Birmingham draws on Bartow iron
for the supply of her furnaces. Carters

drawing on Birmingham or any other

Col. Stovall, of London, England,
said the other day: “I believe Carters
ville is the best place between Chatta

facturing. Within a radius of one hun
dred miles you have everything needed
for the manufacture of iron.”
Woman’s Work is the title of a new

This is interesting.
The Southern Steel Works, of Chatta

would find it to their interest to come

our people would doubtless offer them
other inducements.

For unmitigated cheek and consum

History of the Iron Industry of Bar
tow County.
The CouuAxy-AMERiuAN prints this
morning an admirable history of the
iron industry of Bartow county, from
the pen of our esteemed fellow-citizen,
(apt. D. W. K. Peacock.
We call special attention to this able
paper because it is one of unusual inter
est and wiilnot fail to pay anyone who
reads it.
The article covers the period between
the thirties, when a small furnace was es
tablished by early settlers in this county,
then a wild country, to the time of the
*ate civil war, when the smoke from sev
eral bloomeries and the whirr of the ma
chinery of a gigantic rolling mill and
nail factory, told of the work of the
busy iron makers. It was then that the
manufacture of iron was at its heighth
and this bi 1 fair to be one of the greatest
manufacturing centers of the country.
The devastations of war, however, left
the works in smouldering ruins, and the
only evidence left of their former great
ness were the blackened chimneys that
pointed heavenward.
•The writer refutes the assertions made
by parties, w ho, to say the least of it,
know not of w hat they were talking, that
only Dr. Lewis ever made a success of
iron making in Bartow county, and
points to Pool, D. S. and F. M. Ford,
Moore & Thomas, Mark A. Cooper and
John Lovvther, who made money at the
business. He regards iron making as a
most profitable business, and says no
place offers more inducement for the suc
cessful investment of money in iron
plants than Bartow county.
We are g id that Capt. Peacock has
taken the time and trouble to write the
article. Just at this time, while we are
on the eve of a great revival of the iron
industry, it is quite appropriate and
furnishes much food for thought. 11
money could be made by the old process
of iron making, and with poor shipping
facilities, we naturally conclude that the
same can be done now. The same hills
under which a world of wealth lay hid
den are here now, and with a railroad
that penetrates the coal fields of Ala
bama, offering good and cheap fuel for
the furnaces, and every other article that
is required for iron making at our very
doors, everyone is obliged to admit that
Cartersville is the very best place for this
business in the country, Birmingham not
excepted.
The suggestions which Capt. Peacock
offers in conclusion are good ones, and
the citizens of this city could not better
display their enterprise than by acting
upon them.
The Reduction of Passenger Rates.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad,
with a commendable show of enterprise,
has voluntarily reduced the local passen
ger rates over its road.
The rate now is two and a half cents
per mile for fifty miles and over, and will
go into effect the first of March. A Car
tersville man can save nearly enough on
a round trip to Atlanta under the new
rate to purchase his dinner—that is, if
he is not very bon ton and is willing to
stop at a hotel of less renown than the
Kimball.
The establishment of the new' rate is
a step taken that will be of great impor
tance to the towns along the line of the
road. It will, perhaps, be the means of
bringing many through Cherokee Geor
gia, who would not otherwise make the
trip, and will thus bring our section into
prominence. It will be beneficial in many
other ways.
This reduction is due to the efforts of
Mr. Joseph M. Brown, the general freight
and passenger agent of the road. Since
he has held this position he has on every
occasion shown himself to be, in the lan
guage of his illustrious father, a man of
fine judgment. To him is largely due
the great popularity of this line. He is
untiringand enterprising in his work'and
studies to the advancement and profit of
the road and the country tributary to it.
He has the laudable ambition to help
build up, with the influence and aid of
the railroad, the Cherokee section of the
State, a country rich in its mineral and
agricultural wealth. With such power
ful influence in our favor it is not hard to
foretell the future greatness of this sec
tion.
I*n answer to the question why the re
duction was made Mr. Brown stated to a
reporter of the Atlanta Constitution:
“Our object was to build up the towns
on the line of the Western and Atlantic
railroad, to give to Atlanta and to Chat
tanooga facilities for trading with the
people of Marietta, of Adairsville, of
Resaca, of Ringgold and other stations
on the Western and Atlantic railroad.
There is considerable attention being di
rected now to Marietta as a winter and
summer excursion point. We wish to
help the town into prominence in this
respect. There are strong endeavors
being made to attract a large influx of
capital to develop the iron resources of
Cartersville and vicinity. We wish to
help Cartersville achieve this object. So
l might give numberless other instances.”
The New York Times, of January .‘list,
says: “Some of the capitalists origi
nally interested in the East and West
Railroad of Alabama have agreed to
turn into that company’s treasury
$550,000 of its first mortgage bonds,
$250,000 to be canceled, and $.’100,000
to be used to raise further funds for the
road. But involved in this proposition
is a scheme to continue the old Groves
teen A Pell parly in control of the road
through anew issue of preferred stoek.
The outlook for this roud has materially
improved since the New York investors
who were stuck with its securities took
aggressive steps for self-protection.”

HOPEFUL. CARTEKSVILLE.
Encouraging Wo <l* From Our Bright
Neighbor in Home.
Tribune of Koine.]
Evidences are multiplying that our
bright neighbor of Cartersviile is moving
rightly and steadily toward the future
which is in store for her.
There is a consistent current of enthu
siasm and confidence coursing through
the town every day, and good results are
floating to the surface.
Of course Cartersviile has had all these
mineral and agricultural advantages over
which she now cheerfully dilates, for the
last half century, sleeping in her hills
and valleys and her people have known
of them and believed in them for the last
ten years.
But, as usual, when a people content
themselves with knowing and believing,
without doing, nothing is accomplished
and dead lethargy prevails—as it has in
the well-equipped and nobly-circled town
of Cartersviile.
But the missing element in these great
possibilities has been found at last in the
quickened energies of an awakened peo
ple. The people of the town have real
ized that the future lies in their active
hands rather than in their rich hills and
fertile valleys, and they are going to work.
The best evidence is that they are raising
money.
They have raised SI,OOO for advertising
purposes to begin with, and they are put
ting their money with outside money to
build up manufactories and mills. In
other words they are turning their own
money loose, and here's the point. It
should be written above the private desk
of every business man in Home in letters
of light and constant reminder:
A town will begin to grow and prosper
like magic, the very instant its own busi
ness men let loose their money upon en
terprise and development. This is the
whole secret of booms.

A Seventh District. Man Gives liis Views

Atlanta, Ga., February 5. —A promi
nent politician from the Seventh district,
who is in the city, says: “You can rest
assured that there is fun and lots of it
ahead for the bo3's in the Seventh. We
are expecting a lively campaign this fall.
Congressman Clements, of course, will be
in the field for renomination, and he will
have Judge Joel Branham as a formida
ble competitor. Clements, in several
campaigns, has shown his staying quali
ties, but he will have to ‘get up and get’
to down Branham this fall.
“What about Ur. Felton? The doctor
is very quiet at present. To tell you the
truth, his ambition is to be Governor of
Georgia, but he has concluded that it is
impossible to be elected. If he so desires
Bartow will send him to the House until
he no longer desires it, but he hardly
wants to come back again. Felton has
a desire to return to Congress, and I be
lieve if lie sees any chance he will tackle
the Democratic nominee. But the gener
al impression is that he is not near so
strong as he was before the loss of Chero
kee to the district, and two or three other
counties which was in his stronghold,
which were transferred to the Ninth ; be
sides, other things havegreatly weakened
him.”
ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, for

The Baby King of Spain.
Your correspondent at Madrid is en
abled to state, and he does so with loyal
pride and delight, that the baby King o*
Spain is getting on splendidly with his
teething, and is growing plumper and
stronger every day. Your readers were
duly informed of his majesty s behavior
upon the occasion of the opening of the
Cortes at the beginning of December,
and that on the whole it was more infan
tile than majestic. At present, however,
the baby King has in hand a state func
tion much more to his liking. A year
ago, although he did not know it, he sent
to the Sultan of Morocco, whom state
interests demand that he should propiti
ate, a lot ot tine presents, and now the
grizzly black old Sultan is about to re
turn the favor of his royal infant bene
factor.
A special mission is to be despatched to
Madrid. The mission will be composed
of Ben Abdes Adak, governor of Tan
ler, and Tukee Kerdudi, the Sultan s
own private secretary. They will take
with them many mule loads of presents,
which they will lay at the King of Spain s
tiny feet. The presents will consist chief,
ly of wonderful engraved daggers and
muskets and some remarkably live ani
mals. What joy will be that of the Span
ish King when he receives these things in
state, how excitedly he will flop around
in his nurse's arms! He will probably
realize for the first time in his life that it
is really worth a baby’s while to be a
king, and that he has advantages over
the American boy who spends an entire
.youth hungering for one small pistol.—

What “Peculiar” Means.
Applied to Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the
word Peculiar is of great importance.
It means that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is
different from other preparations in
many vital points, which make it a
thoroughly honest and reliable medicine.
It is Peculiar, in a strictly medicinal
sense, first, in the combination of re
medial agents used ; second, in the pro
portion in which they are prepared;
third, in the process by which the active
curative properties of the medicine are
secured. Study these points well. They
mean volumes. They make Hood’s Sar
saparilla Peculiar in its curative powers,
as it accomplishes wonderful cures hith
erto unknown, and which give to Hood’s
Sarsaparilla a-clear right to the title of
“The greatest blood purifier ever dis
covered.” jan 13-liy
