HOW FOR BUSINESS.
A Proposition to the Merchants of
Carte rsville.
They are Called On to Go Into the Cotton
liusinefts and Redeem Cartersville'g
Reputation as a Good Market.
Why not improve our cotton mar
ket ?
Asa place for the selling of the
fleecy staple, Cartersville has for
the past several seasons been at the
bottom of the ladder. Our territory
has been lessened each year until
now only about four or five thous
and bales of cotton a season are
sold here. Cotton that would natu
rally be marketed in Cartersville is
carried to Rome, Atlanta, Marietta,
Acvvorth and other places.
There must be some reason for
this. Surely farmers would not
carry their cotton to Rome when it
would be nearer to Cartersville if
there were not some inducements
in favor of the former. It is the
duty of the business men of Car
eers ville to find out what is the mat
ter and, if possible, correct the
cause of the trouble.
The buyers of Cartersville, we are
confident, pay as much as they pos
sibly can for cotton. Rut still, while
the difference in the market prices
here and in Rome are but slight,
ours fail to give satisfaction to the
growers.
What is the remedy?
Mr. W. 11. Howard, our enter
prising and successful banker, an
swers the question this way:
“Let every merchant in town, or
at least the leading ones, go to buy
ing cotton. As they will sell the
farmers goods from the stores they
can afford to pay better prices than,
the regular buyers. If this is done
and the merchants will pursue a
liberal policy, we will get from live
to seven thousand bales of cotton
each season that we now never see.”
“And what then?” asked a re
porter.
“The money that the cotton is
bought with will be spent in Car
tersville. All branches of business
will be bencfltted and money will
be more plentiful.”
“Wouldn’t the merchants, who
know but little of cotton, be tread
ing on dangerous ground ?”
“Not at all. It would be quite safe
and profitable. It is very easy to
tell white cotton from stains and
clean from trashy, and with but lit
tle experience they would be able
to properly classify the different
grades. Rut, if that didn’t suit, the
regular buyers could bid cash prices
and the merchants could then raise
on them.”
“Do merchants of other towns
buy cotton ?”
“Yes, the merchants of quite a
number of towns buy cotton, and
it has proven quite a successful
scheme. Here is Acworth, for in
stance, where the merchants bin
all the cotton that comes to tin
town. There is only one regular
buyer, and he buys from the mer
chants. The consequence is that
Acworth receives from eight to ten
thousand bales of cotton each year
and the merchants sell a large quan
tity of goods.”
“Then you are satisfied that this
is the best way to increase our cot
ton receipts?”
“I certainly think so. I have had
some personal experience in the
cotton business as a merchant and
know what lam talking about. In
1873, the year of the famine, my
firm|had bought an unusually large
stock of goods. The farmers would
bring their cotton to town and it
was almost impossible for them to
get any bids. The bank was out ol
ffioney and the occupation of the
buyers was gone. It was a very
gloomy time, and when I though!
of the bills for the goods that were
on my shelves, which would soon
be due, I became pretty blue, I tell
you. Something had to be done.
>So 1 went around to the wagons
and commenced buying cotton, pay
ing a certain per cent, in goods from
my store. I had the biggest trade
in town that winter and met every
bill before it w r as due.”
It certainly seems to us that Car
tersville would be greatly benefitted
by the merchants adopting such a
course. It has proven successful at
other places, and why not here?
Something should be done to better
the cotton markat, and if any one
can suggest anything better we
would be glad to hear from him.
Who are more interested in hav
ing a big cotton market than the
merchants? They are the ones who
have goods to sell, and the more cot
ton sold means a bigger trade for
them. If Cartersville would re
ceive twenty thousand bales of cot
ton annually, every store in town
would have as much business as it
could attend to during the buying
sea-ons.
A big cotton business here means
an increase of railroad facilities,
for if there be a very large number
of bales annually received, other
railroads would reach out for Car
tersville thatthey might get a share
of the increased freight.
If our receipts were sufficiently
increased some one would build a
cotton compress and big warehouses
THE GOURANT-AMERIGAN.
would be erected, and other enter
prises would naturally follow, and
from this business alone our town
would reap large benefits.
Look at other towns that have
prospered by the merchants adopt
ing a wise and progressive course.
Our neighbor, Rome, increased
her receipts from a few thousand a
year to the hundred thousands by
the merchants entering the market
and raising the prices. This caused
a sensation among the farmers of
north Georgia, and as a consequence
the streets of the city were day
after day packed and jammed with
wagons bringing the staple to mar
ket. This great increase has re
sulted in Rome getting new rail
roads, the building of large com
presses, the erection of immense
warehouses and the enlargement of
all her business enterprises.
Cartersville is n>w on rising
grounds, with never a better pros
pect for the future. The move
ments now on foot of an industrial
nature will increase the w ealth,pop
ulation and general prosperity of
the place. While these plans are
being carried out, let the merchants
of Cartersville come to the front
and show themselves capable of
occupying every inch of her legiti
mate territory, striking out boldly
for the trade that is naturally ours,
but that has of late years shifted to
other places. Let none of our lead
ing business men stand back; but
let there be a general moving up
all along the line and then will we
have a season of genuine prosperi
ty that will go far ahead of any
thing ever dreamed of by the most
sanguine.
What say the merchants of Car
tersville to the plan ?
We hope to give their views of
the matter in next w eek’s issue of
our paper.
DEATH OF MR. BRUMBY.
The Brilliant Young Editor of the
Americns Times Basses Away.
Robert Ilaynesworth Rrumby,
editor of the Americus Daily Times,
died at the home of Maj. C. 11.
Smith in this city, on last Monday
morning, at 11 o’clock.
This sad announcement will be
read with feelings of deep regret by
riemis of this bright young man all
over Georgia. Here in Cartersville
where he resided for many years,
and was loved and esteemed for his
many noble qualities, his untimely
lemise is sincerely mourned.
Mr. Rrumby was taken ill at his
home in Americus with typho-ma
larial fever, llis physician, in the
hope of improving his condition,
advised his removal to this city,
and consequently he was brought
here about three weeks ago. Rut
the disease had fastened itself too
deeply into his system, and after a
short struggle with life he breathed
his last.
Mr. Rrumby was the son of the
late Maj. A. V. Rrumby, who died
in this city about three years ago,
was a brother of Mrs. W. I. Hey
ward, and was thirty-two years of
age. He was united in marriage
to Miss Stella Smith, daughter of
Maj. C. 11. Smith, on June 21, 1888,
and one child, a sweet little girl,
blessed this union.
Ry profession Mr. Rrumby was a
lawyer and practiced in the early
years of his manhood in Texas.
He was a young man of unques
tioned ability and while at the bar
made rapid strides toward the head
of his profession. He, however,
developed a fondness for journal
ism and for the past several years
has been connected with the press
of Anniston, Rrunswick, Americus
and other places. His productions
were bright, piquant and entertain
'ing, and his strong personality
shown out clear and decidedly in
the columns of the papers with
which he was connected. A few
months ago, while working as an
editorial writer on the Brunswick
Times, he attracted, by his writ
ings, the attention of the citizens
of Americus, who were organizing
a strong publishing company for
the purpose of printing a daily
newspaper. He was called to take
the editorial and business managi -
ment of that journal, the Daily
Times; and in the short time it has
existed it has taken rank with the
best papers of the state.
The remains of Mr. Rrumby were
interred in the Oak Hill cemetery
Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, be
ing followed to the grave by a large
number of sorrowing relatives and
friends. The burial services were
touching and sad, the sermon being
preached by Rev. J. S. Hillhouse.
Little Willie Dallis Slielniau.
| LaGrange, Ua., Rej>orter.|
The death of this sweet little girl,
the only child of Mr. and Mrs. P.B.
Shelman, of Cartersville, has cast a
gloom over the hearts of relatives
and friends in LaGrange, who are
in deep sympathy with the afflicted
parents. The sad event took place
on Sunday nigh., July 6th. She
suffered several weeks from an in
jury received by a fall at a cnil
dred’s party before death relieved
the gentle patient from all earthly
sorrows. May the sad visitation
be sanctified to the hearts that
bleed, and mother and father see
the loved one again in the grand
reunion beyond the grave.
CARTERSVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1800.
DEATH IN THE RIVER.
A White Man Drowned While
Kathing in the Etowah. *
While Nearly .Midway the Stream He in
Attacked With Cramp and Sink*
Under the Water.
C. E. McFee, a young white man
who has been employed for several
weeks by the Etowah Iron Compa
ny, met his death in the Etowah
river last Saturday a little after
noon.
McFee, with several companions,
went in bathing just after the noon
lunch, and, with the others, had
swam across the river ami started
back, when he was attacked w ith
cramp. He called for help, but be
fore any one could lend him any
assistance he sank for the last time
under the water.
John Pollock, the foreman under
whom McFee worked, said of the
accident: “1 was eating dinner
about 12 o’clock, noon, when I heard
some of my men who were down at
the river call. 1 ran down as quick
as I could and found one of their
number, a man named McFee, had
been drowned. I got there eight or
ten minutes after lie had sunk last.
I then hail the men look for the
body, and in about one hour and ton
minutes after I got there, or one
hour and twenty-three minutes af
ter he had sank for the last time,
the body was recovered. The men
went into swim where Mansfield’s
branch empties into the Etowah
river. The body was found about
150 feet below that. He had been
working here for about six weeks or
so, driving a team.”
Mr. George 11. Morgan, a fellow
workman, and with whom McFee
boarded, witnessed the unfortunate
drowning. He gives his statement
of the occurrence:
“About half-past eleven in the
morning we stopped for dinner, and
about twelve o’clock Frank Ask
land, Hitup and Tom Maddox, Mc-
Fee and myself started to the river
to go in swimming. Tom Maddox
was the first in the water. I was
the first to start across the river.
The two Maddox boys went over,
and also McFee, the latter landing
about twenty feet below the rest of
us. Ilitup Maddox and myself
started back first, after which Tom
Maddox and McFee started, McFee
being about last McFee caimyibout
one-fourth of the way across the
river when he called and said he
had the cramps, and I said: “Are
you in earnest, Mack?” He made
no reply, or if he did I did not get
it. I turned and went to him, but
by the time I reached him I was so
exhausted and the circumstances
were such that I could give him no
aid. 1 went down the river and
told him to float down the stream,
lie did float and went down twenty
or twenty-five feet, and a little
nearer the bank. When I got to
where 1 could touch the bottom, I
turned-and looked back and found
he was following and thought he
could make it. When I again looked
back I saw him going down for the
last time. I holloed to bring a boat
and waded in as far as I could, con
tinuing to call for the boat, which
was brought in about ten minutes
or so, it being some distance away.
We then searched for the body and
found it about 1:25 p. m. The body
was drawn into the boat and
brought to the right bank of the
river and remained there until the
undertaker came, about 4 o’clock.
It was then carried to the under
taker’s, where it was prepared for
burial, afterwards carried to my
house where it remained until Sun
day at three o’clock in the after
noon, when it was taken to ,Oak
Hill cemetery and interred.”
Ilitup and Tom Maddox were the
ones who found the body, bringing
it up after diving the fourth time.
McFee was a stranger here, very
little being known about him. He
appeared to be about thirty years
of age and claimed Virginia as his
home. It is said he once ran a res-'
taurant in Marietta and has resided
in Florida. It has been impossible
to find out where his relatives live
that they might be apprised of the
sad event.
A SAD DEATH.
Mr. Henry P. Ford is Attacked with
Lockjaw anil Dies.
Mr. Henry P. Ford, of this city,
after an illness of nearly two weeks
died last Monday morning at 5
o’clock. Mr. Ford met with an ac
cident on Tuesday, the Bth inst.,
which terminated in his death.
He was sitting on a fence when one
of the rails broke, precipitating
him to the ground and resulted in
the breaking of his right arm just
above the wrist, at a place which
had before been broken. The hurt
was a decidedly painful one, but
nothing serious was expected from
it. The member was set and it
was thought the patient was get
ting along all right until last Thurs
day when he experienced a violent
contraction of the muscles of the
jaw. The best medical aid could
do him no good and he suffered
much agony until Monday morn
ing when he died.
Mr. Ford was alxiut thirty-five
years of age, and for the past few
years has been engaged in the mer
cantile business on the upper end
of Tennessee street. He leaves a
wife and two children to mourn
their loss. He was a brother to
Col. F. M. Ford, Messrs. Ed and
John Ford and Mrs. R. VV. Satter
field, of this city. For the past
eighteen months he has been a
faithful and consistent member of
the Baptist church of this city.
The remains were interred in
Oak Hill cemetery last Tuesday
morning at !>:3O o’clock, the serv
ices being conducted at the grave
by Rev. W. H. Cooper, assisted by
Dr. W. H. Felton.
The bereaved ones have the sym
pathy of all in their affliction.
THE LEGISLATIVE BACK.
Mr. Nee! Gives Howe Reasons Why Mr
Conner Should be Eected.
Mr. \V. J. Neel, of Rome, was in
the city last Monday on professional
business and dropped into the Cou
rant-American office for a few mil -
utes to gossip about men and meas
ures in a political way.
“I very much hope,” said Mr.
Neel in the course of the conversa
tion, “that Mr. J. J. Conner will lie
nominated for the legislature in
Bartow. I have known him inti
mately for nearly ten years, and I
regard him as one of the cleverest
and most competent men in the
county. He combines, in a marked
degree, the elements necessary to
make a good legislator.
“To begin with, he is a fine farmer
and is in full sympathy with the
farmers’ movements. He knows
their wants, and there is no man of
my acquaintance who will more
fearlessly or ably represent th,em in
the legislature. I know that he has
carefully studied the agricultural
interests of the state anil will take
great pride in advocating any meas
ure that promises relief to the far
mers.
“In addition to being a good far
mer, Mr. Conner has a fine knowl
edge of law, and will be able to
prepare in legal and technical
shape any bill, resolution, or report
that may be deemed advisable to
present to the legislature. I regaro
this qualification a- of the greatest
importance in selecting a represen
tative. particularly when that rep
resentative comes from the agricul
tural class. That has l>een, and is
one of the greatest difficulties they
have to contend with.’ Asa rule
they are honest, capable men, but
when it comes to drafting bills anil
preparing rejmrts, they generally
have to look to the lawyers of tin
legislature. It will readily be seen
that this puts them at a disadvan
tage and oftentimes makes them
dependent upon those who eithei
do not understand or are not ii
sympathy with the farmers’ wants
I happen to know that Mr. Conne
is a good lawyer anil thoroughly
capable of meeting every legal re
quirement as a legislator.
“There is another consideratioi
that renders it desirable to haveMr
Conner in the legislature from Bar
tow, and that is his extensive no
quaintance with men in diffeie i
parts of the state. Having livo>
in middle and lower Georgia, In
has a personal acquaintance with
public men that will give him mucl
additional strength in the legisla
ture and enable him to accomplisl
much more for his own people. 1
remember having heard Hon. Jas
H. Blount, of Mac in, speak in th
very highest terms of Conner’s in
tegrity and ability.
‘‘l may be prejudiced in Mr. Con
ne r’s favor because of my persona
friendship for him, but I am honest
in the opinion that a purer, bettei
man could not be found in the coun
ty, and to those of my friends wh<
do not happen to know Mr. Connoi
personally, I unhesitatingly com
mend him as a man in every way
worthy of their confidence ane
support.
“I feel as much interest in th<
prosperity of Bartow county non
as when I voted here. Nearly al
my property interests are still here
my people are here, the truest am!
best friends of my life are here, am
I therefore most earnestly desiri
that this grand old county shoufi
select her very best men to repre
sent her interests in the legislature
Knowing Mr. Conner to be such e
man, 1 shall be most deeply grati
fled at his nomination.”
A Lively Runaway.
Quite a lively runaway excitei
the people on Main street las
Monday morning. A horse whicl
Mr. J. Murray Africa, superinten
dent of the Etowah Iron Company
was driving took fright at th<
switch engine near the ochre mills
Mr. Africa jumped out of the bug
gy and tried to pacify the horse
but the animal broke from hb
grasp and ran towards Main street
At the Satterfield corner the firi
plug was knocked down and tin
glass of the street lamp was shat
tered to pieces. The buggy was
badly torn up.

THE ALLIANCE PICNIC.
A Great and Glorious Time at
Giilani's Spring Last Friday.
The Farmer Folk" £ joy Fe*t of lte*-
Moii miil i Flow of Houl—l#lNtliif?uiHhed
S|MMikei’H Prenent.—A Fine Dinner.
The alliance picnic at Gillam’s
Spring came off last Friday, as ad
vertised. There was a large crowd
present, consisting chiefly of farm
ers and their families. When ten
o’clock arrived it was a fine looking
congregation that thronged the
grove. A large two-horse wagon
was pulled up in thecenter of the
crowd to be used as a speakers’
stand.
Captain Tom Lyon opened the
speaking. He spoke for about half
an hour and was well received. He
talked of the farmers’ affairs and
their right to take a hand in poli
tics, ami urged the alliance to stand
by their candidates. Capt. Lyon
closed bis remarks by introducing
Hon. T. Warren Akin, of Carters
ville. He spoke for an hour, and it
is seldom that an audience is more
highly entertained. His speech was
well suited to the occasion and
abounded in rich anecdotes, whieli
kept up an almost continued laugh
ing. He praised the farmers for
what they had already accomplish
ed, and encouraged them to con
tinue in asserting their rights and
demanding relief. He was over
whelmingly in favor of Mr. Everett
for congress, and predicted ids elec
tion. While lie made no remarks
reflecting on Mr. Clements’ charac
ter, he severely criticized his official
career. His main charge was that
Mr. Clements hail been in congress
ten years and had never accom
plished anything worth mention
ing.
Capt. Lyon then introduced Mr.
Everett as “our next congressman.”
Mr. Everett did not make a lengthy
speech, as lie was suffering witli se
vere hoarseness. He said lie had
nothing to say against Mr.Clements
as a good democrat, hut, like Mr.
Akin, he ventilated the congress
man’s career. He refuted the charge
that the alliance was seeking to
disrupt the democratic party and
claimed to be as sincere a democrat
as any one. fcmiu if Mr. CSciueaia
was nominated he would not only
vote for him, but that if he (Clem
ents) would consent, and the exig
encies required it, he would stump
the district for him, and wanted to
know if that looked like breaking
up the democratic party. At the
close of Mr. Everett’s remarks din
ner was announced. It was plenti
ful in quantity and excellent in
quality.
In the afternoon there was some
more speaking, Mr. Wm. Burge
laid down his platform and urged
the farmers to stand by him, as
they hail gotten him into the race.
Mr. LeConte made a short talk. He
placed himself squarely before the
people. His interests were identical
with the farming class, and while
he would be true to them, he would
endeavor to represeet all classes
impartially. Mr. W. A. Chunn was
loudly called for and responded in
iiis characteristic way. He entei
ained the crowd in a most happy
manner.
Taken altogether, this picnic was
one of the most enjoyable affairs
that has occurred in the county
this year.
