In the political column of the
Atlanta Constitution, of a rent date
was an article stating that Mr.
Guerry made a speech hare and
that the county would go for Joe
Terrell, is credited to the Carters
yille News. This is an error and
the article should have been credi
ted to some other '‘News.” Mr.
Guerry has not been in Carters
vilie, and we can hardly say how
the county will go.
Of course the second girder got
up all right and Atlanta’s viaduct
was swiftly finished practicallv to
be ready for the October tair.
Pedestrians now cross it. It will
be to Atlanta what the Arcade is
to Cincinnati. Atlanta, too, is go
ing to have a soldier's day at the
fair to head off Macon on her vete
rans state gathering. All who be
lieve Atlanta is among the sloth
ful, please stand on one foot. ■
The press of this congressional
district are beginning to talk about
the next congressman and we see
some very high compliments paid
to Judge A. W. Fite. The Jira
plecute don’t know Judge Fite’s
intentions but in our opinion the
old Seventh district couldn’t send
a better representative tD congress
than Judge Fite, and if he should
decide to enter the race he will
make it very warm for any oppo
nent he may have. Me has many
friends in Murray county. —Spring

There are eight contestants
to date for the position of messen

of Georgia, made vacant by the
death of Hon. F. M. Durham, of
Bartow. The office pays $4 per

fifty days. The appointment of
the pages of the house is the only
patronage the messenger has. Fol
lowing are the candidates for mes
senger so far: Thomas R. Penn,

Congressman John W. Maddox
returned yesterday morning from
a tiftef business trip to Washing-
Mem,
Thursday morning he called at
the white house, and was at once
admitted to the reception room. In
a very few minutes the president
came in, and striding t© Judge
Maddox's side clasped his hand in
hearty greeting.
“How are you? I am glad to
see you,” said the president,
“What part of Georgia do you
represent?”
“The territory between Atlanta
and Chattanooga,” replied Judge
Maddox.
“Then Cobb county is in your
district,” President Roosevelt said
with great animation. “You are
my representative. You know my
mothei was married at Roswell.”
President Roosevelt outlined his
policy toward the south, and upon
matters pertaining to the entire
country. He seemed especially
proud of his southern ancestry,and
asked many questions about Geor
gia.
Judge Maddox says that Pres
ident Roosevelt is very cordial and

with his vigorous temperament

lINVESTICATING
DEPOT MATTER.
1
Georgia Railroad Commission Vis
its Cartersville
TO MAKE AN EXAMINATION
And Determine Whether W, Si A,
Shall Build New Depot—Action
Deferred Until 23d.
The Railroad Commission of
Georgia, composed of Col. Tom C.
Crenshaw, chairman; Judge Spen
cer R. Atkinson and Hon. Pope
Brown, came up to this city Thurs
day, 3d. The object of their
visit was to make a physical ex-
amination of the situation in re
gard to the needs of the people for
anew depot or a remodeling of the
old depot of the W. & A. railroad
at this place, and hear testimony
'from citizens and representatives
of the railroad on the question.
They were accompanied by Col.
John W. Tye, attorney for the
railroad, Maj. J. L. McCollum,
superintendent, and Mr, McDon
ald, chief civil engineer of the X.
C. and St. L. system.
After the commissioners had
looked around, and made personal
investigations with the railroad
men, they met at the court house
at 10:30 o’clock and heard testi- j
ruony.
The contention seemed to be i
about this as shown by the testi
mony of witnesses: The people of
Cartersville, through rtie mayor
and representative citizens, went
before the railroad commission on
the nth of September and asked
that the W. & A. railroad be re
quired to build anew passenger
depot in this city, something like
the ones built at Dalton and Mari
etta, to accommodate the passen
ger traffic, the present arrange
ments being in many ways inad
equate, lacking in conveniences and
comfort. Among the objections
urged by the citizens to the pres
ent arrangements is that the wait
ing rooms are often badly crowded,
that there are no conveniences,
such as toilet rooms, etc., provided;
that the side tracks being nearly
always covered with box cars and
the passenger coaches being stop
ped opposite them, causes passen
gers to have to go through a nar
row space between the cars of not
more than four feet and that by
where negroes were handling bag
gage, rendering such passing be
tween cars not only inconvenient
but dangerous. Often, too, the
tracks are flooded with water,mak
ing the situation still worse. The
freight depot, as it is.it is claimed,
is often overcrowded, and unless
freight is moved away instantly al
most, some kinds of it is plac
ed on the platform where it under
goes the risk of being damaged by
rain and otherwise.
The increased and increasing
business of both passenger and
freight traffic demands better ac
commodation.
The railroad contends that it
has been their intention for some
time to provide better accommoda
tions both for the passenger and
freight trade. They could do this
to meet the demands of the case,
as they think, by remodeling the
present depot, by cutting off fifteen
feet of the present freight room
and moving the agent’s office back,
and adding the accommodations
called for in the additional space.
Then widening the space between
I the tracks so that the passage way
| would be nine instead of four feet
| for passengers going to and from
the trains.
They asked the commission for
time to submit building plans for
the remodeling of the present de
pot.
The commission adjourned to
meet Friday morning in Atlanta,
Commissioner Crenshaw stating
that the case of the city was as
strong a one as he ever knew and
that he would immediately after
their assembling in Atbmta pre
sent a resolution requiring the
railroad to erect anew depot.
This resolution was presented and
a substitute offered by Commis
sioner Atkinson, deferring action
until the railroad could submit
plans was adopted. The matter
comes up again on the 23d,
Driving Out the Euemy.

five forks.
Your correspondent from this
place don’t feel justified in using
your space for our every day cur
rent affairs. But once in a while
extraordinary occurrences deserves
mention. Our community was
blessed by a grand religious reviv
al, at our school house for ten days
pest, ushers being needed to seat
the crowds at every service. Asa
result many sinners have turned
their faces toward the light, and
more professed Christians to a
higher sence of life and its obliga
tions. Certainly good has come to
us all. And now right on its heels
our semi-annual session of the
singing cenyention this county,
Oct. sth and 6th held with our
nearest neighbors (Cross Roads
Baptist church) has come adding
its quota of good music, charity,
brotherly love, without leaving
out, just a lot of the best all around
old fashioned country rations lever
saw spread, and good feeling and
neighboilv social intercourse
enough for everybody. Speaking
of good singing the general con
sensus of opinion as I have heard
it gives this session the banner,
eclipsing all previous gatherings of
similar character, in the memory
of any one present. The feature
of Saturday’s exercises was the
contest between the various classes.
Cross Roads class came first, led
by Prof. James Chapman. The
applause which greeted their effort
was sufficient to show that their
training and practice was well
nigh perfect.
Then came Pine L Jg class led by
Prof. G. W. Covington. This is
one of the best i our county and
they should plainly that they had
recently been drilled by a master
hand.
Third and last came a little band
of men, women and children sing
ers from our own Sunday school at
this place led by Prof. Gilreath.
The programme will be repeated
next May at Pine Log where the
convention will meet, when
prizes will be awarded the banner
class. The feature of Sunday was
one of the largest, most orderly
crowds of intelligent well behaved
God fearing people ever assembled
at tilts place. The house being so
full of women and girls that
scarcely ro*m could be retained
sufficient to accommodate enough
men to sing bass. But those who
could get near enough to hear were
surely amply repaid for any and
discomforts. I cannot help feeling
impressed (when I look in the
faces of these hundreds of people
of tne best our God has ever bless
ed with kfe and health.) with the
assurance that some who have
thought proper to criticise, and
some even denounce such gather-
ings, surely have never witnessed
the power unseen to mortal vision,
but no less surely reflected in the
visages of these hundreds of de
voted God fearing Christian men
and utomen. One thing I can as
sure them, these folks means bus
iness. These conventions are here
and here to stay. When the many
feel in their hearts that God is be
ing praised in song, n*ed the
few sv to the contrary.* We Shall
See What We Shall See. I for
one bless our Heavenly Father for
this glorious laud of freedom of
ours, and our singing conventions.
FORD.
Fred Durant, of Jacksonville,
Fla., arrived here last week, to the
delight of his many friends and
acquaintances.
Prof. J. H. Jolly, one of our
most enterprising and talented
young men, was married to Miss
Mamie Prince Fhigland. of Grant- 1
ville. Ga., on the 3d instant. After
receiving the many warm congrat
ulations, presents and hospitalities
arranged for the occasion there, he
| with his beautiful and amiable
| young bride, boarded the train for
, their pretty l'ttle home in Bartow.
| They arrived at Kingston on the
I 4th and were esorted 10 the home
! of Mr. L. D. J-ally, where a bounti
ful and luxuriant reception await
ed them together with many’ pres
ents and a goodly number of their
friends. Both of them are highly
esteemed and this community joins
with me in wishing for them a
long and happy life.
Caj t Thomas Dodd, of Texas,
made a shoit visit to this locality
recently.
The latest prescription for ward
ing off scarlet fever is to wear an

only one precaution in the using,
you must not eat the onion after
wards, as it oatehes the fever. The
above quaint idea is being prac
t;ced and is believed to be gen
uine.

We notice the government re
port on cotton is down to 61.4. and
our opinion is that they will have
to come lower yet.
The farmers of this section are
having a hard time and sore fin
gers in gathering their cotton.
It’s hard to pick. There is a kind
of wax formed in nearly every
boll which glues it fast to the
bottom.
The dews are unusually heavy
but despite this farmers don’t hes
itate, they wade in early and come
out late. The cotton must be
picked, debts paid off, and the
preacher snugly compensated for
his labor.
CASS STATION.
Miss Mountcastle, of Texas, rel
ative of Mrs. R. R. Hargis has
been visiting the family for several
weeks, and will continue her visit
for several days yet.
Master Hill Huffman, of Atlanta,
visited the family of Mr. B. F.
Posey Sunday.
Mr. Charlie Collins, of your city,
and Miss Ida Vernon took in the
singing convention at Cross Roads
Sunday and enjoyed the day very
much.
That genial little drummer, Mr.
J. D. Rogers, of Kingston, spent a
few hours at Cass last Friday even
ing. We are always glad to see
him.
Capt. R. R. Hargis spent Satur
day at home, it Deing one of his off
days on the road.

Mr. W. P. Kay took in anew
boarder last week—it’s a girl.
Mrs. C. Ringer visited Mrs. Will
Kay last week.
Miss Nellie Chitwood, of your
city, came up Sunday to visit her
sister, Miss Ruth Chitwood.
Aunt Harriett Carter died at her
home on the 30th ult. She was
oieo the oldest ladies in our burg'
being in h r 96th year. Strange
to say she never took a dose of
medicine from a doctor in her life,
and never left her home, had not
visited her nearest neighbor in
over 25 years. Her remains were
laid to rest by her husband, who
preceded her in death several years
ago.
A little child of Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Chitwood, of Stilesboro, was
brought here Sunday and interred
at the family burial ground.
Full Limits for Roundla]> Bales.
Cotton like every other commo
dity is sold to the buyer that will
pay the most money. The Ameri
can Cotton Compaay does not ex
pect to get cotton unless it meets
competition. The constantly grow-
itig demand at the mills means a
broad and steady market for every
roundlap bale made, which enables
square bale firms to buy roundlap
bales at the gins and handle them
with profit. The American Cotton
Company is perfectly willing that
they should do so, and it realizes
that if it does not pay full limits
other buyers will. As the round
.lap premium pays the baling charge
it costs the grower nothing to have
his cotton put up roundlap bales.
The advantage to the producer in
putting his cotton into roundlap
bales is easily demonstrated by a
simple calculation.
