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.

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 approachable at all times, and that with his vigorous temperament would not submit to being guard ed. eURi ALL YOUR PAIRS WITH Pain-Killer.

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.

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 onion around the neck. There is 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. Mr. Caw and wife, of Euharlee, passed through our community last Sunday. Rev. Jokn McMurry. of Lin wood, was called as pastor of the Macedonia church again last Sat urday. The call was made indefi nitely, 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.

Mrs. Sallie Barron, of Anniston, Ala., is visiting relatives in our burg. 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. Dr. Hull’s l’ills for Liver Ills. One pill a dose. Box, 50 pills, 10 cts.
