The knocker on the door will get worn out before the ball is near ready to opeu, if candidates con tinue to amble to the front in Georgia. A gold trick is missing from an Alaska shipment. It will doubt less be returned after a temporary use by the ever thoughtful sharper as a model. The warmth with which the re publicans gratuitously claim that Gorman has been repudiated by his party evinces the fear they have of his power. The Cartersville News and Car tecsville Courant American have been consolidated under the name of the News and Courant. The consolidation makes a fine paper. —Augusta Chronicle. Warrants have been sworn out for the arrest of four police officers of Houston. Tex., charging them with the murder of J. Vaughn, of Georgia who was shot to death, after killing Policeman Weis.

It is estimated that $25,000,000 of gold from the Alaskan and Klondike fields will reach the Uni ted States before November 1, of which three-fourths comes from mines on the Canadian territory. From the first the United States mints have hauled the great bulk of gold from the arctic districts. The reunion in Cartersville next Wednesday will be the largest gen eral gathering of the veterans of the county perhaps ever held.

THE ISTKIKFi The strike of the Amalgamated Association against the United States Steel Corporation, the new billion dollar trust, is one of the biggest strikes ever known in the country. It continues without any signs of an early adjustment of differences. A conference of offi cials of the Steel Corporation and officers of the Association la-t week ended without anything being ac complished. Failure of represent atives of both sides in conference to agree makes it seem as if the contest would be continued “to the the last ditch,” and it is believed by most people that it will end in the ruin of the steel trust or the destruction of the Amalgamated Association. President Shaffer has done what he had threatened to and the of ficials of three additional corpora tions not in the first order, did not do something to bring about terms —call out a general strike on the ten days notice clause of the con stitution of the association, This last call does not seem to have been responded to as largely as was expected. There were about 45,000 men out on the first two; preliminary calls, and on the last call only about 15,000 responded, making only about 60,000 out in all. As to whether the number of strikers will increase and the strike extend to other labor organisa tions is yet to be seen. An appeal to other labor organ izations and to the public in gen eral has been made for aid and sympathy by the Amalgamated Association. The Steel Corporation men seem to have assumed a rather stiff and defiant attitude to the strikers, and are making strong efforts to carry their point by the engaging of non union men for their work. The strikers, though seemingly determ ined, have so far shown an orderly bearing as compared with the acts of participants in other big strikes of the past. The steel men claim an advan tage so far in the hesitancy of many men to quit work when or dered and the small percentage of new strikers compared to what was expected. Schwab, the president of the Steel Corporation, was Carnegie’s manager previous to his selection to his new position and the turn ing of his mills into non-union en terprises leads to the belief among many that he would not be averse to a like accomplishment for the big corporation. It is said that he will get a salary of SIOO,OOO a year with one per cent, of the net earn ings additional, which it is claimed will make his compensation a mil lion a year. Asa rule the sympathies and in terests of the people are on the side of labor, but the fair minded believe in justice and reason. The trouble has been in some instances that rash and erratic leaders have discredited the cause which they would see triumph. Millions have been the losses en tailed by the strike already and the sum may grow to many mil lions more. It is probable that the strike is the first skirmish in a giant fight between labor and the trusts, and whatever the result may be it will have its bearing on economic conditions. In congress will lie the power to do much by adopting measures to correct existing evils and allay friction. The secretary of agriculture says after personal inspection, that “the sugar beet is entirely health every where, and has withstood the drought admirably.” On the strength of this severe test sugar beet culture will attract more at tention than ever. The sugar beet is yet an untried experiment in I this region. Oscillatory exercise takes a cu rious turn sometimes. A music teacher at Taswell, Itid., who boasted that he had neyer been ! kissed by a woman, was held upon I the street by six young girls and j kissed to a standstill. He had the girls arrested for assault. The j man that would do that, well— Hon. Henry G. Turner has made a statement for the press which it is be'eived practically puts him in the race for the governor ship. He seems to eschew so early a fight as some would like to urg'e. Mr. Turner has a popular hold on the people in all parts of the state and would make a strong race.

Farmers here should appreciate the practical immunity of this sec tion of the United States fiom the insect pests that afflict other sec tions. We have the potato better, a creature coming to us from the west, but whose ravages are suc cessfully combatted with Paris green. We have the peach borer and the curculio, the cut worm and the bud worm and a few T other kindred pests that are managed all right, but the grasshopper, the army worm and such great depre dators are unknown in our land. Texas had her wheat and oats crops destroyed this season by a louse, and other western regions nave had the grasshopper, that left nothing in its train. Two years ago anew pest appeared in Texas. It is a bug known as the Mexi can boil weevil. He is supposed to haye been imported, but some of those who have investigated its origin say that it could have blown there easily. According to all those who have been trying to find some way of getting rid of the Mexican cotton eater, he is the king of them all. He leaves nothing. He multiplies faster than any of the others, and he resists those poisons which have been so successful with the cotton worm and the boll worm. He is larger than either of these. He is indifferent to weather, whereas both the others are in-, dined to be indolent when the dog days come. It makes no difference whether it is wet or dry, cool or hot, the Mexican works early and often. The government has been after him very assiduously since he first appeared but he has been too smart for all the scientists up to date. As yet the boll weevil has con fined his field of operations to Texas. He lias covered that state very thoroughly and the farmers say that when it comes to making a crop look seasick in two or three days, after he arrives he is a suc cess with a capital S. The great difference between this fellow and the others is that, while the cotton worm and the boll worm only eat choice parts of the plant, gener ously leaving the farmer some thing green to look at, the Mex ican eats stalk, boll, leaf and every thing with apparently equal zest.

Towne and Depew- When Charles A Towne was a United States senator from Min nesota for about thirty days last winter, he made ,a speech on the Philippines, and it was pronounced a, great effort, says the Philadel phia North American’s Washing ton letter. The galleries were packed with a distinguished au dience. The senate chamber was filled with lawmakers of both houses, and at the ‘conclusion of his speech Senator Towne was con gratulated by many of his col leagues. Senator Chauncey Depew was among the first to take Mr, Towire by the hand. Of course, the New Yorker didn’t believe any of the Minnesotan’s argument, for he, only a short time before, had made a speech on the same subject, but from an altogether different viewpoint. In congratulating Mr. Towne Mr. Depew said: ‘‘Senator Towne, your delivery was splendid, your rhetoric unsur passed, but your argument was damnable.” This left-handed compliment was no doubt intended to embarrass Ssn-ator Towne, but it didn’t. He bowed politely to Mr. Depew, and said: ‘‘Senator Depew, I am glad you compliment the only featuies of my speech you are capable of under standing.” This retort jolted the vertebrae of the great after-dinner speaker, and he limped off to another and more congenial section of the chamber.

THE BAPTIST MEETING. Results in Much Good Will Con tinue Through Wet k The meeting begun at the Bap tist church two weeks ago by the pastor, Rev. Alex W. Beater, stilT continues, and will last through this week. Mr. Bealer was assisted by Rev J. J. Bennett, of Atlanta, for a greater part o-f the time up to last Sunday and the zeal, earnestness and force of this popular young divine had their effects for good. Mr. Bealer’s preaching has been exceptionally strong. The truths of the gospel have not been more impressively presented in a pulpit in Cartersville for many a day, and the results of the meeting have been gratifying. There have been a number of conversions and a general awakening that will be lastingly manifest. A. C. WILLIAMS' \\ holesele ami Retail Dealer in HIGH GRADE DOMESTIC Steam ha 11 COALS PRICES RIGHT.
