Mayor Glenn, of Atlanta, delivered
an inaugural address on taking his seat
for the first time, that is attracting con
siderable attention. He recommends
many reforms, and seems to be backed
up by a united public sentiment. His
only mistake is in trying to “regulate”
the bar rooms, instead ol abolishing
them. A hundred years experience in
this country has clearly demonstrated
the fact that there is no such thing as
regulating the whisky traffic.

The mayor and council of Marietta are
warring against blind tigers. During the
last week several parties, mostly colored,
have been arrested for selling whisky in
violation, of the prohibition law. In
every case Mayor Glover has imposed a
fine of $25 and costs. We know other
towns that might put money in the
treasury by treeing blind tigers. They
are easily treed, but as old Uncle Luke
said about the coon, “it takes a keen eye
an’ a sarchin scent to fotch ’em to de
clinchin’ pint.
ONE Ol' TfIKKH —A N IMPORTANT
TRUTH.
The long latent mineral wealth of Bar
tow county is fast becoming known, and
the merely incipient moves in its devel
opment now being made will soon broaden
into stupendous undertakings, if thesigns
of the times are not very deceptive. Our
iron ores that in many places lie yet un
touched in vast quantities assay out
double the value of any others to be
found in this section. Besides these the
manganese deposits have had their im
portance fully made known to those
alone who have handled the ores in and
for an active market. As the chief expo
nent of the great mineral, as well as the
other advantages of Bartow county, the
Courant-Amekican takes great {aide and
pleasure in presenting the fact just furn
ished to a journal ranking high as an
au thori ty on inining matters by a miueral
ogist conversant with all things pertain
ing to devefopments of the recent past,
that Crimora (Virginia), Cartersville
(Georgia), and Batesville (Arkansas),
furnish practically all the manganese
ores mined in the United States.
While there has been a constant and
persistent search for new deposits of
manganese during the past year, no new
development of any importance has been
reported. Indeed, some localities re
garded as quite promising a year or two
ago, have proved to be of little value,
and the chief production is still confined
to the localities that have been noted as
manganese producers for many years.
The extensions of the iron ore regions in
the Lake Superior district, in which it
was hoped deposits of manganese ores
might be found, have so far produced
only insignificant quantities of an ore
with more than 44% per cent, of metallic
manganese, the ehiet product being a
manganiferous iron ore containing from
4to 10 per cent. There are somewhat
encouraging prospects of, the discovery
of manganese ore in North Carolina, and
also in Western Arkansas. Yet the fact
is still true, as above stated that three
points furnish the manganese of the
country, and one of these is Cartersville.
The Engineering and Mining Journal,
of New York, in reviewing the movements
in iron markets for the year past, gives
the cheering information that the sellers
of Southern irons have made tmn-h
progress in the introdin-tion of their
foundry irons to Northern and Eastern
consumers. Prejudice and the opposi
tion of Northern makers had to be over
come. and an exact system of grading
had to be tstabhshed. But it is now
freely admitted that Southern irons are
an important factor in the market, and
that only well situated and well managed
modern furnaces in the North can hold
their own against the competition of the
new Southern furnaces with their advan
tage of proximity to all raw materials.
The new Southern furnaces are practi
cally all in blast, and sixteen have been
put into blast, or are nearly completed
during* the year.
In Washington it is common belief that
Presidential postmasters whose Repub
lican predecessors were allowed to serve
out their terms will not be disturbed by
the coming Administration. And it is
also common belief that Presidential
postmasters whose Republican predeces
sors were bounced will Suffer a like fate.
There is nothing authoritative on which
to base this belief, but it seems to be
recognized as in accord with the fitness
of thing’s by the Democratic leaders there,
who are anxious to keep their friends in
office as long as possible*
The old soldiers and their friends
should thank Major Foute for the work
he is doing toward the passage of the
“soldier’s bill.” It is a shame that the
Empire State has done so little for our
disabled veterans. The general govern
ment takes care of the Federal veterans,
and the Southern States should at least
see that our Confederate veterans do
not suffer. A more self-sacrificing, braver
army never fought for any cause, and
now to allow those who are disabled to
suffer because we failed is downright
meanness.
Frank Leslie’s Sunday Magazine for
February.
contains several exceedingly interesting
and finely illustrated articles which are
bound to attract attention. In these
days of Shakespeare controversy, Mr.
Acher’s “What is Known About Shake
speare,” with its faithful pictures, will
prove especially valuable. Walter
Edgar McCann writes a readable article
about Annapolis, Md., calling it “A
Finished City.” Here too, the illustra
tions are of actual scenes in the quaint
old city. Emma Raymond Pitman’s
“Palestine; its Social Condition and
Missionary Aspects,” continues the record
of missionary work, and the article and
pictures on “Summer Resorts in Aus
tralia” draw a striking contrast between
the snow and ice of our climate and the
sunshine and flowers of the Australians
at the same time of the year. “The
Home of Jeanne d'Arc” revives the
memory of that heroic girl, and “Two
Famous Scotch Abbeys” will send readers
to their Scott’s novels to refresh their
memeries. Besides these, there are the
usual installments of stories, and several
beautiful poems, together with a number
of copies of famous paintings, which are
always to be found in this magazine.

TID BITS OF THIS AND THAT.

Duly Depicted.
Out of th*? May Odds and Fnds-Obser
vations Through Omnifarious Optics
by “Observer.”
What occurs to me to have been the
most forcible bit of advice to those who
attempt to write that 1 ever read was
this: “Shoot the preface.’’ Although
aiming at brevity of style and the acquir
ingofthe art of condensation have been
persistently urged upon all who would ply
the quill, there is, nevertheless, much of
the writing of the present day that is
mushy. I have noticed the writings of
some so-called genuises, who now and
then brought forth a gem sparkling* in
merit, that you might weigh up at times
and not find an impressive thought in a
ton’s weight, so to speak, of the volumi
nous stuff. Then, like the oration that
by the thrills it produces among lis
teners, because of some entrancing senti
ment, precludes in what might have been
critical minds the recognition of some
glaringgrammatical blunder or woful dis
tortion of a sentence, I have known
the writings of a very slouch, as he
might be termed by his awkward ties j in
composition, in the very interest they
evoked, appear without a blemish, al
most, to the better as well as the poorer
learned. Now, grammar or no gram
mar, wealth of sentiment or barrenness
of the same, much depends upon mood,
and though Boswell said: “A man may
write at any time if he will set himself
doggedly to it,” the one who attempts
to till a given space with regularity will
now and then iind the task '‘doggedly”
hard, Boswell k ‘to the contrary,” etc., ii
need be, and this I expect to realize.
But, lest I appear in the light ot inconsis
tency, posing as a builder of prefaces
which somebody will want to shoot, I
will risk some further haplmzzard pen
shots, not venturing even to proclaim as
did a certain editor, “it you like our
writing, say so, ami if you don’t, say
so,” for he received the unwelcome de
claration from a too critical contempo
rary, “to tie* latter, we say, emphati
cally, ‘so!’ ”
The firearm that is heavily charged,
when it goes off rebounds; so after every
swell of exciting experience comes a re
aetion. in the midst of thereactory calm
following the lively scenes of the holi
days come up to my mind forcibly the
remarks of Prof. Stewart on Thanks
giving’s evening. Said he, in the course
of his beautiful sermon, “In all our joys
we ought to think of God the giver,” and
proceeded to a criticism none too severe
of the modes of celebrating the several
holidays that ought to be observed in
a way beautifully and reverentially typi
cal of the events their annual coming
commemorates. “Our thanksgiving
day,” said he, “is celebrated with the
common tendency to a general course of
jollity. We meet with a few of our friends
at a diuner of turkey and pass the day
in lively conversation and often revel,
not thinking of God, whose finger guid
ing the revolution brought the event
on which the day was instituted. Our
Easter observance consists of a meal of
boiled eggs for the children, and little
else. Fourth of July is witnessed a few
flags, a few yells are heard, some big
heads from drunks are experienced and
the day is duly signalized. Our Christ
mas is passed with the sipping of egg
nogg, the burning ot fire works and
hunting and general sport.” If we in
truth live in a progressive age, some re
forms right along here might be started
during this year of grace.
Sitting in Capt. Calhoun’s office re
cently while he hunted for some railroad
paper, I noticed that an old looking bit
of card board he had suddenly espied in
his search claimed his attention. Find
ing a small pile of them together, he
threw one of them to me. I found it to
be schedule No., 1 of the Cherokee Rail
road. While the present schedule of the
road (now the East and West) is in the
form of a book of eight pages, not in
cluding the board backs, and gives the
times of arrivals and departures of six
trains at twenty-seven stations, this
little schedule shows only four trains and
nine stations. Two of .Jhe trains —
freights—ran only between Taylorsville
and Cedartown. At that time, January
Ist, 1880, the track was broad gauge
from Cartersyille to Taylorsville, and
narrow gauge from the latter place to
Cedartown, and a trip from one to the
other terminus necessitated a change
of cars, and the time required for the
journey was four hours, speed being nine
miles an hour. I remember that the lit
tle old rickety red caboose called a pas
senger coach that was used then on the
narrow gauge part of the road the first
time I saw it impressed me as being the
most woe-begone looking excuse for a
car that I had ever beheld. The seats
ran the long way of the concern at the
sides, the whole thing inwardly and out
wardly exhibited a signal need of fresh
paint. It tottered along a way that
caused a continual fear in the mind of the
passenger that it would actually fall to
pieces. When it had fully served its day
it was pushed on to a switch close to the
creek at Cedartown, where it stood in a
process of decay for several years, and
was finally swept away by a freshet. The
road has vastly improved since 1880
and I hope that in ten years more it will
make a stride forward equaling that of
the past ten years. Observer.
WECAT IS
SCROFULA
It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro
duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesta
tions usually ascribed to “humors;” which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few-persons are entirely free from it.
TbT cured
By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“ My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months
old till she became six years of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one of them after
growing to the size of a pigeon’s egg, became
a running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hood’s Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy
child.” J. S. Carlile, Nauright, N. J.

Lynching in ISinninghaup
George Meadows, a negro, was lynched
at the Pratt mines, near Birrninghan,
Ala., on the morning of the 15th inst.
The brute had outraged a Mrs. Kellnm,
wife of an engineer, and killed her little
son who accompanied her at the time.
A number of negroes were arrested and
carried before the lady, and she readily
said “not the man,’’ until the above was
brought before her, when he was prompt
ly identified. He was then carried out
and swung up to a limb. The colored
people wanted to lynch him, because they
said he had outraged a colored girl.
Sheriff Smith said that no warrant for
the arrest of George Meadows, the negro
lynched this morning, had ever been
placed in his hands. He says if a war
rant for the negro had been given him,
he would have brought the negro to the
city and protected him if it required all
tlie military in the city to do it. Mr.
Smith says that he thinks the mob has
lynehsd the wrong man. He says he has
a negro in jail now who he believes is the
right man.

What “Peculiar” Means.
Applied to Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the
word Peculiar is of great importance.
It means that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is
different from other preparations in
many vital points, which make it a
thoroughly honest and reliable medicine.
It is Peculiar, in a strictly medicinal
sense; first, in the combination of reme
dial agents used ; second, in the propor
tion in which they are prepared; third,
in the process by which the active cura
tive properties of the medicines are
secured. Study these points well. They
mean volumes. They make Hood’s Sar
saparilla Peculiar in its curative powers,
as it accomplishes wonderful cures
hitherto unknown, and which give to
Hood’s Sarsaparilla a clear right to the
title of “The greatest blood purifier ever
discovered.” til feb 14

The New Southern Boom.
Atlanta Constitution.
The “boom” towns of the South are
thrilling with new life, and the chances
are that the present year will see the
beginning of one of those dizzy climb
ings in which mortal things get out of
mortal reach!
AYe welcome the coming of the boom!
AYc are not'of those who despise these
mercurial visitors. They waste some
fortunes and build up others. Perhaps
they wreck as many private fortunes as
they establish. But they attract capital,
excite tremendous activity, and when
iheir swift waves recede they disclose
enormous improvements that hold fast
and are not swept back to sea!
Of the coming boom two things may
be noted. Its area will be widened.
What a half dozen Alabama towns
monopolized a few years ago a score of
towns will now share. The area of ac
tivity will shift; over to Georgia and in
clude at least Rome, Cartereville, the
Polk county toyvns, and the Marietta
and North Georgia region upward to
Tennessee, and include several new and
old towns. The Piedmont region, run
ning clear up to West Virginia, will take
part in the new movement. The quick
ening effects will of course be indirectly
felt by the entire South, and such cities
as Atlanta, which, like New York, is too
big for a boom, will be helped thereby.
Not only will the area be widened, but
the resources of the new boom will be
wider. Formerly it was iron and coal.
To these must now be added marble, pine
and the hard woods, copper and gold.
Formerly it was simply iron furnaces.
Now it will be factories, mills, shops.
Where there was one dependence there
will now be a score. The best sign of
prosperity is the new cities, instead of
shipping out their pig iron at $lO a ton,
are converting it into products worth
from SSO to SI,OOO a ton. When it was
announced that Annistou’s shops and
mills would consume the entire output of
her furnaces we felt that her greatness
was assured. Birmingham and the
other cities are now working up to the
same basis. The next “boom" will be a
bigger and more enduring one than we
have ever seen!
In the meantime we invite attention to
the reports from the Alabama “boom”
centers which we print elsewhere in the
Constitution. They are hopeful and full
of promise and activity.
One Fact
Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an
American statesman. It is a fact, estab
lished by the testimony of thousands of
people, that Hood's Sarsaparilla does
cure scrofula, salt rheum, and other
diseases or affections arising from im
pure state or low condition of the blood.
It also overcomes that tired feeling,
creates a good appetite, and gives
strength to every part of the system.
Try it.
