The Courant hoped that Bartow county
at least would be exempt from the rot of
personalism. However, we have an
abiding confidence in the good sense
the people of Bartow county and do not
believe they can be drawn into this con
test under existing circumstances.
When it comes to an issue between
Dr. Felton and the Atlanta Constitution,
the people of Bartow county will stand
by the former in the very last ditches.
The people have, however, not forgotten
the fact that the issue is the fitness of the
two distinguished candidates for the chief
magistracy of the commonwealth of
Georgia, and not the credibility of Dr.
Felton or of the Atlanta Constitution.
* * *
h on the past few weeks we have been
trying to run a paper with as little polit
ical matter as possible, and we find it a
hard road to travel. We know the peo
ple get a surfeit of the stuff and we are
not the one to nauseate them. We give the
news, state and local, which we find it a
hard matter to do, as the papers of the
state are brimming oyer with polities,
and seem to be paying little attention to
other matters. Outside of a circus a red
hot campaign is the most demoralizing
element extant.
Dk. Felton is an able gentleman and
one of our yery liest citizens, all of which
has been heartily attested to by the
earnest support of his county people
whenever he was a candidate for office.
We protest against this attempt, however,
of making the present gubernatorial
contest an issue between the Atlanta
Constitution and our distinguished fellow
citizen. They have quarrelled before
and our people have never been called
on to act as referee. To what miserable
straits have Maj. Bacon’s friends been
driven to in Bartow county ! They could
have easily elected their delegates with
out resorting to such means.
The bill for an injunction issued by the
Vv estern and Atlantic .Railroad against
the Railroad Commission of Georgia,
which was argued before Associate Jus
tice Woods in Chambers, on Tuesday,
has been denied upon the ground of the
injunction being prematurely applied
for. The Judge said that no evidence
had been shown that the Commission
had in any way attempted to inter
fere with the right of the road, and
that when it did then would be the
time to ask for an injunction.
A College for Cartersville.
Nothing enhances the moral worth or
progress of a town more than a well
managed college. Wherever they exist
refined people and a thrifty citizenship
arc found. It is these that have made
Athens, and LaOrange Is renowned for
her grand institutions of learning.
< Rher towns over the Syfie have be
come famous foif their colleges. Nest
ling in the mountains of North Georgia,
in the most,beautiful country in the
world, why could not Cartersville
boast of like advantages. .Surely the
surrounding country would heartily sus
tain a female college here.
These remarks are instigated by the
events that have transpired in the past
week in connection with our school ex
aminations and concerts. Our people
by their presence and plaudits have eon
| vinced us that they do feel an interest
in our educational affairs. They feel
that we are sadly deficient in tins respect,
not, however, in the matter of proper
facilities. Our teachers have done all
that they can do, and they have received
the praise of a thankful people.
On account of the lack of suitable
buildings, it Is so rumored, Mrs.
Brame, who has always been foremost
in our educational affairs, has decided to
remove from our midst. This is only a
rumor and we sincerely hope that it will
prove only a rumor. It will be a sad
day indeed should this talented lady
leave us.
.Something should be done to place our
lovely little city where she belongs in
the ranks of educational interests. Let
our people arise and speak in their might.
We all know these are distressingly hard
times, but something surely car* be
done.

Pro Bono Publico.
The following taken from that ex
cellent paper the Albany News and Ad
vertiser, is so full of sound and whole
some logic that wc take pleasure in
transferring it to our columns and giv
ing it our hearty endorsement:
In every community a few public
spirited men and women labor to ad
vance the public interest in various di
rections. They arc largely in the mi
nority, and very oftc‘ll are misunder
stood, and their motives frequently
impugned. But lho?e things do not
move them from their purpose of doing
all the good possible in their chosen
fields of labor. They recognize the
grand truth that “no man liveth to him
self,” and they put self behind them in
the desire to create healthful influences
for the young, or to accomplish some
needed public work. More appreciation
should be manifested of the- labors of
such self-sacrificing lives; and in time
we believe that every community will be
blessed with a greater number, and that
appreciation for all efforts for the public
advancement will become more gen
eral.
Every citizen should realize that he
is equally responsible for public errors
and abuses with his fellow, and that it
is his privilege as much as any other to
enjoy the benefits accruing from judi
cious improvements. To the end that
a community should advance morally,
intellectually and materially, all should
take active ihferest in its public affairs,
and contribute whatever is at their com
mand to foster its enterprises. The
wisest counsellors should direct public
energy. Private piques should be for
gotten,personal prejudices should be over
come, and all labor together in harmony
for the general welfare.
SCOTT AND HUNTINGDON.
About General Gordon’s Part in the Rail
road Contest.
Washington, June 12. —Editors Con
stitution. —I have observed with interest
the course of the gubernatorial campaign
in your state. While iam familiar with
his course in the senate, and have ob
served with amazement the assaults that
are being made on his integrity as a
senator, I appreciate fully the disdain
and contempt with which his friends
treat these charges, i can understand
why you, as a respectable newspaper,
and his leading supporter, would scorn
to reply in detail to any charge that af
reets his honor as a citizen or his integ
rity as a senator, but as the facts happen
to be in my possession, and as I was my
self interested in the Scott-Huntingdon
contest before congress, I take the liberty
of sending them to you, that you may
make such use of them as you please, and
that a senator of the United States,
WHOSE RECORD IS AS CLEAN AS ANY MAN
that ever sat in that body may not suffer
even in the opinion of those who do not
know him. I think every man in Wash
ington, certainly those wdio are ac
quainted with the events of the past ten
years, look with amazement upon any
attempt to besmirch General Gordon’s
record as a senator. No man ever
served his people more unselfishly, held
his place in the senate with more honor,
or left it with cleaner hands. This is the
universal and unbroken testimony of
every man who knows General Gordon
as a senator. Republicans as well as
democrats. His enemies as well as his
friends, in the senate he was above re
proach, and his private life was one of
marked a#id acknowledged purity.
BUT TO THE MATTER IN HAND.
General Gordon is charged in a vague
sort of way with having had some sort
of relations with C. I*. Huntingdon.
The facts are these: Mr. Huntingdon
asked nothing of congress. Mr. Thomas
Scott, of tlie i'emisylvania road, was
asking congress to indorse as a subsidy
fifty million ofdollfU-sof his Southern
Pacific bonds. These were §ix per cent
bonds, and when indorsed would have
been-worth about 130, which would have
made che subsidy sixty-five millions of
dollars. Mr. Huntingdon was then
building the same road that Mr. Scott
proposed to build. Huntingdon had not
received onedollftr from the government
on that road, ami did not ask a dollar.
Scott asked for sixty-five millions of dol
lars indorsement, lie stated that lie was
then building thoroad for nothing; that
Scott was asking sixty-five millions of
dollars to build, and he asked that con
gress would not give Scott sixty-rive
million dollars when he was ready to do
the same work for nothing.
THIS WAB THE EIGHT PURE AND SIMPLE.
General Gor<loii was recognized as the
leader of the opposition fo Scott’s de
mand for this enormous subsidy. He
argued that it was a useless expenditure
of the nation’s credh, because Hunting
don was then actually building at the
rate of a mile a day without one dollar
of government money or indorsement
the very road that Scott was asking
$05,000,000 tb help him build. For a
long time it looked as if Scott would get
his subsidy through; but Gordon’s ar
guments were simply unanswerable and
the Scott scheme failed and was voted !
down.
The sequel has justified the wisdom
and patriotism of General Gordon’s
course. Huntingdon has finished the
road that he was then building, and it is
now in operation. It filled every need
that Scott’s proposed road would have
filled and never cost the government one
cent in money or indorsement. If Gen
eral Gordon had remained silent. I think
no one who is familiar with the facts
will deny that
THE SCOTT BILL WOULD HAVE PASSED,
and that road which Huntingdon had
built for nothing, would have cost the
government the indorsement of $50,000,-
000 bonds, worth in the market $05,000,-
000.
This is fact of Hie fight. Huntingdon
asked for nothing. Scott asked for $50,-
000,000 indorsement. General Gordon
fought this scheme of Scott’s, and it was
finally whipped. Uet me take the im
possible assumption that General Gordon
was willing to barter his influence as a
senator, would he not have been found
on the side of Thomas Seott. the most
notorious lobbyist tins country has ever
seen. Of him it was said that he liter
ally owned the state of Pennsylvania, and
its press. He was then asking the govern
ment for the most
ENORMOUS INDORSEMENT
that any man ever petitioned congress
for within my knowledge, was not
that the side on which large sums of
money woidd be paid for influence ? It
certainly was the side on which the
strongest lobby that ever beseiged con
gress was arrayed. When General
Gordon opposed it he did what required
great courage. Many of the best men in
both houses favored Scott’s scheme, and
any man who opposed it understood that
has gone before the legislative body in
the history of American politics.
So much for the facts of the case.
The next point is Jhat Huntingdon in
his correspondence alluded to Gordon’s
having been taken oft' the railroad com
mittee and Bogy, of Missouri, having
been put on. In writing about this he
alluded to General Gordon as one of
“our men.” This allusion was per
fectly proper and natural. General Gor
don was opposing the Tom Seott scheme.
He
STOOD WITH HUNTINGDON
in this. Huntingdon’s allusion to him
as one of “our men” simply meant that
he was a man who was in sympathy
with his opposition to Mr. Scott’s
scheme. Just as Mr. Scott would have
alluded to those who favored his scheme
as “our men.”
In regard to the proposed trip to Cali
fornia, 1 remember distinctly why that
was proposed. The main point made by
Scott and his friends was that Hunting
don would never build the road.. They
argued that he could not do on his own
resources what Scott demanded an in
dorsement of $50,000,000 in bonds to do,
and that he was simply pretending to
build a road without government help in
order to break down Scott, who was
trying to get government help. In order
to answer this charge Huntingdon pro
posed to carry at his own expense any
members of congress, whether for him
or against him, across the continent, and
show just exactly what he was doing.
He was then building bis road at the
rate of a mile a day, and he was anxious
to show the members of congress that he
was in earnest, that the work was
progressing, and that several hundred
miles had already been built. I assume
if Gordon or ary other senator who op
posed Scott’s scheme was anxious for
those who favored it to take the proposed
trip with Huntingdon and get
PROOF FOR THEMSELVES
that he was in earnest and was at work.
Now, these are the lacts in the case.
Instead of being abus*.d for the opposi
tion he took in this matter, General Gor
don deserves a monument for having
saved this government from writing
its name on the back of $50,000,000 of
bonds to secure a trans-continental road
that he then contented would be built by
Huntingdon without a dollar of indorse
ment, and that has in fact already been
built. Especially should the southern
people appreciate the light led by Gor
don again*:t the scheme of Scott. llis
road while improperly called the South
ern Pacific was really a northern road.
Tt never entered the south this side of
Missouri. Huntingdon’s road on the
contrary was entirely a southern enter
prise. Its eastern terminus is Newport
News, and there is not a mile of it built
north of the Potomac river. It was
built without the cost of one dollar to
the government. The Scott road if it
had been built would have received the
indorsement of the government on $50,-
000,000 of bonds.
I think it very likely that abuse of Gor
don was heard by two men from Rome
about the hotels at that time. As 1 have
said before, the strongest lobby that ever
beseiged congress was gathered there in
the interest of Tom Scott’s scheme. The
hotels were full of lobbyists and they na
turally
DENOUNCED EVERY MAN
who opposed them. The $50,000,000 of
bonds when indorsed would have been
worth $05,000,000. The road itself would
not have cost over exceeding $40,000,000.
Here was a margiD of $25,000,000 be
tween the government indorsement and
the cost of the road. This is surely large
enough margin to have tilled the corri
dors of every hotel in Washington city,
with denunciations of Gordon who lead
the movement that crushed this scheme
and kept the hands of the lobbyist off
this enormous subsidy. But the charge
or insinuations that Gordon was influ
enced against this terrific and unscrupu
lous lobby by any motive except the pur
est is known to be false to every man
who was in Washington at that time.
I have written this without consulta
tion and without the knowledge of Gen
eral Gordon. I have written it as justice
to one of the ablest and purest men that
ever sat in the United States senate. The
feeling in Washington was intensely bit
ter during this struggle. General Gordon
was tireless and dauntless in demanding
that the government credit should not
he lent to the building of a road that wag
then being built without government
credit and that has been since finished
WITHOUT ONE DOLLAR
of government money. There were
other senators equally pure who con
tended that the government should lend
its credit to Scott and secure the building
of this road, and yet 1 can say that 1
never heard the motives of senators on
their side impugned during the whole of
the struggle, nor since. I do not believe
it was ever done, except by some misera
ble lobbyist, whose fee depended upon
the success of the scheme in which he
was engaged. Certainly no such charge
was ever made against Gordon, and his
colleagues of that day, and his successors
in the senate and the members of the
house and all who are aequanted with
the national legislation of the last ten
years will join in testifying without a
single exception, in my opinion, that the
south never sent a man to Washington
who bore himself more honorably or il
lustrated his people better than John B.
Gordon. If there was ever a whisper
against his perfect official integrity or his
purity in private life it was uttered and
died in the circles that were below reput
able notice or recognition. lie lived here
as most of the southern senators have
lived, in poverty, that was honorable
when we consider that it was endured in
the midst of such temptations as have
never assailed legislators before or since.

THE MAN ON THE 12th OF MAY.
An Accurate and Exact Account of the In
cident at Spottsylvanla Courthouse.
Atlanta Constitution. |
A correspondent asks us to give the
exact facts of the occurrence of the
twelfth of May, and asks if General Lee
ever endorsed the account of that heroic
action. Our correspondent states that
the Bacon men in his neighborhood say
that General Lee denied that such thing
ever took place. We present a full his
tory of the occurrence as taken from the
history of General Lee by Rev. J. Wm.
Jones, D. D.:
On the 10th of May, 18G4, the confed
erate lines were broken near Spottsyl va
nia courthouse; the federal troops poured
into the opening, and a terrible disaster
seemed imminent. As Early’s old di~
yision, now commanded by General John
B. Gordon, was being rapidly formed to
recapture tiie works, General Lee rode to
the front and took his position just in ad
vance of the colors of the Forty-ninth
regiment. He uttered not a word —he
was not the man for theatrical display—
but as he quietly took off his hat, and sat
on his war-horse the very personification
of the genius of battle, it was evident to
all that lie meant to lead the charge, and
a murmur of disapprobation ran down
the line. Just then the gallant Gordon
spurred to his side, seized the reins of
his horse, and exclaimed with deep anx
iety. ‘‘General Lee, this is no place for
you. Do go to the rear. These are Vir
ginians and Georgians, sir—men who
have never failed, and they will not fail
now—will you, boys? Is it necessary* for
General Lee to lead this charge?”
Loud cries of “No, no!” “General Lee
to the rear!” “General Lee to the rear!”
“We always try to do just what General
Gordon tells us, and we will drive them
hack if General Lee will only go to the
rear!” burst forth from the ranks.
While two soldiers led General Lee’s
horse to the rear, Gordon put himself in
front of his division, and his clear voice
rang out above the roar of the battle:
“Forward! Charge! and remember
your promise to General Lee!”
Not Napoleon’s magic words to his
Old Guard, “The eyes of your emperor
are upon you !” produced a happier ef
fect; and these brave fellows swept
grandly forward, stemmed the tide, drove
back five times their own numbers, re-

SAMUEL DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, GA.
The excellent picture we present at the head
of this column, is of a man who is as amt
favorably known in his capacity as a traveling
man or “drummer” as any one man in the
United States.
Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recently:
“About four years ago 1 had a severe attack of
rheumatism, which completely disalfled me for
a time,and which developed into what is com
monly called ‘chronic,’ attacking me when
least expected, and laying me up entirely; in
capacitating me for any kind of business, and
causing me as much suffering in a day as should
be crowded in a life time. After one of my most
severe attacks, and when I had just got able to
hobble around, I met J. M. Hunnicutt. an old
friend, and he said he could make a remedy
that would cure me, and, by gracious, he did. I
took two Ijottlea of his stuff, piepared from
roots and herbs, and I have never had a twinge
of rheumatism since. The medicine was not
prepared for sale at that time, but was manu
factured by Mr. Hunnicutt for his friends.
About six months ago it was determined to
place it ui>on the market, and a firm was organ
ized for that purpose. Two weeks ago, in the
midst of my suffering, I noted in one of their
advertisements that it was good for kidney
troubles also. I knew it Would cure rheuma
tism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles at once
and determined to Rive it a fair show at a kidney
disease of long standing. It may seem extrava
gant, but the first day’s use gave me relief, and
before I had completed taking one bottle my
disagreeable symptons hart entirely disap
peared. I have used two bottles up to this
time, and I have not felt a trace of my disease
fora week.”
J. M. Hunnicutt A Cos., the manufacturers of
Hnnmcutt’s Rheumatic C'uie, Atlanta, Ga„ as
sure us that their medicine is on sale at the low
price of SI.OO a bottle, at all reputable druggists
and can lie procured at wholesale from jobbing

St. Lons, June 14.—A special from
Chattanooga to the Post-Dispatch says
that Captain William Davis, for many
years superintendent of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, committed suicide on a
Great Southern south-bound train by
taking pans green. He leaves a large
family, who can assign no cause for the
deed.
In 18S0 Mr. Stephens said of John
Kelly : “I have stood by John Kelly in
his entire struggle, and have often said,
and now repeat, that I regard him as the
ablest, purest and truest statesman that I
have ever met from Xew York.”

industrial progress of the
SOUTH FOR TWO WEEKS.
From Baltimore Manufacturers’ Record. June
12,1896. | •
The growth of the industrial interests
of the South is really surprising. Week
after week shows a list of new enter
prises covering almost everv line of
manufueturing and lining that gives
some indication of the great industrial
development now in progress throughout
the Southern States. This growth is not
confined to any one State, though of
course more noticeable in some than In
others, but extends through the whole
South. All illustrating this industrial
development, the following summary of
new enterprises reported in our Con
struction Department for the last two
weeks only will prove of general in
terest : In Alabama, Mr. Samuel Thom
as and his associates arc preparing to
build a large furnace, SOOO,OOO in cash
having been put up against $400,000 in
mineral property, making the capital
of the company sl,ooo,OfiO, although the
land is said to be well worth $800,000; at
Sheffield, in the same State, the contract
lias been awarded for a 100-ton furnactu
$40,000 has been raised to build a cottoft
compress at Anniston; $40,000 are being

while "in gold mining operations there is
considerable activity. In Tennessee,
two iron furnaces are to be erected, a
SOO,OOO woolen mill is to he built at once,
a foundry is going up, several Hour
