ABUSE NO USE.
There has been a great hubbub
raised by the press over the fact
that many of our soldiers have
lacked medicine, food and have
been badty camped. Unless these
papers knew that these things
were done or left undone purpose
ly by those whose business it was
to look after it, they should not
have kicked before they were
spurred. The Citizen would glad
ly have known that our soldiers
had the very best of things possi
ble, but under the existing cir
cumstances we don’t see how, in
the hurry and flurry of raising so
many thousands of troops and
making all sorts of provisions for
them, from getting up a canteen
to equipping an immense battle
ship, that it could have been much
better.
If we had had a year’s time to
prepare for the war, and then
shculd there have been even a
buckle on a mule’s harness short,
the condemnation could not be too
severe. It may be there is some
one to blame, but unless these
kickers are sure of their premises
they should let up on their abuse.
So far as The Citizen is concerned
President McKinley and Secre
taries Long and Alger have con
ducted the war in the best possi
ble manner. Of course there was
a lack of surgeons, nurses, medi
cines, etc., but just any straggler
could not be picked up and given
supervision in these instances.
We very much regret the fact that
a single American soldier lost his
life from any cause—but war is
war.
COL. TAYLOR DEAD.
Col. J. Troup Taylor died at his
residence in this city at half past
three o’clock this afternoon.
Col. Taylor has long been a
prominent figure in Georgia.
For thirty-five years he was
journalizing clerk of the Georgia
senate. He was an accomplished
gentleman and well versed in par
liamentary law. He was a lawyer
and had been a journalist before
the war.
His acquaintance with public
men was wide and he was much
liked by all.
Col. Taylor had been in failing
health for several years, but was
journalizing clerk of the senate up
to the last session, and his journals
were models.
For some months he has been
confined to his residence and his
death was not unexpected.
Col Taylor was seventy years
old. He leaves a widow and two
children to mourn his loss. His
son, Mr. Walter Taylor, is a mem
ber of the Journal local staff.—
Atlanta Journal of Fridav, August
19th.
Col. Taylor was the second edi
tor and publisher of The Citizen,
about forty years ago when it was
called The North Georgia Times,
and we now have a big half sheet
announcement printed in colors,
making his announcement. It
hangs in our office. We have
framed the Journal picture of Col.
Taylor and hung it with the big
poster.
The Citizen will wager anything
jasonable that Dalton has put up
tore fine buildings and has pros-
sred more than any city of 5,000
1 Georgia this year. We employ
tore hands in manufacturing es-
iblishments than any place of
,000 also.
Wanted.
One dozen copies of last week’s
Citizen. Bring to this office.
During the bombardment of Al
exandria by the British, the late
Bill Nye, in speaking of our navy,
said : “We have the best in the
world—all we need is warships—
we have plenty of water.” He
would now, if alive, perhaps, re
vamp his humorous allusion.
While the flag ship Olympia of
Admiral Dewey’s fleet was throw
ing shells into the Spanish fleet at
Manila each gunner’s mate would
cheer the other while firing the
big guns by singing and playing
“There’l be a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight.” This reminds
one that Nero was said to have
fiddled the same tune while Rome
was burning.
If a volunteer wishes to be mus
tered out, muster him out. He
would make a poor soldier if forced
to stay in. They went in to fight
but they do not wish to do garri
son duty in conquested colonies.
The Citizen don’t blame them.
Editor John W. Bale has sold
out the Rome Argus and Gordon
Hiles succeeds to the editorial
tripod. We know Gordon, and
we know him to be in every way
equipped to make the Argus a
brilliant paper.
Editor Frank T. Reynolds, of
the Dalton Citizen, has been quite
ill, but his bright pen is again in
evidence in his spicy paper.—
Brunswick Times.
It is said to be a fact that
Admiral Dewey had part of his
liver removed a few years since.
What would we have done to 'em
had he his whole liver. What
part he had worked well.
M. Jules Cam bon, the French
ambassador to this country who
was entrusted by Spain to sign the
protocol for her, was an editor at
one time in Paris. This makes
him all the more capable diplomat.
Mormon elders are again at
work in Georgia trying to make
converts. They have headquar
ters at Douglassville. They should
remember the criticism made upon
their proselyting in Catoosa county
a decade a to.
Quite a number of our ex
changes are printing notices that
the law now allows hunters to
shoot doves. The Citizen is op
posed to their being shot at any
time and wishes the law thus re
constructed.
It matters not whether free sil
ver is a “cardinal doctrine” of the
democratic party or not, it is the
duty of every democrat to abide
his party’s platforms and nomina
tions.
Ed Lambright’s electric pen
will now be found flashing in the
columns of the Brunswick Call.
He is a versatile -genius, and an
all round good newspaper man.
If you want to see a thriving
prosperous Georgia city of 5,000
you must come to Dalton to see it.
w* are getting there in great
shape.
Montgomery M. Folsom’s per
spiring genius is making the col
umns of the Brunswick Times
very interesting these cool morn
ings up here in North Georgia.
If we keep the Philippines,
Porto Rico, Guam and Cuba it
looks as if the office of “Secretary
for the Colonies” will have to be
added to the presidential cabinet.
Macon is to have a big diamond
jubilee October 11th to 14th. It
promises to be a big affair. Macon
is one of Georgia’s most hospitable
cities.
The fighting part of the war
may be over, but indications are
strong that the campaign for plun
der will be a long and vigorous
one.
If the Cubans find they cannot
govern themselves as they would
like we see no reason why Cuba
should not be annexed to the
United States, if she so desires.
Now, that the Democrats of
Whitfield have selected their choice
for county officers, let all come to
gether for a full vote in the Octo
ber elections.
It is generally believed that
Sampson’s confirmation will exper
ience rough sailing through the
windward passage of the senate.
The fact that the railroads have
increased the wages of their em
ployees is the best evidence of
good times ahead.
D. G. Bicker’s is doing some
brilliant work on the Macon Tele
graph. We appreciate his writ
ings very much.
The Rome Tribune asks why
there are so few sheep in Floyd
county. Its because they are all
lambs.
Watch the little stagnant pools.
Remember its the little foxes that
spoil the vines.
Look not upon the little stag
nant pools when they are green—
for they’ll turn you yellow.
Taxes Too High.
We are glad too see the press
of the State take up the matter of
needed reform in our tax laws. The
Greensboro Herald and Journal,
in closing a very timely article,
commenting on the returns from
Green County says:
“We admit the rate of taxation
is high. It will continue to be so
until people act honest, when they
face the tax receiver. What we
need is rigid enforcement pf law.
Let a board of equalizers be ap
pointed, and where false returns
are made, let the individual who
made the returns, be indicted and
prosecuted. By the methods we
suggest really dishonest people
will be punished; and the con
science of those who do not intend
to do wrong, but follow the de
bauching example set by perhaps
wealtheir neighbors, will be
aroused. Then taxes will be cease
to be a burden to the poor, and
the state will make an honest,
creditable showing to the world.”
We would like to see every
daily and weekly paper in Geor
gia take up the agitation of this
important matter before the next
meeting of the Georgia legislature.
—Columbus Enquirer Sun.
There are 6,683 Knights of
Pythias lodges in the United States
with a membership of 468,269.
Ohio has more lodges than any of
the states, Illinois coming second,
Pennsylvania third, and Indiana
fourth, but New York has more
members per lodge than any state.

OW are the chil
dren this summer?
Are they doing
well ? Do they
get all the benefit they
should from their food?
Are their cheeks and lips
of good color ? And are
they hearty and robust in
every way?
If not, then give them
Scott’s Emulsion
of cod lever oil <with hypo-
phosphites.
It never fails to build
up delicate boys and girls.
It gives them more flesh
and better blood.
It is just so with the
baby also. A little Scott’s
Emulsion, three or four
times a day, will make
the thin baby plump and
►prosperous. It
furnishes the
'young body with
just the material
necessary for
growing bones
and nerves.

The protracted meeting begun
at Shiloh church Sunday with good
attendance, and the prospect for
a grand revival is promising. The
crowds were so large that the
brethren have decided to build a
bush arbor so that as many as
would might come and be com
fortably seated.
We regret very much to note
the illness of Mrs. Frank Story,
but hope by the skillful treatment
of Drs. Kirkpatrick and McWil
liams that she will soon be on the
road to health again.
Miss Lillian Cox, one of Dal
ton’s most charming young ladies,
is spending some time with her
sister, Mrs. Tobe Smith-
The third quarterly meeting was
held at Shiloh Saturday. The day
was a fine one and every body did
their best to make the occasion a
blessing to every body else.
Handsome Fred Stansell, of
Lindale, is spending some time
with friends and relatives here.
Joe Mills, of Everett Springs,
was around shaking hands and
swaping his side-splitting jokes
with his old friends Sunday.
A short time ago Mr. Sam Car
penter came among us a stranger,
but by his genial manner he has
made a host of friends who deeply
regretted when the time came to
tell him good-bye.
Mrs. R. H. Parsons attended
the funeral of her sister, Mrs.
Rachel Peterson, at Concord Sun
day.
Mr. George Tuder visited in
our community last week, the
guest of his son-in-law, Mr. Elonzo
Kinsey.
Mr. Frank McDonald and his
better half attended services at
Shiloh Sunday for the first time
since they have been married.
Rev. M. Rhudy attended quar
terly meeting at Shiloh Saturday
and returned home Monday.
Mrs. Emma Kenemer has re
turned home after a delightful
stay with her mother in Dalton.
Mr. Charlie Manning, of West
Armuchee, passed through our
community one day last week.
Mrs. B. Davis is visiting the
family of Mr. Robert Roper in
East Armuchee this week.
Miss Ettie Bowen, of Villanow,
is visiting her grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Evans, at this
place.
Do Better.
The Rome Tribune says : “ The
garterless stocking is the latest
thing in the way of hosiery. It
is made with eye-let holes on each
side, which are crossed and laced
like a shoe. The stockings keep
up admirably, and are pretty to
look at.” We hope to see many
of them.
With the completion of the new
addition to the Crown Cotton
mill and the new machinery in,
they will work about 800 opera
tives. The mill is far behind with
orders, and this in the face of the
fact that every paper is now daily
telling of the closing down of
Eastern mills.

To the Public.
I am most grateful to each and
every individual who rendered me
any assistance in my race for the
Democratic nomination for the
legislature, and I will say in be
half of my friend, Black, I do not
know of one ungentlemanly trick
he has done through the entire
race, and I do not think him re
sponsible for any done by his
friends; and since the nomination, j
it is the duty of every Democrat
to give him their help, which I
am going to do.
Yours to command,
H. P. Colvard.

Don’t Neglect Your Liver,
