Judge Thomas C. Manning, the Ameri
can minister to Mexico, died in New York
a few days since, whither he had gone
to meet the trustees of the Peabody
fund. This leaves a vacancy in one of
the most important foreign missions.
The great Piedmont Exposition opened
most auspiciously last Monday. The
crowd was immense, the military display
was line; the music interesting, and the
speeches by Gov. Gordon, and Hon.
Samuel J. Randall were admirable.
The legislature has got down to first
class work. Had it adopted this policy
at the beginning of the session, it would
have been able to adjourn more than a
month ago, with a more satisfactory
record than it will have on the 20th in
stant.
Baktow county can have no fault to
find with the faithfulness of her imme

punctual, energetic and watchful. Their
r<*cord for attendance is, perhaps, equal
to, or better than that of the members
from any other county.
Mu. 1 jamah, the postmaster at Savan
nah and his assistant Clifford \Y\ Ander
son, have not been getting along as
harmoniously as two associate officials
should. The trouble grew out of a short
age in the accounts of the assistant post
master, and an investigation by the
department. The affair resulted in an
encounter between the two gentlemen
last Monday morning. Friends interfered
and prevented serious consequences.
There is oue peculiar feature about
President Cleveland’s present journey,
and that is that he accepts no courtesies
so far as his transportation is concerned,
lie is beholden to no railroad company
or combination of men. With that true
independence that has characterized him
from the very beginning of his public
career, he will defray his own expenses
out of his own private purse. He holds
himself under no obligations to any man
or set of men, save to the American
people.
The house of representatives passed a
resolution on last Monday, requiring the
lessees of the Western and Atlantic rail
road to increase by one million of dol
lars, the bond now held by the State. On
their failure to do so, the Governor is au
thorized to seize the road and run it.
Senator Grown says that before the
lessees will comply with the resolution,
should it pass the senate and receive the
governor's signature, they will surrender
the road to the Statei The question is,
will the senate concur in the house reso
lution, and if it does, will the governor
sign it? ______________
Emma Abbot created quite a sensa
tion in Mackendree Methodist- church in
Nashville last Sunday morning, by ris
ing and administering a severe rebuke to
Rev. Warren A. Candler, who had just
completed a sermon, which attacked
the theatre and theatrical people gener
ally. Miss Abbot declared that there
were just as good people on the stage as
there were off it, and referred to Jenny
Lind, Albine, Mad. Modjeska, Jauna
eheck, and herself, as examples. She
spoke of her own efforts to live the life of
a pare, noble, Christian woman, and de
fied any man to say one word against
her character. She took her seat amidst
loud applause. •
Go to the Exposition.
The exposition is now in full blast. It
is a complete success.
In all that constitutes a thorough,
representative show of the sources of
territory from which the exhibits are
drawn, it stands without a peer or a
parallel.
We most earnestly advise every reader
to attend. If the people all go and see
what a country we live in, contentment
pride and enthusiusm spring up in the
heart of every Georgian as he gazes upon
this wonderful collection of the minerals
of the wealth and greatness of his State
We repeat: The Piedmont exposition
is a complete success in all its detni's
and in every department. Now let the
People ol Bartow turn out, man, woman
aud child and take it in.
Who and What We Are.
At tie* present time, when the stranger
is largely in our midst, it would not i*
amiss to give them an idea of what is the
worth of our town and its future pros
pects. Cartersville is destined to make
her mark, and at no distant day.
Cartersville possesses as moral and
sober citizenship ns any town in the coun
try. Its morals are good, and it is a well
known fact that a |>erson passing along
onr streets cannot fail to notice the
absence of profanity, so common with
the people of other towns.
Cartersville is the home of Sam Jones,
the distinguished revivalist, whose power
for good is acknowledged the world ever.
Cartersville claims as a citizen that
philosophical wit. “Bill Arp," whose
quaint humor and deep philosophy has
tickled and edified thepeople of our whole
country.
Cartersville supports her Churches (all
denominations) as well, if not better,
than any town in this section.
Carterville was the home of the lament
ed Mark A. Cooper, the great ante-bellum
manufacturer, the ruins of whose im
mense works can yet be seen by the visit
ors. In his lifetime he expressed the
greatest confidence in mineral as well as
the agricultural wealth of onr county.
He looked the country over and finally
settled here and located his immense
works.
Cartersville is a. large shipping point
for thousands of car loads of the finest
ores.
Cartersvilie has within her corporate
limits beds of as fine black and variegated
marble as can be found anywhere. Not
only can marble be found in the town but
there is any amount of it throughout the
county.
Cartersville is nestled ainongthehealth
giving mountains of North Goergia, the
air is pure, malaria unkuowu, while a
case of chills was never known to origi
nate in the community.
Cartersville ships more manganese than
any depot in this section, claiming Liver
pool as well as Pittsburg as her markets.
Cartersville has in short distance as fine
mineral springs as can be found. It is
only a question of time when our town
will figure as a fir.-A-class summer resort.
The Rowland Springs, a few miles out,
were once known the width and breadth
of the land for its fine medicinal waters.
A stock company will probably be organ
ized to erect substantial buildings for a
summer resort.
Cartersville has most beautiful drives
along the rugged mountain sides and
along the placid Etowah. The drives out
from Cartersville cannot fail to please the
lovers of fine scenery.
Cartersville is a depot for the cleverest
ami hardest working farmers in thecoun
try. They are of the “live at home and
board at the same place" kind and stand
better in a financial way than any in the
South.
The celebrated lime works of A. C. Ladd
are located in two miles of Cartersville.
The cement works of Geo. H. Waring
are in this county.
The celebrated Baruesley’s flower gar
den's, the most beautiful in the South,
are in Bartow county, and a few hours’
drive from Carstersville.
The celebratd Jones carriages are man
ufactured in Cartersville.
Cartersville ships more ores and agri
cultural products than any depot on the
great W. &. A. R. R., the Kennesaw
Route.
Cartersville is the headquarters for the
East and West Railroad of Alabama, the
future great thoroughfare of this section,
whose rails will in the near future tie
Gainesville, Cartersville and Birmingham
together and solve the quick time prob
lem from the East to New Orleans and
the West.
Cartersville is in direct communication
with Kansas City, the traveler changing
cars but once between the two cities.
Cartersville is the center and legitimate
market of the richest mineral and agri
cultural sections of the Soutii. It is the
capital of the banner pounty of the Em
pire State of the South—a county unsur
passed in natural wealth, and a topogra
phy of unapproachable beauty. There
is, perhaps, no spot upon the American
continent combining such wonderful
natural resources; such a variety of pro
ductive soil; such a delightful and in
vigorating climate; such pure water and
streams of incalculable motive power, as
is to be found in old Bartow. Within her
borders wheat, oats, corn, cotton and
the grasses all grow luxuriantly and yield
good returns to the industrious and ener
getic husbandman. Her bills abound in
nearly all of the more valuable minerals,
such as iron, manganese, ochre, baryta,
lead, silver, gold, graphite, copper,
pyrites of iron, asbestos and nitre—all in
great quantities. There is also found in
large beds, the best of fire-clay, lime
stone, sand-stone, mill-rock, building
stone and marble of the best quality.
Her variety of forest timber is wonderful.
Where is there to lie found the same area,
more blessed by benignant Providence,
made so independent and capable of pro
ducing nearly everything necessary to
the support of a people? There is scarcely
a necessity of life that cannot be pro
duced within that limit.
Cartersville’s rich field, with all of its
possibilities, stands open to the brains,
energy, enterprise and capital of the
world. A sturdy, independent, generous
and noble-hearted people, the most
salubroius of climates and the balmiest
of skies, bids them come.
Why shouldn't we boom !
Can the W. & A. R. R. Re Released?
We have it from a reliable source that
the Louisville and Nashville railroad and
the Central system are willing to lease
the Western and Atlantic road for a
term of twenty years, at a minimum
rental of $35,000 per month, subject to
all claims for betterments. If this be
true, and we have no reason to doubt it,
then, it strikes us that the proper thing
for the legislature to do before its ad
journment. would be to authorize the
governor to negotiate a release upon
these terms. Should he be unable to do
so, a resolution to that effect would do
no harm. But if.he succeeds, it would in
short order, and in a most satisfactory
manner to a great majority of the peo
ple of Georgia, dispose of a very per
plexing question, and add $120,000 per
annum to the rental now received from
that source, besides, relieving the State
from resisting a heavy claim for better
ments. This matter should receive the
immediate consideration of the legis
lature.

Welcome (he Stranger.
Bartow county's exhibit at the Pied
mont exposition is exciting wide spread
commendation and notice. While not
so shvwy as othere, its quality and
variety, at once attracts and holds the
attention of the shrewd and practical
enquirer, who is seeking real facts and
the unadorned truth. It is more than
probable that the splendid advertisement
thus given onr county will attract many
visitors who wish to see and explore the
county in person. Let our citizens lie on
the alert to welcome all such strangers.
Greet them warmly, make them feel at
home, let them see that it is a genuine
pleasure to us to show them around, let
them go away impressed with the
sincere hospitality and courtesy of the
people, as well as with the exhibit, qual
ity and variety of our resources.
Don't boom too early on the inquiring
prospector. Let us place our properties
at figures which will attract and not run
him away. Reinember that he who sells
part of his property to a man of means
and energy doubles the value of that
which remains. The farmers of Bartow
should not imagine that they are not in
terested. The cold climate of the North
west is driving thousands of her agri
culturists Southward. Hundreds who
throng the exposition are seeking homes.
Let the farmers of Bartow—those who
waste the energy on one hundred acres
that should be concentrated on fifty—
make up their minds to sell off that sur
plus fifty and farm high on what remains
and prosper. Cease to be land poor.
Above all, carry a rock and a knife for
the croaker. Why should we croak?
Why, rather, should we not, taking full
account ol all our resources of soil, min
eral, water power, and climate, lift lip
our heads, thank God, take courage and
pull together for the glory of old Bar
tow? Let our people welcome the stran
ger who comes within our gates.
The President’s Trip.
President Cleveland, will reach Atlanta
next Monday evening, after travelling
several thousand miles, embracing the
prominent of the North West. He
has been met with onecontinual ovation
from the day he left Washington City.
In speaking of their trip, the Augusta
Gazette very appropriately says:
“The people love their President! The
pay, the pomp and the pageantry of
office and power, are puerile bauble and
vapid boast, when compared to this.
The people love liifn!
What a study for the onlooking world!
How must the fossils and frauds of
monarchy, the frazzled and fickle kings
and frowsy potentates, and popes and
princes, pale and tremble, when confron
ted by the simplicity, serenity and safety
otan American President who is abroad
among his mighty people!
With what covetousness must they
view this man of the people—great in
nothing save wherein they have made
him great —mapping out his journey
irigs for weeks and weeks, and meeting
them every one without the thought of
mortal foe! Behind him —a thousand
miles behind —and with a million of his
fellow citizens intervening, the wheels of
the machinery of the grandest of popular
governments run noiselessly, annointed
by the loyalty and love of sixty millions
of people just as good as a President,
and infinitely better than prince, pre
tender, or potentate!
This is Democracy! God, bless it!
Yes, the President is in the West. He
will be in the South. The “government"
will linger in the East. What matter?
Let the effete oligarchies and autocra
cies of the dead ages view the spectacle!
They will see that the highest aspect of
an American President is that of an
American citizen. They will come to re
gard him who is the servant of his mas
ters a mightier man than is he who is
ruler over his subjects. Such is Demo
cracy. Such is our Democracy.
No wonder that whithersoever the
President goeth, the people greet him.
It is their ovation. Let them ovate!"
According to the latest estimates,
says St. James’' Gazette, the land on
the surface of the globe has an area of
about 5'1,000,000 square miles, and sup
ports a population of 1,400,000,000
souls. It is startling to reflect that
there is a reasonable probability that,
before many years shall have elapsed,
nearly one-third of the world’s superfi
cies, and considerably more than one
quarter of the world’s population, will
be ruled by the direct descendants of the
royal couple who are now entertaining a
family party at Copenhagen. King
Christian of Denmark is at present sover
ign ol about 90,000 square miles pf terri
tory, and more than 2,000,000 people;
his oldest daughter’s mother-in-law,
Queen Victoria, has an empire of nearly
8,500,000 square miles, with about 305,-
000,000 inhabitants; his son-in-law, the
Czar, is lord of some B,Ks>o,ooo square
miles of territorry, and about 108,000,-
000 people; and his son, the king of the
Hellenes, rules dominions extending to
about 25,000 square miles, with 2,000,-
000 inhabitants. It is well within the
bounds of possibility that in the future,
while King Albert Victor reigns over
Great Britain. Nicholas will be Czar of
Russia, Frederick will be king of Den
mark, and Constantine will be king of
the Hellenes; for princes bearing these
names, and all grandchildren of King
Christian IX.. will some day, in the or
dinary course of events, succeed directly
or indirectly to the sovereigns who now
occupy the thrones of the four monarch
ies in question.
It is proposed to have the Evangelist
Sam Jones make a campaign in Rowan
county, Kentucky. It is in this region
that Crag Tolliver reigned and the feuds
that he lett behind him make life very
insecure. The dull crack of the shotgun
is still heard along the mountain sides,
and business is almost at a standstill.
Sam Jones never undertook a nobler
missionary task. If he can subdue the
savages of Rowan and establish peace
and love where the law hasiguominiously
failed, he will be entitled to rank as a
genuine apostle of peace. Success to
him.—New York Sun.

Salt Rheum
The agonies of those who suffer from severe
salt rheum are indescribable. The cleansing,
healing, purifying influences of Hood's Sarsa
parilla are unequalled by any other medicine.
“ I take pleasure in recommending Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, for it has done wonders for me.
I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me
over nearly my entire body. Only those who
have suffered from this disease in its worst
form can imagine the extent of my affliction.
I tried many medicines, but failed to receive
benefit until I took Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Then the disease began to subside, the
Agonizing Itch and Pain
disappeared, and now I am entirely free from
the disease. My blood seems to be thor
oughly purified, and my general health is
greatly benefited.” Lyman Allen, Sexton
N. E. Church, North Chicago, 111.
“ My son had salt rheum on his hands and
the calves of his legs, so bad that they would
crack open and bleed. He took Hood's Sar
saparilla and is entirely cured.” J. B. Stan
ton, Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
From 108 to 135
I was seriously troubled with salt rheum
for three years, and receiving no benefit from
medical treatment I decided to try Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. lam now entirely cured of salt
rheum; my weight lias increased from 108 lbs.
to 135.” Mas. Alice Smith, Stamford, Conn.
If you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood
disease, try Hood's Sarsaparilla. It has cured
many others, and will cure you.

100 Doses One Dollar
Confederate Surgeons.
A good movement lias been inaugu
rated in South Carolina. It is for an or
ganization of the surviving surgeons and
assistant surgeons who served in the
Confederate army and navy. A call has
been published by Drs. A. N. Tally. B. W.
Taylor, H. D. Fraser, Middleton Mitchell,
F. l’eyre Poreher and others inviting all
the survivors of the surgical corps of the
Confederacy to meet in Columbus on the
10th of November for the purpose of
forming a permanent organization.
To this invitation there should be a
general response from those to whom it
is addressed.
No men in the Confederate army bore
themselves more nobly than the surgeons
and their assistants. They endured the
fiercest dangers of war while they labored
with heroic fidelity for the relief of the
suffering. They had disadvantages which
would have been fatal to usefulness of
men less skilled in their profession or less 1
devoted to the cause. But in spite of all
the surgeons of the Confederacy became
famous for their efficiency, for their won
derful adaption of meagre resources, and
for the practical assistance they gave to
wards keeping up the army. It has been
said that they were throughout the war
superior in skill and readier in all emer
gencies than the large surgical corps of
the Federal army which was supplied
with everything it could possibly need
and which, by reason of its size, was
never called on for such terrible individ
ual exertions. Many of the men who
served in this noble line of duty still live.
They are scattered all over the country
in the peaceful pursuit of their profession.
Doubtless there will be a good meeting
at Columbia in November. Such an or
ganization as is proposed can result only
in good.—Macon Telegraph.
A Novel Bet.
While I am not a betting man, said F.
J. Cheney, of the firm of F. J. Cheney &
Cos., I considered it my religious duty to
make that fellow a bet, you see he was
about dead,-and I guess he would of died
before spring, if I had not of got him on
the bet. You know some men had rather
lose their life than lose a hundred, well he
was one of that kind, and we both came
near being out, but I saved my hundred
and it cost him ten dollars. How’s that?
He sent for me oue day and said the doc
tors had all given him up to die with the
catarrh. I told him that I would bet him
SIOO that Hall’s Catarrh Cure would
cure him or I would give him SIOO if it
tailed. He took the latter proposition.
This was three months ago; you see how
he looks now, dou’t you, as well as any
one, and a dandy.—American, Toledo,
