Mot a Gloomy View of the Atlanta
■election.
A. W. Fite, Esq., does not take as
gloomy a view of the defeat of prohibi
tion ill Atlanta, as the average prohibi
tionist. In conversation with a Couuant-
A memoan reporter as to what he thought
the effect of the election would be, he
said:
“I do not regard the result of the pro
hibition election in Atlanta upon the
whole, as injurious to the prohibition
cause. 1 would be glail to see absolute
prohibition throughout the State, but
this is impossible under the local option
plan. We w ill never be able, in my opin
ion, to have prohibition by popular vote
in the cities of Augusta, Macon, Colum
bus anil Savannah, and those cities will
continue to draw, at least, a certain ele
ment from Atlanta as long as she is dry,
and it is hard to make some Atlaiitians
believe that this is not hurtful to their
city, and hence, many good citizens of
Atlanta favor the sale of whisky, as a
sort of an offset to those cities. And
had those cities been dry I have no doubt
that Atlanta would have gone dry.
“Of course, the result of the election
hurts prohibition in Atlanta, but it does
not hurt it throughout the country. Be
cause, Ist. It is true, and admitted by
all, that prohibition is more easily en
forced in the country and small cities and
tow ns than in large cities.
“2nd. Many men in prohibition coun
ties who are now disposed to violate the
law, will move to Atlanta where they can
sell whisky without violating the law,
and others who will uphold the law w ill
take their places in the country, and thus
the country will grow stronger for prohi
bition.
“Again, I believe that Col.. Evan P.
Howell and the other leading anti-prohi
bitionists, who have promised to restrict
t Is* sale of whisky, will be true to their
promise, and after all, Atlanta will not
be cursed with the low down dives she
once had.”

One of the neatest, most city-like insti
tutions in Cartersville is the handsome
jewelry establishment ot Mr. \Y. F. Baker.
It is under the management of Mr. Bolt,
an expert workman, and Mr. Robert
Shelton. Its good reputation is extend
ing every day, new territory being con
stantly invaded by the clever gentlemen
having the store in charge.
The jteople of the county have loqg ago
realized the uselessness of going to eities
for the finer articles in this line. They#
believe in patronizing home institutions,
especially so when they can get the goods
they want at much cheaper prices. The
expense of carrying on business in Car
tersville is not half as much as in larger
towns, the benefit of which is always
given the customers.
The jewelry stock of Mr. Baker has
been supplemented by a handsome dis
play, in tlie past few days, and goods are
yet being constantly received. The holi
day goods are being fast put in position,
and it goes without saying that they are
the handsomest ever seen in this market.
If it happens that t his firm has not ex
actly what you want, they will take
pleasure in ordering it for you at figures
considerably less than yon can get in
larger cities.
This is a home institution, one which
we should all be proud to sustain.
From this date regular prices for the
Opera House w ill be 50c., 35c. and 25c.
VVe have got the largest stock of Shoes
we have ever had, and we are prepared to
sell you solid goods as cheap as they can

After Looking Over Alabama Field* Re
turn to Old Bartow.
A week or so ago we noticed the
presence in our county Captain Stith and
Dr. Littlejohn, of North Carolina, who
were here looking over our mineral wealth
with a view of making investments.
After remaining here a few days, they left
with the purpose of surveying the widely
“norated” fields of Alabama, where they
remained several dayslookingat the iron
beds in the Birmingham, Anniston and
Talladega section. They returned to
Cartersville Monday and began to per
fect arrangements for the purchase of
certain valuable properties. Several op
tions were taken, on good tjme, and it is
highly probable they will do something,
but nothing definite could be stated, as
they were very reticent as to their move
ments or intentions. Messrs. Aubrey &
McEwen, the live real estate men, showed
them tin* county thoroughly, and they
were highly pleased with what they saw,
and returned to their homes with
every assurance that not the half
has been told as to the wonderful miner
al resources of the grand old mineral
county of Bartow.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Tlie Handling ot an Old Pistol Cau-e* the
Death of a Young Mali.
.Just before going to press this morn
ing we hear of a distressing accident oc
curring near Kingston last night by
which a young man was instantly killed.
The report says that two young men,
about the same age, Feaster Woolley, a
son of ('apt. A. F. Woolley, and a young
man by the name of Haines, employed
on Capt. Woolley’s farm, were in their
room last night, when young Woolley
took an old pistol from a bureau drawer.
Fpon lieing asked by Haines what lie was
doing with it, replied that he would clean
it up and put it in good order, as his
mother was left alone frequently and
she needed it for protection. While hand
ling it, by some means it exploded, send
ing a ball crashing through the brain ot
young Haines, killing him instantly.
The father of the young man, who lives
in Atlanta, was immediately telegraphed,
and went up this morning. The accident
was a most distressing one, and the sym
pathy of our people goes out alike to the
innocent cause of the affair and his dis
tressed family and the family of the un
fortunate victim.

XV hire P. o|L*.
Amanda Rowland, a young •!# nvd
w oiiqm.wus landed in our jail Monday on
a charge of assault with intent to kill.
Last Saturday morning Amanda went
to the residence of J. 11. Ferguson, near
Taylorsville and started to do her week's
washing, using water from Mr. Fergu
son's well. Mr. F. denied her this privi
lege as the well was nearly dry and no
water could be spared. I’jsm this re
fusal Amanda became mad and very
insulting, hurling the worst kind of
epithets at Mr. Ferguson, in presence of
that gentleman’s family. Hecommanded
the woman to desist but the command
was not obeyed. She finally desisted,
but left swearing vengeance, say
ing that she would soon walk over
Mr. F’s grave. Nothing was thought of
her threats until Sunday night, when
Mrs. Ferguson, her eldest daughter, ami
Mr. Warren Gaston, who hapjiened to Is*
visiting thereat the time, suddenly be
came very ill. A physician was called in,
who instantly stated that they had lieen
poisoned with strychnine. The bucket
of water on the rear portico looked
peculiar and as the three sick ones were
the only |>ersons that had partaken of
it. Fjioii investigation tracks corres
ponding to a woman s shoe were found
near the bucket and Amanda was at
once siispicioned as doing the hellish
deed. She was carried before Justice
Colbert where sufficient evidence was ad
duced as to warrant her removal to the
county jail to await a hearing before
Judge Fain. The woman is only twenty
one years of age, married ami has three
children.*.
At last accounts the poisoned people
were up and out of danger.

A Young Man ol* tlie Higbt Sort
It is always a pleasure to note the suc
cess of our hard-working young men, and
everybody appreciates their worth as a
citizen and neighbor. The Coukant-
Amekican has just learned of the great
success of Mr. J. (’. Crow, a step-son of
Mr. Win. Everidge, who has been “crop
ping” this year on one of Mr. Watt Har
ris' farms. The young man prepared
twenty acres for cultivation and from it
hasgathered twenty bales of cotton and
one thousand bushels of corn. The young
man, to make this crop, has expended
only forty dollars for outside help. This
is a record any one should be
proud of, and Bartow is honored in hav
ing such a worthy son. Push, and hard
work, and the magnificent quality of old
Bartow dirt, have a natural tendency to
“get there.”

had the same lawful excuse that I offered

Mr.s Pittard had a large number of her

Mr. and Mrs. Bob Saxon spent a night
with the family of Mr. Hawkins, and the
next day with Mrs. Irick. Mrs. Saxon's
many friends are glad that she has so

Miss May Battle spent several days in
Rome visiting her brother and other rela
tives. She claims to have had a most
pleasant time.
I regret to have to ehonide a very sad
accident which occurred on Monday even
ing, the 21st. James Pittard was haul
ing lumber and had his little brother,
Conner, on the wagon with him. Going
down a steep hill within a few hundred
yards of home, the lumber slipped down
on the horses, causing them to run
away, running against a tree, causing
the lumber to fly up, catching Conner be
tween a tree and the lumber, breaking
♦he large bone of his right leg just be
low the knee, and also spraining one of
Jim’s ankle's very badly, giving him a
rest spell. While he had to nurse his
spraiued ankle the mumps concluded to
put in their appearance, but only staged a
few days. While the accident was a sad
oue, all are grateful that it was not more
serious. Dr. Battle was summoned and
did all that was necessary, and both are
now doing very well.
Miss Hattie Gibbons is very unwell,
having taken a serious cold while attend
ing the exposition.
Miss Fannie Bailey, from Dalton, has

(Jen tie men —I have been a sufferer with kidney
troubles for seventeen years and have been
treated by prominent physicians of this State
and Alabama. 1 Itave used lartte quantities of
medicines advertised to cure blood and kidney
diseases without receiving the slightest benefit.
About six weeks ago I suffered such inteuce pain
—scarcely being able to breathe at times—lcon
eluded to try “Huunicutt's Rheumatic Cure,” and
after using one bottle was entirely and absolute
ly cured, and for the Hrst time iu seventeen years
lam without the slightest pain, and earnestly
recommend all who suffer to give your Cure a
trial. Yours truly,

A couple of hands from .1. L. Irick's

to the gin. One of them concluded he
would smoke, and in striking a match,
set fire to the cotton. From appearances
iu the road they must have had a_ lively
time, but succeeded in extinguishing it by
losing about three hundred pounds of
cotton. I expect he will get off the load
next time he wants to smoke his pipe.

Bi o. White closed the work of the year
at (’assville on last Sunday, with one of
his best sermons. He has not missed a
single appointment during the year,
has added one hundred and twenty-seven
members to the different churches m his
work. This speaks well of how faithfully
he has labored. I expect there will be
very few better reports rendered to the
conference than Bro. White’s. He goes
with the full amounts for all his collec
tions, the preachers salery paid in full,
and all indebtiiess of the circuit settled
in toto. What circuit can beat this?
We are very anxious for the return of
Bro. White, for we have all- learned to
love him, as a people should love their
pastor. The ladies of the circuit treated
him to a very agreeable surprise, by
handing him an amount sufficient to buy
a handsome suit of clothes.
The ladies of Cassville church will have

I had the pleasure of listening- to two
very fine sermons from Rev. J. M. White
Sunday, one in the morning at Cassville,
and one in the evening at Cass. Mr.
White is an excellent preacher, a fine
speaker, and his manner always impresses
one that he is speaking from the heart.
Our people have learned to love him and
it will be sad indeed if he is not seut

In the reported proceedings of the trus
tees of the John F. Slater fund for the
education of freetimen, 1887, there are
included some entertaining opinions con
cerning the condition of the colored ieo
ple in the South. In February last, the
general agent for the fund, the Rev.
Atticus G. Haygood, of Oxford, Ga.,
sent out 300 circular letters asking the
judgment of the recipients thereof on the
matters inquired of. The circular was
sent throughout the South, to men of
both races, of every line of business and
of all shades of religious and political
opinion. The questions were as follows:
1. Do colored parents manifest interest
in the education of their children?
2. Are the common schools attended
by colored children improving iu their
character?
3. What are the average wages of com
mon laborers among thecolored |>eople?
4. Are the colored people disposed to
buy land?
5. Are there fewer mulattoes (children
with one parent white) born now than
twenty-five years ago?
(>. Do any considerable number of col
ored voters side with the temperance peo
ple in prohibition contests?
To these questions there were received
236 replies, differing widely in their esti
mates, but still an *average may be given
of them..
To the first question 230 replied “Yes.”
Some qualified their conclusions thus:
“More than the poor whites;” “Not so
intense, but more intelligent than a lew
years ago;” “Will send to school if they
have nothing to live on,” etc. The others
answered, “Not much,” “Spasmodic,”
and the like.
To the second question 193 answers
were “Yes.” The other answers were,
“Don’t know;” “Mentally, not morally;”
“Think not;” “Spoiled by political influ
ences,” etc.
To the third question the answers va
ried very much. The report concludes
that in the cotton States the average
“standing wages” for farm hands is $lO
a month, with board and lodging fur
nished; but that crops are generally
raised on shares.
To the fourth question 155 replies of
“Yes” were received. The others vary
from “No” and “Too poor” to “Flock to
towns because gregarious,” and “The
negro will buy a kingdom on a credit.”
To the fifth question 198 answers were
“Yes,” The others run about this way:
“More;” in the cities fewer;” “Fewer in
the country; not in the cities;” Not much
difference,” tfud “Don’t know.” “Every
colored man inquired of answered, “Few
er.” Some white men answered, “Fewer
mulatto births, but more prostitution
among colored women.” A planter re
plied: “I have worked 400 since 1874,
and only one white man's child has been
born among them.”
To the sixth question 103 replies of
“Yes” came in. The others wen* “No;”
“The better and more intelligent ele
ment;” “Under the liquor power.” etc.
A leading citizen of Atlanta wrote: “Pro
hibition carried the election here by the
negro vote.” Nearly all said the preach
ers, teachers and educated young men
sided with the prohibitionists.
