THE COURANT. [ptiblislied Every Thursday, CARTERBVILLE, GEORGIA. Official Organ Bartow County. o P'B - OCTOBER 14, 1886. Secretary of the Treasury, Manning, has so much improved in health that he will soon resume active work in his de partment at Washington. Cluvf.rius tile convicted murderer of his cousin, Miss Madison in Richmond, was rcsentericed there to be hung on Sat urday, the day of execution is fixed for the 10th of December. While the democrats in Tennessee claim they will elect “Bob” Taylor by at least 40,000 majority, the ’ republican candidate will be the next Governor by 6000 majority. Arrangements have been made for the removal of the remains of the Chief Justice Chase from Washington to Ohio, The Justice’s of the Supreme Court have met and appointed a committee to repre sent the august body in the exercises to be held in Cincinnati when the re mains will be taken, Hon. “Sunset” Cox minister to Turkey, arrived in New York Sunday on the steamer La Champaigne. Ilis wife accompanies him. lie says his return is on matters of business in connection with his mission, but also says frankly that he will be a candidate for re-election to con gress from New York city. The Israelites all over the world celebrated their day of atonement last Saturday. Youn Kippur, they call it, and they consider it the most sacred day in all their calender of days of worship. From sundown Friday to sundown Satur day the devout Hebrew, fasts in the strict est sense of the word and devotes himself to meditation and prayer. A new scheme has been inaugurated colonize the negro, by an organization which has been formed in Washington to direct the exodus of the colored peo ple from the south. Fred. Douglass is president and the plan is to locate the emigrants in colonies of about twenty live wherever suitable locations can be found!. Twenty-five years ago the Palmetto Guard, which was the first confederate military company to open five on Fort Sumpter, and since then has been an 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. A fire broke out in St. Louis on the night of the 4th inst., in a box factory anil caused the loss of $10,000; covered by insurance. While the fire was in progress a fire plug hurst and Hooded the entire neighborhood, and a young man aged seventeen years was drowned in a ditch on Carroll street while trying to escape the Hood. He clitned a lamp post on the edge of the ditch, but lost his bol l and fell into the water, and before help could reach him he was drowned. Prof. E. E. Barnard, of the Vander bilt University observatory discovered another comet on the morning of the sth inst. This makes the seventh comet that he has found wandering in space. He says the apparent motion of this comet 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. Tlie Splendor of a September Day. It was a bright day in New Orleans, La., on Tuesday, Sept. 14,1886, the 196th Grand Monthly (the Quarterly Extraor dinary) Drawing of the world-renowed Louisiana State Lottery, when some $522,000 was scattered to all quarters of the globe by the wheel of fortune under the sole care of Gen’ls G.

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.) Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
