The Presidents recent* message
to Congresses a strung documont
ami, is being well received by the
PresB of the country.
Gov. Smith has announced that
he will not be a candidate for the
U. S. Senate but wiil run again
for Governor. Senator Clay may
not bavejany opposition, although
Hon. Seab Wright is spokeu of in
that connection.
ANOTHER VIEW OF ROOSEVELT.
1 he recent visit of Joel Chand¬
ler Harris to dine with President
Roosevelt attracted so much news¬
paper comment' that the account
of the trip as told by “Mr. Billy
Sauders” in Uncle Remus’s Mag¬
azine for February is of particular
interest “Mr. Billy Sanders, the
Sage of Shady Dale,” gives his
views of Mr. Roosevelt’s personal¬
ity in the most unqualified man¬
ner.
“Well, I come away from the
White House might’ly holp up,”
hejsays, “feelin’ that Teddy is
President of the wholej»country,
s»n’ not of a party, an’ that
oughter make np his mind for
run ag’in . He aint been elected
but once, an’ ever’ President
entitled for to go before the
twice. That’s my idee, an’ wi’
in my head, I went back to
hotel an’ snored as loud as ef
V been on my own shuck
I felt jest like I had been on a vis¬
it to some friend that I
seed in years, an’ I went to bed
an’, dreamed that the men in
Street had promised to be
ably honest atter the fust of
wary.
“You wanter to shake

He’s clean from head to foot an
right throngh his gizzard;
healthy an' sane, an’ sound an’
honest, an’ what more could you
ax a human bein’ to be? Talk
wi’ him-, an’ then talk wi’ other
people, an’ you’ll find that the
other people will leave a taste in
your mouth like green persim¬
mons. It’s jest like I tell you,
“I bear that Teddy- has axed

J Z. Foster.
Hon- N* A* A\orris An¬
nounces for Judge
Marietta, Ga. Oct. 1st, 1907.
To the Voters of the Blue Ridge
Circuit:
I desire at this time to publicly
announce my candidacy for Judge of
the Superior Courts of the Blue
Ridge f. irctiit, subject to the next
Democratic Primary.
I promise the entire people of this
Judicial circuit that if lam elected
I will devote the best work and cner
gy of ray life to the duties of the
office and I will give them a fair,
impartial, clean and economical ad¬
ministration of the Laws.
1 will do Ibis regardless of how
they haTe voted in the past or how
they may vote in the future.
1 will do this regardless of what
political faction they may have af¬
filiated with in the past or may af¬
filiate with in the future.
I will do this regardless of their
politics—whether Democrat, Popn
list, or Republican.
I will do this regardless of whelh
er they are rich or poor, white or
black.
Every man, rich or poor, Demo
crat, Populist, sr Republican should
respect and obey the Laws, and
when the law deals with them they
should be dealt with justly, fairly,
and impartially, and they should all
be placed upon tbe same level in th<
Court House. Politics, Political
differences, nor political prejudices
should never become a factor in the
enforcement of our Laws or the dis
cfllyge of olficiul I have duties.
Whether opposition or not
I also promise the entire people of
the Circuit that I will not in this
race, directly or indiiectly, use any
money, whiskey, or any other thing
of value for the purpose of buying
votes or liiiing workers in behalf of
my casdiclacy, nor will I knowingly
permit my friends to do this.
I am a member of the State Dcm
ocratic Executive Committee from
ihe State at large and I will advo¬
cate the adoption and enforement of
rules which will prohibit the use of
money, whiskey, or any other thing
of value to buy votes or hire workers
in any of the primaries, and that
will disqualify any person from being
de^fcred for the nominee who violates of the party rules
any office, the
of the Committee.
ft has been my intention for a
number of months to make this race
and I have so expressed myself in
private conversations to a number of
people throughout the circuit. 1
Jiave met with 1 feel overwhelming en
couragement sincerely grate¬
ful for this.
I will appreciate tbe support of
each and every voter in the entire
Circuit..
My heart is full of gratitude and
appreciation, and will ever be, for
the loyal support given me in the
past throughout the Circuit both in
ray political aspirations and in my
profession.
Trusting that you will faTorme
with your support and influence, I
am,
Very respectfully,
N. A. Morris.

FOSTER VS. MORRIS—A PARALLEL.
In a political tight of snch mo*
nie nj n8 t|, a one now oi;, every one
should see for himself tbe magni
tude of the issues, and should
measure the results to fdllow from
the election of one of the other of
the candidates. However much
following Col. Patterson may have
elsewhere, iu this section but two
candidates are known.
It is our purpose to give our
readers the unbiased characteris¬
tics of both parties as they have
impressed us for ten years past.
Those who know them will be
judges of our honesty in the par¬
allel drawn.
Foster is a man of perhaps 45
years of ago; Morris is perhaps the
rise ol 38. Foster is tall, fair
complexion ed, and not intrusive in
m anuer; Morris is a little tinder
size, ruddy, and has a little of the
appearance of tho sport in his
make-up. Foster depends upon
study and the goodness of his
cause in a suit; Morris rather
looks to device and stickling. Fob
ter never tries a case without pre¬
paration; Morris rarely prepares a
case, but dupeuds upon maneuver
and makeshift. Foster has been
little in politics, confining him¬
self strictly to the practice of law;
Morris has been before the people
of Cobb ns a candidate in every
ele tion save one in 10 years.
Foster is fur the better lawyer;
Morris the shrewder politician.
When Foster’s crowd goes down
he goeB down with it; not so with
Morris who joins the other side
when interest demands it. Fob
ter is iucapable of being an extre
mist; Morris can be nothing less
than radical at all times. Foster
considers a thing well before act¬
ing; Morris jumps at conclusions,
is impulsive and hence, often con¬
tradictory. Foster commands a
following by intellect, intensity of
purpose and superiority; Morris
gets a crowd by noisy action, rude
jests, rnd yarns of donbttul pro
priety. Foster iB the more medi¬
tative, Morris has the greater ani¬
mation. Foster has the better
mind, and never fags in pnrsnitof
a law poiut; Morris has great in¬
dustry, but it is directed toward
matters other than law. Foster is
at home in a gathering of lawyers;
Morris in a political caucus. Fos¬
ter is wise in counsel, deliberative
and thoughtful in biB acts; and
reaches a conclusion by follow ing
his premises to their logical se¬
quence; Morris often follows the
will-o’-the-wisp of a plausible
fallacy, vaulting over the law, and
reaching a point apparently tena¬
ble.
This BeeirtB to us to be about the
standing of the two as lawyers no
mention being made of morals.
Theso all may learn for themselves
after a short time with the candi¬
dates; for the predominant char¬
acteristics of each, morally, will
be known from the language he
uses, particularly when a little off
guard,—Marietta News.
TRAINED NURSING A MODERN HERO¬
ISM little Heralded. "
No Music, Flags or Cheering, but the
Fight la with the Grimmest and Most
Terrible of All roes.
The trained nurse gobs into bat¬
tle encouraged by none of the
blood-stirring incitements of the
soldier. J5he is often entirely
•alone--.her struggle must be quiet
aud her antagonist is grim and
terrible and ever watchful, be¬
cause it is Death itself. Suppose
it is you yourself who are
ly smitten in the midst of your
life and work, says Anne O'Hagau
iu the February Delineator.
With the coming of tho trained
nurse.yon f j el infinite relief and
thanksgiving. You are no longer
obliged to struggle alone, to watch
the door alone lest that Other .
One enter. The nurse, calmest of j '
warriors, least grim ,, sentinels, . ,
sits beside yout bed and will keep
the vigil for you. You transfer
the battle to her. For yourself,
you will lie still and think—not
of the combat before you, not of
the turmoil behind you—that
whirling, dusty conflict of the
word which wa3 so important a
little while ago—but of the great,
important things—earth and its
the wid ?..
try skies on mooulight nights, the
flash of bluebirds’ wings in the
September sunshine, all the daily
miracles yon had forgotten to
watch when you were hurrying to
those manifold appointments of
yours. Now you are in the region
where only “the mightier move¬
ment sounds and passes, only
wiuds and livers, only life and
death.”
EAST ELLIJAY CLIPPINGS.
Dr. Gi*ah«m took a flying trip
to Atlautk the past week.
Th ’ last report Mr. Lum Elliott
bus been able to take Some nour¬
ishment.
We were sorry to learn of the
„„ G p. lw> ,„„
ghe j# m of Lagrippe .
If the. old adaae be true, i
will continue to have six more
weeks of cold weather, owing ti¬
the fact, the Ground Hog saw his
shadow.
Very sorry there is no improve¬
ment in Mrs. Dobb’s condition.
We hope a change for the better
will come soon.
The next youngest child of Mr
Western Plumley, was called upon
by Dr. Randle last Sunday. We
hope the little one has recovered
before this.
Mr. Will Reece, the horse trader,
said the people in this country
never had any good horses and
that he was trying to supply their
wants, but they don’t know a good
thing when they see it.
The young folkB of onr town
frequently have a rope-jumping
contest. Recently they were to
confer the honor upon the one who
could jump th8 rope consecutively
one time for each day in the year.
Miss Cleo Reece won the honor.
Snap Shot.
The girl who is learning to keep
house and furnish food for a fam¬
ily soon discovers that there is
something to know besides just
how to cook tbe’articles which she
has prepared’ »Not only must she,
it she aspires to be an adept in the
art, and to acquire basical
knowledge, at least, of the Bcience,
Enow what to do with the mater¬
ials put into her hands, but she
must know how .to select these
materials with a view to economy,
which not only considers the fi¬
nancial, hut also the nutritive
values of Jhe food \rhich she pro¬
vides.
She may learn from her cookery
book the lists of diffeient cuts,
so as to order quite glibly and
with an air of familiarity from
her marketman, and she may,
from the same source, get direct
iqns for cobkiug 'them. But un¬
less she knowB how they should
look„when they come to her, how
can she be sure that she has what
she has ordered, or, that having it,
it is the best of its kind? The
average marketman is holiest but
human, and so worldly wise that
if advantage is to be taken of any
of his patrons to work leas desira¬
ble qualities of meat upon, it
naturally will bet the one who
“doesn’t know a good thing when
she sees it.” No risks will be run
with the woman who knows what
she is buying, and just the sort of
appearauce it should present.—

for years before he begau to set It
down on paper. The work once begun

unable to keep up with him. So ab¬
