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. Susan B. Anthony is endeavor ing to tell how to “manage” as well as how to “educate” a hus band. Susan might begin her recipe “first catch ’im.” DON'T WAIT.

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 ton Citizen. 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 ing been snapped from his body and disappeared. Texas boasts $1,620,000 in her treasury. Yet she will hardly hang up and go fishing. 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 icle. Your Hair “Two years ago my hair was falling out badly.

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 Maj. Smith on last Friday night. The families of the members of the club were invited, and quite a large number were present. This club has proven a great, pleasure to the members, and has been distinctly a social success. Mrs. Newnan, a charming and attractive woman from Louisville, is the guest of Mrs. Sam P. Jones.

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.
