VOL. X. AGAINST ''ORIGINALS.” A Very Determined Meeting Last Friday Night. Some Ringing Speeches >lale and Mean ing Resolution* Unanimously Adopted by Those in Attendance. It was a very determined meet ing last Friday night. Notwithstanding the short time in which notice had been given a large crowd assembled at the Tab ernacle to take some steps to pre vent the opening of an “original package” shop in this city, whi?h had been threatened. Rev. W. 11. Cooper was called to the chair, and Mr. J, B. Coixnelly was elected seeretaiy. • Mr. Cooper stated the object of the meeting by quoting a part of the call that was published in the Courant-Ameriean last week, to wit: “We propose to concentrate the sentiment of our community, so that we will guarantee to make an ‘original package’ out of any scoundrel who attempts to run that game on us to the destruction of the peace and good order of our sober, law abiding community.” lie thought it needless to advise the people oC Cartersville to pursue a conservative course, for they were a conservative people and he was glad of it. While we wanted to concentrate the sentiment of our people so as to avoid the evil threat ened us, it would he well to keep within the law in doing so. Hav ing made this statement, Mr. Coop er announced that the meeting was trendy for business. Rev. Sam. P. Jones offered the following resolution: Whereas, The “original package” scheme is vexing many parts of our country, and Whereas, Cartersville is as subject to this scheme as any other respectable town in the United States, and, * Whereas, We are already threatened with the vexed nuisance, Therefore he it Resolved, Ist, That we do not want whisky sold in our community and county in original or any other sort of packages. Resolved 2d, it shall not he. Resolved, 3d, We pledge ourselves to carryout these resolutions. The read preamble and resolu tions were moved to be adopted and promptly seconded. Mr. Jones spoke in support of the resolutions, and said that lie hoped they would be unanimously adopted without amendment. He express ed the feeling, that all we needed to keep out the “original package” shop was for the people of the town to stand firm together. His talk was pointed and emphatic, and lie made ids usual number of sharp and cutting hits. After Mr. Jones was through Mrs. Felton was asked to say some thing, but she excused herself by :stating that she had brought the doctor along to do the talking. Hr. Felton, who was comfortably seat ed behind a post, was then called on and he responded with an able and exhaustive speech. He an nounced himself as being heartily in favor of the resolutions read, and would vote for their adoption. He thought, though, the place to remedy the present trouble was in congress, and said the people should send men to represent them, there who would enact proper laws. He made a strong appeal in favor of state sovereignity and the aboli tion of the internal revenue system. After he was through the Rev. J. S. Hillhouse made a ringing speech in favor of the resolutions. One thing that troubled him was to know what could be done with a scamp who would override the wi lies and desires ot this peace ful community. One thing he knew he could do, and that was to preach his funeral. Rev. 11. J.Ellis, Mr. John W. Akin and ('apt. M.L. Pritchett also made speeches in favor of the resolutions. The question was then called for and by a rising vote of all present the resolutions were adopted. Nothing could have shown the determination of the people to keep out of tlie town and county the sale of whisky than the spirit of this meeting. The speeches, which are only partially quoted iiere, were the decided expressions of the people at large. If a man, in the face of all tit is, would attempt to run such a business here, he would do so at fearful risks. Uncle George’s Marriage. On last Wednesday afternoon,9th inst., at the residence of Mr. Spar tan Gilreath, near Cassville, Rev. George H. Gilreath and Mrs. Ameri ca Loveless were united in mar riage, Justice J. P. Hawks perform ing the ceremony. “Uncle George,” as he is familiarly called, has al ways been known to exercise good judgment in all matters, and when he decided to change from the state of a widower his characteristic judgment never failed him. Mrs. Loveless is a lady of many good qualities, and by a long residence in the county has made many friends. As we have intimated, Uncle George was fortunate in se curing such an excellent woman for a wife. Everybody knows Uncle George. Tin: gourant-amerigax He has lived in Bartow county nearly sixty years and is one of our very oldest citizens. During these many years he has always been held in high esteem by all. His benevolent nature and high Christian character have endeared him to every man, woman and child who know him. He has reared a large family and imparted to them many of his good traits. The frosts of eighty-two winters have whitened his locks, but he is yet healthy and vigorous, and we trust that a kind Provi dence will spare him and his good lady to live among us many years to come. May this couple who have linked their lives together have a pleasant journey through the remainder of their days, BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT. Proceedings of the July Term Bartow Superior Court, 1890.

THE OLD FOLKS. % A Sermon lor Their Benefit Last Sunday. Olil Time Song;* tendered With Zeat—Ah Interesting and Memorable Scene at the ItaptiMt Church. Rev. W. 11. Cooper, the pastor of the Baptist church in this city, is one of the most zealous men in the cause of Christ in this end of .he state. He preaches regularly to his con gregation bright, logical and im pressive sermons and is exceedingly original in inaugurating new de partures to add new interest to church matters. It was a happy conception of his that culminated in the very interesting services at his church last Sunday. He announced several days be forehand that he would preach specially to the old people. Then he bestirred himself untiringly to the end that all the old people who could should be present, visiting them at their homes and requesting them to come out. For those who were too feeble from age or infirmi ties to walk, lie provided vehicles. There were many who could not be on hand, yet it must have been a very consoling scene to him to witness the presence of so many that were there. The congregation was conspicuous ly well sprinkled with silvered heads. It is questionable whether a like number of very old people will be again in years seen together in our community.' Mr. Cooper’s text was the 14th verse of the 92d psalm, “They shall still bring forth fruit in old age.” There was the strictest attention during the services and the younger and middle aged members of the congregation enjoyed them quite as well as the old people, and now and then as a stray tear would triekle down a wrinkled cheek, it would evoke solemn expressions and evince reverential feelings. F’rotn his appropriate text Mr. Cooper uttered many strong words and presented many pleasing pas sages. He preached oil the trials and burdens, the consolations and joys and the duties of old age, say ing many good things it was profit able, for both old and young to hear. He spoke of how youth should reverence age and of how old age should beware of fretting and pet tishness as it added unhappiness to their own lives and by example ef fected the young. Of a good old patient, agreeable grandmother, lie said any child might he proud. There was a silent sanction to the words of the sermon, and all who heard it felt grateful for the pleasure. The music consisted of the most familiar of the old songs, rendered without the organ, the congrega tion feelingly joining in them, and no melody sweeter or more inspir ing lias been wafted upon our breezes. JUDGE MILNER’S CHARGE. The Grand Jury Instructed in Regurd to n New Court House. Judge Milner’s charge to the grand jury last Monday morning was a particularly able one and was highly commended by all who heard him. His views in regard to the building of anew court house, as also the violations of our prohibi tion law, are matters of great in terest to our people, and we give, in substance, what he said. Judge Milner said it was the duty of the grand jury to examine the public buildings and to see if the court house was safe and suitable for the purposes for which it is used. The noise of the trains delayed the court and frequently justice was not done because the juries could not hear the witnesses. Often a man’s life, liberty and property are at stake and it is of vast importance that the jurors hear every word that is said in the trials of cases. He said that Bartow was one of the wealthiest and most prosperous counties in the south and in the matter of buildings she should not he left behind iier sisters. He cited the fact that Polk county has just erected a $30,000 court house and the small counties of Murray and Gordon had erected creditable buildings for court purposes. Whit field, a great deal smaller county than Bartow, is now tearing down as good a building as Ihis and will erect a fine court house in its place. If the grand jury should recom mend the building of anew court house it should lie built for the fu ture, something that will last for years and something our children will he proud of. When the present building was erected the Western and Atlantic railroad was not doing one-fifth the business it is now do ing and the East and West railroad was not built at the time. The running and stopping of trains in front of the court house, the blow ing of whistles and the escapement of steam made it impossible at times to tri nsact business. Judge Milner also charged the grand jury in regard to the selling of whisky in the county, whether in original packages or otherwise. He said that the prohibition law had never been repealed and that it was still in force in Bartow coun ty. It is the duty of the grand jury to look into the law and see if it had been violated. If so find out the violators and if the jury finds any one guilty on this charge he would see to it that his estate was administered on. He thought our present laws were sufficient to deal with such eases and that mob vio lence was unnecessary in the hand ling of the question. A HORRIBLE DEATH. A Fireman Goes t Sleep cn the Traek and is Killed. Mr. W. 1). Paul, a fireman on the Western and Atlantic railroad, met a horrible death at Tunnel Hill early last Thursday morning. He was working on a section of schedule No. 7, through north bound freights. The train had gone in on the side track in order to let the north bound passenger, No. 11, pass, it was several min utes before the passenger was due, and Mr. Paul got off of the engine and sat down on the end of a cross tie on the main line, as is a habit with railroad men at meeting points. He had been on double duty and was consequently very weary and tired from loss of sleep. Very soon No. II came thundering down (he traek, running at a high rate/of speed, as it is down grade at this point, Mr. Paul had fallen sound asleep with his face in his hands and the noise and jarring of the on coming train did not awaken him until it was rigid upon him. Engineer Squires, of train No. 11. did not discover the unfor tunate man until it was too late, and as he attempted to rise the en gine struck him with full force, knocking him about thirty feet and killing him almost instantly. His body was terribly mangled. Mr. Paul’s home was in Bartow county, six miles east of Adairs ville, in Cedar creek community, lie was about twenty-five years old and unmarried. He leaves a mother and several sisters to sor row over his untimely and tragic end. He had been on the road only about three months, and the new of his death was a shock. He was well-known and very popular in the upper part of the county, where he was raised. To the Surviving Vetei ai- of the 40th Ga. Regiment. In July of last year the Bth Ga. Battallion survivors met in reunion at Adairsville. By invitation sev-, end of the survivors of our regi ment were present, a temporary organization of the survivors of the 40th Georgia was effected. The un dersigned was chosen temporary chairman, and John L. Mosteller temporary secretary., The survivors of our regiment earnestly and unanimously re quest me to issue a call for a meeting of all the surviving mem bers of our regiment. In obedience to this wish, I hereby call said meeting for the 14th of August, 2890, in Cartersville, Ga. At this meeting a permanent organization will be effected, and the day will he spent in mingling witli our comrades once more. All survivors of the 40th Georgia are requested to be present. We hope to have speeches, music and other appro priate exercises. We are getting old and our ranks are thinning each year. Let us embrace this opportunity of perpetuating our or ganization and clasping hands with each other again. Capt. J. L. Neel, Ch’mn.

What A Stranger Thinks. Said a gentleman, a stranger who was visiting in the city for short while, to a Courant-American re porter some days ago: “Cartersville is one of the prettiest towns I know anything about. To get off the train and only remain in the central business portion of the place, one can form but a scant idea of the beauty of the town; in fact, one might, in this way, get a |>oor im pression of Cartersville and the Cartersville people. Some of your very best buildings have a dingy appearance. This could very easily l>e remedied by a vigorous use of the paint brush. If all the owners of these buildings would repaint and pencil up, the town would pre sent an altogether different appear ance.” This is true, every word of it. The business portion of the town is hardly in keepings with the resi dence part. It would be money well expended to repaint most of the business buildings. Eighteenth Georgia Reunion. The survivors’ association of the 18th Georgia regiment will hold their next meeting with company B, at Jefferson, Jackson county, on July 24th, next. A full attendance is particularly desired. H. W. Bell, Pres’t. Geo. S. Owes, Sec’y. ANOTHER BIG DEAL. A Largo Body of Land Bought "Last Book. Tl* (seorgla Mhiikriiono ami Iron Com pany tlie Purchaser*—-The Trans act ton a Cash One. The Georgia Manganese and Iron company, of which Mr. T. B. Fer guson, ot Washington, D.C., is presi dent, and (Senator Butler, of South Carolina, is a leading stockholder, lias just purchased another large body of land near this city. The land lies just north of the town, just outside the corporate limits of the town, and was purchased from Capt. I). W. K. Peacock. There are 360 acres and it is a. fine piece of property. It was a cash transaction, though it is not stated what price was paid for it. it is understood, however, that (’apt. Peacock sold the land much cheaper than is asked for like prop erty in the same vicinity, the object being to get the company as largely interested here us possible. Senator Butler, who was here last Friday, stated that his compa ny now have as much land as they desire, and they will go to im proving that which has already been bought. At tlie Satterfield mines they will put in extensive machinery for the raising and washing of ores, and this property will he worked for all it is worth. But the most important thing of all is the building of a ferromanga nese furnace by this company. Senator Butler gave this out as a fact, the plant to be located on the Peacock purchase. The hulldlngof this furnace, with the carrying out of other important projects in contemplation, will start Cartersville to moving on the up grade at a very rapid rate. The future of the town was never so sure, as any one can readily see who will take the trouble to inform himself of what is going on. It is unnecessary to mention these enterprises with any sort of nour ish, for they speak for themselves. To start with, the Etowah company, which took the initiatory step in ’de velopment, is making extensive preparations for business. The Car tersville Land and Manganese com pany, composed mainly of Virgini ans, have secured I,B<X) acres of city property, which they will speedily develop. TUene, with the enter prises of the Georgia Manufactur ing an* Iron company, is hound to start tlie growth of the town to ward a city of large size. Alliance Officers Elected. Bartow’ county Farmers’ Alliance met at Cartersville July 3nd, 1890. Called to order by President T. J. Lyon. The following officers were elected for tlie ensuing year: R. N. Best, president; R. J. Bat tle, vice-president; F. It. Walker, secretary; W. W. Roberts, treas urer; W. T. Hamby, chaplain; J. J. Haney, lecturer; H. S. Crawford, assistant lecturer; J. T. Jolly, Lee Burrough and B. A. Barton, execu tive committee. A motion was made and unani mously carried endorsing the ac tion of the Cass Station meeting. F. R. Walker, Secretary B. C. F. A. The picnic will be held at Gillam’s Spring, instead of Euharlee. Public School Teachers Elected. Last Friday evening the board of school commissioners held a meet ing for the purpose of electing teachers for the public schools of the city for the ensuing scholastic year. For the position of first as sistant of the higli school Mrs. Fan nie Conyers was elected, and Miss Lena Ford was elected ex-officio principal of the east side grammar school. The old teachers were re elected, as follows: M isses Young and Thomas, teach ers in the east side school. Misses Hodnett, Ware and Hall, teachers in the west side school. There were no changes made in the colored school. The action of the hoard in the re election of the old teachers is in dorsed by all the patrons of tlie schools. They are competent and reliable, and in their hands the children w ill make great progress. A Shooting Scrape in Rome. A shooting affray occurred in Rome Thursday of last week, in which two Bartow county men fig ured as principals. Allen Martin, better knowm as Coot Martin, shot James Burroughs, son of Mr. Lee Burroughs of Kingston, the hall en tering the left shoulder and ranging around to the right. The wound was quite a painful one, but it is believed it will not result seriously. There has been for some time a had feeling between tlie two. Martin was arrested hut lias since been re leased upon preliminary trial, he lieing held justifiable in shooting at Burroughs. Rev. Geo.
