CARTERSVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1886.
LUNATICS AND THE EARTHQUAKE.
How the Great Disturber W*n Received at
the State Lunatic A*yluni.
“C. Sharp” in Milledgeville Recorder.]
The regular Tuesday evening enter
tainment of the “Asylum Dilettanti”
was in progress, in the Amusement Hall
in the Female Convalescent building.
Strangely enough Capt. A. was singing,
“Oh Restless Sea,” when a sound like
distant thunder was heard and at the
same instant the building was felt to
quiver about as much as would be felt
upon a heavy peal of thunder. Several
at once asked “what is that?'’ to which
some replied, “Tis a thunder storm,”
others “a cyclone.” The writer went to
a window and looked out but seeing a
bright starlit sky and the trees not wav
ing in the wind, saw at once it was no
storm, but by that time the whole build
ing began to rock till he felt as if he
were on the deck of a vessel at sea, the
windows rattled, a crepitant sound as of
bricks grating together was heard, the
gas burners were seen to swing to and
fro, and in less than half the time it
takes to write it, he realized and cried
out in alarm, “Great Heavens it is an
earthquake, let us get out of here or we
will be killed,” and started for the door,
but ere he reached it the ceiling cracked,
some of the plastering fell and striking
him on the head and shoulders and blind
ing him with the dust, he naturally sup
posed in that supreme moment of terror
tiiat the whole building was tumbling in
upon him. The fifty or sixty persons,
male and female who were in the large
hall, most of them convalescent patients,
became once wild with a frenzied panic,
and the cries and shrieks and groans,
their blanched faces many of them look
ing into each others in panic stricken
terror without uttering a word and their
wild and frantic rush for the doors —that
were locked, made a scene of terror hard
to be imagined, much less described and
the memory of which will never be
effaced. Some fainted and some of the
patients who were in a state of convales-
cence when the shock occurred had their
minds so excited that they were thrown
entirely off their balance and had to be
taken in charge by their attendants and
taken to their rooms as soon as any one
could be sufficiently self-possessed to
Know what to do. The shock lasted as
near as can be guessed under such excit
ing circumstances about fifteen or twen
ty seconds, and so strong was the sway
ing of the floor that the writer experi
enced for the time that sensation of sea
sickness that he lias felt on board ship on
the Atlantic Ocean. It is difficult to im
agine and utterly impossible to give an
appreciable description of the sensations
as the floor was heaving under foot like
the deck of a vessel and the surrounding
wails , and gas fixtures swaying to and
fro, the plastering cracking over head
and falling, that crepitant sound of
bricks grating together, the rattle of
window sash all combined with that ter
rible ominous roar heard above the other
din with the cries, shrieks and groans of
frightened women and the pale terror
stricken faces of strong brave men. For
one man to feel all this and then see the
panic in others and feel the pelting of
the broken plaster upon his head and
shoulders and the dust in his eyes all
combined to constitute oue supreme mo
ment of apalling dread and fill the mind
and heart with a dazed, bewildering fear
that death was already upon him and
that tach breath was his last ere he were
a crushed and mangled mass buried be
neath the debris of brick and mortar.
While many were'so dazed that they
were completely paralyzed into an in
ability to even move. Others made a
rush for the doors, which were locked
and could only be opened by the atten
dants, and so great was the rush to the
door that they found it almost impos
sible to unlock them. After what in
that moment of extreme peril seemed
hours, the door was at last unlocked
and many lied to the open air. As soon
as that shock was over the writer, who
had got out, returned to the hall when
the doctors and attendants were doing
what they could to quiet the excited and
panic stricken crowd. Dr. Whittaker
in the most trying moment acted with
the most admirable self-denial and cool
heroism. Apparently ignoring his own
danger, he stood his ground and raising
his hand in an assuring manner called
aloud for all to keep still and remain
quiet, that they were safer there than
elsewhere —all seeming to have lost
sight of the fact that the portion of the
building they were then in was only one
story high while that through which
they would necessarily have had to es
cape, was three stories high and much
more liable to tall. Dr. O’Daniel too was
deserving of much credit for his pres
ence of mind in calming the fears of
and quieting the frightened patients.
He prevailed upon two visiting young
ladies to sit down at the piano and play
a duett to distract the attention from
more exciting scenes. A little later Dr.
Powell, with his usual imperturbable
dignity aud kind geniality, came in and
it was astonishing to see the instantane
ous effect his presence produced, for all
(although nothing was said to that effect)
seemed to express by their looks and ac
tions, “Ah, we are safe now, Dr. Powell
is here.” It must he very gratifying to
him to feel that all the patients have
such love and respect for and such confi
dence in him.
After the excitement had somewhat
subsided it was discovered that the build
ing was not seriously injured. There
wis a crack in the ceiling where it
joined the main building, but only
enough to throw down some plastering
and a similar crac k at the opposite end.
The time is here when a bottle of Cur
ry’s Diarrhoea and Dysentery Specifio
should be in every house. Take time by
the forelock and get a bottle.
MARRIAGE AND BUSINESS.
Christian Advocate.]
Marriage affords a sufficient, satisfying
and ennobling end for all business en
deavor. When the end of business life
is self, it debases manhood and produces
a creature of avarice, sordid and grovel
ing, whose - thoughts are materialized,
whose tears of sympathy are frozen,
whose feelings are fictitious. The bene
ficent end of business life is seen in the
change which the purpose of marriage
brings in the lives of young men. It is
sometimes observable twenty-four hours
after the betrothal, so wonderful is the
transforming power of a purpose on life
when love lies like a palpitating heart in
the bosom.
The loss of gallantry among young
men is an injury to business. It is an
ominous departure when they would
rather go in gangs by themselves than in
the companionship of young women.
The fact is hut too apparent that their
morals will not endure the restraint.
Tippling, doubtful conversation and ac
tion are restrained. Dishonesty does not
often overthrow young men in business
trusts who spend their leisure with
virtuous women. There is no more as
suring and beautiful sight than to see
young men and maidens going together
to the house of God. It has been the
means of saving multitudes. Young
men, have your own pew or sittings in
the church, and bring with you like a
man, the woman you respect. Feel it a
pleasant duty to serve these conservators
of society, whether you may be in loye
with them or not. Treat your mothers
and sisters with all the gallantry of the
one you love. It is a grateful and pleas
ing thing to any w oaian to receive this
attention, and it is manly and noble to
give it. Be gallant; it is right, it is
manly, it is a debt you pay and will pay
with interest in the end.
Marriage is related to the reverses of
business life, for business and what we
call prosperity are not now the same.
Adversities are often the best part of
business. A man is not often on a safe
business foundation until he has been
truly crazed by disaster. Then comes
the power of home life. Then the wife
often, like a tug, takes the whole family
out of the breakers into the broad sea of
prosperity. A man will come home in
financial disaster, often sorrowing most
as to how the wife will take it, and when
he gets there he will find that she is the
better man of the two, and girds up her
loins, and his, too, and is at it again to
repair the lost fortunes.
The business of life is not 90 much in
making money as in getting to be better,
and in helping others to be better—-in
getting rid of sinful habits, and in going
on to heaven. It is here that married
life is the mightiest force for good, ex
cept good itself. If a man have a Chris
tian wife her prayers and entreaties are
keeping him from hell. J*ier prayer
grip is holding him up from the pit.
How she has besought and stormed the
very gates of heaven for him. Oh, let
her lead where she is wisest and best!
Let marriage install each in that church
which the apostle says “is in thy house.”
Seek the kingdom of God, and when sor
row comes, which is an inevitable seg
ment of life, man and wife will be
brought into a unity that prosperity
never gives. Very sorely they weep
together over little graves. And if they
must part, the bitterness is mitigated in
the fact that love leaves its last kiss,
and love gives its tribute of tear3 at the
grave.
DROWNING OUT TRAMPS.
“Train Talk” Chicago Herald.]
“Great time we have with tramps,”
said the freight brakeman, cutting a chip
off the corner of a black plug. “They
are pretty sleek, those chaps are what
like to ride and not pay the company.
We dont care much for the company or
its earnings, but it is a matter of profes
sional pride with us not to be beat by a
dead head. One of the sleekest games I
ever knew of was played on us one morn
ing last week. A pair of tramps were
beating their way West, and I’ll bet it
would take you a month of Sunday to
guess where they were ridln’. In the
train was a flat car loaded with iron
water pipes and into these pipes the old
duffers had crawled. It was a right snug
berth. They had plenty of ventilation,
the pipes bein’ open at both ends and
laid length wise of die cars, and the sun
couldn’t bake em’ in the day nor the
dews of night fall on ’em.
“We couldn’t git at ’em, nuther, and
that was the worst of it. If we crawled
in after ’em the only thing we could do
was to crawl out again, ’cause no man
could pull another man out of a water
pipe. We tried to poke’em out with
fence rails, hut they were too short. The
tramps they cussed us an’ called us all
the names they could lay their dirty
tongues to, an’ that made us mad, an’
we swore we’d have ’em out o’there K
we had to dump that car of water pipe off
into some river. Just then our conduc
tor struck an idea. “Wait till we get up
to Galesburg,’ said he, ‘and then we’ll
fix ’em.’ And we did. At Galesburg
there’s a switch ingine fixed tip with a
pump and hose to throw water, an’we
get hold o’that ingine and turned her
nozzle on them tramps. Never had
such fun iu my life.' It made me think
of the time when we used to drown
woodchucks out o’ their holes when I
was a boy. I wouldn’t have missed that
picnic for a month’s salary.”

A STORY OF STONEWALL JACKSON.
The next evening, Sunday, we wrent
to Frederick for the first time to attend
church, and there being no service in the
Presbyterian church, we went to the
German Reformed. As usual, he fell
asleep, but this time more soundly than
was his wont, His head sank upon his
breast, his cap dropped from his hands
to the floor, the prayers of the congre
gation did not disturb him, and only the
choir and deep toned organ awakened
him. Afterwards I learned that the
minister was credited with much loyalty
and courage because he had prayed for
the President of the United States in the
very presence of Stonew’all Jackson.
Well, the'general didn’t hear the prayer;
if he had, he would doubtless have felt
like replying as Gen. Ewell did, when
asked at Carlisle, Penn., if he would
permit the usual prayer for President
Lincoln: “Certainly; I’m sure he needs
it.”
The troops being on the march, the
general and staff rode rapidly out of town
and took the head of the column. Just a
few words here in regard to “Barbara
Frletchie,” a touching poem which
sprang full-armed from the loyal brain
of Mr. Whittier. An old woman, by that
now immortal name, did live in Freder
ick in those days, but she was eighty
four years old and bedridden ; she never
saw General Jackson and General Jack
son never saw her. I was with him
every minute of the time he was in that
city—he was there only twice—and
nothing like the scene so graphically de
scribed by the poet ever happened. The
story will perhaps live, as Mr. Whittier
has boasted, until it gets beyond the
reach of correction.
On the march that day the captain of
the cavalry advanced, just ahead, had in
structions to let no civilian go to the
front, and we entered each village and
passed before the inhabitants knew of
our coming. In Middletown two very
pretty girls with ribbons of red, white
and blue floating from their hair, and
small Union flags in their hands, rushed
out of their house as we passed, came to
the curbstone, and with much laughter
waved their colors defiantly in the face
of the General. He bowed and raised
his hat, and turning with his quiet smile
to his staff, said : “We evidently have no
friends in this town.” And this is about
the way he would have treated Barbara
Frietchie.— Colonel Douglas, in the Cen
tury.
HOW TO BUILD IT UP CARTERSVILLE.
The following sensible suggestions for
building up our town, we hope, will be
studied and practiced by every one of
her citizens. Its wise suggestions may
be read with profit by those who are not
croakers or missanthropes, but who
really wish to see their town great and
prosperous. The plan for building up a
town and keeping it in a flourishing con
dition, is to have grit, push, snap, vim,
churches, colleges, morality, enterprise,
harmony, advertising, cordiality, cheap
property, healthy location, good country
tributary. Talk about it; speak well of
it; help to improve it. Advertise in and
read the town paper; patronize its mer
chants; have faith in your town exhibi
ted by good works; honest competition
in business. Welcome manufactories;
welcome railroads; welcome macada
mized streets with plenty of shade trees;
make things look bright and attractive,
by liberal use of paint and white wash;
help all public enterprises; elect good
men to office; speak well of its public
spirited, enterprising citizens, and be one
of them yourself. Remember that every
dollar invested in permanent improve
ments is that much in interest. Always
cheer on the men,who go In for improve
ment.
By adhereing strictly to the above, it
is impossible to prevent a town from
growing and prospering.
Demand for Small Money.
Washington Star.]
The Treasury Department will con
tinue to destroy all the one and two dol
lar treasury notes that come in. They
will be redeemed only in notes of larger
denomination or silver dollars until tli'e
low denomination silver certificates are
ready to be issued. The department is
very anxious to get the one and two dol
lar certificates out as soon as possible, as
the demand is very large, and it is ex
pected that thirty or forty millions dol
lars of silver will be put in circulation
through this medium. It is felt that
something is lost by every day’s delay in
getting them out, but it will be impossi
ble to get the engraving and printing
done so as to issue them before next
month. By the policy of withholding
one dollar treasury notes from circulation
an immense number of silver dollars
have been issued, but' the demand for
convenient small notes is so great that it
is expected that there will tea call for
almost as many as they will print.

The Georgia Road in’3o.
Athens Banner.J
“I was in Augusta in 1530,” said an
old citizen yesterday, “when the first en
gine ran over the Georgia railroad.
People came from all over the state to
see the‘wagon that ran without horses,
and pulled such a heavy load.’ The road
bed was covered with people who had
come to see it. This road was the first
built in the state, and few people had
ever seen a train of cars. The first cars
that came over the Athens branch, was
pulled by mules, as engines cot at that
time from $35,000 to $50,000. Before the
Elberton Air-Line was built, there was a
number of old people in Elbert county

ATHENS’ BASKET FACTORY.
Something that Georgia Inventive Genius
and Georgia Enterprise Has Developed.
Athens Banner.]
One of the most unique and ingenious
industries in the state is the Athens’ Bask
et Factory. It has also turned out to be
one of the most promising and profitable.
We have seen nothing like it in the
state. We are told that it is the only
thing of the kind in the world. It is
not only the output of Athens capital,
but the creation of Athens’ genius—for
the patent as well as the product is
Athens’ own, and we may say it is the
only thing of the sort in the world. It
is certainly the most unique factory in
the state. The ingenuity in the idea in
the working of the machinery, which
was devised and partlj r made right here
at home, the completeness and speed
with which the different parts are turned
off, the rare attention to every detail,
from the selection of timber to the prepa
ration of the packages for shipment,
show a marvel of skill and workmanship.
We may say that a plank of white oak
is thurst into one side and a condensed
package of baskets emerges in a twink
ling from the other. In this process,
however, we note that there are em
ployed four skilled workmen, twenty
four hands, of which six are ladies, a
large quantity of lumber which is gotten
up the Northeastern railroad is utilized,
and a pay-roll of over SSOO per month is
made. The plant represents an outlay
of SIO,OOO, with the employment given
to busy bands, the utilization of an
Athens invention and the development
of raw material grown in our section.
RAIN BY CONCUSSION.
Now there comes to the front a genius
who proposes to do away with protracted
drouths by tapping the clouds at will,
and wetting down any section of the
country as desired. The name of this
genius is Woodbridge, and he lives in
New Jersey. His idea, briefly stated,
is to bring rain from the clouds by con
cussion. He claims that if kegs of dyna
mite, nitroglycerine or some other pow
erful explosive, are hoisted up into the
clouds bv aid of balloons, and are fired
by electricity, the explosion will pro
duce rain in proportion to the amount of
the explosive used and the force of the
shock caused thereby. This could be
easily done, the father of the idea points
out, by means of cheap balloons, to
which could be communicated to the
cask through a wire when the dynamite
reached the desired altitude. The explo
sion that would result would burst the
clouds, and lo! the rain would descend.
By this method, its inventor declares,
man could control the heavens almost as
completely as the earth, and, by a gener
al application cf it throughout the coun
try, disastrous drouth might be pre
vented, and each section given just
enough rain and no more. That such an
invention would fill a long felt want is
not to be doubted. Judge Woodbridge,
however, does not appear to have taken
into consideration that rain water is not
at all hours on tap in the upper regions,
and we do not infer that his invention is
designed to briDg forth rain from a
cloudless sky.

ANOTHER COLORED EXODUS.
The Macon Telegraph under the above
heading contains the following para
graph :
The republican party hopes to get up a
negro exodus by 1888, which may trans
fer the negro vote to points where it
will do the most good. It has been a
matter of long-standing complaint with
the republican managers that in parts
of the south there are many republican
negroes whose votes are wasted and that
the race is not making any advancement.
There has been for several years an
organization to look after this matter.
Fred Douglass, of Washington city, is
president of the organization. He has
studied the question carefully and collec
ted many statistics. The republican
committee, which has a large sura of
money at its disposal, purposes to dis
tribute these colored men before the
campaign of 1888 where they will do the
most good. Several agents have been
making observations and reports upon
the state of thiugs. It is intended to
send large colonies to certain parts of
Missouri, where a few more votes are
needed and to southern Indiana, Dakota,
too, has been considered a good place for
a large colony preparatory to its admis
sion into the Union. Milton Turner,
a colored lawyer, of St.’Louis, who had
charge of the ease of the Indian Terri
tory freed men before congress last
winter, is actively engaged in the matter,
and is highly in favor of sending a large
colony t> the proposed terrhory of
Oklahoma.
Mrs. Desmond, a daughter of a wealthy
and widowed mother in New Y"ork
city, was riding in a street car when
her fashionable bustle made of celluloid
accidentally caught fire and she was
burned to death. Celluloid is a white,
light and flexible material that is dange
rous and combustible. A spark from a
match or heat will quickly ignite cellu
loid. So, ladies, beware of celluloid
bustles which add not to your beauty,
hut may endanger your life.

NUMBER 33
CHARLESTON’S FAMOUS CHURCHES.
From a Washington Letter. 1
St. Peter’s church in Charleston is un
known in the North compared with St.
Michael’s. The bells of St. Michael’s
have made it famous. You remember
the chimes originally sent as a gift to the
young colony from England were taken
back to England by the British troops
at the evacuation during the revolution
ary war. John Adams, as Minister to
England, immediately after the treaty of
peace had been signed at the close of the
war, secured the return of the chimes to
Charleston, where they were triumph
antly replaced in the belfry of St. Mich
ael’s by a great assemblage of people.
When the Federal cannons began to play
upon Charleston during the civil war the
steeple of St. Michael’s, on account of its
prominence, was hit again and again.
The chimes was taken down as soon as
possible and removed to Columbia, the
capital of the state, where the bells were
stored in one of the sheds around the un
finished state capitol. There they were
found by Sherman’s soldiers when they
eutered Columbia. Before they left
they broke the bells to pieces. After the
war was over the pieces of the bells,
which had been carefully preserved,
were sent to England to be recast. The
firm which originally cast them still ex
isted, the descendants of the original
members having kept the old firm name.
They had complete descriptions of the
bells in their records and were able to re
cast them as good as new. Once more
they crossed the ocean and once more
were tearfully and enthusiastically re
ceived and replaced.
WHY MONEY IS SCARCE.
Various reasons are assigned for the
scarcity of money. The New York Sun
says, editorially: “The Treasury state
ment yesterday showed a further gain
of more than $1,000,000 in gold and
greenbacks, making the total gain for the
current month over $11,000,000. No
wonder that money is getting scarce, and
the rates of interest higher. The bond
calls thus far made ayail but little in in
creasing the supply of money. The
called bonds are mostly those which have
been pledged by national banks as se
eurit}' for circulating notes 90 per cent,
of their payment consequently releases
only the ten per cent, margin on them.
The bonds not thus pledged belong to
savings banks and other moneyed insti
tutions, which are in no hurry to cash
them, so long as they see the securities
they desire to buy for reinvestment
steady falling in price. What is needed
is a sweeping call of all the three per
cent, outstanding. Such a call would
set free about $40,000,000 of the Treasu
ry hoard and effectually relieve the
money market, besides saving to the tax
payers of the country $3,000,000 a year
in interest. If the Treasury Department
is not the slave of the banks and of the
money lenders, it will make the call
without further delay.”—Ex.
Chattanooga, Tenn., September 7. —
Last Friday a young man named Gaines,
residing on Sand mountain, in Marshall
county, Alabama, while out hunting,
was bitten by his dog. The young man’s
flesh was terrible lacerated in his conflict
with the brute, which w r as finally killed,
but he had no fear of serious results, and
applied to his wounds some simple reme
dies and retired. In a few hours the
poison with which his system had been
inoculated began to do its deadly work,
and the family of the unfortunate msn
at once recognized that his doom was
sealed. His limbs began to swell, and
soon attained twice their natural size,
while froth issued from his mouth and
he began to snarl and bark like a dog.
In his lucid moments he would entreat
his friends to cut his throat and thus end
his terrible suffering. After hours of
the most horrible torture death came to
his relief.
CHILD LIFE IN INDIA.
The Hindu child is said to possess,
even in infancy, in a remarkable degree,
the virtue of patience. All day long the
child of the poor coolie woman will cling
to her hips, often tired, hungry and
sleepy, but not crying or fretting.
“The Hindu baby will lie for hours
on a hard cot in a dingy room, tormen
ted with flies and mosquitoes, supremely
contented apparently in the contempla
tion of its dusky little hands.”
Grown older, the children are timid
and respectful in manner, obedient to
their parents, and w r ell behaved in put lie.
They learn very readily, and are quick
at memorizing. Truthfulness is not im
pressed on them at home, and they early
learn deceit.
It is reported from Milwaukee that a
regular business of putting babies to death
is carried on in that city. Mrs. Pauline
Mittlestadt, proprietress of a lying-in
hospital, has been arrested charged with
murdering a child by thrusting a darning
needle through its heart. She says the
mother of the child paid her S3OO to put
it out of the way.
Georgia has spent about one-third of
the amount proposed to be invested in
the new capitol, and it is presumed that
the building is about one-third completed.
It is gratifying to know' that the poeple
are still determined that the capital shall
not cost more than $1,000,000.
The LTnited States Geological Survey
is to make an exhaustive study of the re
cent earthquake, and to that end will send
out a series of questions to those sections
of the country affected by it, to which re
sponses will be requested.
Our State exchanges are nearly all dis
cussing the late ’quake and the effects of
the shocks in their respective localities.
