insignia of the Republican candidate, and both
emblematic of the presont “war of roses.” The
other brother, Mr. Hunt Taylor, takes no part
politically, but when asked who he is for for
governor of Tennessee, says he is for “Taylor

Governor Foraker, of Ohio, created a sensa
tion at Columbus, 0., a few days ago in a speech
which is said to have been not so much political
as it was an exposure of the brutalities, robber
ies and other outrages alleged at the Ohio peni
tentiary. Intense indignation was created by
the mass of people who heard him when affida
vits were read, reciting the skinning of dead
bodies of convicts for the purpose of merchan
dise. The same thing created a big sensation
some years ago when Butler was governor of
Massachusetts and exposed the Tewksbury asy
lum crimes. Thank Heaven nothing of the
kind has ever happened in the South.

The Wiggins earthquake and storm pfophesy,
the three alleged bloody moons said to have been
seen in the heavens over Atlanta,the old Georgia
negress who awoke from a supposed trance and
predicted the end of the world, have all had
their effect in frightening superstitious and ig
norant people into the belief that the world was
to have been destroyed yesterday. Such things
Will continue to be until the planets meet or the
Bun grows cold, doubtless such ideas have been
prevalent since the world was peopled and will
continue with periodical shifting imagery of be
nighted minds and the vagaries of superstition
are given any credence or attention at all.
SOUND LOGIC.
We noticed in last Sunday’s Constitu
tion, an open letter from Mr. P. H.
Snook, the large furniture dealer in At
lanta whose trade amounts to thousands
of dollars monthly. The spirit of this
letter was excellent and its logic conclu
sive. He appealed to the people of At
lanta and vicinity to buy their furniture
in Atlanta, not necessarily from him,
but, said he, “go to my friend Miller’s
establishment [his competitor in business]
and buy there. You will do more for
the furniture trade of Atlanta in buying
one set of furniture from Miller, or my
self, than if you were to buy 500 sets in
Cincinnati or Louisville.”
We suppose our merchants feel the
same way, not only towards each other
as competitors, but the logic is as con
vincing if they say to the people
of Bartow county that the purchase of
one dollar’s worth of coffee in Carters
ville would do more for our county and
town than if the pmchase of a 100,000
Backs of coffee beyond the borders of our
county, and just as Cartersville is im
proved so will the country around be im
proved—one is dependent upon the oth
er. Let our people, with a common in
terest, a common effort and a common
love for home and home enterprises, help
to build the county and town up.
Delinquent subscribers to the CoURANTwiII
please settle up their indebtedness without do
lay, as the change in the management makes it
absolutely necesscry to close the old books.
BUILD THE COLLEGE.
The Rome Bulletin is advocating
strongly the need of a male high school
in that town. Rome is already favored
with two female colleges, bnt that paper
holds out the emblematic spoon of Oliver
Twist for “nlore.” If Rome needs three
colleges, does not Cartersville need one ?
Every one knows the need, and it only
remains to be seen w hat the town as a
municipality and the citizens individual
ly will do towards building it.
It is true the project has been started,
Rev. Sam. Jones offers to donate a thous
and dollars towards a ten thousand dollar
Duilding, and the enterprising firm of
Baker & Hall promptly adds their offer
to give another thousand towards it.
There should be no delay among the
other public spirited citizens in augment
ing these donations and immediately sub
scribing the necessary amount.
There is no one thing in the power of
a people to do that would be of so much
actual benefit to Bartow county as the
establishment of a well equipped institu
tion of learning of a higher grade with*
in her midst. The benefit of a college in
a town is patent to every one. Its influ
ence for good cannot be overestimated.
Everybody cannot go to college of
course, but everybody will be benefited
more or less directly, and the college can
come to those who cannot go to it, in the
way of furnishing educated and en
lightened men and women in the various
professions and walks of life. There are
hundreds of reasons why Cartersville
should have a college and not a single
plausible reason why she should not
have one.
Charlottesville and Lexington, Vir
ginia, are made thriving towns solely on
account of their collegiate institutions.
It is the history of every town that
builds a college that the real era of its
prosperity dawned when the college was
built. Independent of the increased
trade that a large college would necessa
rily bring to a community not the least
cogent reason in its favor is home educa
tion. The question of morals enters
very largely into the ilea of true educa
tion. With a college right at home the
children of its resident patrons would
have the benefit of parental supervision
and be surrounded by the influences of
home. Why send your children to dis
tant cities and States ? Let them stay at
home and acquire knowledge here.
Build the college, equip it well, call to
its chairs able and competent instructors,
and Cartersville will bound into anew
life, and be imbued with anew and ac
tive spirit of progress.
Canvass the needs of Cartersville for
a college, compare them with the rea
sons, if there be any, why there should
not be one. If you are a man of family
calculate the value of an investment to
your family’s good and then go to work,
put your shoulder to the wheel and push
the matter aloner until the college is an
assured fact.
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.
It is a fact too patent to need the sup
port of argument, that a town advances
and improves oniy in proportion to the
progressive spirit and enterprise mani
fested by its citizens. A people that are
inert, inactive and passive, devoid of ag
gressiveness, without push or energy,
simply content with a negative existence,
complacently awaiting, Micawber like,
for “ something to turn up,” without
using every means at hand to “turn it
up themselves, will, unless they arouse
and shake off their lethargy, fall into a
state of “dry rot,” as bad as ever affected
any inanimate matter. When a man be
comes afflicted with the “dry rot” he is
not only in a bad condition personally,
but he is a decided injury, if not a nui
sance to his community; he not only has
no vim, no ambition, no business pluck
or enterprise himself, but his evil fore
bodings and melancholy croaking about
the “ hard times” and gloomy outlook
are unpleasant to listen to and a decided
injury to a t©wn. Such men are a curse
to any community.
The contingencies dependent upon the
growth and success of Cartersville are
business push, the use of every instru
mentality to broaden and develop every
branch of business, to offer every oppor
tunity for and to facilitate every new en
terprise and venture, and to foster and
encourage home industries.
It is nobody’s business but his own if a
man chooses to set down and wait for
business to come to him without making
any special effort to get it, but it eyiden
ces a woful lack of business enterprise
and tact. Large experience by the
wealthiest and most successful business
men in the United States has proven that
the only safe and legitimate means to in
crease business is by a system of news
paper advertising, right at home where
the business is conducted. People are
attracted by fresh advertisements calling
attention to special wares and special
prices, whether the business be large ©r
small, its proportionate increase is meas
ured by the publicity given it. It is a
great fallacy to suppose that advertising
is not as beneficial in a small town as it
is In a metropolitan city, because people
in the town know of a business and its
location is no reason that they will con
stantly recollect it and always go to it,
and especially where competition is rife,
as it is here, it behooves the merchant
and business men generally to advertise.
The Courant has the largest bona fide
circulation in the county, and it urges
the business men of Cartersville to test
the value of advertising in its columns
under the new management.
HOPE FOB THE PUBLIC.
At last the long suffering and patiently
fleeced public may hope. The sleeping
car porters have arisen in the majesty of
their might, and have organized for mu
tual aid and protection. A mass meet
ing of some five or six hundred porters
assembled in St. Louis on the 22nd inst.
and drew up a petition demanding better
pay from their employers. Speeches
were made and the unfair treatment they
received denounced in bitter terms, Ten
and fifteen dollars a mouth they claim
will not support them and their families.
They are firmly banded together and say
they will make a determined fight for
their rights. The public has been paying
the salaries of these men for years, by
a custom that has at last almost amount
ed to a law, to fee the porter a “tip,” and
don’t object to it, so far as the men
are concerned, but they do object to pay
ing the salaries of the servants of the
most gigantic monopolies in existence.
The porters and the public have the sym
pathies of The Courant.
THE WAGES OF SIN.
Sam Jones Preaches to the Colored People
and Gives them Sound, Practical Ad
vice-Splendid Congregational Sing
ing.
Rev. Sam Jones preached to a large
crowd of colored people at St. Luke’s A.
M. E. Church here last Friday night
in response to an invitation from them.
There were only five or 6ix white per
sons present, but every seat in the church
was occupied by colored people. Mr.
Jones took charge of the service, with
him on the pulpit platform were Presiding
Elder Brad well, and the pastor of the
church, Rev. Jackson.
The whole congregation sang an open
ing hymn and after an earnest prayer by
Mr. Jones, he lined out a hymn which
the entire crowd sang with splendid ef
fect. There were superb voices in that
throng, untrained and untrammeied by
rule or note as they were, and once in
awhile some magnificent barytone voice
would burst out and develop the native
splendor of some hidden musician, so it
was with one or two sweet tenor voices
in the crowd, ringing out clear and per
fect notes of sweetest melody. At times
the tremendous lung power of the singers
created such an agitation of wave sound
that a tingling sensation not unlike a
slight electric shock was felt. No one
could have listened to the singing with
out being effected. It was quaint, it was
weird, it was spiritual and impressive.
Mr. Jones preached an eminently
practical sermon and was listened to with
rapt attention by his hearers, and such
frequent interjections as “You’re preach
ing now.” “Yes, yes, that’s the truth.”
“Yes, Lord,” and other ejaculations of
favor and approval were uttered by his
earnest listeners.
Mr. Jones told them that he had but
one object in being there and preaching
to them, and that was to do good to them
and to glorify God. He enjoined upon
his hearers not to go to sleep while he
was preaching, and told them if they got
so sleepy that they couldn’t hold their
eyes open they had better get up and go
home. lie said that he proposed to feed
them on the bread of life, but he didn’t
propose to lodge them too.
The text discussed was “The Wages of
Sin is Death.” He showed the hard
service the devil putsa man to and the
wages received was poverty, degradation,
misery, despair and damnation, while the
service of God was enjoyable, it was
plenty on this earth, and a glorious re
ward in the world to come. Mr. Jones
interspersed his remarks with many tel
ling and practical illustrations aptly ap
plied and appreciated by his audience.
He told them that sin not only made a
man a rascal but it made him a fool as
well.
Mr. Jones paid a beautiful tribute to
good old Aunt Anne, now dead, and said
“I believe if evqr there was a pure, true
member of the church it was old Aunt
Anne, and when she got so enfeebled
that she could no longer toil up and
down this hill, the Lord made us carry
bread and meat to her. I believe old
Aunt Anne is shining around the glorious
throne of God to-night.”
He said he did not need the bible to
tell him that sin was ruinous, it was vis
ible to the eye wherever he went, every
poor staggering drunkard, every poor
wretch in jail, or in the chain-gang,
miserable, wretched, degraded, showed
there was enough in this world to al
most make them believe that hell was
down here.
In referring to the absurd belief in the
minds of many of them that the world
would come to an end on the 29th, he
told them that if they were right with
God and the world did come to an end on
the 29th they would be in heaven by the
30th. He did not see the use of kicking
up a row because they got to heaven a
little ahead of time. “This world,” said
he, “may stand a hundred thousand
years for that matter, but when we die
the world has come to an end with us—
hasn’t it? What’s the use of our kicking
up this hurrah about the end of the
world? Let’s you and I get ready to die,
that’s it.”
“I wish an earthquake or something
else would shake us up until God shook
all the meaness out of us. Shake a man
up so he will never sin any more, shake
him up so he will be an honest, a truth
ful and a pure man. We want an earth
quake that will make a fellow treat his
wife right, and his children right, his
neighbor right and make him an indus
trious and honest man, that’s the sort of
an earthquake we want.”
“Heaven is away over the other side
of shouting. I’ve got no better sense
than to shout sometimes myself, but I’ll
tell you it ain’t how you feel, but how
you live. It ain’t whether you are happy,
but its whether you are honest.”
“When God says a thing is so, you’ll
find that it is so. You may beg leave to
differ with the lord, and say ‘I dont
believe the bible and all that,’ but the
time will come when God will make
every man confess His name and word.”
Mr. Jones drew a terrific picture of
the unending, eternal death, and his
hearers hung on his words with bated
breath. Reversing it, he showed the
gift of God to be eternal life to the con
scientious Christian.
Mr. Jones spoke for some time; his
sermon was replete with sound, practical
advice; towards the close of his sermon
he again touched on the absurdity of
their paying any attention to the super
stitious forebodings about the end of the
world, and asked his hearers if they sup
posed God came down and told any man
that the world was coming to an end at
any special time. He told them to quit
that foolishness and strive to get to
heaven, and said that if any of them
were foolish enough to believe such re
ports he thought they might get into
heaven without any religion. About
twenty-five penitents came to the altar
at the close of the sermon.
Editors Courant:— -In the call for
the friends of prohibition to meet at the
court house next Saturday, published in
the American of yesterday, and which
will probably be published in your paper
today, it was “t-’ted inadvertedly, no
doubt that ah the candidates favored pro
hibition.
But such is not the case, and the friends
of prohibition should look to the plat
forms of the various candidates and de
cide for themselves who are the true
friends of prohibition and cast their votes
accordingly. Bartow.

The Present Campaign.
Near Kingston, Ga., September 26th, 1886.
Editors Courant We arc having a remark
able performance in our connty. Something so
unusual that it particularly*<mnount9 to a first
class show. Candidates for the Legislature in
Bartow county are actually traveling together—
riding m the same buggy—and in a pleasant and
most entertaining way all delivering addresses
that would do credit to any Congressman. Its
simply a wonder. What’s the matter? There
must be some good genius influencing this legis
lative campaign. We heard of this and went up
to Adairsvilie to see the show. We heard Colo
nel Capers deliver an address in the depot which
for power, logic and eloquence was the best pub
lic speach listened to for years, and not a single
hard word, not a reflection or an unkind expres
sion about a candidate. He was followed bv
Mr. Warren Akin and Mr. Conyers at night, and
with the exception of some flings between Con
yers and Akin not a word was said to disturb
the pleasantest relations between gentlemen.
They do say that everytime Colonel Capers finds
Akin and Conyers about to get mad he just
Sails out a jew’s harp and plays “Keep in the
fiddle of the Road” and they simmer right down
and all is serene. Well, I like that sort of Ca
pers. They are calling the colonel “Happy
Hal,” and my Liza says he i9 the outlaughinest
man and nicest sort of a fellow. Well, I don’t
know what we are going to do about this legisla
ture business no how. These are mighty clever
fellows. Strong, able men and I just wish we
could elect them all, but we can’t. Now, Mr.
Editor, we in the north end of the connty think
we should have a representative from among us
In the Legislature, and I wish you would print
this in great big letters for we tnink it powerful
strong. We have put one of our number In the
field, a men that is recognized all over Georgia
as having superior ability, and as the Marietta
Journal says, is among the best educated men in
the state. He served us as a brave and gallant
soldier, as a true and tried patriot, a fearless and
devoted son of our grand old state. Cartersville
has reason to be proud of her citizens, but Car
tersville has not got all of the manhood, the
brains or the statesmanship of the county
by a jugful. We think we ought
to have a chance now. If we
divide up our votes for mere favoritism we wi ll
maybe get some one to represent us we don t
want. We ask, therefore, our friends in Carters
ville to give us a chance now. Unite with the
lower end of the countv on one of your good
men and take our “Happy Hal,” our gallant
colonel, our Christian neighbor and accomplish
ed fellow citizen for the other one. We are
going to vote for the colonel because we love
him and have been readiug him like an open
book; now, you get some other man as good as
he is and we will vote for him. Then next time
let some other good man from the lower part of
the county join your good Cartersville man and
we will vote for him. Let our people decide
this matter without having to he ding donged by
a host of fellows running all around and telling
all sorts of fool tales. I am for the candidate
who behaves the best and acts most like a gentle
man, because I want a gentleman to represent
me. B. D. R.

Curry’s
Liver
Compound
On A Boom
REV. SAM JONES
Continues in the Lord’s Work and
Heartily Recommends C. L. C.
Rev. Sam. P. Jones, the distinguished minister
and agent of the Orphans’ Home, says:
“I conscientiously commend Curry’s Liver
Compound of Southern roots and herbs to all
persons suffeiing from Indigestion or any form
of Dyspepsia. I know it is the best medicine we
have ever used in our home.”
A CURED SON and a GRATE
FUL, FATHER.
D. W. Curry, Cartersville—Dear Sir: It gives
me great pleasure to testify to the good results of
the use of your Liver Compound. My son, age
22 years, was a great sufferer with misery in his
head—he was nearly blind. All the doctors had
failed to cure him. I tried a bottle of your Liver
Compound. It cured him perfectly, and now I
publish to the world this great remedy, the best
medicine before the publie. All it wants is a
trial, W. T. INLOW.
A GRATEFUL AND POSITIVE
BENEFICIARY.
Mr. David W. Curry, Cartersville, Ga.: Dear
Sir—l am happy to say that your medicine, Cur
ry’s Liver Compound, has proven itself to he of
inestimable value to my family. Its power to
eradicate Malarial Poisoning is something won
derful; and as a remedy to relieve the excessive
biliousness following what the doctors call Ty
pho-Malarial Fever it stands, in my opinion,
(based on a thorough test,) without a rival. Ac
cept my hearty wishes for your success. 1
trust every family shelf will find a place for C.
L. C.
Most truly yours, T. H;. WILLIAMS.
Fish, Georgia.
“ WONDERFUL to RELATE.”
"Am in Good Health, Digestion
Good, Bowels Healed, and
Continue to Crow in Flesh
and Strength.”
D. W. Curry: Dear Sir—Sometime ago I was
suffering with an incontrollable affection of the
bowels—could get relief from no manner of
treatment; my appetite became poor, nervous
system run down, indigestion seized upon me;
my flesh forsook me—l became the very ghost of
my former self. At last I procured and began
to take Curry’s Liver Compound, and, wonderful
to relate, am in good health, digestion good,
bowels healed and have continued to increase in
flesh and strength—all owing to the use of Cur
ry’s Liver Compound.
I am very truly yours,
J. C. TRACY.
Mississippi Chills Routed.
Cartersville, Georgia, D. W. Curry—
Dear Sir: I went to Mississippi in 1880, and left
in 1882. During those two years, in the low
lands on the river, I suffered with Malarial Fe
ve? and Chills. My whole system became sur
charged with the terrible poison, and for twenty
months I was not a day free from fever. In vain
I tried the various remedies, and my doctors’
bill amounted to a good salary. I returned to
Georgia, but for eighteen months still continued
to have chills and fever. I had taken Quinine
till I was nearly deaf—my nervous system was
shattered—l wa6 despondent enough to die. My
skin was yellow as Saffron and I was bloated
terribly. 1 was recommended to try CURRY’S
LIVER COMPOUND, the great Southern reme
dy. I tried it simply as an experiment, but I
soon realized that it was indeed the magic rem
edy. In four weeks I was well-rid of malaria,
complexion restored, nervous system toned np.
I was a restored, a happy man. Yes, I can
recommend it to all similar sufferers. It is the
medicine for all Liver and Kidney troubles. I
xnow whereof I speak. D. A. ATUAWAY,
A GRATEFUL LADY
Commends It to all Suffering Hu
manity.
Fish, Polk Cos.,
D. W. Curry, Cartersville, Ga.—Dear Sir:
Commend, in my name, Curry’s Liver Compound
to all humanity—all of those who suffer with
torpor of the liver, sick headache, and indeed all
those miserable symptoms which accompany the
bilious state. Yours truly, etc.,
MRS. CANTRELL.
UNDER the CARE of PHYSI
CIANS 20 YEARS,
Uses Patent Medicines IO Years,
and at Last Finds Health and
Happiness in C. L. C.
Roxana, Ga.
To all suffering humanity I cheerfully recom
mend Curry’s Liver Compound. My wife has
been afflicted with a hacking cough, with Dys
pepsia and Liver Complaint for the last thirty
years. She was under the constant care of good
physicians for twenty years, then trying patent
medicines of various kinds for 10 years and re
ceiving no permanent relief until she began the
use of C. L. C. Since my wife took the first bot
tle she has been able to attend to her household
affairs and is in better health than she has been
iu many years. Very respectfully,
JOHN TIDWELL
