JEFFERSON DAVIS DEAD. j
Hon. Jefferson Davis, preside
of the fallen Confederacy, died
New Orleans last Thursday nigl
With that same depth of earneft
ness that has characterized ttujir
admiration and love for him dur
ing the trying vicissitudes that have
marked his notable life since he as
sumed the leadership of the south
ern cause in war, the people of the
south evince a spontaneous sorrow
at his death and a profound sympa
thy for the near and dear ones be
reft around his hearthstone. Among
all the south’s leaders in the mom
morable struggle, he, the chief, has
been the most conspicuously con
sistent. Home have, through bold
concessions and cringing sycophan
cy, even, enjoyed position and spoils
in the restored government, under
the republican party, under whose
theories and propositions the war
was fought on the northern side
and the south as a section attemp
ted to be continuously humiliated;
others through the democratic par
ty’s periodical triumphs,and ascen
dancy have risen to a restored citi
zenship with a fullness of honor;
but Mr. Davis, marking out deliber
ately his course, at the end of the
struggle, has l>orne heroically the
indignities of his enemies, clinging
firmly to the principles he at first
espoused, and passing through an
ordeal no other man in this coun
try has had to meet, resignedly and
in a manner which proves him a
hero, patriot, statesman and Chris
tian gentleman.
Historians may handle Mr. Davis’
career as they choose, but the true
southern heart will long cherish the
memory of the man who bore all
for his people’s sake in the darkest
period of the south’s history.
Rev. Sam W. Small, who shortly
after his conversion, several years
ago, entered the Methodist minis
try and through his able preaching
won considerable notoriety, has
gone over to the Episcopalians.
Ollt MANGANESE LANDS.j
The Courant-American still in
sists that the owners of our manga
nese lands should form soimf kind
of association for the proper protec
tion of themselves as well as saving
to Cartersville and Bartow county
the benefits that would accrue from
their development and the manufac
turing into steel of their output.
Our manganese interests are the
most important we have —that is,
they would give us more prestige
as a manufacturing community.
True, we have mountains of the
tinest iron ores, but there are so
many towns throughout the boom
ing south that have this, though in
somewhat less degree. We have
all the resources that any other
section can boast of, besides tower
ing high above them witli our mag
nificent manganese interests,
The Cartersville manganese dis
trict is fast proving itself the finest
in the world, and no people are
finding this out faster than the steel
makers of the north. They are
sending their agents here daily
who are here and there picking up>
the best leases and properties. Sat
urday a gentleman gave short op
tions, with good bonus, on twopriqi
erties, to a representative'of An
drew Carnegie, of Pittsburg. That
agent is looking out for more op
tions. From the amounts he gives,
and the shortness of their life, we
cannot help but think he means
business. When these steel makers
secure our best lands the result
will be:
First, It will be mined and shipped
abroad for manufacture.
Second, Foreign manufacturers
will secure enough to dictate terms
to the owners of other properties.
Third, Cartersville and Bartow
county will lose all the inxiefits of
the immense amount of money that
would be spent in turning this ore
into steel in our midst. * "W.
AN e could go along ami lenumer
ate many evils that mi Jit arise',
but will cover it by statin* that if
this bottling up of our Jury best i
mineral interests is continued we I
had as well give up all hodp of ever 1
becoming a manufacturing point of j
any great Importance. ;
A ferro-manganese furnlee here, |
besides proving a bonanza to its
owners, would be the* M f a t ,.
veloping all our projffVl s . With
this a home demand toifaiur ore
arises. N\ hen the farnker upon
whose land the ore exist* in good
quantities, knows that hexi.in bring
a ton of ore to town and Aet a fair
cash priee for it, he will gMy liberal
attention to the busiiat aud in
time, by the continuoJF develop
ment, may bring to lighf | maguifi
cent property. Develop|. em is all
that k necessary to mail rtn r mftn .
ganese lots valuable. As they are,
they are being scooped up at ridic
ulously low prices.
We have been informed by a reli
able gentleman that money could lie
easily raised for theereetion of a 50-
tonferro-mangauese plant if suffici
ent manganese property can be had
at fair values. The owners of these
lands, say to the amount of $150,000
could form a pool, and, putting this
against $150,000 cash by other
parties to be expended in building
and operating the furnace. This
would be fair to all parties. Lands
that are now not bringing in a dol
lar could be made a continual source
of good revenue to their owners.
Ferro-manganese, as claimed by
experts, can be made for less than
S4O per ton. There is a rushing de
mand for an 80 per cent, article at
SIOO. The profit, as it will be seen,
is perfectly satisfactory.
Let our people consider this mat
ter, and at once, or they will wake
up one of these fine mornings with
their hands tied, so far as the mak
ing of steel in Bartow county is
concerned.
GEORGIA JAILS.
The Constitution of Sunday last
contained an article on the condi
tion of the jails of the state, which
we are satisfied, though containing
some truth is highly colored. We
can not believe that the Georgia
pris >ns are the poorest kept of any
in the Union, as is sought to be
made apparent by tin statements
of Mr. W. H. Turner.
While among the alleged well
kept jails no mention is made of
Bartow’s, it is certain that none
of the harrowing stories narrated
of the treatment of prisoners in
some jails is true as regards tins
one, and on the contrary they are
given the kindest and most humane
attention.
Mr. Turner, who has taken away
prisoners from this jail, has never
received one from it who was not
in better condition than when first
incarcerated. The ventilation is
all that could be wished, food of
proper kind and plenteous, cleanli
ness duly observed, and every pos
sible comfort afforded the unfortu
nates within its walls—down to the
providing of the best medical at
tention, when needed, and even
furnishing clothing.
Mr. Turner, though doubtless,
well informed about the jails, should
yet enlarge his criterion ami when
wishing to learn lurther of the well
kept jails we trust he will not for
get Bartow’s!
The words of Mr. Earp, the Lon
don financier who lias lately engi
neered tin* purchase by English
capitalists of mineral properties in
the south, are refreshing to our pet
pie, if not even absolutely pro
phetic. His conceptions of the
situation are proven keen when he
says, in speaking of the south:
“When the work of making steel
shall be begun down there it will
be a sorry day for Pennsylvania,
because I believe there will be
turned out Justus good a product
as is made in that state and at a
much lower cost, The Cuban mag
netic ores that are necessary for
steel-making are now shipped to
Eastern Pennsylvania, and it
would be a much shorter route to
that section, where all the other re
quired materials are readily found
in abundance.”
The congregation of the First
Baptist church in Macon last Sun
day gave SSOO for the assistance of
Rev. W. H. Mclntosh, who on ac
count of age and feeble health, has
retired from ministerial work. Dr.
Mclntosh is well known in this
part of the state as an able, faith
ful servant of God, having served
the church at Cedartown several
years ago and since traveled in the
work of instructing colored min
isters.
W. A. Pledger, the noted negro
politician of Atlanta, is haranguing
those of liis color in the lower part
of the state, and while claiming to
lie in the interest of harmony be
tween the races is uttering unreas
onable tilings and dealing out un
wholesome counsel. The negroes
will do well to give such as he a
wide berth.
Mr. Cowles, of North Carolina,
though a Democrat, refused to vote
for Mr. Carlisle for Speaker of the
house for no more patriotic reason
than that gentleman had failed to
recognize him on the floor at a time
when he desired to be recognized.
Such small men as lie should here
after be elected to stay at home.
“It looks,” says Representative j
(FFerrall, of Virginia, “as if liar- \
rtson’s eulogy of the negro was for
the purpose of capturing the votes j
of the southern negro delegates to j
the next national convention.”
The Chicago girl, will as usual,
j this Christmas, hang up her stock
ing; and some person has been
cruel enough to assert that it is am
ply capacious to hold the world’s
fair.
Gen. P. M. B. Young was among
the first of the distinguished mourn
ers from other points that gathered
sorrowingly in New Orleans around
Mr. Davis’ bier. Dr. Jones inciden
tally mentioning to Mrs. Davis his
presence, she said: “Do you mean
General J'ieree Young?” Dr. Jones
gave an affirmitive answer. “Why,
1 knew him when lie was nothing
but a 1)0/, when Mr. Davis gave
him his commission. I remember,
too, that he was a dashing officer,
and I would like to see him.”
In the past nine months Atlan
tians have built for themselves 688
homes at an average of $3,000.
Within tlie same time other Atlan
tians have added 151 improvements
at $5,000 apiece. Two million and
a half gone into homes this year.
In nine months the people have
put one-twelfth of their wealth in
places to live, and yet it it claimed
that flies are still on the town.
The owners of our manganese
lands are sleeping over their best
interests. Let them pool their pos
sessions and build a ferro-manga
nese furnace at once. The interests
of the county, as well as their own,
demand it.
Hon. T. W. Glover lias been re
elected mayor of Marietta. An en
ergetic young man, fully up to the
times in these days of progress lie
has made a capital mayor and will
yet bring our sister city out of the
“kinks.”
During the performance of “Un

Tin: HOTELS change hands.
New Landlords to Greet the Drummers
and Other Guests.
The St. .lames hotel, the Miller
| house and the Bartow house will all
be under new management shortly.
I Each one of these places is being
fixed up in an attractive way and
i all are to lie rim as first-class
houses.
Mr. Pleas Shelman, who is known
by every man who has traveled
this section, as a man who knows
how to keep a hotel, has leased the
St. James hotel and will change the
name to the Shelman house. He is
a stirring man and is very popular
with the traveling public, and
when business is dull lie has a
knack of filling up his house with
visitors from abroad. He informs
us that he lias already more appli
cants than he can accommodate.
Mr. Ilenry ltoff, of Calhoun, will be
his night clerk.
For a number of years Mrs. M.
A. Boozmade a most enviable repu
tation in her management of Cedar
town’s leading hotel. Drummers
would travel many miles in order
to stop over there on Sundays. Her
house was one of the most attrac
tive in North Georgia and every
body praised Mrs. Booz and her
hotel. Therefore it is a matter of
congratulation to our town that she
lias secured the Miller house and
will take' charge next Monday. The
house will be greatly improved and
it is safe to say Mrs. Booz will get
her share of the patronage of the
public.
And there’s the bid Bartow house,
a wombwful improvement is being
made on it. It is being renovated
from cellar to garret and will be re
furnished with new and handsome
furniture. It is to be under the
management of Mr. Sharp, a stran
ger in these parts,but who doubtless
will not remain so long. He has
the reputation of being a line hotel
man and lie is certainly starting in
a most progressive way.
Nothing helps a town so much as
good hotels. It is not so necessary
to have costly palaces whose wails
tower way up towards the ethereal
as it is to have cheerful, home
like places of public entertainment,
where the traveler feels assured of
a cordial welcome and his wants
and comforts attended to with
painstaking care. It may be said
that three good hotels cannot find
support here. It is the history of
other places that one good hotel
helps the others, rather than being
:i Hi sad vantage, onJ vtoe vpntt.
They draw people to the town.
Drummers come tar out of their
way to get to a place where they
can get good accommodations. Vis
itors from the north and visitors
from the southern points come for
the same reason. We believe all
three will be rewarded with a good
patronage. They at least have our
very best wishes.

Here’s to the Kickers.
An exchange sings thus of a class
well known in every community:
“ftod bless Hie kickers, the dear
old kickers, <iod bless them every
one. For they’ll kick when you’re
sober anti in for work—and they’ll
kick when you are in for fun! They’ll
buck at improvements in real estate,
they’ll buck at booming the town—
and at everything that’ll work for
good, some kicker will frown and
frown! If this thing or that tiling is
thought to be good, some other they
say will be better —anil if one could
write them up as a “mass”—they’d
knock off that superfluous lettter!
When these self-same kickers arrive
at the gates—the pearly gates of
heaven—they’ll kick if offered a
nice small crown and pick out a
number of ’ieveni On earth, in
Heaven, at home, on the street,
there are men who are bound to
kick—until we declare there's no
peace anywhere—’iis enough to
make a man sick. So out on those
kickers, those comic old kickers—
that blight that is thrust on a town,
and when they kick with their mu
lish ways, for heaven’s sake frown
them down.”

THE INVALID’S HOPE.
Many seemingly incurable eases of
blood poison, catarrh, scrofula and rheu
matism have been cured by B. B. B.
(Botanic Blood Balm), made by tlie
Blood Balm Go., Atlanta, Ga. Write to
them for book filled with convincing
proof.
G. W. B. Raider, living seven miles
from Athens, Ga., writes: “For sever
al years I suffered with running ulcers,
which doctors treated and pronounced
incurable. A single bottle of B. B. B.
did 1110 more good than all tlio dooto-s.
I kept on using it and every ulcer
healed.”
I). G. Kinard A Son, Towaliga, Ga.,
writes: “We induced a neighbor to try
B. B. B. for catarrh which lie thought
was incurable, as it had resisted all treat
ment. It delighted him, and continu
ing its use he was cured sound and
well.”
It. M. Dawson, East Point, Ga., writes:
“My wife had scrofula fifteen years.
She kept growing worse. She lost her
hair and her skin b>-oke out fearfully.
Debility, emaciation and no appetite
followed. After physicians and numer
ous advertised medicines failed, I tried
B. li. 8., and her recovery was rapid
and complete.”
Oliver Secor, Baltimore, Md., writes:
“I suffered from weak back and rheu
matism. B. B. B. has proven to be the
only medicine that gives me relief.

Baby One Solid Rash
Minister cured of an extremely itchy and
painful skin disease, with brain-like
scales. General health affected. Used
Cuticura Itemedics. Relief first day*
Worked wonderfully* Completely Cured.
Cured by Cuticura.
Our oldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
virulent, malignant, skin disease. All ordinary
remedies tailing, we called our family phj sician,
who attempted to cure it ;but.lt spread with almost
incredible rapidity, until the lower portion of the
little fellow’s person, irorn the middle of his back
down to his knees, was one solid r sh. ugly, oalu
ful, blotched and malicious. We had no rest at
night, no peace by day. Finally, we were advised
to try tne Cuticura Remedies. The effect was
simply marvelous. In three or four weeks a

This is to bear testimony that I have
used R. C. Mooney’s Providential Pile
