to it an extended and varied experience

as I can, 1 shall bend every effort and
energy to the upbuilding and advance

that the term means, reflecting the latest
foreign and domestic affairs, breezy and

Cartkrsville, Ga., Sep. 23, 1886.
To the people of Carteraville and the public gen
erally:
It gives me great pleasure to [commend
to you Mr. Fratik J. Taylor, who, to
gether with Mr. Alex. M. Willingham,
has purchased The Courant, he will
therefore become a citizen of Cartersville,
identified with all her interests and in
terested in her prosperity.
My personal acquaintance and knowl
edge of Mr. Taylor, has given me the
privilege of saying to the good people of
Bartow county that ho is in every way
worthy of their confidence and esteem.
He is conversant with the newspaper
business, having been for some years
connected with several of the largest and
leading daily newspapers in the United
States. I am satisfied that he and his
partner, Mr. Willingham, will make for
us oue of the best papers in the State of
Georgia. Mr. Willingham, as many if
not all of you know, has been connected
with The Courant since its birth, and is
an honest, industrous, and capable gen
tleman,
Let the people of Bartow county rally
to their support, and they will make you
a paper that you will gladly welcome as
a weekly visitor to your homes.
Very Truly,
Sam. P. Jones.

In the connection of Mr. Taylor with
The Coubant the paper has an able
champion, while Cartersville has been
exceedingly lucky In capturiug him as a
permanent citizen. We respectfully ask
the people of this section to give us the
support we may justly merit.
Respectfully,
Alex. M. Wil^j^gham.
A Terrible Prediction. £
Can’t somebody suppress Professor E.
Stone Wiggins, of the Canadian Metero
logical Bureau? Here he is again predict
ing another earthquake. The New York
Herald of yesterday printed his predic
tion in full, and everybody is talking
about it, and a good many are getting
badly frightened in advance. Learned
scientist, however, assert that Wiggins
don’t know anything about the coming
of an earthquake any more than anybody
else.
Prophet Wiggins says that the most
terrific subterranean upheavels ever ex
perienced on this continent will take
place on the 29th of this months—that
will be next Wednesday. It is said that
Wiggins predicted the late earthquakes
in Charleston and vicinity, and as a con
sequence, some people place a good deal
of confidence on what he says now.
Wiggins says that the shocks of earth
quakes will be felt even on the Pacific
Slope. That this wonderful activity will
extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
North of the latitude where the earth
quake will be felt, Wiggins says the dis
turbance will be of a meterological char
acter and consist of a terrific storm, or a
vast and unparalleled hurricane. He
predicts wide-spread devastation, and
claims that the force will be greater than
that recently felt in Charleston. In the
sweep of his earthquake, he says, Jack
sonville, Fla., Macon, Atlanta, Mobile,
New Orleans, Baton Rouge, La., Hous
ton, Galveston and San Antonio, Texas,
will suffer more of less damage. He has
the hardihood to predict the direst catas
trophy to some cities and says that Ma
con, Ga., New Orleans and Mobile will
he ruined, as these cities are right in the
subterranean and meterologieal path of
the phenomena.
Prof. Wiggins claims the cause of his
anticipated terrible activity of the earth
is due to the shifting of the earth’s centre
of gravity, and that this displacement
would ensue by the conjunction of
Jupiter, Saturn and Mars and our own
two satelites which occurs on the 29th.
He does not look tor the disturbance to
begin until about two o’clock in the
afternoon.
The Atlanta Constitution has a practi
cal and sensible editorial on the subject,
and very rightly says that “a moment’s
reflection will convince anyone that an
earthquake is the one thing in this world
that cannot be predicted with any de
gree of certainty, in the nature of things
such foreknowledge is impossible, and
Wiggins is not supernaturally gifted.”
There is nothing to be feared. Prof.
Wiggins is as much in the dark about
the coming and going of earthquakes as
an infant in arms, and it is all guess
works. He has made some good guesses
about the weather in the past, but has
made far more blunders. However, if
the delinquent subscribers to The Cou
rant feel any trepidation and agree with
us in thinking that a liquidation of their
indebtedness to us, would relieve their
conscience and enable them to face an
emergency of that character better the
new management of this paper will be
pleased to hear from them and receive
the amounts due it.
Brightening Prospects.
Cartersville has not had for years
such a bright outlook for a lively fall
trade and a steady and permanent in
crease of business as now presents it
self. There is a congratulatory feeling
experienced by almost every one in the
community, that the prospects and out
look for the town were never fairer.
And why should the outlook not be
bright and inviting, there are numerous
reasons why Cartersville should “boom,”
but none at all why it should be dull and
unprogressive. There are stirring,
pushing and energetic business men
here, with capital and pluck to back
them. We have a climate unsurpassed,
we have a moral, sober, God loving,
fair dealing community of people, we
have excellent railroad facilities, the
country surrounding us is a productive
one, we have a wealth of minerals right
at our doors. We have brain and
brawn, we are a people with the preemi
nent desire in our hearts for unity, har
mony, peace, and goodwill, we are the
best advertised town in the country.
What more is needed ? Nothing—Car
tersville is turning the grade—has turn
ed the grade and is now moving for
ward with determined and positive
strides, nothing will impede this, inevi
table march of progress and improve
ment, not even the croakers, if there be
any of that geuus home in our midst.
Push it along, keep it moving, Carters
ville is bound to boom. Every one
should do his best, and every one suc
ceeds who does the best he can. Ener
getic work in all branches of business
is a prerequisite for success for individ
uals as will as for municipalities.
“There is no secret of success but
work,” and with Carlyle we say “labor
rids us of three evils, tediousness, vice
and poverty.”
We are not bedazzled bj 7 the bright
side of the picture alone, we have can
vassed both sides and the result of a
steady, earnest contemplation of the
Outlook is that Cartersville is on the
crest of the swell now and is bound to
move olLto prosperity and good times
unequaled in the past.
Our College.
The movement for the erection of a
large college building in Cartersville, is
assuming tangible proportions. At the
close of a service held at the Methodist
church recently, Rev. Sam Jones said
that Cartersville must have a college,
and that in conversation with a gentle
men of this town that day, lie said he
would give one thousand dollars towards
the construction of a ten thousand dollar
building, to which proposition the gen
tleman said “I will give another thou
sand dollars towards it.” Mr. Jones
spoke at some length advocating the
erection of a college here, and outlined
the help it would be to Cartersville and
vicinity.
Let our people keep this enterprise
moving, Cartersville must have a col
lege. We voice the sentiment of the
community in saying this. “Grit, grace
and greenbacks will do everything. Let
tlife*lint&fprising people of Cartersville
get together, call a public meeting, sub
scribe the amount necessary and build
the college without delay. It can be
done, why not now?
Thk Courant will print brief views
of the project. >ttiat do you say ?
Cartkrsvillk, September 2*2, ’B6.
To The Courant :
In reply to the letter of Maj. A. F.
Woolley in to-day’s American,permit the
use of your columns only to say that
Major Woolley did come into my office
several days alter I had written my letter
of the 30th of July to him, published in
your paper of week before last, and said
to me that “he would accept my proposi
tion ; would write out his call that night
“and baud to me next day for joint pub
lication, which he never did, and I
“heard no more from him.” I leave the
public to say whether my statement is
true that I have had no answer to my let
ter of the 30th of July.
When Major Woolley came into my
office on August 18th he presented a pa
per which he said he wished me to en
dorse. It was a call by his committee
for a mass meeting which he had pub
lished in both papers afterwards. I de
clined to do so, saying I had no authority
to do it. This paper was not in answer
to my communication, either in letter or
spirit.
As to his uncharitable and vituperative
attack upon me personally and my relig
ious “professions,” and my purpose to
•‘deceive” and “conceal the whole
truth,” I care nothing for, attributing
them rather to passion and indiscretion
than to his better judgment. The people
with whom I have lived for 33 years
know me, and I submit the whole ques
tion to them as to who is in the wrong.
Respectfully, R. 11. Jones.
All our clocks and watches are care
fully inspected and well regulated before
they are allowed to leave our house.

Most' Seheuer’s lieturu From a Delightful
Trip Abroad.
Mr. Mose Scheuer, who left Carters
ville on July Ist, for a visit to his Fader
land and other portions of Europe, re
turned home Saturday night last. The
trip has evidently been a beneficial one
to Mr. Scheuer, healthfully considered at
least, as his looks attest and his friends
all affirm that he never looked better.
A Courant reporter “cornered” Mr.
Scheuer in the St. James hotel yesterday
and had a pleasant chat with him regard
ing his trip. He said he left New York
on the North German Lloyd’s new
steamer “Aller” for Bremen. This is
one of the finest ocean steamers that
ploughs the Atlantic. She has a capaci
ty of eight thousand horse-power, while
ordinarily steamers crossing the ocean
are only of about five thousand horge
power. The trip over Mr. Scheuer de
scribes as being very delightful. There
were many congenial and pleasant asso
ciates on board, and besides, this was
his first trip to his native home in twelve
years, and naturally his mind was filled
with expectations and anticipations of
what the shifting scenes of time would
disclose to him at his boyhood’s home.
As he had gotten somewhat rusty in the
use of idioms in the German language,
he had ample time to unhinge his tongue
on shipboard.
From Bremen Mr. Scheuer went to
F'rankfort, thence direct to his old home,
which in English means Black Forest.
This he said was a town of about four or
five thousand people, in the Grand Duchy
of Baden.
“Find many changes at home?”
“Yes, found a good many changes;
many of my schoolmates, who had re
mained at home were married and had
interesting and growing families—this
made me feel a little badly you know.
Then the habits and customs are so dif
ferent over there, I could scarcely accus
tom myself to them any more.”
“Good deal ot wine and beer drank
over there ?”
“Yes, that’s a wine-growing country;
they raise grapes and manufacture wine
over there just like we raise Irish pota
toes over here. But I became disgusted
at seeing the extent to which tbey drank,
beer especially; they have what they
call beer kneipes over there —where beer
is sold. Every customer has his own
mug, like barber’s customers have shav
ing mugs, and they sit for hours in groups
at rabies, soaking themselves in beer and
recounting stories and anecdotes. The
bloated appearance of these habitues
made a very harsh impression upon me.”
“ What’s the nature of trade over
there?”
“In smaller towns trade is by no means
to be compared with ours. In the large
cities in the retail stores, ladies are al
most exclusively employed as clerks;
thep make good clerks and are much
liked.”
“ You went on the river Rhine, of
course?”
“Oh yes, and the scenery on that clas
sic stream you know is almost unsur
passed anywhere. The ruins of Warte
burg castle, near the Rhine, was a grand
sight. It was to this ancient castle that
the friends of the great reformer, Mar
tin Luther, took him from Eisleben in
Turingen, to protect him from the antic
ipated treachery of Charles V. It was
at this castle, so ’tis said, that Luther
translated the Bible, and prepared much
of the work that wrought such a revolu
tion in the religion of the world. I went
to Cologne and Koblentz. I met a good
many Americans at these latter places.”
“You went to Switzerland ? ”
“Yes, to the northern part, and saw
the wonderful waterfall of Schaffhausen.
The roar of the battle between the water
and the rocks can be heard a distance of
two miles and over.”
“What about the girls over there?”
“They are fine looking, ruddy, solid
girls over there. But generally they
don’t put on much style in dress. The
ladies in this country stand on a much
higher footing than there, especially in
the South, the women in the old country,
except of the very highest class, all
work. The girls there are very innocent
and unsuspecting. Their dress is pic
turesque and beautiful in the extreme,
both in design and color, this is especially
so with the Swiss.”
“What incident in your visit do you
remember as being specially attractive?”
“Well, aside from pleasant and happy
incidents at my old home among relatives,
the most enjoyable experience I had was
witnessing the great jubilee celebration
of five hundred years since the founding
of Heidelberg University. The sight was
one never to be forgotten. Thousands
of persons took part in the celebration,
representatives of five centuries’ of stu
dents at that world-famed college. Each
era and generation was distinguished by
the costumes then in vogue. The college
was founded in 1836, away back in the
medieval days, many very old men who
had been students there were in the pro
cession, and men and horses in iron
armor and all manner and styles of dress
running back five hundred years. It
was a grand and wonderful sight.”
Mr. Scheuer said that the “sorryist”
newspapers he had ever seen were pub
lished in Germany, the idea of the “free
dom of the press” was a myth, every
paper was compelled to submit a proof
sheet of what it was going to print to a
government official before it was permit
ted to go to press. In Berlin and other
large cities the newspapers were some
what better than in smaller towns, but
all subservient to the government. Bis
marck, he said, has a newspaper organ
of his own.
The custom of treating one another to
drinks, so prevalent in this country, does
not obtain in Germany; every man, how
ever numerous the party may be with
him, pays for his own drinks. The in
ducements for young men to drink there,
said Mr. Scheuer, is not so great.
Mr. Scheuer said he saw the great and
far-famed concert hall of the wonderful
composer Wagner, at Beuyreuth. This
great composer was a favorite of the ec
centric Ludwig the Second, King of
Bayaria, whose strange life and sudden
and shocking death are familiar to al
most every one.
The farms in Germany, Mr. Scheuer
said, were like model gardens, all laid off
in geometrical precission, and beautiful
to behold and very productive—every
foot of ground being utilized. He said
that in towns of about 5,000 inhabitants
in Germany there were no lawyers or
doctors, when either of this class was
needed they came from larger cities.
There were no mules to be seen over
there and horses were scarce. It was a
common sight, he said, to see a woman
hitched up alongside of a large dog draw
ing small carts. Mr. Scheuer is an earn
est advocate for the advancement of the
condition of women in Germany. He
does not consider that civilization will
have completely permeated that empire
until the lower class of women has at
tained a more elevated tone and position.
Women, said he, work like men over
there—carry bricks and mortar and do
all kinds of manual labor.
The people, he said, complain of over
taxation, and as a consequence plot among
themselves against the present mode of
government. He thinks that at the
death of Emperor William a crisis of
great moment will be created throughout
the German empire.
As to the price of goods in the Old
World, he said, cotton goods were higher
while woolen goods were cheaper than
here.
Mr. Scheuer expresses himself delight
ed with his trip but charmed to be back
home again with the friends of his choice.
All of whom gladly welcome him home
again.
Three very distinct earthquake tremors
were felt in Charleston and along other
portions of the path of the late phenom
ena Monday night, sufficient to create
some excitement and fear. Houses
swayed and rocked and plastering fell.
The medical college in Charleston, al
ready much weakened, was so badly
effected that it will have to be torn down.
The vibrations were felt in Summer
ville and other portions of South Caro
lina, and in Augusta, Savannah, Darien
and Macon. We were fortunately ex
empt from the sensation here.

Bartow County Politics.
The candidacy of Col. Capers seems to
have brought out very favorable notices
from the press of the state in several lo
calities. The following extract from
the Savannah Morning Mews, and Mari
etta Journal is a fair sample.
Col. Henry D. Capers, who lived in
Savannah some fifteen years ago, is a
candidate for the Legislature from Bar
tow county. There are no primaries or
nominations in that county, and every
candidate runs on his own metal. Col.
Capers is a gentleman of energy and
talent, and, if elected, will make a very
valuable legislator. He is out in an ad
dress to the voters of Bartow, in which
he, in his usual manly way, states his
Dosition on all the leading questions of
State policy now 7 attracting the attention
of the people, in which he favors the
leasing of the State road, opposes the
opening of the bogus bond issues, calls
the convict lease system a relic of bar
barism, and favors the Railroad Com
mission and prohibition. The Morning
Neics is too far aw’ay from Bartow 7 coun
ty to advise its people about their candi
dates, and while it doesn’t agree with
him entirely in his platform, knowing
Col. Capers as it does, it cannot but wi>h
him success in his canvass.— S.tvannah
Neivs.
Col. Henry D. Caper3 is a candidate
for the Legislature in Bartow 7 county.
He is one of the best educated men in
the State, a fine speaker and a clever
gentleman. With such a man as Capers
in the Legislature, Bartow would have
a strong, influential member. His many
friends in Marietta hope he w ill be suc
cessful. —Marietta Journal.
