Some of them will do well to ascape being frost bitten. It is proposed that Dewey be sent to represent America at the coronation. A man who is re ported to have gone down before that Savannah artillery punch might not be a safe one for such a mission. But, artillery punch would knock out the best of them. The late Bill Harris once said of it “it is stronger than it looks. " Public spirit is what moves cities forward, and a few men working unselfishly for the public good can accomplish things so great that it will startle even themselves. To a common purpose, harmonious work and a steady pull for the best ends is attributable mostly the growth of those towns which have leached a point of importance. Columbus has been called the Dowell of the South because of its great water power, which it is said would move as much manu facturing machinery as Dowell’s would. She is developing her nat ural resources in a way that pre mises to make her a large and pros perous city. Cartersville has near it one of the finest water powers in the United States and some day it I is hoped will be seen large indus tries whose power is furnished by the never slothful Ktowah. All swelter, many perspire and some swear a little over the warm weather here, but when we com pare the heat here with other j places we ought not to complain. Just think of people in northern Russia having to endure a tem perature of 130 to 150 for more than a month. In New York City the asphalt streets have been melt >ed. While the thermometer has stood over a month from 100 to 108 people in Nebraska have taken to dwelling in caves and cellars, Get a fan and be contented. Col. B. F. Sawyer, a Georgian well known lor his connection with the pr£ss, his inventive gen ius and hif career as a soldier of the civil war, died at his home in Atlanta last Friday at the age of 68. He was best known as a jour nahst and few men in Georgia ever wielded a readier or more facile pen. His writing was caustic, while genteel, his expressions al ways forceful and direct. He edi ted papers in Rome, Atlanta and Savannah and wrote several catchy serials. He was as modest as he was courageous, high minded and generous and his intimates knew him as a man whose heart beat with highest impulses. He was colonel of the 24th Alabama in the war. . An elderly, blind white horse used to furnish the power that drove some of the presses at Har per & Bros, in the early thirties of the last century, In those days publishers, like the rest of the world, were not so much in a burry as they are now. The old horse was humanely' chosen for his blindness, as his work was to be performed in a cellar; and there he spent the remainder of his life and died an honored member of the firm.

New York. tIuBIGNON OUT. Hon. Fleming G. dußignon, on account of his It abb. cttliioto run for governor. At this stage of the game, fifteen months before the election, such an announce ment from any man might be taken ordinarily as a rather suppositious flourish of personality, but Mr. du- Bignon’s prominence in the part}’, his long and unselfish service and the repeated mention of his name for the position make his an nouncement altogether regular and proper. That Mr. dußignon would have had a strong following in the race goes without saying. He meas ures up in ability with the best in the state Asa state senator and president of the senate lie earned a splendid reputation, as a lawyer he has been regarded among the foremost and as chair man of the state democracy he has shown excellent poise, discern ment and judgment. A great deal of the credit for the large vote of the democracy in the last cam paign was due to his efforts. A great many have thought of Mr. dußignon in connection with the senatorship, because of his up to-date knowledge on public quest ions and his commonly admitted statesmanship. But among his closer friends it lias been known for some time his ambition was, first at least,tile governorship. That he would have graced the guber natorial chair does not admit of denial. As it is,it is hoped his claims will only lay in abeyance, for, if his health is restored, which his admirers in Georgia hope for, he will undoubtedly yet be called to such public service as his state needs and his merits entitle him to. Mr. dußignon’s declination has caused the regular assurances of other candidates that they are in the race. Georgia has plenty of good material and the people want an able man to fill that im portant station. It is hoped that one who will properly illustrate our glorious and prosperous state will be chosen. The south leads in railroad buil ding, as well as along many other industrial lines. During the six months ending June 30 there were 1,818 miles ef track laid in the United States. Of this 1,275 miles were laid in the south, against 543 miles in all other sections of the country. It is noted, too, that southern roads were never in so good a physical condition, and were never handling so much bus iness or making so much money. THE NEED OTCOJiSEItVATISM. If there ever was a time when the democratic party needed the benefit of conservative thought and action it is now. “It was you that did it,” “you’re another,” and a general shaking of fists is not op portune if we expect to accom plish anything. Among the great secrets of the success of the republicans has been their sticking together, their cour age in directly defining themselves and their everlasting boasts of be ing for the stability of our govern mental structure and the solidity of our commercial fabric. To the knowing, their boasts are the emp tiest of pretenses, but they have so impressed the masses as to make a large per centage believe them. The democratic party has al ways been the party of the consti tution. It has a record of glorious devotion to the rights of the peo ple. It has had a few. rebuffs that were sufficient, seemingly, to destroy its life, but it has risen and come forth again in grandeur and power and is, to-day, as potent tor action and noble ac ■ ANOTHER BIG SCOOP We have just closed out a big line of dimities, Bat tiste, lawns, &c., from a big wholesale house in New York at less than one half their value. . They are like we, rather than carry them over they will take most any price, so we bought a big line,which is expected to arrive daily. We will place the entire line on the market at less than half price the very day they arrive. Watch for them at -JUIIEI GRIFFIN 8s CO. New Shipment of “■WALK OVER” SHOES JUST RECEIV6D.

With its forces martialed harmoniously and issues such as will inspire purpose, accomplishments for the future as great as those of the past are pos sible. Good politics is made up of concessions, and there must be a giving as well as taking, from one side s well as the other. Factions will be but myths if judicious con sideration shall be given and fol lowed by judicious action. C. C. Fitzmorris, a school boy 17 years old, sent by W. R. Hearst with two others, has just gone around the earth, accomplishing the journey of 20*543 ni iles in ex actly sixty days, 13 hours and 29 minutes. The time includes delays and stops equal to six days. This lowers the record of Nellie Bly and others. THE NEWS AND COURANT Some Things Said by Our Friends ofthe Press about Consolidation. The Courant-American and the News, Cartersville’s two papers have consolidated and appeared last week as the News and Cour ant, and a bright future is pre dicted for the paper,— Ringgold New South. The two Cartersville papers, after a cut-throat business for a year or so, have consolidated, and will be run as the News and Cour ant. Messrs Freeman and Chap man will conduct the paper and Mr. A. M.“ Willingham will go to Washington City. We wish our friends success. They are good newspaper men and will be better able now to give the people of Cartersville a better paper.— Marietta Journal. The two Cartersville newspapers have wisely consolidated, and the new paper is known as the News and Courant. The Tribune re ceived a copy of the paper Satur day. It contained twelve pages and is a fine paper. —Rome Tri bune. We congratulate otir neighbors upon the consolidation of the Car tersville Courant American and the Cartersville News under the name of the News and Courant. One real, live, progressive paper is better for the people and county at large and all concerned than two fairly good papers.—Canton Ad vance. The two Cartersville papers have consolidated. This a wise step in our opinion and will prove mut ually beneficial to all concerned. It is a good field for one up-to-date newspaper.—Dallas New Fra. The Cartersville News and the Courant American have consoli dated and will appear hereafter as the News and Courant, the editors being D. B. Freeman and H. A, Chapman with A. M. Willingham as corresponding editor. We ex pect to see an excellent paper got ten up by this crew, for they have experience and ought to know how to guide the editorial craft. —Ac- worth Post. A Good Cough Medicine It speaks well for Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy when druggists use it in their own families in prefer ence to any other. “I have sold Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for the past five years with complete satisfaction to myself and custom ers'” says Druggist J. Goldsmith, Van Etten, X. Y. “I have always used it in my own family Ik tb for ordinary coughs and colds and for the cough following la grippe, and find it very efficacious.

Wright Married near Ringgold. Miss Coralette Beall, who was recently the guest of Mrs. J. E. Mays, returned to her home in Ringgold on Mouday of last week, and was married the following day. The Ringgold New .South contains the following account of the marriage. The picturesqueness of Ringgold must in some way be conducive to romantic marriages, for Tuesday afternoon records another one to the list already numerous. About 2 o’olock p. m. Mr. Sel mau R. Wright and Miss Coralette Beall went for a drive in the direc tion of Catoosa Springs. Little did the friends of these popular young people think they had matrimonial intentions and that the papers authorizing their marriage were in Mr. Wright’s possession. Such was the case, however, and coming to the resid ence of Rev. A. L. Stulce, a Bap tist minister, they found that he w r as away from home. Driving along the Keith road about 4 o’clock they met the desired min ister as they drove down a steep descent, and stopping made known their request which was at once granted with only the three indi viduals, the fluttering foliage, singing birds and God above for witnesses. Mr. and Mrs. Wright returned to Ringgold and soon made known the happy fact and received the blessings of their par ents and congratulations of friends. ■‘Peck” 2-19 1-4 Wins 3rd Money. Cleveland, 0.. July 18, 1901. 111 the 2.20 pace for $500.00 purse “Peck’s Bad Boy’’ started in a large field of horses. It proved one of those guessing puzzles, tak ing eight heats to land a winner in same and proving, conclusively, that the race is not won until the last heat is paced. "Peck’s Bad BO3V’ 2.19 TANARUS, driven by Mr. Geo. G. Stiles, opened the game by show ing his field the way around the “oval,” and winning the heat in 2.17 b The 2nd heat “Peck” won again in 2.21, but the 3rd heat he went lame and for six consecutive heats he had a struggle to save his place, money already won, for the field took* a hand in capturing a heat occasionally and not until the eighth heat was paced was a win ner of the race returned.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN- By the Heat at Kansas Clty-Ther mometer on Streets up to 128 Kansas City, Mo., July 2 ?-a veritable hot blast literally scorch ed the southwest to-day,' breaking all heat records in the history 0 f the local weather bureau. Yester day Kansas City experienced the hotest weather ever known here the government thermometer regis’ tering 104 and remaining above the 100 mark for seven consecutive hours. Twenty-four prostrations and nine deaths resulted.

The thermometer at Ba. m. registered 90, was ior at noon and at 3 p. m. broke the rec ord at 104.6. Hardly a breath of air stirred. The suffering was in tense especially among persons compelled to work out of doors and the poor districts iti the bot toms. Seven deaths from prostra tion were reported during the day in Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City. Kan., and over 30 people overcome by the heat were treated. This makes the total deaths for the two days sixteen. Most of the vic tims were elderly people. The highest previous tempera ture in the history of the Kansas City weather bureau was 103 in August, 1896, but it only remained near that point for one day. To day is the thirty-second day in suc cession on which the temperature has averaged above 90 degrees and the fifteenth time with the ther mometer above 100. In Des Moines, lowa, the tem perature officially reported to-day was 108; in Springfield, 111 , 108; in Cincinnati, 106, and Douisville, 105.2, in each case breaking all previous records. In Indianapolis it was 106, five degrees higher than ever before reported. 111 St. Douis it was 106; Omaha, 104; Bismarck, N. D., io*, ’ nd Con cordia, Kan., 102. 111 the east Boston reported a temperature of 94 degrees, New York, 90; Philadelphia 98. and Washington, 93. Unnecessary Loss of I ime. Mr. W. H.S. Whetlon, Cashier of the First National Bank of Winter set, lowa, in a recent letter gives some experience with a carpenter in his employ, that will be of value to other mechanics. He says: "I had a carpenter working for me who was obliged to stop work for several days on account of being troubled with diarrhtea. I men tioned to him that I had been simi larly troubled and that Chmnber lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy had cured me. He bought a bottle of it from the druggist here and informed me that one dose cured him,and he is again at his work.” For by Hall and Greene, Druggists. A Romance of the Wheat Pit The Find of the Deal is the title of an unusually good business se rial story which is to begin in an early number of The Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia. A famous transaction on the Chicago board of trade is the basis upon which the author, Mr. Will Payne, has founded this striking romance of the wheat pit. A charming love story runs through the stern and stirring plot. “C. C. C.” on Every Tablet. Every tablet of Cascarets Candy Cathartic bears the famous C. C. C.
