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.

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,- 014,885. (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.

ON Till: ROAD. Onr Correspondent Visit a Kingston and is Iteliglitcii to Nee tliiif ;i New Activity ll.is I’nk.-ii Hold of tlie Town— 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 LIST OF THE INJtTtKU. R. 11.

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, energy, enterprise and capital of the world. A sturdy, independent, generous and noble-hearted people, the most salu brious of climates and the balmiest of skies, bids them come.

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.” Atlanta’s prohibition campaign is waxing warm.
