Ed Calloway, formerly chief clerk of
the Kimball House, Atlanta, died at his
home near Forsyth, Ga., last week.
Dr.J. C. Brigham lost his life in a
burning building in Girard, Ga ~ a town
near Augusta, in trying to save’his
medicine case.
Congressman Tom Hardwick, says he
is in favor of the re-election of Senator
Clay without oppcsition, It would be
the proper thing.

A large number of Gov. Hoke Smith’s
friends who have been waiting to see
whether he would be a candidate for!
senator, will now cheerfully support
Hon. A. 8. Clay. See?
Attorney Littleton said it looked like
Prosecuting Attorney Jerome xas more
bent on destroying Evelyn Thaw than
in convyicting Thaw. Jerome has made
no creditable reputation in conducting
this trial.
Now, that Governor Hoke Smith will
not be a candidate for Senator, the
Atlanta correspondents will have to
hunt up somebody else for their pur
' poses of furnishing news from the cap
ital.
Mr. J. A. Hall, of Calhoun, has quit
editing a newspaper, and is a candidate
for the legislature. How he has fallen
from his high estate! There is no tell
ing what fate is in store for an editor
when he quits the business.
We stated some months ago that Sen
ator Clay weuld be a candidate for
United States Senator, no matter who
should run against him. His candidacy
. has been fully understood by his friends,
and he has matters in good shape to be
his own successor.
If the State Examiner of banks had
done his duty, he might have saved a
whole lot of depositors their money in
the Neal Bank in Atlanta. And.if thuse
bankers had been true to their trust,‘
they wouldn’t have involved the bank.
A little penitentiary punishment of the
bank officiels might prove wholesome.
A negro named John Parham was
sentenced by Judge Moses Wright, of
Rome, to eight years for perjury, and
the Court of Appeals sustained his sen
tence. The negro swore he was hurt in
a railroad accident on the Central of
Georgia railroad, and sued for damages,
when ro such accident had ever occur
red.

Senator Clay will have a walk-over
practically in the senatorial primary.
He may have some opposition, but he
is so well liked throughout the State
that there is but little, if any, doubt
that it will not be formidable. He has
devoted himself untiringly to theinter
ests of his constituents, and at the
same time has taken a prdminent part
in the queations that affected the whole
cauntry.—Savannah News,

Uncle Sam will not do business on
eredit ; neither will he do business with
agewspaper publisher who does busi
ness on credit.. This means cutting
down of the cireulation of mAany coun
try newspepers —Fort Gaines Sentinel.
But if the newspaper editor is willing
to pay the postage, and Uncle Sam gets
a 8 much pay at the pound rates on a
delinquent subscriber as }e does on one
who has paid in advance, where is Unecle
Sam the loser, and why should he in
terfere with our business?
We do not believe that Senator Clay
had any understanding with Governor
Smith not to be a candidate for re-elec
tion. On the contrary, Governor Smith
Baid, in an interview published in the
Atlanta Journal, that he ‘‘might con
clude and see if Senator Clay could beat
him for the senate.” Governor Smith
must have known that Senator Clay has
been actively a candidate for months.
One of our prograssive young men has
been figuring on the money to be made
out of another paper here, and he came
to the correct conclusion that he could
issue a paper only at a severe loss. No
one but a printer can run a county
newspaper in a small town unless they
have money to burn, and the newspaper
Youte is a nigh cut to hurning money at
the very best, and with the best man
agement.—Conyers Free Press.
Yes, but you can’t make some folks
believe it. It is a lesson they have to
learn by costly experience, loss of time
#nd worry. Where a town has a good
newspaper, the way to keep it, is to
gustain it.
TUHE INTESNT. .
Judge Broyles, of Atlanta, had before
him last week a prisoner for getting
drunk. The man gaid he got his whie
‘key from Chattancoga. Judge Broyles
levied a fine 0f*525.75 for the offense,
and remarked: ‘‘There is no excuse for
drunkenness now., When g man séends
to Chattanooga for whiskey and gets
drunk, his act shows deliberate intent,
and the offense i greater than when
saloons were open on all sides to tempt
a man. You have the right to send af
ter whiskey, but you had better be care
ful and not get drunk.”
Judge Broyles is right. It is the in
tept, premeditationfiand preparation to
commit erime that makes its culmina
tiorr heinous and offensive to law and
gociety,
PLATFORM TO GET IN ON,
According to the Savannah Press,
Gwinnett county is to have a legisla
tive candidate who will run on the plat
form of good roads. A candidate ought
to run well when the roads are good.—
Dalton Citizen.
If he would run on the platform of
“bad roads’’ and try to improve them,
it would seem more like the eternal fit
ness of things. But going to the legis
lature to get ‘‘good roads’’ would seem
to be a farce, unless he ig going to have
a bill passed to vote for bonds to build
good roads. It takes money to get
roads, and candidates can’t do much
only to make promises.
THE REASON WHY,.
A work for the future legislator is to
put the pistol-toter out of business. To
begin with, why not make it a erime to
buy, sell, give away, carry, or have in
possession on your person or premises,
a pistol of any kind?—Dalton Argus.
Because the constitution of the United
States says you shall not ®ibridge the
right to bear arms. The best the siate
oan do is to say you cannot carry the
pistol concealed, but fully exposed to
view. The state can impose a license
to carry a pistol, but if a man will take
the chances of being detected by carry
ing it concealed, he will take the
chances of carryingit without a license,
thinking he can not be detected.
DEATH OF MRS. HARDAGE.
Mrs. M. A. Hardage, aged 93 years,
died in this city at the home of her
son, Mr. W. P. Hardage, on last Thurs
day morning. Her remains were car
ried to New Salem on Friday morning
and interred in the cemetery there.
Mrs. Hardage lived a long and useful
life. She was a consistent Christian,
and her departure was one of triumph.
We extend our sympathies to the be
reaved.

'\ A new postal regulation says: ‘‘A
‘reasonable time will be allowed pub
lishers to secure renewals of subscrip
tions, but unless subsecriptions are ex
pressly renewed after the term for
which they are paid, with the following
periods: Weeklies within 12 months,
they shall not be counted in the legiti
mate list of subscribers, and copies
mailed on account thereof shall not be
accepted for mailing at the second-class
postage rate, ete.”
No papers allowed'on the free list.
Our subscribers who areiin arrears with
their subseriptions will have to pay up;
paper will not be allowed to pass
through the mail unless one ecent is
placed on each paper, which we cannot
afford to do.
Due notice is thus given, and those in
arrears as much as twelve mouths will
have to be dropped from our list. Act
promptly. Ml

The Marietta Journal is forty-two
years old, right in its prime, and one
of the best weekly papersin the State.—

Just as true as preaching. The Mari

that the writer exchanged with thirty
years ago, when we commenced the
publication of the Quitman Free Press,
and we have'never lost sight of Neal &
‘Massey since. We would feel asifa
screw had been loosened, if the Marietta
Journal did not come to us regular —

THE SAFETY OF EANK DEPO%ITS depends not
so much upon the bank’s capitdl and surplus as
upon the judicious managemeunt of those funde, which
means absolute conservatism in mattefs of loans and
investments.
This feature is one to which the officers and direz
tors of the Marietta Trust and Banking Company give
the most careful consideration; 1n every instancs fore
going the possibility of gain, rather than make such
loans as would involve any risk, .
Upon the merit of the eminently successful record
and high character of vhis bank we solicit your account.
