Harper Hamilton, Esq., of Rome, Ga., Hpcnt a part of last week in Washington on professional business. He also took time to see many of his friends and visit the Georgetown Law School, where he graduated in 1888. He was full of enthusiasm about the prosperity of Home and North Georgia, and expressed the firm belief that Car tersville would one day be a suburb of Koine. I sat opposite him at a nice dinner at Prof. J. J. Darlington’s, on Friday evening, and he verily astonished the lit tle company by his accounts of the pros jwrity and progress of his town. He told of street-car liqes, magnificent new hotels, splendid iron bridges, scale factories, iron foundries, colleges, churches, railroads and rivers. He said that within ft year the people of Rome had sjrciit a million dollars or more in public-spirited enter prises, and that this was only a sample of what was yet to come. He said they could digore from their streets, arid hew marble from their seven hills, and then, when he drifted into scenery ami climate, it was like a dream of fairy land to follow him. With those mellow brown eyes of his beaming upon us, and a look of can did earnestness upon his face, it was im possible to regard his story with indiffer ence. When I was appealed to for con firmation I told them it must be as my friend Hamilton had said; that I was not very familiar with Rome and did not know positively of all its attractions, but as it was only about tvveiPy-tive miles from my own beautiful home of Carters ville (where his description could be ap plied with liberal truthfulness) I had every reason to believe he was correct. Ido not know how much the Rome Land and Improvement Company is pay ing Hamilton to boom the town, is certainly doing Qe work handsomely, and deserves liberal compensation. And it is because of enterprise and pub lic spirit like his that Rome is now the leading city of North Georgia. There seems to be no limit to the aggressive ness .of that town. 1 see Mr. Clements has introduced a bill for a government building there, to cost $150,000. It may not pass at this session, but they will get it before many sessions have passed, be cause the business and commercial im portance of the town will justify it. They ought to have it. Mr. Hamilton tells me that the young men of Rome are foremost in her public enterprises. That new blood*and fresh energy and vigorous minds and progress ive ideas are accomplishing the wonders that Rome is daily witnessing. He was too modest to intimate what part he was playing in the various enterprises for de veloping his town, but the enthusiasm with which he talked gave unmistakable evidence that he was in the thickest of the fight with his muscle, money ami mind, doing noble service for his native city. Rut while Rome is progressing it is pleasant to know that Cartersville is not asleep, and the chances are that, instead of being a suburb of Rome, she will stretch her borders and meet the City of the Hills about half-wa y—say, for con venience, in the neighborhood of Kings ton. And my brilliant and handsome brother Hamilton is put on notice here and now, that Cartersville is in the ling, that she is rousing herself and coming forth to meet the new conditions of her existence, and that Rome will have a fair and vigorous competitor in her twin sister of Rartow. It was good to be with Hamilton and catch the inspiration that his enthusiasm awakened. It is gladdening to the soul at a Georgian to know that his State is surely and grandly growing in wealth, importance and population. She holds ker course steadily at the front and shows a constantly increasing speed. It rests with the young men to fall-to and make her future all, and more, than it promises. * * I here is a suspicion of brimstone and blue-blazes in the atmosphere around the capitol these days. Up to a recent date Hie session of Congress has been dull, but He it'is an awakening now, and the gal h‘ry gods are having something to enter fuin them. Political grist is being ’■Pound and campaign material manu factured ready for delivery and consump tion during the next presidential contest. Ihe to P icß that agitate and irritate the opposing factions are pensions and tar -1 iciorin. Oi speech-making there seems o >c no end, and the war is being fought ° veV day by day. Of all the bitter and splenetic speeches delivered, that of Sen- THE COUKAK i'-AMEBICAN. ator Ingalls, of Kansas, caps the fodder pole. It was verily as bitter as gall, and was delivered with premeditated hate ami malice aforethought. He deliberately came down from his seat as President of the Senate and entered the fight without cause or provocation. It was advertised days in advance that he was to speak, and there was a rush for ths Senate the like of which is rarely seen. When he arose to speak there was not a vacant seat within the Senate chamber or the galleries. It wap a great audience and a great occasion. The people looked down on a tall, lean man, w ith a colorless face J eyes that seemed as cold glittering as the glasses through which they looked, a high, narrow forehqad, and long re ceediug head, iron-gray hair that grew thickly on top of bis head and stood up like the top-knot of a game rooster, stubby mustache and sharp-cut goatee, a manner cold and self-possessed and a body as struigbt as an Indian’s. When be began to speak they heard avoicethat was measured, clear as the sound of a bell and as cold as the touch of the north wind. His speech was on the bill to pen sion all soldiers of the late war who are now in need, known as the service j**n sion bill. His first sentence was an allu sion to a speech made by Senator Vest, a lew days before, in opposition to the bill. He characterized that speech as “combined and concentrated and coagu lated Cynicism,” and then he began his tirade of bitterness and abuse. Referring to the fact that Senator Vest had spoken of him (Ingalls) as a candidate for the Presidency, he sneeringly said that “the nomination and election of Grover Cleve land had made the pretensions of any American citizen to the Presidency re spectable. There was no man in this country whose ignorance was so pro found. whose obscurity so unpenetrable, w hose antecedents so degraded that he had not the right to aspire to the Presi dential nomination by the Democratic party.” This is given as only a taste. The speech was remarkable only for its bit terness. He threw mud at thedead Han cock, called McClellan an ally of the Con federacy, spoke of the fact that the South honored only those who were dis loyal to the Union, referred with sarcas tic bitterness to Henry Grady's deifica tion of Jeff. Davis in Atlanta, and his subsequent spilling of maple sugar in his speech at Jfew York, called ie officers of the Confederacy in charge of Anderson ville and Libby prison* jailers and mur derers. fought the battles of the war over again, and concluded by saying that this pensioning of Union soldiers was going to stop only “when the arrears of pen sions are paid ; when the limitation is re moved and every soldier on the rolls, or who gets on the rolls, is paid from the day of his disability, or in the case of a survivor, from the date of the soldier s death; and when every surviving soldier j of the Union army is put upon the rolls for service only. That is w hen it is going to stop, and if you don’t like it make the most of it ” Such was the speech of a Republican leader, made after deliberate preparation and without apology or explanation. Rut be it said to the credit of an intelligent people, there are not many, at least not all, of his own party who are willing to keep pace with the rampant cavortings of the Hon. John J. Ingalls, with the ac cent on the “galls.” W.J. N. - • .. Health Is WVaMi. is our motto, and vcho doubts its truth? He who has money and poor health is wretched, indeed.

Boston, March 12. —Sporting men were thunderstruck Saturday when they heard the news of the great battle on the other side of the water. . They considered it beyond belief that Sullivan had faced the Englishman for more than two hours and not knocking him out. It was pathetic in the extreme to hear some of the expressions of sympathy for the American champion. He was expected to win, and the fact that he did not was received in the same manner as the news of his defeat would have been. It was the unanimous opinion of all Sullivan’s warmest friends in Boston that the result of this battle would discourage the champion. It confims them that the champion's fighting days are practically ended. Don’t Experiment. You cannot afford to waste time in ex perimenting when your lungs are in danger.

They re Enabled t* Purclvme Supplies Cheaper ami Have Oliver Advanta ges—Hi** Sociwl Features 4 of the Clubs. What are the advantages of agricul tural clubs? The advantages of agri cultural clubs are many, that we as club men receive, which otherwise we trould not receive Article 2d of the Constitu tion says improvement in agriculture is; its aim and object. We are benefitted by the premium -acres contested for by mem bers of the club. For instance, a mem ber of the club receives a premium on some crop; well, he tells us how he pre pared, planted and worked it, kind of fertilizer used nnd how much, and the amount of crop harvested, showing whether profitable or not, so that others can do likewise if they so desire. Next, we are benefitted by meeting together once a month and discussing various subjects of interest to farmers, giving one another our experiences and ideas on various topics of importance to all. The social feature of this club is by no means unimportant. We become ac quainted w ith one another better than if we did not belong to a club, thereby hav ing a nearer feeling toward each other. We are profited by having an inspection committee to inspect our premises occa sionally—it makes some of us stir around to have things in order when the inspect or is looked. We are largely benefitted by purchasing various articles as a club. Through the efforts of the members of agricultural clubs in Georgia one article at least has been greatly reduced in price, and # tiiat article is fertilizers, which are used by nearly every farmer iu Georgia. Not only has the reduction on fertilizers been of advantage to clubmen, but it has been of some advantage to our brother iarmers*who are not members of a club. Not only on fertilizers are we benefitted, but on anything the club wishes to buy. Asa club we are recognized wherever we so desire, consequently we are getting our supplies from nearer headquarters. The purchasing agent for the club is by no a small matter, as through 4iim we can purchase goods at ftrsYcost, adding his commission, which is very little. We buy with the cash, and that is the way for us all to do—pay as you go. I think the country generally is in a more prosperous condition than heretofore. No doubt but what the clubs should share part of the honor for the same. The inner man is regaled once a month by a good dinner, prepared by the dif ferent ladies of the club. I doubt exceed ingly if the State of Georgia could excel the ladies of this club in the culinary de partment. I think if we could arrange to sell out produce to as good advantage as we are enabled to purchase anything we wish, the club would then be on a solid founda tion. • It matters not how- great the advant ages of agricultural clubs are if we put none of them into use. Let us put the things that are profitable to us into prac tice. I predict that the clubs, if con ducted properly, in a few years are des tined to work great good to the farmer. N. B.

How a Little 1 heelogical Student Was the Cause of the Newspapers Getting a “Sensation ” A highly sensational and exaggerated account of a recent occurence at Millers burg. Ky., concerning Miss Annie, daughter of Rev. Sain P. Jones, of this city, has been given publicity in the news pa jers of the country in the last few days. The dispatches state that at a meet ing Wing conducted by Rev. Joe Jones at that place a young theological stu dent by the name of Shockley wun called upon to pray, during which he took occasion to say that while Rev. Sam Joses wasgoing over thecountry preach ing the gospel to others his daughter was going to hell us fast as she could. Miss Jones, the dispatches say, became indignunt and left the meeting and sub. sequently left town for her home, say ing that she would not stay in a com munity where a lady was allowed to be so grossly insulted. Miss Jones did not leave Millersburg on the account stated. She came home because of sickness and when she fully recovers she will return to her duties at school. That is all there is in it. As to the little theological student, who took this occasion to gain notoriety for himself, and thus proved himself to be either a knave cr a fool, he is left to again seek that obscurity from which he was so suddenly plunged. t ity Court.

The de fendants introduced witnesses to prove that the shaft was not what was con tracted for, that the inscriptions could not be easily read, and that the shaft was other wise defective, and was therefore worth less for the purposes for which it was in tended.

Mathews—A Brother of Tolie Jack Mon Suspect’d of Cowmitiing the Crime. Mr. L. B. Matthews, a merchant of this city, is $340 short. Seventeen pieces of gleaming nnd glittering gold have gone glimmering, and the taker of them is be ing searched for. It happened in this way: Sometime ago Mr. Matthews carried home this money and placed it in a pigeon-hole of his secretary. This secretary is in the sitting room of his residence, and the family sleep in the second story of the house. For some time the money lay undisturbed, and its seeming safety delayed its owner in carrying out his original idea of putting it in the bank. Last Tuesday morning, however, it was discovered that some one had entered dnriug the night and made way with the precious plunder. A window’ and a door of the room were found open and the lid of the desk was down. The thief took the box containing the money and a box of cartridges, which was also in the desk, and, without disturbing anything else, left. The cartridge box was found in the yard the next morning. It is supposed the rogue, attracted by its weight, thought it also contained gold, and when he found out his mistake, threw it away. Concerning the loss of the money, Mr. Matthews said. “The theft, of course, was caused by my own careless ness: I carried the money there with the intention of taking it to the bank next day. I put this off day after day’, until the robber relieved me of the trouble.” “ Who do you suspect, Mr. Matthews?’’ “About that I would not like to say. The one who took the money must have been familiar with the house and knew the money was there. By’ reaching on top of the desk the thief could have got ten more, for I also had a good many pieces of coin there.” A young girl who was spending the night at the house was awakened by a slight jar, and said she heard some one walking down stairs. She aroused her companion, but as all was quiet by this time, they went-back to sleep. The matter has been placed in the hands of detectives, and we hope by our next issue we will be able to chronicle the capture of the thief. tore jackson’s brother suspected. Since the above has been put in type, Walter Jack sou, a boy about eighteen or nineteen years of age, has been arrested, charged with committing the crime. He was arrested last Wednesday b.v Marshal Wilkerson and brought to this city that afternoon and placed iu the county jail. Young Jackson appeared before ’Squire Smith yesterday’ morning for committal trial. The testimony against him was ? that he saw the money p acecl in the sec retary; that he was at the house Satur day night and left Sunday morning, and that he w r as seen in tow n Monday night at 8 o'clock, about one hour beiore it is thought the crime was commit ted. Young Jackson’s mother lives at Mr. Matthew’s home, and when in town he is a frequent visitor there. When arrested Jackson only had thirty-five cents in money, and if he got it no clue as yet has been dis covered as to what he did with it. ’Squire Smitn placed Jackson under a bond of SIOO to appear at the Superior court in April. At last accounts he had not made bond. Ye Olde Folk* Concert. . “Yeolde folks greate concerto,” given by the ladies of the Methodist and Pres byterian churches on last Friday evening, was one of the most enjoyable entertain ments ever given in Cartersville. The programme was unique and carried out in a manner most pleasing to the audi ence. The costumes were not only quaint and beautiful, but Strikingly becoming to “ye maidens faire.” “Ye raeune singers”—Goodman Icha bod Hallelujah Metre Barebones Owens Shadrach Silver-Tongue Milner, Xever be-Quick Je-Hos-I-Fat Milner, William Josiah Nightingale Akin—appeared to good advantage in ye paraphernalia of ye grandfathers. A more taking selec tion of “goodlie h.vrunes and tunes and likewise worldlie songes,” it would be difficult to find, and all rendered in such an excellent manner. Wee Alta Rowan, in a dress of forty years ago, sang “Ben Bolt” so sweetly and with clearness and distinctness rarely equalled b.v one of her years. The tableaux should not go unmentioned, for among them were some of the prettiest that we have ever seen— especially do the “Vestal Virgins” and those from mythology’ deserve notice. Indeed, the concert was a success from the first rising of the curtain till the last notes of “Auld Lang Syne” (in which the audience was invited to rise and join) had died away. 51.50 Per Annum— sc. a Copy. A WAYWARD WIFE. She Huns Away from a Husband Who Didn't Have the Courage to Stop Her. The trainmen and the passengers on the East & West Railroad afternoon passenger train were witnesses to a novel runaway last Monday. When the train coining towards Car tersville, reached Grady, a station on tha road, a.vounggirl got on. At Fish Creek the husband of this girl, for she was a married woman, appeared on the scene. He called conductor Goode aside and informed him that the woman in the car was his wife, and he strongly suspected that she was-in the act of running away; and that he had circumstantial evidence of her infidelity to him. As the train started to leave this station the muchly crushed husband got on board and entered the smoking car and through the windows of the two coaches closely watched the actions of his wife. At Waddell another uctor in this highly sensational drama appeared on the scene. It was the man who like a thief in the night had entered the home of this interesting collide and stole the tender affections of the wife. This man entered the first-class car and coolly took a seat by the side of his lady love, without knowing of the two great, green jealous eyes that were intently watching him from the other coach. The owner of the eyes, however, did not stir from his seat and thus heroically prevented what might have proven a bloody encounter. He contented himself with asking ques tions of the train hands who came back and forth. These soon “caught on” tft the racket, and surveyed the situation with much interest and the trio furnished them with much amusement. At Ladd's, two or three miles from Cartersville, the husband got off. The tickets of the oilier two were for this place, but they kept their seats. As the train rolled b.v the husband viciously shook his walking cane at the pair, and in retaliation the illicit lover shook his pocket knife at the man. The husband said he was going to the girl's pa’s house and tell him that his daughter had run away with another man. The ls.sfc seen of him he was making sturdy strides, and doubtless he carried out his threat. The runaways, relieved of the disagree able presence of the husband, brealhod easier. As soon as the train reached Cartersville they alighted and immedi ately went on a shopping expedition. The woman bought a pair of siloes and a pair of stockings, and they repaired to the waiting room of the W. & A. R. R., where these were put on. The Rome Ex press bore them Northward, and their destination was unknown. The name of the parties could not be learned. The girl waw not more than eighteen or nineteen years of age. She wore a short calico dress and her head was covered with a gingham poke bon net. The whole crowd seemed decidedly fresh.
