I’KOK. J. !. CALDON, AN EXPERT, LOOKS OVKK THK FIELD AX'D (JOES AWAY DE LIGHTED. 1 here has been in (’artersville and vicinity for the past week a gin leman that is probably the l**st posted mining engineer that has been in this section for years. Prof. J. I). Caldon, of Atlanta, has been here looking up suitable raw material on the lands of the Etowah Iron and Manganese Company, for the purpose of making a display of that company's property at the coming Pied mont exposition. He has succeeded well and no doubt the display that he will make wiH startle those that are versed in mineralogy. The professor is carried away with our resources, which are mag nificent in his eyes. He has traveled very extensively, an exjiert in his line and his words are encouraging indeed, com ing as they do from a man so well quali fied to pass upon the merits of our re sources. He was for sixteen years with the London and South African Exposi tion Compuny, s[eiidiiig seven years ex ploring the wilds of Africa with the intre pid Daniel Frazier, the ex plorer. The histo ry of the professor is remarkable, and an account of his travels which extends over the world would make volumes of inter esting reading. He has been for the past few years attracted to the section near Murphey, N. C., and has been the means of placing more capital in that section than probably any ten men in it. He re- ported upon the great Murray county gold mines and effected its sale to for eign capitalists, as also reporting upon several other > gold mines. IDs reports are always to be relied upon as true and the most searching. Hence we cannot but feel that his being so well pleased if not astonished at old Bartow's re sources, will be the means of doing much good. He will have charge of the Eto wah Iron mid Manganese Company's display at the exposition. This service alone will be of great advantage to Bar tow county. “Your minerals are immense,” enthu siastically exclaimed lu*, “far surpassing anything l expected. 1 have found more mineral, in quality very much finer, than can be found in the great booming Birm ingham distinct. They are immense, and during the months of November and De cember I expect to give several week's attention in looking over your county. 1 am only taking a bird's eve view now, but what I have already seen convinces pie that you have one of the finest sec t ions in the world.” ‘What is the nature of our ores,’queried a Cot; hant-Amhum an rej> resentative. “Well you have nearly all the ores laid down in mineralogy. You have manga nese in great profusion of all grades, your pyrolusite is very fine indeed. The mis take your miners make, is that they do not classify their ores before shipment, just as the cotton buyer does his cotton. Your ores grade very high and should command better prices. You have the manganese dioxide, psilomelane, bog manganese, rhodoclirosite, manganese carbonite, wolframite, iron manganese, tungstite, gothites and manganiferous ores in the greatest profusion, while your specular iron ores cannot be beaten anywhere. I forgot you also have car bonite of zinc. A greater variety of ores of such fine grades will be hard to find anywhere.” “In the country rocks you have the qnartzyfe, clierp, itacolumyte, gneiss, gneissoid, culcite and others. Your niicncious specular ores are perfectly grand. In a few years this entire country, embracing the section known as the plateau between the Blue Ridge and Big- Smoky Mountains, will be the scene of great development. You belong in the same fields as Murphy, North Carolina, only you are situated on the Western slope. The mining done here is on the floating order; that is veins are broken and irregular. So out a few miles you find it running regular and have the same formations as exist in the Murphy sec tion.” Speaking of the lute Muj. Mark A. Cooper, the Professor said that the peo ple of ('artersville and Bartow county owe it to themselves to erect a suitable monument to his memory. “He was fifty years ahead of - his people. He knew the resources of this section better than any living at the time. He saw its great prospects and what a great pity his great schemes and projects should have been interrupted. He was a man far ahead of your people, who, if lie had lived longer and allowed full sway, with means and power, your town and county would have been the greatest of all the boom ing sections of the country.” He paid a glowing tribute to the grand old patri arch that is gone, went over the works of his laboi> energy and brains. It is upon the ruins of his old works and property that it is hoped that the scenes will change and bloom with prosperity as it once did. The conversation with Prof. Caldon was interesting indeed. He is alive to the situation, is perfectly enthused with our section and its many advantages. He promised us, when he returns later on, an art icle on our minerals, which we know will be highly appreciated by our readers and the people generally. Stilesboro is the place to get the high est price for all kinds of produce, and you can buy goods cheap at Puckett's for cash. seplo-tf. Henry Wright Convicted. The trial of Henry Wright, charged with the offense of horse stealing, occur red last Tuesday in the Superior court at Canton. The jury, we understand, was out not exceeding five minutes, when it returned a verdict of guilty. The court at once passed sentence, giving Henry a position in the penitentiary for the term of eight years. The proof p gainst the prisoner was conclusive, and established his guilt beyond a doubt. He protested his innocence all the while, asserting that he was nearer heaven than ever before. Hiscounsel will makeno motion for anew trial, so lie will render the state eight years' service, unless executive clemency should interfere, which is not likely to be the case. Verily, the way of the trans gressor is hard.

As had lieen previously announced, the laying of the corner-stone of the Sam Jones Female College occurred last Sat urday. On account of the inclemency of the weather, the entire programme was not carried. A great crowd had gath ered to witness the ceremonies, and the hour for the 11 o’clock Tal>ernacle ser vices was occupied in these exercises. Rev. Sim Jones alter making a few preliminary remarks, announced that Dr. Hawthorne, who had been invited to l>e present and deliver a sermon on the “Christian Education of Woman," could be present, and that Dr. Kendall, of not Rome, was i here, and had consented to fill his place. Though the Doctor had no time for special preparation, he preached an able sermon from the text. “Rejoice Forevermore.” He drew many valuable lessons from his subject, and clearly and forcibly demonstrated the important role woman played in the worlds rejoic ing, and the necessity for Christian cul ture. His remarks were full of whole some thoughts, and made a decidedly favorable impression upon the audience. Maj. Smith, (Bill Arp;) followed, in one of his most entertaining and hap piest addresses. It was full of good common sense and sparkled with one of his richest veins of humor. It was great ly enjoyed by those who heard it, and at the request of nmnv, we publish it m full. MAJ. SMITH S ADDRESS.. Good Friends, One and Ale: I have been requested to reduce to writing the brief remarks that 1 shall make on this occasion,so that the manu script maybe placed with oilier signifi cant things in the recess underheath this corner-stone. It becomes me. therefore, to be careful and prudent in thought and language, for it may lie that a hundred years hencethis building may be removed to make room for one more spacious and magnificent. Or another cruel war may come along and this building lie destroy ed as those were at Cassville 25 years ago. Oran earthquake may visit this caudal appendage of the Piedmont es carpment and crumble these walls to ruin. In either event public curiosity would be attracted to this corner-stone to dis cover what manner of people they were who placed it here, and as our literature was drawn forth and perused no doubt some of our lineal descendents will be standing around, and I am unwilling that John Smith, my descendent, shall be ashamed to own me as his great-great great-great-great grand father. Ceremony dignifies all human assem blies and makes more impressive the thing they have gathered to do or per form. It is one of the ornaments of a high civilization. It is as old as history— Kings are crowned with it, Presidents and Governors are inaugurated with it. It dignifies the sessions'of Parliament and Congress and all our legislative and judicial tribunals. Even the petty Con stable of a petty court swells with im portance as lie proclaims, “Oh yes, oh yes, the honorable Justice Court of the 19th district is now open. God save the State and the honorable Court.” Never is a great ship of the ocean launched without ceremony. It christens the ground where the first dirt is broken for anew railroad. Churches and temples are dedicated with it. Indeed it is sanc tioned by high Scriptural usage and its sublime pageantry at the dedication of King Solomon's temple has never been equalled. Even the Lord came down in a cloud and tilled the house with His glory so that for a time the priests could not stand before it. Twenty thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep were sacrificed as a peace offering. What- heavenly music filled the air. VVliat songs of praise and adoration, and last of all, what a prayer did the great King send up to the greater King for blessing and forgiveness. It was with ceremony that the great feast of the Passover was celebrated and the ta bles of stone were chiseled on Mt. Sinai, and the walls of Jaricho fell down and the prophets of Baal were destroyed. It lias come down to us not only by Scrip tural example, but as an inheritance from nature. The Greeks and Romans observed it in their games and their my thology. The Masons and Odd-Fellows make it a notable part of their private and public work. We see it at the mar riage altar and last of all it follows us to the grave in the funeral procession and is finished when we hear the sepul chral sound of the earth falling upon the coffined dead and a voice saying “earth to earth and dust to dust.” We are here to place the corner-stone — not a stone that the builders rejected, not a key-stone of an architect that sup ports the structure, but a simple stone that tells of the day and the purpose and the noble charity of good people to a good cause. This beautiful marble block was hewn from a Georgia quarry and is the gift of those generous, progressive men, the American Marble Company, who have cast their fortunes with us in the development of our long hidden treasures. Its purity is an emblem of the purity of our motives and of that spot less virtue which we trust shall follow in and follow out every daughter who shall enter the portals of this building. This stone represents the structure that is to be erected over it —an institution that is a gift to our daughters—not a gift that came grudgingly or with importunity, but with eager willingness from near one hundred good men and women. Not a sectarian gift but one from all classes, and just so will the daughters of nil have an equal share in its benefits. Even the very name of this college foreshawows its large liberality, its freedom from secta rian prejudice aud bigotry, for who in all this country Ims done so much as Sam Jones to break down the barbed and thorny barriers that have so long divided religious denominations. In what age or clime has been seen such a harmonious, loving union of all sects as he has brought about in the great meetings that he has inaugurated all over this broad land. Longfellow said that Plymoth Rock was the corner-stone of the nation, and so the education of our daughters is the corner-stone of good morals, good man ners and good society. Let us be sure of our girls and the boys will follow their lead. It is the noble, virtuous, long suffering mother who moulds thecharae ter of her boys in their infancy. It is that mother's love, and prayers, and de votion that follow s the boy in his wander ings and calls him to duty and honorable manhood. In the olden times the sons were the special objects of the parent’s * are. They gave to both sons and daugh ters a good education if they could, but if either had to be neglected it was always the daughters. The female colleges were few w hile the male colleges abounded all over the land and were thronged with the sons of wealthy and aristocratic South erners- But in late years the girls have been brought to the front. In almost every town there is a college established especially for them. It isa statistical fact that in the South five times as many girls as boys are every year graduated at first-class institutions of learning. There is but one college for boys in ail North Georgia, and there are a half a dozen for girls. What is to come of this we know not, but we are not alarmed. The girls are get tin g sin ar ter an and smarter every year, and jierhaps they wont’t be inclined to mate with our boys who have had but a limited education and don’t know a sine from a tangent nor a circle from an ellipse, nor why December is the 12th month instead of the tenth, nor w hat causes an eclipse of the sun or a change in the moon, nor what is the French for butter or the Latin for dog, nor who wrote Shakespeare, nor whether the deluge*came before or after the flood. But the girls w ill take these boys sooner or later and l>e content if the boys are diligent in business and making money and will provide new bonnets and test hetir garments and keep a hired cook all the year round. The times have citangi’d wonderfully since we patriarchs were boys and went to the old field schools to learn the rndi i ments. Our seminaries of learning were ; generally built of logs or rough lumber and were covered with boards and had puncheon seats without backs and win dows without glass. We l>egan our work in theold blue back spell ing book that had a wonderful picture on the fly-leaf,a picture of Minerva or somebody planting to a temple on a hill. It was a rough wood cut but it was very fine to us for pictures were scarve in those days. The title jiage almost settled our destiny as we counted the lines and said; Rich man— poor man—jieddler—tinker—and then we advanced to baker and to crucifix and to in-cojn-pre-hen-si-bil-i-t.v, that word of learned length and thundering sound. By and by we made phthisic and con quered it and our orthography was com plete. We mastered all the romances as we went along—those thrilling, fascinat ing romances that were illustrated with cuts—the romance of the old man who found a rude boy up in one of his apple trees stealing apples and desired him to come down; the romance ot Poor Dog Tray who got into bad company, and ; another about the milk maid who tossed her head and spilt her milk, and another about a lawyer's bull goring a farmer's ox. These comprised nearly all the dime novels of that day, and 1 wish it did yet, for there was ao harm in them and a good moral was left behind. We hud no steel j>eus then and had to depend upon the old gray goose for quills. In memory 1 see the good old teacher now standing by the window mending pens with his lit tle pearl handled knife, keeping one eye upon the blade and the other upon tiie boys. A flock of geese was a treasure then, and when the good woman had plucked all the feathers from their 1 rcusts to fill her bed ticks and the boys had denuded their wings and tails for ipiills, the geese were pitiful sights to behold. “My son,” the teacher said, “where is your pen?” “1 haven’t got any sir—l couldn’t catch the old gander this morn ing cos he fit me.” We had no desks, nor globes, nor charts, nor black-boards, nor kindergarten, nor nigh cuts to knowl edge—but the hickory was there to tingle knowledge and good behavior into our brains through the cuticle of the back and the legs. The teachers had faith in that. Mose Wright says lie went to school to old Col. Fouehe, not far from hereabout fifty years ago, and for six weeks he did not know what boy sat be hind him, for he was afraid to look round. But after all we had the same founda tion to build upon that there is now, and we kept apace with the wants and neces sities of that age. Three times three made nine just as they do now. Lan guage was the same and history and logic and philosophy and astronomy and geometry. Our boys could speak Hohen lenden and Bozaris and Patrick Henry about as well as we do now. The modern appliances for education are much im proved, but great scholarship is not con fined to any age or institution. It comes, if it conies at all, in spite of all embar rassments. Where there is a will there is a way, and education is now within the easy reach of all. • The prejudice that some have against education is not a prejudice against knowledge, but rather against the system of acquiring it and the bad use that is made of it. Education without moral training is indeed a dangerous weapon with which to arm our.youths. A great poet has said, “Where igno rance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.” But ignorance is never bliss. It. cannot be, for bliss is the highest grade of happiness. It is ecstasy, it is heavenly joy and utter ly incompatible with ignorance. Shakespeare says “Ignorance is the curse of God, and knowlege is the wing with which we fly to heaven.” Bulwer says “The pen is mightier than the sword,” and Lord Brougham says “The school master is abroad and I will trust him against the soldier in full mili tary array.” Lord Bacon says “Knowledge is pow er,” and the Scriptures abound in in junctions to increase our knowledge— even though much study is a weariness to the flesh. Then let us raise high this temple and equip it and endow it, and let us provide teachers who by precept and example will teach our daughters that the first lessons to be learned are truth, virtue, morality, obedience, purity of thought, and womanly modesty, and upon these they should build Minerva's temple and fill it with knowledge of the arts and sciences. Mr. Jones concluded the services in one of his characteristic talks. He assured the people of ('artersville, that with their undivided support, he would leave nothing undone to make the college first class in every particular, and second to no institution of the kind in the country. The building will be completed and furnished by January Ist, 1888. The school will then be placed in the hands of the best teachers that can be procured, and the course of instruction will be thorough and practical. Our people are proud of the Sam Jones Female College, and enthusiastic over its prospects. On account of the rain, the corner stone was not actually placed last Sat urday. This will be done by the trus tees in a few days. The work on the building is being rapidly pushed forward, and will be fin ished at the earliest day possible.

V. linker Opens lj> Bunk That Creates Excitement. Mineral circles are just now somewhat laboring under quite a ripple of excite ment over the discovery yesterday of an immense bank of brown hematite by workmen employed by Mr. AV. C. Baker, of the hardware firm of Baker and Halt. He owns a lot of land upon which is lo cated what is known as the Kinsey bank, situated four miles above the line of rail road operated by the Dade Foal Com pany, about ten miles from Cartersville. Mr. Baker has had a force of men at work several days clearing up the bank, and on yesterday operations had pro ceeded so far as to disclose the richest brown hematite in abundance. A blast was discharged which opened the side of the bank a considerable distance and dis closed the fact that fifty to seventy-five tons of the very best brown hematite could be displaced at a single blast. Mr. Baker came in late yesterday afternoon feeling immensely good. This bank has l**en pronounced by Mr. Ward, a miner of considerable experience, covering a long service with the Poole furnace of ante-bellum days, as the finest that lias yet been opened up in old Bartow coun ty. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Ward says it is ten times better than the cele brated Burford bank, which has long been the pride of onr mineral men. Mr. Baker is fortunate and bears his good luck with grace. He, together with several other of our townsmen, own four or five hundred acres in the immediate vicinity of the late “find,” and it goes without saying that as to their future prosperity there is no doubt whatever. We have had our gin and press over hauled and are again prepared to gin cotton for the public. We find it impos sible to get insurance on our gin, and hence we can’t assume any risk us to file, but will insure against rogues*.

THE SERIES OF SERVICES I.AIJOELY AT TENDED AND RESULT IN GREAT GOOD. The great Sam .Tones Tabernacle meet ing closed last Sunday night, after a series of most profitable and interesting services, covering ten days. Perhaps none of the great meetings held in the Tabernacle, have been more fruitful of good. While there was notso much de monstration. yet. its splendid effects are seeh and felt in many ways; the Chris tians of every denomination have been brought closer together, perhaps, than ever before. Thereexistsa feeling of unity and a spirit of kindness and brotherly love never so fully exjierienced as now. Many vows were renewed and strenghtened, and a number who have found consolation iu happy conversions. Throughout the meetings were largely attended, and the interest manifested earnest and deep. The general good ac- ! complished can not be estimated; indeed, 1 Cartersville could no longer be itself, j without the Sam Jones Tabernacle meetings. To them, is largely due the credit, for the enviable reputation she bears, of being the most moral and re- ■ ligious town in the country. The preaching was all tine, and by men !of ability, and who were thoroughly consecrated to their work. The sermons | were mainly, by Drs. Johnston, ofCanada, Lockwood of Cincinnati and Kev. Sam •Jones, and all of their discourses were intellectual and spiritual feasts. Last Sundays services were themost in teresting of the meeting, one ofthe largest crowds that ever gathered at the Taber nacle was there. The vast throng tilled the immense auditorian to overflowing, the aislses were tilled, and numbers stood up outside, unable to get sitting room inside. It was estimated that at least ti,ooo people listened to the services on that day. Kev. Sam .Jones preached the sermon at 11 o'clock, before begining, however, he announced that between SBOO and SI,OOO, must be raised to de fray the expenses of the meeting, find to make some much needed improvements upon the Tabernacle grounds. The j necessary amount was soon raised, the audience subserbingliberally and readily. Mr. Jones selected for his text, the word “consecration.” He preached a powerful sermon, showing the necessity tor absolute consecration, upon the part of the Christian. The great multitude listened with the closest attention, and found food for thought, in every word he said. At the afternoon service, Kev. Hugh Johnstone, of Canada, preached, deliver ing a sermon of rare power and eloquence. His words were ablaze, with the ardor and zeal of a thoroughly consecrated man, and touched the hearts of his con gregation. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Chapin President, of the \V. C. T. U., delivered a lecture. She is a splendid talker, posesses a strong, well cultured voice; speaks with much ease and grace, has a fine command of language, and a forcible manner of expressing her thoughts. Her address was listened to with much interest, and enlisted the sympathies of the good women, of Cartersville, in her noble work. Mr. Jones preached again at the night service, taking for his text the words, “Continue in brotherly love," from which he preached a most appropriate sermon, for the conclusion of a great meeting. He said many splendid things, that will live long in the minds of those who heard them, and continue to bear good fruit. After lie lmd finished preach ing, he made a proposition to all those who had made up their minds to live in closer harmony with che teachings of his text, to come forward and give him their hand. In response to this proposi tion, hundreds came forward and signi fied their purpose to live upon a higher plain. The winding up of this service, the last of the series, was very impressive. Mr. •Tones read a letter which he had written to the congregation ot Rev. Hugh John stons church at Toronto, Canada, in which he spoke of the efficient service their pastor had rendered in our midst, anil expresed the gratitude of our people for his coming. This letter was endorsed by a unanimous rising vote of the con gregation. Mr. Jones also spoke of the work of other ministers who had assisted so ably and earnestly, in the meeting, and of the work of Profs. Excell and Hudson. After a general handshaking, and bidding farewell to the visiting brothers, the Tabernacle meeting for 1887 closed.

The human mingled around her race the following day and made several attempts to give her baby away. That night not succeeding in disposing of it, conceived the idea of leaving it on some one's doorstep. Passing along Mar shal Wilkerson’s residence in the north east portion of town, she noticed that the house was dark, and concluded that the folks were at the meeting. She ap proached the veranda and laid the infant thereon and left it, going to the depot in tending to board the next train for At; lanta. Fortunately, the little one began crying, which was heard by neighbors who began an investigation. The child was found, and the alarm was given. Night police, Henry Ford, happened to be at the depot and noticed the same woman that had gotten off the down train the night before, without the child with her. He became suspicious, and when lie heard of the stray one on the veranda, he at once arrested the woman. Marshal Wilkerson arrived on spot soon after and both carried the woman to where the child was found. She pleaded hard for forgiveness, says her name as Lula Cato, her home in Atlanta. Said that a young physician in Atlanta was the father of the child, and that she felt her disgrace deeply and did not know how to get rid of her child any other way. *She was perfectly heartless, and during the following day succeeded in giving it to a colored couple who will take good care of it. It is nearly white and a very fine looking babe. Its mother is a comely looking woman of ginger cake color, and seems to be of the better class of darkies.

The colored folks commenced a tint l re vival at the Tabernacle Monday morn ing, and so far thecrowds that have gone out have been large. Kev. J. 0. Ye ser, of this place, a preacher of considerable note, has been doing considerable preach ing and liis sermons are highly com mented upon. Referring to a rumor that the colored folks were being charged SSO for the use of the Tabernacle, he denied it and pronounced it a “fifty dollar lie.” The meeting will be largely attended Saturday and Sunday, as that day Bishop il. M. Turner, of Atlanta, will preach, and Prof. Holmes, of the same place, will conduct the singing. Turner is a shirring- tight among his people, is greatly respected by both white and black. The best advice the colored folks get these days comes from the lips of Bishop Turner. The singing is splendid, for nobody can beat the colored folks singing. Saturday and Sunday will ire the biggest days, a*nd a large number of peoplewill no doubt attend. • Go to Wikle’s drug store and get fruit jars and put up berries, as there will be scarcely any peaches in this section.

[From the New York Journal.] Consnelo, the eldest, is a slender little maiden of some eight or nine years, with pleasing dark-gray eyes and a profusion of dark brown hair, which curls most naturally over her shoulders. She has very aristocratic little hands and feet, a fine skin and a dimpled chin, and prom ises to be a beauty, as well as a great heiress, some flay. She has her own little suite of apart ments connecting with the school room, and day nursery on the third floor of her father’s white marble mansion, and has occupied them sincethe tender age of six, when she was given a maid's service and emancipated from the nursery. This in cludes a bed room with a sunny window, set with beautiful stained glass, an inlaid floor with fine Persian rugs, a little brass bedstead, all trimmed in pure white, with drooping white curtains, where she keeps all her gowns; two or three rockers and chairs of white enamel wood, dainty footrests ami two dear little birds warb ling tit the windows, besides a number of rare little water color paintings and en gravings. This little maiden has no idea of her father's wealth, although she must know of poverty, because she belongs to several little societies for the relief of the poor. She has an allowance of $5 a week for pin-money, and out of this she must, buy any little toy or book she may de sire. She is not allowed candy except a little of the best, served after the midday dinner. She has to practice on the piano two hours every day, excepting Sunday, and studies French, German, and Italian, besides all the common English branches. Next to the bed-rooma dressing room, all in blue pink, with long mirror, a quaint little Louis XVI. dressing table, covered with brushes, ivory combs, and a real little gold manicure set; and this pretty room leads into a little bath room, all of white marble, where Miss Consnelo takes her cold water bath each morning. She has never had a silk dress, but wears fine merinos and soft muslins in summer, and velvet gowns in winter, and all her underwear is made per fectly plain, although of the finest linen, hem-stitched and embroidered with her monogram. Poisoned by Cigarrettes. Walter Pierce, a young man of 17, whose home is at Gloversville, had a close call yesterday. He is addicted to cigarrettes, and took advantage of his visit to this city to enjoy himself to his lullest. capacity, smoking several pack ages a day. Of late he has complained at times of feeling drowsy, am! thought the cigarrettes ditl not agree with him. The sequel shows that they did not. Yesterday after breakfast he smoked about fifteen, and then went into the parlor of his aunt’s house on Central avenue to lie down. When called for din ner he was found in an unconscious state, with his body perfectly rigid. The frightened family called in Dr. Sehill, who recognized the symptoms, and after working over the victim for several hours got him in a partially normal condi tion. The doctor says the young man will recover, and the young man says he is done with cigarettes.—Albany Express.
