A CONSOLIDATION,
The Courant American and the
News have been consolidated, and
instead of the two papers as issued
heretofore, one alone. The News
and Courant, will lie issued.
By the consolidation the pro
prietors of The Courant American
and the stock company owning the
News form themselves into anew
stock company. A final organiza
tion of the company will be effec
ted as soon as a charter can be ob
tained, and all arrangements for
the publication of The News and
Courant will be completed as soon
as possible. Becoming fully aware
that the field is not large enough
for two good papers in Cartersville,
all concerned in the transaction
enter into the new combination in
harmony and with sincerity of pur
pose, and the common desire is
that the paper shall be a success
and a representative journal such
as the people wish and deserve.
The company starts unhampered
by possibly hurtful obligations, on
a solid business footing and with
a clean showing for commercial
favor and for business. The gen
tlemen who compose the company
are from among Cartersville’s most
solid and influential citizens— men
well identified with the commun
ity’s every interest. The consoli
dation is, therefore, a concentra
tion of influence, useful forces and
resources.
The plant will be equipped with
ample and the best of material and
appliances. The experience, en
ergy and past success of the men
who are put in charge for the con
duct of the paper, is an earnest of
what may be expected in the man
agement.
In a word, it shall be our aim to
make the News and Courant, first,
a progressive yet clean, dignified,
and reliable journal; second, a pa
per giving a faithful weekly chron
icle of the news of the town, coun
ty and section and in an impartial
and careful manner—ever alert and
endeavoring that nothing that is
worthy shall escape notice; third,
to give aid to all that tends to for
ward the best ends of society, all
that invites material advancement
and the general welfare of the com
munity.
Every community should feel a
pride and an interest in its news
paper, and we ask the friendly ser
vices and patronage of the public.

There is a concerted effort on
the part of missionaries in Porto
Rico to send bright children to tne
United States for longer or shorter
stays. Charity is not asked, for
most of those whom it is contem
plated to send are sons of well-to
do men. The aim is to get them
for a time into American homes
and into American schools. Some
have already arrived, and the mis
sionaries expect to be able to send
an increased number year by year.
Schools and parents are asked to
give, in case they want such boys,
the price for maintenance, school
tuitions and fees, and the denom
ination with which they are af
filiated. It is the idea of these
missionaries that young Porto
Ricans, inmates of schools and
Christian families in the United
States for a time, will have tre
mendoirs influence upon their re
turn.
The monthly crop report com
piled by the New Orleans Tiuies-
and issued July i, gives
the net increase of the acreage, as
compared with last year, at per
cent, and states “that the crop is
very spotted: that in the Carolinas
the outlook is gloomy; in Alabama
and Georgia accounts vary from
very bad to very good; in Missis
sippi the prospect is, on the whole,
good; Arkansas and Louisiana are
vety fair; from Texas a*d Indian
Territory reports are almost unan
imously optimistic. The crop is a
late one, despite the forcing June
weal her, and the date of frost will,
therefore, possess a supreme im
portance.” The report is based
upon replies received from reliable
correspondents in all the cotton
growing states, and is considered
accurate.
A man named S. R. Dawson who
is said to have discovered the lost
art of making Damascus steel and
hardening copper, has just been
pardoned from the lowa penitent
iary by Governor Shaw. Dawson
was serving a sentence of ten years
for killing his son-in-law who mar
ried his daughter against his
wishes. He was sixty years old
when he was convicted five years
ago, and was pardoned on a pro
mise to reveal his secret to the Da
mascus Steel Cos., which was or
ganized before his incarceration,
and the company, fearing that he
would die in the penitentiary with
out revealing his secret, secured
his release.
A negro slapped a white boy’s
face in Ironton, ()., and a race riot
came very near being the result.
The negro, with another engaged
in the assault, had to be driven se
cretly to the train and carried
away to avoid serious trouble.
This is only another evidence that
while southerners are impelled to
take the law in their own hands in
cases where the most diabolical
crimes are committed, northerners
will do the same and for less of
fences when the blood is stirred.
Cartersville is waking up to the
necessity of the times and her peo
ple are getting together. Last
week only four votes were polled
against bonds for an electric light
plant. We congratulate the peo
ple of that goodly little city.—Dal

It is estimated that the repeal of
the stamp tax on checks,telegrams,
express receipts, etc., which be
came effective July ist, will mean
an annual lcxss to the government
of about $40,000,000, But what a
saving to the people it is in money,
to say nothing of annoyance.
Some literary “smarty” is now
trying to claim that a woman and
not Homer, wrote the “Odyssey,”
like some one before asserted that
Bacon and not Shakspeare wrote
certain of the latter’s works.
Near Farmington, Mo., a farmer
was struck by lightning and when
found his head was missing, hav

Texas boasts $1,620,000 in her

Five at one Time,
A few days ago a negro woman
living on Hon. D. C. Hill’s plan
tation in this county, had five chil
dren at one birth, but none of them
lived. She was married when
seventeen years old, is now twenty
six and has had fourteen children.
We do not think this record can be
surpassed.—Washington Chron

OCIETY
w w~
What is the matter with Carters
ville? Now it is almost the middle
of July and we haven’t more than
about five visiting girls in town.
What is the matter with us? Last
year from the ist of May until the
middle of September sixty girls
were welcome visitors in our little
town. We have had very few so
far, and if we are to have as many
we did last year, the latter part of
the summer will be a “rush”
season—and the dear boys will be
hard worked. Wonder what the
trouble is. We are always nice to
visitors. The young men are de
voted worshippers at the shrine of
the ‘‘V. Gs”, and yet our popular
ity as a lovely place to visit seems
to be declining. Brace up, girls,
ask the visitors back, let’s keep up
our reputation.
The glorious fourth was not cel
ebrated very extensively here. As
usual Overlook, the charming sub
urban home of the Grangers, was
the scene of much gaiety. A num
ber of beautiful fireworks, music
from the gramophone, and refresh
ments made the evening a most de
lightful one.
Yes—the fourth did receive a
little more a'tention than usual. One
little lady, who has not made her
home with us very long, possessed
but one flag, but she very carefully
hung that out and satisfied her pa
triotic soul.
The Erwin street club enjoyed a
delightful lawn fete at the home of

The families of the members of the

DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
A Chapter Organized at Adairs
ville.
Adairsville Banner.
At the Masonic hall last Satur
day afternoon a chapter of Daught
ers of the Confederacy was orga
nized by Mrs. M. L. Johnson, pres
ident of Bartow county council.
It was hoped that Mrs. J. W.
Rounsaville, of Rome, would be
present, but she could not come.
Mrs. Johnson is a splendid ex
ecutive officer, and started the
chapter off under splendid auspi
ces.
The officers? elected were: Miss
Joe Gray, president; Mrs. Joe P.
Bowdoin, ist vice president, Miss
Clara Trimble, 2nd vice president;
Miss Bessie Anderson, secretary;
Miss Jennie Combs, corresponding
secretary; Miss Dora Prichard,
treasurer.
The roll has quite a number of
names on it, and will no doubt
soon have every eligible woman in
the community as a member.
It is a high honor to be a mem
ber of this patriotic organization.
As Mrs. Johnson said at the recent
meeting, the day is not far distant
when this organization will be
looked upon as one of the highest
of honors.
The organization will be com
pleted next Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Gray’requests all who can do
so to come to this meeting at the
Masonic hall at 3.30 o’clock and
enroll as a charter member, and if
it is so you cannot come to the
meeting send your name to either
Miss Combs or Miss Gray.
You will never regret joining
and in fact we regard it as a duty
that you owe to the veterans and
the south.
