tin 1 most delightful places for a liome
, M ~11 Georgia, resting like a diamond in
sotting of precious stones —with her
r ich surroundings, being the headquarters
jor the tamous Oothealoga valley, noted
and near for its rich farming lands,
splendid sto< k farms, etc.
The writer spent last Friday in Adairs
ilic. We had not been there in over
tin.a vwurs, and was struck with the
aiiui.v evidences of progress and improve
niHit that met our eyes on every hand.
The people are bouyed up with the gen
.pjrit ot progress that prevadts our
a bolt* seetion, and are more hopeful for
the future of their splendid town than we
have ever known them.
Prominent among the improvements,
we noticed two handsomenew churches—
baptist and Methodist. They are both
tastv, convenient and commodious
structures, and with the Presbyterian
church, furnish Adairsville with as good
church privileges as any town of the size
we know ot. # *
Mr. Thos. Johnson, one of the live men
o! the place, is building anew brick store
house adjoining his drug store, which is
one of the most attractive establishments
of the kind in this section.
Mr. George Yeach is building a dwelling
house in the northern end of town that
will hen perfect beauty when completed.
Other important improvements are in
contemplation.
We can confidently commend Adairs
ville to those in search of pleasant South
ern homes. The citizens are highly in*
telligent, hospitable, church-going; no
saloons, no drunkards, and it is very
rare to find a community so free from
immoral influences.
The educational advantages are supe
rior. There are two good schools for the
population ; the principals arecol
graduates, and have able and ac
complished lady assistants.
This point is the center of trade for a
wide scope of country. Farmers for
many miles around bring their produce
here for sale and shipment, for which they
receive the highest market prices, and
they bay their supplies and farm imple
ments of these merchants, from whose
large stocks they can always be abun
dantly supplied.
There are annually shipped from this
station about 100,000 bushels ol oats,
•5,000 bales of cotton, 125,000 bales of hay
of lot) pounds each, 600,000 pounds of
•■otton seed, 200,0*00 dozen of eggs, besides
large quantities of beef, pork, poultry
and butter and other farm products.
flight, years ago only fifty bales of cot
ton were shipped, now 8,000; then no
rotton seed at all, now 600,000 pounds.
Thirteen years ago the business of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, at this
Nation, was from $450 to SSOO a month;

A WAR SECRET REVEALED.
How (irnnt Obtained Knowledge of the
Movements of I’emberton’s Army.
Prof. Jos. T. Derry contributes the fol
lowing in reference to the battle of La
ker’s (’reek, and which will probably ex
plain why the Confederate army under
General Pemberton was defeated:
On page 545 of volume 111 of the Cen
tury Company’s great book, “Battles
and Leaders of the Civil War,’’ I find
something which will perhaps be new to
many of your readers. It is headed,
“Correspondence between General Pem
berton and Generals Grant and Blair.”
The following is General Pemberton’s
letter :
“Wahrenton, Fauquikh, Co.,Ya’., Jan.
80,1874. —Ilis Excellency, F. S. Grant,
President of the FnitedStat.es—Sir: A
statement of some historic significance
and of considerable interest to me per
sonally, has lately come to my rfotice in
a way that induces me to address you as
the single individual competent to con
firm or refute it. 1 am aware that 1
have no claim to your special considera
tion ; should you, however, deem it not
improper to respond to my inquiry, I
shall feel myself indebted to your kind
ness. The statement 1 refer to was from
a general officer of the army ot the Ten
nessee and was in the words following:
“ ‘lt was generally understood in our
army that Gen. Johnston’s courier, con
veying dispatches to you previous to
the battle o4' Baker’s Creek or Champion
Hills, betrayed his dispatches to Gen.
Grant, and also your answers to Gen.
Johnston’s orders. Ido not know posi
tively from Gen. Grant these facts, but
the matter was spoken of by the officers
of our army in such away as to leave no
doubt in my mind.’ ”
“Permit, me to add that this informa
tion has tended to confirm my own sus
picion, excited at the time by the (other
wise) inexplicable delay in the receipt of
Gen. Johnston’s dispatch of the 14th of
May, which, as you, sir, are probably
aware, was not handed to me until after
5 p. m. on the 10th, when my army was
in full retreat. My inquiry is confined
simply to two points : first, the truth (or
reverse) of the facts discussed by the
officers of the Army of the Tennessee;
second, the correctness (or the reverse)
of my surmises as to the dispatch of the
14th above referred to, I am, sir, most
respectfully your obedient servant,
J. C. Pemberton.
Gen. Grant’s reply is as follows:
“Executive Mansion, Washington,
January 31,1874. —General J. C. Pem
berton, Warrenton, Yirginia—General:
Your letter of yesterday was duly re
ceived this morning, and the President
authorized me to sav that the statement
of the officer to which you refer was cor
rect, and he thinks you are also correct
as to your surmises in regard to the
delay in receipt of your dispatch. He
says the dispatches were brought in our
lines and given to General McPherson
and by him immediately brought to
headquarters. I have the honor to re
main, sir, your obedient servant,
Levi I*. Lucky, Secretary.”
On the 19th of January, 1874, General
Pemberton addressed a letter, substan
tially to the same effect, to General
Frank P. Blair, whose reply corrobo
rates General Grant’s statement.
\Ye give General Blair's letter also:
“St. Louis, January *24, 1874. —Gen-
eral J. F. Pemberton, Fauquier county,
Ya.—Dear General: I take pleasure, in
answer to your letter of the 19th of Jan
uary, in saying that it was generally un
derstood in our army that General John
ston's courier, carrying dispatches to
you previous to the battle of Baker’s
Creek or Champion Hills, betrayed his
dispatches to General Grant, and also
vour answers to General Johnsons or
ders, so that, in feet, General Grant had
the most precise information as to your
movements and those ot (jeneral J dhli
st on. L do not know positively from
General Grant these facts, but irlie mat
ter was spoken of by the officers of our
army in such a way a* ko leave no doubt
in mv miud. \ ery respectfully, your
obedient servant, Frank: P. Blair.’
Thinking that the correspondence here
given might interest those who are not
yet tired of war incidents, 1 send it to
you, to make any use of you may deem
proper. Joseph l. Derby,
A real estate man gets off the following
effusion: “Tell me not in mournful num

THE WORLD IN AMAZEMENT.
At the New South’s Phenomenal
Development.
Cotton .Mills Moving to Cotton Fields—
Tlie (ireai iron Magnet That is I>rn wing
Capital to Southern States.
The average reader would be surprised
to see the impression Southern pros
perity is making in other sections and
other countries. We do not keep count
of the changes that are going on around
us. They move gradually, like the
growth of our children, • and like the
growth of our children are never appre
ciated. An editorial of last week in the
Stockholder, a financial and industrial
journal published in New York, contains
an illustration in point. Among other
things the Stockholder says:
“The South is already beginning to be
sought for and to be thought of as a
place of investment for conservative
capital. Since the war and the lamenta
ble period following it, the improve
ment in every way has been extraordi
nary, new fields of industry have been
developed, pew manufactures created.
Alabama bids fair to distance Pennsyl
vania as an iron manufacturing State,
and the cotton mills of Georgia, with the
raw material within reach of the hand
of the mill manager as he stands in the
mill door, begin to prove a serious me
nace to the manufacturer of cotton
goods in Fall River and Manchester.
Horace Greely, had he been alive to-day,
would have hesitated in advising the
young man, and would have said “(To
West or South,” both offering equal ad
advantages. The tide of emigration
from Europe is beginning to be directed
in a measure to the South, and the rail
roads of that section, which but a few
years ago, in many cases, consisted of
but “two streaks of rust and the right
of way,” are keeping pace, and in fact are
in the vanguard of the march of improve
ment, which everywhere is making the
South the equal of her sister of the North
in every, respect to manufacturers and
their allied industries, as she has always
been her equal in culture.”
And further on we find these encourag
ing remarks:
“The record of the past year shows
throughout the South still expanding
enterprise in all directions, increasing
business, growing power and enlarging
wealth, and all at accelerated rates.
Witness the increase in general wealth
from 1876 to 1880, $41,087,437; from
1880 to 1886, $571,899,722. In the
single year 1887, $202,213,264. Asa
result of laborious investigation, the
‘Manufacturer’s Record’ testifies: Dur
ing that year more was accomplished for
the prosperity and progress of that sec
tion than ever before in the same length
of time. It is not alone in the enormous
industrial development and in the addi
tion of millions of dollars to the manu
facturing capital and thousands ot new
enterprises, ranging from the small saw
mill to the great iron and steel works,
that 1887 will ever be memorable in the
history of Southern industries —greater
than these, so far as concerns the future
progress of the South, is the interest that
has been awakened among Northern and
European capitalists in the vast mineral
and timber wealth of that section, and
their conversion? to the truth that the
South is destined to be the richest coun
try in the world.”
These are encouraging words, but not
more encouraging than real facts, that
are materializing before us regularly as
the weeks go by.
The South, downtrodden .and desola
ted a few years ago, now pictures the
vision of the inspired prophet, “A nation
built up in a day.”
According to the statistics furnished
the War Department at Washington,
the following is the latest horse census:
Russia, 21,570,000; America, 6,000,000;
the Argentine Republic, 4,000,000; Aus
tria, 3,500,000; Germany, 3,300,000;
France, 2,000,000, and 300,4)00 mules;
England, 2,790.000 horses; Spain, 080,-
000 horses and 2,300,000 mules; Italy,
2.000,100 horses; Belgium, 383,000;
Denmark, 316,000; Australia, 301,000;
Holland, 125,000, and Portugal, 80,-
000 horses and 50,000 mules.
There are many things a woman can
do that man witluill his boasted supe
riority cannot do. They are too numer
ous to mention just now. But a lady
told us something we had not thought
of before. She said a woman can go to
town on the cars, buy enQugh bundles to
till two or three seats, and when she gets
off at her station, gather up all those
bundles in her arm, lead two children
and hold up her dress with the other arm
until she gets to her home.

Farmers’ Alliance.
Each sub Alliance is requested to send
three delegates to the Bartow county
Alliance, which meets in Cartersville on
Saturday, September Bth. __
AS OTHERS SEE US.
YYha-t Col. W. A. Jeter Has to Say About
Cartersville’# Outlook.
Col. W. A. Jeter is back from Catters
ville.
“Hello Colonel,” said a Breeze reporter
meeting him on the streets yesterday,
“How- is Cartersville?’’
“Cartersville sir is in the toils of an
immense boom. The waterworks 1 am
building there is only one of numerous
projects w hich are on foot.”
“What else‘is going to be done?”
“Well, engineers are in the field laying
off the grounds of the Steel and Furnace
Company, which will be graded and side
tracks put in at once; the city has just
closed a contract with a Boston) com
pany for electric lights. A Boston syn
dicate has secured a track of land there
and will soon commence the erection of
several handsome residences; a rolling
mill company with a capital of SIOO,OOO |
has been organized. An ice factory is ;
assured and the air is full of rumors of
other gigantic enterprises.”
“Things must be lively.”
I should say so, but hold on. I'm not
through yet. Contracts have been
closed for the erection of a 50 ton iter
day pig iron furnace and a ferro manga
nese furnace with an output of 20 tons
per day. Strangers are coming in lively
and the hotels are full.”
If Col. Jeter's predictions of Carters
ville are anyways as good as those he
made of Brunswick four years ago, Car
tersville will certainly be a great city. It
will be remembered that when Col. Jeter
built his gas and waterworks this city
didn’t have 4,000 people, we now have
over 10,000. Cartersville is lucky in
having Col. Jeter interested in her.
Cliair Factory.
There is not a finer opening in Georgia
for a chair factory than Cartersville.
With her admirable railroad facilities,
accessible timber scope, and general ad
vantageous surroundings, an enterprise
of this kind could be made a paying thing
from the very start. Of the chair factory
in Griffin the Sun, of that city, says:
“It turns out an average of 300 chairs
per day, or about 100,000 annually.
These chairs are sold as fast as put upon
the market in this State, Alabama and
Mississippi, and that, too, with but little
drumming —a thousand dozen per week
is no big sale for one man to make in
either of these States.
“So steady and rapid lias been the
growth of this branch of business that
the proprietors are enlarging their plant
to-double its capacity in order to meet
demands. These chairs, be it remem
bered, are made entirely of Georgia wood
—mainly from the forests of Spalding
county. We were shown a chair yester
day, built from material from our own
forests, containing fourteen varieties of
wood. The backs were of walnut, osage
orageandash. The posts of white oak,
red oak, sweet gum and maple The
rounds cherry, white hickory, poplar,
china, beach, red hickory and gnarled
pine—all varnished and making a beauti
ful contrast and a most attractive and
substantial piece of furniture.”
Tht* Alliance and tine Trusts.
The Georgia State Farmers’ Alliance,
which met in Macon last week, passed
the following resolutions:
Whereas, The Bagging Trust which is
now seeking to so wickedly oppress the
farmers of the cotton States in the arti
cle of bagging and other articles of con
sumption.
Resolved, That the Farmers’ Alliance
of Georgia hold their •otton in the seed
so far as practicable until the oppression
sought to be put upon them is broken,
and urge all cotton farmers and Alliance
men of other States, and other parties
that are being oppressed by this combi
nation, to unite with us against these
combinations and trusts that are so
wickedly oppressing us.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
given to the press for publication.
Resolved, That the thanks of this, the
Georgia State Alliance be, and are hereby
tendered the Hon. Breckinridge, of Ar
kansas; Morgan, of Mississippi; Sim
mons, of North Carolina, and others now
moving in our national Congress looking
to the relief of cotton planters from the
oppression and wicked conduct of the
Bagging Trust.
Another Planing Mill and Lmafier Yard.
Mr. Wills, of Broken Arrow-, Ala., was
in the city last Monday. He was inves
gating the advantages that Cartersville
offered for the establishment of a plan
ing mill. He was highly pleased with the
prospects of the town and the general
conditions he found favoring his enter
prise, and we learn has about made up
his mind to locate here at once a planing
mill and extensive lumber yard. He is
one of a firm now operating a large saw
mill at Broken Arrow, and they now
have great quantities of fine lumber
stacked up on their mill yards awaiting
a favorable market. Mr. \kills ai*i asso
elates will find a good opening here for
vent m i;
WHAT ABOUT THE FI’RSACE ?
The Programme Calls for a Run
About Christmas.
The Work Moving- On Steadily—Tlie Roll
ing Mill and Other Important Enter
prises—The Visit of Capitalists.
“What about the furnace?”
This was the question put to Mr. Mar
tin by a Coukant-Amehican reporter
yesterday on entering tlie office of the
Cartersville Steel and Furnace Cos., and
it was answered in a confident, enthusi
astic manner.
“Dr. Pratt says he will make a run by
Christmas, provided there is no provi
dential hindrance. Everything is in
slftipe. Each man is looking after his
part of the work, and the way is all
open to a reasonably speedy consumma
tion of this and other large enterprises
as well.”
Fpon inquiry we find that tin* com
pany finds no difficulty in placing all the
stock they wish to, and if they desire
conhl enlist a great many more capi
talists in tlie enterprise.
I)r. Pratt is hard at work oil the plans
and specifications, and has an immense
amount of work that cannot be divided
with others, and consequently requires
some time.
Young Mr. Pratt is off examining
quarries, with a view- to the supply of
rock necessary.
The truth is, tlie work is going forward
rapidly.
The more the managers see of Carters
ville and her surroundings the better sat
isfied they are that a better location for
this important plant could not have
been found.
We were shown the stock certificates
of the company, which is a splendid
piece of work. The most prominent
feature on the face is a fine representa
tion of the furnace buildings as they will
appear when completed.
The furnace is a fixed fact.
The introduction of the Pratt process
of steel making here w ill carry the name
of Cartersville all over the world. It is
difficult for us to comprehend the magni
tude of this enterprise.
It will also do more than anything
else could in the way of attracting the
attention of the iron world to our im
mense stores of unequaled ores.
THE ROLLING MILL
may also be put down as a certainty.
The interested parties will be here next
week to locate a site and inaugurate the
work on that enterprise.
Again we congratulate our people upon
the bright and brightening prospect of
our highly fovored city.
m A well-known society woman, speak
ing of the attacks made upon her sex for
their methods of handling their skirts or
bustles when sitting down, carrying
their parasols and other habits, says: “l
think three-quarters of such talk is non
sense. lam perfectly sure that men
have just as many marked habits as
women. What can be more absurd, I’d
like to know, tha'ft to see a man every
time he sits down fling his coat tails
wide apart as though something fright
ful would happen if he forgot to part
them. Then, again, that everlasting
twitching at the legs of his trousers so
as to pull them up infolds above the
knees and exposing generally Ihe not al
ways attractive top of a pair of shoes
with strings tied in a by no means pic
turesqme knot. To me one of the repul
sive habits is the refolding up of a hand
kerchief before replacing it in the pocket,
which is quite common to men. I always
wonder if the user is afraid of getting
them mussed or only wants the outside
fresh and clean. As regards the perpet
ual movement of the hand to the head or
face, pulling down cuffs so they will show
beneath the sleeve, and similar tricks.
Are they not everyday sights? Fpon my
word I’m really sick of the whole subject,
and when I walk along the streets par
ticularly and observe the habits of the
male pedestrians and their utter disre
gard of the rights of others, I think the
less they say about the ‘weaker sex' the
better.
The watermelon crop of Georgia is a
big tiling. This year 7,800,000 have
been shipped. The average price of a
melon when retailed is 20 cents. The
#1 mil total valuation of Georgia's crop
of watermelons is over $1,500,000. The
farmers probably receive at least three
cents clear on each melon, giving them
$200,000. The railroad companies
probably get SBOO,OOO as freight, and
{he commission men divide the -balance*
V)f $470,000. The railroads get the big
gest share, of course, but they have done
much towards opening up new markets
for the Georgia iamiers, and state that
their rates are as low as possible. Much
of this sum is spent directly for the neces
sary labor ia this State, and so it may
be safely said that the watermelon crop
DEATH OF REV. SAMUEL HALL-
Tli** Rector of V elision Cliurcli TSud
denly—A Congregation Mourns.
Ilev. Samuei Mail, who had recently as
sumed the charge of the Cartersville and
Cedartown Episcopal churches, died sud
denly, u%Mrs. Shockley's, wiiei*e he was
hoarding, on Tuesday evening last. He
had been indisposed tor two or three
weeks, but was thought to be improving;
and during Tuesday was m buoyant
spirits. He told Mr. Henry Hall to have
services announced tor Sunday,and men
tioned the subject upon which he wished
to preach.
At tea Mr. Hall did not complain, but
it was noticed that he looked quite pale
on leaving the table: and soon after en
tering his room he fell upon the floor.
Members of the family hurried to him,
when he was found lying upon his back,
in an unconscious condition, and but
faintly breathing. Dr. Baker was sent
lor and soon reached the seem*, but it
was evident that the beloved pastor was
already beyond human skill, and he soon
after ceased to breathe.
I)r. Hall is supposed to have had heart
disease, and a recent contracted cold,
producing acute 1 neuralgia of that organ,
hurried his end.
For many years the deceased had been
rector of a flourishing parish at Morris
town, X. J.; but on the advice of his phy
sician resigned it to try a milder climate.
He went first to Atchison, Kansas, where
he assumed a charge; but finding that
the climate did rrot agree with him, came
South, and though he had been here but
a short time, had won the warm love of
his church, and the cofidence and esteem
of our community.
He was a man of deep learning!, with a
tender, gentle, fatherly spirit, and a hap
py disposition that quickly won tlm
heart of anew acquaintance. His death
is sadly lamented by our community,
and thesympathy of all is deeper because
of the fact that he is so far away from
those most dear to him by kindred ties.
As we go to press, telegraphic corre
spondence is being had with his relatives,
as to the disposition of his remains.

Pine Tog t3ami>meetnig.
The annual campmeeting was held at
Pine Log, commencing August 15th, and
continuing ten days.
The attendance is said to have been
larger than ever before, and the meeting
unusually successful in every way. The
splendid order maintained throughout
was a subject of remark. The ill bred
roughs who sometimes disturb decent
people at similar meetings were not
there.
The people of Pine Log. noted for their
hospitality, did all in their power to
make it pleasant for everybody in at
tendance.
The preaching was plain, earnest,
spiritual, resulting in the awakening of
many, their conversion, and the addi
tion of quite a number to the church.
The eartnestness with which the people
went into the work was most refreshing
and helpful to the ministry.
The “boy singer" did good service,
and, though only twelve years old, his
voice could be heard above all the
singers. His name is Neal. He will at
tend the tabernacle meeting at Carters
ville in September.
Before the meeting closed a collection
was taken to raise money to build a
tabernacle at Pine Log, and the sum of
$ H)0 was raised ; a very liberal contribu
tion for the improvement of the camp
ground.
Our friend, Starling Roberts, of the
hrm of Roberts & Collins, brought in a
bale of new cotton last Saturday, 25th,
which is unusually-early for this section.
It was raised by this firm on the Gen.
Young plantation in this county.
The bale weighed 589 pounds; it was
bought by J. J. Howard, at 10 cents,
and classed strict low middling.
Mr. A. Snedaker also brought in a
bale of new cotton the same day, arriv
ing with it only a few minutes after Mr
Roberts’ bale was received.
It was a close race between two live
farmers.
