Democratic ’Executive Committee.
The Democratic Executive Committee
of the county will please meet together
at the court house on the Ist Tuesday in
August, at 12 m., for the purpose of de
termining upon the manner and matiei
of selecting delegates to the congression
al convention to be held in Cedartowu on
September 4th. to nominate a candi
date for Congress to represent the 7th
district. We trust every member of the
committee will be present. Other mat
ters of importance may come before you,
material to the welfare of the party.
Your personal presence is requested.
It. H. Jones,
A. F. Woolley,
Joint Chairmen.
Cartersville, Ga., July 16, 1888.
In the language of tin* Constitution’s
sage, keep your eye on Cartersville.
A Dahloneoa merchant advertises as
his specialties, garden seed, leather, gro
ceries and gold dust.
The Democrats of the yiattanooge
district have nominated Hon. Creed F.
Bates for Congress. It took 348 ballots
to do it.
It is disgusting to a free people like ours
to read of the great to do over the meet
ing of the crowned heads of Germany
and Russia.
It was once said, “See Rome, and die,”
but we say to the Northerners seeking
homes in the Sunny South, “See Carters
ville —locate here —and live.”
The Southern towns that do not make
an effort to secure a share of the influx of
population from the cold North the com
ing fall, will simply get left.
Mu. Blaine is to sail for home August
Ist. Though not wanted for President,
this extinguished American statesman
will be warmly welcomed back to his na
tive land.
We thought it was bad enough for the
preachers to elope with matrimonial in
tentions, but when it comes to editors
being forced to this resort, where’s your
boasted freedom of tin* press?
The sand Hies seem to be holding a con
vention in Chicago, also. The city is said
to be overrun with them, and on Satur
day street railroads were stopped, and
all public and private house! had to be
closed.
The State road should.ever remain the
property of the State, and be leased to
some strong corporation, whose interests
would induce them to constantly im
prove and increase its value and
efficiency.
Speaker Carlisle has notified Sena
tor Colquitt that he will not be able to
attend the Chautauqua, but will come to
Atlanta after Congress adjourns if de_
sired. The Chautauqua managers are
endeavoring to have him reconsider.
Mu. Seaborn Wright, of Romo, in a
speech at Cedartown Saturday last
spoke wisely when he classed Cartersville
as one of North Georgia’s three coming
cities. In the rounding up of results no +
the least of the three will he Cartersville.
In case of anything like a dead lock in
the seventh district Congressional Con
vention, would it not heal the breach
and throw good humor into the Demo
cratic ranks to nominate Bill Arp? And
Bartow’s quaint philosopher would
make a cracking good Congressman, too.
Bill Arp's casual remark that the bet.
ter element of Northern society was
mainly Republican in politics, is creating
considerable discussion in some quarters,
both North and South. While this may
possibly be true, it seems to us that
friend William was a little “too previous”
in announcing it.
Colquitt did right in refusing to invite
Mr. McKinley to come to Georgia to
make a tariff speech. Nobody has any
objection to McKinley’s coming, but it
would not be proper for leading Demo
crats to invite him. If the Republicans
want him it would be right and proper
for them to invite him.
The reunion of the 6th Georgia Cav
alry Regiment will be held Wednesday,
August Bth, 1888. at Sardis church,
Floyd county, fifteen miles west of
Rome on the Rome and Decatur Rail
road. Fare from Rome, will be forty
cents for the round trip. Trains will
leave Rome at 7:30 a. m. and return at
G p. m.
Tin* Lesson of Gettysburg.
Tie 1 ite reunion ot Federal and lon
federate veterans at the Gettysburg bat
tle-field. was one of the most important
assemblages since the w; r.
When the gallant* Gordon and Sickles
struck hands there il formed the electric
'current of fraternity and good will that
will widen in its circuit until the great
heart of the' nation by its pulsations
sends out the warm blood of patriotism
to the outermost bounderies of our
land.
Let the men who did the fighting come
together as often as possible. Let their
children and children's children learn to
honor their fathers’ worthy foemen as
they themselves are honored, and the
scheming demagogue will soon lose his
occupation.
But we started out to make a sugges
tion-one which we think for the good
of our section.
Cartersville is about middle ground of
the famous campaign between Sherman
and Johnson in Georgia.
A grand national reunion about mid
winter is the thing.
Let the men still living who followed
Johnson and Sherman come together in
a fraternal hand-shaking. Let the sons
of those who are dead come.
Let them come from the South.
Let them come from the North.
Let them together, look upon the fields
of Resaca, Kennesaw, Allatoona, Cass
ville.
We might inaugurate a movement
that would bring to ourgrand old county
many of the bravest and best men of all
sections.
We might gain from the gathering
many valuable citizens.
What we want is to let the world see
what our section is.
Think about this.
The Bill Passed.
The agony is over—for a time, at least.
The Mills bill passed the House on Satur
day, by a vote of 1(52 to 140.
Randall was paired with Hogg. The
following Democrats voted against the
bill: Merriman, Bliss and Greenmail, all
of New York, and Sowder. of Pennsylva
nia. Farrar dodged, and AlcAdoo voted
aye.
The Republicans who voted for the bill
are Nelson, of Minnesota; Fitch, t)f New
York; Anderson, of Iowa; Brown, of
North Carolina, and Hopkins, Independ
ent, of Virginia.
The only amendment on which ayes
and nays were demanded was putting
cotton ties on the free list. The vote on
this was 170 ayes to 128 nays. A num
ber of Republicans voted for amend
ment.
It would be well for the country, per
haps, if this were a settlement of the ques
tion, as it is but a step really toward a
revision of the tariff—the average reduc
tion, under this* bill, being only .about
ten per cent.
But the matter is not settled by a long
jump. The Senate, with its Republican
majority, has yet to act on the bill, and
it is hardly probable that it will pass
that body. So, after all, it is more than
likely that the present Congress will lea ve
the tariff about where they found it.
But taey’ve had lots of fun over it.
Judge Branham Withdraws.
The Rome Tribune of the 24th con
tained a card from Judge Joel Branham,
withdrawing from the Congressional
race. The reason, he says, is of a “pri
vate nature not necessary to mention
to the public.”
Many good men who favored Judge
Branham will regret tin’s step.
It is hard to tell what effect this with
drawal will have on the race, as Judge
Branham's friends seem to have been
scattered in such a way that they will
probably be pretty evenly divided among
the other candidates. Of course, the
friends of each of the other can
didates claim that it will strengthen the
cause of their particular man.
The race will now be between Clements
and Shumate, with Phillips and Reese as
possibilities.
The public interests would not suffer in
the hands of any of these worthy gentle
men, and the Courant-Americax will
cheerfully support either of them, when
nominated 1 y the convention.
Emerson.
We take pleasure in reproducing the
Constitution’s letter from the coming
city of Emerson.
Cartersville is proud of her sprightly
neighbor. The good old county of Bar
tow rejoices to see one of her children
flourish. Bhe is large enough and rich
enough to hold three or four fine, live
manufacturing cities.
Emerson is fortunate fn having among
her enterprising citizen s a colony of push
ing, working, live Yankees, and they are
taking hold with a vim.
Again, the Courant-American wafts
its best wishes to Emerson.
The Senate, last Friday, confirmed
Melville W. Fuller’s nomination to be
Chief Justice.
Ever alive to the interests of the peo
ple, the Western & Atlantic Railroad has
added another train between Atlanta and
Marietta, making, with the through
trains, seven trains each way per day
between those two cities. The last train
put on is scheduled to leave the union
depot at 11:45 a. m., and arrive at Ma
rietta at 12:39 p. m. Returning, leaves
Marietta at 2:01 and arrives in Atlanta
at 2:58 p. m.
IT KNACK NO 1.
Cartersville Gets the Furnace
and Steel Plant.
A Ked Letter Day For the Iron City—
1-iyely Prospects Ahead —The People
Flitliused—The Dawnof a Ntiv Era.
The attorneys of a syndicate ot North
ern and Southern gentlemen have been
here and on yesterday closed a contract
with the Cartersville Land Company and
the Cartersville Furnace Companies,
whereby they agree to erect an iron fur
nace and a mangnese furnace, to which
11 iey will apply and use the Pratt process
for dephosphorizing both the iron and
manganese ores, thereby turning out iron
and fero-manganese ready for the manu
facture of steel.
This pig and fero-manganese to be
used for steel purposes will be produced
at a cost very little, if any, in excess
of the cost of ordinary pig iron.
This syndicate represent large iron in
terests, and with ample capil al to back
their enterprise, will proceed to arrange
preliminaries for the prosecution of their
work at an early date.
The precise location has been settled
by them and granted by the land com
pany, and we trust now that the prelimi
naries have been arranged so satisfacto
rily to all parties our little city will leap
to the fiont and take her position among
the many bright and live cities of the
South.
Congratulations are in order all ’round.
Hurrah for our live land and furnace
companies!
