COURANT-AMERICAN. 3£-rrexy Til.Miaa.a3r. CAKTKKSVII.J.K, GEOKGIA. Official Orpa of Bartow Coanty. THURSDAY, JULY 28. 1887. - 1 Reports have lieen received in London announcing the <lnath of Stanley, tin* African explorer. Reports have been con dieting and many doubt the state ment. Says the Boston Herald: “The man* nor in which leading southern newspa pers have treated this battle-flag busi ness, shows more sense as well as a truer patriotism than those who ‘slopped over' in their ‘palsying' operations, or streamed out Otherwise for the purposees of party capital at the north. The south ha-* a calm consciousness that the Union is restored, and is disposed to accord not much notice to people who would strive to make it appear otherwise.” The Chicago communists, those who n:*e not under sentence of death for mur der, are said to l*e contemplating immi gration to San Domingo. An agent has be;u five months on the island studying its climate, resources and general ad vantages as a home, for the fellows who desire to l>e a law unto themselves. It is claimed that twenty-five families are ready to go, ahdthat a good many more will follow, if money enough can be raised to pay their expenses. The jieople of Chicago are to l>e congratulated upon the probability of getting rid of these red-handed disturbers of the ]>eace. But are the residents of San Domingo guilty of any crime, that they should t nus be afflicted? The New York Journal of Commerce furnishes some very thoughtful sugges t ions on the subject of immigration, which the Macon Telegraph deems wor lh.v of consideration by the members of the legislature. It says: “The marvel ous growth of the country in population anil material wealth is largely due to im migration. What are a rich soil, and great lielts of timiier lauds, and thick veins of coal, and huge beds of ore, and sturdy waterfalls ready to turn the pon derous wheel, and mighty rivers running thousands of miles to the sea, if there are no millions of hands ready to accept these proffered opportunities, and by thrifty usi coin them into the accumu lated rewards of industry and thrift? To raise a working population by ordinary in. rease is a comparatively slow and c stly process. Half of the children born die before they cease to be independent on others for their support, and the av- rage cost of raising a man or woman to the age when he or she may be helpiul to others, in the most economical system, ranges from twelve to fifteen hundred dollars. Every adult immigrant landed on our shores is an addition to our ma terial wealth of at least the sum it would cost to produce him here. If he is a skill ed laborer lie posieises the added value of the expense of such an acquisition. If unskilled In* is a laboring machine put down here withou any outlay from us, which it would cost us nearly or quite fifteen hundred dollars to construct our s-Les. He is offered to our use without any tax upon us for what it lias cost to rear him and deliver him to our hand.” The Sorrows of Idleness. An able and esteemed contemporary makes some very ]tertinent and timely remarks on the sorrows of idleness. Wlmt it says is so full of t rue philosophy and healthy advice that we reproduce it. trusting that it may be read by every parent in the country. It says: “It is the historyof all ages constantly repeating itself. Idleness now proves the fruitful parent of crime just as it has ever done aiming every people of the earth, and ns it will continue to do un til time shall be no more. “If parents, and especially mothers, could only be made to appreciate the truth when their children’s destiny is being shaped in childhood, they would guard against the unspeakable sorrow of wrecked sons and daughters by teacli ing them to practice and honor industry. “A large preponderance of the dissipa tion and crime of this age is directly traceable to the poison of idleness and the contempt for industry, instilled in children by parents. It is the common ambition of even industrial fathers that their sons shall be what they call gentle men, and the mother's ambition is that her (laughters shall be regarded as ladies. Ia most case,* where such false education is given at home, neither the father nor the mother has any just conception of what constitutes a true gentleman or lady. Tiny, as a rule, assume that idle ness and dress above their means, with a smattering of brightness, distinguish the gentleman and lady from the vulgar herd, and by their example their children drift into all the logical evils of idleness. “The keenest sorrows of tin* world are in the homes of p*>ople of ufHueuee, who are so much i nvied by those who strug gle in daily toil for bread; but if the skel etons of the homes of the honest sons of labor could be compared with the skeletons of the homes of the rich, both would learn that there is no happiness in idleness; no wealth but the content of industry. ‘‘The father and mother who rear chil dren in idleness and teach them that in dustry brings the stain of dishonor, are themselves directly responsible for the countless thousands of yonflg men and women whose pitiful wrecks are seen on every side; and until parents shall liegiu Ihe work of reform in the early eduen e.ition of children crime and sorrow will steadily multiply in t he land.” The Tariff Question. Editor Coirant American: I notice your anxiety to have Mr. Hanson, of the Macon Telegraph, come to Carters* ville and enlighten us on the protective Ini id. All such quest ions have two sides, anil if those with protective pro* clivities wish to discuss this issue, let us have both sidi-s. Mr. Hanson, I under derstand, is a manufacturer, and, of course, is in favor of protection, because it puts money into his pocket. The ques tion is: Who pays the profit? Were the people nil engaged in manufacturing, no class would be harmed; but the large majority of our people are farmers and receive no protection from the govern ment, but foot till the expenses and have to compete with Copoy labor of India. Me do not wish any more class legisla tion. y The Bill to Sell the \V. & A. K. R. A bill providing for the sale of tho Western & Atlantic railroad, has been introduced by Senator Linton A. Dean, from this district. The arguments favor ing bill are clearly and concisely set forth in the preamble, which are as follows: Whereas, the true objects of pure re publican government are the protection of the file, liberty and property of the citizen, rather than conducting business for iKHMininry gain; and Whereas, the constitution of the State of Georgia declares “protection, to per son and property the paramount duty of government, and shall be impartial and complete;" and Whereas, the constitution of the State ot Georgia recognizes the right of the jteople to free competition in business pursuits; and Whereas, the owning of property by the state, which is used and operated solely for tle purposes of profit to the state is inconsistent with the foregoing principles and is calculated to reduce the state from the high plane of pure govern ment to the level of business conqietition with her citizens, thereby offering temp tation to use her sovereign power to pro tect her pecuniary interests at the sacii fice of her citizens, whose welfare she should promote rather than retard; and Whereas, the control and management of such property by the state has been and will continue to be a disturbing ele ment in the conduct of the affairs of the state; and Whereas, it is a bad business policy to own property and refuse to sell the same for an adequate price while ow ning debts, the interest 011 w hich is equal to or great er than the income derived from the income derived from the property; and Whereas, the constitution of the State of Georgia recognizes the propriety of selling the property of the state for the purpose of paying the debts of the state. The main features of the bill are that it specifies the minimum price for the road 118,480,500, which amount covers the state debt, excepting some university bonds. The payments are to fall due thirty days before the dates of maturity of the state's bonds, in corresponding amounts, uml the money thus arising is to be devoted to the liquidation of the bonds as they fall due. The bill not only provides for the sale of the road, but de fines tin* position of the state in regard to betterments. It declares that the state is entitled to ail the betterments and SOOO,OOO worth rolling stock. The governor, president of the senate, speak er of the house, attorney-general and state treasurer are to constitute a board of commissioners to negotiate the sale. The board is directed to advertise in ten prominent journals in the United States once a month for three months prior to January Ist, 1888. The bill is a splendidly drafted instru ment, and reflects much credit upon Sen ator Dean as an able, thougthful and careful legislator. The expediency of the passage of the bill is variously re garded; as yet, but few of the members of the legislature have expressed them selves, prefering to wait until they have given the question of sale thorough con sideration. Should it be accepted as being to the best interest of the state to dispose of this valuable property by sale, then, we believe, Senator Dean's bill could not be improved upon. It will no doubt, be ofinterest to many to know something of the extent of the mineral production of this country: The following condensed statement of production of the more important min erals of the United States in the calen dar year 1880 as issued by the United States Geological survey, in advance of a report on the mineral resources of the 17. S. was prepared by David T. Day, chief of the division of mining statistics and techology. The increased produc tion and also increase in value have been general characteristics of the min eral industries during 1886. The total value of mineral products increased in round numbers from $428,000,000 in 1885 to $465,000,000 in 1886. The important factor in this gain of $67,- 000,000 was the increased production of pig iron from 4,044,525 long tons in 1885 to 5,686,629 long tons in 1886, and an appreciation of 75 cents in the average value ]>er ton making a total gain of $60,48.6,160 in this industry alone. The condition of the individual industries is given as follows: The prin cipal iron statistics for 1886 were do mestic iron ore consumed, 10,000,000 long tons valued at mine, $28,000,000; ported iron ore, consumed, 1,039,488 long tons; the total iron ore consumed, 11,039,468 long tons. Fig iron made 5,683,829 long tons, an increase ofl,- 638,803 tons as compared with 1885; value at the furnace $95,195,760, or $60,483,660 more than in 1885. The total spot value of all iron and steel in the first stage of manufacture, inelud ing all duplications, $142,500,000 an increase of $49,500,000, as compared with 1885. The total value of gold pro duced in 1886 Was $35,000,000, an in crease of $3,199,000 over 1885. The production of silver decreased from ssl, 600,000 in 1885, to $51,000,000 in 1886. The production of copper in 1886, in cluding 4,500,000 pounds from impor ted pyrites, amounted to 160,678,981 pounds, vaiued at $16,469,503, a de crease of 10,284,526 pounds and $1,823,- 496 in value from 1885. The average price of copper in 1886. declined to 10% cents per pound. The total production of lead increased to 1,300,629 tons in 1886, valued at $12,667,749 at a aver age value of $96,40 jer short ton in New York. The production Qf, white lead in 1886 is estimated at 60,000 short tons worth at 6% cents per pound $7,500,000. The total value of the oxides of lead was about $1,535,000. The zinc production was 42,641 short tons valued at SBB per short ton; an in crease of 1,953 short tons and $212,552 in value over 1885. Zinc oxide (zinc white) was also made directly from ores, to the amount of 1,800 short tons val ued at $1,440,000. In 1880 the production of quick silver in California was 29,1)81 flasks, or 229,- 1•" J pounds, valued at $1,000,(KM). This is a decrease of 2,092 flasks, but the total value shows an increase of SBO.- 811 due to an increase in price. The total production of all kinds of coal in 1880, exclusive of that consum ed at the mines known us colliery con sumption, was 107,082,200 short tons valued at 5147,112,755 at the mines. The total production of all kinds of coal shows net gain of 1,78.7,881 short tons as compared with 18S5, but a loss in spot value of $1,119,120. I can cheerfully recommend Ely's Cream Balm to the sulferiug public for Hay Fever and stoppage of the air pas sages. I have tried it and find it gives immediate relief. J. E. Rector, 209 Hock St., Little Rock, Ark. The death of Herr Krnpp, the German girnmnker, whose fume is world-wide, lias been announced. Alfrinl Krupp was the j proprietor of the enormous manufactory I at Essen, in Rhenish Prussia, originally j established by his father in 1827. Herr i Krupp manufactured u large number of articles us**d for peaceful purposes, but his name is more particularly associated wit h the gigantic steel siege guns which i the Germans us*d with such terrible ef j feet against the city of Paris. In 1861 ! the king of Prussia offered him letters of I nobility, which he declined to accept. In traveling through the district of Essen, on tho Rhur, may be seen the largest iron and gun foundry in the world, j Over sixty-five thousand people are sup * ported through the works, twenty thou sand of these finding employment there in- it is the largest business establish ment in the world dependent on and through the instrumentality of one indi vidual. riie great Krupp works cover mere than five hundred acres. With the growth and success of the works Mr. Krupp erected small colonies, stores, hos | pituls, churches, schools, etc., for his em ployees. The Krupp gun is world-famed. 1 here w as a splendid exhibition of Krupp guns and cannon at the American Cen tennial exposition in Philadelphia 1876. Asa rule Mr. Krupp allowed no visitors to his works, and it was only an excep tional case where one secured permis sion to enter. When Emperor William visited the works, in 1877, Mr. Krupp had the productions of the day set be fore him for inspection, which amounted to 1,800 rails, 160 wheel tires, 120 axles, 100 wheels, 460 railway wedges, and 1,000 bomb-shells. Ur. Felton's Wine Bill. “The following is a text of Dr. Felton's wine room bill which passed the house last week: A BIEL, "To bo entitled an act to levy and col lect a tax of ten thoufymd dollars upon dealers in domestic wines, who deal therein to t lie exclusion of foreign wines, aleholic and malt liquors, to prescribe penalties for violation of this act, and for other purposes, “.Section 1. Beit enacted by tho Sen ate and House of Representatives in General Assemb.v met, and it is hereby enacted by the same. That from and after the passage of this act a tax of feu thousand dollars be levied and collected upon each and every dealer in domestic wines and other intoxicants, who deals therein to the exclusion of foreign wines, aleholic and malt liquors: Provided, nothing in this act shall be so construed us to levy a tax on dealers in or produc ers of domestic wines manufactured from grapes or berries grown on land owned, leased or rented by said dealers, and which lands shall be located in this Sta te where the dealer resides. “Sec. 2. Be it enacted, etc., That said tax shall be collected as now prescribed by law for the collection of the liquor tax. S<*c. 6. Be it enacted, etc., That any person or persons who shall, after the passage of this act, deal in domestic wines and othcriutoxicants to tin* exclu sion of foreign wines, alchoholic and malt liquors, and shall fail or refuse to Rav the tax imposed in this act, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished as prescribed in section 4310 of the code of 1882; nevertheless, the tax collector sh ill proceed to collect tho said tax as in other cases of defaulting tax payers. Mr. Brady's bill, allowing farmers to plead failure of consideration to notes given for commercial fertilizers, lias pass ed the house, and is now ready to run the gauntlet in the senate. Just what w ill be its fate in that branch of the gen eral assembly is a matter of conjecture as yet. But without going into any de tailed discussion of the bill, we are of the opinion that its passage will prove bene ficial to the farmers. The chief end to be hoped for under the bill will be the re striction in the sale of fertilizers, and our observation has been that the less the farmers purchase tho better it is for them. A BARGAIN IN CORNER LOTS is what most men desire, but to keep from tilling a grave in a cemetery lot ere half your days are numbered, always keep a supply of I)r.

A piece of ground in Philadelphia, with a frontage of sixteen" feet on Chestnut and thirty-four feet on Fourth sroet, was recently sold for $85,000, or $l5O per square foot. It was necessary to com plete a building site in the heart of the city, and, therefore, commanded this ex traordinary figure. This is the highest price ever paid for real estate in America. The one next to it, perhaps, was on Wall street. New York City, where a lot sold for $145 per square foot. The Philadel phia price was at the rate of $0,800,000 per acre. A horrible sacrifice of human life oc curred on the Erie railroad near lloho kuh, X. J., last Thursday. .V gang of one hundred Italians were at work on the track near a sharp curve, when a belated express train running at the rate of fifty miles an hour shot around the curve and ploughed a furrow through the aston ished workmen. Fifteen men were fear fully mangled; the road was strewn with limbs, heads, bodies and strips of flesh for three hundred yards; and the track made slippery with human blood. FRETFUL INFANTS fi.re not so because oftheir depravity, but because they are not propesly fed. Many ot the so-called “foods” serve more to ir ritate than nourish the little ones.

Much of the time of the penitentiary committee one day last week was con sumed by a personal fight between ex whipping ; bo.HS Smith and Dr. Houck, of tin* Old I own camp, in Jefferson county. Di. Houck testified to Smith’s cruelty and Smith in turn charged Dr. Houck with criminal intercourse with negro fe iuale convicts, resulting in the birth ot two bastards. Both charges seem well supported. OVER THE COUNTY. OUR CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE INCIDENTS OF TIIEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, Ami IMsli Thom Dp in a D>loctable Shape For Our Headers. A DA IRSVILLE. The rapid allusions to the weather cuused our thermometer to list 1 up and run around a tree like a vine. Mr. Thos. Addington's house is infest ed with bumblebees, though they do not go up his pants. Still he is compelled to vacate his home, and now comes into town, remains until night, then returns Commencing on Friday before the 3d Sunday in August, a series of meetings will be held at Oothealoga church, last ing several days, with Rev. Alfred Buford in charge. The machinery will all be moved from the factory this week to Raccoon Mills. Some industry might be transplanted in this building now made vacant. In the departure shortly of Mr. Joe I*. Bowdoin for Atlanta, who goes through a term in the medical college of that pla<*e, he carries with him tiie very best w ishes of a host of friends, who will look forward with interest at his future career. Our academy opened up with a fair at tendance last Monday, ami now "the rub out and down on the slate" is already a vexed question with those attending. Capt. Fulton is in charge, which is a suf ficient guarantee of the success of the school. Mr. Thomas Ayer, of Lake Weir, Fla., has been among us looking for a pur chase in a summer home. This gentle man brings his family up to spend the summer here—where lie is welcomed as our adopted citizen. GRASSDALE. While most of the county was almost deluged, wo were watching every cloud, vainly hoping for rain. On Friday eve ning last we had a fine shower, which re freshed our crops greatly. The wife of Mr. Win. Fortenbury died on the night of the 12th, and was buried at Cross Roads the next day, attended by a large crowd of friends and neigh hoi's. Mrs. F. leaves a husband and six children, by whom she will be greatly missed. Grassdale has indeed had a gala day, one that will not be forgotten soon by the persons who were so fortunate as to be present. In the first place, the thanks of all are due Mr. AY. W. Montgomery for the untiring energy he displayed in the affair. A short time since Air. M. suggested that we have a barbecue. Af ter consultation, Tuesday the 19th was agreed upon. The place select'd was upon the farm of J. L. Irick. I assert, without fear of contradiction, that a prettier place, or one better suited for such a gathering, could not be found in the county. On Monday several of the neighbors met, cleared off the ground, hauled wood and bark, dug the trench and made all necessary arrangements. I know not at what hour Sam Jones lighted the fire, but by five o’clock the carcasses of three sheep and one shout were stretched over a bed of red-hot coals. Now was the particular time, but again we find Mr. Montgomery equal to the emergency; with his coat off and sleeves rolled up, lie was at every place that needed attention, at the right time, turning one carcass and then another, and seeing that they were properly at tended to by his assistants. It was the unanimous verdict tfyat never was nicer barbecued meat served. About nine o’clock the guests began to arrive, and before the middle of the day there were about seventy persons on the ground. Besides the Grassdale people were, Mr. White, Robert Best and family, Jabe Vernon and family, Col. Carter, Dr. Grif fin and boys, Joseph Bradley and daugh ter, Miss Irene Haynes, of Dalton, and Frank Weems, of Rome. About one o’clock dinner was served. Enough to say is, that tbe Grassdale people lost none of their reputation in this line. “Sheet” Attaway and Bill Pittard got in after the table was cleared up, but enough scraps were gotten up to kt*ep them from getting hungry before supper. “Skeet” wore the same smile that makes him so popular behind the counter of Scheuer Bros. Many amusing incidents occurred to enliven the day. A trio of young men had a fine melon in the branch cooling, so after dinner .each one took a young lady and strolled off from the crowd. Meeting at a point agreed upon, they sent a couple of negroes after it, but the boys were not posted as they should have been, and came by the crowd of older persons. J. L, Irick seized the melon und burs ted it upon a bench. Just then Wult llawkins, who was running at the rate of a mile a minute, dashed in and rescued half the melon. Some little negroes also afforded considerable amusement by dancing, which was en joyed by all, not excepting the two min isters present. Then came scrambling for nickels, which were thrown up by the boys. The last was a wrestle by J. L. hick and Will Battle, in which the latter found himself lying in the dust, with his good clothes on, and his girl looking at him. The children had a good time wading in the branch, with the older ones looking on as if they envied them and their cooling sport. The sun was now getting so low that the crowd begun making preparations for breaking up. After singing the L. M. Doxolog.v, Bro. White pronounced the benediction, mid the crowd whs soon homeward bound, all agreeing that never had they spent a more pleasant day, and hoping a repeti tion soon. Croftox. CASS STATION. Mr. Jno. A.

Last Wednesday a small party of our youngsters left here bright and early on a picnic excursion to Saltpetre Cave*, they passed your city early, before the Couhant-Ameriuax begin to stir. About 10:30 the arrived on tin* ground of their anticipated day's sport, having l*eeu joined by others of your city and vicini ty. After a short resting spell, torches, lanterns, etc., were lighted and all headed for the cave. All was confusion, slip ping, jumping and falling being the order of the day. After a careful exploration of the different rooms, and some of the party having made* tin* trip through, the entire crowd returned to near the en trance and spread themselves down near by the spring and partook of the picnic dinner of the season. Mr. Editor wish you had been there. After dinner the party divided, some enjoying a nice walk down to the river, whilst the oth srs sat around singing a few songs and enjoying themselves generally. “Why do you wait” was the favorite song, but Dennis and John couldn't satisfactorily answer. After enjoying a nice cool watermelon it was deckled that we had homeward better get. Hadn’t traveled many miles before some of the party made the wonderful discovery that we | were hungry and thirsty. Stopping at a farm house, Mr. Will Dobbs very gallant ly obtained permission to get a bucket of water and passed it around about half-a-dozen times, without a murmur. Married men aremore particular in look ing after the comfort of ladies on such occasions than young gentlemen, don't you think? Another supply of cake, chicken and water was partaken of and in high spirits the party drove off for Cartersville, where they arrived about 7 o’clock in good condition. Oh, they had a splendid time and if you doubt it ask “Dennis” and “John.” Two of the crowd would like to go again. Miss Laura Dunn, of Smyrna, spout several days last week with Miss Minnie Stegall.

The frag ments of tin* wheel tar** through the roof, tearing away a section fifty by one hundred and fifty ling. Thin caused the roof to fall in. The heavy timbers fell on Herd and crushed him to a jelly. One section of the wheel, weighing 5,000 pounds, was thrown a distance of 23G feet and came down through the roof again, landing just south of the finish ing rolls. 1* i aginents of the wheel were thrown all over the works.

About half the amount the state is to pay for the build ing has been paid. When the work is completed the bills have b**eu met —every one of them. The state will not owe a cent on the house. The country will then have an idea of what democratic honesty means in Georgia, for we will have built a capitol within the original appropria tion, for spot cash, and without a bit of jobbery. Our capitol commission is an honor to the state.—Atlanta Journal.
