COURANT- AMERICAN. r-vxTsliol.a. Ertry 'Z’lvu.xsa.a.sr. CAHTKBISVIL.I.K, GEORGIA. Official Onaa of Bartuw County. SS, J Editar ,nd Piopf;ttoft THURSDAY, MAY 5, 18H7. The Presidentof the republic of France enjoys the princely Hillary of SIBO,OOO annually. West Virginia began on last Tuesday to ballot for a Senator. This in a re ii' ural of the content of last winter, and promises to beeqmilly an stubborn. Dan Lamont and Gov. Hill had a se cret caucus in N**\v York Sunday, the purpose of which, it is said, was to de termine who’s to head the democratic ticket next year, Mr. Cleveland or Mr. inn. The good jieople of Floyd county will make another effort thin year to rid themnelveH of the liquor traffic. The chances are said to be much more favor nlile to them than when the question was l ist vot.nl upon. A taiu latki) statement of the growth of Chattanooga, for the past year, shows an addition of working capital in the sum of $2,308,500; the increase in the numbers of hands employed by 2,420; the growth in value of total output by over $5,000,000; an advance of $752,- 000 in the total wages account. These figures are indications of marvelous pro gress for this growing young city. The demand for Mrs. Cleveland's pho tographs is as active as it was at the time that lady first entered the white house as its mistress. The photographer who persuaded her to give him sittings for twenty-five negatives last summer has sold over 50,000 and is still printing them at the rate of 200 a day. He thinks Hint when the full year of sales is up 100,000 of his pictures will be sold. The net profit for the first eight months after the negatives were taken was $7,000, al most as mueh as the president received for a year’s servi e as governor of New York. What portion of this goes to Mrs. ( leveland, if any, the photographer omits to mention, but a man shrewd enough to secure the sittings would not be apt to overlook the matter of caring for most of the profits himself. The fact that Prof. I’roctor and other eminent scientist have predicted that the supply of coal oil in the northern part of this country will soon be exhausted leads the New Orleans Tiines-Democrat to ex press the opinion that cotton seed oil mist, in time, take its place to a large extent. It says: “There is a possibility that ]x*troleum may be found in paying, if not in large quantities, in the coal re gions of the gout h. There have been sev eral evidences of it here, but the search lias not been as thoroughly made as it should hav • been. Another point to be considered in this matter is whether the exhaustion of the petroleum supply of the eonntry and the scores of other products which come from petroleum will not have some elTec t in advancing the value of other oils, and particularly vegetable oils like the product of the cotton seed. Petroleum took the place of the whale when the w hales were killed off: will not cotton seed oil follow it in time? The c Eton seed crop of the south is able to day to produce half ub much oil as the petroleum wells of Pennsylvania.” OUR BOOM AND TUB LAND COM PA NY. In referring to Cartersville’s boom, in liiKt week's issue, our reporter in speak - ingot the agreement l>etween the Land and Improvement- Company and the Eto wah Iron and Manganese Company, was in error in saying that the contract by which tho latter company Imd obligates] it self to erect furnaces, etc., had keen “signed and sealed.’’ While this is not the case, yet, it is true that the terms of agreement are fully understood ami are in writing ready to be signed up just as soon as the land company is in u condition to comply with its part of the contract, this, it is hoped, they will soon be able to do. The company is now fully organized, and the plans upon which it is to be conducted are agreed upon. When all the stock of the company has be-n subscribed for, then opeiations will b gin. The promoters of the enterprise have been extremely careful and cautious in arranging every detail of its organiza tion. They have formulated a scheme that iH, in many respects, sujterior to any similar undertaking in the south. It commends itself to capital, as affording a save field for investment. Indeed, so well has the plan on whichjits business will be conducted been r.rranged that it barely premits of a possibility of loss, but gives every reasonable promise of handsome returns to stockholders. Now, we want to impress upon the minds of the citizens of Cartersville that this company, which can be made the means of aceoniplishing great things for cur town, will not be a success unless it receives more substantial encouragement than some of than have given it. If it fails it can only be attributed io the lack of interest manifested by tl e n. We again appeal to our people not to sit with folded hands and delude them selves, by every favorable indication, into sanguine expectations or false hopes. If you ]s*rsist in so doing you will prob ably let pass an opportunity that will be hard to recall. Remember that a few men, however zealous they may be, can not develope a great enterprise that must directly or indirectly put money into your pockets, without your sympathy and aid. Its success dejtends largely upon every man coming up to the full measure of his strength in whatever way he cun. Then, we venture the prediction, that Cartersville will experience a boom beyond the expectations of the most san guine. We have not written this in the light of discouragement, on the contrary, we believe Cartersville’s outlook was never brighter, but to remind her citizens what their duty is in the premises. Joshua Baker, a Mormon elder, arrived in Chicago the other day, accompanied by three wives and eight children. He was on his way to Alabama to preach his creed, but the hard hearted Chicago police thought he had too many wives and so they arrested him on the charge of bigamy and locked him up. He doubtless wishes he had left his family at home. “ For Vice President—Grady.” * We print elsewhere an editorial of the New York Herald advising the Demo cratic party to nominate “our Henry” for Vice President in 1888. We desire to second the suggestion. If the “Solid South” does not demand his nomination it will Is* proof conclusive that indcisi “a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and in his own house.” Mr. Grady stands before the country as the accepted representative and exponent of the patriotism, the progress, the pres cut and the future of the new South. W. venture the opinion that he is the only Southern man whose name would lend any strength to the ticket in the doubtful Northern stab's. His nomination would Is* accepted by the country at large ns an indorsement by the Sontlf of those patriotic and statesmanlike utterances which have already made his name fa mous. Itwould silence the bloody-shirt or ato s, whose hope is to revive, to some extent, the lingering passions of the war. As the foremost representative of h<r peace, her patriotism and her progrt ss, the new South would do well to present his name and insist upon his nomination. Such action would be the most conclus.ve proof possible that we have quit the ruts of fifty years ago to take to the asphalt of the nineteenth century. How long shall we hug the delusion that none but the lean and slippered pantaloon must fill high office? How long shull we pin our faith alone to “lawyers?” Dehold the certainty of their work in our inter state commerce bill. Tennyson could have done better. When the verdict of the w hole country is that Mr. Grady did more in twenty minutes to establish a clear understand ing of the condition, the attitude and the purposes of the South than her whole delegation in congress accomplished in twenty years, it behooves us to consider candidly whether such work does not merit the eompletest recognition possible for the South to return. “Cleveland and Grady! It sounds well. Suppose we nail that flag to the masthead, and clear the decks for battle. What say our brethren of the press? RAISE HORSES. The Macon Telegraph makes some sug gestions to the farmers on the subject of horse raising that are worth their con sideration. It says: Now that the planters of the south seem to have token anew hope and enterprise they should pay attention to a most important and profitable industry. Every farmer cannot have a stock farm, hut almost every farmer ean keep a brood mare or two with advantage. Within the last week sales of blood yearling's have taken place at several points in Kentucky and Tennessee. We append a couple of averages. Sixteen colts $ ;>l ‘ Eighteen fillies -- Sixteen colts total 8,275 (HI Eighteen fillies total 9. 400 (H) Thirty-five colts and fillies '>l9 Bi> Thirty-five colts and fillies total 17,675 Oh Five colts 2,642 00 Ten fillies 578 00 Five colts total ll.ilO 00 Ten fillies total 5.780 00 Ffteen colts and fillies 1.160 00 Fifteen colts and fillies total 17,490 00 At one sale the Dwyer Brothers paid over six thousand dollars for a yearling colt by Ten Broeck. He may turn out to be worth less than sixty dollars, but this will be the misfortune of the purchasers, not the man who raised and sold him. If, on the contrary, he should develop great form, stamina and speed at his debut, he will be worth sixty thousand, and will he safe to bag more than a hundred thousand in stakes. A colt of good pedigree, sixe and points that can come to our state fair and run three-quarters of a mile in his two-year-old form, with weights up, 1:16, will sell for more than the cotton crop of any farmer in Georgia. But all colts well bred and well raised will command handsome prices. The days of divine worship in primi tive buildings are not yet entirely passed. The congregation of the Reformed church of Campbell county, Dakota, has built a church of sods, eighteen by tweenty fret high. The roof is also made of sods, which are laid on limbs of trees. Each side has three windows, and a door at one end. The walls inside are plastered with a mixture made of clay and flax straw, a plaster with which the Russians of Dakota plaster their houses and stables inside and out. The pews are made of rough boards placed on blocks of mud, and the pulpit is a one hundrad pound coffee box, which serves as a platform, and a few rough boards in the shape of a desk. There is no floor in this church except the virgin Hoil. On this church there is still a small debt for windows and doors. And during the winter just pass sl the worshipers participated in all the services, though a few blazing logs, the heat from which was insufficient, furn ished the only contrast to the biting blasts of a northwestern winter. And as regularly as the Sabbath comes the little fioek assembles to a man, not a fair weather Christian being known for miles around. E. W. Petts, a convict iu camp near Albany, writes to the Principal Keeper oj the Penitentiary giving a graphic his tory, well written, of his life. He asserts that he was once a highly esteemed cit izen of Hall county, w ith a happy family, but was led into crime by wicked meft, who blighted his life and ruined his home. He is very repentant and will reform when he gets out. He suggested if liis .sentence is commuted to four or live years he will furnish evidence to capture eleven long-term convicts, mentioning their names, crimes, sentence and the date of escape, and will further furnish evidence to convict a dozen or more des ]>erate criminals who have never been apprehended. Petts was convicted under divers aliases iu Lumpkin county in ISH4 for horse stealing, ami sentenced to twelve years. He escaped last year but was caught and four years were ad ded to his sentence. Col. Towers will in vestigate his proposition. A syndicate composed of Evan Howell, Henry Grady and others, of Atlanta, to gether with James A. Benson, E. Y. Hill, and (’apt. W. G. Cade, of Washington, have purchased a tract of land consist ing of HO or more acres from L. A. Moore, which lies adjoining the Hillman well. A pit has bet>n dug ou this preperty and water found which is said to possess all the alleged qualities of the Hillman well. It is said that these gentlemen will build a line hotel there, laying off a fine driving park in the beautiful valley just below the Hillman hill, and make other mcessary improvements. The purchasers a e not at present, however, quite certain as to what they will do. There is no question, however, of the fact that the trade for the laud has been con summated. The New York Sun, in discussing the country editor’s trials and tribulations, says: “If country newspaper proprietors were to publish the names of the sub scribers who take, read and enjoy and are gratified by, yet refuse to pay for their home paper, the reputation of most c immunities for moral honesty would depreciate twenty per cent.

All ordinary reme dies failing, we called our family physician, who attempted to cure it; but it spread with almost inerediale rapidity, until the lower portion of the little fellow's person, from the middle of his back down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly, pain ful, blotched, and malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace b.v day. Finally, we were advised to try the Cuticuba Bemedies, The effect was simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a com plete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow s person as white and healthy as though he huil never been attacked. In mv opinion, your valu able remedies saved his life, and to-day he Is a strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition of the disease having ever occurred. GEO. B.
