The Atlanta News is so hot
that its heading has grown a
bright red.
The time is drawing close when
Bob Taylor to again enter the po
litical nremt.
The country paper’s old joke on
the legislature has grown so stale
it begins to smell.
Carrie Nation broke loose

Joe Jefferson has again decided

President Roosevelt should be

By the time the lawyers get

Brvan- With ull his other troub*
let, we would not be surprised if

A representative of the News
took a trip up the grading of the
new railroad Sunday afternoon and
was very much impressed with the
progress the railroad people are
making toward tl.e completion of
the road to Montezuma. The
trestles which are being built are
ot the very best materials and are
being put up strong and substantial
enough to withstand the hard use
of many years. The road will open
up a splendid section of country and
open t;o a ready marKet a section
which heretofore has been at a very
great disadvantage along this line.
The grading is well and substan
tially done, and every appurtenance
to the road is being put up in a way
that will be good for many years.
The benefit to this city which
will be derived from this new road
can baldly be estimated. It puts
Vienna into communication with a
section of country ivhich will be a
great benefit to both, besides it
gives this place an advantage in
rates that should be taken in con
sideration. With these added
facilities for rapid transportation
and communication, Vienna should
at once take on new a life and lorge
ahead with long strides.
Why should not this new road
bring to us some manufactories?
Why should it riot induce the in
vestment of outside capital as well
as our own? It certainly should
and we firmly believe that it will.
Vienna will, by the completion of
this new road, be attached onto
new territory from which she may
draw trade that will help very
materially in swelling the income
and resources of our business men.
Whenever n railroad is built it
brings new life and an added pros
perity to the section through which
it runs, nnd if that section has the
adA outage of being rich in resources,
the building of a ( railroad through
i|t is almost of inestimable value.
In this article so lar nothing has
been said of tbe matter of competi
tion, which is, of course, of the
utmost importance to the business
men. Where there is competition,
things are compelled to come cheap
er, unless a community ofc interest
is entered info, or more plainly
speaking, a combination, nnd this
very seldom happens among rail-
'roads.
We have been very seriously of
the opinion that Vienna only need
ed this additional public facility to
cause her to forge very rapidly to
the front in the matter of population
nnd public enterprises, and we
strongly believe that when this new
road is completed the people of
Vienna will witness a forward
movement of industrial along all
lines, and the News will be found
ready at any and all times to aid
by pen and by action this new era
of predicted prosperity.
Georgia farmers are not grumb
ling over the cotton crop this sens
on, as it has been a favorably good
one over the entire cotton section.
This fact means happjness and
contentment to thousands of homes
in this and other states.
Brother Byn Russell, of the
Baiubridge Argus, absolutely re-
fuses to take any comfort from, the
results of. the recent elections in
the different states. Cheer up,
brother, better days ate coming for
the democracy.
For the people’s sake, gentle
men of the legislature, don’t create
any new and expensive offices to
sap tbe resources of the state.
There ore too many now. Cut
Borne of them out and you will be
doing a service tor your constitu
ents that will redound to your
everlasting credit.
PROPOSED FAIR.
A motion is on foot to organize
what is to be known as a "middle
counties fuir association” to be
held in Macon in 1903. It is pro-'
posed to issue a call to n certain
number of prominent farmers and
have them meet as soon as possible.
The object of the movement, is to
advertise the products and. re
sources of the various counties
participating in the fair-
This proposition it possessed-, of
much merit, and should meet with
the heurty aid and corporation of
the farmers and people of this sec
tion of the state. There is nothing
which will help a county or state
or a number of counties more than
a fair of this kind. It is the only
means by which they can properly
udvertise their resources and in
ducements to outsiders, and Dooly
county should not be found lagging
behind in a movement of this kind.

REPRESENTATIVE HEARST.
The New York Democracy did
itself proud when it elected Wil
liam R . Hearst, editor and pro
prietor of the famous New York
Journal, to the National House of
Representatives. Mr. Hearst,
though a millionaire as tar as mon
ey is concerned, is nevertheless a
true friend of the common people,
and can be implicitly depended
upon to champion their rights on
all occasions. Through his fa
mous paper he has wrestled most
courageously with the avaracious
and mighty giant of capital, and
has always stood Srm for the.
rights of the common people when
they were endangered.
He has exposed-the most gigant
ic frauds in the municipal man.
agement of the city of New York,
and has balked schemes, which,
had they been carried out, would
have robbed the people of mil
lions of dollars. We expect him
to at once take a leading place m
the councils of the Democratic
side of the House and it his career
up to this time is any enterion by
which we may judge, tbe people
may expect great things from
Representative Hearst.
