IIKMOC RATIC MASS MKKTIXi.
Pursuant to the call of the joint chair
meii of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Bartow comity, a meeting of
the eommitte was held at thecourt house
on Tuesday last with Col. R. H. Jones in
the chair, and It. I. Battle, Secretary.
After consultation it was resolved to
hold a mass meeting of the party at the
court house on the first Tuesday in Sep
tember, for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the nominating convention of
the seventh Congressional district, at
Cedar town.
At this mass meeting anew executive
committee will also be selected-to serve
for the ensuing two years.
Ft. H. Jones, Ch’n.
R. 1. Battle, See'y.
Samvel Noble, the founder of Annis
ton, died in that city last Monday. He
was one of the foremost men of this pro
gressive age, and his death is a calamity
to the country.
Col. J. H. Estill, of the Savannah
Morning News, lias bought the Macon
Telegraph, and will now have “two
papers, both daily.” The Colonel is one
of the most successful newspaper men in
the country, and will doubtless make the
Telegraph prove a good investment.
Hon. Jas. G. Blaine returned from
Europe last week, and his reception at
New York, was a most enthusiastic one-
He will enter at once upon the campaign.
IVaine is the real leader of the Republi"
can hosts, and must be depended upon
to do the enthusing necessary to make a
respectable fight for that party.
While the South is “solid” on politics,
it is also “solid” on the question of
material progress and development. No
s ction of the country, however is more
conservative and tolerant in politics, and
every man is free to exercise his own
judgment in the matter of voting. She
realizes the fact that this is a free coun
try, and a gentleman from & Northern
State recently.said to us that there was
less ostracism on account of politics in
the South than in the North.
Thk yellow fever has been declared
epidemic at Jacksonville, Fla., and there
is a great rush of refugees from that
unfortunate city. She has been quaran
tined against by all those Southern
cities, where the fever has found a foot
hold heretofore. Atlanta feels safe, and
invites the refugees to make themselves
at home there. Several instances are
mentioned of patients going there and
living with the disease without spread
ing it. That city is claimed to be proof
against the dread disease.
ThE Atlanta Constitution is doing a
great work for our grand old State, and
our people show their appreciation by a
liberal patronage, as they should. For
years this great paper has made a
specialty of Southern development, and
has done much towanls directing atten
tion to the wonderful resources of the
Empire State of the South. The pub.
lisiiers have good cause to be proud of
the results of their earnest and untiring
labors for the building up of our State
capital, and the advancement of th e
material interests of the whole State.
Cartersville thanks you, gentlemen, for
your many kindnesses toward her.
Few towns in the country can boast
of as many and as noted celebrities as
Cartersville. She bar Sam Jones, the
best known and most popular preacher
in America; Bill Arp, a humorist, whose
productions are sought far and near;
I)r. W. H. Felton, the farmer-statesman,
recognized as one of the foremost men of
this age; Mrs. W. H. Felton, the deepest
thinker, and brightest writer among the
intellectual women of our country; and
we might make a long list of this, if we
should give the names of leading lawyers,
best farmers and notable men in other
callings. But the list will be incomplete
if we fail to say that she also has the
brightest and best weekly newspaper in
the State.
ATLANTA AND YELLOW JACK.
While nearly all the-other cities are
quarantining against Jacksonville and
the other yellow fever points in Florida,
Atlanta throw's her doors wide open, and
invites the refugees to come in. This is
humane, and it may.be wise, and it may
not. When the fever was raging in Mo
bile and other cities west of us; Molly
Spring. Mississippi, and other points in
th at State and Tennessee, some of them
far in the interior had the scourge carried
t 0 them, and suffered fearfully as a conse
quence. Our advice to Atlanta is, to be
somewhat cautious in her hospitality,
and not to rest too much on the assurance
that vellow fever cannot exist in her lati
tude.
We have no doubt the excit-ement is
greater than the real facts would justi y,
but there may be extremes in botli direc
tions.
jf {h e great scare would result in de
populating .Jacksonville, it will tie well,
for it will cut short the days of the plague.
But the safest plan is for the whole coun
try to look well tosanitation and reason
able precautionary measures.
Far s\ii!e cheerfully welcomes those
who seek refuge in this healthy clime, and
it is hardly possible now that a patient
can get away from the infected places, so
there is no cause for alarm really in Ma
con and cities still lower down. But if it
scares all of them into more thorough
sanitary regulations it will be a good
thing for the country.
NOW IS TilE TIME.
The coming fall will bring thousands
of people to the South, prospecting. They
should know something of Cartersville
and Bartow county before coming, so
that they may be induced to stop and see
us. .
Now is the time to advertise the place.
Thousands of copies of the Couiiant-
Amekican should be placed where they
will do the most good within the next s’x
weeks..
We have the addresses of nearly 25.000
people, scattered over the Northern,
Eastern and Western States and Territo
ries, who are already interested in the
South and many of theta will soon be
seeking Southern homes. They should
be posted as to advantages offered by
our city and county. The best and
cheapest way to do this is by placing a
few copies of the county paper in their
hands.
To fill up the paper with display adver
tisements would not answer the purpose.
Its columns should be teeming with red
hot matter about our minerals, our cli
mate, water health, agriculture, etc.
Five hundred dollars spent in this way
during the next few weeks would pay
Cartersville better than any investment
she could make of five times this amount
in any other direction
This is no guess work., We have seen
it tried. Kansas City has done her ad
vertising mainly in this way, and she has
grown more rapidly than any city in the
country. Other places, in Alabama and
Georgia, are reaping a rich harvest from
a like investment.
Shall we take advantage of the oppor
tunity?
The Cofrant-Ameican will head a sub
scription list with one hundred dollars
for this purpose, provided the amount
can be raised to five hundred dollars.
Every business man, every property hol
der in the county is directly interested.
This is a practicable business proposi
tion. The list is open. How much will
you invest in this way?
There is no reason or justice in depend
ing upon the publishers to meet all this
expense. They are already doing all the
free work for the public good that they
can afford, in justice to themselves.
THEY MEAN BUSINESS.
Another JLive Company Enters the Field—
On With the Boom.
The Cartersville Beal Estate Company,
composed of live men, with Mr. A. M.
Willingham as general manager, has
opened business in <\ business-like man
ner. They will soon have one of the
handsomest offices in the country, with
every facility for the transaction of their
business.
Their office for the present is in the
northeast corner of the court house.
The parties interested have done a great
deal towards bringing about the present
bright outlook of our city, and they
propose to keep up the racket, only on a
more extensive scale than ever.
The facilities of this company for
handling property to the best advantage
are unexcelled. Their acquaintance with
this country is thorough, and their deal
ings may be depended upon for the
“square thing” with all their patrons.
This company will advertise their busi
ness and the advantages of this section
on a broad, liberal scale.
Prospectors coming to the city are in
vited to make their office headquarters.
Their long residence here and familiarity
with the city and surrounding country
eminently qualify them for giving a
stranger information.
We predict for this company a big suc
cess. Bead advertisement elsewhere in
this paper.
Bids for a High School.
At the meeting of the Middle Cherokee
Association at Adairsville, Ga., on Sept.
1887, a committee of five was appointed
to consider the propriety of establishing
somewhere in tire bounds of the associa
tion a high school, to be known as the
Byals High School, and to receive propo
sitions from places that might desire
such school to be located in their midst.
This is to notify all parties interested
that said committee will hold a meeting
at Taylorsville on Friday before the 4th
Sunday in September, 1888, where all
proposals looking to this end will be
considered reported to the association,
which will be iu session at the aforesaid
time and place.

CARTERSVILLE S RISING TIDE.
Probable Kfleet of tbe New Furnaces, 1101 -
Gas and M ater Works, Etc*.
It is not surprising that our city is
now attracting the attention of people
far and near—and especially those inter
est and in the handling ot iron and other
minerals.
The Macon Telegraph, a pa]>er that
has always been a strong friend of our
city, contained the following from its
correspondent here in a late issue.
“Cartersville is beginning to show per
ceptible evidence of a first-class boom.
In the last ten days several large deals
looking to the growth of the town have
been consummated. One of these was
the location of the Pratt Steel Company
furnaces and plants in our place. This
company proposes to erect at once two
furnaces, a fifty-ton iron and a twenty
ton ferro-manganese, the latter being the
first one of its kind in the South. The
ferro-manganese furnaces of this country
are operated near Pittsburg, Pa., and
are owned by the Carnegies. It is not
generally known that the supply of ma
terial to run these furnaces are shipped
from the Cartersville depot. Such is the
fact. There is not a day that carload
after carload is not shipped to the Car
negies. The location of these furnaces is
a source of much gratification to our
people, for the turning into money of our
material—and it is simply inexhaustible
—brings to us an incessant flow of wealth.
Our minerals are known the world over,
particularly the booming towns of Bir
mingham, Decatur, Anniston, Sheffield
and Knoxville. These cities draw their
supplies of our best ores from this place
to mix. with their inferior ores, thus
bringing them up to a marketable article.
In connection with these furnaces will
be an attendant steel plant, the Pratt
process, which will revolutionize the steej
industry of the country. You cau imag
ine the importance of this company when
it is claimed they can put steel rails on
the market at S2O per ton and make
money.
A hundred and fifty thousand dollar
rolling mill company will be organized in
Atlanta Thursday of this week. A first
class rolling mill man Ims already been
employed from Pittsburg, Pa.
Our city fathers are fully imbued with
the spirit of progress. They have just
let out a contract for a fine system of
water works, Messrs. Jeter & Boardmau>
of your city, securing the contract. Our
people feel assured by identifying such a
61ever set of gentlemen as compose their
association with the interests of Carters
ville that they are largely the gainers.
The city fathers have also contracted
for gas, which will be put in at once.
A Boston syndicate has bought several
acres of land near in, and will proceed
at once to build several fine residences,
witn all modern improvements.
Real estate is, you might say, “climb
ing the golden stair.” The market is
wild, at firm figures that are rapidly ad
vancing, and it may be safely predicted
that Georgia con at last claim that she
has a mil booming town. Georgia capi
tal has been largely instrumental in
building up Alabama towns, and no\V it
lias a very fine opportunity of investing
in a coming town right in Georgia. There
is no disputing the fact that we are loca
ted m a country that justifies any kind
of a boom. The farming interests are
equalled only by the lands of Illinois and
lowa. The climate is magnificent, water
first-class, a perfect sanitarium, a feature
not possessed by the malarial but boom
ing districts of other sections.
Cartersville is, beyond question, the
coming town of Georgia, the coming
steel-making centre of the South, and it
is hard to imagine its future prospects.
Macon people are largely interested in
the famouß Etowah property. The prop
erty will eventually make its owners rich.
No finer can be found in the South, as
the owners of the property know full
well.
Down With the Old—Up With the New.
Yesterday morning we noticed the
workmen busily engaged in tearing down
the large old building on the corner of
Main and Erwin streets, known as the
Gilreath corner. While our old citizens
are partaking of the enthusiasm of the
present, yet we doubt not many of them
will heave a sigh of sadness as they see
the old building disappear. A comming
ling of sad and joyous memories move
the heart as we see these old land marks
disappear.
This was one of the first and most pre
tentious buildings erected in the city
after the war. It was built by our old.
friend, Nelson Gilreath, and for a long
time occupied by him as a business
house, since which time it has been de
voted to several different purposes.
But, down she goes—and with it will
soon go many of the other buildings
that have served their day and genera
tion, and must give place to the onward
march of progress and improvement.
This property now belongs to Mr. M.
G. Dobbins, who is removing the old
building for the purpose of adorning
that eligible corner with a splendid two
story brick block. It is one of the best
business locations in the city, and with
the new building will be a most valuable
piece of property.
Let the good work go on.
Gov. Gordon yesterday issued an order
levying three and fifty-six one-hundredths
of one per cent, taxes upon the whole
State of Georgia, for all purposes, for
fiscal year ending December, 1888.
Man\‘ a mao whose hair is now gray
vvill learn with regret of the death of old
John Robinson, the famous showman.
The first circus the w riter ever saw was
John Robinson's, at old Cassville, in her
palmy days. Among the red letter days
in our life experience, is that day, when we
ran away to the two-mile branch, to see
the elephant come in, stands out in bold
relief. John Robinson's life would make
an interesting book.
Log Cabins were, in
the Harrison-Tippecanoe
I campaign of 1840 er -t \
ssr in the large cities and vil-
lages, and used for ho l
ing political meetings.
rtSS Barrels of hard cidjr were
placed in front of the cabins, and the
“Log Cabin hard-cider campaign of '4O"
has passed into history as the most en
thusiastic of our political contests.
Log Cabins have for this reason a per
manent place in American history.
Warner's Log Cabin Remedies and “Tip
pecanoe" tonic bitters have secured a
permanent place because of their ex
cellence.
