BILL ARP AND THE BOOM.
He Is in the Midst of One of Them-
Property Fast Advancing,
But tin* Tax Asmsnmh- lijih His Oflf-Kye on it
Real Estate Men Buying Options—
The Ball Started at hast.
Atlanta Constitution.
It is pretty hot around these parts, but
we are fixing to make it hotter. The fur
nace work has begun. We are going to
cook iron and then make it into stoves
to cook bread and meat and make it into
steel rails for our railroads to haul us
something to cook. It takes a power of
hot work to keep these poor carcasses of
ours in good condition. 1 would have
been a rich man but for this everlasting
cooking business that never stops nor
tires. But we are all built that way, and
so the business goes on.
The furnace ball opened yesterday, and
Dr. Pratt and Mr. Martin are busy look
ing over the ground and directing the
surveying and Leveling and platting and
locating. Very soon the grading will be
gin, and there will be plenty of work for
the toilers. The white man will plan and
the negro will execute. He will shovel
and dig and lift and drive the steel and
mine the ore and lay bare his brawny
arms ami sweat and toil, and crack bis
jokes and sing his song and eat his.hum
ble fare and enjoy his rest and never com
plain.
It is most astonishing how much life
and vigor these manufacturing indus
tries instill into a community. Even the
prospect of them is awakening and stim
ulating and everybody moves around
with a livelier step and a brighter coun
tenance. “Major,” said an old lady
friend to me, “do'you think the boom
has come sure enough?” “Oh, yes,” said
I, “there is a right smart boom down
town.” “And can I get more tor my
property?” “Oh, yes,” said I, “good
property like yours is in demand, do you
want to sell?” “Bless your soul, no I
don’t want to sell. I expect to live and
die right here, but I just wanted to feel
like my property was worth more than it
was.”
“Oh, yes,” said I, “the tax assessors
will convince you of that. I expect they
will nearly double your taxes for the
next year.” So there is no pleasure with
out its pain.
The real estate men are circulating
pretty lively now trying to get options.
That is anew word to the children and
so I had to explain and tell them that if
I was willing to sell my home for five
thousand dollars, I would say to one oi
the real estate agents: “If you sell my
place within ten days you may have all
you get over five thousand dollars.” So
then he would have an option for ten
days. These real estate men are all so
anxious to get hold of property to sell
for other people that they pay some
thing for these options. One asked Air.
AVhite what lie would take for his lot and
workshop, and he said he would take
eight hundred dollars. “What will you
take for your option?” said the agent.
“Twenty-five dollars,” said Mr. White.
“For how long?” said the agent. “Until
sundown,” said Mr. White, as he ham
mered away on a bureau. Our people
won’t givelong options now for property
is rising pretty fast. It is now up to just
about its prime cost. Two years ago a
storehouse that it cost two thousand
dollars to build, could have been bought
for fiftten hundred with the lot thrown
in. That same storehouse and lot will
bring twenty-five hundred now. ’ But
property can’t be boomed beyond its
lair value in Cartersville. There is not a
town in Georgia that has such beautiful
suburbs for improvement. Situated on
a high plateau with gently rolling sur
face and good drainage and beautiful
views of the surrounding mountains and
fast flowing streams on every side, she
offers inviting homes and good business
prospects to those wjio are seeking
homes, no matter whether they come
from the North or from the South.
The Pratt Henderson company that
have just located their steel works and
manganese works here are delighted with
their selection. Mr. Martin said to me
yesterday: “You have the loveliest and
most attractive country I have ever
seen.” That company made a thorough
inspection of all * inviting localities
around us, from Sheffield to Birmingham,
and chose Cartersville, and will invest
$150,000 here at once. Within three
months farming lands adjacent to the
town have risen from S4O to SIOO an
acre, as was proven by a guardian’s sale
at public outcry last Tuesday. There
will be a demand for the products of
these lands, and the last crop of cotton
is now upon them that will ever be seen.
These mechanics and laborers will want
something to eat. There will be more
consumers than producers. Mr. Camp,
who farms near Rome, planted ten acres
in sweet potatoes last year and netted
eight hundred dollars profit. What en
couragement is there to a hen to lay eggs
at ten cents a dozen? Cobe says she is
too much ashamed to cackle, and just
drops it and goes along. Now, we ex
pect to see before long a hundred teams
hauling iron ore and manganese to our
furnaces, and hundreds more digging
and mining and working in the furnaces,
and they and th* ir families will be hungry
three times a day, and want watermelons
or peaches or apples between meals. The
stove factory is to follow the furnace,
and we are going to make horse shoes,
and nails, and axes, and stone hammers,
and most anything else that can be
made out of iron.
Evan Howell says the finest turnout
he saw at Long Branch last summer was
carrying a man he supposed was Van
derbilt, or Astor, or an English lord or a
French count, and so he got out of the
way quick and took off his hat as the
fellow' passed, and then he found out he
was a Connecticut chap, w r ho had made a
fortune making hairpins. I believe I will
make some hairpins or fish hooks or car
pet tacks or buckles or buttons or some
thing. They say a man can make more
money out of little things than big ones.
I think that I could keep busy making
such things for my own family. Good
gracious! If I was a merchant what a
splendid trade I would have from one
family.
We have contracted for waterworks
and gas works, and the next thing will
be an ice factory and a street railroad,
and we are just obliged to have a rail
road to Gainesville with a branch going
up to Coosawattee. One industry calls
for another and all of them will help the
farmers. They need help. It looks like
everything gets help but farming. I see
that those everlasting rascals up North
have formed a bagging trust to put up
the price three cents a pound, and that
w ill take a million and a half more out of
the farmers’ pockets. Most every busi
ness has a trust, a pool, a combination
to speculate upon the people, but the
farmers can’t get trusted at all, unless
they mortgage their crops and pay about
fifty per cent, for advances. The mer
chant advances forwards but the poor
farmer advances backwards. A mer
chant. told me that he had to charge big
interest on account of the risk he took
in advancing—the risk of drought and
storms and caterpillars and boll-worm—
the risk of dead horses, and stolen mules,
and the farmer dying, and his widow
gobbling up the crop, apd lawyers’ fees,
and doctors’ bills tor the last sickness,
and a money panic, and a war in Europe
“That will-do,” said I; “I see it
all now. I didn’t know it was so risky.
1 don’t think you charge enough. You
ought todo like Dr. Wildman did whenhe
cured a nigger ot the smallpox. He just
took the w’hole nigger for pay.”
THE GROUND ABOUT TO BREAK.
Survey of tlie Furnace Property Made—
Location Will Sliortly l>e Determined.
The present as w ell as the future of Car
tersville seems to be trembling in the
balance and the oft repeated query is
heard from Pettus Creek to the Hurricane
Mountains, w hen will they break ground?
The survey has been made it is true, but
then there are so many ups and downs in
a togopraphical chart that a decision can
not always be made at a glance, and the
widom of a judicious selection for a fur
nace site can only be determined by a
thorough inspection and reinspection of
the plans furnished by the engineer or
surveyor.
So many tilings have to be considered
that it is of the highest importance to use
the greatest care at the beginning, con
nections with railroads; an easy grade,
with the least curvatare conformable to
the contour of the surface; where to. ob
tain the straightest line with the least
cut and fill, avoiding expensive trestle
work and at the same time to make a
substantial road bed for the rails that
will bear over them the product of the
two steel furnaces to be erected; not only
their details must have the highest con
sideration, but they must all conform
to the general plan which
will require in the first place
the correct locus for the foundatkn
of the furnaces, with their ueccessary
complement of stoves, boilers, pump
house, to say nothing of the stock houses
which must be conveniently 7 situated for
the handling of thousands upon thou
sands of tons of material.
And yet this is not all, for to the liberal
men who have come forward and con
tributed so largely to put Cartersville
w here she belongs, it is due that in mak
ing approaches to the furnaces with a
railroad, that the value of the magnifi
cent residence property belonging to them
should be enhanced, as it will be by any
improvements made by the lurnace com
pany.
The improvements have but begun and
they will go on, as they have l>een insti
tuted with all the earnestness, all the en
ergy and all the haste that judicious fore
thought can dictate or good judgment
support, there will be no mistake, aud the
ground will be broken just as soon as the
managers of the Furnace company feel
that they can go on continuously with
the work.
CAKTEKSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST lli, iSSS
THE OLD CONFEDS ASSEMBLE.
'
Seventh Annual Reunion of the
Eighteenth Georgia Regiment.
Cartersville Gives the Veterans si Royal
Reception—A Delightful Hand-Shak
ing—lnteresting Exercises.
A large crowd gathered in this city last
Friday to witness the annual reunion of
the Survivors’ Association of the 18th
Georgia regiment.
After registering and receiving badges
at the council chamber, the veterans
were formed in line by Capt. Ford, presi
dent of the association, and took up the
line of march to the tabernacle. They
were followed by many, and when they
united with those that had preceded
them at the spacious shelter, it looked
like old camp-meeting times.
While the members and the crowd were
being seated the Cartersville brass band,
which had accompanied them to the
stand, discoursed their delightful music.
A prominent figure was the old battle
flag of the regiment, faded by time, torn
aud tattered by many a bullet and burst
ing shell, but held in reverence by the
remnant of the brave and gallant regi
ment which had so often followed it to
the thickest of the fray.
Before opening the exercises, the wives,
widows and orphans of the members of
the regiment were invited to seats on the
stand, and quite a number took places
with the old soldiers.
The chaplain, Rev. E. Hurling, offered
a fervent, touching, appropriate prayer,
which was followed by the soft, sweet
notes of “Nearer My God to Thee,” by
the band.
The president then introduced Doug
las Wikle, Esq., who delivered the address
of w-elcome —eloquently voicing the feel
ing of Cartersville’s great heart, in eulo
gizing the valiant deeds of the veterans
and their fallen comrades, and welcoming
them to our hearts and homes. It was a
splendid address most happily delivered,
and made the veterans feel entirely at
home.
The address of welcome was responded
to by Capt. Stewart, of Conyers, in a
most feeling and eloquent manner. While
not a practiced orator, and without ef
fort to do more than “talk” his senti
ments, yet the captain thrilled his hear
ers by his eloquent response, and the
earnest manner in which he set forth the
sentiment that “Whatever is, is right,”
and that he would go to his grave feeling
that he and his comrades battled for
truth and right as they saw it.
Next Mr. AVarren Akin was introduced,
and, after paying a most eloquent tribute
to the women of the Confederacy, and to
the brave men who went at the call of
duty to offer their lives, if need be on the
altar of their country, he presented the
veterans with a beautiful banner, as the
gift of the ladies of Cartersville. It was
a large, magnificent silken banner, with
the following inscriptions in beautiful
gilt letters:
“Presented to the Survivors’ Associa
tion of the 18th Ga. Regiment by the
Ladies of Cartersville.” On the reverse
side: “We honor our Defenders.”
Col. Joe Armstrong, the last com
mander of the regiment, received the
banner on the part of the survivors, in
an address that touched every heart. The
bosoms of the old veterans heaved, and
their eyes were suffused w ith tears as he
went from scenes of noble daring- to
those of sadness, tenderness and mercy>
and here his glowing tribute to the noble
women who cheered on the men in times
of danger and failure,, held the vast au
dience spell-bound. He fully appreciated
the gift of our noble ladies, and his heart
was in his speech.
After this the colonel related many in
teresting incidents of the war, which
w-ere richly enjoyed by the veterans and
their entertainers.
During the delivery of the addresses a
number of lovely little girls went among
the soldiers pinning to the lapel of each
one’s coat a sweet little bouquet.
The dinner came next, and it was in
keeping with the occasion—a grand suc
cess. The local members of the associa
tion had used fin’e judgment in making
their arrangements, and this part of the
programme passed off in good style.
After the veterans had partaken of an
elegant dinner the vast crowd was in
vited to file in to the table, and there
was enough for all.
After dinner the routine business was
attended to.
Conyers was selected as the place for
the next meeting, and Maj. J. A. Stewart,
of that place, was elected president;
Capt. J. F. Esny, of Jefferson, vice-presi
dent; Geo. W. Maddox was re-elected sec
retary and Capt. Jesse R. AVikle assis
tant secretary. Letters by the
secretary from Jefferson Davis, Gen.
Longstreet, Gen. Young and other dis
tinguished citizens, acknowledging invi
tations and expressing regret at not
being able to attend.
Three cheers were given for Gen. Long
street when his letter was read.
Thanks were voted to the press and
railroads for favors shown.
-NOTES.
Ninety-nine members of the old regi
ment were present.
The ladies crowned themselves with
glory.
The 18th Ga., was the first oid regi
ment to hold a reunion after the war.
The last colorbearer’s name was Win.
O. Rogers, and after Col. Armstrong had
stuck his sword in the ground and broken
it off, the colorbearer tore the flag from
the staff and hid it in his bosom; and
though federals offered fifty and a hun
dred dollars apiece for Confederate flags,
he held to it.
A motion to meet every two years, in
stead of annually, was promptly and
unanimously voted down.
Capt. Maddox was unanimously re
elected Secretary, after strenuous efforts
to decline the office. We infer from his
remarks that he is insufficiently paid,
and we suggest that the citizens of those
places where the reunions are held, should
aid the veterans in meeting their ex
penses.
We give below a list of the survivors
who were present at the late reunion:

STEEL MAKING IN THE SOUTH.
North Georgia the Great Seat of
Steel Production.
Her Hills Full of tlie Very.Ores Best Suited
for it—A Process That Will Revolu
tionize This Great Interest.
The Constitution of last Sunday con
tained the following article on this all
important subject:
Heretofore the great production of
steel in the United States has been at
Pittsburg and north of that point for
the palpable reason that the great bulk
of what are known as Bessemer ores lie
nearest to manufacturing centers already
established.
The principal shipping point of these
ores has been at Marquette, on the south
shore of Lake Superior, whence millions
of tons have been transported by water
over six hundred miles to Cleveland,
thence by rail one hundred miles to Pitts
burg; the average cost to the consumer
at that point being, say $7 per ton.
These ores are so.J with a guarantee
to contain over 60 per cent, of metalic
iron, with a low limit of phosphorus;
they are called Bessemer ores because the
pig metal produced from them, being
almost entirely free from phosphorus,
can be immediately utilized in making
Steel by the Bessemer process, in the con
verter, whence the metal is decarbonized,
and subsequently supplied with the re.
quisite amount of carbon by the intro
duction of ferro-inanganese, or speigel,
thereby converting the whole mass into
steel; it is the method in general use for
the manufacture of steel rails, boiler-plate
and bridge work. Other ores, contain
ing too high a percentage of phosphorus
are classed non-Bessemer, because the
pig produced from such cannot be di
rectly utilized in the BesseraM* converter,
but must be first dephosphorized in the
open hearth or by the basic process be
fore transformation into steel.
This class of ores abound in the South.
Northern Georgia is full of them ; by the
application of the Pratt process to the
blast furnace all these ores can be utilized
in the production of steel, and juxta
posed as they are, to an inexhaustible
supply of manganese ores of superior
quality, they present the grandest op
portunity for development in the entire
South. With the erection of iron fur
naces and steel plant such as will be built
at Cartersville, Bartow county, Ga., the
steel center of the South will unquestion
ably be established at that point.
Phosphorus has a strong affiinity for
iron, and when combined, tjieir separa
tion becomes a problem for the chemist ;
it is the bete-noir of the ateel maker, ren
dering the metal “cold short,” i. e. brit
tle and easily broken when cold; and
phosphorus much oftener than frost, is
the cause of many of those dreadful ca
lamities occurring in the winter; incom
plete dephosphorization, a broken rail, a
mass of writhing humanity is a natural
sequence.
This chemical affinity brings about un
accountable relations between tlie ele
mentary substances; the lightest friction
of a match is sufficient to dissipate its
phosphorus “into thin air,” the little
heat generated being sufficient to cause a
dissolution of partnership, and the for
mation of anew combination ; but wed
ded to iron, the fury of the hottest flame
of the ordinary blast lurnace urged to a
heat of nearly three thousand degrees
cannot divorce it. True t b its affinity it
flows from the furnace with the molten
iron, there to remain until a stronger af
finity overcomes its devotion to its me
tallic mate.
This, then, is the problem, how can we,
at the least cost bring about a separa
tion, eliminate this objectionable ele
ment, and obtain a metal easily conver
tible into steel. How can we profitably
produce such a metal from the cheap and
abundant ores of the South containing,
as they do, so large a percentage of phos
phorus?
It would not be promising too much to
say that the problem has been already
solved by one of the ablest and most
practical chemists; that a series of ex
periments, already made in a large blast
furnace, has demonstrated to a certainty
that, under these favorable conditions
phosphorus can be annihilated by ad
vantageous working of the Pratt pro
cess, contrary to the general opinion en
tertained by iron masters. These desir
able conditions exist in the blast furnace
while it is in active operation, and it is
there, when the iron i3 in its nascent
state that economical dephosphoriza
tion will take place; it is there, that this
Hie grandest triumph in metallurgy of
the present century will be accomplished.
It would be impossible to estimate the
amount of material wealth created by
so simple a triumph of mind over matter,
to enumerate the grand developments
made possible, or the innumerable [indus
tries that will spring up around the
birthplace of so practical a solution to
so difficult a problem, a solution that the
iron masters of the world have sought in |
vain for centuries: nor would it be amiss
here to mention the immense profits to
be derived by those fortunate enough to
be identified with the interest of the two
great companies organized to carry out
on a large and liberal basis the plans
already formulated. Within ten days
the ground will be broken for the erection
of two seventy-five ton iron furnaces; a
steel plant and rolling mill will follow.
What this means to the South, what
this means to the vast field of industry
of the world, it is utterly impossible .to
predict or conceive, what changes it may
bring about it would be folly to forecast;
already plans have been matured to dem
onstrate the fact beyond peradventure,
and it should be the pride of every citi
zen of Georgia that within the limits of
their own State, from ores dug from her
own furnaces, manufactured in her own
rolling mills, the first steel rails ever pro
duced south of Pittsburgh from native
metal, will go out in competition with
the trade.
Cartersville will enter the arena, the
youngest and sturdiest giant in the
South, and with her trenchant Hade
wielded by the sinews of steel, disarm the
gladiators of the ring and place the lau
rels she has won where they belong; a
crown of glory brighter than kings can
ever win or monarchs wear—a tribute to
the transcendant genius that sent her
forth to battle with the world.
YELLOW FEVER.
Great Excitement in Florida-The Kush
to Get Away From Jacksonville.
Mr. J. A. Trawick, of Wildwood, Fla.,
who formerly lived at Cedartown, and
married a daughter of Mr. J. M. Todd,
of this city, arrived here last Sunday
night. His family were already here, and
his babe had been reported as danger
ously sick. He says the section he lives
in is very healthy, and they have very
little fear of the fever there —it being 135
miles from Jacksonville—but he shared
the common fear that they might get
shut in and cut off by quarantines all
around them, and then the refugees
might pile in so thick as to bring them
the ffiver, so he was glad to get out.
Mr. Trawick’s description of his trip—
the packed trains—excited crowds —some-
times stopped before reaching a town —
sometimes locked in the cars and carried
through them in quick time—sometimes
camping in the woods—is interesting to
listen to. He says the people are panic
stricken, and abandon home, furniture
and everything, to get awav —many
starting without any idea where they
will finally land —but they must go.
He does not think the fever will really
be severe at Jacksonville, and with
proper caution and a general cleaning
up, will soon be over. He blames the
city authorities for not preserving a
strict quarantine against Tampa and
Plant City, where the fever has been ex
isting ever since last summer.
It is a great misfortune to Jackson
ville whether they have much fever or
not, as all business is suspended, and
will hardly be resumed before winter.
It is thought more than ten thousand
people have left the city, and they are
still leaving.
It is feared that the colored popula
tion, without employment, and without
money, will plunder the hundreds of
houses that have been left vacant by
their owners, and there is talk of martial
law.
So far no cases of yellow fever have
broken out among the negroes.
Organization of tlie Barlow County Far
mers’ -Alliance.
In accordance with previous appoint
ment, the delegates from the various sub
alliances met at the court house in Car
tersville, August Bth, for the purpose
of organizing a county alliance.
The body was called to order by I. J.
Stephens, district organizer, at 10 a. m.
The delegates and visitors then lis
tened with rapt interest to a speech de
livered by Mr. William Everett, president
of the Polk county Farmers’ Alliance.
How any man could listen to the sound
ad vice and wholesome truths delivered by
th is earnest speaker and yet work against
this organization, we can't see.
After the speech the body adjourned
until 1 p. m., at which time the delegates
reassembled, and were organized into a
comity alliance with the folio wing officers:
President, J D Murchison; Vice-presi
dent, B 0 Crawford; Secretary, R N
Best; Treasurer, R H Dodd; Chaplain, W
V Gaston; Lecturer, T J Lyon; Assis
tant lecturer,Louis Wilson; Door-keeper,
J if Jackson; Assistant door-keeper,
Satterfield, of Cassville Farmers’ Alli
ance; Sergeant at arms, J C Dodd.
After transacting some business of the
county alliance, the body adjourned to
meet at the same place Saturda3~ before
the second Sunday in September.
