SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, APRIL 27, 1888
GET TO WORK.
Let Home Enterprise be Encour
age:!—Start Factories and
Build Up the Country—
They will be a bene
fit to Everyone.
It is a fact that no place can
hope to prosper unless its business
men are willing to put their shoul
i cler to the wheel.
Il is a fact that no place can
bisild up unless it has factories.
It is a fact that every home en-
I torpri.se, however small, is of bene
fit to the merchant, the farmer, the
mechanic, and to every class.
It is a fact that every nianufac
j turer is also a consumer and in ad
dition to furnishing articles every
i one needs, consumes the products
of others, thereby being of mutual
benefit to every class of citizens.
There are a number of small
manufaeLoric.s which would pay well
that con! 1 ami ought to be started
in Summerville.
1. A broom factory. This is al
ready secured.
2. A handle factory. Plenty of
suitable timber right here and a
large home demand and every facil
ity for shipping. Who can doubt
that it would pay?
3. A furniture factory. The
| same reason for its success as the
above.
4. A barrel factory. The same
as above.
5. A coffin factory. As every one
knows the demand for coffins will
never cease. There is money in
making them. They can be made
cheaper here than in large cities be
cause the material can be obtained
right here.
6. A woolen factory. There is
nothing needed more in this coun
ty than a woolen mill. It would
offer a market for home raised wool
and would encourage sheep husband-;
ry. A largo home demand would ,
consume its products. We have!
heard that one of Summerville’ !
leading business men contemplated
iftiilding a woolen mill. Let him
proceed. He will meet with suffi
cient encouragement in every way
and on every hand. The thing will
pay.
7. A wagon factory. If our wood
workmen and blacksmiths would
combine* with outside help which
could be secured, they could make
the manufacture of wagons and
buggies at this place pay. Plenty
of material cheap, home demand
and shipping facilities would secure
its success.
These are a few of the enterprises
that must be put on foot if Sum
merville is ever to be more than
wiiat she is. ,
The business men of Summerville ,
are justly noted fortheir public en- ,
terprise. Now more than their rep- .
utation in this particular is at. stake, .
the prosperity of the town and
county is in the balance. It will
not take much money to make the 1
scales go down and the prosperity 1
of the community to go up.
Let a joint stock improvment !
company lie formed and organized ’
effort be made. Or anything else
done that will secure all- or any of 1
the above named factories.
The Mills tariff bill was intro- :
duced in congress last week.
Last week Congressman Clements ,
introduced the petition of Mrs. F. ,
E. Mills, of this county, asking that ,
her claim of $2,221 for stores and
supplies furnished the Union armies
be referred to the court, of claims.
It is said that. Cora Belle Fellows
wlio recently married an Indian,
did so in order to give her notoriety '
and to secure a large sale of a nov
el which she intends soon to pub
lish. If this is true it is certainly ]
a novel way of advertising a novel.
Maj. Z. B. Hargrove has been nom
inated by the Republicans for Con- :
gress from this district. The Ma
jor is a high tariff man. He says he
wants the tariff raised until it
amounts to prohibition. The Major,
will remain at home by a large and 1
handsome majority.
Wc are enabled to‘state to our
l.cdy readers, upon the authority of
<>: r esteemed contemporary, the!
l ew York World, that apple-gr< i
v ill be the fashionable color for
ladies’ dresses during the summer.
( . reen-api le will, as in the past, be
the favorite for small boys.
READY FOR A DISCUSSION.
I noticed in your columns of last
week that Mr. Coker said : “I would
willingly discuss the question of
‘Farmer’s clubs’ with‘Bill Lief,’ but.
do not like to tackle a‘masked bat
tery.’” When I first saw the above
I entertained no idea of discussing
the question with him, knowing Mr.
Coker to possess a wonderful abil
ity of cofiimanding language, and
in addition an argumentative talent
which scarcely has an equal: but
after much hesitation I have con
cluded to inform Mr. Coker, through
the columns of the News, that lam
ready and waiting to discuss the
“Farmer’s Club” question with him.
I am not sure that I know what
Mr. Coker means by the expression
“masked battery;” but I infer from
it that he does not wish to enter a
discussion with any one that will
not discuss the subject fairly and
squarely. This I propose to do, aud
nothing more. And as to my rein
name I think that if is surtici.'Ut for
Mr. Coker to know that I am his
friend, and regard him as mine, and
that 1 consider it beneath my hum
ble station in life, to engage in
personal abuse or anything of that
kind with any one through the col
umns of a paper; especially with
the aged.
So consider the way clear for Air.
Coker to open the discussion. I
retire behind my “masked battery”
and wait for his assault.
Bn.i. Lief.
Ths Last Victim.
It is related in the April Centu
ry that the last victim of the civil
war was Thomas Martin, a Confed
erate Guerrilla, who was shot by
the command of Gen. Joe Hooker
on Alar lllh, 1865, over a month
after Lee’s surrender. The boy, for
such he was, had been captured a
year previous, carried to Cincinnati
and sentenced by court martial for
j being a guerrilla. The sentence
had been suspended. Then toward
the close of the war Hooker, a de
feated and revengeful man, was
transferred to the command of that
department. He ordered that Mar
tin be shot in conformity with the
sentence, but some humane yan kees
procured a suspension of the sen
tence while Hooker was away at
tending the funeral of Lincoln.
Upon his return he was very much
enraged, and demanded of Stanton
that he be allowed to regulate his
department without interference,
and it was allowed. Then Hooker,
the brutal and heartless, again or
dered the boy to be shot and it was
done. So, as far as is known, Mar
tin was “l 1 " last victim.”
The. report of the comptroller
general of Georgia shows that the
wealth of the State increased last
year $12,0'10,000, while the value of
pMintation tools, live stock and
farm products decreased $1,200,000.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says
there is al; olute terror in the Re
publican camp about Illinois, as
the state seems to be growing reck
lessly Democratic. Tariff' reform
did it, and, likely enough, Illinois,
will be debatable ground in Novem
ber.

WHY NOT
11
! Make an Effort to Build Upthe
f Town and County—TheTime
. Has Come—Advertise the
Country—The Only Way
to Secure Prosperity.
- It cannot be too strenuously urged
■ upon the people of Summerville and
-of Chattooga county that now is the
I time to make an onward and an up
t ward move. The railroad will be
t completed to Summerville by the
- Ist of June and then strangers and
1 capitalists will be here prospecting
i and seeking profitable investments.
‘ Some point between Chattanooga
■ and Rome will "row, and it is in the
I power of the citizens of Summerville
i to secure to their town the advan
i tages over other points. A stitch in
i time, an energetic effort, concerted
I and united action in the right di
i rection and the tiling is lone.
i Day after day there can be seen
in the dailies of Chattanooga and
Rome accounts of those cities sc-
■ curing Northern rannufaetorie.!, and
of their own citizens pushing for
ward enterprises of their own. It
takes these to build up a town and
, a country. A town that depends up
on the surrounding country alore,
it does not matter how fertile that
country may be, is certain to get
left. It takes factories to give em
ployment to labor and to furnish a
remunerative market for the prod
ucts of the farm. It takes facto
lies, it does not matter if they arc
small, to bring prosperity.
This being indisputable, it fol
lows that they must be secured by
some means or other to Summer
ville or else the town will remain at
a standstill. They must be secured.
For years the railroad has been
looked for in anticipation of great
things resulting from it. It is se
cured now, and the time has come
to secure the advantages its com
ing offers.
To begin, the citizens should get
together, appoint a committee and I
subscribe a sum sufficient to pay a j
good man to stay at Chattanooga
and Rome, as needs be, and talk up I
the advantages of this section. Au
energetic man could cover both
points and, furnished with suitable
advertising matter, could most
probably secure emigrants and cap
italists to locate in this county. If
suitable inducements were offered,
—and they can be—there is no ques
tion but that good results would
follow. It would not cost much to
get a suitable man to work as indi
cated, and it would, beyond almost
the possibility of a doubt, be the
best investment ever made.
It is not the purpose of this ar
ticle to set forth the advantages
Summerville any Chattooga county
offers in the way of natural advan
tages and abundance of material
for the location of factories of vari
ous kinds, for they are known al
ready. It is to secure some effort to
’let these advantages be known to
others. The resources of this section
will have to be advertised and it
would be the cheapest investment
the people of the town and coiinty
ever made and the most profitable
money they ever spent to use $5,000
in letting the outside world know of
tb.e advantages this county possess
ed for the location of factories. The
return, ten-fold, would surely and
quickly come in, and an era of pros
perity dawn such as even in the
wildest flight of imagination no
one ever thought of'
The county cannot profit by the
building of the railroad unless
something on the line suggested is
done. Mr. Williamson will cordial-,
ly co-opereate with the people in
any efforts in this line that they
may make. It will be money to his
railroad for him to do this, and he
will aid in every way he can.
It can be done.
It ought to be done.
It must be done.
And now is the time. Who will
I interest themselves? The columns
■ of this paper can and will be freely
i used for the good of this county,
| and it will be continually remind
ing the people that it is to their in
terest to do something while yet it
is day; for when night comes no
one can work.

ROSCOE CONKLINQ.
Roscoe Conkling died in New
York city the 18th inst. His sick-
J ness was the result of exposure in
the late blizzard.
Mr. Conkling was born at Alba
ny, N. Y., Oct 30, 1829, and at the
age of twenty-one was admitted to
] the bar. Before he became thirty
] he had been elected to congress and
> was considered the leader of his
party in New York. In 1867 he
. was elected U. S. senator and he
. served in the senate until 1881,
] when he resigned because of a dif
r ference with Garfield. He left the
senate a poor man and* owing a
i large sum of money as security for
, a friend. He paid tb.e security debt
. from his earnings at the practice of
. law and left some money behind.
! Mr. Conkling was imperious, dog
| malic and held himself aloof from
his associates. But to atone for
this he was honest and fearless. He
! came very near attacking in the
senate the methods by which Hayes
. secured the presidency, going so
far as to prepare his speech, but
. I through the influence over him of
I Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague he was
prevented from delivering it. He
. could not tolerate fraud or indorse
, \ men who were hishonest. This sen
timent led him to say, when asked
by some of Blaine’s friends to stump
i the state of New York for Blaine
' during the latter’s race for the pres
idency, “I am not engaged in the
criminal practice.”
Mr. Conkling was an honest man
and the fact that he came out of
public life with a character unstain
ed after serving through a period
reeking with jobery and corruption
I ami fraud is the highest words of
praise that can be spoken of him.
He is another man of whom it can
be truthfully said ‘‘the people loved
him for the enemies he made,”
for his enemies were the corrupt
and dishonest men of his own party.
He was an horn st Republican
and his death is a national loss,
for there are not too many of his
| kind.
CHATTANOOGA.
I loft Duck Creek for this place
the 14th. Coming up the C. R. &
C. railroad I find the grade is about
complete and thousands of cross
ties piled up along the line. Track
. is laid twenty miles. They are lay
ing from a half to three-quarters of
a mile a day, and are coming right
along. There was a man killed at
Crawfish Springs last Friday; he
was coupling cars and was crushed
between them. A negro got his foot
cut off by the cars Saturday.
William Lively, 2nd foreman, has
the second section and will soon
put the road in good fix from Craw
fish back to Chattanooga; when this
is done the passenger coaches will
be put on. lam here at work at
i the carpenter business and find a

THE PRESS.
The Cedartown Standard grows
better and better. Editor Folsom is
“catching on.”
The Marrietta journal unceasing
ly labors for the advancement of its
town and county. Its editorals are
clear, forcible and sound.
*
The Chattanooga’limes has avery
pugnacious editor. Editor McGowan
pulls oil his gloves daily and strikes
straight out from the shoulder.
■*
The Coosa River (Ala) News has
unearthed a seven years old poet.
This is certainly an indication of
enterprise on the part of the News.
*
The Cartersville Courant-Ameri
ean is one-of the best weeklies in
Georgia. It has done more for its
county than all other agencies com
bined.
*
The Calhoun Times has been
greatly instrumental in securing
subscriptions to rebuild the church
es of that town which wore destroy
ed by the storm. It could not en
gage in a nobler work.
*
The Walker County Messenger
says for inflamed udders in cows
there is nothing better than a mix
ture of lard and turpentine thorough
ly rubbed in. To this we would add,
if the cow kicks, get some one else
to do the rubbing in.
*
The Douglasville Star says its
town has three tastily arranged
Millinary stores and concludes the
statement by ejaculating: “Poor
men.” Is it because Editer Peavy
has had to buy a spring bonnet
that he thus taked a pessimistic
view of the condition of his fellow
man?
*
The Cherokee (Ala.) Advertiser's
columns are open for the discussion
of the question of county nomina
tions or no county nominations for
•ounty officers of it's county. The
people seem divided on the question.
We venture the prediction that it
will be a “go as you please and get
there if you can” race.

Rockmart Slate says: You do
not have to take out a search war

No ring or clique can “bob up”

with the people against the monop
olists and their cohorts—the protec
tionists.

Tne Atlanta Constitution thinks
country papers ought to let polities
alone. The truth is the Consti.
wants to run the politics of Georgia
unaided but the country press
thinks this is too big a job for the

hence the Consti.’s squall.
INSECT GHOULS.
The inhabitants of Albany, this
