VOL. X. THEN AND NOW. 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.

[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. THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. Next Saturday the Day to Decide the Fate of Candidates. Next Saturday the democratic primary for tiie nomination of two candidates for tlie legislature and the selection of delegates to a coun ty convention to elect delegates to the gubernatorial convention will be held iu tlie different militia dis tricts. There are four candidates for the legislature, viz: Win. L. LeCoute, W. T. Burge, J. J. Conner and W. I. Heyward.
