Notwithstanding all the gloomy fore

the spring, the news goes abroad that
there is to be a good average crop; and
that the business outlook was never

CARTEKSVII.LE IS NOT 11l All.
From this extract from the Tax Digest
of the city of Cartcrsville for tl.e year
1885 and 1886, it will be 3een that not
withstanding the business vicissitudes
throughout the country, our town in
creased in wealth in spitq of them. This
is a fact established by the figures here
produced; and these figures are not
brought about by over assessment for they
are the same as last year, excepting as im
provements have made an increase in
value.
We repeat what we have heretofore
said, and that is that Cartersville is not a
dead town, but one with a steady, healthy
growth. Her prospects were never
brighter, and she is upon the eve of a
great boom.

TH F. ISAKTHyUAKISS.
Within the past week the United States
have experienced one of the greatest pliys-
ical disturbances recorded in American
history. A land that wa3 free from the
frightful and terrorizing commotions of an
earthquake lias been shakened until
brave men felt as helpless as babes, and
the very ground reeled and groaned be
neath the burden of human structures.
Never before lias there been such univci
sal fright and consternation among the
American people. Poor Charleston, the
once beautiful city by the sea, not only
offered many lives as a sacrifice to ap
pease the wrath of the dire phenomenon,
but many millions of dollars’ worth of
property, now lies prostrate and blighted.
Her ruined and wrecked condition beggars
description; her demoralized and impover
ished citizens are receiving the sympathy
and aid of the people through
out this land. In almost every city of the
union liberal contributions have been for
warded for their relief. The generous,
warm-hearted people of this great nation
will increase their material aid to this ill
fated city until the arteries of her com
merce again pulsate with vigor and
strength, and her shattered walls are re
builded.
While this shock has been to this coun
try a most fearful calamity, yet, compared
to some of the earthquakes in history it is
but a mere convulsion. The statement
that more than 13,000,000 of people have
been killed by them, impressively warns
us against the inadequacy of man’s power
of protection against Nature’s dangerous
whims and caprices. We have recorded
the story of Calebria’s awful earthquake,
in which 100,000 people were killed, and
the awful wave at Lisbon that swallowed
up 60,000 people in six minutes.
Earthquakes are as old as the world,
and have visited every quarter of the
globe.
TO THE VOTERS OF HARTOW COUNTY.
Fsllow Citizens : I am a candidate
or the Legislature and respectfully solicit
your votes for this important and respon
sible office.
If I should be honored by your selec
tion as one of the Representatives from
this county in the next General Assembly
of the State the platform of principles
which will guide my official action may
be found in my record as your Represen
tative in the last State Legislature.
Probably every leading question Avhich
will engage the attention of our approach
ing General Assembly was to some extent
considered by our last Legislature. In
my votes and speeches upon these vari
ous questions of legislation you will find
a certain guide to my future legislative
facts.
In that Legislature I opposed the sale ot
the Western & Atlantic. Railroad.
I favored and advocated the release of
that road at its full rental value—the
lease to be made solely in the interest of
the taxpayers of the State.
I favored and advocated the contin
uance of the Railroad Commission with
unimpaired powers.
I introduced a bill and favored its pas
sage to give the Railroad Commission
power and authority to prevent unjust
discriminations in freight charges against
places and individuals—to encourage
railroad competition and prevent railroad
monopoly.
I favored and advocated the establish
ment of a prison for juvenile offenders
under fifteen years of age, who had been
convicted of crime not punishable with
death, and of misdemeanors, where they
could be confined at labor separate from
the criminals and management of our
present chaingang system.
I opposed all prison systems which
bring convict labor into conflict with the
free and honest labor of the State.
I favored and advocated the passage ®f
a general local option bill by which a
majority of the qualified voters of any
county in the State can prohibit the liquor
traffic in their county: I also supported
the local bill under AvhPh this county
has prohibited the sale of intoxicating
liquors within its borders.
The above, fellow-citizens, is n synop
sis of my record as one of your represen
tatives in the last State Legislature, and,
after matefre reflection, I pledge myself, if
honored by you Avith a seat in the next
Legislature, to stand by and emphasize as
occasion may arise every one of these my
former positions.
If new questions arise I will act with a
single eye to the prosperity and happiness
of the*people of the State of Georgia.
||lMgk Very Respectfully,
V'X - W. 11. Fej/ton.
FKORI COLONEL CATERS.
To Messrs. Edwards, Adams, Bibb, Ham
bright, King, Calhoun, Graham, John -
son, Sheats, Vetch, Lewis and others.
Gentlemen: delay in answering the
letter you have seen proper to address to
me is not from any want of appreciation
on my part of the sincerity of your mo
tives or of the honor you confer in the ex
pressions of your confidence and regards.
I have thus long delayed my answer
that I might give the subject matter of
your communication the reflection which
;it demands from me; while my appreci
; ation of the responsibility you suggest
and my esteem for you personally pre
vents me from hastily assuming any posi
tion which would lower the one or com
i promise tho other.
You may rest assured that I was per
fectly sincere in the convictions of my
mind as expressed in my letter to the ed
itor of the Courant and as pulished in
that journal on the • day of August.
It is not a trivial matter to represent
the people, the sovereignty of our land, in
any deliberative body. To assume in the
presence of this sovereignty the capacity
,or the virtues of a wise and just states
manship is at best presuming, if indeed it
is not the expression of self conceitj
Hence, I haye hesitated until I could ad
vise with others who know r me intimately
and are better judges of my weakness and
of my strength than I desire to be. It
was for this reason have I answered
friends in different sections of the county,
expressing my unwillingness to become a
candidate for the Legislature.
You are pleased to refer to the services
which I have heretofore rendered the
State as a reasou w r hy you now ask me to
serve the good people of Bartow as a rep
resentative. Whatever these services may
have been rest assured-they were prompt
ed by no motives of personal ambition.
Wnatever of appreciation has reached me
from my fellow citizens or from persons
in official station, in substantial expres
sions of their approval, are cherished the
more because of the consciousness I have
that my sole purpose was to honor them
in the disinterested service of my country.
From the natal day of my manhood,
whether on the battle field or in the civil
walks of life, I have written my history as
a Georgian among Georgians in an un
sealed book. On no page of this Can be
found the evidence of selfish desires grat
ified at the expense of the people of the
State. In no instance have I ever refused
to respond to a call where I was made
sensible of my obligation of duty. Cer
tainly, then, I will not now r , when as
sured that a people among whom I have
lived so happily and openly, and with
whose interests I am identified, desire my
services.
I cannot, in this communication, pre
sent my views upon such subjects of gen
eral or local interests as may come before
the Legislature. These views are gener
ally known to my neighbors. It is but
just, however, to myself and the citizens
of your sections of the county, that I
should be heard upon them with no un
certain expressions of conviction. I will
endeavor to address our people upon some
of these questions whenever an opportu
nity shall offer. To some of the good
people I may be unknown, but to none,
not the humblest, am I unapproachable ;
to all I am and can be no more than to
each of you a citizen who is most honored
in a consciousness of duty fully dis
charged.
Thanking you for the very complxmeM
tary terms in which you have seen proper
to convey to me your good will, I am
Your friend and fellow-citizen,
Henry D. Capers.

KINGSTON BIIDGKT,
The earthquake and the suffering
people in Charleston and Summeraville
is the constant theme since the Ist.
Our quiet little burg was considerably
shook up on Tuesday night the 31st.
Squire Burrough had retired and was
doziug. His house is near the colored
Methodist Church, and when his house
began to shake and tremble he jumped
up and mu and opened the door and
Rev. Watson quoted his text in a strong
voice. “Awake thou that sleepe3t and
arise from tlie dead.” Squire said he
began to feel alarmed, and for a Avliile
he could not take in the situation.
A considerable number of our citizen*
went to Cartersville Sunday to attend
the tabernacle services.
Rev J. E. Eugland, pastor of the
Methodist Church, filled his pulpit here
Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. Jas. F. Hargis has opened a good
stock of fancy groceries at the Tom
Cobb store house.
Miss Pattie Goldwire left Friday
morning for Cave Springs to take
charge of the music department of the
H earn High School.
We notice Mr. Charles Davidson, of
Rome, and Mr. Howell Cloud, of At
lanta, visiting them parents.
Mr. B. W. Lewis, of Adairsville, is
visiting his son, Mr. J. P. Lewis.
Jackie.
Really, it does seem that this earth
would get tired of this continual rolling
business, and settle quietly and perma
nently doAvn in some one place. Common
'humanity Avould rest easier.
As Jennie Deans once said in her mem
orable address to the Queen: “It is not
what Ave have done for ourselves, but
w r hat we have done for others that we think
on most pleasantly.” Realize the pure pleas
ure by recommending White’s Cream
Vermifuge, the best worm medicine ever
prepared. It meaiis Death to Av®rms,
health to children.
In mansions, in Avretched tenement
houses, in frontier shanties, in the mines,
avc hear commendatory words ot Tabler’s
Buckeye Pile Ointment because it is a
never failing remedy for piles. You have
no one to blame butyouself if afflicted
with piles, you sit sighing in the chimney
c >ruer when a bottle of Tabler’s Buckeye
Pile Ointment would relief.
WORDS FROM COL. STANS ELL.
Mr. Editor : Will you allow a little
talk through your paper to the temper
ance people of this county, and to all who
are friendly to the prohibition movement,
not for the purpose of trying to influence
any man outside of his judgment, either
in his moral, religious or political views.
Abuses which are familiar to all are not
easily (prgotten, and any effort to restore
them will justify all good citizens in a se
rious inquiry after solid principal. The
people stand on individual judgment, and
demand that all candidates announce
their principles and policy on this great
prohibition question. This they ought to
do no matter how it may affect their
chances for election.
If we send simply a man to the Legisla
ture it will amount to but very little, es
pecially if his policy is adjustable. But if
we send fixed principles, which are in
harmony with this great popular effort to
advance, then if representatives are backed
by resolution and ability t move for
ward this will amount to a great deal.
The times require that our representa
tives should be men firm in purpose, of
decided convictions, and bold to speak
out and maintain the sight. The days of
milk and cider and fence-riding on this
plain question have passed away, and
hope rises high, that such old, ill-fated
times that made men undecided may nev
er return. This question is easily under
stood. Any man ought to be able to set
tle it for himself just as soon as the mind
can sweep over both sides—take in the
right and reject the wrong.
Selling whiskey and killing people by
its use is either right and ought to be
brought back with the old custom re es
tablished, or it is wrong and the law
ought to remain, without any other excit
ing contest over it. When this liquor
selling business is stripped of personal in
terest and the efforts of adroit men to
hitch it on to other things by way of
apology for it, then the question comes
before us, naked, pure and simple, shall
the right be maintained, or shall we tem
porize, back down and invite the wrong
because it comes to us from former evil
times. Such a policy as this would hem
iu all advancement and drive us the other
way. If the people stand upon their wis
dom and morality they will never toler
ate a candidate who winks at any sort Of
retrograde movement. The plain facts as
to the fayorable tendency of prohibition
in our county are matters of every day
observation. The moral effects of the pro
hibition law and the evil growing out of
its clandestine violation are now rapidly,
passing into history from the public rec
ords of the country. And the oounty
that takes the lead in this great advance
movement for betterment and reform may
justly be proud of her position ; and so
may the candidates for the Legislature
who are willing to take a bold and manly
ground and let the people know it.
Justice, fairness and solid thought,
touching the greatest good to the greatest
number demands this much from every
candidate, with no uncertain voice. If it
is withheld and success at the election
comes, such a representation will be the
merest hoax, because firm position upon
this serious question which is now divid
ing the people is the very thing which
should control, to the exclusion of all
other minor considerations.
A desire to obtain a public office by si
lence, or hiding out the true principles of
the candidate, or to confer it by passion,
prejudice or for personal interest on the
part of any of the people, are the very
things that ought to be laid aside. And
whenever personal interest is found to be
in conflict with the public good restraint
by law is the proper remedy, even if it
closes up a bar-room; and whenever a
candidate seeks position by splitting his
principles, or by withholding his views, a
minority vote will have paper enough in
it to make a cap exactly to fit him.
'lt is a notorious fact that whenever a
man follows up whiskey on any of its
lines it always plunges him into the big
gest trouble of his life and leaves him to
take care of himself at a point where
whiskey can afford no relief. Candidates
are men and whiskey is no respecter of
persons. It dowms them nil, commencing
with its friends ; and if a candidate is one
of its iriends after defeat then triple
trouble comes: the office is gone, public
confidence is gone and whiskey refuses to
bind np the wounds or moify with oint
ment.
For one time let all the candidates,
even if there should be a dozen, speak
out and say exactly what they are in favor
of doing with prohibition, and just how
far they are friendly to the retail saloons.

About twenty yegrs ago I discoveed a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, Dut without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tncy applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before £ had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing np. My general
health had. been had for two or three years—l had a hacking cougn and spit blood contin
ually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
