HAS A DEER Csl ASE.
Knuli.il Hounds and llecKles Have a
14 Mile Ran.
Valdosta, Ga., March 7.—About a
score or more of local sports enjoyed
one of the most exciting chases yes
terday ever seen in this section of the
state. It was a deer chase, with eight
een English hounds and beagles on
the trail. The deer, a 2-year-old, was
released three miles from the city, at
Mr. W. T. Staten's house, and was
run about fourteen miles before being
captured. The first part of the race
was in the large enclosed grove in
front of Mr. Staten's residence, and
only the beagles were turned loose.
When the deer started out toward the
open words all of the logs were re
leased and the race was a beautiful
one. The deer bounded along over
brush-heaps, logs and fences like a
rubber ball, and it was all the horse
men could do to keep in sight of the
dogs and deer. After an exciting race
of several miles through Cherry creek
swamp, the chase turned back and
across toward the city, the animal be
ing captured in a lake, a mile from
town, after a four hour’s run. He was
finally captured by three new dogs, till
of the original eighteen having been
knocked out by the long run.

Swainsboro, Ga., March 7.—Judge G.
S. Rountree of this city has announced
his candidacy for the state Senate
district. It is not likely that
he will have any opposition. He rep
resented this district several years
ago, and while there not only gave
entire satisfaction, but when he re
turned home, unlike most other men.
has not spent his time in trying to
go back to the legislative assembly:
but his chief delight seems to have
been to keep his party organized, and
to help others who had political as
pirations. His candidacy can truth
fully be said to be a case of the office
seeking the man. for while his friends
have been after him for several months
to run, still, until very recently, he
would not even consider the matter.
His election is a foregone conclusion,
and in him the Sixteenth district will
have a strong representative.

! WHITE MAN'S COUNTY.
| CARROLL RICH IV AGRICULTURE,
MIXES AM) EXTERPRISE.
Third on the List of Cotton Growing
Counties of Georgia and a Colored
Fare n Rarity—\ained After
Charles Carroll of Maryland, Last
Survivor of the Signers of the Dec
elo ration of I ndependenee—Car
rollton, the County Sent, a Busy
City of the Northwest Tier—Some
of the Institutions nnd People ot
Carroll.
Carroll county is two counties west
of Atlanta, and is in what is called
Northwest Georgia. It is a white mans
county, a colored face being a rarity;
doubtless to that is due its great
prosperity. Its citizens claim that it
is the most prosperous county in the
state. It has a variety of soils, gray
loam, red clay and others, and eonse
i quently its agricultural possibilities
j are virtually unlimited. According to
i the United States statistics it is the
| third in the list of cotton growing
| counties in Georgia, having produced
last year 28,504 bales. One bale of cot
' ton is frequently made to the acre.
' Corn is also a paying crop, and 40
bushels to the acre Is not unusual.
Wheat, bailey, oats, sugar cane and
, all kinds of vegetables do splendidly,
1 and fruits, large and small, grow to
perfection. The land is rolling, but not
hilly, and is well watered and drained.
The county was laid off in 1826. The
population, according to the last
United States census was 26,576, an
increase of 20 per cent, in ten, years.
It was named after Maryland’s pa-
I triotlc son, Charles Carroll, of Carroll
ton. a signer of the Declaration of
Independence, and the last survivor
°f ‘.I 131 no ' J ' e array of American "reb
els. ’’ whoije success made them pa
triots. Mr. Carroll was a millionaire
twice over, and by far the richest man
in the colonies. As he was about to
sign the precious document, someone
suggested that there were other
Charles Carrolls, and in the event of
trouble It would be difficult to iden
tify the right one, Mr. Carroll, hear
ing the remark, added "of Carrollton,”
so there might be no mistake as to the
man.
Carroll county is rich in minerals,
especially in gold, of which there are
a number of mines in the county.
There is also a large deposit of iron
pyrites which is now being developed.
Educational affairs In Carroll coun
ty are controlled by a Board of Edu
cation, of which Dr. W. W. Fitts is
chairman, and Mr. J. s. Travis is
school commissioner. Mr. Travis Is a.
brother to Mr. W. C. Travis of Sa
vannah. According to the state school
commissioner’s report for 1900, there
are 76 white and 16 colored schools in
the county, and the enrollment is
white 6,136, and colored 1,365. The av
erage monthly cost per pupil is $lO5
and the average monthly cost paid bv
the state is 83 cents. Prof.
~ Caldwell is principal of
the Carrollton public school. Bowden
| College. President V. YV. Whatley, is
located at Bowden.
Carrollton, the county site, was In
corporated in 1829. It is a prosperous
city, and shows an increase of 27 per
cent, in population in the last decade.
1 According to the census of 1900 its non-
I illation was 1,998, and it may now be
safely placed at 2,500. The Carrollton
- e r.^ US -,.? istr , ict shovvs a population of
.1,934. lhe city has a waterworks sys
tem for fire purposes, with a stand pipe
of 10.000 capacity, and also a. sewerage
system. The streets are wide and well
kept. It is on the Central of Georgia's
line from Griffin to Chattanooga, thus
giving advantage of either the
eastern or western markets. The
Southern Railway runs within ten
miles and connects with the Central of
Georgia at Bremen. A special train
front Carrollton connects with the
Southern Railway at that point.
Carroll county court house is a very
handsome structure, surmounted by a
high tower, in which there is to be
placed a clock. Preparations were being
made for placing it in position while I
was in the city.
The business houses are large and
well built, and the stocks of goods
theiein embrace everything that is re
quired in the home or on the farm.
Though it was neither a court nor
sales day when I made mv visit, busi
ness appeared to be quite brisk with
the merchants.
Carrollton is one of the wealthiest of
the smaller cities of the state, and its
future is as full of promise as any.
Its business interests reach out for
forty to fifty miles, even into Alabama,
and the result is that its cotton re
ceipts are increasing every season, and
will reach 35,000 bales this year. There
are two banks, each showing a large
surplus and a handsome credit to the
undivided profit account.
Prior to the early 70's Carroll
county had no means of communica
tion with the outside world except by
stage coacht connecting with the rail
road at Newnan, and received Its
freight by wagons. The people lived in
a favored land, and were independent
of the outside world; their means of
communication were ample for their
wants, and they gloried in the title of
“citizens of the Free State of Car
roll."
The Carrollton Cotton mill is a suc
cessful industrial enterprise estab
lished by local capital. It
has 6.<XKI spindles and 200 looms
and Uses 1.500 bales of cotton annu
ally. It makes only the finer grades
of thread, 30 and 40.
The city is lighted by electricity, as
are most of the stores and dwellings.
The Presbyterian Church is anew
and stately edifice, recently erected at
a cost of $17,000. Rev. William A. Nis
bet of Savannah was the pastor of the
Carroll county Presbyterians for eight
years, and I had many friendly in
quiries about him.
The Methodist Protestant Church
is also a large denomination in Carroll
ton and has a church which cost $7,000.
The Baptists are also well represent
ed in the city and county.
The banks are the Carrollton Bank,
with a capital of $50,000. J. T. Brad
ley, president; C. H. Stewart, vice
president; J. R. Adamson, cashier, and
C. B. Lasseter, bookkeeper; and the
First National Bank. L. C. Mande
ville, president; E. R. Brodnax, cash
ier, and C. B. Merrell, assistant cash
ier.
The county officers of farroll county
are, ordinary, S. J. Brown, clerk of
the Superior Court. J. R. Barron;
sheriff, J. L,. Merrell; tax collector, P.
P. Kingsberry; fax receiver, J. A. F.
Broonr county treasurer. C. W. Grif
fin; coroner. J. L. Johnson; county
surveyor, O. B. Pearce.
The newspaper world is well repre
sented in Carrollton by the Free Press
and the Times. I believe both papers
were founded by the late E. R. Sharpe,
one of the old standbys of the Geor
gia Press Association.
The Carroll Free Press is edited and
published by that veteran journalist,
J. T. Hearn. Esq., formerly of Savan
nah; a gentleman who knows the art
of.printing from Alpha to Omega. The
Free Press is a neat and newsy paper.
Mr. Hearn has for his assistant his
daughter, and his office is a model of
neatness.
The Carroll County Times is edited
by Mr. J. J. Thomas, who left Geor
gia for Arkansas 20 years ago, but
who returned two years since, satis
fied that there is no place like his na
tive state. Mr. Thomas has two
daughters to assist him in getting out
his excellent paper, and keeping the
office in ship-shape.
I have noticed that In newspaper
offices in the smaller as well as in the
larger, cities, where women are at
work. there is a tidy and
"everything in its placq|’ appearance.
There are no old ink-daubed
towels, old shoes, pipes, cigar stumps,
and other dirty things lying around,
to say nothing of unswept floors and
undusted counters and cases. In some
offices where women are not employed,
the floors never a broom in months,
and everything looks out of kelter. A
woman in a printing office of that class
would not onljs be a blessing to those
who work in them, but a paying busi
ness investment, because there would
be more trade and less waste. Cus
tomers will do no more business than
they can help with slip-shod news
paper people. A neat printery like a
neat store will attract trade. A news
paper office should be kept clean, even
if the editor has to do the sweeping
and dusting himself. Neatness and
cleanliness in any business is a good
investment. If cleanliness is next to
Godliness, there are some newspaper
offices that are not in the same block
with that place where the "gates are
ajar” for good people. Get a wo
man or broom gentleman, or get the
first and she will do the rest. You
will find that there is health and
wealth in a well kept newspaper office.
Carrollton has a rarity, an artistic
printer. Artists in type and print,
like those of brush and chisel, are born,
not made. Mr. Robert Lee Sharpe,
“the model printer” sets up and prints
us neat a job as can be seen in any
printing office. His office has the ap
pearance of an artist’s studio: it is
filled with specimen of his art. His
work is appreciated, as all good works
are. by the business men of Carrollton.
No printing should leave Carrollton so
long as the ’’Model Printer" is there
to do it.
Mr. Joe Klngsberry, the owner of
Oak Lawn farm, and a well known
breeder of fine horses and cows, lives
a mile out of Carrollton.
Of course, Carrollton has several ho
tels, but following ,thfe drummers, who
usually know which is the better
place. I found myself at "The New
Southland;” neatly kept by Mr. I. D.
Fincher, where I spent my first day
within the boundaries of the free state
of Carroll.
Besides those mentioned above, near
ly all of whom I met, 1 had the pleas
ure of introductions to Judge W. F.
Brown, ex-representative; Hon. N. J.
Tumlin, a brother of Capt. William
Ttimlin of Savannah,. Hon. John T.

At Camden, N. J.. they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William J-
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when Dr. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
“He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes if he had not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. It was
there that he contracted the pneu
monia trouble, and this, with the dia
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with.”
Thereupon Dr. W. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau o'
Materia Medica, said:
“That meets my argument for Su
wanee Springs. I published a good
word for them five years ago. and I
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences ot
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, an
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Spring’
equal in every way to the most aristo
cratic in Europe, need our apprecia
tion, and they are getting it.”
