One Year 00 Six Months 50 Three Months THURSDAY, OCT. 24, 1901. FAITHFUL. ANDCAPABLE. In the last issue of the Southern Woman was an excellent resume of the splendid work of the pres ident of the Georgia division of the United Daughters of the Confed eracy, Mrs. James A. Rounsaville. She has done much to build up the Georgia division and keep it at the highest standard. She is an en thusiastic, devoted and hard work er. Mrs. Rounsaville has most ably and acceptably represented the division in the convention of the United Daughters of the Con federacy. While she has done much good work, the crowning glory oi her tw'O fine administra tions will be the Winnie Davis Memorial Dormitary, at the State Normal School, in Athens, which she suggested and for which she has labored so untiringly. TJIK WHITE HOUSE INCIDENT One eveniug last week President Roosevelt invited a negro to dine with him at the white house and the invitation was accepted. It was a senseless blunder. We put it thus mildly because we do not believe there was anything vicious in the president’s intention or that any affront was meant to any of the people oyer whom he presides. That the negro was Booker Wash ington alters the aspect of things very little if any. The incident has caused a wave of indignation all all over the south, where the effects are sure to be felt, the press and the people speaking out in no uncertain tones. The northern press seems to treat the matter as a trifling incident, not even worthy of notice. There is little acrimony in their retorts at southern expression, but there is a stiff assumption that seems to class the act as the exercising of a personal prerogative held by any man as a matter of course. That Booker Washington did not refuse the president’s invitation is rather a surprise to people of this section, who were beginning to ac cord him credit for a level head, and he is believed to have let a splendid opportunity escape him. Other negroes, in prominent po sitions, eyen, have refused to accept such invitations, recognizing the color line in social affairs. The trouble seems to be with many northerners that they do not and will not understand the situa tion in the south. Such acts as the president’s encourage negroes to insinuate themselves into posi : tious they can never assume. The Hue is drawn firmly and irrevoca bly in the south and no kind of effort can ever change it. The white man is the social superior of the negro, and the people of the south will maintain this distinct ion at all hazards. We have believed fora long time that what would be the most effect- EMULSION OF COD-LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOSPHITES should always be kept in the house for the fol lowing reasons: FIRST- Because, if any member of the family has a hard cold, it will cure it. SECOND --7 Because, if the chil dren are, and sickly, it will make strcfeg and well. THlßDS ßecause, if the father or mother is losing flesh and becom ing thin and emaciated, it will builo them up ar.d give them flesh and strength. FOURTH - Because it is Ihr staridard remedy in ail throat a:u lung affections. No household should be without i: It can be taken in summer as wei as in winter. nu SIOO, !1 druggists. Pt, SCOTT U BoWNE, Chtnusis, dw York. Geo. S. Crouch Geo. S. Crouch It is one thing to advertise and quite an other thing to do what you advertise. To advertise to sell a horse for SSO that is worth SIOO would in most instances cause one to think there was something wrong with the horse- To advertise goods at 10c a yard that are worth 15c a yard, in most cases, are like the horse, there is something wrong with the goods. Now this store has lots of goods, as many as any store in Cartersville, and they are suited exactly to this trade, and good goods too, bought in the very best markets and bought for cash. Suppose you look around over the town and then come here and compare, and if we can’t sell you as cheap goods, quality con sidered, as you can buy, why don't buy. It won't cost you a cent and very little trouble, and we believe will save you money. You run no risk, because, ii the goods we sell you are not just what we represent them to be, you bring them back and get your money back. Geo. S. Crouch Geo. S. Crouch ual mode of adjusting things be- J tween the negroes and the whites | would be an equal distribution of the black population between the states. Here in the south the ne gro is understood and he is given friendly aid in the furthering of his every legitimate aim, and the white man is the negro s true friend, and if left to itself the south will work out the negro problem by methods mutual and rational. The northerner who knows not the sit uation looks through strained optics and through mock philanthropy thinks he can adjust things from a distance. When the matter is brought home to them they have shown they are less tol erant that the southern white. The northern people ought to inform themselves on the situation here or cease to meddle with the matter. IMPORTANT BILL. Hon. M. L. Johnson, of this county, will introduce in the legis lature two bills that will be recog nized as greatly needed measures. One of tlipse will be a bill making it an offense in law to playwith cards, dice, or balls on the Sabbath day. This law is to prevent the desecra tion of the Sabbath by any kind of gaming and to reach gamblers whom the law has been unable to reach. The other bill is for the making of assault with intent to rape pun ishable by death with power by juries to recommend to mercy. HIS TIME IS SHORT- Will Jackson Will Hang Friday Week. Will Jackson, the negro who for an assault on Mrs. Smith will hang on Friday, November ist, seems to realize his fate. There were six ministers of his color with him Monday. He maintains an even demeanor, being as cheerful as pos sible under the circumstances, Sheriff Griffin went out yester day morning and located the site for the gallows, which will be on the Land Company’s ground,about sixty yards northeast of the gun club’s pigeon trap. The law makes hangings private now and some kind of an enclosure will be erected around the place. Doctors, ministers and special [persons intended to be present will be given permits.
