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.” 4♦ 4 ■ 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.

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.

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.

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.
