Cartersville as a Summer Resort.
In the these days of financial depres
sion, the demand has arisen for summer
resorts where men of moderate means
can take their families for a few months
stay during the heated terms. The wa
tering places no longer remain in their
reach and they are forced to remain at
home or find a mountain retreat where
pure air and attractive scenery can be
had for less money. The towns in the
mountains of Georgia have proven just
such spots for this class of people, and
consequently the town that oilers the
most attractions is the town that captures
the bulk of the crowd. Heretofore Ma
rietta lias and is still enjoying a fine
reputation'in this line. Every house in
the town is crowded. Residents of the
place hare made additions to their
houses, hotels have been built and the
cry is yet for more room. At present the
town has become overcrowded and ap
plicants for quarters are turned away
every day.
There is no reason why our owti little
city could not add largely to her ex
chequer by following the example set by
Marietta. Surely we have the
attractions necessary. We are blessed
abundantly in that line. A few down
country families have found homes here
for the summer, and if the right exer
tions put forward thousands could be
be had. Between this and the opening
of another season we hope to see prepar
ations made on an extensive scale for the
entertainment of visitors. Let the ar
rangements be made, a little advertising
done and the work is accomplished.
Our pure water, beautiful mountain
scenery, and pleasant drives cannot
fail to attract them. In nearly every
city paper the advertisements of north
Georgia towns, putting forth their
claims as summer resorts are found, thus
attracting considerable patronage. Ev
ery town spends considerable money in
advertising, and in all cases the money
expended has proven remunerative. We
will call over a few of our principal at
tractions and let our readers judge for
themselves whether we have claims as a
summer resort.
THE ROWLAND SPRINGS.
Before the war these springs were the
most popular in the State, and the pro
prietors did an immense business in en
taining summer visitors. With a little
outlay of means the same lively scenes
that were had in and around the springs
then can be re-enactcd. The medical
properties of the w aters are the finest
in the state. The springs are beautifully
located, and under a live stock company
could be made to pay handsome divi
dends. There are already spacious
buildings on the property which could
be easily put in good repair. We hard
ly think these springs can much longer
remain unused. We will cite a late
case where the waters of these springs
have restored a citizen of our town. In
the early summer a physical wreck, the
wife of one of our most stirring business
men, was carried there. She was help
less and had to be carried wherever she
went. A few weeks after she arrived at
the springs she could not walk about the
house, and now she is enjoying good
health. The effects of the waters have
proven magical in her case. What they
have done for her can be done tor oth
ers. It is a crying shame that these wa
ters are allowed to go into waste when
there are so many invalids throughtout
the country seeking health. By all
means let some of our local capitalists
go to work and organize a stock compa
ny and put these springs in a condition
to entertain visitors.
our mountain drives.
There is probably no country under
the sun, unless it might be Switzerland,
that possesses more beautiful scenery
than ours, and drive in any direction
you will find new scenery and new ob
jects will attract the eye. The beautiful
“river road” drive, that wends its way
alongside the limpid Etowah is the most
romantic in the world. The towering
peaks, the old Cooper works ruins have
long ago found their way to the canvass
of the lucky artist. No one would ever
tire of traversing this drive during the
summer months. It has become cele
brated and nothing that we can say
would add anything to its already es
tablished renown.
The dark recesses of Saltpetre cave
aftords any amount of attraction for
pleasure seekers. Excursions of picnic
parties are had now and in every in
stance much pleasure is had. It never
has been fully explored. It is reached
in a very few hours from this place,
and parties can leave here in the morn
ing explore the cave and return late in
the afternoon. It is one of the most
pleasant trips that can be had.
The Tumlin mounds affords much ma
terial for the curious, and will repay the
time expended in visiting them hand
somely. They are always attractive,
and will come in for a liberal share of
attention. We could call over hun
dreds of excursions that could be had
that would fully take up the time of the
summer visitor. There’s the Barnesley’s
gardens, so well known throughout the
south. Fishing parties can find plenty
territory for there is no section more
liberally traversed by large and small
streams than ours. Taking it all in all
thereis no town the size of ours that af
fords more amusement to visitors.
The Tabernacle that will soon prove
a great benefit. Already arrangements
are being made for excursions from the
surrounding country during the meeting
that is soon to commence. These meet
ings, under the supervision of Rev. Sam
Jones, will attract thousands here eycry
summer.
There is no disputing the fact that we
have plenty of attractions and now what
we want is some enterprise displayed by
our people. Hundreds can be enter
tained in the private families of the
town, with a little extra cost in fixing
up and making additions. We already
hear of some that will add to their
houses the coming fall, to make room
for a few boarders during next and the
following summers. And last but not
least let a little printer’s ink be spread.
TUoua.ia.ls of handsomely gotten up
circulars are sent out from other towns'
annually. We have yet to hear of a
single thing done iu this line by our
city fathers. Let us awake and throw
oft' this lethargic spirit and keep up
with the procession at least.
Mobs in Georgia.
In the last few months mobs have
been more common than usual in Geor
gia, mobs organized to punish criminals
ior capital offenses. It is a deplorable
fact that they are becoming more numer
ous every day, notwithstanding the fact
that the statutes contain ample laws for
the punishment of all criminals. The
organization of these means but one
thing and that is there is a screw loose
somewhere in the administration of
justice. In Macon the other evening a
man by the name of Moore was lynched
for a nameless crime, and speakers in
addressing the mob referred to the
slackness and tardiness of the courts,
citing several cases where the blackest
criminals were allowed to go free or
serve out short sentences in the chain
gang. The people, the law-abiding
people of the county bad gotten tired
of this; criminals and loose characters
were allowed too much latitude and
their persons and property were in con
stant danger, all on account, they say,
of slackness in the courts.
It cannot reflect much credit to the
judges in whose circuits mobbing is re
sorted to to punish criminals. It, to the
contrary, points to slackness and an ut
ter disregard of duty, and under these
circumstances mob law becomes almost a
necessity. The law abiding people will
not tolerate continued crime. They
will protect their families and society
with their lives if it becomes necessary,
and it does seem that courts and juries
should know that. When punishment
is not to be had in the courts the only
recourse left is mob law, and dark is the
day when a community is compelled to
resort to this. The recent happenings
tend to teach those in power that peace
and good order will be sustained, that no
slackness or dilly dallying will be toler
ated. It means that law should be ad
ministered without respect to persons or
their circumstances in life.
The campaign for the governorship of
Tennessee will be a decent one at least.
The two candidates are brothers and the
usual family scandals will tor once in
the annals of American political history
be left in the background.

MOB HANGING IN MACON.
Macon, Ga., August 13. —James
Moore, who attacked Miss Little, the
country girl, was hanged this morning at
1 o’clock by a mob.
Feople began going to the jail about 8
o’clock last night, and by 9 there were
perhaps filty or one hundred persons on
the sidewalk and street.
About 9 o’clock the sheriff telegraphed
the following to the Governor:
“H. D. McDaniel, Governor, Atlanta:
I have a prisoner, James Moore, who is
threatened with mob violence. What
shall I do.
[Signed. l S. G.Westcott, Sheriff.”
The following was the reply :
Atlanta, Aug. 12. —S. G. Wescott,
sheriff of Bibb county: Your telegram
addressed to Gov. McDaniel, saying
“You have prisoner Jas. Moore threat
ened with mob violence, what will I
do?” has just been handed to me at the
hour of 12 o’clock at night. The Gov
ernor is absent on official business,
inspecting the Marietta & North Georgia
railroad extension. Replying promptly
to your telegram, I can only say that
you have the authority as sheriff to sum
mon every man in the county, if necces
sary, to act as a posse to aid you in
preventing the threatened mob violence,
and that such a call properly made, will,
is is believed, receive ready response
from the law-abiding citizens of the
county.
H. E. W. Palmer, Sec. Ex. Dept.
The reply was received a few minutes
after 1 o’clock, after the jailer had sum
moned his posse.
MOORE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
About 11:30 o’clock Jailer Birdsong
heard loud breathing in the upper tier of
cells where Moore was confined. He
went up stairs at once and found Moore
hanging by the neck in the cell, his eyes
protruding and the froth hanging out
of his mouth like a long white beard.
Jailer Birdsong ordered Will Jackson
and N. M. Williams, the two white
prisoners confined in the same cell, to
release Moore on pain of being shot.
They complied at once, raising him up
and taking the cord from his neck.
He immediately recovered.
THE MOB STARTS.
When the city clock struck the hour of
12 it served to be the signal for the mob
to start from the old fair ground. In
twenty minutes they had arrived in the
jail. The mob seemed to be about three
hundred strong, and as they turned the
jail corner from Fifth street the huge
crowd at the jail gave way. The men in
advance wore white masks and carried
sledge hammers and crowbars. Each
man had his pistol drawn and marched
into the jail yard in good order.
On hearing of the approach of the mob,
Sheriff Wescott put a portion of his posse
inside the jail, and with several stood
upon the platform leading into the jail
office.
Mayor Price entreated the mob to
stop, promising that Moore wpuld have a
speedy trial. Sheriff Wescott also
pleaded with the mob to stay, but thej’
refused to listen and soon covered him
with a dozen revolvers. He refused to
give them the keys, and told them that if
they got in it would be by breaking down
the doors.
the attack.
In an instant the sheriff was rushed off
the platform, and a few well-directed
licks from the crowbar in the wooden
door which leads into the residence
portion of the jail.
Once inside, the mob fired off their
pistols, pointing them upward. They
were then met by the heavy iron door
which shut them off from the apartment
containing the cages. They began on
this with their sledge hammers, each
blow being distinctlv heard by the crowd
on the outside. It required twenty
minutes of hard work to break in the
door, and when it gave way a shout went
up which was echoed by the crowd out
side. It was a terrible surprise and the
crowd in the yard moved restlessly
about.
When the cage door was opened the
mob rushed in, but Jailer Birdsong and
Deputy Sheriff O’Pry had skipped out
by the back way. They were brought
back and displaying some dynamite
cartridges gave the jailer three minutes
in which to unlock the combination.
In tne meantime the key to the corridor
had been found hidden under a lounge
in the jailer’s sitting room.
Jailer Birdsong saw that resistance
was useless, and as he had some United
States prisoners to protect, he held a
hurried consultation with Sheriff’Wescott
and Mayor Price, and then at the point
of pistols unlocked the combination.
Moore was then taken out and hanged to
a tree in front of the house in which he
last saw his victim. The body was taken
down and carried to the city hall.
ARP’S LETTER.
Philosopher aud the Farmers.
From Suuday’B Constitution.]
Our people are happy and they are
proud. They swell around and say:
“We did this thing up brown. We treated
those farmers splendid, and they appre
ciated it. There’s nothing small about
Cartersville.”
Well, our folks did do their best, and
it was a fitting tribute to a notable body
of men—good men, honest men, unpre
tending men. It was an assemblage
that would do honor to any town. It
beat the Georgia legislature for talent and
sobriety and sincerity. There is no
lobbying about this convention; no
political strategy; no log rolling; but
they all come together to talk and to act
for the good of the state. When such
men as Judge Henderson and Colonel
Hardeman and Chancellor Mell and Dr.
Louis Jones and General Phillips and
Fannin and Nesbit and Northern and
Livingston and Waddell and Harrell and
Waring, and others of like charactor, are
seen iu an assembly of farmers, you
may know that the country is safe, I
wish they would come every year. Bar
tow county can afford to play the host to
such distinguished guests. Their very
presence has a good influence. Our
county is a little peculiar about politics
and some other things, but she is hospi
table and has a history to be proul of.
Old Mark A. Cooper was one of the
fathers—one of the pioneers—and there
was Charles Wallace Howard, and Dr.
Lewis, and Wm. H. Styles, and the
Rowlands, and Judge Trippe, and War
ren Akin, and old Judge Underwood,
and Dr. Miller and Judge Wright, all of
whom domiciled here and were men of
conviction, and dared to maintain them.
They were original thinkers and were
independent in politics and in religion.
Judge Wright and Dr. Miller are inde
pendent yet. They follow no multitude
just to be on the popular side. In fact
they run with the minority generally
and ask no favors.. Judge Wright has
got a cannon loaded right now with
buckshot and tacks and is ready to
demolish all the national banks at one
shot. There must be something: in the
air or the water that produces such men
in Bartow. Sam Jones was very quiet
and subdued until he moved here. Dr.
Felton never fired up his engine until he
settled down in Bartow. -Before the war
our planters lived like kings. They
were rich and proud. Their sons and
daughters went to college. They had
fine stock and kept up their annual fairs
and had fine carriages and plenty of
niggers. There were a few mortgages
recorded at the courthouse, but they
didn’t care for that as long as they could
renew from year to year. The niggers
kept increasing along and every one
that came was worth a hundred dollars,
and that would pay interest on the debt.
But the war was like the magician’s
wand. It said “Pre3to change,” and
the change came. Everything was up
set. The richer a man was the poorer
he became, and his proud children were
all the more helpless. But things are
about straightened out now and we are
moving along screnly in the new chan
nel. The rich men’s children and grand
children have settled down to business,
and the poor men’s children haye come
up along side, and we are all working
together. Pride has had a fall, but I
reckon it was all for the best.
Cartersville is a good, slow town, hut
it is sure. It has no boom and don’t
want any. The good things of this life
are all around us and nature is kind and
we are content. We have good churches,
good schools, good merchants, good
physicians, good water, pure air and
beautiful mountain scenery—and what
more do we mant. One thing I will
mention specially, as a modern phenom
enon, we had hut one bank and it failed
just a year ago and has since resumed
and paid every dollar principal and
interest. Nobody lost a dollar by Will
Howard, and never will, for his good old
father trained his boy that way. He is
honest, not only from policy, but from
principle. I mention this by way of
contrast with some of the banks of more
pretending cities that are not far away.
But you ought to see our big Tabernacle
that Sam Jones is building for the union
meetings. It is 120 feet long and 100 feet
wide and two stories high, and has a
bellvidere on top. That is a place for
the bell I reckon. Every community
ought to have some such place where all
the congregations could meet occasionally
and leave sectarianism outside. It
makes people more tolerant and broth
erly; it smothers bigotry and fanaticism.

Ths Question has probably been asked thousands

for which a reputable physician would prescribe IRON
Physicians recognize Iron as the best restorative
agent known to the profession, and inquiry of any
leading chemical firm will substantiate the assertion
that there are more preparations of iron than of any
other snbetanoe used in medicine. This shows con
clusively that iron is acknowledged to be the most
important factor in successful medical practice. It is,
however, a remarkable fact, that prior to the discov

“A BOWLD SOGER BOY.”
One of the Macon Volunteers and Hie
Ability ag a Drummer.
SAMUEL DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, GA.
The excellent picture we present at the head
of this column, is of a man who is as well and
favorably known in hie 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 I had a severe attack of
rheumatism, which completely disabled 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 w hen 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 bottles of his stuff, prepared 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 upon 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 give 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 had 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 & Cos., the manufacturers of
Hunmcutt’s Rheumatic Cuie, 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 be procured at wholesale from jobbing

10c. Store.
I would beg leave to inform the people of Bar
i tow county and surrounding country to the fact
that I have just opened a TEN CENT STORE
next door to Turner & Baker, jewelers, in Bank
Block, where I hope to sec the people of this
section.
In my stock will be found many useful house
hold articles that can be bought at the low price
of ten cents. I certainly offer unprecedented
bargains in needful articles. No article in the
house over ten cents.
In my stock will be found one-half gallon
coffee pots, one-gallon milk pails, eight-inch
wash basins, eight-quart dairy pans, gents’ all
linen 4-ply collars, all-linen towels 16x32, ladies’
balbnggan hose, ladies’ all-linen cape collars,
linen Torchon edging, oriental lace, splashers
16x32, and innumerable other articles, all of
which are indispensable with housekeepers.
Any of the above named articles I will sell
for the astonishing low figure of 10c. If you
want to get the largest amount of goods for the
smallest amount of money the “Ten Cent Store”
is the place.
Come one and all and secure sledge-hammer
bargains while you have the chance.
All I ask is a trial to convince you of the fact
that I sell cheaper than the cheapest . All are
invited to call and make an early and repeated
examination of my stock. New goods received
every day.
