Calls attended day and night. houees to rent In the past three days, and not. a vacant house in town," said Mr. Felton H. Knight, a prominent real eatae dealer to a Ht.mdard man the other day. Which leada us to again auk the question, Why don't Home one build more houses? Scores of good houses have been built during the past few mo’nthH in roHponsn to the 'steady and growing de maud, but they are generally rented before they Are built, and the demand Ht111 continue h. It is true that material and labor ro both high, but rents have advanced In proportlon.no that no Investor need heJttaie on that account. What ia needed most in quite a num ber of good five- and six-room houses, with all the modern conveniences. These always command a good rent, and are Always In demand. If you have the land and don't have the money wherewith to build, It will jay you to get It. If you have money and don't have the land, do not let the apparently high price of desirable building lots deter you from making a profitable in vestment. Figure on It carefully, of course, and If you find you can make it profitable—as w.* believe you will,— go right ahead and DO IT NOW. There are young men In Cedartown who are earning good wages, who could with great advantage to them selves start a nice savings bank for themselves by buying a lot and build ing a good house thereon. Lota can be bought on easy terms, and if you own the ground, you never have any trouble getting the money wherewith to build. The number of now houses that hafe gone up the past year in Cedartown la it gratifying, and the owners have jvery Instance good reason to I be pleased with their Investment. But Cedartown needs more houses now! Do a good thing for yourself nnd the town by building more houses at once. Good ones, mind you! No more lit tle snide structures, but up-t»-date five and six-room cottages. That Is the kind needed, that is the kind which will pay you best. The trustees of the Seventh Con- Congressional District Industrial and Agricultural College held a meeting In t.ie State Library al Atlanta, Thurs day, Aug. 29th. Some important busl- n.a* was transacted,and arrangements wire made for furnishing the build ings and the farm with the necessary furniture and farming equipment as soon as the buildings are completed and the crops are gathered off the land. The college building and one of the dormitories are now going up and will be reudy for students at the time specified by ail thj eleven district schools, viz, Jan. 1st, 1908. All the buildings of these eleven schools throughout the state will be of uniform structure, the state will be rioulura or course of study will be the same In each school. Uniform text-books will be adopted, such books as are now used in the schools of the state, so that students who have such books will not be compi lb d to pur chase new ones. Owing to the failure of the Senate to pass the Fertilizer bill to increase the tax on fertilizer tags from 10 cents to 25 cents per hundred, which had already passed the House and which carried an appropriation of $10,000 for each of the District Col leges, the trustees are handicapped in this grand and far-reaching un dertaking In providing the necessary equipments. We find that arrangements can L>e made to admit only about seventy-five students on January 1st. This number will be proportioned umoug the thir teen counties which make up the Sev enth Congressional district. From CHAS. VANN WOOD, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON. Office over riillpot’a store.

Will the above law passed by the last Legislature ltpsen the drug habit? 1 say now unhesitatingly it will no\ Already those unfortunate who are addicted to the morphine habit are ordering their supplies from Chatta nooga. Like those addicted to the drink habit, they will have this drug If they had to oorder it from New York. Under the provisions of this law no Individual can get one-fourth of a grain of morphine, which is an or dinary dose,without a written prescrip tion from a regular practicing phy sician. The same thing applies to opium, laudanum and other narcotics. Lot's state a case that frequently hap pens: An individual is suffering in tense pain. He knows from experi ence that a dose of morphine or laud anum or opium will relieve him. He sends a niekle or a dime to his drug gist to get one or the other of these medicines. Under this law the drug gist can't let him have it. He can’t even give it to him. What's the poor fellow to do? He hasn’t got the dol lar to pay a physician for his pre scription; consequently he must just suffer on. Before this law was passed he could take a dime or a niekls and get as much of either of these drugs as he needed. When will our law makers learn thuj they can no more legislate morals Into a man than they can legislate bad j habits out of him? It takes a high- j er power to do either. And that state prohibition law. with the “locker" attachment, isn't that a ' Jim Dandy! Oh! yes, they say. we j have passed a state prohibition law j with a whoop and a hurrah but boys, you can go ahead and organise your ' Itwker olul s ’ and g t all the liquor you want, JUSTICE. present Indications there will be three times as many applicants when the school opens as we will be prepared to accommodate. All the expense that a student will have to meet will be his board bill, which has been fixed at $10 per month; after the first month this charge will be reduced to $5.40. Each student will be required to work on the farm or in the shop nine hours each week, for which he will be paid at the rate of ten cents per hour, or $3.60 per month, which will be cred ited on his second month's board. The girls will receive the same credit for housework. The age of eqtranee for pupils has been fixed at 14 years for boys and 13 for girls. Prof. Henry R. Hunt, a former res ident of this county,was elected Super intendent of the school at a former meeting or the Board. Hts election to this position is an houor ato ur county, and goes a gnat way toward allaying our disappointment at not se curing the location of the school in Polk county. Prof. Hunt was with us in this meeting and gave us valuable aid in our work. Ou account of a lack of funds we could only elect one assistant. Prof. J. G. Oliver of Jones county, who will have special charge of the agricultural work. Prof. Hunt has arranged to move to the farm at once, and will be glad to receive letters from applicants who desire to enter the college at the time arranged for opening. This is an advanced step towards the education of our boys and girls In the j practical things of life, and may result! in the establishing iu the near future ' of an industrial and agricultural col lege in every county in the state.

The County Commissioners met Saturday ami fixed the tax rate at fb.50 on the Sl.tXHL a reduction of SO cents from last year. The state tax rate is the full limit -$5 on the $1.0*00 the highest state rate in a number of years. Our County Commissioners have the thanks of our people for the h-m vJ. action. Health in ihe Canal Zone. The high wages paid make it a mighty temptation to our young ar tisans to join the force of skilled w'orkmen needed to construct the Pan ama Canal. Many are restrained how ever by the fear of fever and malaria. It is the knowing oues—those who have used Electric Bitters, who go there without this fear, well know ing they are safe from malarious in fluence with Electric Bitters on hand.

Owing to the congested condition of business for long line telephone serv ice after 6 o’clock p. m.. it Has been decided by the Bell Telephone Com pany, in order to give better and quicker service, to withdraw, begin ning the first of September, 1907, the night rates for telephone messages throughout its territory. Being con nected with the Bell people, it Is nec essary for our company to do the same thing. Therefore, this Is to notify the people that beginning with the first of September there will be no night rates by the Telephone Com pany, but the day rates will prevail in the night as well as in the day.
