This paper goes out to its read ers this week with its name some what changed. Itis The Carters ville News and Courant-Ameri can. Under this name it will hence forth be known toils readers. The name of The Cartersville News was adopted as a matter of convenience. It was desirable for the paper to carry the name of the city in which it is published, and in that event the former name be came too long. The Courant was a time-honored name and one which has been long associated with Cartersville journalism, but its French meaning was largely lost to the general public. To render Courant into Courier, the form in which it would be best understood, again made the name too long. The News is a simple and comprehensive name. It is easily spoken, easily written and readily understood. , In making this change in the paper’s name the Cartersville Printing Company retains the full right and title to any and all of the former names which have en tered into the various consolida tions and combinations that have come into this paper from time to time. Keep your eye on The Cart ers ville News. More factories and bigger ones. Name the new county Salacoa. The Floyd county fair is on this week at Rome. - "" "T ' The man who reads The News is the man who is prosperous and happy. Atlanta’s white city primary was decent and orderly, but the con test'was sizzling hot. An exchange remarks that At lanta will now have a dandy of a mayor. Yes, a regular James D. “The lines are drawn. It is Stockdell or Woodward. Take your choice.” —a Stockdell adver tisement. They took it. Miss Stella Tate, the attractive sister of Hon. Carter Tate, chris tened the battle-ship Georgia at Bath, Maine, Tuesday. The commercial bodies of Rome have took up the fight for cheaper freight rates. —Summerville News. What else have thev “took up?” Cartersville furnishes more sleep ing-car business than any other town north of Atlanta in Georgia. This town believes in having the best going. If your neighbor does not take and read The Cartersville News, tell him about it, and lend him your paper. He will enjoy it and ever feel thankful to you. People who go into a race, and claim the office by right of pur chase or previous ownership, don’t always find the votes coming along in carload lots. Witness somebody in Atlanta. Here i/the advice the Summer ville News gives its readers: “Don’t sell your cotton for less than io cents. Hold it until the price goes back to that figure. The crop is short and the price will certainly not remain below io cents very long.” Atlanta’s Mayoralty Race. This paper has no hypocritical balderdash for Old Jim Woodward whose malodorous career as mayor of Atlanta has heretofore disgusted the state of Georgia. We thought then and say now that his personal conduct while occupying the chair of Atlanta’s chief executive was a disgrace to the city and to the state of which it is the capital. But we will say now that we believe that Jim Woodward will make Atlanta as good that town has had in many long years and we believe he means to behave himself. We believe he wants to make amends for his odorous past, and we look for a strong, vigorous, sensible adminis tration of the city’s business affairs. Jim Woodward is no fool. He is a hard headed old rooster who knows a thing when he sees it, and when he gets behind a movement for the city’s betterment you couldn’t get him away with a stump puller. He goes after the job and does the business. He might not fit exactly as superin tendent of a Sunday school, hot he is a capital man to build viaducts and hold down street railway cor porations and eruptive police boards. There is a valuable lesson in Atlanta’s red hot mayoralty fight, and it is a wholesome lesson all would-be politicians should learn. It is that people are not going to vote for any man that they cannot freely approach at all times and who does not at all times feel at home with them. There wa9 Stockdell. arrogantly claiming the office by right of common ownership or something of that kind. He and his crowd bad plenty of money to spend and they spent it. He had behind him the combined forces of the Atkinson and English influence. The Brotherton strength clustered about Goodwin. There were Key, Longino and the others, all making a desperate effort to capture the mayor’s chair. Then there was Old Jim Woodward who had no money and no financial, backing. Nobody paid any attention to him. He had been mayor once and disgraced the town. Nobody would vote for him any more except a few cheap work ing people! Then Stockdell picked up Woodward like a scarecrow and shook him in the face of Atlanta. “The race is between me and Woodward,” said he, “and all other votes are lost. Is it Stockdell or Woodward. Take your choice!” When the matter .vasthus shoved up to hundreds of good, plain bus iness men they said: “All right, we’ll take our choice. Here goes for Jim Woodward!” Money and arrogance and great corporations aid not influence these men. “We want somebody we can go to and talk to about the eitj’s business,” said they atid any nigger iu Atlanta can approach Jim Wood ward and tell him what he has to say.” Those few words told the story Woodward might be a moral repro- 5 cents Eight cents a pound is what a young woman paid for twelve pounds of flesh. She was thin and weak and paid one dollar for a bottle of Scott's Emulsion, and by tak ing regular doses had gained twelve pounds in weight before the bottle was finished. Eight cents a pound is cheap for such valuable ma terial. Some pay more, some less, • some get nothing for their money. You get your money’s worth when you buy Scott's Emulsion. We will send you a little free. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl Street, New York 50c. and fi.oo; all druggists.

The friends in this county of | Hon. Sam P. Maddox deeply sym pathize with bin* iu the neath of his son, Fred C. Maddox, who died Thursday at his home in Dal ton. Mr. Maddox was a bright young man, and his future was full of promise, and his death was especially sad. The white primary is the only decent and orderly way. I Wo™ # Society J CARRIE GARNER JONES. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Collins an nounce the engagement of their daughter Maude to Mr. Samuel Clinton Carnes, the wedd ng to >e cur at the home of the bride upon the afternoon of October 26 at 5 o'clock. Miss Collins isthe youngest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Collins, and is a popular young woman w ho possesses many friends who are interested in her future happiness. Mr. Carnes formerly resided in Cartersvil e, but has made Tampa, Fia., his home for the past year. He is a young man of good business qualifications, 'and has numerous fiiends in this city. This time last year the women were busy and excited over the com ing of the Federation meeting, which occurred here last November. Au gusta is to have these clnb women this year, and with her reputation for hospitality and charming women this meeting there is sure to be de lightful in every way. Miss Laura Graham left last week to take an interesting course at the Peabody Normal in Nashyille. The Music Club will meet a week from the next Saturday, at 3 o’clock, with Mrs. Max Scheuer, instead of next Saturday. Most of the club members are to take part in the Ladies’ Minstrels the night previous, hence this postponement. Mis. P. S. Shelman, accompanied by her niece, Miss Annie Lou Hood, left last week tor St. Louis. Miss Edna Field left last week after a pleasaut visit to her cousins, Misses Bernice and Sara Tumlin. We see where an eastern pastor denounced from the pulpit last week the game of flinch. Since then ban has been sustainei by that pas tor’s entire congregation. The first objection raised was that the game had become so fascinating (!) that too much time was devoted to it. On this principle any occupation is harm I'ul which absorbs the individual One can cultivate her flowers to the neglect of her duties within doors. Then is a keautiful yard to be put under the ban? Do not young folks in the church require recreation and relaxation as well as those without? We rather say, inculcate the grace of moderation than bind with the shack les of severity. Mrs. J. W. Jones and children re turn home this week from a month’s visit to Mrs. Jones’parents in Dalton. Mr. and Mrs. Sayre Calhoun, of Atlanta; Mr. and Mrs. H. H. YanDe vender, Cedartown; and Miss Hattie Sayre, Rome, were in the city last week, having been called here by the sad news of Mr. R. P. Morgan’s death. The many friends of Mr. Jack Pe ter, of Louisville, will be glad to hear, that he is to again make Cartersville his home. Society and the town in general are all agog over the Ladies' Minstrel, which is to appear at the opera house tomorrow (Friday). This per formance is to be given by local tal ent for Ihe benefit of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and promises to be one of the most unique entertain ments ever given in our city. Mr. Menko is director and manager, and he has had wonderful success all over j the country in getting up such affairs. I Some of our prettiest girls and most j charming women are to participate, as well as a number of cunning little tots. The “end men,” ’tis said, are | quite too funny for anything. Among the specialties to begin in the olio is an act from the pretty opera. "Pina fore.” There are to be old fashioned ballads, songs, new coon ditties, good jokes, tine costumes, and, in fact, an up-to-date minstrel performance will be witnessed by every one who goes to the opera house Friday night.

Miss Whitman will be pleasantly remembered here, where she has visited as the guest of Miss Strickland. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Howard and little daughter are guests of the for mer’s parents here for a short visit. After spending the summer with relatives in this city, Mrs Charles Tune left last week for her home in South Carolina. After many trials and tribulations, the Daughters of the Confederacy have secured a piano to use for the Ladies’ Minstrels. Mr. Cleveland, the representative of the Cable Piano Cos., who has been here a week, very generously came to their assistance and offered to loan them one. He forthwith ordered anew piano from the Atlanta house and placed it at their disposal, for which the “Daugh ters” are extremely grateful. Mrs. Elizabeth Garner joined a party of Chattanooga friends, who left last week for a fortnight’s visit to St. Louis. Quite an interesting program will be arranged and carried out by Mrs. A. O. Granger and several young ladies, the subject being “Japan, Its History, Customs, etc,” at the; East Side church October 20, Thursday evening, at 7:30 o’clock. A voluntary offering will be taken for the benefit of the piano.
