Till KSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, IHS7.
Uarl Suiiuitz has emerged from his re
tirement ami has again taken fin inter
est in politics.
Thk wonderful mineral resources of
Bartow eon ii ty have been “scooped" by
Floyds wood-pile, ho to speak.
It is I’ukttv generally concetled that
this iH an age of steel. The recent award'
ingof the premium to Floyd would indi
cate that it is the age of wood. Civiliza
tion mid science lmve retrograded at least
1,000 years in the past two weeks.
Proiiimtion is what did it. The dry
county of Bartow failed to wine and dine
the awarding “committee on minerals
and wood.” The wet county of Floyd
got in its work pretty well on that occa
sion. Wines influence is wonderful and
causes some men to do some very ridicu
lous things.
Mu. 11. (,'. Hanson, late business mana
ger of the Macon I’elegraph, has bought
a controlling interest in the Columbus
Enquirer ami Sun, ami has been elected
editorial and business manager of that
journal. Me will greatly improve the
paper and make it one of the leading
dailies of the state.
I'mk increase of $2,598,950 in the hold
ings of tin* New York associated banks in
the week just ended, brings the surplus
reserve up to #11,1)02,1 75. This is near
the highest |siint touched during the
year. As n consequence the rates for
money are low and all danger of a strin
gency in the near future seems to be
averted.
Thk Legislature has very justly sup
plemented tin* law pensioning soldiers
who had lost limbs in the late war, by
providing a similiar bounty for those
who were disabled w ithout the loss of a
limb. A great many soldiers were as
seriously and as permanently disabled
by wounds in the body as others who
had been deprived of a leg or arm, and
the new law will meet with universal
commendation —Atlanta ( apitol.
Bartow county made a magnificent
show of minerals at the Piedmont fair,
and demonstrated the exceeding richness
of its mineral deposits. But our excel
lent sister county must realize that it is
not bulk and abundance of exhibit, but
rather the variety, richness and surpass
ing quality of material that wins pre
miums at a great fair like the Piedmont.
We have no doubt that, next to Floyd,
Bartow has the finest minerals in the
State, and both counties are rich enough,
in this respect, to lose no time in wrang
ling for superiority.—Koine Tribune.
We have no doubt but that our es
teemed contemporary intended to say
that “LYING next to Floyd, Bartow has
the finest minerals in the State.” At any
rate, this is the ease.
It is really amusing to see the efforts
of the talented John Temple Graves to
prove the siqieriority of Floyd’s mineral
resourees over t hose of Bartow. Such
ignorance is accounted for from the fact,
that the clever little man is a very
enthusiastic “whooper-up” for his adopt
ed county, and of course allows his en
thusiasm to get the better of his sound
judgment, And then, too, the glaring
fact presents itself that the young man's
life has been largely spent in Florida and
consequently all his efforts have been
bent in the direction of annihilating the
bothersome sand-flies and keeping out of
the voracious maw of the festive’gator.
Such is the only excuse we can tender for
the young man's recklessness, and we
think it a very plausible one. His oppor
tunities to learn the difference from a
boulder of chrystalized manganese to a
mud-pie have ls*en very meagre indeed.
He is happy iu the consolation of know
ing, however, that he has company in
the person of the “committee on wood
and mineral" at the late blow-out, called
the Piedmont exposition.
It Heats the World.
The history of the Etyton Hand Com
pany, of Birmingham, is perhaps without
parallel.
FifU-en years ago it started with a cash
capital of SIOO,OOO. hasty ear it divided,
in cash dividends, $1.5120,000, in stock
dividends (worth par) $500,000, invested
$250,000 in permanent improvements
and set aside as reserve profits SB,-

(hi this cash capital of SIOO,OOO paid
up tift*en years ago it sold last year
$4,800,055 worth of leal estate, and its
property yet on hand is worth $15,000,-
000. These figures are almost incredi
ble. Imt are official from Dr. Caldwell's
re] >ort.
The Etowah projierty in Bartow coun
ty and tjie surroundings of Cartersville
are as good in iron minerals as Birming
ham. In water powers and in healthful
locution Cartersville surpasses Birming
ham. With proper effort it could make
as swift progress in the direction that
Birmingham has taken to the astonish
ment of the world. Atlanta Constitu
tion.
In addition to Carterville's wonderful
mineral resources, her great water pow
ers and healthful location, she is sur
rounded by one of the richest agricul
tural sections of the South. When the
projected enterprises that arc now being
considered by a number of leading capi
talists have leii planted in the lap of her
natural wealth, then the world will have
a practical demonstration of the possi
bilities that now lie out before her. There
is do getting around the fact, Carter?-

A Kplcimiil Location and
Clever People.
It has been one of the seven wonders
that a place of as much natural ln*anty,
with tine railroad facility and a good sur
rounding country, should have so long
stood in “statu quo" and been put
down in the catalogue <if dead towns.
She has length, breadth and thickness. |
pure air, good water ami splendid I oca- j
tioii for manufactories, and all things
seem propitious, inviting prosperity, vet
she has slumbered, to the wonder of all
who pass by. But we are glad to mte
that there are unmistakable evident es
that she has awakened from her lethalgj
and is taking steps, w hich if but followed
up with energy, will soon advance her far
on the road of pros|>erity. There are
several reasons for Kingston's brightei
prospects, tin* first of which is the re
building of t he river bridge and restoring
to them the trade which naturally be
longs to them. This was a long deferred
justice to this clever section, and we re
joice that they are now enjoying it. An
other reason of their prosperity is the
location of a rich mercantile firm, Messrs.
Bay less & Bell, who have the capital to
do a business commensurate with the
necessities of the section. They propose
to buy all the cotton and all the country
produce, having made arrangements to
handle everything raised on the farm.
This is truly a convenience and a neces
sity that the farming element desire.
This venture will be divided by the enter
prising firm 0f..1. M. Anderson who has a
large stock of goods and has an enter
prising desire commensurate with his
purse and big heart. Jim is a native born
Bartow county boy, and we rejoice at his
{trospective prosjterity. Another of King
ston's rising young men is Mr. J. Bailey.
He. too, is one of Bartow's clever boys.
His business was destroyed in Kingston's
big conflagration in 1885 without a sin
gle dollar's insurance. His all was lost,
but he did not give lip the ship, but with
his integrity as his only bank capital,
commenced business again and is rapidly
coming to the front to divide the trade
with the most prosperous.
Kingston has room for a large, thriv
ing, active business town, and only needs
the proper use of the means that nature
has so lavishly bestowed. There is no
better location for a chair and furniture
factory, an ax-handle factory and a
broom factory. These are all small in
dustries, requiring but small capital, but
they have proved, wherever located, re
munerative to the proprietor and a
nucleus around which larger undertak
ings are started, to the rapid building up
and development of the section. The
means are at hand for the immediate un
dertaking of these factories. The woods
are full of the finest timber, the lands are
ready for broom corn and Kingston has
in the firm of Oglesby Bros, the skilled
mechanics to build and conduct the en
terprises. Bartow county is known far
and wide for her native elements of
wealth. No county in the South has a
more extended area of fertile lands w hich
yield most generously to the direction of
the skilled agriculturist. No climate is
more temperate, no skies are more sunny.
Her forests are growing with the finest of
timbers. Her hills and slopes are full of
the varied ores of commerce, prominent
among which are iron, manganese, ochre,
baryta, lead, silver, gold, graphite, cop
per, pyrites of iron, asbestos and nitre.
Her many streams with rapid falls, run
murmuring and idle, inviting the curbing
influence of the dam and the water wheel.
Every element of prosperity and great
ness has indeed been lavishly dispensed
to ns by a generous Providence. But are
we not hiding the talent he has given in a
napkin? Every day we are shipping the
crude elements of our wealth out of our
territory to the enriching of foreign
manufactories, while the means of their
manufactory arc in our own hands. This
suicidal policy,-while it enriches a few
favored individuals, is impoverishing the
county. How long will this last? Bar
tow’ county should manufacture every
pound of cotton, every ton of iron, every
cord of wood, and ship her products in a
manufactured state.* Then will the day
of her full 'prosperity commence and her
peo]le, one and all, reap the full benefit
of the remarkable gifts of a Generous
Providence.
May the clever little town of Kingston
receive quite an impetus in the way
of the manufacturing enterprises that
will ensure general prosperty. She
has a clever citizenship, composed of
some of the oldest families in the county.
Her boys are moral and industrious, her
girls are sprightly, pretty and domestic,
and we rejoice to see them take a quicker
step in the direction of progress. S.
A Disastrous Accident on the Rome and
Carrollton.
A terrible accident occurred on flic
Rome and Carrollton railroad, about
two and one-half miles south of Rome on
last Monday, seriously injuring ten per
sons. From the Rome Tribune we gather
the following facts concerning the acci
dent:
The train from Cedartown was due
here at 10:30, with Olfie N. Harbin, en
gineer, and in charge of Conductor ,H. B.
Moody. Just before reaching a trestle on
the Jones place, two and a half miles
from Rome, and about one mile from the
Borne and Carrollton junction, the tracks
under the back end of the rear passenger
car of the train jumjied the track. Con
ductor Moody was in the car, and feeling
something wrong underneath, he ran out
on the platform and signalled for the en
gineer to stop, putting down the brakes
on that car himself.
The tracks were dragged on the cross
ties for a minute, and then veered round
broadside with the track, and in a second
had broken loose and torn down the em
bankment, dropping the end of the car
down on the ties. It required but a min
ute tor it all to happen, for the train to
reach the centre of the trestle and the
crippled car to turn over and plunge
downward into the dry creek-bed below.
The car, which was an old one, though
with new trucks and brakes, in use by
the Rome ami *'arrolltort but a year and
a half, was literally crashed into atoms,
having fallen about twenty feet and
struck on its top, and it seems that noth
ing short of
A MIRACULOUS I’ROVIHENOE
intervened between the ten persons in
the car and an instant and hoirible
death. The crossties at the end of the
trestle were torn into fragments by the
dragging car, and in falling the side of
the structure was shaved straight down
and the timbers torn loose wherever it
struck.
There were eight pnssengersin the fated
car, besides the conductor, who fell, and
a negro train hand, and every one was
more or less seriously hurt. Below is a

CARTERSYILLE.
A few years ago, when the current o
capital was turned towards the mineral
lielt of the South, in search of profitable
investment, and towns and cities were
inadtfto spring like magic from barren
fields, Cartersville, conscious of her uu
parallelled surroundings, sat patiently
abiding her time, for she felt that in dtiej
season it must eome. And now, that her
resources are know n and are attracting
attention throughout the country, it
does not take a prophet to foretell her
future, and the position she must soon
occupy as one of the principal industrial
centers of the South, and the relation
she must bear to the steel production of
this country. A knowledge of her sur
roundings and location is sufficient to
convince the most casual observer of af
fairs that she is destined to lie a city emi
nent for her manufacturing enterprises.
Nestled in a beautiful valley of great
fertility, upon the banks of the majestic
Etowah, fanned by the health giving and
refreshing breezes from the foot hills of
the Blue Kidge, farters ville stands ro
bust and vigorous—the embryo Pitts
burg of the South.
Of all the booming young cities and
towns throughout the country, claiming
to possess a wealt h of natural resources,
and affording superior advantages for
the investment of capital, without dis
paraging in the least the real merit of
their claims, we venture the assertion,
without fear of contradiction, that there
is not a tow n in the Southern States, or
anywhere else as to that matter, thqt
will compare with Cartersville in advan
tages of location and natural resources.
Most of these places, if not all, are
depending for their .growth and pros
perity, upon some one sjiecialty, either
agricultural or mineral resources, few,
if any of them, combining the two. But
with Cartersville it is different. She has
both. However, were her hopes for
future development based on agriculture
alone, it would then occupy an envia
ble position, for old Bartow floats the
banner as one of the richest counties in
that line in the State. Were its right to
boast of such claims based solely upon
her minerals, she would stand proudly to
the front, for the hills surrounding her
are full of ores of the highest grade and
in great variety. But combine all her
resources, with pure water and a health
ful climate, and her position is unap
proachable.
BARTOW COUNTY.
Situated in the northwestern portion
of the State, just above the 34th parallel
of latitude, this county Ims advantages
peculiarly its own. It contains an area of
500 square miles, or 320,000 acres, and
rests upon a solid foundation of lime
stone, sandstone and iron ore. There are
91,325 acres of improved land, valued at
$2,102,212. The remaining 238,075
acres being covered with timber and a
large portion of it teeming with valuable
minerals, and more valuable probably in
a state of nature than the lands that
have been improved. The character of
the soil is varied as to the surface but al
most invariably the sub-soil is red or
yellow clay. The red or gray ridge lands,
the mulatto uplands, the deep alluvial of
the creek and river bottoms are alike
productive and generous and respond as
'readily to the skill and care of the culti
vator as any lands in the State of Geor
gia. Potton, corn, tobacco, all tin* culti
vated grasses, wheat, oats, barley, rye,
sorghum, ground peas, all the products
of the temperate zone, except some varie
ties of the citrus family find in Bartow
county a soil and climate congenial and
invigorating, and they reach as great
perfection then* as anywhere in the State.
The average yield per acre of cotton for
the whole county, is about one-half bale;
the average yield per acre for the State
is about one-fifth bale. The average yield
of corn for the State is about 24,000,000
bushels. Of this Bartow county produces
about 400,000 bushels in round numbers.
There are 138 counties in the State. The
product per acre for the county will be
found largely in excess of any other.
There are 91.325 acres of improved lands,
valued at $1,102,212. which produced in
1879 —census of 1880 —a crop valued at
$903,588; or, in other words, the land in
one year produces nearly half its value.
This needs no commentary, but for the
sake of comparison let us take Adams
county, Illinois, where farms valued at
$17,095,477, produced the same year,
crops valued at $3,294,250, or about
one-sixth the value of the farms. These
figures speak for themselves, and are sus
ceptible of proof. Bartow is peculiarly
adapted to the growth of all ihe grasses.
Clover finds in the red soil of the county
a home where it reaches perfection. From
one to two tons of hay per acre are easily
produced and the clover becomes practi
cally indigenous. Although too far south
for the famous Blue grass of Kentucky,
farmers find an excellent substitute in
Bermuda. Orchard. LespidezaStriata and
the native grasses which are succulent
and lasting. The North Georgia mule
has a reputation second to none for stay
ing qualities. Running streams of purest
water rush from the hills and permeate
the valleys in all directions, and such , a
state of affairs as we have lately heard
of in Texas never obtains in the county
of Bartow. Springs of both limestone
and freestone abound, and where springs
are not water is readily obtained in dug
wells at depths ranging from 25 to 30
feet. The Etowah river runs through
the county from northwest to southeast,
and affords unlimited water power at nu
merous shoals and rapids. There are in
addition creeks, such as Euharlee, Bump
kin Vine, Allatoona and Two Run, that
in many instances would be dignified
with the names of rivers. Altogether,
Bartow may be* considered an extraordi
narily well watered county, and at the
same time there is but little loss by fresh
et or overflow.
CLIMATE
Is mild. The variations of the thermom
eter are not excessive. In winter tor the
months of December. January and Feb
ruary, the mean temperature is 44.8°; for
June, July and August, 78°; for the year,
61.1>°. Rainfall for the year 47.2 inches;
for the months of June. July and August,
10.18 inches. The above figures are com
plied from observations made from 18 1 4
to 1884 under the direction of the Com
missioner of Agriculture, and arc no
doubt correct and reliable averages. The
healthfulness of the county is unques
tionable, local or epidemic diseases are
unknown, and the death rate is as low as
in any community in the world.
CARTERSVILLE
Is the county seat, w ith a population of
2,500, situated at the junction of the W.
A A. R- It. with the E. & W. R. It. of Ala
bama, the latter road giving a thorough
line to the great manufacturing town of
Birmingham and its adjacent coal fields,
distant 151 miles. Below the town
stretches out*the broad and fertile valley
of the Etowah river, with its fields of
rich alluvial soil, on the east and north
east rise the mineral bearing mountains
of the Allatoona range, easy to access
and daily discharging a little ol their
wealth, through the streets of the town.
North and west, are the valleys of Petitt s,
Two Run.and Pine Log creeks-, the pro
ducts of which find their markets in the
town.
Prettily situated on a series of gentle
elevations, the tow n is well laid off, thor
oughly drained, well built, with many
pretty residences, its streets shaded, its
many gardens, prolific and beautiful to
the eye, its citizens full of just pride in
their town, believe it a good place to
live. Forty-eight miles from the city of
Atlanta, and ninety miles from Ghatta
uooga. A short ride over tie* M.AA. R.
R. places the merchant in a good mar
ket for sale or purchase. When the con
templated extension of the E. & \Y R. R
to Gainesville, on the Richmond and Dan
ville system is finished, Cartersville will
have three competing lines to the east,
and the shortest route from New York to
Ne'w Orleans, will l* over the E. <Sc \\ ~
through Cartersville. -V tempting field
for flu* manufacturer —Oartersvillc offers
every inducement to proposed plants.
With boundless iron and manganese ore,
coke near at hand, charcoal cheap and i
plentiful, timber in every variety, and
especially the hard woods and pine, lands
and taxes cheap, a population anxious
to welcome new blood, the day cannot Is*
far distant when Cartersville will be a
very hive of industry.
The ochre works of A. I’. Silva, the
planing mill of Messrs. Galloway & I’ren
and the long established carriage and
wagon factory of R. 11. Jones A Son, are
ample evidences that success follows a
well conducted manufacturing enterprise, j
A manufacturer seeking a site for his !
plant, cannot do better than to investi
gate the claims of Cartersville. He will !
find simple encouragement and substan- !
tial inducements offered. The people are i
in earnest and desire nothing more than
the influx of new capital, new blood, new
enterprise, and to such they extend a
hearty invitation.
The four principal religious denomina
tions are represented in substantially
built churches and the great “Union
Tabernacle,” with a seating capacity of
4,000, is the scene of an annual ten days’
meeting, where the services are conducted
by some of the most eminent divines of
the land.
The Climate is healthful and pleasant,
cool nights in summer, and in winter the
thermometer rarely finds itself as low as
10° above zero. The elevation is about
800 feet above the sea level. The sur
rounding country is beautiful, and many
pleasant drives over good roads invite
the lovers of out door life. The city has
no debts, taxes are low, and by popular
vote in 1884, prohibition raids the
county.
Fpon our river and within view of the
W. A A. R. R. flows a water power of
over 7,000 horse, at low water mark.
The site of war destroyed works prove
its capacity and mutely invites the touch
of development. A hundred streams in
the county waste their impatient force,
waiting the curbing and directing hand
of intelligent application.
MINERALS.
But it is to our mineral deposits to
which we call especial attention. We are
only seventy miles from the coal fields of
Alabama, with direct railroad communi
cation, by way of the East and West
Railroad of Alabama; and the Western
and Atlantic Railroad furnishes a line to
the competing mines of Tennessee. In
other words, we draw from the near coal
fields of both Alabama and Tennessee,
while both these States must depend
upon its own production for supply.
Long before the late war there were
five furnaces in pperation in Bartow,
producing, by crude methods, and un
skilled labor, the finest quality of char
coal iron. The business paid. But it is
only of late that the enormous quantity
of iron and manganese ores lying in our
hills have been revealed. We have scarce
ly scratched the surface, yet from only
two mines we ship annually over 27000
tons of iron, and nowhere have excava
tions been made fifty feet below the sur
face. It is estimated that in one acre
there is deposited nearly 500,000 tons of
brown hematite within easy and profita
ble reach. We are now shipping our iron
ores to both Tennessee and Birmingham.
Alabama tells us she needs our ores, and
Tennessee has been buying for years.
Our brown hematite ore carries over 00
per cent, of pure iron, and the gray sp*c
ular ore over 04 per cent. The compre
hensive mind of Joseph E. Brown long
ago realized the situation, and the Dade
Coal company has invested in largely, is
operating with fine profits, and contin
ues to buy. The Etowah Iron and Man
ganese Company, owning nearly 12,000
acres in the mineral belt, has received
offers of lease for less than 300 acres, the
secured profits on which, to the company,
would pay them over ten percent, annu
ally upon the purchase price paid for the
entire 12,000 acres. Yet this three hun
dred acres hardly contains the 100th
part of their mineral deposits.
It lies within the knowlede of the writer
that a mine owner is now receiving
nearly fifty percent, per annum in profits
from a single mine, and tlie deposit is
barely touched. These instances are
mentioned that the ready may see that
there is nwniey iu it.
Statistics rank Bartow county as third
in the quantity of manganese shipped;
yet the writer ventures the opinion that
nowhere is milling for this valuable
metal carried on as crudely. The pocket
drifts on the surface are rifled, while the
main stores remain untouched. This
ore is worth delivered at the depots about
$6, while iron ore is worth only $1.59.
Bear in mind that competent authority
has pronounced the manganese deposits
in Bartow to be superior to any which
have yet been discovered. A furnace for
the Con verson of this ore from the crude
manganese, worth s(> per ton, into
Speigel, worth $25 per ton and upwards,
is one of the many investments which we
think would pay our Atlanta friends.
RESUME
Cartersville is the center and ligitimate
market of the richest mineral and agri
cultural sections of the South. It is the
capital of the banner county 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 so favored, combining as it
does, such wonderful natural resources;
such a variety of productive soil; such a
delightful and invigorating climate; such
pure water and streams of incalculable
motive power. Within her borders wheat,
oats, corn, cotton and the grasses all
grow luxuriantly and yield good returns
to the industrious and energetic hus
bandman. Her hills abound in nearly
all of the more valuable minerals, such
as iron, manganese, ochre, baryta, lead,
silver, gold, graphite, copper, pyrites of
iron, absestos and nitre —all in great
quantities. There is also found in large
beds, the best of fire-clay, lime-stone,
saml-stone, mill-rock, building stone and
marble of the best quallity. Her variety
of forest timber is wonderful. Where is
there to be found the same area, more
blessed by benignant Providence, made
so independent and capable of pioducing
nearly everything necessary to the sup
port of a people? There is scarcely a
necessity of life that cannot be produced
within that limit.
Uartersville’s rich field, with all of its
possibilities, stands open to the brains,

Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Is a peculiar medicine, and is carefully pre
pared by competent pharmacists. The com
bination and proportion of Sarsaparilla, Dan
delion, Mandrake, Yellow I>*>ck, and other
remedial agents is exclusively peculiar to
Hood's Sarsaparilla, giving it strength and
curative power superior to other prepa
rations. A trial will convince you of its
great medicinal value. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Purifies the Blood
creates and sharpens the appetite, stimulates
the digestion, and gives strength to every
organ of the body. It cures the most severe
cases of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Boils, Pimples,
•and all other affections caused by impure
blood, Dyspepsia," Biliousness, Headache,
Kidney and Liver Complaints, Catarrh Rheu
matism, and that extreme tired feeling. ,
“ Hood's Sarsaparilla has helped me more
for catarrli and impure blood than anything
else I ever used.” A. Ball, Syracuse, N. Y.
Creates an Appetite 4
“ I used Hood's Sarsaparilla to cleanse my
blood and tone up my system. It gave me a
good appetite and seemed to build me over.**
E. M. llale, Lima, Ohio.
“I took Hood's Sarsaparilla for cancerous
humor, and it began to act unlike anything
else. It cured the humor, and seemed to
tone up the whole body and give me new
life.” J. F. Nixon, Cambridgeport, Mass.

From the Galveston News we learn
that about three years ago the Texas
and Pacific Railroad Company under
toon to sink an artesian well near Sierra
Blanco, 5)5 miles east of FI Paso. The
pipe was down 600 feet, when suddenly a
cavern was struck, the drill dropped
about six feet and a current of air rushed
up the pipe. The well was abandoned,
and the tubing acted as a fine from the
cavern to the surface of the earth. Ever
since that time the people of the vicinity
have resotred to the spot in summer to
enjoy the cool and invigorating air that
comes up the pipe. The current of air
ebbs and flows like the ocean tides, the
current being outward one day and
downward the next. The upward flow
has been discovered to possess magnetic
properties, and the people who live n§ar
the well call it the “fountain of youth.”
