Cartersville Wei and Cartersville
Dry.
A ComplPtfl Answer to tli© Misrepresen
tations of a Kansas Newspaper-
More Food for Thought.
From the Salma, Kan., Evening
News of July 17, we copy the fol
lowing; , . .
“The Con rant,-American, of Cartors
villo, Uti., tJit* home of Sam Joireis, an
nounces that ‘census figure's are known
to he no less than 3,150, and probably
maV be fully ...Mill.’ Kasily 8.100. Main
Jones himself stands for ton meu.”
In the above, which is taken from flic
Kansas City Star of July If), Is much
lbud for sober thinking.
Twenty years ago we knew the little
city of Cartersville. We knew Sam
Jones, who was.comparatively a poor
loan, somewhat given to drink, and a
drayman of thetown. Cartersvillethen
was the pride of North Ueorgia. The
hum of machinery could he heard fro ill
early morn to (lew 3' eve. Cartersville
at that time numbered nearly 4,30050u15.
She was the manufacturing w onder of
the mountains. Cartersville was the
ri val of Chattanooga, Tenu. She footed
w ith comics •ensjpn upon her near neigh
bar, the city of Koine, named so for her
seven hills, atid proudly aspired to a
ffitsully rivalry with tlie famed Allantu.
in the early seventiesOurtersvilfe was
the home of the moousiiiner of the
mountains sixty and a hundred miles
away. Cartersville was a city of indus
try, manufacture ami saloons. Oarters
villo is located in tlie richest agricultu
ral and mining region of the south.
Within five miles of tier gates are the
onlv pure manganese mines in the
Vrifted States, Baryta and paint and
silver ores are abundant. Every moun
tain and vylley is watered by never
drying streams. See her as she, Was
then and visit’ her to-day.
Now, Cartersville is a city of prohibi
tion, her-1,000 mechanics are gone. Her
plan tug mills are closed. Har car fac
tory lias gone to other climes. Her
foundry and machine shops are no
“more. * The sound of the hammer is
heard only in the topairing of an oat
house. Her citizens spent hard cash
for a boom three years ago hut to no
purpose.
Sam Jones is no ’finger a drat man,
hut a groat preacher of prohibition and
reform, lie is.rich, llis neighbors,are
poor. Food for thought? Vetw and
enough to feed the Kansas bruin tm, un
til there is a Change in Salim* and all
Kansas eities.
We publish the above for the
amusement of uu citizens, and test
some of our friends abroad should
lie deceived by it we add a few
cigmnents. Any one acquainted
With the history of Cartersville for
the last twenty years will testify
that all the above article has to say
about her natural advantages is
true, and that everything that it
says about the effect of prohibition
is false. First, as to population,
Cartersville lias to-day more peoplq
than,she ever had before.' In 1870
we laid a population of 2,2:17, anil
if our friend found 4,500 souls herq
lie must have been in a condition
to see double, or else lie counted
two souls to each inhabitant. Front
1870 to 1880 when “Cartersville was
the rival of Chattanooga and At
lanta” and “was the manufacturing
wonder of the mountains,” and
when “the hum of machinery could
he heard from early morn to dewy
eve,” there were from ten to twenty
saloons here, and her population
steadily decreased from 2,237 to
2,008. During that period her car
factory, planing mill and foundry
bursted up, and laborers got 50
cents a day for work. Churches,
schools, hotels and business of every
sort languished, except for a short
time. Nothing prospered but sar
hums and criminal courts. Ladiei
would very rarely venture on the
streets pn Saturday, For that day was
consecrated to drunkenness and
profanity. In 1880 another car fac
tory was established here, but it
was owned and controlled by out
side parties. In August, 1883, it
was moved to Anniston, Ala., and
if whisky had anything to do with
its removal, the argument is on the
side of prohibition, for it was mov
ed from a wet town to a dry one.
There were nine barrooms here at
tlie time of its removal, and they
continued to flouri h for seventeen
months afterwards.
On the first day of January, 1885,
prohibition went into effect and at
that time everything was fiat, but
from that day everything has been
on the rise.
J. 0. Wofford, depot agent, testi
fies that there lias been a very large
increase of freight during the last
five years, and Postmaster Aker
man'shows that in 1884 the receipts
of the postottice were s2,(Mil and in
18811 they were iff,o2B, and this, not
withstanding the fact that a large
number of small offices have in the*
last few years been established in
this vicinity, which takes away
business from this office.
W. H. Howard, banker, says: “I
am doing more business now than
I ever did. 1 lend more money for
business purposes. 1 have more
money deposited and do a bigger
business in every way. I handle
fifty dollars now where I handled
one when whisky was sold here.
One of the best evidences of the
good effect of prohibition is seen in
the fact that there are a great many
poor people who make deposits
with me. There are even a number
of negroes who regularly deposit
their earnings here to draw it out a
few dollars at a time as they need
it, a tiling that was never heard of
in whisky times.”
It nmy be remarked lieke tlmt
THE GOURANT-AMERIGAN.
Mr. Howard’s increase of business |
continues in spite of tlie fact tbht j
be now lias a strong rival in Hie I
National bank, which was estate |
lished here a year age and whose
first year’s business has been a most j
gratifying success. A visit to a j
number of 1 the stores reveals the
fact that at least nine-tenths of our |
merchants are prohibitionists and
they assert that wherever prohibi
tion has affected their business at
all it has bene fitted it. When we
had bar rooms business failures
were frequent, but we have not had
ja failure since they were voted out.
if our Kansas friend wants more
“food for sober thought” we think
he might! find it by taking a turn
through oUr town and looking into
the places where whisky was once
Isold and observing the business
carried on in them now. He dould
find seven of them tilled with fami
ly groceries and daily men who
formerly worse than wasted their
money for whisky, while their
wives and children suffered for food,
now carry home with them, instead
of a jug, flour, meat, sugar, coffee,
and the various other comforts and
necessaries of life. Two or three
of these places are now occupied
by dry goods, two by hardware
stores aixl five others are occupied
by a baker, a butcher, a carriage
irtaker, cabinet workmen and drug
gists.
When whisky was sold here rents
were low, and there were many
vacant houses. Since prohibition
went into effect fifty-four new
dwellings for white people alone
have been erected and there is not
a house for rent in town and there
are several handsome residence
being built at this moment. Since
prohibition went into efl’ect four
largb handsome brick business
houses have been built. A national
bank has been established, a pub
lic school system lias been inau
gurated and run successfully for a
year and now that its value has
been tested, the magnificent brick
building commenced for a female
college, and on which $12,006 has
been spent, has been purchased by
tlie town for a public school build
ing and the money is on hand to
complete it. When whisky was
sold here our unfortunate friends
staggered along our streets in the
dim light of the kerosene lamp.
Now a splendid gas plant furnishes
light from “dewy eve to early
morn.” In these latter and mores
prosperous days water works have
also been established at a cost of
SOO,OOO.
Since prohibition went into
etfecttlie Methodist church, which
had stood unfinished for years was
completed. Last year several hun
dred dollars spynt beautifying
it and an elegant parsonage was
built and equipped at a cost of over;
three thousand dollars. The Epis-j
copalians have adorned % their
church and have grown in strength
and numbers. The Baptists im
proved their church, and have pur
chased a central lot on which they
contemplate building a handsome
church. The Presbyterians have
gained fifty per cent, in the last
five years and have more than
doubled in strength and efficiency
and are now remodeling their
church at a cost of $4,000. Our col
ored friends, up on the hill, boast of
an aggregate church membership of
eight hundred and are prospering,
and there are among them many
strong advocates of prohibition.
On tlie spot where the carjjietory
stortd now stands a flourishing
ochre mill aud hard by it an ice
factory which runs day and night
and yet can’t fill its orders. Near
by is another ochre mill and an oil
refinery, none of which were here
when we had whisky. And anew
foundry and planing mills have
Come in to take the place of those
that failed in the days of saloons.
When we look at the tax books
of Cartersville we find another evi
dence of her prosperity. In 1885
her totaltaxable property, real and
personal, was $708,043, wdiile now
it is $1,401,980, and this in
crease is Jnot due to arbitrary
assessment but is an actual increase
of value. There Is not one man in
ten Who would sell his real estate
at what it has been assessed. Meet
ing Solicitor A. \V. Fite, we asked
about the effect of prohibition upon
crime. He replied:
“There are only two counties in
my circuit where whiskey is legal
ly sold, viz: Gordon and Dade, and
in them criminal prosecutions are
from 50 to 100 per cent, more numer
ous than in dry counties.”
Ex-Holicitor J. W. Harris, Jr.,
says: “1 was solicitor when prohi
biton went into effect and the de
crease of crime in all the dry coun
ties was very marked. Prohibition
cuts off the income of the solicitor
at least one-half.”
Everybody testifies to the gotxl
effects of prohibition and everything
about us bears evidence of prosper
ity. As to her 1,000 mechanics
being gone, that’s as big a one as
theothers. Cartersvillecomesnear
er having a thousand mechanics to
day than she ever did before, and
they receive better wages. There
are more people at work here, and
more making money and more fam
ilies happy and prosperous through
out Bartow county than there evf r
were before. Of course we do not
(’AItTKUSVIU.K, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1800.
ilaim that prohibition has been the
solo ciMise-of ail this prosperity for
cur natural advantages are such
that wq are bound to grow—whis
ky or no whisky. But we do
claim that protobitiqu has brought
happiness ami peace and joy to
many a home from which whisky
pad driven them. That many a
it child, both white and black,
throughout our county is indebted
to prohibition for its bread ami meat
and clothing and education. That
murders and other crimes have
beep prevented. That our wives
and daughters have been protected
and morals generally improved,
and all tliis without injuring the
business of our towu one particle.
Whether we owe our prosperity to
prohibition or not, there are two
things certaiu—r-une is that sober
Uartersviile and prosperous Carters
jvilFe started out hand in hand, and
the other is that tlie people of Car
tersvilie are thoroughly satisfied
with it and intend to keep it.
The closing paragraph of the
above quoted article insinuates that
iSain Jones is getting rich by advo
cating what makes others poor.
Well, we will let Sam Jones take
care of himself, and we venture
the prediction that if he should
ever visit Saliim, Kan,, he will make
a few remarks which will be pub
lished in the other papers of the
town, but Which will not appear, jn
tlie Evening News. Ami we may
add, if Ham Jonss is getting rich
preaching temperance, his neigh
bors are getting rich practicing it.
Now, in conclusion, if any one
from a distance wants toknow how
Cartersville has prospered under
prohibition, let him write to any of
our prominent citizens, to ex-Con*
gressman \V. 11. Felton or to “Hill
Arp” or Sam Jones or to the Judge
of our City Court or tlie Clerk of
Court or Sheriff or Ordinary or to
tiie Mayor or to the preachers, mer
chants, lawyers or workmen, and tlie
reply will be that almost everybody
admits tlie good moral and social
effects, and the property owners
wlio have the most at stake finan
cially, are practically unanimous
for prohibition.
SOMETHING GOOD AHEAD.
Ail Effort to Secure Four Flue Enter
tainments.
We are glad to announce that a
movement is on foot to provide
some rare entertainments for our
people this tall and winter.
Rev. J. S. llillhouse and Dr. M. M.
Puckett have made a provisional
contract with the Southern Lyceum
Bureau for tour fine lectures and
one grand musical entertainment.
The music to be furnished by tlie
Boston Quintette club, and tlie lec
tures by the world renowned “Bob”
Burdette; the prince of orators, Col.
L. F. Copeland, of Pennsylvania;
the peerless humorist, John DeWitt
Miller, and, perhaps, the most popu
lar of all, George It. Wendling.
The first of these entertainments
will probably be given in October,
the others following at intervals of
about a month. Season tickets will
be sold at $2.00, entitling the bolder
to attend five first-class entertain
ments. The gentlemen who are en
gaged in getting up the course are
allowed a month to see if the pet -
pie of Cartersville and vicinity will
support such an undertaking. The
course will cost about $475, and it
is thought that if 200 tickets can be
sold before hand at $2.00 each the
door receipts will pay the balance
and leave a nice sum, which will be
appropriated to some good cause.
No one here is to make any money
out of it. Let all our public-spirited
citizens take hold now and make it
a success. Talk it up, and be regdy
to subscribe for one or more tickets
whenever the paper is presented to
you.
If 200 tickets cannot be sold in
thirty days the matter will be
dropped.
“Etowah Heights.”
This beautiful place, which is now
becoming so well known as a sum
mer resffrt, is situated six miles
from Cattersville, on the Etowah
river. The winding stream, witli
the extended range of mountains
beyond, form a beautiful view for
for the lovers of nature. The health
fulness of the locality, good water,
its accessibility (being on the line
of the East and West railroad), and
last, hut not least, the genuine h os
pitality and kind attention of the
owners, ail combine to mace the
place a most attractive one. The
season has opened most propitious
ly. Among the guests are: Mr.
John Schley and family, of Savan
nah; Col. Ball, superintendent of
the East and West railroad, Mrs.
Ball, Miss Ball, and Miss Mary
Ball, of Montgomery, Ale; Miss
Cooper, of Atlanta; Marcellus Sto
vall, jr., of Augusta; Mr. John Met
calf, a fid family, of Montgomery,,
Ala. Applications for board come
in daily. A party of young people
from Montgomery are expected
next week, which will give addi
tional life to the place.

[Correspondence* lou raut- American.]
Cincinnati, seam by gaslight, is
not very prepossessing. The crowd
ed streets, dim lights, the bevy of
street cars at every corner and the
tall stone buildings—ail this, togeth
er with the insufferably hot weather
which I found in the city, made me
fee! very uncomfortable when 1 left
the depot and started to my board
ing house.
I might tell you of my trip
through Tennessee and Kentucky,
of the beautiful mountain Scenery
in northern Tennessee, of the scene
from high bridge, of the rolling
meadows, green lanes, level white
roads, gray stone fences, large fields
of corn and grain, and, in short, I
might attempt a description of tin*
beautiful “blue grass region,” hut
time and space forbid and 1 must
hasten to tell you of Cincinnati
and Cleveland.
The Emery House, at which we
stopped in Cincinnati, is a large,
pleasant house, owned by tl*e Emery
Brothers. These brothers own the
block tlie building is on and permit
no saloons in the block. In a city
where there is so much drinking as
in Cincinnati this is very unusual
and of course makes the Emery
House a very nice place for ladies.
On the morning of the lTth, after
getting tickets and trunks checked
to Niagara, we all took a street car
and, after many turnings and jolt
ings, we finally e§me to the foot of
the incline, There are a grCat
many hills around the city and
these incline railways run to the
tops. VVlieu we stopped at the foot
of the incline I thought, of course,
the horses would be unhitched and
the car go up alone; but uo, the
tiorses went right oil just as though
they were going to pull the ear up,
and when they were safely oil tin*
foot of the incline and had stopped,
the car was fastened down and tl*e
part of the flooring with the car on
it moved off, and up we went. We
had a splendid view of the city from
tlie top of the incline. To the left
and right are more hills, below is
tlie city, and In the distance we
could see tlto edge of it. The top
of tlie hill which we run on is called
Eden Bark, and after passing
through the business and residence
part of tlie suburb and coming to
what is really the park, I decided
that it well deserved its name,
“Eden,” Just imagine large hills
intefsjiersed with deep and quiet
valleys (all covered with beautiful
blue grass) lovely shade trees, with
walks and drives, rustic bridges,
w ith here aud there beds of scarlet I
and pink geranium, and you have a
general picture of the park. On
tlie summit of one of* the hills
stands a large, almost square, gray
stone building. This, the “Art Mu
seum,” was our destination. The
car stops right in front of the build
ing, and after getting off the cars
and ascending a terrace, w f e stopped
to look around. Right in front of
the museum, on another hill, there
is a lovely dwelling. From this
house the hill slopes gradattlly to at
deep ravine, from which rises the
hill the museum is on. Away to
the right is the city, to the lefc
stretches the park, and as you stand
there and gaze upon the scene you
feel at peace with all men. But
the most delightful part will come
when you enter the museum. After
walking up the brown stone steps
and entering the wide door, you ap
preciate the delightful coolness of
the place, for outside it is swelter
ingly hot. For twenty-five cents
admission fee, and the same for
catalogues, you enter and are pre
pared t 6 enjoy all the beauties. The
first thing you see is a life-size
statue of “Tlie Dying Gaul;” to the
left —butle r us take a general view.
The room is almost square, at the
back of which a flight of brown
marble stairs, with white pillars
and posts lead to the rooms where
the paintings are. At the left side
is a large open door through w hich
you can sett the gleam of the white
statutes in the room beyond. The
floor is white marble and this
causes the brown marble statutes
to appear more beautiful. It would
be impossible to tell of all the beau
tiful things, hut of all the lovely
statues, the two that I likd best
were a bronze bust of that grandest
of all grand men, Bethoven, and a
white marble bust of Longfellow.
Looking at the bust of Bethoven,
one can see in the stern faee, over
hanging brows and compressed lips,
the spirit which caused him to say,
that “though he would be lonely he
would never let his misfortune over
come him—he would be great in
spite of it.” Another fine marble
bust was of Andrew Jackson. The
strange character of the man was
clearly show n in the marble face.
But walking further down theroom,
one stops suddenly and involunta
rily draw s a deep breath as the eye
rests upon the life-size, statue of
“Eve Disconsolate.”- To me tlie
Rattle seemed perfect. One could
not fail to see the beauty in every
ine. The face, exqujsitely beauti
ul, shows deep sorrow in every
ine. One hand is pressed against
ler breast, tlie other hands in front.
Hie stands with her weight on her
eft foot and seems to lie slowly aii
r’anclng. Hhe seems almost human,
ind is marvelously lovely. This
itutue is by an American sculptor,
Hiram Bowers. Bassiug through
i room wherp there were old nr
nors, made in 1450, and other curi
ms things, we passed up stairs
ivhere the paintings were.
There are some very old paint
ngs here “Bt. Cecilia,” by Tinto
•etti, a portrait of Titian, by him
self, uml a picture of Rembrandt
and uis wife, by Rembrandt, and
Inany others that I have not space
o mention. The portrait ot Titian
s small, about a foot square. The
ace is charming. A broad fore
lead, beautifully arched brows,dark
■yes and a flowing yellow beard.
I’lie pieture of Rembrandt and his
w ife is dark and rieh, as indeed all
• lie old pictures aro. Rembrandt is
heated on a tlark chair aud his wife,
(dressed in a green silk, is seated in
liis lap. She is looking over her
shoulder and in her right hand holds
jit glass of wine, and they are both
laughing. Rembrandt was very
fond of painting his wife, and this
picture is said to he the best of all
liis pictures of her.
As we passed through a door into
another room, the sunlight fell on a
large picture w hich was so beauti
ful that it startled me. “Margaret
in Brison” sits despairing and re
morseful in chains on a stone couch.
The rosary has fallen to the floor,
and iu her right baud she holds an
old bible. Her face is turned up,
anti as you gaze you can’t help long
ing to comfort her. This is by
Johann Grund, and is the prison
scene tn ( loot he’s Faust.
Just turn now and look on the
Mippostte wall. A tired soldier sits
in the gathering gloom at the door
of his tent. A drum, aimed on the
head, is drawn to his side. With
one hand he holds a flickering can
dle while with the other he holds a
pen and Is wearily though lovingly
tracing a few lines to the home
folks, liis head has drooped a little
ansj fatigue is depicted In every Uue
of face ami figure. In the back
ground thick clouds are obscuring
tiie sky, bright from sunset. To tlie
right two soldiers are standing iu
earnest conversation near a camp
fire ami over alt is the liglrt of the
dying day, and tlrfs, “The Evening
After the Battle,'’ is my favorite of
all I saw.
After seeing all the beauties in
the museum we again took the cars
and after a delightful ride over Wal
nut Hill, we came hack to Foun
tain square and went to the hotel,
got supper and went to tlie depot.
We left Cincinnati at 9:30, and
after a pleasant and comfortable
night on the sleeper we arrived In
Cleveland at seven the next morn
ing. At my earliest opportunity, I
will write about Cleveland and
Lake Erie. 8. M. A.

Asa rule, a person who has a good ap
petite has good health. But how many

and sit down to meals only as an un
pleasant duty. Nature’s antidotes for
this condition are so happily combined
in Hood's Sarsaparilla that it soon re
stores good digestion, creates an appe
tite and renovates and vitalizes the
blood so that the beneficial effect of good
food is imparted to the whole body.
Truly hunger is the best sauce, and
