i HIP! HIP! HURRAH!
THE COLLEGE AN ASSURED
FACT.
A RESPONSIVE COMMUNITY SUB
SCRIBES *IO,OOO FOR IT.
Citizens Meet, a Board of Director)* and
Building Committee Formed,
AND SAM JONES IS PAID TUK MONUMENTAL
COMPLIMENT OF HAVING IT CALLED
“TIIE SAM JONES FEMALE COL
LEGE”—erORK TO BE COM
MENCED SOON.
Cartersville is to have a female college
here now beyond all perad venture. The
action of citizens on Sunday afternoon at
the Methodist Church, and on Monday
morning at the town hall, pat the seal of
consummation upon the project, which
had not before assumed tangible ghape.
That action did more—it brought out in
b Id relief the fact that only a stimulus
o like character given to those meetings
vis needed to develop the energy and
enterprise that really exists in the people
o; Cartersville, but unfortunately of late
h 8 been permitted to lie dormant.
It has been very rightly said that no
o' ler man in this section of country
c* ild have in an hour’s time extracted
000 from a crowd as Sam. Jones did
Si nday afternoon.
It had been previously announced ihat
Ss n. Jones would preach at 2:30 Sunday
afternoon, at the Methodist Church, and
would also discuss matters relative to the
projected college. The simple announce
ment that he was to preach was sufficient
to fill the church, but hardly any one
contemplated that sufficient money would
bo raised then to build the college, but
the same force that energizes all of his
many successful efforts vigorously oper
ated in this, and what would have been
an almost, if not quite, an impossible
task for others to undertake, was to him
a comparatively easy matter.
He preached a splendid sermon, full of
honest, earnest, brotherly advice, appeal
ing directly to the hearts of men and
their consciences, touching on the most
pi.ictical affairs ot every-day business
and home life. His advice to children
on their duty to their parents, wives to
husbands, husband to wives and friends
towards friends was admirable. His one
desire for perfect unity, peace and brocli
er / love in this community was never
more forcibly or feelingly demonstrated.
Mr. Jones frequently alluded to Ihe
pr jeoted college during his discourse,
an , towards the conclusion of it, he
tu led his attention directly to that sub
jet Bnd said:
•A man can be religious and never
op n his mouth,, but a man cannot be re
ligious and never do anything.”
Jones then called upon Mr. John
W. Akin to come within the chancel
rail3 and aesistin procuring subscriptions
for the college building. He then read
the instrument explaining the objects and
purposes of the desired subscription. After
informing all the “little fellows” who
wanted to go that they could “rack out,”
he said that he believed if there was no
othor consideration, thst money put iDto
the college building here would prove a
good investment. “I have no persoral
ends to gratify,” said he, “but I am go
ing to see that Cartersville advances, and
if ir, don’t, it will be because you fellows
won’t push for a man when you see him
in the shafts, pulling up a hill, with Ms
ton ;ue lolling out of his mouth.” After
speaking ot the necessity of the college,
and its benefits to the town and countv,
lie said: “God being my helper, I will
do everything I can for it. I want to say
to you all, put the walls of the college up
and perchance your humble servant may
be in a position to do more for it, he
might furnish it. I don’t say that I will,
though I may. I had rather die in the
poerbouse and know I had done the
cle n thing, than to have thousands of
dol Jars and know I know I had been a
ho. . A fellow said to me, ‘Jones you’ve
goi more money than any other man in
tov Cl.’ I said, ‘No, I haven’t; but I’ll
te! you one thing, if I had been a hog
lik you I would have had it.’ And I’ll
tel you another thing, if Sam. Jones
die a millionaire you can write on his
tor. bstone, in great big letters, ‘Hypo
cri l’ I’ll tote fair with you, every
wh re and under all circumstances, and
if ♦ fid let’s me, I’ll prove what I say to
yoi . I’ll never push a tellow in a hole
ahe id of me, so, Brother Akin, yon can
nut m* down for the Cartersville Female
Col eg* for one thousand dollars.”
Then, turning to the young men, he
Bait. : “Boys, you ought to go into this
wit’i your money; you might catch a
fish out of that college.” •
He then proceeded, in his own inimit
able wav, to secure subscriptions, and
within an hour SB,OOO of the SIO,OOO was
subscribed. The remaining $2 000
Messrs. John W. Akin, W. C. Baker,
John 11. Wikle and R. M. Pattillo guar
anteed to procure, and report Monday at
11 o’clock at the town hall, where all the
subscribers were to attach their signa
tures to the instrument.
Among the subscribers was Mr. H. o.
president of the Deßar
del 'hen coal and iron company, of Binn
ing bam, Ala., for $500; this noble gen
erosity of a stranger, is highly grati
fying to all of the people her*, and
appreciated by them greatly. TMee
ChaHeato* gentlemen, Messrs. Roberts,
Smyth* and Lopez also generously do
nated $25 in cash, which Mr. Jones
characterized as the first seed sown.
THU MEETING AT TOWN HALL.
On Monday morning, at 11. o’clock,
was a large meeting of citizens at
th town hall to finish up the work of
the day before.
Major C. H. Smith (Bill Arp) was
cb ed to the chair, and Mr. Frank Tay
lor requested to act as secretary. bub
sc: bers to the stock in the college then
ca m forward and attached their names
to he subscription list.
THE SAM. JOMB9 FEMALE COLLEGE.
On motion of Mr. Robert M. Pattillo,
the name of the college was, by a unani
mous vote, declared to be the Sam.
Jones Female College.”
Judge Wikle, Mr. John W. Akin and
others ably seconded this motion and
said that it was due to the honored and
reyerend gentleman, through whose
energy and perseverance the college tad
been made an assured fact.
Mr Jones returned his thanks in a
grateful and feeling manner fw the
honor conferred upon him, and said he
honed In the future to show how worth
ily he appreciated the kindness and
honor conferred upon him by his fellow
cit zens end brethren. Said he. You
cioi put me down for the last dollar snd
last drop of swetf for your Interest rnd
the iuterest of this community.’ He
K M3 be would go everything he could to
4nuke this community such an one that
they would be proud to live in iu He
assured his hearers that he had no sel
fish motives to further, but had only an
eye single to the common good of all.
The desire of his heart was 10 see
the people a happy, united and prospeioin
people. He loved them, and owed every
thing to them. He said Cartersville had
made Sam. Jones, under God, what he
was, and he thanked them from the bot
tom of his heart for their goodness to
him, and he prayed God’s continual bles
sings upon them all. He urged a unity
of spirit and feeling and temper in the
town. He never wanted to see them
separate on the question of any good is
sue. Said he, “I wish I could see this
railroad that divides our town run along
the extreme edge, so that there might not
be even an imaginary line of demarca
tion within the corporate limits. Let’s
get thick with the folks on the other side
of the railroad track—they are iust as
clever as those on this side of it; let’s
unite in every good thing, and be united
against everything that’B bad. Carters
ville has been divided; let us unite now.
There may be some fellows whom we
will never get with us, and maybe we
ought to thank the Lord for it. For, if
we got them with us, they would be in
our way. But let us be kind to that sort
and indulgent to them. I believe kind
ness is the most invincible weapon you
ever went to battle with.”
Mr. Jones was loudly applauded during
the speech.
It was a monumental compliment, to
Mr. Jones, and he appreciated it thor
oughly.
The stockholders then went to work,
and, oh motion of Mr. John W. Akin, it
was declared the sense of the meeting
that Mr. Jones name seven men to con
stitute the temporary board of directors,
who shall hold office until permanent ar
rangements were made. In response to
this desire Mr. Jones nominated the fol
lowing gentlemen as the temporary
board of directors: Messrs. John W.
Akin, C. H. Smith, John 11. Wikle, W.
H. Howard, W. C. Baker, Rob’c<M. Pat
tillo and Rob’t H. Jones.
On motion of Rev. J. T. Norris, these
gentlemen were elected by acclamation.
On motion of Rev. Sam. Jones, the
chairman appointed the following as a
committee to draft constitution, by-laws,
etc.: Messrs. Graham, Akin and Wikle.
Mr. John W. Akin said that he be
lieved it was the desire of every one
present that Rev. Sam. Jones name the
building committee also, and requested
him to do so. Such was the desire of the
assemblage.
Mr. Jones thought that the building
committee was the most important and
responsible part of the whole organiza
tion, and no mistake, if possible, should
be made in its selection. They wanted
five men of good judgment and men who
would work in perfect accord and har
mony.
The selection of the names was pressed
upon Mr. Jones, who, after conference
with the chairman, announced as their
selection for the building committee,
Messrs. W. C. Baker, R. M. Pattillo,
John W. Akin, Robert N. Hudson and
John H. Wikle.
These, Mr. Jones said, were live, ener
getic, safe business men, and men who
would do their work faithfully. These
gentlemen were unanimously elected.
The building committee was instructed
to confer with architects and to confine
themselves to a SIO,OOO building.
On motion of Mr. J. W. Akin, the
trustees of the Tabernacle Association
were requested to prepare the deed to the
property for the college site at once.
It was ordered that the board of direc
tors should call a meeting by publica
tion, and by notification through the
postoflice.
It was agreed that SIOO should be paid
to the architect whose plans and specifi
cations were accepted, for the same.
This amount was afterwards increased
to $l5O.
It was also agreed that the secretary of
the board of directors shall be the secre
tary of the building committee.
The soliciting committee was charged
with the duties of getting the names of
the subscribers signed to the subscrip
tion list. , ,
The reports of this committee showed
that the full amount of SIO,OOO had been
subscribed, besides which were donations
aggregating something like $l5O.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the stockholders, the board of directors
met, and, Major C. H. Smith declining
the proffered honor as chairman, on ac
count of his enforced absence in the fu
ture, Mayor John H. Wikle was elected
to fill that position. Mr. W. H. Howard
was elected treasurer and Mr. Frank J.
Taylor secretary.
Mr. John W. Akin expressed his wil
lingness to write the deed from the
Union Tabernacle Association to the
Sam Jones Female College, for the land
on which it is to be situated. The
board returned its thanks to him for this
kindness. , „,
On motion of Mr. Pattillo, the build
ing committee was requested to go to
work at once.
It was agreed that when the board ad
journed, it would do so to meet at
Baker & Hall’s office, next Monday
evening, the 11th instant.
The board then adjourned, and the
building committee then met and, on
motion of Mr. Baker, Mayor Wikle was
also made chairman of the committee.
On motion of Mr. Akin, the chairman
and secretary were instructed to get to
gether that evening and write to archi
tects for plans, etc., in accordance with
instructions of the stockholders. Alter
which the committee adjourned.
Mayor Wikle and the secretary, in
obedience to the instructions of the com
mittee, wrote to numerous architects, set
ting out the desires of the board for
plans and specifications, etc. Doubtless,
there will be a number of plans to select
from, and, of course, the best under all
circumstances will be selected.
The work will be commenced on the
college as soon as practicable now.
All wise people will avail themselves of the

Mr. Crutchfield, a half-breed Cherokee
Indian, whose home is in the Indian Ter
ritory, was in town last week. He has
been to North Carolina, visiting the In
dians in Murphy county. He says there
are about 1,200 of them there, and they
all express a desire to go the Indian Ter
ritory, provided the government will de
fray their transport ttion, etc. Mr. Crutch
field thinks the Indians in North Caro
lina are inferior in point of educational
training and intellectual capabilities to
those in the Territory, and are not as
well provided for in other respects, as
their land is poor and, although they
work hard, they don’t make much. Mr.
Crutchfield was also on a mining pros
pecting tour, and visited some old mines
in North Carolina, and located two that
he thinks will yield good returns of sil
ver. He also visited several mines in the
neighborhood of this place, and was
much pleased with the prospect and the
country. Mr. Crutchfield is a magnifi
cent SDecimen of physical manhood, and
though 61 years old, does not look over
40 and is as straight as an arrow, power
fully built and possesses the vigor and
agility of youth.

storage of corn, fodder, hay and other
produce, Mr. Walter White appeared be
fore the board and made a statement to
the effect that he did not consider that
any special danger existed as to fire, the
house was nearly always closed, the
doors were tight-fitting and no one ever
entered that storeroom with a light. He
stated that he would not for a moment
endanger his own or others’ property by
storing anything there that might cause
a fire, and others had examined it and
said they did not think it dangerous.
Mr. Bradley made a statement in sup
poitof his complaint, and. Mr. Wilker
son also made a statement, when the mat -
ter was, on motion of Mr. Hudgins, left

dition to do so.
In response to a request for informa
tion from Marshal Wilkerson, the board
authorized the mayor to inform him that
the order would stand in effect to levy on
property for delinquent city taxes after
the 20th of this month.
’ Marshal Wilkerson submitted a list of
60 names of street tax defaulters, in re
gard to which the board adopted the fol
lowing resolution:

A CHARMING EVENING.
Bachelors and Bald Heads Discussed.
The Y. M. C. A. gave a pleasant en
tertainment at its rooms on Friday night,
quite a large crowd being present and
good humor prevailed. The music was
highly creditable and much enjoyed.
The instrumental performances on the
violin and organ accompaniment by the
Messrs. Head of this place, was admirable
Their execution of the “Mocking Bird”
which was ultimately beautifully blend
ed into “Home Sweet Horae” excited
unrestrained admiration. The vocal mu
sic also delighted the appreciative guests.
Addresses were made by Rev. Sara
Jones, Mr. John W. Akin and Rev. Mr.
Hillhouse. They were in the most part
in a humorous vein. Mr. Hillhouse was
particularly facetious in his allusion to
bachelors and bal l heads, and created a
good deal of merriment in personally al
luding to a gentleman in the party, the
frontispiece of whose cranium is free
from the filament that once covered it.
Tho gentleman alluded to savs he would
have responded, but thought he could
best help on the merriment by playing
the foil to Mr. Hillhouse’s jocularity.
He says, however, that brains and hair
don’t mix.
Rev- Sam. Jones gave a regular Sam.
Jones talk, and got the laugh on several
of the gentlemen present. The social
wa9 an extremely enjoyable one and
every one was delighted.

dark grayish material of close and per
fect fit, and looked the picture of a
charming woman. A closely buttoned
Prince Albert Coat encased the form of
the groom.
At 12 noon when the couple, pro
ceeded by the ushers marched up the
aisle, their steps were made rhythmic by
the lovely strains of Mendelsohn’s wed
ding march, as it poured forth from the
organ under the splendid execution of
Mrs. Milner.
After the beautiful ceremony had been
completed, and the man of God had pro
nounced the twain man and wife, the
happy couple left the church and in a
short time repaired to the depot where
tehy took the 12 :30 train for their future
home iu Charleston, before which thev
were almost overwhelmed with congrat
ulations good wishes and God speeds of
the multitune of friends that accompa
nied them to the depot.
The Courant’a New Quarters.
The proprietors of the Courant have
every encouragement to believe that a
good business awaits their earnest efforts
to procure it, and such being the case it
was deemed expedient to move into more
elligible quarters, consequently they will
move into their new establishment, be
tween the bank and the post office, this
week. This move is to be made because
of the proximity of the building to the
places mentioned, and because of the
needs of such quarters which the increas
ing business of the Courant demands.
So far as being either on the east or the
west side of the railroad track is concern
ed, it is of no possible moment or consid
eration, one side is as good as another —
for it is one town —solid and united, and
no line or limit divides it. The Courant
will be moved because it is essential to
be near the post office and because of the
central location of the building which is
also necessary to enable the proprietors
to properly circulate their paper.
The new office of the Courant will be
on the ground floor, the business office
and editorial department will be in the
front of the building, while the mechan
ical department will occupy the rear
office.
We will endeavor to make our new
office a center of attraction as well a3 a
center of news. The latch string will al
ways be on the outside of the door, and
we will gladly welcome our friends and
every one to visit us in our new estab
lishment.
In this connection we desire to 3av that
we have the very best facilities for doing
all kind of job work in the very best
manner and with despatch at reasonable
rates, and we guarantee all work to be
entirely satisfactory. ■
To our country friends we' extend a
hearty and honest invitation %6 call on
us, makeour office your headquarters and
it will be a pleasure for us to respond to
your commands in any way we can.

Episcopal Convocation.
The convocation which was to have
been held here at the Episcopal church,
on the 13th inst , has been necessarily
indefinitely postponed, as Rev. C. M.
Beckwith, the Dean, has been called to
Texas, and will not be ab'e to attend.
As soon as the Bishop appoints another
Dean for this purpose the convocation
wil be held. The general object of these
Episcopal Convocations is the further
ance of missionary work in the diocese,
and to and scuss such matters as would
throw some light upon what the Epis
copal Church is. They are extremely
interesting and instructive occasions.
I’he time of the convocation will be an
nounced.

uuder instructions of the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad. It
is pretty generally understood about here
that the E. TANARUS., V. and G. railroad com
pany has effected a lease for twenty
years of the East and West railroad.
YESTERDAY S ELECTION.
AN EXCEEDINGLY QUIET ONE AND
A SMALL VOTE CAST.
Felton and Crawford Will Go to the Leg
islature “Happy on the Way.”
The election for state officers and mem
bers of the Legislature yesterday, was in
many respects the quietest election ever
held here. There was no demonstra
tion or enthusiasm of any
character. A reference to the tables
below will show the very small vote
polled. This is due in a great measure
to tlie fact that farmers were all busy
picking cotton, planting wheat or at
tending to other necessary duties, which
they preferred not to forego, even to
exercise their right of franchise. The
absence of all intoxicating liquor in
this city was the cause of the perfect
quiet that reigned at the polls and else
where :
