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 mated at SIO,OOO. niiiiißiiiiini rnriii 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. gOYAI /royal Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesoineness.
