The late Bill Harris once said of it

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.

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. The pressmen of those
placid days would gaze in bewil
derment at the modern machinery
of a large publishing house, with
its electrical appliances and its
tremendous capacity .thinks the St.

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 ■

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,

ASURPRISE MARRIAGE..
Miss Coralette Beall and Mr. S. R.
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.

again in 2.21, but the 3rd heat he
went lame and for six consecutive
heats he had a struggle to save his

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. To-dav
at 3:30 o’clock the bureau ther
mometer at the highest point in
the city showed 106 degrees, while
thermometers in the business dis
tricts on the streets reached as
high as 128. 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

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.
