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.

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.

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.
