TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Macon, May 18.1874.
Pesiring, above all things, unity of
action by the Democrats of Georgia in
our approaching elections, and knowing
the great importance of harmony in our
ranks, I have determined, with a view
to these desirable ends, to call together
the Executive Committee the party
on the first Wednesday in July in At
lanta, for consultation. Until then it
is desired that no action looking to nom
ination of candidates will he taken by
the party. Gentlemen of the Conven
tion, the interests of the people demand
your attention.

COFFEE AS A DISINFECTANT.
As the season of the year at which
cholera and fevers of various types us
ually make their appearance is not far
distant, it might -not be amiss to con
sider well this. The information will
prove useful at any rate : Roasted cof
fee, says the Homeopathic World, is
one of the most powerful means, not on
ly of rendering animal and vegetable
effluvia innocuous, but of actually de
stroying them. In proof of this, the
statement is made that a room, in which
meat in an advanced degree of decom
position had been kept for some time,
was instantly deprived of a’l smell on
an open coffee roaster being carried
through it, containing one pound of
newly roasted coffee ; and in another
room, the effluvium occasioned by the
cleaning out of a cesspool, so that suL
jphureted hydrogen and ammonia could
be clearly detected, was entirely remov
od on the employment of three ounces
of freshly burnt coffee. Refrigerators
sometimes get musty from flesh, fowl,
or fish, kept too long in them. No
remedy for puiifying such recepta
cles, so simple as burnt coffee, can be
employed.
New and Novel Way of Finding
Drowned Bodies. —ln the Paris Ken
tuckian we read of how the body of a
flegro boy was found, who was drowned
fcu Stoner Creek Hooks and drags had
been ,usc.d without effect, when some
■one appeared among the searchers, and
told them to throw in a bundle of oats.
A bundle was procured, thrown in
•where the accident occurred, floated a
few feet, stopped and commenced spim*
-ning around, the roots of the oats seem
.cd to be sucked downward. The men
went to the place, and found the body
immediately under the oats.

CARTERSVILLE ITEMS.
On Saturday, the 30th ult., your re
porter left the city, on the 8:15 train
for Rome, where He was met by friends
Rich and Bryant. He was then con
ducted to the mideu.ee of the former*
vwherc he spent a very pleasant hour.—
At 10:30 I found myself mounted on
.one of the offsprings of Balaam’s ani*
Dial’s for an eight-miles ride down the
Coosa River, and I assure you the
scenery was grand. Tho moon with
its silver rays seemed to pour forth its
effulgence with more than ordinary
brightness, causing tho high peaks of
the mountains to put on a picturesque
appearance. The grand old river seem
ed to make its placid waters ripple in
joy as it moved quietly on with its pear
ly colors imbedded between its flowery
and vincclad banks, which nature has
so lavishly endowed her with. Mr. T.
P Bryant was my companion on this
occasion. Everything served <to Luspire
our souls with gladness, as we journeyed
along with the cool breeze of night fau
lrng 'is as it swept by, laden with the
rich perfumes of the river flowers and
shrubbery. It caused our inward souls
to rejoice to think that they would soon
travel along the banks of the pure river
of life, where the breeze would be heav
ily laden with heavenly sweets and an
gelic music which would All up every
chamber of our weary souls, and cause
us to exult in the blessed light of Jesus,
who will illuminate that world. At
1:30 we arrived at the house of Mr S.
fehipley, and retired for the remaining
portion of the night, feeling a little
wearied alter an eight miles ride on a
mule that was a little stupid, and had
to have a good deal of “ persuasion.”
On Sunday morning we arose to greet a
bcautitul morning, and we enjoyed it,
.as it was a day for divide worship at
Rush Aibor Church in (hat vicinity.—
At 11 o’clock we found ourself at the
Church, which is situated on a com
manding eminence in a most beautiful
grove, overlooking the river and many
fertile fields. The services were con
ducted by Rev. -, who preached at
11 in the forenoon and 3 in the after
noon. The congregation was large and
very attentive. At a little past 3 we
set out for Romo. We returned in a
buggy with Mr J. R. Rich and Miss
Susie A. Sparks, of Rome. Although
our trio made it a little" tight in one
buggy, yet it was delightful on account
of our good company. We arrived
safely at Rome about sunset, and spent
a pleasant night with our friend Rich,
who knows how to make his friends
feel comfortable. At 8:15 on Monday
morning, we boarded the train and at
10:45 found ourselves at home with
yard stick and scissofs in hand, as Usual.
But we could not help thinking of kind
friends we had found and made at B sh
Arbor. The crops I saw on my way
though late, looked very flattering.—
Wheat is looking exceedingly good, gar
dens seem to be in need of rain. The
farmers are struggling hard for a large
crop. I hope their desires may be fully
gratified. Wheat was ready for cutting
in some places, and some already cut.
May we have an abundant harvest.
The civil rights recipients seem to be
enjoying it, as they have almost entire
ly occupied the marble yards of our
city. Gangs of them, young and old,
daily coi gregate around these places
and waste their time, which is now so
much needed, in playing marbles, as
they have it. { ‘ Oh ! shame, where is
thy blush ?”
The ladies of our city hav<> presented
Rev. E. S. Y. Rriant with a beautiful
Alapaca baptizing gown. Miss Carrie
Morrison was the leader in this appro
priate act.
Rev. W. If. Felton, of the Methodist
Church, preached in the City Hall on
Thursday evening last AH the busi
ness houses were closed for an hour in
order that all might have an opportu
nity of hearing him, and I assure you
they were well repaid, as the sermon
was very eloquent and impressive. His
sermon was based upon she interests of
the Y. M. C. A. of our city.
The gentle showers are falling this
(Friday) morning, and causing vegeta
to look refreshed- Thank the Lord for
all His mercies.
The Friends of Temperance seem to
have enjoyed themselves on Friday last.
The rain prevented them from Folding
their pienic in tho grove, but they were
not to be thwarted. They repaired to
the City Hall, where they were enter
tained for an hour by Gen Evans, to
the satisfaction of all. After the ad
dress, the inner man was amply satisfied
by all that ho could desire. After the
divine had left, I learn that tho young
exercised themselves in a social dance.

SINEAD* OUTDONE.
A Remarkable “Magnetic Chamber”
in n California Cave.
The author of Sinbad the Sailor’s
Adventures” must resign his laurels.—
One W. 11. Stokes has been exploring
a recently discovered cave near Pine
Grove, Amador county, California, and
writes to the Sutter Creek Independent
an account of his investigations. Mr.
Stokes vouches for the exaet truth of
his narrative in every particular, and
we doubt not tho reader will readily
credit it from the following specimen
description of ono of the chambers the
party entered : After journeying for a
mile and a quarter through the under
ground passages, Stokes 'and his party
found themselves in a “ long but rather
narrow chamber, the wails of which are
not limestone, but a yellowish brown
and black iron ore.” This chamber
beats Sinbad’s magnetic mountain,
which drew all the nails from his ship,
and thus caused it to fall to pieces, all
hollow. Listen to Mr. stokes : “ Upon
entering this chamber we noticed a most
peculiar disturbance of the magnet, the
needle constantly vibrating from side to
side, and frequently whirling around
for a minute at a time with a velocity
which rendered it invisible. We also
experienced a singular sensation, a sort
of chill appealing to commence at the
back of the pe k and extending to the
very tips pf our fingers and toes. As we
advanced in this chamber we found
these singular sensaw’os to increase in
intensity until it became almost unbear
able. We ventured on stnl further,
however, though it became evident that
we could not long remain in this mys
terious place.
I omitted to mention that the walls
and floor of this chamber, especially
particular rocks therein contained, were
highly magnetic, and became more so
the farther we advance toward the
north. One of the party who carried a
hatched had it suddenly wrested from
him by a magnetic rock near which he
passed, and tlic* combined strength of
four of us was insufficient to detach it.
A pocketknife, which .accidentally drop
ped to the floor, had to remain there,
none of the party having sufficient
strength in his fingers to pick it up.—
Mason, who had put on for the occa
sion a pair of miner’s boots, the soles
of which were filled with nails, could
walk with difficulty, and happening to
step uyon a portion of the floor unu*
sually magnetic, fund himself suddenly
affixed thereto, and unable to move. —
He was-compelled to withdraw his feet
from his boots and leave them there,
tearing up his coat and wrapping the
pieces around his feet to protect them
from being cut by the rocks. We had
remained in this chamber about ten
minutes, when suddenly the chilling
sensation began to increase, the feeling
being as if a cold and piercing wind
was blowing upon us, and becoming
each moment more intensely cold. We
hastily retreated and soon reached, feel
ing more dead than alive, the large
chamber containing the hot spring.—
We then retraced our steps along the
twine, and in a couple of hours emerged
from the cave.”
Bald Mountain Again Quaking.
On Thursday evening last, about half
past seven, several severe shocks of an
earthquake again were observed at Bald
Mountain, equal iu severity to any that
have preceded them within the last three
or four mouths of these rumblings. The
noise v as heard aud quaking felt dis
tinctly at Chimney Rock, a distauce of
ten miles from the source of the disturb
ance.
A score of persons at different points
several miles distant from the mountain,
concur in the statement of feeling its ef
fects, especially in the direction of Ruth
erford county aud along Broad river.—
A number of persons along this river,at
the distance often miles from the tnouns
tain,say the rumblings and other impres
sion from the shocks were quite severe
and terrible —similar to the sounds aud
rumblings observed there in February
last—even more marked and alarming.
In addition to what was there observed,
a strange phenomenon of lights was wit-
nessed by many—lights which frequent
ly shot up from the mountain. A few
nights before Thursday evening’s shocks
a party of four or five at Spicer Springs
saw a huge light moving up Borad river,
which shone with such intensity as to
exhibit the trees and hills for an eighth
of a mile on each side of the river, as if
it were daylight. It shone but five min
utes, and disappearing, left all in dark
ness. They describe it as resembling
an electric light, or like a mellow line
of fire moving up the river. The wit
nesses were much alarmed at the time,
and can offer no explanation of tho
strange phenomenon. On the Friday
previous to the above-mentioned occur
rence, slight shocks were felt from the
same mountain. The people in the vi*
cinity are much interested, and mani
fest ranch excitement over these new
disturbances.

GLIDES’ PATENT SLATE ROOFING PAIN
AGENTS WANTED IN EVERY TOWN.
A roo'f may be covered with a very cheap shingle, and by application of t;
slate be made to last from 20 to 25 years. Old roofs can be patched and C eatc s
looking much better, and lasting longer than new shingles without the slate f
One-Tliird the Cost of Re-Shingling
T'hc expense of slating new shingles is only about the cost of simply j- .\
them. The paint is FIRE-PROOF against sparks and flying embers as ii 'V;*
easily attested by any ono, and appears from the fact that the Insurance Coin
nies make nearly the
Same Tariff as for Slated Roofs.
For tin and iron it has no eqda), as it expands by heat, contracts by e ;
never cracks nor scales. For cemetery fences it is particularly adapted as it *
not corrode in the most exposed place*. Roofs covered with tar shcathi n
can be made water-tight at a small expense. The Slate paiut is ;t
Extremely Ch£aj» 4
Two gallons will coVer a hundred square feet of shingle roof, or over four )
dred of tin or iron. Price ready for use is SO cents per gallon, with «
discount to the trade. We furnish and apply the material for $2.50 per In
square feet in New York and vicinity. 1
No Tar is Used in this Composition,
therefore it does not effect the water from the roof, if turned off from the ok 0
for the first one or two raiiis.
The Paint has a heavy body, but is easily applied with a -1 or C inch paste brusl
On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and pores, hardens them and dvj
new substantial roof that will last for years. Curled or warped shingles u
brings to their place and keeps them there. It fills up all holes in" fck
roofs, and stops the leaks, ore coat being equal to five of ordinary paint.
