AS WE WERE SAYING,
Old Dalton’ll be a hustling
And a movin’ fit to kill'
When those pesky Yankee fellers
Bring down that cotton mill.
When the big new depot’s finished
That the railroad’s goin’ to make,
We’ll give the other neighborin’ towns
The oriental shake.
And when the folks that runnin’ of it
Brings their pike road down,
We’ll be right strictly in the push
And have a hot old town.
When our fire alarms are finished,
And that railroad comes this way.
Y ou can sit and watch old Dalton grow
A thousand'every day.
When we get ’em all to working,
And things get on a roiise,
We’ll tackle old McKinley
For to get the custom house.

POLITICAL POINTERS
WRAPPER
I met a well posted North
Georgian on the train the other
day, and he fell into discussing
the general political outlook. He
said that “ in Whitfield, Hon. Sam
E. Berry, who has so faithfully
represented the county in the
House, would be a candidate for
re-election, and that Whitfield
would probably furnish two can
didates for Congress: Col. Tom
Jones and Hon. P. B. Trammell.
In Murray Charlie King would
run for the House and Knox
Ramsey for the Senate
versa.”
I talked with Fleming du Big
non in Rome last week, and he
promised to come up to Dalton
soon. The man who beats him
for governor will do it by the skin
of his teeth, though I had a pleas

ELECTION OF SENATORS.
The trouble over senatorial elec
tions in Kentucky and Florida
suggests again the idea of their
election by popular vote. It should
be done for obvious reasons. To
deny the people the right to choose
their Senators by a direct vote
may be regarded in a certain sen^e
as a reflection upon either the
honesty or capacity, or both, of
the voting class of the several
States. The present system of
choosing senators carries with it
the same vice which has, in a great
measure, brought into disrepute
the electoral system for the elec
tion of president and vice-presi
dent. One of the • unanswerable
objections to the present system
is found in the great length of
time absorbed by the legislatures
of a State in the choosing of a
senator, and the consequent dis
traction of that body from the
business for which they are con
vened, to say nothing of the strife,
ill feeling engendered and con
tention which has invariably fol
lowed in the wake. Now is the
period for the settlement of the
question here in Georgia when-
there are no senatorial axes to be
ground. In time of peace pre
pare for war.

Of the many nice things said of
us, no one is more appreciated
than the following from our es
teemed contemporary, the live,
up-to-date and hustling Dalton
Argus:
Tom R. Jones, jr., and Frank
T. Reynolds have 'been trading
to get control of The North
Georgia Citizen for several days.
Tom stated yesterday afternoon
that the trade had been made all
except signing the contract this
morning. The Argus wishes them
success. There is ample room
here for two well-conducted pa
pers, and The Argus believes that
in the hands of Tom Jones and
Frank Reynolds, The Citizen
will be far more successful, and
come nearer “ touching the spot ”
than since its destruction by fire.
