Caktersville’s future is now assured.
A cotton factory is the next thing for
Cartersville.
“Forward!” is the watchword. Croak
ers and laggards to the rear.
The Georgia Farmer's Alliance has
seltTied Macon for the place for its next
meeeting, August 21.
Cartersville ships iron ore to Birming
ham, At: iston and Bessemer,in Alabama,
to Pittsburgh Fa., and other points.
The Chattanooga Times claims to
have it authoritatively that the shops
of the C., 11. & C. Railroad are to be lo
cated in that city. Rome will probably
kick.
Macon, Ga., was visited by a terrible
wtorrn of rain, accompanied by unusual
lightning last, Tuesday evening. The
damage to property in the city is esti

ft is gratifying to note the increase of
wealth in Georgia as indicated by the dif
ferent county digests now going up to
the comptroller general. It seems to be
general in all parts of the Sta te.
The members of the State Democratic
o >mmittee ol New Jersey are unanimous
in thinking that their State will give a
majority of 10,000 for i leveland and
Thurman next, November. We hope
their estimate is correct.
Alas. W. H. Felton has written the
most comprehensible and clear state
ment of the German situation that we
have vet seen. It, was written for the At
lanta Criterion, from which we copy it
into this week's Foukan'ia-Amekicax.
Jcdge W. R. Hamm on n and Mr. Frank
P. Rice are having a red hot campaign
tor the nomination for the State Senate
from the Atlanta (35th) district. They
both claim to be prohibitionists, but
differ upon the mode of accomplishing it.
The Constitution is doing splendid
work for the Democratic ticket, as it has
ever done, and it is not good taste or
good policy tor those papers which here
tofore differed with it on the tariff, to be
constantly after that paper about the
past.
Atlanta goes in for genuine attrac
tions. She has now invited Hon. Jeffer
son Davis, Gov. Lee, of Virginia and
lion. das. (}. Blaine to visit the Chautau
qua. We should like to see Mr. Blaine
and Mr. Davis “shake hands across the
bloody chasm.“
The Marietta Journal has recently
been greatly enlarged and improved in
its already handsome appearance, by a
new dress. It is one of the most pros
perous and popular weeklies in Georgia.
\V<‘ congratulate you, brothers Neal A
Massey, and the goodly city ot Marietta,
too.
At last a man has deserted the Demo
cratic ranks and joined a Harrison and
Morton club. He is a New Worker, and
the reason for his action was that he
had been summoned to appear before the
Democratic Club to account for $250 ot
the club funds which had been entrusted
to his hands.
Congressman McKinley has accepted
an invitation to speak on the tariff at
the Piedmont Chautauqua on the 21st
of August, He will present the protec
tionists' side of the question, and though
a strong Republican, will be given a
cordial reception by Georgians of every
shade of political opinion, who are not
afraid to hear both sides of any question.
The report of the commissioners on
the W. &A. Railroad has been filed with
the Governor. It gives a complete ac
count of the status of the property, and
its estimated value. The increase of
value shown is $750,000. The State's
surplus property in Chattanooga is
worth $750,000, and some $12,000
worth of other property along the line
might be sold without injury to the road.
Th * commission makes no recommenda
tions or suggestions.
Potting this fact anil that together,
the Atlanta Journal intimates that the
invitation of leading Republican orators
to talk tariff in Georgia, may be a part
of the programme to defeat the re-election
of Colquitt to the Lnited States Senate.
There is no ‘cause for alarm along this
line. Colquitt is fully in line with the
popular sentiment, and if this were not
the ea*e, his personal popularity would
render him invulnerable as a candidate.
GOOD WORIW FOR BARTOW-
A letter to the Macon Telegraph, dated
Stilesboro. July 28th, puts in the follow
ing good words forour grand old county.
“Taking our little village as a centre,
with a radius of a few miles, a circle may
be described within which are some of
the finest fanning and mineral lands to
be found on this continent This, from
one who was born and raised in Middle
Georgia, who has traveled extensively
over the fertile valleys of the Shenan
doah, the Tennessee and the Cumberland,
and who has lived on the rich rolling
prairies of Texas, maybe regarded by
some an exaggeration, but to such we
would say, Have you ever visited this
section? Have you ever seen the magnifi
cent crops growing on our uplands and
along our numerous streams? Did you
notice what noble sites for mills and
factories there are along our beautiful
Etowah, and did you examine our hills
and mountains filled almost to bursting
with their rich deposits of iron, mangan
ese, graphite, lime, marble and other
valuable minerals? If so, we hardly
think you will consider us extravagant,
but will exclaim as did a distinguished
gentleman in our presence: “The half
has not been told!"
“Old Bartow has awakened from her
long sleep, refreshed and readyWor busi
ness. You have but ro put your hand
upon her heart (Cartersville) to note the
amount of energy and vital force there
is in her. The country people are begin
ning to take more pride in their county
town, and the greater part, of the trade
from this section which heretofore has
been divided between Rome and Carters
ville now goes principally to the latter
place. There seems to be an atmosphere
of progress pervading this whole Chero
kee section. Our farmers are on ‘rising
ground. ’ They are becoming more in
dependent every year, and will lay by this
fall a large crop of ‘hog and hominy."
“As to political matters, everything is
going on smoothly. There may be
several entries for the Congressional race
from this district. Our mountain colt,
JudsouC., and the thoroughbred, Joel
8., seem to be the favorites. The former
horse has made a fine record, is well
trained, an<J is in good condition.’'
TURN ON THE GAS.
The day is not far distant when Car
tersville’s streets will be lighted with gas.
The city council has closed the contract
with Mr. Blaesdell, representing a Boston
Company for putting in gas works.
As we understand it the contract calls
for fifty lights to begin with, for the
streets. Of course business houses and
many residences will use gas. The city’s
contract calls for $1,350 per year, and as
an inducement for the outlay made by
thecompany, they will have theexclusive
franchise for twenty years, together with
a liberal donation of land.
At first blush, this might seem like a
too liberal inducement; but when the
matter is properly weighed in all its bear
ings, it will be seen that is not a bad bar
gain for the city.
We want to help to develop our re
sources, and build up our city. If we can
interest Eastern capital in this wo*’k, a
long step has been gained. This Boston
company can’t make a big thing out of
their contract without making a big
place of Cartersville. They know that,
millions of Northern capital is awaiting
in the South. They are shrewd enough to
see that much oi it may be brought to
Cartersville, and they are the men to burn
the tide this way.
We consider this a most important
movement. The simple question of gas
is but a small part of the full meaning of
the movement. It also means brick and
mortar and manufacturing enterprises.
It is but a part, of the grand movement
that is to make this heaven-favored loca
tion the leading commercial and manu
facturing city of North Georgia.
Turn on the gas.
The Atlanta Constitution, always a
good friend to Cartersville, on Tuesday
published a most flattering report of our
progress in securing important enter
prises, and we find the following good
words in the editorial columns of that
paper:
“As will be seen by reading an inter
view with Mr. Pattillo, of Cartersville, in
another column, the people of that
thriving place have in prospect two well
equipped furnaces, and in another year
they will be turning the rich ores in Bar
tow county into money instead of send
ing it away to give employment and
money to other people. These industries
will draw others as sure as fate, and time
will prove that the citizens of Carters,
ville have acted wisely. Let them con
tinue. There is no better place to work
up the pig iron from a furnace into
stoves. A stove foundry would pay wel]
there, and a man will be found to start
one very soon—then let the other manu
factures be started. The farmers of
Bartow county can feed twenty-five
thousand mechanics on the best food in
the land, and could get rich at it. They
want a market for their surplus."
In ten years from now it will be im
possible to be out of easy hearing of
railroad trains in North Georgia, North
Alabama, Middle and East Tennessee.
There are nearly enough projected now.
Their growth in the last few years Has
been remarkable. Neither mountains,
hills, rivers, 'or anything form the slight
est obstacle now. It will soon be time
for someone to read Mother Shipton's
prophecy again.
The Augusta Exposition is going to
be one of the biggest and best ever held
in our Slate. Bartow county will lose
a grand opportunity if she fails to lie
liberally represented there, both in the
mineral and agricultural departments.
Let our farmers see to it that Mr. Doug
las Wikle, the commissioner for this
county, is well supplied with samples of
our various and splendid products. Then
there should be a general movement of
the whole county looking to a display
of minerals. This matter should not be
neglected.
The big roll of legal cap, which con
tains the report of the Western and At
lantic railroad is locked ii]) safely away
from the most diligent reporters. It will
soon go to4he printer, and we have been
told that as soon as it comes from his
hands it will be placed for publication
before all the members of the press at
the same moment of actual time. The
report published in the Constitution re
cently was all guess work and cannot be
relied upon, as no one save the commis
sioner has this much wanted paper. It is
believed that it will give some interest
ing data not generally thought 01.
Building and loan associations have
done a good work by bringing together
borrowers and lenders and effecting
loans on a plan beneficial and profitable
to both classes. Why could not this
system of co-operation be put in practice
for the benefit of farmers? Of course
some modifications of the city associa
tion would be necessary but we see no
reason why the main principles of these
associations could not be employed in a
practicable loan association, designed to
meet the wants and adapted to the cir
cumstances of farmers.
Just to give our readers an idea of the
fun our friends up north are having over
the Presidential campaign, we copy the
following from the Boston Globe:
KEEP THE BARREL NEAR BY.
Oli Harrison, Ben Harrison, trot out the
little jug,
And shingle up the cabin, Ben, and fix it
warm and snug.
It was so awful dusty, Ben, at that Chica
go snarl,
That perhaps a jug won't be enough;
you’d better bring a “bar'l."
And don't forget the cabin, Ben, but keep
it somewhere nigh;
You will need it to crawl into in tliechilly
bv and by.
The Congressional race in the lively old
Seventh district has not stirred up much
excitement yet. Cobb, Whitfield, Floyd
and Gordon counties haye acted in the
matter. Cobb went for Phillips, a county
man, and Whitfield went for Shumate, a
county man, while Floyd and Gordon
went for Clements. M urray. (latoosa and
Polk act next Saturday. Walker and
Paulding act the following Tuesday.
Bartow will not act until some time in
September.
We have received the premium list of
the Georgia State fair, to be held at
Macon, opening Octobe" 10th and con
tinuing ten days. The cash premiums
amount to $15,000. Georgians should
always see to it that our State fair is
worthy of the name. We hope Bartow
willl make an effort to capture several
premiums, and it she makes the effort
she will be apt to get there.
The two ice factories of Atlanta can’t
supply the demands of the city. Much
has been carried there from Cincinnati
this season, and yet she has had an ice
famine for a few days. Cartersville and
neighboring towns have to take a little
as they can get it. Why not push that
ice factory for Cartersville? We must
have it.
Now that the furnace and steel plant
are settled, the next thing is a cotton
factory. This is an enterprise that the
live farmers of Bartow should take hold
of—and if they will investigate it and be
come acquainted with the immense advan
tage it would be to them as a class, they
will not delay long in moving for it
The Hon. Bolva Lockwood, woman’s
rights candidate for President, opened
the campaign with a speech at Brooklyn
the other day. The Hon.. Belva will con
tinue to “hold the office of candidate”
after the election.
Mr. Harry S. Edwards has retired
from the editorial position Held by him
on the Macon Evening News, and will
devote himself literature, in which
field he already has considerable reputa
tion. _
Floyd county's primaries last Satur
day resulted in the selection of the fol
lowing gentlemen as Democratic candi
dates for the legislature: J. W. Turner,
J. W. Ewing and J. L. Johnson.
Indiana has the livest set of colored
Democrats in the Union. They are mak
ing a gallant fight in that State for the
National Democratic ticket. They are
sensible.
In the sixth Congressional district
the boys have just turned the office over
to Mr. Blount, and there’s not much use
going through the form of election.
Hon. Harry Jackson, of Atlanta, has
entered the race for the legislature in
Fulton, and will likely “get there.’’
The United States Express Company
will handle the express freight business
on the new C., R. & C. Railroad.
We can't help but think the Chautau
qua managers have made a mistake in
opening the door to prominent politi
cians. It will tend to damage the enter
prise*, as it is not altogether in keeping
with the ( hautauqua idea.
The Anniston Hot Blast says: It is
rumored in Georgia that Evan P. Howell,
of the Atlanta Constitution, will proba
bly oppose Gov. Colquitt for the United
States Senatorship.
It may be so rumored in Alabama, but
the rumor is news to Georgia folks.
