CARDINAL SARTO HAS
BEEN ELECTED POPE
Tbe Hews of His Election Was Given ont
NOT COUNTED STRONQ CANDIDATE
But Is Possessed of Great Executive
Ability And is a Very Force-
V ful Catholic.
A special from Richmond, Ya.
dated August 4th says: The elee-
' n of Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto
partriarch of Venice, to sue
r -,3d Pope Leo XIII, was announc
ed at 6:40‘this morning
The selection of Cardinal Sarto
comes as a surprise because he
was not considered to be a strong
candidate for the head of the
Catholic religion.
Inasmuch as this is the first
election of the kind since the
elevation of Leo in 1878, the in
terest in the meeting of the car
dinals has been intense, not only
in Rome, but in the entire civilized
world and the announcement that
the selection had been made was
received with marked interest
lardinal Sarto is famed for his
and independence. He makes
t a point never to meddle in poll
ics. He possesses great execu-
ive ability and is reckoned as one
if tho most forceful prelates of
he Catholic religion.
As curdinals go, he is one of tlic
youngest set, as he did not attain
his present rank until 1898, but
his juniority does not lesson his
I t influence as will be seen by his
[f jplection to be the head of tho
"Catholic religion.

' A BRAVE BURjULAR
Entered Tbe Home of Editor Bivins
at Cordele,
Editor J. YV. Bivins reports
that he is now looking for his
watch, a nickle and two soda
(water checks, according to tho
laily News, that some one pulled
[from his pants pockets Sunday
night while he and his family
vere sound asleep.
Mr. Bivins states as yet he hns
clue as to who the wicked
hearted rascal was, but, said he,
“I would appreciate it if he would
return my watch, os I would be
willing to donate him the ‘money
and checks.’”
Mr. Bivins stated further that
this was a very peculiar 'theft, for
he had never heard of a Georgia
editor being robbed.
Tho fellow undoubtedly must
havo struck the wrong house.

More Real Estate Deals

several more real estate deals this

hoa been the prime mover in all
of them. He closed n trade this
week with Mr. G. R. Mathews for
his dwelling house and lot and
also the meat nmrkot lot situated
above Newby’s store. He pur
chased from Mr. J. T. Murray his
wooden store houso occupied by
YV. F. Newby. His next purchase
was tbe old livery stables and
blacksmith shop from Mr. YV. D
Dixon, thus giving him a lot ex
tending across the block facing
Union street and Cotton avenue,
the size of same being 285 feet x
210.
Mr. McDonald lms not decided
definitely what he will do with
this property as yet. The News
is glad to see so much property
changing hands as it means that
the city will continue to build lip
rapidly. If you have anything
that you don’t need and don’i
care to improvo it yourself, sell it
and let the other fellow do it.

THE SEMI-tf’EKLY NEWS.
The First Issue Will Appsar Wednes
day, September and.
On account of the dull adver
tising season we have decided to
leave off the extra four pages we
have been printing in order to
give plenty of room for _ our ad
vertising patronage and also to
give plenty of rending matter. It
is also our intention to commence
publishing Seini-YY’eekly again on
the first of September provided
that our advertisers will agree to
the rate that we will be compelled
to ask in order to publish a first-
class semi-weekly paper.
YVe have tried the weekly long
enough to be fully satisfied that
the semi-weekly is the best paper
for tho people who want to read
the news while it is news, We
also tried the twice-a-week a suf
ficiency to know that one could
not be run as successful os it
ought to be at the weekly rate of
advertising. The city peoplo nnd
country people living along the
rural routes, or a large number of
them at least, like the two paper
a week plan better than the one
paper a week plan, nnd it is to the
interest of the merchants nnu
citizens of Vienna especially that
a good twice-a-week paper is pub
lished here and they should not
hesitate in giving such an enter
prise their heartiest support.
Such a pnper can be of untold
value to the market here nnd also
affords a fine opportunity for the
merchants to put their goods and
prices before the peoplo at the
earliest moment.
A weekly pnper is a good tiling
for a town, and a twice-n-week is
bettor. Now, if you want a good
twice-a-week paper give us your
hearty support. -If you cannot
take a page or half page at the
rate, take a column, two columns
or three columns full lenghth or
half or smaller. It is not the
amount you say everytime or the
size space it occupies, but it is
what you say.
Bo. ready for the manager when
he calls on you in the next few days
to agroe to take a certain amount
of space foi; the next 12 months.

Georgia this season.
Tho Hawkinsvillo boys went
into the game ns though they had

against tho real ting. They all
played good Imll, but tho Jerry

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 4th.—The
Senate committee on constitution
al amendments decided at its
meeting yesterday afternoon that
bills creating special school dis
tricts outside of incorporated cities
and towns are unconstitutional
Tho committee had under con
sideration the bill creating
school district in Cobb county, to
be known ns the Leonard school
district. This will be reported
back with the recommendation
that it do not pass, nnd similar
action will lie taken upon a num
ber of similar bills which have
been passed by the lower house and
are now pending before the senate.
Grave doubts have been ex
pressed as to the constitutionality
of bill creating special school dis
tricts. It was said that both the
governor and nnd the attorney
general are inclined of the belief
that such bills contravene the
constitution of tbe state; because
of this doubt the other bills were
tabled, while this one wns re
ferred to tho committee on con
stitutional amendments.
After going into the matter
strongly at its meeting yesterday
tlje committee hold such bills to
bo unconstitutional. This decis
ion vdll effect a number of bills,
many of which have their births
in tho desire of persons antago
nistic to the county school com-'
missioner of a particular county.
Because of personal animosity of
this character it has been pro
posed to incorporate special school
districts in different sections of
those counties with a view to
taking the schools from tho jur
isdiction of the county school
commissioners. The effect of
their passage would, it Is feared
he to greatly disrupt the present
public school system.

I nevor could understand why
some people would take up so
much of their time talking about
their neighbors’ faults, and never
find time to say anything about
their virtues. I believe it would
add much to the pleasures of life
if wo would all be “ to the faults
of others a little blind, and to
their virtues very kind."
Vienna and Dooly county have
a lot of good people, who are
kind-hearted, enterprising, public
spirited—ever ready to lend
helping hand to every enterprise
that hns for its object the up-lift
ing of mankind and the building
up of a Greater Y’ienna. There
are a few, I am sorry to say, who
throw cold water on everything
that does not originate in their
own contracted minds; and all
would pray for “ Me and My wife
and My son John, nnd his wife
us four, and no more.”
But, I am glad to say that class
is small in Dooly, and is growing
“ beautifully less ” every day. It
is the big-hearted men who are
coming to the front.
Dooly has enough of that sort
to moke her the greatest county
in the greatest State in the great
est government on this big oarth.

Near Byromville, Mr. McKenzie

Mr. YVobb also showed us some
fine corn and cotton.
Hon. J. C. Owen has the best

Ho will gather twenty bushels of

his farm. He is enjoying farm
life to the fullest extent. Nothing

A NEGRO KILLED B?
THE A. AND B. TRAIN
The 11 o’clock Atlantic & Bir
mingham parfsongcr train coming
up from Cordele Wednesday morn
ing killed George Cobb, an aged
and respected negro man who jives
on the late widow Minerva Collier
place now owned by Mr. Leonard
about six miles south-west of the
city, just as lie was crossing tho
track about two miles-nbovo Cor-
delo as be was on his way home.
It is not known whotlior tho ne
gro heard or saw the approaching
train as lie failed to take any no
tice whatever when the engineer
blow tho whistle according to in
formation given out by some of
the crow. He was in n top buggy
and the engine struck it tearing
it almost completely up and car
rying part of it several yards.
The old negro was struck in the
the back of the head and was dead
before the train could be stopped
and the crew get bock to him.
The horse was not injured but was
jerked down by the harness.
The old negroes body was taken
up by the train crew and brought
to this city. His family was no
tified and they came to the city
late thut afternoon and carried
the body homo.
Coroner Graham was notified at
Unadilla, who came down on the
Shoo-fly that afternoon. Ho went 1
out to the home of the negro yes-
terdny morning to hold an inquest
but had not returned up to the
time of our going to press.
George Cobb was ono of tho best
and hardest working old negroes
in the county and we are informed
that ho had some of last year’s
cotton on hand ye$. He also had
$10 in his pocket. He was a broth-
of old Undo Pompy Cobb another
good old time negro.

But if you say ICE I and wc don't j Bros. J. M. Kelly and K. S. At-
stop, tell us the reason. Idinson conducted a protracted
meeting four or flvo days. The
preaching was soul-stirring and
the song service delightful. Tho
church seemed greatly revived.
I spont several dnys with Judge
E. 8. Johnson, dealer in beof cat
tle and pork, on Flint river, near
Capron, Ga.
YVe had a protracted love-feast
over there. It would make my
letter too long to tell all the nice
things that wore spread before me
to eat, and would make the print
ers and city editors turn green
with envy to read about tho long
strings of brim, trout, and chan
nel cat-fish fresh from the clear
waters of the Flint, all nicely
fried brown and crisp, with good,
coffee, good buttermilk, nice, cold
sweet milk and everything else
that was nico to eat or drink. But
the pretty face of Mrs. Johnson
added more to the real pleasnre
of our visit than anything else,
except the Irish wit and lovely
chnrms of their pretty visitor
from Pensacola, Fla., Miss Corne
lia McCormack. The judge hns
good crops of everything—corn,
cotton,'cane, peas and jiotatoes.
His pastures are full of cows—
180 head—and tho river swamp is
alive with hogs; and he has big
piles of old c<;rn to throw to them
every day.
