SENSATION IN CHATTOOGA.
John Taylor, a Former Barber of This
City In Jail for Rape.
East week we published an account of
the arrest of one John Taylor and his
incarceration in the Somerset, Ky., jail
charged with committing raje on Miss
Kendrick, in Chattooga county last
February. The John Ta3’lor mentioned
is a son of our worthy colored citizen of
the same name.
Our readers will no doubt remember
the raping of Miss Kendrick, the cap
ture and conviction for the crime of
Henry Pope, a colored boy. Pope was
condemned to die but has been respited
twice by Governor Gordon, who was not
at all satisfied. Good witnesses were
produced to show that Pope was in an
other state, a good distance away on
the day the crime was said to have
been committed and could not have
been the guilty one. Miss Kendrick
identified him, however, as her assailant,
and it was upon this alone he was con
victed. Pope has all along protested
his innocence and has behaved himself
well while confined.
J. N. Haggard began working on the
case, he being of the opinion that Pope
was innocent. The wife of a negro, John
Taylor, told Haggard of the confession
of her husband, and he started out after
Ta.ylor. He learned that a negro by
that, name was in the Somerset jail and
immediately went there and demanded
him on the charge of committing the
rape. This negro proves to be the John j
Taylor that formerly lived here. Hei
was carried to Summerville, where he is j
now awaiting trial. The negro has
never confessed hisguilt to Mr. Haggard,
but that gentleman says that while in j
Somerset he admitted to other parties j
that he was the man who committed i
the crime.
The Chattooga News, in mentioning
the arrest, says that it if informed from
a trustworthy source which can be relied
upon, that John Taylor, the negro ar
rested by Haggard in Kentucky, was in
Rome on the morning of the 4il of Feb
ruary;- that he started for his home near
Wood Station, Catoosa county; that on
the 4th of February lie was seen wading
Duck creek and going through the fields,
trying to avoid observation; that he ar
rived home on the night of the 4th; that
h * stayed in the vicinity of his home for
three or four days, laving out in the
woods during the day and going home
at night; that he then went to Chatta
nooga, and from there to Cleveland,
Tenn., from which place he wrote to his
wife, who was still in Catoosa county, a
letter telling her that if she wanted to
live with him again she would have to
come to him in Tennessee, as he had com
mitted a crime in Georgia and could
never live in that state again.
But it seems there is considerable
doubt whether the right man is lying in
Chattooga jail or not. The News says
in another place: “It is exceedingly
doubtful if the John Taylor referred t o
above is the one Mr. Haggard brought
in. In other words, the one brought in
is not the one Mr. H. jumped near Coosa
and trailed through Chattooga and
Walker counties to his home in Catoosa,
but a barber whose lather, mother and
sisters live in Cartersville. The detective
has certainly got the John Taylors a lie
tie mixed. The guilty man may be named
John Taylor, but it does not necessarily
follow that any John Taylor you run
upon is guilty of the offense.”
Upon the perusal of the Chattooga
News article, the Couhant-Amekican re
porter called on the prisoner's father at
the St. James Hotel barbershop, lie
had just received a letter freni a Summer
ville lawyer notifying him of his son's
arrest.
He sa3's that his son never live 1 in any
of the counties in which the News speaks
of but gave ns his reason of John’s ad
mitting a crime so as to be returned to
Georgia. John is a wild, dissipated
boy and has been engaged in many diffi
culties, in eveyv instance severely using
up somebody with a razor or a knife. He
was running a barber shop at Itockwood,
Tenn., up to a few months ago, when he
had to leave an account of using his
razor on an Irishman. He soon turned
up at Kingston, Teun., and on an after
noon a few weeks ago was sitting in
front of his shop oonsiderably under the
intiuenee of whisk; - . A party of white
men came along and shoved him over
and wanted to lie shaved. John said
something about the manners and cus
toms of Tennesecans when the3* jumped
on him. John drew his always conve
nient razor and began slashing right aud
left, using up all three of the men pretty
badfy. For this he had to leave the
country. The community was greatly
wrought up aud if the negro had been
caught he would have been lynched. He
was caught, however, and landed in the
Somerset jail, where lie was waiting to be
carried back to Kingston.
It is the opinion of John's father that
lie here concocted a scheme to get back
to Georgia, for he was afraid that, on
account of the intense feeling in Kings
ton against him, lie would be lynched,
lie told the story of a crime in Georgia,
and, as subsequently known, wag
brought back on the charge of commit
ting the rape on Miss Kendrick.
He has employed able counsel, who
sa3 r that there will be no trouble in prov
ing John’s innocence of the crime, but he
will have to go back to Tennessee, unless
he makes his escape.
John Taylor, Sr., does not seem dis
turbed at all over his son’s situation,
and does not propose to put himself to
any trouble or expense in helping him.
“lie has always been a bad boy,” he
sn3's, “and never would let us advise
him, and now he must get out of his
troubles himself.”

As to the East and West.
The failure of (irovestein & Pell, of
Wall street, New York, was announced
last week.
Geo. H. Pell, of that firm, is president
of the East uud West railroad of Ala
bama. and the firm has leen furnishing
the money for the building of the Rome
and Decatur railroad, and thus it will be
seen that the Wall street failure is of
considerable interest to our readers.
The Cocka\t-A Michigan has endeavor
ed to gather information concerning the
failure tor publication, but all officers of
the road are sileflt and refuse to talk of
the matter at all.
However, from information secured
from most reliable sources, we feel justi
fied in positively stating that the plucky
little East and West will not lie affected
in the least by the failure, and the con
templated improvements will be made as
they were first planned.
The East and West railroad was con
trolled b.v Messrs. (Irovestein & Pell,
wliosecured loans by issuing bonds of the
road. The road has all along proved
self-sustaining, and it is thought that
the building of the Rome and Decatur
was the immediate cause of the firm's
collapse. The New York Times sa3 - s of
the failure:
“Under ordinary circumstances such a
failure would have stainj)e<] Wall street.
No so this. Over 20 bunks or banking
houses are stuck through loans to the
suspended firm. Yet even the indus
trious rumor committees have not dis
covered many texts for spreading disas
ter iu this fact. Mr. Harding the as
signee, savs the firm's assets, so far
as his investigation goes, are
materially ia excess of their liabili
ties. These assets consist chiefly
of the securities of the two southern
railroads which the firm has lieeu “pro
moting”—the East and West of Ala
bama and the Rome and Decatur. Those
creditors who find themselves loaded
with these securities collateral deposited
on account of loans made to (Irovestein
& Pell are not panic-stricken by a good
deal, judged by the sentiment of a little
private meeting held by a half dozen of
them .yesterday. Six per cent, first
mortgage bonds are pledged for loans at
from (JO to St), and the creditors who
hold the bonds set* an avenue even to
ward a handsome profit by taking the
collateral in full payment of the loans
which the firm cannot pay. It is re
solved to send a committee south to ex
amine the railroads and report as to
the present and prospective value of the
bonds.”
Captain John I’ostell, the general man
ager of the East and West, is still iri
New York and will no doubt secure a sat
isfactory adjustment of his road’s affairs.
He has considerably improved the road
since he lately took charge, the expense
of which was considerable, but which
came out of the earnings of the road.
This fact, alone is sufficient to convince
all that the road is a paying one. When
the committee to be sent out by Messrs.
(J ro vest ine & I‘ell’s creditors arrive and
go over the line, investigate the fine un
developed country through which it
runs, we do not fear the result and
their conclusions. This is just what is
most desired by all. When they see the
country and examine the splendid piece
of property, they will, no doubt, feel like
investigating considerable more “down
8 >uth.”
()ur people can rest satisfied that the
East & West is all right and will yet
prove the means of developing onr favor
el section. It stands wholly upon its
own merits and is in the field to stay.
Considerable improvements are .vet to be
made, such as widening the gauge, etc.,
which will be done at an early day.

Rats and Socks,
The following letter was found, with
out address, on the floor of the post
office. We publish it as an advertise
ment. The owner can come forward and
prove property, and pay charges, and
take it away :
Mining Cami* No 1.
“Dear Henry: 1 am getting along
pretty well, considering, but it looks
like I was born to trouble. The other
morning when I got up I couldn't find
my socks, and so after I had hunted all
over the room I had to get out another
pair. My big bud came down after
awhile, and when I told him about it he
said that rats were very fond of old
cheese, and such loud smelling things,
and advised me to hunt up a rat’s nest.
So I began to nose around among the
corn sacks in the next room, and sure
enough, I toundmy socks in a rat’s nest.
The next night l baited the big rat trap
with my socks; and, sure enough, I
caught the biggest rat next morning I
ever saw. Now, you know how to catch
rats. My big bud laughed at me and
teased me all day, and it has gotten all
over the settlement.
“The next night I hung up my vest on
a nail. It had my little pocketbook in
it, with thirty dollars of m3’ hard earned
money, and when I got up my pocket
book was gone, and I just knew that
some nigger sljpjied in and stole it. I
limited everywhere, and then offered five
dollars reward. When my big bud came
down he told me to hunt where I hunted
for my socks, and, sure enough, I found
it in another rat’s nest, and the money
was all right, though the rats had gnaw
ed the leather in two. I know that the
pocketbook did not smell like old cheese,
for I never carried it in my shoes.
“But the best joke of all is, that last
night, after my big bud had gone to
sleep, I hid my socks and baited the trap
with his, and caught another big rat,
and he never smiled, nor has he said rats,
or socks, or old cheese, to me since.
“Henry, can you tell me what is good
for a kick? I have been kicked b3 f a pret
ty girl, and it hurts awful bad. I thought
that maybe you had had some expe
rience. Yours, R.”
Between the rats and the girls, our
young friend is having a time of it. The
world is full of both, and he will have tq
get used to them. As for the kick, we
advise him to try another girl and get
kicked again. The honuepathic remedy
is the best. The hair of the dog is good
for the bite. But, b3* and b 3 -, he had
better hunt up a girl who has more
sense or fewer lovers. These right 3'oung
lassies will kick every time until some
fellow kicks them, and then they will so
ber down and stick. — [Eds.

ira 0. McDaniel.
An ODI Citizen of Bartow Passe* Over
to the Great Majority.
Our people were shocked Tuesday to
learn that Mr. I. 0. McDaniel, father of
ex-Gov. McDaniel, had died the preced
ing night nt liis home in Allatoona. in
this county.
The deceased had reached a ripe old
age, full of honors, noted for his fidelity
to religion, his integrity as a business
man, and his sterlyig worth as a friend,
lie was born on the 19th of January,
1807, in Pendleton district, 8. where
several generations of his famify had re
sided. In those early days schooling
was difficult to obtain, but the bo3 r ,
with a vim which bespoke the incipient
manhood within him, struggled over ad
verse circumstances, often traveling as
far as seven miles to attend a recitation,
paying the fifty-cent fee therefor at the
close of the lesson. Such fortitude se
cured for him a good education, so good,
indeed, that teaching became his voca
tion, and for several 3 - ears he taught
school in his native district.
In 1842 Penfield institute was estab
lished b3 - a number of Georgia Baptists,
and among the preceptors emplo3 T ed by
them was the 3'ouiig Carolinian, who
had applied for one of the professorships,
which lie retained with distinguished
ability until the institute grew into a
college. He also filled the same position
in the college for some time.
Daring tliis time Mr. McDaniel met
and married Miss Rebecca
Walker, daughter of Major Daniel
Walker, of Walton count 3 -. When he
retired from the professor’s chair it was
to join his father in busines, who had re
moved from Bouth Carolina to Flat
Rock, in Henry eouuty. From Flat
Rock he removed to Atlanta in 1847,
when he established business under the
firm name of I. O. & P. E. McDaniel.
Mr. A. W. Mitchell and Eli Hulsey were
admitted to the firm. He continued in
business in Atlanta, iu one way or an
other, until two 3’ears after the close of
the war, when his iron interests at Alla
toona necessitated his removal thither.
Asa citizen of Atlanta Mr. McDaniel
took a front rank. While he was suc
cessful in business, 3'et he did not allow
that to monopolize his time. He felt
that there were duties which he owed to
his fellow-citizens, both as individuals
and iu community. This made him a :
public spirited man, one who took hold !
in every new movement, whether of so- j
cial, religious or political character, lie
was an honored member of the city
council, and was chairman of the street
committee which cleared the principal
central streets of the stumps which still
disfigured them. He was also the chair
man of the committee on public build
ings, and iu this capacity located the
city hall square, and built the city hall,
which afterwards his sou, Henry D., as
governor, had torn down iu order to
make way for the new statecapitol. The
first brick building ever erected in At
lanta Iveely’s corner, was erected b3 r Mr.
McDaniel, iu conjunction with his busi
ness partners. The old 4>riek building in
the rear of John Keely’s present store,
•was built by Mr. McDaniel several years
later. Asa churchman he was equnlfy
prominent and vigorous. He joined the
First Baptist church in 1847, and when
the Second Baptist was organized in
1854 he was one of the nineteen origi
nalmembers. The finest church struc
ture of the time was designed by this
small congregation, which they had the
satisfaction of seeing completed in a
short time. Thus it may be seen that
during business hours, during leisure
hours, and on Sundays Mr. McDaniel’s
engagements al ways marked him as a
busy man, as one who had to work in
order that others might move.
MR. M DANIEL S FAMILY.
In 1804, Mr, McDaniel's wife died.
The family consisted of Henry D,, who
afterwards became governor of Georgia;
Ira Oliver, who lives on the farm at Alla
toona; Sanders, who was killed during
the war at the battle of Monocacy, in
Maryland, and Egbert Baldwin, who
lives in Montgomery, Ala., where he
holds the place of car accountant on the
Atlanta ami Montgomery railroad.
Some years after the death of his wife,
lie paid a visit to his old home in Pen
dleton district, South Carolina, where he
met a lady whom he had remembered
since liis boyhood. Slie had married
Colonel Samuel M. Wilkes, who was
killed at the battle of Manassass, and
was thus a widow when Mr. McDaniel
met her again. The couple were mar
ried, and settled on the farm near Alla
toona, while Mrs. McDaniel’s onfy son,
S. W. Wilkes, settled in Atlanta.
His remains were interred in Atlanta
Tuesday with imposing ceremonies, a
large crowd of his old neighbors and
friends going down to the funeral.
We are making extra reductions on
everything in our line, especialfy on
Clonk* aud Mutual Instruments.

The Etowah Water Power.
We clip the following from the Atlanta
Journal, and it will be seen that Mr. Reid
is iu for improving the great Etowah
property:
Mr. W. A. Reid, of Mobile, was in the
city 3 - esterday on business connected with
the Etowah Iron works property, in Bar
tow county. He had been up there re
cently, and conceived the idea that it
would be an easy matter to organize a
companyjto build acotton factory. There
is an immense water power there, and
Mr. Reid sa3 - s that cotton factories run
by water power pay much larger divi
idends than those driven b3 r steam, He
mentions Trion factory, in Chattooga
county, as having made a twenty per
cent, dividend last year,and sa3 r s that the
great Eagle and Phenix mills paid fifteen
per cent.
He sa3's that from a close reading of
the reports he finds that small factories
nearfy always pay well, and he thinks
it will be easy to start a number of small
manufacturing concerns of various kinds
on the property. He sa3 r s the people of
Cartersville are very much interested,
and will take stock in such enterprises.
Mr. Haas, the secretary of the company,
went up to Cartersville 3'esterday and is
looking over the property to-da3'.
The company is now mining on their
lands and will put iu an ore washer next
week.
Call on us for anything in the Jewelry
line, and if our long experience and close
attention to this business is of any
value, you shall have the full benefit.

A New Industry.
The new Hightower warehouse, in the
lower part of the town, lias been turned
into an industry that will some day
amount to great importance. Mr. A. I*.
Silva has fitted it up for preparing ochre
ready for the market. The ochre is mined
near the new county bridge and brought
to the washer, where it is washed, dried
and cut into cakes ready for shipment.
This enterprise, though just now em
ploying only seven or eight hands, will
necessarily grow, and some day amount
to a great business. There is always a
demand for ochre, and Mr. Silva will timl
no trouble in disposing of the output.
The work of washing is done by steam,
while the drying is done by laying the
ochre thickly over a large Hat furnace.

A Negro s>ont up From This County Es
capes From The Coal Mines.
Our l-eaders will remember the whole*
sale stealing of stock ia this section
during the early part of the spring, and
the subsequent arrest and conviction
of John Henderson, a negro. When ar
ivsted he had just parted with horses
stolen from Ben Akerman. of this place,
and Mr. Headden, af Cassville. He was
sent up for 35 years on these two cases
and carried to Dale coal mines to serve
his sentence. He escaped therefrom last
Saturday night, by breaking his shack
les and running away from the guards.
After his escape he stole a horse near
Trenton, and moved towards Chatta
nooga, where he was seen Monday morn
ing.
Henderson is a copper color, age
twenty-eight years, weight about 150
pounds, scar under thectiin, small scar
on the breast and slight sear in the edge
of the hair on the forehead. His height
is about five feet ten inches. He wears a
number nine shoe. A reward of $125 is
offered for his return to the mines.
An Old Relic.
The ( 'o c r a XT- A m k 11ican has bee&
shown, by Mr. J. J. Calhoun, an old relic,
in the shape of a flint and steel pistol.
This piece was carried through the war
of 1812 by Mr. C.'s father, and is a cu
rious old pie<v of mechanism, and would
command attention in a collection of cu
riosities. It is about seven inches long,
single-barrel, with a bore like a shotgun.
The trigger is so uniquely arranged that
it never shows itself until the hammer is
raised for action. A considerable amount
of fixtures are in frout of the hammer
for the purpose of holding the flint and
powder in the pan. It is a great curios
ity, and is much prized by its owner. Its
mate is owned by another member of the
family.
Will Bring Their Cotton Here.
The Cocraxt-Amkkican has interview
ed several farmers over the county, and
till say a good crop of cotton will be
gathered. By proper exertion on the
part of our merchants this crop will near
ly all And its way to this market. The
farmers of Bartow county naturally feel
kindly disposed towards Cartersville,
and want to bring their cotton here, but
have been misled by the hollow prices of
other markets. A reaction is certainly
taking place, which our merchants and,
people generally should lend a hand in
hastening.
Mr. Crow’s Partner Skips.
Mr. Wm. Crow, who spends considera
ble of his time here, being engaged in
the lime business at Waddell, has lost
his partner, J. P. Robinson, who was
managing the business of quarrying
the lime, and who skipped last week
rather suddenly. From the Roekmart
Slate we learn that Robinson got into
Mr. Crow for about S9OO, mostly due
the men at work. A letter has been re
ceived from Robinson, who says lie will
soon return and fix up matters satis
factorily and continue the work.

Mr. B. E. Strickland, who has been a
resident of this city for a few years, has
decided to move to Jackson, Butts coun

will not engage in any business, but is
attracted to Jackson simply as a good

GRASSDALE.
The nights are beginning to remind us
that fall is close at hand.
The busy season will soon be on the
farmer, when we will have to bow to
King Cotton.
This season makes some to rejoice at
the thought that they will soon be hand
ling the money due them, and some to
feel sad that they have gotten so much
for which they have to pay. So the
world moves on. All cannot be happy
at the same time.

PINE LOO.
Campmeeting being on hand last week,
we failed to apipear, but for fear no one
missed us, we refrain further apology.
Our meeting was a success, in that we
had, from beginning to end, good preach
ing, good singing, and good, earnest
prayer. Many were the convictions and
many were the conversions, and about
thirty were added to the church; such,
we trust, as will be saved. Brothers
Quillian, White, Jones and Ledbetter,
with others, saluted our ears with their
usual fine gospel messages, so attended
by the power of the Holy Spirit, as to
send conviction to the hearts of the un
converted. The best of order was ob
served throughout, and with the excepi
tion of about a half-dozen young men,
whom, it seems, are bent on pursuing
their own sinful fashions and gratifying
their own lusts and appetites, and at
last plunging headlong into the fiery bil
lows of a devil’s hell. The meeting was
largely attended, especially on Sunday.
There were 1,500 or 2,000 people on the
grounds. A public subscription was
made up amounting to $542.75, the
amount to be used to repair district par
sonage at Dalton, and buy, repair and
furnish a parsonage at tiiis place for
Fine Log circuit. Those who subscribed
will find the subscription list in the
hands of liro. A. C. Shelton, one of the
