Have Contributed to Its Prosper

Villa Rica is on the Southern Rail
way, 3* miles west of Atlanta. It is
fee center of a large trade, and Us
Merchants, business and professional
men have a clientage that extends
over a large part of Carroll county,
and also ir.to the adjoining counties
of Douglas. Paulding and Haralson.
The population of Villa Rica is
about *OO, nearly all of whom are
white. The town has a graded public
school, and the people are much in
terested in education, and contribute
libetaily to the support of the cause.
Prof. V. D. Whatley is the principal
of the school.
The citizens of Villa Rica are ener
getic and progressive, and their ef
forts are destined to make their tow n
one of the foremost in Northwest
Georgia. They claim that the farmers
in the Vicinity are among the best in
the state. They do their own work,
raise fine crops, and have ample means
to supply all wants. This good feeling
must result in building up the town
and country.
Just a mile from Villa Rica is the
Klondike Gold mine, which has been
in operation for six years. It has a
190-stamp mill and all other machin
ery necessary for profitable operation.
There is also the Tonkin mine, about
four miles northwest of the town. This
is an iron pyrites mine, and is owned
by the Vlrginia-Georgia Fertilizer Cos.
The output of this mine is said to be
fully equal in quality to that of the
Spanish mines.
The Southern Railway is about
building a railroad to the mine, which
will be in operation at an early day.
There are large deposits of pyrites in
Carroll and Douglas counties, and
their development will add largely to
the business of Valla Rica.
"The Hustler” is the mouthpiece of
the people of Villa Rica and the sur
rounding country, and is doing Its full
part in advancing its growth and pop
ularity. Its editor, H. W. Barron,
i-sq., is an able and energetic Journal
ist, whose aim in life is to make his
town one of the best in the state, ahd
with the barking he has from his fel
low citizens, with all of whom he is
popular, there is no doubt that Villa
Rica will keep well to the front in the
column of growing towns of Geor
gia. 1 am under many obligations to
my friend, Mr. Barron, for courtesies
extended to me during my visit.
The Dozier House is the hotel of
the town, and Its proprietor, Mr. W T.
Dozier, Is a clever host, who looks well
after the comforts of his guests, it
was a stormy night and day that 1
spent in Villa Rica, but the comfort
able room and blight fire made me for
get fee the time the inqjement weather
outside.
The officers of thp Bank of Villa Rica
ere: \V. B. Candler, president: W. A.
Maxwell, vice president, and S. O.
Dlelder, cashier. The bank has a cap
ital of $15,000.
The "occasional'' traveler who “takes
his ease In mine inn,” a* 1 have been
doing, Is brought to realize how much
he is indebted to those regular travel
-1 a. tue drummers.” To these pleas
ant and übiquitous gentlemen is due
the good beds and good fare that are
now the rule In nearly every hotel, be
the town ever so small. Their patron
age makes It possible for a weary pil
grim, like myself, to find nice quarters,
and my gratitude to them is overflow
trig just now because the greater part
of my days and nights are passed in
the houses that would be poor indeed
were it not for the commercial travel
> bilu ibutions towards keeping
them up to the mark. "The Drummer”
of to-day is the man who makes the
railroad ticket seller, the stable man,
and hotel keeper happy, to say nothing
of his bringing the latest styles and
the latest fads in the lines which he !
represents to the merchants, and giv- !
ing them the last tip or story, j
He is like the newspaper advertisement, '
a creator of business.
In spite of a pouring rain, and wind
that made an umbrella useless, I called
upon my fellow Georgians of Villa
Rica, and passed an enjoyable day. In
addition to its citizens. 1 had the pleas
ure of meeting at Villa Rica, John B.
Hardin of College Place, Gai.. Mr.
Menzo White of Atlanta, Mr. H. TO.

A DAY IN BREMEN.
The Center of a I,h ritr Trade In
Harolion County.
Bremen is at the crossing of the
Southern Railway and the Griffin,
Cirrollton and Northern Railway. It
has a good hotel, the Boatright House,
a Baptist and a Methodist Church,
a dozen of stores, and a number of
handsome residences. Three new
brick stores are now- being built. I
spent several hours there, going to
and coming from Carrollton, and
made several acquaintances, among
them, Mr. JR. E. Feild, railway agent,
who is. one can tell by the way he
spells his name, a Virginian, and Mr.
H. G. Entrekin of Bremen.
The town of Bremen is in Haral-
county, and controls the trade of
a large farming area.
The county, itself, was named after
1 Hon. Hugh Anderson Haralson,
who was a member of Congress from
1842 to 1850. and who was chairman
| of the Committee on Naval AfTairs
during the Mexican War. Its popu
lation by the census of 1900 is 11.922.
i The county site is Buchanan, and its
largest town is Tallapoosa. which
had, when the last census was takn,
! a population of 2.12*. It doubtless
now has 2,500. The county Is hilly
and fertile. Cotton, corn, wheat, rye
and oats are the principal products.
The citizens of Bremen are full of
enterprise, as is evidenced by the
fact that a few months ago the ho
tel was burned, and to-day Mr. Boat
tight, the proprietor, has another, a
larger and better house.
The farming country around Brem
en is said to be as good as the best :
in the s’ate. and the rlimate is :
healthy and invigorating. It is only
a question of time when Bremen will
be one of the many prosperous larger !
towns of Northwest Georgia.
In company with his son-in-law.
Mr. H. W. Barron, who had come
to invite me to Villa Rica, I called
on Dr. I. N. Cheney, and had the
I leasure of meeting his wife and his
accomplished daughter. Mrs. C. C.
McLain. Like a similar visit, which
I recall with pleasure, I found the
family all of one mind on the politi
cal situation. Dr. Cheney is the old
est physician and farmer, and also
one of the largest land owners in
Haralson county, and he is also in
terested in properties in adjoining
counties. He is a gentleman thor
oughly conversant with the political
history of the state and the United
States. It was a pleasure to spend
the evening with him and his fam
ily. The whistle of the locomotive
warned us that we must hasten away
to other fields.
Speaking of locomotives, all trains
over the Southern Railway down to
Birmingham are hauled by double
headers, or two locomotives. The
trains over the Central of Georgia
from Savannah and other points to
Chattanooga, go by way of Bremen,*
as do those on the Southern Railwav
between Atlanta and Birmingham.
Among the prominent residents of
Bremen, in addition to those al
ready mentioned, are Messrs J L
Riggs. John Boatright, Col. Joseph
• l „ S - Cheney, Jr.. Richard
Fellds, Prof. Holland, Dr. Stephens
John Copeland, Bullard Bros Price

Polo ponies shipped.
Camden's Tenuis in Readiness tnr
the Aiken Games.
Columbia. S. C„ March 9.—About
twenty ponies of the Camden Polo
Club were shipped to Aiken yester
day, preparatory to this week's games.
Messrs. W. C. Salmond and G. F.
Moodman, of the first team, will leave
for Aiken to-morrow, while Mr. R.
L. Barstow, Jr., captain, and A. D.
Kennedy, Jr., will reach Aiken on
Monday. The second team, composed
of Messrs. Brown, captain. Tainter,
Boykin, Brooker and Vaux, substitute
will also go to Aiken on Monday, oti
which day the first team will p] a y for
the challenge cups.
Monday’s contest will be the most
important one of the week. The Cam
den four is in much better shape than
it was last March, and there is a
marked irpprovement in their team
work. The second team is composed of
beginners, who have not yet been
rated as goal men by the Polo Asso
ciation, and are therefore all ’’zeroes.”
MR. HILL’S GOOD WORK!
Secured Additional for Alnm
ni Eadownienf Fond.
Athens. Ga., March 9.—Mr. A. L. Hill,
sercretary and treasurer of the board
of trustees of the University of Geor
gia, is back from a trip to Valdosia*
Thomasville and Waynesboro, where he
visited a number of schools, and dur
ing his visit put in some good work
for the University Alumni Endowment
Fund, securing in subscriptions over
SI,OOO from citizens who had hitherto
subscribed nothing.
Mr. Hill will, at his leisure time dur
ing this spring, do a good deal of this
canvassing for the endowment fund, as
there are yet hundreds of the alumni
of tlie university to hand in their sub
scriptions.
Thus far about $13,000 of the total of
$49,000 subscribed ,has been paid in, and
the money will be invested in Georgia
bonds as soon as they can be secured.
Meanwhile, this money is on deposit,
bearing interest at the rate of 4 per
cent. Mr. Hull will work another can
vass in a few weeks.
DOES SOT PROTECT <ll All,.
Pot limiter* Easily Exn<le Sonth
Carolina Law.
Columbia, S; C.. March 9.—ln 1890
the Hegislature passed an act prohib
iting the sale of partridges or quails.
This was done In order to give the
birds a chance, there being a general
complaint over the country that the
birds were being killed out too rapid
ly by "pot hunters." For a while the
law was respected, but. like the hip
pocket pistol law. the game law does
not seem to be obeyed .as generally as
It should be.
The act of 1900 does not prohibit
the importation of partridges for sale,
and It would be a hard matter for an
officer of the law to prove thalt any
bird found in the restaurants in the
state did not come from beyond the
borders of the state. The act of 1900
was amended so as to include deer and
wild turkeys.

COL ESTILL’S CANDIDACY.
Why ntiMineM* Men Are Going to
Vote for Him.
Atlanta, March 9.—The frank and
open expressions of Col. J. H. Estill on
public questions have won for him
many friends in this section of the sta.e
in his race for Governor, and men may
be met almost every day who freely
express their intention of giving him
their support.
“I am going down to nty home coun
ty, Emanuel,” said Mr. Alfred <3.
Smart, a prominent 1 lumber merchant,
"for the purpose of voting for Col. Es
tlll for Governor. My principal reason
for supporting Col. Estill is that lie is
a business man in every sense of the
word, and not a politician. We need
a business man for Governor and a
business man with just such sound
ideas as Col. Estill has expressed. The
time has come when the people must
get l id of the idea that they must have
a politician In office. The other candi
dates are squarely on political lilies,
and in this Col. Estill differs from them
materially. He would give the state an
able and business-like administration,
and I believe would accomplish many
of the things which others promise, but
which, somehow, they never do. We
need a capable and a successful busi
ness man in office.”
The fact that Col. Estill does not pose
as a politician in the present-day sense
of the word has strengthened him no
little, and those who keep pare' with
the campaign say there are many who
will support him on this very idea. The
meaning, of course, is that he is not
conducting a campaign based on prom
ises of office—that there is no log-roll
ing feature in his canvass of the state
for the governorship.
“I am going to vote for Col. Estill,"
said a citizen of DeKalb county the day
Mr. Terrell spoke there, "for no other
reason than that he belongß to no po
litical ring. He is making his cam
paign purely on his personal merits,
and they are such as to give assur
ances that he will make a capable Gov
ernor. He is not backed by the court
house cliques, nor liquor dealers, nor
by the railroads so far as I know, but
lie has In him those sterling qualities
that make the strongest men and the
best citizens. We want a business man
for Governor, and the state now has a
ehance to secure one. He would un
questionably carry into the administra
tion of the office those qualities which
have made him successful in his busi
ness career, and they could
not be otherwise than successful in
the management of the state's affairs.
I know of several men to whom I have
talked in DeKalb county who take
this View of it and they told me they
intended to vote for Col. Estill for the
reasons I have stated. It will be a
good thing for Georgia If he is elect
ed.”'

Planter* Uank of Amerien* Ha* Fine
Record—Municipal Fight Will Be
Worm.
Americus, Ga., March 9.—The Plant
ers' Bank of Americus completed yes
terday Its tenth year of existence and
paid to stockholders the uhiform divi
dend of 10 per cent. Every year the
cash dividend has been the same thing.
10 per cent., and stockholders have
received back in dividends the amount
of their original investment of $50,000.
Besides having a large surplus, this
bank has recently completed one of
the finest bank buildings in the state.
Great preparations are in progress
for the entertainment of the state
lodge. Independent Order of Red Men,
which will convene in Americus in
May. Fully 200 delegates are expected.
Emmett Horine of Americus has Just
received the appointment to a cadet
ship at Annapolis, and left yesterday
to enter the preparatory school there.
The candidates here are making a
still hunt among the voters, and are
still beating the brush. There has not
as yet been a single announcement for
any office from that of coroner to rep
resentative, but the track Will be a
full one in due time.
Americus is promised a lively munici
pal campaign this year. The City
Council is hopelessly divided Into two
factions as the result of the fight made
over the police department, and there
can be no unity of action for the good
of the city. The bickering, snarling
and fighting between the two sides has
tended to disgust many citizens, and
both sides may be rebuked at the polls.
Americus will send to Macon a great
delegation of Elks to attend the state
conclave tc be held in that city on the
18th inst. _

Columbia. S. C., March 9.—lnstead

twenty-five contributors, Maj. Mlcali
Jenkins will get a blade that will be
not only of great intrinsic value, but
really contributed by the people of
the state. .Sword funds are now open
in several towns and it is probable as
much as $750 or SI,OOO will be raised.
CORONATION ATHLETICS.
English Sportsmen Here After
American Champion..
New Tork. March 9.—W. A. Gavin
and G. C. Lea of the National Sport
ing Club of London arrived on the St.
Paul.
“We have come,” said Mr. Gavin,
■'to try and induce American cham
pions of boxing, fencing and wrest
tling to go over to England during
coronation week an! there to meet
the best men that Great Britain and
the other countries of Europe can pro
duce. What we chiefly want is the
champions of the army and navy, but
they must get men that are at present
in the country’s service, and not like
Tom Sharkey, who, although formerly
in the United States navy, has been
a professional for many years.
“The chief feature of the tourney
will be a tug of war between twelve
picked men of Europe and twelve of
the United States. Amateurs will re
ceive trophies and the professionals
cash prizes, but the professional line
will be very fine between the two.
"The club has a bPlt which is val
ued at 15,000 which will be given, be
sides a large money prize, to the best
heavy-weight professional boxer."

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 j;he
senator’s death this afternoon, said:
"He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes if he had hot 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 of
Materia Medica, said:
“That meets my argumeht 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 of
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, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo
cratic in Europe, need our apprecia
tion, and they are getting it.”
