WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
It England and Germany should
break their pledges and infringe on
the Monroe Doctrine in the little
Venezuela matter by seizing land,
the United States would be placed
in a somewhat nwkard position,
and it wolild not be surprising if
such a thing should happen, when
one considers the trickery of na
tions and their avuracity. Germany
hus felt very sore toward this
country ever since the Manila bay
episode, and if she could gain the
sympathy and material support of
Great Britian, she would not likely
hesitate very long tot deal us a
heavy blow. No one knows the
understanding that m^y exist he-
tween these two countries; their
rulers are related by the closest of
family ties, and they have been
unusually intimate of late. We
do not believe they will always
submit to the Monroe Doctrine,
with their greediness for territory.
They would be willing to war to
the very death to obtain possession
of that great expanse of territory
lying below us. And beyond ail
doubt they could find plenty of
tiling allies.

It seems that Hoh. John Barrett
has some enemies at home as well
as in Japan.
If half that is said and written
bf the legislature were true,
wholesale lynching would be in
Order.
Of course, it now remains for
Atlanta papers to enter- a month's
argument as to which reported the
’ lire first.
There it no longer any doubt
about that Savannah girl’s insanity
because the has threatened to write
a book.
The Senate has passed the
appropriation bill, and it is now a
law. All appropriations are made
for two years.
It seemt Venezuela has gone
little too far this time with her
foolishness. All she needs is
sound thrashing.
If the depot in Atlanta had just
gotten itself burned in Tuesday’s
Are, Atlantan’s could face their
loss with much better heart.
While the seething, roaring
flames were seeking and devouring
everything in their path in Atlanta
Tuesday morning, the old depot
stood unharmed and untouched
through it all. Such it tute.
The New York Sun seems to
have soured badly on President
Roosevelt lately. What can be
coming over that paper? The
office devil must have charge while
the editor is out hunting np dclin
quents.
• Prom the eastern, states comes
the report of the coldest
weather known there in 34 years,
This condition of tilings might
1 been prophesied some time ago,
because of the scarcity ot coal,
When it rains it pours.
The New York World grows
very gloomy and sees not much
chance of the democrats being vie
torious in 1904. No one for one

Nothing would please that paper
more than a republican victory.

THE LOCAL PAPER.
The people of a community owe
it to themselves to lend a liberal
support to their local paper. It is
the local paper that lights their
battles; that stands up tor thcie
town «nd advertises their business.
A real patriotic man will always
be found to be taking his local
paper. A man who will not take
his borne paper has not the least
particle of patriotism about him,
The local paper gets less in
turn for the amount it gives than
any concern in the world.- It bus
been the means of bringing many
men out—-of starting them on the
road to fame. It boosted and
pruised him; told of his brilliant
talents and great intelligence until
the people began to believe it and
sent him to congress, and from
there he went on up the ladder of
fame, all because his little home'
paper called attention to him and
opened the way for him.
The local paper makes many
men ( but it never unmakes one. It
always has something good to say
01 it has nothing.
Many an influential man in the
community cculd be ruined by hi*
home paper if it so choose, but not
so with the local paper. It wishes
to build up instead of tearing
down, to construct instead of de
stroying.
The local paper has made many
towns. Day after dny und year in
and year out it talks for its town
—tells of the many advantages to
be had there, ot the healthful cl:
mate etc., until it attracted the at
tention of outsiders to the place
and caused them to come there,
And so it goes, ull its work is
done ior others, never thinking of
self.

HORRIBLE CONDITIONS.
The investigation into the mine
conditions exhisting in the anlhra-.
cite regions has developed some
facts that should have come to light
long ago. - Boys of tender age
liuve been bound down in thoie
fearful holes for year after year to
pay debts contracted by their un
fortunate fathers, who havp died
since, and, in some cuses, these
youths are lelt as the only support
for large iumtiies. Evidence has
been brought out which shows the
heartless cruelty of the great cor-
porations owning these mines, and
their utter disregard for the poor
creatures who arc so unfortunate as
to be compelled to labor in these
great dark holes, where nothing is
known but poverty and toil day
after day and year after year. Some
steps should be taken to remedy
the condition of these poor people.
Christmas comes but two weeks from
tomorrow. And just to think that an
editor has not the extra socklet to
hangup for Santa Claus.—Amerieus
Times-Kecorder.
Perhaps some of the boys can
loan Mrs. Myrick an extra ‘socklet’
But just think of her being in that
lumentable condition. It’s really
awful.

What’s the matter with Oom
Joe Hall for congress? Without
doubt, he would make it hot for
the money devils. Great Cuesar.
but wouldn’t he raise a stir with
his Paul Kruger whiskers and
fog-horn melodian ?
Famous men who have loaned
the use of their names to invest:
ment concerns the merits of which
they knew nothing, have been
learned a set ere lesson in New
York. One of these concerns went
to the wail and an investor who
had put in |6o,ooo is now suing
these great men to recover his
money.
Thank the Lord, we don’t have
to depend on the merciless coal
trust for our fuel. Not as long as
those old tali pine trees stand out
yonder ready and willing to be cut
up inttf stove wood. Ah, friends,
there’s nothing like being inde
pendent.
The merchants of Atlanta who
were burned out in Tuesday’s fire
have opened offices and are filling
orders us fa.t as they come in. It
is this unconquerable spirit that
has made Atlanta what it is today,
und that will continue to make it
one of the greatest cities in the
union.
Italy has come forward with an -
other great inventer who deciaiei
he will make man the complete
master of the sens, he having in
vented a submarine bout in which
be can explore at will the bottom
of the sea. This world is moving
too fast. Something is going to
happen one of these days -some-
thing awful.
A WORD TO CORRESPONDENTS.
To correspondents we wish to
indite a few lines of instruction,
which if followed will be a great
aid to us and will add to the style
and composition of your communL
cations.
First, cut out the old saying
of "Madum Rumor,” for that
old lady has been dead' several
years, having met her death at the
hands of an enraged editor.
In writing be sure and give the
full name of the patties written of
. Do not give your personal opin
ion as news.
Give the news in a brief, concise
manner and do not attempt to
stretch out or try your hand at
fine writing, as the people wSnt
plain, everyday English.
Do riot give rumors as news; if
you are not certain as to the truth
of a mutter of news, try and verify
it before sending it in.
Never write onytliing you think
would give offense to the people of
your community; it will just be
trouble for nothing, as the blue
pencil will get it sure.
