Regiment.
At ttio recent meeting of the For

comrades of his father. The follow
ing official note of the address was
taken by Hie regiment :
On niolion Hie thanks of this body are
returned to Col. Albert S. Johnson for
the address he lias delivered to ns this
day, and request a copy of the same for
publication.
In accordance with the above re
quest, the Courant-Ainerican pub
lishes the speech of Mr. Johnson as
follow s:
Ladies and gentlemen, comrades of
my father, 1 greet you w ith open bunds
aiid a heartfelt welcome.
At the request of the chairman, I
speak to you today. In doing so lam at
once honored and humbled; honored,
for in that invitation I feel and know
you wish to show to me and mine, and
to tlie world, the love and esteem in
which you held him who was your com
mander, who now sleeps beneath the
soil of the land he loved so well; hum
bled that my faltering tongue must fail
to do justice on this occasion to you and
the cause for which you so bravely
fought. My heart swells with gratitude
to each anil every one of you for the
courtesy you have this day shown me,
and so long as memory lasts, to long
s nt 11 I gratefully remember you.
The purposes which called you togeth
er tliis day are indeed noble ones. To
renew your comradeship, to recall pleas
ant memories of the dead, to talk with
each other, your neighbors and your
children, of your struggles and your
trials in defense of your country; to
hand down to generations yet unborn
the living manciples for which you
fought and or which so many of your
comrades died martyrs. Hut X ask you
to remember —■
■■Freedom's batt'e once begun
Bequeath from bleediug sire to son,
Though baffled oft Is ever won.”
Some of the sweetest moments of ray
'llle have been while listening to some
■ old soldier tell n v Ills hopes, his prayers,
.his hardships and his Bufferings. Tears
.would always come unhidden to my
icves, and while I looked upon him, you
.cannot think how proud i was that I
.sprung from the loins of one who was
your comrade. Today my heart beats in
.unison with yours in the thought that it
Is better
“To be a mourner at the grave of right,
Thau to lie king of tile carnival of inglorious
might,”
I have read many of the letters which,
while in the army, my’ fattier wrote to
my mother. In them he often spoke of
the kindness and bravery of his sol
dier.)-some kindness shown to him,
some brave and gallant act done in de
fense of their country. He loved and
he honored you, and iiis sweet spirit is
with you today, bidding you God speed.
From those letters, and the writings
of others, I have learned how well you
loved your mothers, your wives, your
children and your houiee; how well you
loved yonr sunny southland; how well
you loved your proud and native state,
and how, during the dark years of suf
fering, of woe, of sorrow, of death, you
stood forth with the truest and bravest
and noblest in ber defense. Palsied be
my arm and palsied be my tongue should
those lessons I lorgot.
1 also learn that your regiment went
(irst to the mountains of East Tennes
see, then through Kentucky, then to
Vicksburg, where you experienced all
the torturing pangs of thirst and hun
ger, without one single murfnur. And
when exchanged, you went through that
famous campaign from Chattanooga to
Atlanta,then to NasUvill ..thento North
’Carolina where, under honorable terms
of peace, you gave up the struggle.
Eagerly did I read the history that on
each and every battle-ground you show
ed yourselves “the cool, brave soldiers
in the shock of battle,’’ and illustrated
to the world your devotion to your
homes and your country, and your glory
fUid renown hath gone forth to live in all
ages to come us the brightest gems In
jlu? laurel wreath of Fame.
Melbink-s I can almost see before me
now tlm battle flag of your regiment as
it jauntily floated above your lines,
pierced and torn by shot and shell. It
lias been described by one of your com
rades and J use almost his language. I
can see it standing there,fearlessly, sau
cily, like a thing of life, telling from
every one of its voiceless wounds that
brave hands had borne It and brave
hearts upheld it. Proud little banner
flag of the south and her sons- the fair
est mother and the bravest sons the sun
ever shone on. How -iroud am I that he
tells me you never fa te ed in your de
votion to that flag —that you watched
and followed it as it snread its graceful
folds before the dark Background of our
southern skies, and stood beneath its
stars and bars when the work of death
was quickest and hottest.
I have been told that when you enter
ed the buttle of Chickfcsaw bayou your
original regiment numbered more than
seven hundred and fifty guns, and when
you surrendered in North Carolina it
numbered less than sixty. This sad bat
eloquent fact tells far better than words
the character of your service. It tells of
struggles, suffering sacrifices, long,
weary marches, sleepless pickets, shoe
less feet, pallets of mud, deeds of un
matched valor—the unwritten history
■of heroes ami ma’tyrs! It tells how
nobly you did your duty; how bravely
your comrades fell, ami how sweetly
must he their sleep. And today, on the
•earth beneath which your comrades lie,
avc, commemorating their virtues, say
•of each of them;
“l.lifht lie flu? turf which rests upon Ills breast.
■Tfreon be the craws that grows over his grave, j
Fadeless be the laurels that flourish 'round his
tonih.”
I need not in this presence present the
many unanswerable arguments to show
the justness and righteousness of the
cause for which you fought. They are.
written upon the pages of an imperisha
ble history, and shall never fade. Well
do you k .low them and bravely have you
shown your devotion to them.
My country men, my task would be
incomplete, f would be recreant to my
-duty, did I not tell you tiiat you have
not all the praise. Those noble women
of the south, who by their many acts of
kindness, by their many cheering words,
by their devotion to the sick and wound
ed, by their noble aid and comfort to all
/soldiers; by their heroic sacrifices; by
their virtue and their lives, they gave
the gourant-american.
you all the aid in their power to enable
>ou to succeed in that most laudable
undertaking. Through no fault of theirs
nor of yours did you fail, hut over whelm
ing numbers and unlimited wealth gave
the victory to your enemies.
For all this they have our deepest
love. But did they stop there? Have
they vet ceased to show their devotion?
No! But carrying out a thought born
ol the brain of a noble woman of tne
south, a lover of its cause, and treasur
ing the memory of its dead heroes, each
passing spring time finds them seeking
every lovely hillside where sleeps your
brave comrades, and with the fairest,
truest hands on earth, they strew gar
lands of sweet and fragrant flowers upon
their graves, each floral wealth glisten
ing with their tears. Is this all? No!
On each anniversary they meet together
amt have some chosen orator tell them
again the same glorious and true history,
and thus teach it to their children. Aiid
for this they have won, as they deserve,
the applause and homage of the world.
My countrymen, you deserve no great
er praise in war than for your greatness
and nobleness in building up from the
ashes your country anew. You returned
from that struggle broken in fortune,
your homes in ruins, foot-sore and. wea
ry, and though you found your noble
wives and children pinched with hun
ger, your spirit was unbroken, and you
nave shown to the world that true and
brave hearts and willing Imnds can
make their country live and flourish.
You bravely met and fearlessly passed
through the hated, damnable era of re
construction, and once again you “are
in your father’s house,” and once again
you have a voice in your nation’s coun
cil; once again vour proud state stands
lorth the peer of auv state in our union,
with no shadow on her shield;and there
is no brighter star in our country's flag
• han that which glitters there answering
for Georgia—the “Empire state of the
South.” Your patriotism, your fidelity
and your devotion keens it there, and no
partisan, usurping dictator, though he
be speaker of the house of representa
tives, can wrest it from its proud posi
tion.
Speaking for a younger generation,
whose desire is that their country shall
I’ve and be blest, we thank you from the
bottom of our hearts for the noble les
sons your examples have taught us and
we assure you we shall profit by them.
But your work is not yet done, and we
Join our hearts and hands with yours to
make a mighty and successful effort to
give our country a safe deliverance from
t io dangers which now threaten her.
Though the darkness of sectional hate
and the race problem still environs us,
methinksl see beyond the clouds the
dawn of a brighter day—“the approach
of an accomplished redemption, radiant
in the smile of an approving Goa.”
Now, to you, brave defenders of our
country, we bid you a most cordial and
heartfelt welcome. We love and delight
to honor you.
Revolution in the South.
[The Interior.]
During the last decade the South
has been busy at work, drawing on
its vast reserve of raw material, in
the shape of minerals and lumber,
increasing its production of cotton
and tobacco, corn and sugar, and in
a thousand ways adding to its
wealth. The gain during the de
cade in the assessed value of prop
erty lias been $1,306,729,927, while
the growth of manufactures has
been so rapid that at the present
rate of progress the south will soon
be as distinguished for its manufac
turing interests as the north is.
A trade journal which hasrecent
lo compiled some statistics of this
remarkable development, states
that there are now 355 cotton mills
in operation, as against 161 ten
years ago, with 213 cotton seed oil
mills, and that at least $100,000,000
is invested in timber lands and saw
mills. The output of pig iron last
year was 1,566,702 tons, or more
than one-third of that of the whole
country, and while new furnaces are
constantly being built, nearly 20,-
000,000 tons of coal were mined.
Companies, with large capitals, are
rapidly being formed for the devel
opment of iron and coal mines, and
iron is now produced at less cost in
Alabama, and coal is cheaper there
and in the adjacent states, titan in
any other part of the country, Over
20,000 miles of railway have been
built since 1830, and in nine months
of last year 250 railway companies
were organized in the south, ami
development on this line has appar
ently only begun. Foreign com
merce has increased to $590,540,296,
and banking capital to $76,454,510,
while over 7,00,000 bales of cotton
were sold last year, and 652,291,000
bushels of oats, wheat and corn
were raised.
Beside this, the material wealth
of the states has been largely in
creased by fruit and vegetable gard
ening, many large plantations hav
ing been converted into “truck
farms” for the supply of northern
markets, and by the development
of the phosphate and other indm
tries. The population of the south
has also greatly increased; a recent
report, based upon estimates made
by the governors and comptrollers
ofthe twelve strictly southern
states, showing their population to
be 16,489,150, a growth in ten years
of over thirty-three per cent.
This is probably as great a gain
as in the remainder of the states,
for although the latter have receiv
ed the bulk of the foreign immigra
tion, the inequality has been bal
anced in large part by the migra
tion from north to south, by the
influx of German farmers into
Texas, and thatoi European miners
and artisans into the mining and
manufacturing districts of the
south. Indications are that the rate
of increase has not been greatly
different in the two sections, and
that the south has kept pace in
growth with the rest of the coun
try, despite the fact that the immi
gration of the present decade has
equaled that of the two preceding it.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28. 18!M>.
. ABOARD OF TRADE.
l
To be Organized by Our Business
Men to Night.
Our Merchant.# Alive to the Importance of
O loti—Thirty-FI ve Have
Agreed to Buy Cotton.
The merchants of Oartersville
are now knuckling down to busi
ness. They are looking strictly
after the commercial Interests of
the city, as they have never before.
On Thursday night of each week
they hold meetings for the purpose
of discussing affairs pertaining to
trade, such as freight rates, ways
and means of building up our cot
ton market and increasing and ex
tending tlie trade of the town.
Commencing with the single pur
pose of enlarging our cotton re
ceipts they have found these meet
ings beneficial in the interchang
ing of views on other matters. So
many different tilings having come
up for consideration it is thought
advisable to organize the merchants
into a hoard of trade.
This will be done to-night.
The merchants will meet to
gether at the council chamber this
evening at 7:30 o’clock for the pur
pose of discussing this and other
questions. No merchant, who has
the interest of the town at heart,
will fail to lie present.
No one who lias attended the
meetings of the merchants can fail
to note the enthusiastic interest
that is- being taken by each and
every one. These meetings are a
complete revelation to those who
have considered our people incapa
ble of uniting for a single purpose.
It is, indeed, refreshing to see all
pulling together for a common
cause.
The meeting held last Thursday
night was quite a large and enthu
siastic one, notwithstanding the
elements were against it. Mr. 11.
11. Hall was called to the chair and
Jesse Willingham was requested to
act as secretary.
Tiie report of the committee ap
pointed at the previous meeting for
the purpose of obtaining signatures,
merchants’ agreeing to buy cotton
was received and adopted. There
were about thirty-five signatures to
the agreement, which is as follows:
The undersigned merchants and trad
ing men ofUartersville pledge ou •selves
to support any movement that will
make < artersviTle a better cotton mar
ket and secure larger receipts; that we
will, if necessary, go into the market
and buy cotton, ana earnestly encour
age all'ett'orts to accomplish the desired
objects.
A general discussion of the mat
ter followed. It is quite safe to
say that every merchant of impor
tance in the town will buy cotton.
It was moved and seconded tiiat
a committee he appointed to obtain
information concerning the organi
zation of a board of trade, to report
to the next meeting. Carried.
Messrs. Matthews, Rowan and
Heyward were appointed on the
committee.
The meeting then adjourned.
COMMUNICATIONS.
A Word of Warning to Democrats.
Editors Courant-American—The
alliance party, state and national,
has issued a circular, or manifesto,
which declares its requirement for
membership or association with the
order certain classes or professions
are unworthy of membership and
they claim the liberty to black ball
any man they object, to—even a
single black ball will postpone an
entrance into the order. This is
foreign to democratic usages or poli
cy, which opens the door to all natu
ralized or native born citizens who
have not committed a felony or
been legally proscribed.
I hold in my hand a list of the
classes or persons who cannot enter
under any circumstances. Sjch
persons are deemed unfit, unsafe —
enemies to the peace and prosperity
of the county and unfit to be voted
for or to hold office. All men who
join the alliance and take the oath
thus declare. Hon, Martin V. Cal
vin, the chairman of their judicial
committee, signs the paper, and you
will find it in the Atlanta journal
of May 2nd, 1890. This is alliance
law:
No banker or bank cashier, but
the owner of bank stock can enter;
no owner of a warehouse or opera
tor of a warehouse on his own ac
count; no agent for cotton seed oil
mills; no merchant “engaged in buy
ing and selling goods for pecuniary
gain;” no practicing attorney is eli
gible; no cotton buyer or salesman;
no man who sells goods on commis
sion, or buys and sells goods’on his
own account, can enter. (Men can
buy for farm hands but it is a crime
to buy for the public). No allliance
man clerk in a store or mercantile
house; no man who buys or sells
sewing machines; no railroad hand,
track hand, conductor, brakemau
or train hand can enter. Only
county ministers of the gospel can
enter, and county doctors. To preach
in a city church or attend a town
patient is sufficient to close the
door.
What are the people going to do
about this matter ? If you are un-
lit, unsafe, unworthy to join in the
selection of those who are to rule
you and make laws to govern you,
because you follow those professions
to make an honest living, are you
willing to walk up to the polls and
confess yourselves their slaves and
their serfs? Who put these mas
ters over you and your business ?
What claim has Mr. Cor put to man
age your money and “broker” your
business, that you are thus pro
nounced unfit and unsafe and un
worthy to hold office* or to confer
witli those who propose to run the
government, state anti national ?
Citizens of Bartow county, preserve
your self-respect! Watch the men
who would capture the democratic
party, calling themselves the only
lit men to hold the offices. Mr. Liv
ingston will go to congress, uml Mr.
Everett will go to congress under
the brazen assumption that you who
are ttius proscribed are unlit to hold
office, and unsafe to lie consulted!
When you go to the polls and vote
for men who thus pronounce you
unfit and unsafe and enemies to
your country’s good, you simply
place the president and vice-presi
dent of a star chamber despotism
over your business and over the
destinies of your children. These
men joined the alliance to go to
congress. They went tq the head
of the order by denouncing you in
secret and in public. Are you will
ing to barter your good name, your
honest business, your future, to a
set of tricksters that have made
such a declaration against you?
Remember who put Corput at the
head of the finance bureau and who
keeps him in their embrace, and
then hear tiiat crowd pronounce
honest merchants as unworthy of
support. Watcß aid Wait.
A Few Word* to Bu*ine*H Men.
Editors Gou rant-American—l re
gret to see in your paper of last
week a call fora county convention
for the purpose of electing delegates
to attend the Rome convention. I
had hoped tiiat Cartersqille would
at least stand aside and lfct the dis
affected politicians of Rome and the
farmers’ alliance have their little
fight out. it can do Cartersville no
good to engage in a warfare against
the nominee of the democratic par
ty for congress, as Mr. Everett ist.s
certain to lie as tiie convention at
Calhoun will be in session. From
the slim number of signatures of
business men that are attached to
the call, I am certainly of the opii -
ion tiiat others take the same view
as I do. I have tv Iked with several
merchants, personal friends of I)r.
Felton, and who have always sup
ported him, and they think the pres
ent movement uncalled for and ill
advised. They feel friendly to the
farmers’ alliance,and, although they
might have voted against their can
didate for congress in the regular
way, they do not sanction the hold
ing of a convention of bolters.
Mr. Editor, to show what injury
it might be to the towns, allow me
to quote a few lines from tiie Tun
nel Hill Enterprise, a copy of which
is now before me. The article in
question only alludes to Rome, but
it will apply with equal force to
Cartersville i
TUe citizens of Home had better go
slow in this matter of bringing out anew
candidate for congress. Mr. Everett is
the choice of tho people and if a man
leaves the party and supports an Inde
pendoMt, ho is no more a democrat titan
ltoed, and should be looked upon as a
turn.eoatby all houest men.
Go slow, ye Homans! He eantious of
your actions against the farmers, do
not force lliym to take desperate means
of retaliation. For any aciion you take
opposition to the wishes of the farmers
in litis matter, will bring to Home the
loss of thousands of dollars this fail in
the loss of cotton, it will be a repeti
tion, perhapa, of the fall of lass. The
day has come that the farmers are to
have a voice In the government of which
they are the main supporters.
Now again, listen to tho warning while
it is yet tiinoi wait not until you feel the
arms of a boycott tightning around the
throat of your commerce.
If you continue tills, and force this
boycott upon yourselves, you will find
that your petition to the farmers will
avail'naught, and the name (the cotton
market of North Georgia) will know
Koine no more.
I tell you, citizens of Home, the farm
ers of this countiy are organized as
never before, and il they are com pel led
to establish this boycott, Home will feel
its effects for years to eonte.
If Home persists in Its course there
will be a meeting of the county alliances
of this district and the boycott will lie
ordered. Ho again, go slow!
Now I am confident tho bus!nett
men of Cartersville do not wicli to
be placed in the same predicament,
especially as the fight lias already
been fairly fought and won. This
call is made by politicians, and not
business men, and I hope the latter
will have nothing to do with it.
Business Man.
A Few Words From Mr. Fite.
