The oldest inhabitant is elo
quently silent on the present wea
ther.
The great drouth in the west
has caused a great deal of talk on
the possibilities of irrigation.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun,
which is generally well poised on
public matters, like the News and
Courant; believes in conservatism
at the present state of affairs, and
says: “Conservative and thoughtful
action on the part of the democrats
everywhere is one of the greatest
needs of the party just now.”
The mosquito is a wily pest. The
suggestion to put kerosene in his
breeding place was acted on to find
him flying around as chipper as
ever with a greasy dose. But, seek
ing a glow, he touches a blaze and
explodes, as has been noticed.
There are more ways to kill the
mosquito, after all, than with a
mall, and that he is really dead is
usually satisfaction enough.

The Atlanta Constitution pays
the Cherokee circuit’s two court
officials the following high com
pliment:
“Judge Fite and Solicitor General
Maddox are deservedly popular
■with the people whose interests

in the state.”

IF FHILANTHItOPICALiIiY DIS
' I'OSKD.
The News and Courant is in re
ceipt of a letter from Prof. K. C.
Branson, of the State Noimal
school at Athens, which tells of a
number of scholarships that have
been established in that institution.
To auy citizen or citizens of Bar
tow county philanthropically dis
posed. a chance is given to pur
chase one'or a number of scholar
ships for deserving young men or
women.
Scholarships cost $75 each, and
if some benevolently disposed per-
son in the community wishes to
give some deserving young man or
woman a term at a normal school,
a better opportunity could not be
had tnan this. So far eight schol
arships have been established. The
comparatively low cost of the
scholarships is made possible
through the generosity of Mr.
George Foster Peabody, who re
cently contributed $15,000 to the
State Normal school. The pro
fessor writes he would like mighti
ly to see one or two scholarships
established in this county.

The business man will find the
News and Courant an exceptional

reach the buyer. The consolida

American gives the paper a com

found in a paper away from the
larger cities.
A number of our best firms have
seen the opportunity and have
made new contracts and others are
considering the matter of engaging

the best returns for the outlay of
any money that can be spent and
those who have found out its vir
tues as a trade producer keep it up
and would as soon think of giving
up the use of wrapping paper as to
abandon the employment of prin

The alert merchant or proprietor
of any other enterprise who wants
his share of the public patronage
will not think of ignoring the

A good strong lesson is found in
the well established fact that
whisky guzzlers and beer drinkers
are the first to succumb to sun
stroke.
In St. Louis city hospital phy
sicians have asserted that 95 per
cent, of the patients treated there
for sunstroke are users of intoxi
cants in one form or another.
While the greatest danger is to
those who have drank to excess,
the man or woman who attempts to
find relief by drinking wine, whisky
or beer, even in moderate quanti
ties, has placed his system in first
class shape for a subsequent visit
to the isolation ward.
To those accustomed to beer, a
cool glass of the beverage affords
temporary relief and nothing more.
It exhilarates the blood to an ac
tion that'is nothing less than un
healthy when the sun is hovering
around the 100 mark. It is a shock
to the system. Moral consider
ations aside, the physical harm of
intoxicants should act as an effect
ual deterrent.
The Republic cites the fact that
there are plenty of substitutes, the
best of which is water. Ice-cold
water used in quantities is almost
as harmful as beverages with an
alcoholic basis. For men who are
exercising, lemonade is found to
stimulate thirst. Cool water, not
cold, with a little oat meal soaked
in it has stood the test on all occas
ions. It may not taste as pleasant
as some of the more popular drinks,
but it at least has the basis of com
mon sense which should govern
every hygienic consideration in
the summer time.
If the south Georgia people are
really in earnest about wanting to
furnish the next governor, why is
it they cannot all unite on some
good solid citizen to offer the state
as a candidate, a man who is broad
in his views, able, honest and cap
able, a statesman who would grace
the position with dignity and be an
honor to his constituency? Such
a man could be found in Hon. K.
G. Turner, of Brooks, a southerner
who went higher in national legis
lative councils than any man from
the south since the war —standing
second on the ways and means
committee. Don’t think of giving
us a mere politician, but give us a
statesman, a big and brainy man.
THE I’UBI.IC PL.KASEP.
The congratulatory expressions
we have heard on every hand on
the consolidation of the two papers
show that the public is pleased at
the idea of one paper for Carters
vill, where it has been repeatedly
demonstrated there is only room
for one. A hacking and slashing
at prices, necessitating poorer ser
vice, in consequence of a crowded
field; necessarily small jars that
arise to disturb the serenity of
things and the twisting and turn
ing to make ends meet are avoid
ed, and a broad incentive for bet
ter work obtains, so that the pub
lic in the end is benefitted by the
more desirable output of laboi —a
really creditable community sheer
The publishers of the News and
Courant intend to spare no effort
to give the people a good paper,
i and we ask the aid and encourage
ment of the public. Our job de
partment shall be kept amply sup
plied with the best of modern ma
terial and the best facilities at all
times employed for the best work,
and promptness shall be aimed at
in serving customers, while our
prices will continue to be as low as
good work can be obtained in any
of the larger cities.
THE CONSOLIDATION.
A Bouquet or Two From Our Friends
of the Press.
The two Cartersville papers, the
Courant American and the News,
have consolidated and in the tu
ture Cariersville will have only one
paper. We congratulate our con
temporaries upon their harmonious
union, as this will mean a better
paper for Cartersvijle and a better
business for the paper.—Summer
ville News.
The News and Courant, Carters
ville’s new consolidated paper,
promises to be one of the best
weeklies in the state, as it should
be, —Adairsville Banner.
Schley Court of Inquiry.
Chattanooga Times,
The climacteric insult and slan
der of Admiral Schley contained
in the third volume of the Maclay
naval history, while it aroused the
indignation of the friends of the
gallant officer, has had the very
satisfactory effect of forcing an
official inquiry into the facts con
nected with the Santiago campaign.
The unfortunate controversy be
tween the friends of Admiral
Schley and Admiral Sampson over
the responsibility for the destruc
tion of the Spanish fleet has so be
fogged the public mind that out of
the mass of partisan statements,
oftentimes abuse and rancorous
and splenetic innuendo of one or
the other of these distinguished na
val officials, it has been absolutely
impossible to reach a fair and judi
cial opinion. The insulting epi
thets applied to Admiral Schley by
the creature Maclay were so re
volting and so out of harmony not
only with what the nation had
been informed were the facts, but
so inconsonant with that high and
honorable professional courtesy
supposed to obtain markedly be
tween officers of the army and
navy, that the department has
wisely determined upon an impar
tial inquiry into the facts, and to
that end has appointed a fair and
honorable court with Admiral
Dewey at the head, and to which
will be given the widest latitude in
securing evidence and collecting
proof.
We believe that this action of
the secretary of the navy should
give universal satisfaction, and it
is to be hoped now that the already
fierce and embittered controversy
will be stopped pending the finding
of ttie court. The public is assur
ed by the high character of men
composing the court that its pro
ceedings will be fair and as abso
lutely impartial as it is possible for
human effort to make them. The
hearing is to be public, so that all
may read and know the proof as it
is brought out and judge of its
bearing on the case, and there will
be no secret beaurocratic wire pull
ing to control the investigation.
The public will therefore be justi
fied in suspending all conclusions
as to the merits of the ill-temper
ed controversy until this high
board of impartial judges shall
conclude its labors.
Cost of the Strike-
Chicago Record-Herald.
According to an estimate made
in the Pittsburg Dispatch to the
Record-Herald yesterday the steel
strike to date had cost nearly $7,-
000,000, apportioned as follows:
TO THE COMPANIES.
American Sheet Steel.. $1.200,000
American Steel Hoop.. 1,680,000
American Tin Plate.,... 1,080,000
Total $3,960,000
TO THE MEN.
Fifty thousand men for
Twenty - five thousand
men for twenty-four
days (since July 1).. 900,000
Total $2,70®,000
Grand Total 6,660,0®0
It must be evident to the least
initiated that the only figures in
this estimate entitled to credence
are those that give the losses of the
men. Here the data is definitely
known. So many men idle at $3 a
day for twelve days and so many
for twenty-four days is easily cal
culated. The result, $2,700,000,
therefore approximates the loss to
the strikers.
But there i no such positive
data by which to estimate the
losses of the companies. Here all
is s'elf-evidetP guesswork. All the
companies have lost is the profits
they might have made during the
time their works are shut down.
They have saved the wages not
paid to the strikers, and when they
resume work they can catch up to
their orders.
The strikers can nevei get back
the $2,700,000 in wages which they
surrendered in the effort to union
ize all the steel mills in the coun
try.
GAY BOSTON GIRLS-
Garbed in Red Bathlng Suits, They
Drove Through Streets,
Brant Rock, Mass., July 28. —A
party of eight Boston girls, in
bright red bathing suit*, perched on
an ice wagon, created a sensation
here yesterday, but indignation
among the villagers in even greater
than last year when summer girls
in bathing suits went post office
for their mail.
The young women, who are
spending the summer months in
Duxbury, started to walk here yes
terday afternoon. The suits were
cut in the latest pattern, with red
stockings, kid slippers with French
heels and colored shoestrings. The
young women met an ice wagon
and took seats on the canvas that
covered the ice, protecting it from
the rays of the sun, and proceeded
to make things lively for the ice
man, who was the object of many
remarks from persons whom he
met.
“ How’d you like to be the ice
man?” yelled the small boys along
the road.
Arriving here they drove through
the square, but the iceman got
such a broadside of remarks that
he dumped his fair load. The
girls in red were not to be dismay
ed. “Let’s have some ice cream,’’
said one, and all pushed into the
Ocean House. The girls in the
scanty bathing suits drew trade as
an old Brant Rock fisherman draws
pearch from the water off Hewitt’s
Point, and the business that after
noon was the best of the season.
Two or three persons tried to
take snap shots at the young wo
men, but they would not allow that.
They were taken home from here
by a young man in an express
wagon.
