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.” ■ ♦ ♦ 1 handle nothing but the best goods and give nothing but the best prices for cotton.

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.

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.

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.

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. Ladies, Attention!

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.

Last week’s issue looked rather lone some, not because Grassdale alone was not represented, but so many failed. I had the same lawful excuse that I offered before. I assure you it was not from neglect, for 1 derive pleasure from doing what little I can to make the Courant- AmekicaN one of the best and newsiest papers, to which point it is fast climbing. Mr.s Pittard had a large number of her friends to a quilting and treated them to a splendid dinner. 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 much improved as to visit them. 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 returned to her home, after sjiending some time with the Misses Weems.

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.

Campbell, is beyond question the happiest man on the road between Fairmount and Cartersville. It is a boy. We learn that Mr. R. L. Boyd’s school at Oak Hill opened with flattering pros pects. We have heard nothing of late from our anticipated railroad. We think it is about time our old friend, Mr. T. Adding ton, or some of the ’ville boys were bring ing up something fresh.

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. The most successful tonic of the age— Pemberton’s French Wine Coca —is re commended by twenty thousand emi nent physicians f>r the cure of all ner vous affections, dyspepsia, sick head ache, etc. Is pleasant to -take, and will prove itself jeyond price.
