CARTEESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY. 17, 1887.
THE OLD COOPER WORKS.
THE PROPERTY SOON TO BE ALIVE
WITH ri'RXACES AXD ROLLING
MILLS.
Of Course the Balance of Our County Will
Fall Into Line.
The following special purporting to come
from Cartersville, will interest our people.
It was eyidently writteu by some one
familiar with the inside \roiking3 of the
syndicate purchasing the Etowah prop
erty:
The purchase of the immense tract of
minerals and agricultural lands, consisting
of 17,000 acres, known as the Etowah
property, located in this county, and with
in three miles of Cartersville, which was
briefly referred to in The Constitution a
few days ago, is attracting considerable
attention. Within the past week quite a
number of capitalists from the west have
been here looking at the property, and
wondering at the wealth that has remained
undisturbed lor so many years.
It is well known here that at the time
the property was sold to its present own
ers, four other syndicates were after it,
and since it has been sold it has been
learned by those interested; that the
property was bought at a great bargain,
as a handsome profit could be obtained
to-day if the syndicate now owning it de
sired to sell.
Much of the tract is covered with a
dense forest of oak and pine, which will
give art an abundance of fuel for all pur
poses that may be desired. These forests
will furnish an almost inexhuastible sup
ply of the very best qualty of charcoal.
A 1 though the company has owned the
property only about ten days, the con
struction of several enterprises have al
ready been determined upon. Among
them are two large charcoal chemical
furnaces which will be constructed at
once, together with a large furnace for
smelting manganese ore, and another for
smelting iron ore.
One of the largest enterprises to be es
tablished will be a rail mill for the manu
facture of steel rails. The plant
will cost $1,000,000
and will be equal in point of equipment
to any mill in the South. This mill will
be erected either here on the property, or
in Atlanta. Of course all Cartersville fa
vors the erection of the mili here, as the
importance of the enterprise cannot be
over-estimated.
Before the war a railroad four miles in
length which connected the Western &
Atlantic railroad with some of the mines
on the property was built. This road
was torn up by General Sherman. The
plan now on loot is to use the road bed
and extend the line through the tract so
as to giye ample transportation facilities
for every character of product that can be
taken out of the forest or from beneath
the ground. The coming week a compe
tent corps of engineers will locate the
proposed extension, and when they get
through the entire line will be constructed
as rapidly as possible.
TIIE MINERAL WEALTH.
While this work is in progress another
large force of hands will be employed in
the construction of smelting furnaces for
converting iron ore and manganese into
marketable products. Residents of Car
tersville and adjacent country, who have
been familiar with the Etowah property
since the first openings were made up to
the present time, say that the supply of
iron ore and manganese is beyond calcu
lation. Outcroppings have been found in
a'most every portion of the tract, equal in
quality to that of any mines in the south.
One of the most important features in
connection with the mineral wealth of
the property is the fact that the iron ore
varies in quality. Before the war a large
portion of the outDut of one of the mines
was used for making nails, which were
pronounced of the very best quality.
During the war a vast amount of mer
chant iron was manufactured, and most
of it was used for making horseshoes.
Atlanta Journal.
The recent purchase by a syndicate of
wealthy capitalists of the famous Etowah
property in Bartow county, consisting of
17,000 acres of the richest mineral lands
in this state, and probably in the south, is
attracting a great deal of attention in every
section where the purchase is known or
where the character of the property is un
derstood.
To-day a reporter of the Journal was
instructed to look into the matter and as
certain what the purchasers proposed do
ing in the way of developing the property.
Calling upon the president of the syndi
cate at his office the reporter said :
“What do you propose doing in the way
of development of the Etowah property ?”
“Why, we are going to open it up at
once and hope in a short time to have
acres of it blooming with manufacturing
enterprises. The first thing we are going
to do is to build a railroad through the
property. There is now an old roadbed
running through a portion of the tract.
This roadbed will be put in order and an
extension of the line ananged for. A
corps of engineers will go to work next
week and us soon as the line is located a
large force of hands will be strung out
along the line and the road built as rapid
ly as possible.”
“What else?”
“Well, we are going to lay out a town
on the property, and have built at once
several hundred houses, for the use of the
operatives who will be employed in
various ways in the enterprises to be
erected there.”
“Well, that’s good. Now' 'ie what
sort of enterprises will your 'any put
up.”
“Oh! as to that matter, there will be a
number of them. Their diversity will
only be regulated by the variety of prod
ucts that can be made from iron and steel.
In the first place, we are going to put up
two immense charcoal chemical furnaces,
a smelting mill for iron ore, and another
for manganese. A large portion of the
property is heavily wooded with a forest
of twenty-five years growth. Competent
judges, who have ridden over the proper
ty, estimate that there is wood enough on
it to last fifty years, and keep our char
coal furnaces amply supplied during that
time.”
“How about the extent of your ore
beds ?”
“Well, in answer to that question I
can only say that our supply of ore and
mauganese ore is absolutely exhaustless.
I don’t think we could use all of the ore
with fifty furnaces in one hundred years.
Ou the property are a variety of ores
from which any quality of iron or steel
can be made. Before the war there was
a nail mill on the property, the product
of which was sold extensively iu many
of the southern states. Their nails
showed qualities that aie possessed by
best wrought iron. Another mill ou the
property that made much reputation
before and during the war turned out an
excellent quality cf merchant iron. A
member of the old compauy told me a
few days ago, that during the war a
large quantity of the product of the iron
mill was used for makiug horse shoes.
But the most important enterprise that
we propose inaugurating in connection
with the development of this property is
the establishment of an immeuse rolling
mill for making railroad iron. This will
be located either on the property or iu
Atlanta. It is possible that we may
have two of them, one in this city and
ouc at Etowah. The mill that wo have
in contemplation will cost $1,000,000.
A careful analysis of the ores on our
property shows that we can make either
iron or steel rails equal in quality to
those made by auy mill ia tbe country.”
“Is there any stream running through
the tract to give you water power of
sufficient consequence to ruu other
enterprises ?”
“Well, I should sav so. The Etowah
river runs through the property for a
distance of four miles, and from the
upper to the lower end the fall is seventy
feet. The total power in this four
miles, if collected at one poiut, is 15,380
horse power, all of which cau be made
available at a nominal cost. With this
immense horse power and one endless
supply of charcoal, we are independent
of coat mines and coke furnaces.”
“Wifi any of the stock of this enter
prise bp placed on lhe market ?”
“Yes; eighteen hundred thousand
dollars ’worth of stock has been set aside
aud pliced in the hands of three trus
tees be gold at once, aud the proceeds
of the fetock will he devoted exclusively
to the improvement of the property.”
A HANDSOME HAUL
Made ou the L. S. L. I>y a Citizen of
Memphis.
Oncbf the luckiest citizens of Memphis,
perhaps, or one who has had as much
good fortune during the past thirty days
as any other, is William Palen, who for
some years has been employed as watch
man at the Mississippi and Tennessee de
pot, aad who in the last monthly drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery Company
held one tenth of the ticket which called
for the capital prize of $50,000. An Ava
lanche reporter met Palen.by chance }'e3-
terday and asked him how he stood pros
perity. “I take it pretty calmly,” he re
nlied, “and don’t know that my little for
tune will affect my ordinary way of living
much. I have "been working for many
years at a moderate salary, and have al
ways managed to make a good living.
This little stroke ot luck, however, will
help me along a greit dea’, of course. I
always thought, somehow or other, that
if I’d keep hammerin’ away at that lottery
I’d win something after awhile, end al
though I was always expecting it, I was
very much surprised when I found out all
of a sudden that I had won the $5,000.
All I had to do was to present the ticket
to the Commercial Bank here and the
money was paid over very promptly. I
intend to go into the grocery business, and
as I am not as young as I used to be, you
know I will try to make an easy living,
and use my snug little fortune in the best
way possible”—Memphis (Tenn.) Ava
lanche, Jan. 29.
The Experience of a Colored Man Who
Made SIO,OOO,
Chattanooga Times. 1
A. few days since a well known negro
man, who was the fortunate possessor of a
fine lot on one of the leading resident
streets of the city, sold his property for
SIO,OOO cash. He was giyon a check for
that amount which was carried in due
time to one of the banks. The paying
teller asked the negro how much of the
money he wanted in cash,
“I wants all that ’ar paper calls fur,” re
plied the negeo.
“What! You don’t want SIO,OOO in
cash ?”
“Jcsso, sail.”
“All right,” answered the man who
shuffles the bank bills, and in five minutes
he began piling the money on the coun
ter. As he laid the SSOO packets on the
counter the negro’s eyes began to grow
larger and larger, and finally when twenty
of the packages were placed before him
his eyes looked as large as moons. The
negro looked intently at the stack of
money for a moment and then, with a
broad grin on his face, said :
‘Tze jist paralyzed, boss; gimme $1.50
and you kin keep tie rest of that till I call
agin.”

A GEORGIA SENATOR ON WOMAN.
Woman’s suffrage i3 one of the annual
topics before Congress. Senator Brown
made a profound and earnest agument
against eranting the elective franchise to
women. In the course of hi3 speech he
said;
“Woman’s vitility is concentrated in
the brain and fructifies more in intel
lectual than in physical forms.”
He also remarked in the course of his
argument, “Now, women who do not
marry are one of two things; either they
belong to a class which we shrink from
naming, or they become old maids.” For
delicacy of phrasing, this only finds its
parallel in a message to Congress by
President Grant on the importation of
Chinese, in which he observed that
“women of that nationality were imported
for other purposes than, the propagation
of religion and morality.”
Our Senator has this also to say about
women who refuse the cares of married
life:
“An old maid may be in herself a very
useful ana commendable person and val
uable member of society ; many are all
this. But she has still this sad drawback,
she cannot perpetuate herself; and since
history and observation go to proye that
the great final end of creation, whatever
it may be, can only be achieved through
the perpetuity and increasing progress of
the race, it follows that unmarried women
is not the most necessary, the indispensa
ble type of w.yinan. If there were no
other class ot females left upon the earth
but the women who do not bear children,
then tlie world wou and be a failure, crea
tion would be nonplussed.”
WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS.
Philadelphia Evening Telegram ]
Ordinary human nature cannot stand
continual defeat and discouragement.
There is a limit to its endurance and its
energy. But not so with the woman
suffragists, especially the pioneers and
now veterans in the “cause.” Miss
Anthony, for instance, is just as bright,
lively, ho]' ful and determined as she
was a hall enturv or so ago, and doubt
less a centt t y lienee this good oid mother
in the cause of woman’s alleged emanci
pation from man’s cruel tyranny will be
hammering away at the doors of Con
gre s, pleading from the platform and
laboring with the perverse press with
the wonderful zeal that characterizes In r
work to-day. This remarkable Ameiican
woman is a product of our republican
civilization of which the nation ought to
be proud. Long may she live.
Henry Clews, the Wall staeet broker,
on Wednesday said : “The man who
can’t make milk and honey to live ou
out of the prosperity which is going to
prevail throughout this couutry for the
entire year 1887 ought to die for the
benefit"of his family. Henceforth it is a
bull year, with occasional healthy set
backs.”
Mother—pronouncing an enconium on
her daughter to a young man who is pay
ing attentions to her—“ She sings, plays on
the piano and on the harp, paints, under
stands logic, crochet, botany, English,
Italian and German, and, indeed, almost
everything. And what are your accom
plishments?” ‘‘l have none.” “What,
not any?” “Madam, I acknowledge that
if we were reduced to extremity, I believe
I should know how to do the cooking.”
TOO JIBS’ CHANCE.
Was the Georgian Offered the Confeder
ate Presidency.
From tlie Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle j
Mr. J. C. Derby, of New York, per
mits the editor of the Chronicle to make
public the following letter never before
iu print :
Beauvoir, Miss., Ist Sept. 1885.
J. C. Derby, Esq.:
My Dear Sir— Your kind letter in
closing a reported interview with Gen.
Robert Toombs, would have beeu soon
er acknowledged but for my absence
from home during a large part of last
month. The same cause with numer
ous engrossing engagements, will ex
plain to you why I have done nothing
on the work to which you allude.
The logic of Gen. Toombs’ remarks
will hardly commend itself to a severe
analysis. The conclusion to be drawn
from his view would be that a military
education unfitted a man for military
command, but qualified him for civil ad
ministration, and hence it would follow
that graduates of the military academy
should only be employed as civil magis
trates, ami that Generals for the army
should be sought for iu the literary
colleges, or perhaps in the theological
seminaries.
We had many distinguished Generals
whose previous life had beeu passed, as
we have eminent bishops, who were
bred as soldiers, but not therefc 3 in
either one case or the other.
With characteristic consistency he
finds the two men fitted to bo the Presi
dent of the Confederacy among tbe
graduates of West Point, So far very
good for his theory, but then he fiuds
Gen. U. S. Grant the greatest soldier
produced by the war. He was also a
graduate of our military academy, I
might retort on Mr. Toombs’criticism of
myself as a civil executive by reciting
his career as a soldier, but I forbear.
In regard to General Toombs having
refused the Presidency of the provision
al government of the Confederate
States, I must admit that he was in a
better position to know the facts of the
case than myself, as he was present
when the election was held, and, as a
member of the provisional Congress,
was a party to the canvass aud final
choice, while I was far away engaged iu
tie duties entrusted to me by the con
vention of Mississippi, by which I was
appointed Commander-iu-Chief of the
army of the State. It is a pity, however,
considering the reward due to the self
abnegation of Mr. Toom.ts, and to the
historical importance of the matter, that
he has not more specially stated iu wlmt
manner aud by whom the offer which he
declined was made to him, especially so
since others who, like Mr. Toombs, we. j
members of the Provisional Congre-s,
were present and participating in lhe
election, have published statements
which show that they were not aware
that the offer was made, which Mr.
Toombs, in his self-denial, decline 1.
Should you feel interest in looking far
ther into the matter you will find some
of the published statements of members
of the Provisional Congress at pp. 236 fct
seq., vol. 1, “Rise and fall of lhe Con
federate Government.”
I£l have inflicted upon you a longer
letter than was expected or desired, on a
subject of so little general interest, you
must attribute it to your friendly mani
festations, amt believe me respectfu iy
and truly yours,
Jefferson Davis.
A Mulatto Aristocrat.
London Truth.]
In the advertisement columns of the
Cape Times of December 22d appears the
following notice :
Lord Stamford wishes publicly to state,
that in consequence of the numerous ap
plications for pecuniary aid he ha? re
ceived, that he is no money lender; at the
same time, as he keeps no company, he
desires no visits at either of his residences,
Wynberg or Muzenberg.
Lord Stanford, who succeeded to the
earldom a few years ago, on the death of
the late Lord Stamford and Warrington,
has long been a resident in South Africa.
He inhabits a wigwam of currugated iron
at Wynberg and has a stone-built bunga
low' on the seashore at Muzenberg. He
married a black wife, and has by her a ;
dusky daughter, Lady Mary Grey, who,
when she arrives at the years of discre
tion, will be, no doubt, a unique, if not
welcome addition to the ranks of the up
per ten thousand at home. Let us hope
that his lordship will have a son by the
Hottentot countess. It would make a nice
change in the house of lords, where, of
course he would sit as one of our heredi
tary legislators.
HOW TO TAKE LIFE.
Take it like a man.
Take ifi as it is—an earnest, vital, es
sential affair. Take it just as though
you were born to the task of performing
a merry part iu it—as though tlie world
had waited for your coming. Take it as
though it was a grand apportunity to
achieve ; to carry forward great and
good schemes, to hold and cheer a
weary, it may be, heart-broken brother.
The fact is, life is undervalued by a
great majority of mankind. It is not
made half as much as should be tbe
case. We can look back on opportuni
ties lost; plans unachieved, thoughts
crushed, and all caused from lack of
necessary aud possible effort. If wo
kuew better how to take aud make tlie
most of life, it would be greater than
it is.
Now and then a man stands aside from
the crowd, labors earnestly, steadfastly,
confidently, and straightway becomes
famous for wisdom, ’admired, idolized ;
aud yet it only illustrates what each may
do if he only takes hold of life with a
purpose.
If a man but says he will and follows
it up, there is nothing iu reason he may
not expect to accomplish.

A Humorous and Interesting Decision
Rendered by Cliief Justice RJeckly.
Albany News 1
Tho following decision rendered by
Judge Bleckly, one day last week, is said
to have made everybody in the court room
smile when it was read, and the News ,
and Advertiser is indebted to one of the
prominent lawyers in attendance for a i
copy of it for publication :
Stevens vs. the State. In the Supreme
Court of Georgia. Simp e Larceny.
From Early county. Decided February
Ist, ISS7. Bleckly, C. J.
1. In the house hog bones, in the gar
den hog hair, hog entrails, hog meat
buried in the earth; refusal of occupant of
the premises to permit a search without
legal warrant; his abrubt departure from
home whilst the warrant was being pro
cured; his flight or retreat to a point
more than fifty miles distant, and his
continuous absence until arrested and
brought back for trial, are strongly sug
gestive of a suspicious intercourse on his
part with some hog or other. The jury
were of the opinion that it was the hog
described in the indictment, and, as he
was a near neighbor to that hog, and as
b disappeared about that time, and as its
owner went in search of it as a stolen
hog, and as the hair and. meat fmnd
buried in the garden looked like tho hair
and meat of that hog, it is highly probable
that the jury was not mistaken.
2. Complaint is made that a witness
was al.owed to testify that the owner was
hunting for the animal “as a stolen hog,”
and so he was, undoubtedly, lie would
not want to look in a dwelling house or
under the ground for a stray hog; and
such were the places searched. Ilow the
witness ascertained that the owner re
garded it as stolen, whether from acts
alone, or from declaration and acts togeth
er, does not appear; but if the prisoner or
his counsel had wanted to learn this the
witness ought to have been interrogated
on the source of his knowledge. He tes
tified as if he knew the fact somehow,
and if he knew it he could state it as ex
planatory of the mode and purpose of the
search. He was present at the search
and conducting it on the owner’s behalf.
Moreoyer, the prisoner himself was pres
ent, face to face with the owner, when
the inyestigat'on began, and when steps
were taken to enter upon the search in
due legal authority. lie could have had
no doubt that the owner avas looking for
stolen property. Any man who inters
his pork may expect the late departed
hog to be* hunted for as stolen, If it is
hunted for at all on his premises.
The bill in favor of City-Sergeant J.
Smith, of Richmond, against the com
monwealth for h inging Thos. J. Cluve
rius, which was presented to Auditor
Marye, contained the following i f ema:
For labor (scaffold) $11; for rope, $25;
for suit of clothes, S2O; for lumber, $9.25;
for cape, $1.50; for silk for cap, 30e.; lor
making same, 75c.; for cap and rope,
$1 50; for saw dust and haulms', 75c.;
for scaffold built by Farrar. sls; f'>r Tal
iaferro’s bill for lumber, $1 80; f >r hang
ing fee, $5; total, $141.92. The capo
referred to is what the newspapers called
“a waterproof circular.” The reason
there are two charges for scaffold is that
Sergeant Smith had the Henrico scaffold
rebuilt; and then finding its use would
produce litigation, he abandoned it and
bad anew one erected. A mau in Roan
oke has written, asking for the sole
agency in Ins section of the book written
by Ciuverius. The jail authorities are
daily in receipt of letters asking for
leaves, from the geranium which was
owned by Ciuverius or for relics from
anything else that belonged to him. Tim
effects of Lillian Madison are still in the
hands of Sergeant Smith. Tae murder
ed girl’s father wrote a few days after the
execution saying that he would oall for
the things, but he has never put in an
appearance.

saw in a portable saw-mill on the ftirm of
I. D. Wright, a wealthy farmer living
eight miles from California, Mo., flew to
pieces yesterday, one part of it cutting

and killing him instantly, and another
piece carried away part of the head of
Miss Thompson, a young lady who had
gone to the mill to call the men to dinner.
She died from her wound.
We are sure that the sufferer with Piles
who gives Tabler’s Buckeye Ointment a
trial will experience a complete cure, and
go on his way rejoicing that there is a
remedy for Piles, composed of simple in

excellent preparation more completely
than all the so called Pile remidies in ex
istence.
Disease is no respecter of persons, and
there is something about an effectual
remedy for it that appeals to common
humanity characterized by the highest
intellect, or simplest intelligence, and
which possesses an interest alike for rich
and poor. Such is Coussens’ Honey of
Tar, a well tried remedy for coughs, colds
and diseases of throat and luDgs.

costume was grotesque in the extreme.
He was a chief, and is said to haye been a

The capital stock of the Atlanta Con
stitution has been increased from one
hundred thousand to one million dollars.
This was done on account of the increas

the stock will b: offered for rale, as the
present stockholders wi ! take it up them
selves, having made enough out of their
dividends to do so.
It is understood that an effort is being

known what he will do. It is believed
that he has a desire to retire from the

The Ellijav Courier publishes an ac
count of a brutal assault made upon Jno.
E. Newberry and wife, of Gilmer county,
Sunday night of last week, by three dis
guised men, with a lamp, a double bar
relled shotgun and a 38 calibre Smith &
Wesson pistol. The mask was jerked off
two of the men, but their names have not
been made public yet. The cause of the
trouble was not leirned, but (t i3 suppos
ed to have its origin in blockading. The
assasins left a note on the side of the road
threatening to kill any who brought the
matter before the court.
The Ellijay Courier, of last week, says :
“We understand that Mr. Bagei, of the
Marietta aud North Georgia, has leased
the Ducktown copper mines tor twenty
years, and will operate them as soon as a
branch road is constructed to that aban
doned mineral deposit. The contracts
for crosstics on this arm of the main line
have been let out, and 500 hands will be
put to work on it so soon as the iuclement
weather will permit permanent arrange
ments. This road will start from Dickey’s
in Fannin county, and will be some eight
or ten miles long. When this huge mine
is worked, millions of money will accrue
to the operators. We learn also that 500
hands will be put on the extension of the
Marietta and North Georgia to hasten the
road onto Murphy. When the winter
fairly breaks that section will be a scene
of lively interest.”
The Gumming Clarion is informed by
Mr. S. Terry, who spent last week in Bu
ford, on the Air Line rai road, of a case
which rivals the celebrated Lula Hurst,
lie, in company with a well known min
ister of that place, visited the home of a
little child nine years old, and who is
rather undersized. They had heard of
the child’s powers and desired to put
them to the test. Mr. Terry siw the child
lay one hand' on the top of a tble and
move around the room with it as though
it were a mere plaything. An ordinary
child of that age could hardly have moved
the table at all. Mr. Terry, who is quite
muscular, then took hold of a stout stick,
grasping it at each end ; the child placed
her hands on the stick in the middle and
before he knew it the sticu w r as wrenched
out of his grasp. This experiment wa3
tried a second time Mr. Terry exerting
his whole strength to hold it, with the
same result. A door, which fastened
with a button, was then closed and a per
son placed outride to push against it. By
simp'y placing her hands on the door the
button gradually moved until the door
was unfastened. It is said that w’hen she
touches the wall that a person placing
his ear against the opposite side can hear
a clicking sound resembling the noise
made by a telegraph instrument. It is
stated, and can he proven, that small
stones frequently fall in showers arontul
her wiiile she is in the house. No one
can tell w r here they come from. Also,
that in w hatever part of a room she is in
a popping sound is heard apparently in
the wood. These are only a few of the
feats the child is able to perform. She
has had bad health and is not considered
bright, but there can be no sort of doubt
as to her pow'ers.
