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. WANTED—Two pair second-hand six Column single chases. Address THE NEWS, Vienna, Ga. 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 moment it misled by any figures or statements the World may make Nothing would please that paper more than a republican victory.

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.

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. Egleston ft McDonald will deliver Cotton Seed Meal and hulls for the Cotton Oil Co., in the citjr. Telephone your orders to them. 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.
