One Year . ..£1 <lO Hi* Month* so Three Month* <5 THURSDAY, AUWUHT 1, 1901. 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. ■1 ; 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 they have in charge and rank among the ablest judicial officers in the state.” AS TO SI ltS< KII'TIONS All subscriptions due to the News and to the Courant Amer ican as separate newspapers are now due to the News and Courant. We wish to get all old matters squared up as soon as possible, and would urge that all who are due anything on these old subscrip tions call t and settle or send in the amounts due by mail. 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. liE ALiKKT FOB BUSINESS. The business man will find the News and Courant an exceptional ly fine medium through which to reach the buyer. The consolida tion of the News and the Courant American gives the paper a com bined circulation such as is rarely 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 space.

GERMAN KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau St., New York. of advertising judiciously done to the average business. It brings 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 ter’s ink. The alert merchant or proprietor of any other enterprise who wants his share of the public patronage will not think of ignoring the newspaper. BKTKMPKKATK 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. Hows This?
