active organization, has elected General
Lucius Fairchild commander in chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, an
honorary member. General Fairchild
has accepted the honor. Hello! up there
in the north, do you know the war is
over ?
There are twenty five beneficiaries o*
the Ladies Confederate Society of Balti
more. It is a splendid institution con
ducted by noble-hearted women and is
doing a vast deal of good. The Courant
heartily agrees with the Savannah News
in its expression that it would be a good
idea for the ladies of other Southern
cities to follow the example of those of
Baltimore in looking after needy ex-Con
federates soldiers, their widows and or
phans.
When Samuel Fielden, one of the
condemned * Anarchists was giving his
reasons before Judge Gary in Chicago
Friday last why the sentence of death
should not be passed upon him, a daugh
ter was born to the miserable man. Ac
counts say the knowledge of this inten
sified the bitterness of his speech and
made his burden harder to bear. The
mother, it is said, was heart-broken at
the thought of the improbability of her
new born ever seeing its father.

is in the direction of the sun, and should
its easterly motion continue it wiil soon
pass from sight. Its appearance is that
of a mass of bright haze, strongly con
densed in the middle with small and dif
ficult nucleus, and a very' faint short tail
pointing away from the sun.
BEMEMBEB IT.
Mr. 11. E. Colton, who is well known
in this community as a geologist of great
ability, was in the city last week, and in
conversation with a representative of the
Courant, said that there was no doubt
in the world about Bartow county being
one of the richest counties in the south
ern states. Speaking of the vast amount
of undeveloped mineral property in this
section, he said, as a geologist, that the
iron ore in these hills surrounding us,
particularly in the Etowah property, was
peculiarly free from phosphorous, and
very rich in metallic manganese, one of
the best articles yet discoyered for mak
ing Bessemer steel.
Now, while this is strictly true, it is
not printed here as a matter of news, for
it is patent and trite to the minds and in
formation of every one in this section of
country, but it is printed to remind the
peop’e of Cariersville and of this great
county, of the wealth that is about them,
that they may endeavor by the best pos
sible means and the use of all the poten
tialities at their command to place this
section in a situation to attain the grand
position of a flourishing commercial
and manufacturing center that is des
tined for it.
CA It TERS VILLE AS A COTTON
MARKET.
Farmers, as a rule, are practical men,
with clear heads and sound judgment,
and The Courant, proud to esteem the
farmers its especial friends, desires right
here to give them some incontrovertible
facts by which they may profit, and to
correct a silly romance about the cotton
buyers here forming themselves into a
combination, pool or syndicate to get the
farmers’ cotton at a minimum figure by
each having separate days to buy. The
Courant in all sincerity assures the farm
ers that it has instituted a thorough and
impartial investigation into this matter
and for their benefit alone, and it is pre
pared to and does declare that there is
not a scintilla of truth in the rumor. The
buyers here buy on orders, as elsewhere,
and could not enter into any such combi
nation, eyen if they wished to, and be
sides that there is more or less competi
tion between them, and they could not
n the nature of things enter into any ar
rangement of that kind. Independent
of that the cotton buyers of Cartersville
are as honest and as straightforward men
as can be found anywhere in the country.
The buyers here have large orders for
cotton on hand, indeed one of them has
an order for five hundred bales and is
partly filling it in other markets, as the
staple is not coming in freely enough,
although the receipts for the past few
days have been unusually large, especial
ly on Tuesday, when every bale brought
into town was bought.
All of the buyers here have large or
ders for cotton, and pay as good prices as
can possibly be obtained elsewhere. It
is a fact that the prices paid for cotton
here, will compare favorably with those
in surrounding markets; our buyers
pledge themselves that they will pay pri
ces here, which with shipping expenses
added, cannot be more than realized in
any other market. We repeat that com
petition is lively here and that our buy
ers are honest. The quality of cotton
that comes to this market is good and
will compare favorably with any other
cotton in the eastern markets, and from
this fact buyers here expect large de
mands from spinners direct. Let the
farmers remember in all truth that Car
tersville is equal to any contiguous mark
et, Rome or Acworth or anwhere else.
The farmers can get more net money for
their cotton here than if they haul it to
Rome or Acworth or any other market.
In proof of this assertion see the Atlanta
quotations for low middlings on Tuesday,
8 3-1 G cents, while our buyers paid 8%
cents for the same grade, also the Rome
quotations of that day, which are S}£ as
a basis for middlings, exactly the same
price paid here.
These are facts and we trust that the
farmers will understand that they will be
treated as fairly and as honestly and as
liberally here as in any market they can
go to, and put a stop to the ridiculous
yarns that are without any foundation
whatever.
WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH ITf
There is only one more license to
sell liquor by the quart in Atlanta re
maining out, that of J. C. Ma3 r son, and
this expires on October 26. The Kimball
House quart license expired at midnight
Saturday. After the 26th it will be im
possible, under the law, to get any li
quor in Atlanta except domestic wines
and beer delivered by the brewery at
residences. The Constitution has been
agitating the question as to what will
become of the two thousand dollars
spent daily in that city for drink. Of
course the anti-prohibitionists claim that
this money will be spent outside of the
city for liquor. They say that the men
who have continued to drink under all
of the inconveniences and disadvantages
of the past two months will drink on, and
if they can’t get their liquor there, they
will get it elsewhere, and the money will
go out of Atlanta and other places will
get this revenue.
The prohibitionists on the other hand
declare that a very large proportion of
it, perhaps three fourths will be spent in
food, clothes and shelter. It is not con
sidered at all probable that even a fourth
of the amount lately spent for liquor
will be sent off to other places for that
purpose. And they add, with convincing
logic. “But even if it is, it cannot be more
utterly lost to Atlanta, than when a man
buys liquor with it here and pours the
liquor down his throat. Every dollar
spent for liquor in Atlanta, is wasted,
and worse than wasted for the man be
comes drunk, disorderly and dangerous.
You will find, however, that the tw r o
thousand dollars a day which is now
spent for liquor, will be saved to the
families of the men who drank, and
spent, or invested for the benefit of the
women and children.” That is abso
lutely true, and the fact will establish
itself that the moral turpitude of some
people in Atlanta will be transformed in
to decent and respectable manhood.
TIIE PLACE TO COME.
The territory in which the Courant
is now being circulated has been so great
ly enlarged of late, that it is well to call
the attention of those living at a distance
to the magnificent climate with which we
are blessed, our splendid agricultural fa
cilities and the apparently inexhaustible
mineral mines about us. These beautiful
hills that shield our community from any
keen winds that might blow in the depth
of winter, are filled with the richest iron
ores known to geologists, and for lack of
capital they are now undeveloped and
not operated. There is no more inviting
field for a capitalist to inyest his money
judiciously than right here. Railroad fa
cilities are everything that could be de
sired, abundance of coal is near by, labor
and living is cheap, the climate is inex
pressibly pleasant and attractive, no rig
orous winters, but always healthful and
exhilarating, the people are warm heart
ed, responsive and hospitable.
If our readers in Canada, or in the
North or Northwest, will take these mat
ters into consideration, when seeking a
desirable place to settle in, they will perf
force be induced to look favorably upon
Cartersville and Bartow county. Inves
tigate our many advantages and satisfy
yourself that they are unequalled any
where.
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
The General Triennial Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church is now
in session in Chicago. Several important
subjects will be brought up and discuss
ed before this body, which is said to con
tain some of the brainest and most gifted
men in the nation.
The Episcopal church has rapidly ad
vanced in Virginia, Maryland, Ken
tucky, and in the North and East. Its
beautiful and devotional liturgy emi
nently meets the demand of those who
seek a quiet and serene contemplation of
religion. Among the subjects that may
come up, will be that of Christian Un
ion, numerously signed memorial has
been presented inviting attention to this
subject. The New York Sun comment
ing on this says very properly that “the
division among Protestants, and the sep
aration between Catholics and Prote
stants cause an enormous waste of ener
gy at a time when Christianity needs to
expend its whole force against enemies
who would undermine its foundations.”
HENRY GEORGE.
The candidacy of Henry George, the
socialist and friend of the working man
of New Yortc city, has aroused an un
precedented interest in the coming mu
nicipal election in that city. Mr. George
is the author of “Progress and Poverty”
and similar works of a socialistic charac
ter, is a brilliant writer and a thought
ful man, with peculiar originality and
intrepidity. Should he be elected Mayor
of New York, the chances are by no
means remote that he may be the chosen
standard bearer ot the Knights of Labor
and other labor organizations in 1888,
for the presidency. Should this be so,
the next presidential canvass would be a
sharp one and clearly defined. It would
array labor against capital in all of its
united natoinal and untried strength.
Hence the coming election for the May
oralty of New York will be watched
with the closest attention everywhere.

A reputable Maine newspaper says
a terrible looking wild man ten feet high
was recently killed 100 miles north of
Mooseliead Lake. He had previously
killed one of three hunters, and the oth
er two got reinforcements and slew the
giant, who was covered with long
brown hair. There also comes from To
peka, Kansas, an account of the capture
of a wild family, consisting of a man
and woman and two children. They al
so had much hair on their faces and
bodies, and the account says that on the
top of the heads of the man and woman
were evidences that they had been
scalped. The theory advanced is that
they were captured and scalped by In
dians, and then escaped and became in
sane.
A distinct shock of earthkuake was felt
in Augusta at 11:15 o’clock, city time
Friday morning. It did not resemble
former jars, which seemed to sway
buildings, bilt appeared to act from di
rectly beneath the floors, and jostling
rather than shaking. This difference
was noticed by the entire Chronicle
night force, who plainly felt the shock
and made a dash for the street. The
jar was not felt by the people asleep,
and there was no excitement. Few people
are on the streets. This is the most dis
tinct shock felt there in weeks.
The Albany news favors the establish
ment of the whipping post, and thinks
that drunkenness should be made a crime
and be punished as such.
In Pulaski county a prominent farmer
has gathered 55 bales of cotton from a
five mule farm. He will get a few more
bales of cotton out of his crop, besides
which he has made a plenty of corn.
Speaking of the strike in Augusta the
Chronicle notes the fact that “a family
once employed at the Augusta Factory
earned $136 a month. On a strike they
draw $4.80 a week. They are still out
because subordinated to the will ot other
people.”
Hon. Dudley Dubose of Washington
Ga. was married at Christ Episcopal
church, Charlottesville Va., on Thurs
day night last to Miss Emma Carr Rob
ertson daughter of Judge W. J. Robertson
of that place. It is said to have been the
most brilliant wedding celebrated in the
old Dominion for years.

REV- SAM P. JONES IN CANADA.
He Receives a Hearty anil a
{Christian Welcome.
THE INITIAL. SERVICES.
Interest Increasing anil Glorious Results
Anticipated.
The Toronto Canada papers have long ac
counts of Mr. Jones arrival there and of his dis
courses. The Globe and the Mail the largest pa
pers in the dominion are publishing daily ver
batim reports of his sermons. The latest pa
pers from that city say that the interest in the
Sam Jones meetings is intensilled daily and they
look forward to unparalleled results in this the
greatest religious revival even held in that part
of the world.
Mr. Jones preached his opening sermon las
Thursday night. It was a splendid effort, and
made a great impression upon his vast congre
gation. ft is words were frequently met by
outburst of admiring applause and exclama
tions of approval. He preached on this occasion
on “Cornelius, a devout man who feared God
with all his house.”
Appended is an extract of the initial service
taken from the Toronto Mail of the Bth instant.
The Mutual street rink was crowded last night
by over three thousand people on the occasion
of the first revival service held by Rev. Sam
Jones. At the back of the platform were sta
tioned a choir of about 400 voices, who led the
singing during the evening, the accompaniment
being played on a small reed organ.
The chair was occupied by Rev. Dr Potts, and
the following were seated upon the platform:—
Rev. Dr. Briggs, Rev. Hugh Johnston, Rev. Dr.
Sutherland, Rev. Dr. Williams, Methodist Gen
eral Superintendent, Rev. Manly Benson, Rev.
Shaw, Rev. Dr. Rose, Rev. Nelles, Rev. T. W.
Jolliffe, Rev. Dr. Thomas, Rev. Dr. Aylswortli
(Mount Forest), Rev. Dr. Dewart, Rev. Dr.
Stone, Rev. John Hunt, Rev. J. E. Starr.
The service was opened by the singing of the
doxology, conducted by Prof. Maxwell, of Cin
cinnati.
Rev. Dr. Potts then led in prayer, after which
Rev. Dr. Sutherland read ten verses from the
tenth chapter of St. Luke. The choir sang “I
Want to be a Worker” to a very lively and jolly
tune.
Prof. Maxwell— Let us sing “ All Hail the
Power of Jeusus Name.” If you don’t know
the tune sing something you do know. Ii will be
all right.
The hymn was sung and the choir followed
with hymn 134. Rev. Dr. Williams led in pray
er, after which Rev. Sam Jones and Professor
Excell, of Chicago, entered and took seats on
the platform.
Professor Excell, of Chicago, then sang the
“Lily of the Valley,” with choral refrain.
The Chairman said they had reached an hour
anticipated long by believing and praying souls in
Toronto. Rev. Sam P. Jones had arrived and
was now prepared to speak to them in the Mas
ter’s name. He (Dr. P.) wanted to say to
Brother Jones before he rose—and he was sure
he voiced the Christian sentiment of that great
gathering—that they welcomed him to Toronto
with all their hearts. (Amen.) They w-anted to
assure him of their confidence in him,.and of
Christ in the extension of His kingdom in this
city. (Hear, hear.) As Bro. Jones tarried with
them during the next few weeks they would re
member him in their private prayers and in their
family prayers, and as they gathered from day
to day in that rink, so that he might from the
first learn that he was surrounded by Christian
workers whose hearts the Lord had touched.
He then called on Bro. Jones.
HISINTRODUCTORY.
Rev. Sam Jones then came forward and said:
—Mv Christian friends and ladies and gentlemen
of Toronto, it gives me great pleasure to meet
you and greet you in Christ Jesus, my Lord. I
come to you with a heart full of love to God and
full of sympathy with my fellow men. I come
to you to-night with consciousness that I bring
the prayers of twenty-eight different States of
the United States with me in this work. One
hundred thousand of the best people I ever met
have placed their right hand in mine and said to
me, “We will pray for you every day that God
may make you a power in the Gospel of
Christ.” A great many would-be wise men
have searched and searched and discussed and
discussed the secret of what they call Mr.
Jones’ power. Brethren, can any man preach
with the consciousness that 100,00# good people
pray for him daily, and not preach with power?
There is a God, and that God hears and answers
prayer. Blessed be His holy name. Now I
want to say a word or two.* I want to thank
Brother Potts and the Christian people present
for their work, I rely upon that. I rely upon
your prayers and the help of God. I want to say
to you for the next two or three weeks, we need
a great deal of prayer first. We need Christian
workers; in about four weeks we will need a
great many critics. We want the critics kept
busy for a year thanking God for the good work
done and saying there were more souls con
verted than ever before, and that Toronto had
been shaken by a mighty spiritual cyclone. We
do not need any critics for the first few days. It
takes less sense to criticise than to do anything
else. Some of our finest critics are in in the lu
natic asylums. (Laughter.) I want your pray
ers, your sympathies, your earnest co-operation!
Ido not want your endorsement. When Igo to
leave this city, I won’t ask preachers or people
to give me a certificate of good behavior. In
the first place, I do not think I need it; in the
next place, 1 don’t know whether your certificate
will be worth anything to me or not. Laugh
ter.) When people read your certificate, the
question asked would be, “Who are they?”
Give me your prayers, sympathy and co-opera
tion, and let God do the endorsing, and we will
HAVE A GRAND TIME.
I don’t want any of these priests to endorse me.
I won’t indorse yon. (Laughter.) If I was as
well trained for the ministry and had as many
opportunities for do ng good, I would not ask
anybody to indorse me. I feel that way about
it. (Laughter.) Many questions come up at
meetings of this kind. Do you indorse Him?
Always say “No; I am trying to co-operate with
him.” If a Newfoundland dog were to come to
my town and bring with him the glad news that
in Chicago or Cincinnati or Toronto he won 100
000 souls to Christ, I would invite that dog to
my home and make him my guest and make liim
win every sinner. If the devil will repent and
get religion and go working for souls, I will help
him. My method and manner are peculiar, ana
I will give you the secret of its peculiarity. It
is because lam perfectly natural. I have seen
self-made men, they said; college-made men,
they said; but I am no self made man. God
made me from head to foot, and I have never
tried to change or interfere with His job. What
ever you see is perfectly natural. Ido not care
to see a brother who has one voice for the pul
pit and another for the street. I have in mind
the man who has one voice for the pulpit, a low
guttural baritone voice. He goes into the pul
pit and thinks I am a very irreverent fellow.
He cannot stand my irreverence. When he
preaches, he addresses some great Being who
inhabits eternity, and speaks to Him as one
over all. If I went to my brother selling goods
in Toronto, and said. “Oh my great brother
who selleth goods, I want to see a divinely-col
oured pair of hose for my wife,” they would run
me out. Pardon me if I am natu
ral, and talk to you from the pulpit just as we
talk to each other in your stores and workshops.
Let me be a man in the workshop of Jesus
Christ. lam sorry for the man who is nothing
but a preacher. (Laughter.) My eccentricities
you will find to be nothing more nor less
TUAN MY NATURALNESS
and I will be natural here, as I am perfectly
natural at home. 1 may say a great many things
that do not exactly harmonize with your notions
of things. But where did you get your notions
of things, and what are they worth anyyvay?
(Laughter.) You may estimate along that line.
Some of your ladies may be shocked a little, but
I will give you this pointer. Seventeen years
ago 1 married a beauciful, well-educated Chris
tian girl in Kentucky, and we have lived happi
ly together for those seventeen years, and every
time I kiss her good bye and leave home she
cries and cries, and if she can put up with me
for seventeen years I think you can for three
weeks. (Laughter.) Let us get along in a
friendly and kindly way with each other. I
promise you this much, nothing you say or do
shall hurt my feelings. Really, I never carry
my feelings round with me. (Laughter.) When
I leave home 1 leave my feelings there. I am
afraid somebody will hurt them, and I don’t
want them hurt. Leave your feelings at home.
Come to the house of God to be benefited and
take what will benefit you and leave the other
for somebody else, for the very thing you don’t
like is going to be the thing another fellow will
iike. when you have got a crowd like this you
have got to liaye a great deal of variety. Let
us work in harmony. Above all, you Christian
people who have the ear of God, pray and read
and pray on, and work and pray on, and I pro
mise you this much, things will look bright and
happy from the other end of the meeting.
(Amen.) God give us the patience and the
Christian courage and the Christian fortitude to
do the work which is before us. I come in the
name of Jesus. I come in the name of our
Father in heaven. I believe He will help me.
If I did not I would shut this book now, and
shut my mouth and take the first train that
leaves for home. Trusting in God and believ
ing that you will co-operate with me under
God, I shall begin work; and remember this, if
you remember nothing else, I said—“ Worthy is
the Lamb that was slain to receive honor and
riches and power and dominion forever. (Amen.)
