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! ♦ Notice to Bartow County Alliancemen.
