The prohibitionists in St. Louis,
met on the Ist inst., and nominated a
full city and legislative ticket.
Thk Sam. Jones Female College will
be built in such manner as to admit of
additions and enlargement, without
destroying its symmetry or architectural
finish. _
The tunnel under Missionary Ridge,
on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad, which caved in last
winter has been rebuilt completely and
trains are regularly running through it
now.
Wk commend the judgment and good
taste that prompted the editor of the
Rome Courier , to print in his paper of
the 2nd inst., as an original local with
out credit, our editorial under the cap
tion of “Sound Logic,” which appeared
in the last issue of the Courant.
A Bicycle Club, of Bloomington, 111.,
contemplates takiog a trip on their
wheels from that place through the
states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia
and Florida. Inquiries have already been
sent out by the club, as to the roads
which they would probably traverse.
Untiring efforts are being made to
save the necks of the condemned Chicago
anarchists. Socialists are laboring hard
in their behalf. The men are looked up
on by the laboring party more in tbe
light of a pack of arrant blatherskites
and monomaniacs, without education or
special training, than anything else. It
is possible that the supreme court may
reverse the verdict.
THE ETOWAH PROPERTY.
Many of our readers are familiar with
this well-known property. It has been
earnestly hoped that it would be purch
ased and developed. Negotiations have,
we learn, been on foot to this end, but
the prospects are not very bright for this
sale and development; we regret this,
and hope at some future time other par
ties may be found who will buy and de
velope it.
The Popular Science Review has an
article from the pen of Prof. Eaton, in
which he agrees with Dr. Hammond in
his belief that the coming man will be
bald-headed. That such eminent scien
tists as Prof. Eaton and Dr. Hammond
should publicly announce this idea,
based as it is upon scientific investiga
tion, is a source of intense relief and
gratification to certain young men, who
are already deprived of the usual capil
lary appendage.
Cedartown is moving up. The peo
ple there have about raised the requisite
two thousand dollars for erecting anew
school building, besides the enterprising
merchants there haye arranged for re
ceiving and posting daily cotton quota
tions, and a committee of citizens has
been appointed to boom the town, by
advertising it in pamphlets, circulars, etc.
There is good sense and sound judg
ment in that, worthy to be emulated by
other towns.
The Northwest during the past four
or five days, has experienced severe
storms. On Lake Huron a fierce north
wester was reported on the Ist inst., and
a cold wave overspread Minnesota, East
Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and other
western states. In Marguette, Mich.,
telegrams say a heavy snow storm pre
vailed and the sea ran high on Lake
Superior. In Lake Michigan, several
disasters to sailing vessels is reported.
Here it has been pleasant and bright.
The Knights of Labor are holding
an immense national convention in Rich
mond, Virginia. Grand Master Work
man T. V. Powderly presides, and
Frederick W. Turner, general secretary
of the K. of L. is also present, with many
other prominent and well known men.
Governor Lee niade the welcoming
speech. The session is being held in
Armory Hall, and about 1,600 delegates
are in attendance. It is the intention of
the executive committee, subject to the
approval of the assembly, to erect in the
city to be chosen, a building with offices,
assembly rooms and other accommoda
tions for the use of the order. The
building will cost two hundred thousand
dollars, more than half of which is al
ready made up.
The color question assumed some im
portance at the beginning of the session.
The hotels refused to entertain colored
members, and district No. 49 of New
York, which has negro members, insist
that the latter shall lodge where they

The Supreme Court of appeals of
Virginia have crushed the hopes of Clu
verius for anew hearing, that tribunal of
last resort having refused to permit a re
opening of the case. Cluverius is charged
with having killed his cousin on the
night of March 13th, 1885, the scene of
the tragedy being what is known as the
Marshall reservoir, in the western limits
of the city of Richmond. The young
woman murdered was named Fannie
LilianJMadlson.and was a lienial descend
ant of President Madison. The evidence
against Cluverius is principally circum
stantial, but very damaging. He has
maintained an easy, even demeanor, and
has never lost his courage. He main
tains his innocence. The prisoner is
quite young, and is a great student, and
reads a great deal. He is a young law
yer, and devotes much of his time in
priwn in perusing his law books. He is
constantly visited by his aunt, Mrs.,
Tunstall. Unless the governor exer
cises his prerogative of clemency, which
he will hardly do, Cluverius will hang.

SAM. JO ME 8 FEMALE COLLEGE.]
The task of raising SIO,OOO on Sunday
afternoon in the Methodist church foi
the purpose of erecting a female college
here, imposed upon himself by Rev. Bam.
Jones, was a herculean eflort, but Lis is
an indomitable will, and his efforts were
ably seconded by many of his respon
sive fel'ow-citizens, so that within an
hour’s time amounts aggregating SB,OOO
were subscribed, in shares of SSO each.
That task was a great one indeed, but
the promptness and decisiveness of the
action that supplemented it on Monday
morning, at the meeting of citizens in the
tow'n ball, was remarkable. The sub
scribers met there and attached their sig
natures to the subscription paper for
stock, and took other immediate steps to
enter upon the vigorous prosecution of
the work. There was a determination
and earnestness about these meetings
that declared the energy and “go-abead
edness” of our people. The whole thing
was arranged, money subscribed, board
of directors and building committee
formed, and correspondence opened with
architects, inside of twenty-four hours.
This is perhaps the swiftest time made
on record for any similar enterprise any
where, but the men who bad the work
in hand are live, energetic business men,
and the result could not, in tbe nature
of things, have been other than eflective
and executed with dispatch and alacrity.
The compliment of naming the college
in honor of Rev. Sam. P. Jones has been
most properly termed monumental, in
its greatness. It is fittingly named, for
it was through his instrumentality and
his own generosity and the result of his
own devising that the college will be
built.
Carter3ville honors herself in honoring
Sam. Jones; he is a son worthy to be
honored by such a noble-hearted, liberal
people. Loved and cherished here now
for his manhood, his great big heart, his
charity and comprehensive liberality and
pure Christian character, he will leave
behind him good deeds and living monu
ments that will make his memory immor
tal, and in after years to seek his monu
ment will be but to look around you.
And now the college is not looked for
ward to with any uncertainty whatever,
as a thing possible only, but it is an as
sured fact, a fact that must cause our
whole community to indulge in the
greatest self gratulation that it has had
the pluck and vim to provide for and au
thorize the building of a ten thousand
dollar structure, all within twenty-four
hours.
DON'T HINDER IMPROVEMENTS
The wealth of our minerals in the cor
don of hills environing us, especially the
Bessemer steel ores, will surely at some
time attract capital and works to our
community. Some people perhaps are
interested in them now, but nothing
need be expected to be done unless land
owners and others grant some conces
-ions. A truly good citizen with an hon
est desire to subserve the general inter
ests of the town and count}' will not hold
property, that is practically useless and
valueless now, at such figures as to drive
oft anyone who may entertain an idea
of buying.
We do not know, of course, that any
of this mineral property will really be
sold and operated, although there are oc
casional rumors that such and such par
ties were prospecting and looking around
at the lands here, and would probably
buy and develop them, but, as a matter
of fact, nothing has really been done to
warrant this assertion, and it is a very
certain fact that nothing will be done
if property owners hold their property,
whether mineral land or otherwise, at
such figures as will make it Impracticable
for men to invest their capital here.
Now that Cartersville has a decided up
ward tendency, reason and good sense
would dictate that every means possible
should be met to push her along, and not
retard her movement or pull her back.
Good citizens, imbued with public spirit
and a true sense of enterprise, will see
this without the use of argument. Let
us do everything to invite and foster im
provements of every character and noth
ing whatever to hinder them.
Hall's Mills Doings.
This is one summer that has passed that
our farmers did not get any new ground
cleared for spring turnip patches for fear
a tree would fall on a candidate,
and now the electionering season is
over, and the cotton is opening and noth
ing is done “poor farmers,” but it is
about time for book, soap and newspa
per agents to come around and you see
we are always bothered by something if
it is nothing but “guano agents.”

Sorghum making is in fashion and J. C.
Kerr is the man to make it.
Last Thursday was a day of much as
tonishment at Halls. Mr. Will Mc-
Makin, of Kingston, passed through in
his fine two-horse buggy all harnessed
up in best style, and he himself was
dressed in the very best style, followed
by his father and Rev. Sam. Tumlin,
and the secret of the thing is to come
yet. They drove about one mile beyond
town to the residence of Mrs. Spurlock,
and there Mr. Will met his intended
bride, Miss Laura Coleman, awaiting his
arrival, and when he arrived he led her to
the altar and in a few moments they
were made happy mau and wife by
Judge Tumlin. The groom was one of
Kingston’s solidest young men and the
bride was one of C&rrolltons fairest
belles. This was a very quick match,
they were married in two weeks after
they met each other. Your correspon
dent think- they are well matched and
extends to them his heartiest congratu
lations, and wish them a long and hap
py life. Now who will be the next to
follow ? That what keeps the world in
motion.
Miss Alice Burns, one of Hall’s most
interesting belles is visiting relatives
near Rome.
Halls has made a start at last. Mr.
Burns has put up anew house, and per
haps will take in boarders or have meals
at all hours in the day or something of
the kind as he has a sign in front on a
tree which reads “Hotel.”

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. sth, 1186.
To the Courant:
It is so restful and delightful to be “at
home” once more, that I am strongly
tempted to forswear tbe “Faber” and
and put all semblance of work under as
long a taboo as possible. Yet there are
other temptations which have overcome
this weakness, and here I am at my desk,
literally in medics res, and fully un
der the sensations of the old-time scrib
bling itch. I give loose rein, therefore,
to my besetting propensity and forward
the results, be they good or ill, subject to
your decision and disposition.
the cartersville college.
I haye been asked by a great many
peopie about the proposed college in
your little city. As yet, I have been
able to give them little information con
cerning it, but I am now glad to learn
that the project has taken definite shape
and will soon be an organized fact. 1
know of no project that could have been
more wisely designed to give promi
nence, progress and prosperity to Car
tersville. It is another evidence o? the
public spirit and deeply earnest faith of
the good people of your city. Their in
terests lie very close to my affections, and
I heartily wish for them the most perfect
success in their splendid and patriotic
enterprise. It will not only be a great,
boon and honor to your people, but a
rich addition to the educational interests
ot the state.
A TABERNACLE FOR ATLANTA.
The building of the tabernacle at Car
tersville has given a fresh, and, I believe,
an effectual impetus to the movement to
build a grand and commodious tabernacle
in this city. Atlanta needs such a struc
ture. We have numerous grand assem
blies in Atlanta for which such a build
ing is needed; and we would have
many more such numerous religious,
humanitarian and progressive assembles,
had we such a place to house them
during their deliberations. Negotiations
are pending for the use of the grouud
where the tent stood during the prohibi
tion campaign and funds will be amply
forthcoming to build the structure. It
will be made of ample proportions to
bold 10,000 people, and its erection at an
early day may now be counted a cer
tainty.
“HOW ABOUT PROHIBITION?”
Nearly every stranger who enters At
lanta now asks that questions. He has
been led by the absurb newspaper “spe
cials” to believe that the recent demo
cratic primary was an overwhelming
overthrow of the prohibition cause in
Atlanta. Buch was not the case. The
prohibition cause is safe, in my judg
ment, both in Atlanta and in the hands
oi the gentlemen selected for the legisla
ture. Hon. Clark Howell is a young,
talented and laudably ambitious gen
tlemen, who is natively too shrewd and
far too honorable to betray his own in
terests or those of his people by a foolish
and unpatriotic championship of the de
feated and damnable liquor trafllc. Hon.
Wellborn Bray, I believe, is a Christian
and scholarly gentlemen, and his own
self-respect will prevent him from such
an unholy alliance.!
Hon. Samuel Weil is a German, and is
in sympathy with the German-American
idea that liquors ought to be made fully ac
cessible to mankind. But, fortunately,
he will find Americans largely in the
majority in the legislature, and I trust
he will quickly align himself with that
progressive, prohibition majority. At
any rate, since these gentlemen were se
lected by the votes of both anti-prohibi
tionists, they are under obligations to
the wishes of both. This fact will be
either a protection or a problem to them.
It will be a protection if they make it the
reason for non-interference with the pro
hibition question; it will be a problem if
they intend to interfere in any way with
the present status of the matter in At
lanta.
BILL ARP’S OMNIVOROUSNESS.
Brother Bill Arp is old enough, “purty
nigh,” to be my grand-father, and, there
fore, I suppose, we ought to submit
gracefully to his omnivorous disposition
to nibble at everybody who comes his
way. But lam especially aware that,
while Brother Bill seeks to set his mark
of approval, (as tramps disfigure gate
posts with their mysterious chalk signs)
upon everthing and everybody in the
round world, he is yet not as infallible as
the pope, nor as trustworthy, even, as
Sir Oracle. Brother Bill has taken the
trouble recently to tell the world that he
doesen’t like my references to slavery in
one of the sermons I essayed to preach
during the Cartersville meeting. This
will, doubtless, seem to some a matter
for regret, for Brother Bill’s endorse
ment is probably worth seeking. But,
as the sermon received the endorsement
that comes from helping sinners to the
cross of their precious Saviour before it
fell under the ban of Brother Bill’s dis
approval, I guess I will have to pay
about the same heed to his criticisms that
“Old Abe Linkhorn” did to similar ora
cles addressed to him by Brother Bill
about the time of the emancipation pro
clamation. If molliter manus imposuit
is one of the principles of Brother
Bill’s theology when it comes to dealing
with the whisky friends; and
“The hoas’s height
Wuz fifteen feet,
An* I’ll stick to it
Thro’ hell’s hot heat”
be of the order of his premises concern
ing the eternal righteousness of all the
incidents of slavery, then I rejoice that
he was not the Gamaliel who taught me
either “the law and the prophets,” or the
proprieties of preaching.

As chairman of the citizens’ meeting
called on the 2d inst., and in session at
the Court House on that date, I send
to you for publication the enclosed let
ter from our highly esteemed fellow
citizen Colonel Henry D. Capers.
The unselfish patrotism and manly
spirit evidenced by Colonel Capers in
foregoing any personal gratification of
ambition in placing his flattering pros
pects for election at the disposal of the
citizens, who are alone jealous for the
happiness of the people of our county,
has increased our regard for him an?
made many friends among the bestof on
people. We desire that his letter sha
be read and known by all men in Bartow
county. Respectfully,

Cartersville, Oct. 2,1886.
Hon. J. J. Conner, Col. J. G. Montgom
ery, Col. R. H. Jones, J. J. Hoicard ,
Esq. and others:
Gentlemen—Since the adjournment of
the convention, in session this morning
at the Court House, I have determined to
withdraw my name from the considera
tion of tbe people as a candidate for the
legislature.
In taking this step I regret that I have
not had the time to consult with my
friends who have so kindly given me
their support and counsel; assured when
they thoroughly understand the circum
stances that have induced me to take this
course, that they will approve my ac
tion. I do not hesitate for a moment to
perform what is to my mind a plain duty
of citizenship.
It is manifest that the six or seven
candidates will so divide the popular
vote that in the end a bare plurality will
determine who the representatives will
be. Issues have been raised in the can
vas and are forced before the people
by the action of the convention this
morning which, in my judgment, places
in jeopardy the peace of the community
and tbe happiness of many homes in the
county.
I am unwilling in any manner to be re
sponsible for such a result. Not for a
seat in the senate of the United States
would 1 plant the weeds of sorrow at tho.
threshold of the humblest home in our
county.
Thanking, in all sincerity, my frienos
for their generous support, and with the
earnest wish that He who watches over
the affairs ot men may bring a happy is
sue out of the preplexity that surrounds
you, I return to my friends inviolate and
uncompromised the trust they have seen
proper to confide to me.
I am, gentlemen, with respect, your
fellow-citizen, Henry D. Capers.

Vesuvius furnishes an example of a
volcano whose activity has been
ing instead of diminishing during the
last 2.000 years. At the beginning of
the Christian *era the mountain’s fires
seemed to have been long burned out for
ever, and the eruption which buried
Pompeii and Herculaneum in the year 79
was th? first known. The next outbreak
was not until 1036, and thereafter several
came U intervals of a century or more,
but since 1631 the eruptions have been
very numerous.

I h ive been troubled with Acute In
flama orv Rheumatism for many yeara.
I hav i tried every remedy I could hear
of, but could get no permauent relief.
Final y I was prevailed upon to try
HusNicurrs rheumatic cure.
After taking one bottle I beg in to im
prove, and when J had taken six bottles
I was sound and well. I have not been
as free of rheumatism for forty-five years,
and Hunnieutt’s Rheumatic Cure ia en
rttted co all the credit. Ido not believe
therve sa case of Acute Inflamatory or
Chror io Rheumatism your remedy will
Bot ci re, if taken according to directions
ind p Tsevo’ ed in. I have advised many
of ray friends to use it, and in not a single
case bis it failed to cure.
