THE Fkkk Press Is an exponent of the Free
Democracy of Georgia, and is opposed to al
Rings, Cliques and Combinations organized for
the defeat of the will of the People in all matters
of public interest, and will ever defend Free
Thought, Free Action and a Free Ballot.

For reasons unknown and inexplica
ble; to us, the legal advertising of Bar
tovv county is to be transferred from The
Free Fkess to the American. Upon tills
subject we have nothing to say so much
lor our own personal interests, for those
of tiie Anier lean, nor those of the county
officers, as we do for what we believe is
right in behalf of the people of Bartow
county in the disposition of such patron
age. Of course, we desire ail the legal
advertising we can git, not at the expense
of the people mostly interested in such ad
vertising. That has been our record for
more than thirty years. Legal advertis
ing can never rightfully he directed to
personal interests.
Now, what we have to say to the peo
ple of Bartow county, and we say so
kindly and respectfully to all concerned,
is that The Free Press has more than
t wice the .circulation of the American.
We are ready, at any time, to show up
the hooks to three of the best men in the
county to determine. We are willing
that our faithful postmaster shall be one
of the men, and abide their, decision as
being just and right. This proposi
tion is fair and honorable in deciding
which paper has the larger circulation.
We throw out the challenge kindly and
in the public interests of Bartow county.
If The Free Press has twice the cir
culation ot the American in Bartow coun
ty or any where else, then, in the inter
est, of the widows and orphans of the
county, the defendants in sheriff’s li. fa.
.'ales, as well as all the legal advertising
ot the county, ought to have the legal ad
vertising of the county. If the American
can show up these points, then, we say it
ought to have it, and our county' officers
would make a great mistake in not so
awarding it. A late editor of the Ameri
can candidly acknowleged to us that, he
knew The Free Press is justly entitled
to the legal advertising of the county by
reason of its superior circulation. We
know the fact to be true, also, by reason
oi having printed off the American for
several weeks. These things we write in
Vuidness, the spirit of truth-and in jus
tice to the people of Bartow county and
the cause of right. We believe our pub
lic officers will recognize the facts stated
here to be true. At least, there is a way
to find out the facts.
The object of advertising in any com
munity, whether business or legal mat
ters, is to secure publicity to what is de
sired to be known and to gain the greatest
reward for the cash paid out in so doing.
That, we have always believed to be the
duties of public officers to their constit
uents and to those whose interests are le
gally in their hands.
In conclusion, we say that what is
here written is in the spirit of justice and
right to the public, and the county offi
cers know it.
COX Git E SSI OX A L SPEECII-MA KIXG.
The abominable practice indulged in
our federal legislation of printing un
spoken speeches- in the Congresssional
Jiecord , and never delivered in either
house, is an infamous practice upon the
people and tax-payers of this country.
Te better explain our meaning w’e copy
the following extract from the Washing
ton correspondent of the Atlanta Consti
tution :
It is well know that many of the speeches sent
out from the house in its record are never deliv
ered at all, but they go into the ollicial reports
with all the typographical grandeur of the most
eloquent efforts. Leave to print is granted by
the house for the same reason that an unread
petition is signed by many a man—simply t get
rid of a bore by the cheapest and most effectual
method. Those individuals, blessed with abund
ant leisure and endowed with all the Christian
virtues, who religiously wade through the Con
gressional Record every day must have had now
and then the dawn of a suspicion that they are
being imposed upon. Reform in this matter of
speech-making has been suggested and urged
often. Tim daily newspapers arc usually the
first detectives of any popular taste because they
feel the public pulse so often and are so directly
sensitive to its movements. They have long ago
diseoveredand proclaimed that the men who
c mtrol legislation now are not the speech-mak
ers, but the shrewd business fellows who rush
measures through by their irresistablc organiza
tion and energy. The old English lord who
said, “I have heard many a speech which chang
ed my opinion, hut never one which my
vote” anticipated the ruling methods of modern
politics. In his recent report the public printer
makes bold to attack the useless talk in the
house.
And all of this nonsensical stuil'and par
tisanism must go into the record simply
for political effect at home, to be paid for
by the hard-toiling tax-payers of the
country. We doubt, however, if the
fraud can be eradicated from federal leg
islation. Every fool in Congress regards
himself as a statesman, and he thinks a
few unspoken speeches by himself pub
lished in the Record, will lift him up at
home in the estimation of his constitu
ents, whom he expects to throw up their
hats in the campaign as the Gcsler of
political authority, It is a monstrous
fraud, morally and politically.
We have visited the federal capital for
a day only in an humble career of journ
alism ot thirty-five years. Not being a
pleader for any federal office of appoint
ment, or any ofliee, we confess we know
little of the methods and means of politi
cal trickery; but, we do know that this
practice of printing unspoken speeches
by congressmen, written for them by
poor impecunious scribes more able than
themselves in political science or state
craft, eost this government millions of
dollars that ought to be made to relieve the
toiling people of the heavy burdens of
federal taxation, thereby increasing the
happiness of the toiling millions.
There may be the speeches of some
men, under peculiar circumstances, that
might be printed in the Record on
'‘leave,” but they are extremely few.
” Tin: sm.VatioX army:'
We hope never to hear of this fanatical
band of religionists down south. They
are about as pestiferous to the communi
ties they invade, as were the temperance
crusaders were out West a few years ago.
Neither are worth anything to the
moral or religious advancement of this
nor any other country. They bring both
into ridicule wherever they go to parade
their self-con jei ted superiority over
other good people. The ‘-Crusaders”
were, and the “Salvationists” are.
n usances wherever the former went
or the latter are now going. A press
dispatch of a few days ago from New
Haven, Conn., states that —
“Owing to many complaints from citizens,
Mayor Lewis lastDight issued an order address
ed to the chief of police prohibiting the mem
bers ot the Salvation army from occupying the
stecte or public squares as heretofore, and di
recting them to refrain from singiag, blowing
horns and beating drums and tamborinss in
accordance with city ordinance prohibiting dis
turbances of such character. When the notice
vas served a member of the “army” said that
they would beat drums and keep on parading as
heretofore. They would obey God before they
would the chief of police. They marched
through the streets to-night as usual The po
lice will enforce order to-morrow, and if Salva
tionists persist in their determination they will
all he arrested.”
It is a sail reflection upon tliejeause of re
ligion that these “Salvationists” are going
around a city, “singing, blowing horns
and beating drums and tamborines,” to
the, disgust, the quiet and good order of
the people. But, if our memory serves
us right, the New Haven authorities al
lowed them to continue their howling
and bellowing. If New Haven were the
.Jericho of old with her walls, and situated
in a different country and less civilized,
the “Salvationist” might be permitted to
blow down the walls of New Haven with
rams’ horns and no other.
A' WIXGJXG OFF TO UFA VEX.
If we arc to believe the professions of a
large majority of the criminals upon the
gallows, the quickest road to heaven is to
commit murder. In our opinion, there
must be some radical defect in the teach
ings of the ministry and others upon the
subject of religion to criminals who are
soon to expiate the terrible crime of mur
der upon the gibbet; yet, nearly all such
creatures are led to believe by their relig
ious advisers that, they may swing off to
heaven with their hands red with the
blood of their fellow-man. This we can
not understand as to the religious train
ing of the most heinous convicts.
We do not believe that the clergy mean
wrong; we do believe that many of them
allow their deep sympathies and devotion
to go beyond their judgment, accelerated
by a Christian zeal to save the souls of
sinners, even “the worst of sinnors;”
and, in their work with the criminal,soon
to die, his influence upon the culprit im
parts to him the feeling and spirit of the
clergyman. It is argued that the thieves
on the cross were sayed at the last mo
ment; but it is not stated in the Bible
that* Christ ever condoned a murderer
justly under sentence of death. The
truth is, the fact that many such crimi
nals so suddenly become to believe that
they will be saved is doing the cause
ot the Christian religion great harm.
Now, it is right and proper that the
clergy visit and pray with all criminals,
for it often happens that a man is un
justly condemned and sent to the gibbet
through perjury and falseswearing; but,
at the same time, we think the clergy
ought to be very conservative and care
ful in being instrumental in the delusion
that nearly all murderer swing off heaven
as he dangles at the end of the hangman’s
rope.
ETOWAH.
What Pluck and Energy Can Accomplish
with Good Judgment.
I have been so frequently of late asked
the question “Where is Etowah and what
is it?” that I have concluded a detailed
account of the place, its owners and its in
dustries which will not only be of interest
to your readers but instructive also; in
structive, in showing the workings of the
business here carried on and also in the
lesson it conveys to young men, of what
pluck and perseverance will accomplish,
As to the place: Etowah is a lumber
town of about CO houses and 300 popula
tion, situated in the pine woods near the
southeast corner of Floyd county, Ga.
Its owners Messrs. DeWitt and D. Mor
gan Rogers located here some six j r ears
since and have built up a very large and
lucrative business. With less than a
thousand dollars as c apital, about 12 years
ago, they started a ten horse power saw
mill near Stilesboro, Georgia. Sawing
up some 300 acres of timber, thej r then
removed to anew location two miles from
Taylorsville, Bartow f county, where they
remained 3 years and then moved their
machinery to this place.
Here they engaged not only in the
sawing of lumber for market, but put up,
also lath and shingle mills. But before
removing here they had surveyed and
built, a narrow guage rail road from
Deaton’s (on the then Cherokee R. R.) to
Etowah, five miles long, and fully equip
pet it with engine and cars. As soon as
they were settled, they turned every
energ3% mental and physical, to building
up their business and their fortune, with
what success a visit here would show and
be very interesting to any one who l.a?
never seen such works. Year after year
they pushed their rail road farther and
farther into the pine land, and on com
pletion of the East Tennessee and Geor
gia rail road from Rome to Atlanta form
ed a junction with it at Seeney, thus hav
ing with the necessary sidlings over ten
miles of rail, upon which two locomo
tives with ten ears of their own are in
constant use and taking as many more
as they can get daily from the E. & W.
R. R. As soon as settled they put up a
telephone line, first to Deaton’s and then
to Seney, which proved of great utility
to them in conducting their business.
At Etowah they have one engine of 50
horse power running a large circular
saw, with cutoff and resawing machines
on the same iloor, and two bolt saws un
derneath, one engine of 40 horse power
running the planing and lath mill and
a third of 50 horse power drives the two
shingle machines, block and cioss cut
saw.
To run this machine and do ihe neces
sary work of the place they employ 5
track hands to keep the rail road in order
12 woodsmen with 14 oxen and 12 mules
to cut and haul the logs to the railroad.
2 locomotive engineers.
2 conductors.
5 train hands.
1 engineer
1 sawyer and
12 hands at sawmill,
I engineer and
5 hands at planing mills,
II hands at lath mill,
1 engineer and
' 14 hands at shingle mill,
G good hands,
1 blacksmith and striker,
1 wheelwright
3 boys toi dump carts,
1 bookkeeper and
2 clerks at store.
Ten years since they also established a
coal brigade of 30 hands, who from the
. tops of the trees felled for stocks, make
weekly about GOOO bushels charcoal all of
which is taken by Maj. West at his large
iron works at Cedartovvn.
Thus the}’ have a daily pay roll of
about 100 men and boys, paying off every
night and requiring about $450 00 per
week. Of lumber they saw 5,000,000
feet annually, 2,500,000 laths and G,000,-
000 shingles for all of which they find
ready sale, thei- market reaching from
Atlanta to Chicago. They also dress
about 1,500,000 feet flooring, ceiling and
weather boorditig annually at their plain
ing mill. They build their own passen
ger coaches and freight cars.
In their store where they carry a stock
of from 5 to GOOO dollars value, their an
nual sales are between 40 and 50,000
dollars. At their saw mill that nothing
may be wasted they cut up all the slaps.
Such as can be used for laths arc thrown
below and the refuse is sold to Ladd for
his lime kiln near Cartersville, 3 ton 4
car loads per week. Thus the whole
tree is utilized nothing being left but the
stump. No whiskey is allowed to be
sold on the place and its use discouraged
in every possible way, both by precept
and example, and the result is seen in a
quiet and well behaved population.
For the moral and religious encourage
ment of their employers they erected a
neat and comfortable chapel, plastered,
painted and supplied with good stoves,
where religious service are held every
Sabbath by ministers of the Presbyte
rian, Methodist or Baptist churches who
have goed and attentive congregations a
Sabbath and day school are conducted in
the same building.
To carry on this large business requires
all the energy off). W. Rogers, president,
and push of D. M. Rogers, manager,
ably assisted by Mr. R. Sid Patillo, as
book-keeper, and who also operates the
telegraph line (connecting at Seney
with the East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia company’s line) and keeps your
readers posted as to the news and gossip
of the place and surrounding country un
der the pseudomin of “Pine Knot.”
But this place, (as a lumber mart) is
soon to be numbered with the past.
Finding no more trees to conquer suffi
ciently near, or numerous enough to at
tack, they have bought a large tract of
the finest long loaf pine in Talladega
county, Ala., five miles below the city of
Talladega, where one of the partners is
now engaged in sawing lumber and hav
ing laid down 5 miles of track. Soon
all of the machinery and engines will be
removed to the same place and their rails
taken up here and put down there,where
they will connect on the east with the
Anniston & Atlantic narrow guage road
and push on north-west across the Coosa
river to Broken Arrow coal fields, con
necting at that point with the East <ft
West railroad of Ala., and open up an
almost direct line for coal from Broken
Arrow to Columbus and south Georgia.
At their new location they have numer
ous and never failing springs of the
purest freestone water and a salubrious
clime, situated in the midst of a refined
and cultivated people.
Knowing what they have already ac
complished, will it be too much to pre
dict that if life is spared, they will in
the near future be able to retire from
business with handsome competences, to
enjoy the fruits of their labor. So may
it be. S.

What is tlie Reason ?
On behalf of many citizens of Bartow
county we desire to kftow the reason for
changing the legal advertising from The
Free Press to the American. We have
none but the kindest feelings for the
American, but eveiybody knows that the
circulation of The Free Press is tv ice
or thrice as great as the American, and,
as the intention of advertisers is to make
most generally known the facts adver
tised -does not right and justice demand
that the advertising of Bartow county be
given to that paper of largest circulation
—irrespective of creed, parry or affec
tion? Respectfully,
Many Citizens.
We are determined to force off' stock.
Our reduced prices will convince you
that we mean business.

The Euharleo Literary Club.
To the Editor of The Free Press: The
above named club gave an entertainment
at the Euharlee Academy on the evening
of the 20th Inst, to raise funds for erect
ing an iron fence around the cemetery.
The neighbors had been on tip-toe of
expectation for the past week In antici
pation of the rare literary and musical
treat to be furnished by the club.
The exercises were instructive and en
tertaining to all. The choruses were
well received. The song, “Echo,” by
Miss Lillie Rice was rendered in her own
faultless manner. The piano solo, by
Miss Augusta Calhoun, was brilliantly
executed. Miss Charlotte Kirkpatrick,
of Cartersville, covered herself with hon
or in the rendition of the coronet solos
and lively songs. The charade, “Leap-
Year,” was applaused. “Batchelor
Milam” acted admirably; many old
maids called and proposed to marry him ;
all were rejected, save an heiress, in a
manner that made the audience roar.
Little Mittie % Calhoun personated the-
Irish girl in every particular, and Pat
acted his part finely. Upon the whole
’tvvas a very palpable hit.
Charade, “Refinement,” was acted in
a charming style, but space forbids even
a brief rehearsal of the same. The piano
duets were very beautiful, time perfect,
and the lovely' costume's of the girls, to
gether with their bright eyes and happy
faces, reminded the writer of some beau
tiful dream. Sewing machine agents
called on the ladies, each praising the
merits of his own machine. This charade
was as life-like as any play we ever saw,
and was highly entertaining. Then the
“Natural Spell” was too funny. School
girls chewing gum and spelling, the
teacher being absent. ’Twas musical
and suggested strikingly tbe country
school.
Tbe stump speech by Lee Jolley, who
personated Brudder Bones, was the finale
and all was amused if not instructed,
if we may so speak and so on.
Suffice it to say that the hall was filled
and the club acquitted tlieinsalves well,
and the appreciative audience accorded
the full meed of praise so deservedly mer
ited. Sun Queras.

THE NEW SHORT ROUTE
T O
KANSAS
—and tUK
west.
Attention is called to the new Kansas City
railroad lino now completed and in operation
between Memphis, Tenn., and Kansas City, Mo.
By this new route the south and west is brought
into close relation. Saving several hundred
miles and many hours travel between the two
sections. Jt is in fact now the only practical
route the south to all points in Kansas, Missouri,
Colorado and all western states. A through
train with Pullman PalaceSleCping ear and el
egant, day coaches leaves Memphis daily, run
ning through to Kansas City with ait change of
cars, where it arrives in time to make connec
tion in the Grand Union Depot with all trains
leaving Kansas City. For emigrants to the Pa
cilie coast and the Northwest, or lor home seek
ers in Kansas and Missouri, time and money is
saved by this short route as against the circui
tous routes via St. Louis, heretofore the only
outlet. Special low rates are matte for this class

proving nonsense—all the news of the busiest
worid at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its re

makes a practice of telliug tlieui the exact t rut
to the best of its ability three hundred and sixi
live days in the year, before election as well ~ -
arter, about the whales as well as alxuit the in

Ihk Sun has absolutely no purposes to sen,
save the information of its readers and the fur.'
tlierance of the. common good.
Because it is everybody’s newspaper. \ 0
man isso bumble that The Sun is indifferent tu
hfs welfare and his rights, No man, no assoe
tion of men, is eowertul enough to be exem
from the strict application of its principles of
right aud wrong.
Because in pdlitifcs it has fought for a dozn
years, without intermission and omctiincs al
most alone among newspapers, the light that h-u
resulted in the recent overwhelming jjopubi!
verdict against Kobesonism and for honest .-ny'
eminent. No matter what party is in powe-
Tiie Sun stands and will continue to stand like ’
rock for the interests of the people again-: th
ambition of bosses, the encroachments of m,
nopolists, and the dishonest schemes of nun, 1 ,,
robbers.
All this is-what wc are told almost daily hr
stir friends. One man holds that The Si nif p,
best religious newspaper ever published, v
cause its Christianity is undilut and with cant
Another holds that it'is best republican nenv-re
per published, because it has air. adv whipiUl
half of the rascals out of that pan v, and is i

azine of general literature in ex;, tence, bccini.-e
its readers miss nothing worthy oi notice that
current in the World of thoin. it. So ever,
friend of The Sun discovers one of its many
sides that appeals with particular force to hfs
individual liking.
If you already know* The Sun. vou will ob
serve that in 188& It is a little boner than t . r
before, If you do not already know The b. x,
you will find it to he a mirror of all liumali at
tivity, a storehouse of the choicest products of
common sense anti imagination, a mainstay ba
the cause of honest government, a sentinel for
genuine Jeffersonian democracy, a scourge for
Wickedness of erery species, and an uncommon

Chronicle ana Constitutionalist
AUGUSTA, GrA.
The Chronicle and Constitutionalist is
rapidly approaching the completion of the first
century of existence. The paper w c publish is
essentially a type of modern progress, which
demonstrates that this established journal has
become better and stronger as it increases in
years. The men who have, from one generation
to another, worked upon it, and helped to make
it a power in the laud, submit, and w ill submit,
to the common lot of humanity and pass away
from earth and its struggles, but the, result of
their labor remains, and will continue to re
main. The workmen die, hutthe work goes or.
The Chronicle of to day is an improvement
upon the Chronicle of the past. The Chroni
cle of the future will be improved upon the
Chronicle of to-day. The world moves, and
the the paper moves with it. Wonderful inven
tions, in the last half century, given an impetus
to all material things, and the press has shared
in the advantages of great discoveries, just as it
has also stimulated them. The Chronicle has
spared no pains or expense to furnish the public
with the news of the day from all cart- of the
world, and it will take pleasure and pride iu
perfecting this service from time to time. Tlie
Chronicle has endeavored to take lngh and no
ble views of public policy, and to sustain all
good and just causes.
The Chronicle has essayed to .encourage vir
tue and make the lot of man and woman all the
brighter ami better for the common weal. The
Chronicle strives to be a newspaper in the best
sense of the term, and to advance, in that mis
sion, the interests of all the people. The con
ductors of the paper cannot aud do not expect to
please everybody. In all human affairs, mis
takes of judgement w ill occur and contests of
opinion will arise. We will, however, mightily
strive to commit as few errors as possible and to
suter such coniiicts as cannot be avoided with a
proper spirit.
The Chronicle enters the new year with ex
ceptional advantages. Its daily edition is a
well-filled eight-page paper. Its second edi
tion, for the evening mails, is eight pages,
with tlie afternoon markets and telegraphic re
ports. It takes the •place of the tri-weekly edi
tion. Its mammoth we< kly paper will compare
with the country. Into this edition the choicest
and creamiest news of the week i- collected, and
upon its lap the best and freshest editorial and
miscellaneous matter from the daily is poured.
Its market reports, covering nei iy one page,
will be an especial feature, prepared each week
for the count iy reader.
Its newsservice will be sustained by trained
and scholarly correspondents in the three
capitals—Atlanta, Columbia aud Washington—
while it will strive to have a ne , s ropr -enta-
tive in every neighboring town.
The mail facilities of this paper are now su
