AN OPPORTUNITY.
Cartersville has a magnificent
opportunity to augment her
growth in the new proposed fur
nace enterprise. The News and
Couraut knows nothing that would
bring so many material benefits to
the city as an iron furnace, likely
to grow into a mammoth iron and
steel plant.
The projectors do not ask any
money from our people, but only
a site, rights and privileges, etc.
It looks like the expectations
might be easily met. We hope
the committee appointed will find
things as favorable as they could
wish and that efforts made will
crystahze into a sturdy assurance
of such help as will make matters
secure.
The dispensary question which
will be submitted to the voters of
Floyd county next month, is de
veloping considerable feeling be
tween those who advocate and
those whooppose the measure. The
editor of the Tribune and Hon.
Seaborn Wright, author of the
vetoed sta e (i j ensary bill are
using vigorous English in their
utterances.
It was anew cure. A burglar
strayed into a household, on mis
chief bent, recently, but the maiden
of the home had lingered in the
parlor after the departure of her
beau. She gave a few wild thumps
on the piano. It was enough, and
burglarizes frequent before, have
never been heard of since in the
locality.
It now seems certain that this
government will demand repara
tion irom Bulgaria, ana it may be
Turkey, for the retention by brig
ands in the Bulgarian mountains
so long of Miss Stone, the mission
ary, to force the payment of a
ransom.
Repairing
Neatly
Done
Never thought of such a
sign for a medicine did you ?
Well, it’s a good sign for
Scott’s Emulsion. The body
has to be repaired like other
things and Scott’s Emulsion is
the medicine that does it.
These poor bodies wear out
from worry, from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some of the new
ones are not well made —and
all of the old ones are racked
from long usage.
Scott’s Emulsion fixes all
kinds. It does the work both
inside and out. It makes soft
bones hard, thin blood red,
weak lungs strong, hollow
places full. Only the best ma
terials are used in the patching
and the patches don’t show
through the new glow of health.
No one has to wait his turn.
You can do it yourself—you

NAVAL FIGHT IN PANAMA BAY
Insurgent and Government W*r
shlds In Battle at Close Ranee.
Colon. Columbia, Jan. 20 (via
Galveston). —A naval battle, which
began at 6 o’clock this morning,
is in progress in the harbor of
Panama.
The revolutionary fleet consists
of the steamers Padilla, Darlcu and
Gaitan. They are trying to force
a landing off Sacana.
The government ships are the
Chilian line steamer Lautaro, the
Pacific Steamer Navigation Com
pany’s steamer Chicuito, and the
Panama Canal Company’s steamer,
Boyaca. The first named steamer
was seized by Gen. Alban, and the
other two have been chartered by
the Colombian government.
As this dispatch is sent three
shots have just passed over the
Chicuito and she has answered
with several shots. They fell close
to the Padilla, which is seen to be
retiring.
The guards at Las Bovedas are
also firing at the rebel ships The
government forces are throwing
up entrenchmeuts.
The United States cruiser Phila
delphia is close to the scene of the
fighting.
Washington, Jan. 20. —The state
department has received the fol
lowing cablegram from Consul-
General Gudger, dated Panama,
today:
“Fighting in bay. Governor
killed. Excitement great.”
The secretary of the navy has
received the following cablegram
from Capt. Mead, commander of
the United States ship Philadel
phia, dated Panama today:
“The insurgent steamer Padilla
attacked the Lautaro yesterday
morning at close quarters. Crew
has deserted her. Is now on fire
and sinking.”
New York, Jan. 20. —The Pan
ama Railway Company today re
ceived a cablegram from Colon
saying that three insurgent and
two government vessels had been
sunk in the naval engagement in
Panama harbor. The cablegram
came from Col. J. R. Sha'er, gen
eral superintendent at Colon for
the Panama Railroad Company.
GEN. CARLOS ALBAN KILLED.
Panama, Jan. 20. —Gen. Carlos
Alban, the military commander of
this district, and the governor of
Panama, was killed during the
fighting this morning. His death
is deeply deplored, for Gen. Alban
was loved by his soldiers and en
joyed the esteem of the commun
ity.
It is asserted that the death of
the Colombian leader may have
the effect of bringing to the gov
ernment side large numbers of
men anxious to avenge h s loss.
Some of the men kill< and on board
the government ship Lautaro have
been brought ashore, where they
are being buried.
The Lautaro is on fire. The
revolutionary gunboat Darien, as
this dispatch is wiilten.is approach
ing the United States cruiser Phil
adelphia in the harbor, probably
for the purpose of a conference.
The firing has ceased.
It is impossible to locate the
revolutionary gunboats Padilla
and Gaitan. The crew of the
Philadelphia is assisting to put out
the fire on board the Lautaro.
It is reported on shore that the
firing on the Lautaro is the result
of treason
Later. —The Lautaro lias just
sunk. It is expected here that her
crew rebelled. It is expected that
the Padilla surptised the Lautaro
at the beginning of the fight this
morning, and began shooting at
close range. Many men on board
of the Lautaro were killed.
The launch lias just left here to
obtain details of the fighting. The
slow movements of the Padilla,
which are noticeable from the shore,
lead to the belief that she has been
damaged.
The government gunboat Boyaca
has just moored to the dock here
She brings troops from Chiriqui.
She reports that the revolutionary
steamers Fadilla, Darien and Gaitan
drew off when they became aware
of her presence.
The Darien is now reported to
be in a sinking condition.

Oh. all too well, beloved, at last I know
That lor us two the parting of the

Has come and brought the morning of

Rid me good bye and loose my hand,

Before u, glowing In our last sun’s

The path slops* down, nor undivided

The path slopes down, but .separate

Henceforward, you and I alone must
fare,
Nav, look not all so sad! Was ever

A deed to merit, all that we have won
Of joy? I tell you, there are those

Is mighty on their knees that they might
bear
Our shadow, could they but have
known our sun.

Monday night at 12 o’clock
many maidens saw into the future
by the supernatural power given
on St. Agnes Eve.
By one Cartersville girl three
nuts were placed on the rims of
the grate. She named the two
end ones for the two men she liked
best, the center one representing
herself, thinking to see by the aid
of St. Agnes which cf the two she
was to marry. To her amazement
the three nuts burned up in a
flash, which interpreted, according
to St. Agues Eve, tradition says
she is to happily and speedily
marry them both.

NEW CANAL REPORT-
Commission Is Supposed to Have
Recommended Panama.
Washington. Jan. 19. —Unshaken
by the supplemental report of the
Isthmian Canal Commission, said
to be in favor of Panama route,
the supporters of the Nicaragua
bill, both in the canal commission
and in the senate, are continuing
their campaign as if no new devel
opments had occurred.
It is admitted, however, that the
new turn of events in the commis
sion may have some effect on con
sideration in the senate. The sen
timent there, as shown by the re
cent poll in The Republic, is for
the careful consideration of the
Panama offer.
The new report of the commis
sion will doubtless have a tendency
to strengthen the view of
those who have been in favor of
giving a thorough investigation of
all phases of the Panama side be
fore the final questions of route is
settled.
On those senators who, like
Senator Morgan, from the first
have stuck for the Nicaragua bill,
the report submitted to the presi
dent Saturday appears to have but
little effect. They hold that it
throws no new light on the situa
tion, inasmuch as the commission
is only supporting itself. For, in
original report, they say,there is no
doubt that the members of the com
tnision would have favored Panama
if the forty-million-dollar offer had
been made in time.
PEARS ENDLESS LITIGATION.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon, a
member of the senate canal com
mittee, said tonight that, so far as
he was concerned, the supplemen
tal report of the commission would
have no effect. Voicing the Nicar
agua sentiment in the committee,
he said:
“Assuming that the report is
true that the Canal commission, in
a supplemental report to the presi
dent, has come out flatly in favor
of the Panama route. I cannot tell
what effect it will have on the
senate committee. However, it
does not seem to me to change the
situation, and, as tor myself, my
views are not altered in any de
gree.
“I' base my objections to accept
ing the Panama Canal Company
first of all on the endless litigation
which it is likely to bring upon
the United States. I stand for an
interoceanic canal as soon as one
can be built, but it seems to me
that the obstacles in the way of
accepting the Panama offer are in
surmountable.”

OPIUM HIS RUIN.
DowwtaH *f a Pfrmsr Oevamor of
SautS Carolina.
Rotroa, Maas., Jaa. Ift. —Franklin J.
Moses ex-gYrKer of South Cdrokna,
was before Judge Esowa ia the aecaad
cession of the muaicipal criminal court
yesterday morning ch&rgod with giv
ing a check tar 550 hi payiaeoft tor aa
overcoat, said check having been
drawn oa a South Carolina bank, la
wbioto It was learned the ex-governor
had no fund*. Then again It was fur
ther lueraed that after Moses got the
coat be pawned it. His honor, the
ex-governor, met both theso claims.
Concerning the money transaetion,
he saA that at the time he gave the
check he honestly believed that there
was money in the bank to meet the
faee value. A few 4%ys after he got
the coat he learnod by letter that
there was e meny tb- *fl at oaoe
telephoned to Mr. iawoe A. Hawks*,
tho tailor, that he expected a party
from the south with money for Mb
with which he expected te gay bis
obligations.
B*Gevernor Moses thereupon gave
vest fcc a burst ef oratory as follows:
1872, when I occupied the posi
tion of chief magistrate of one of the
proaernent state* in the union, I was
driven by social ostracism, deepihe my
posttka and the counsel of men high
in public life, to seek relief in that
alone which seemed to be able to give
root to a mind ill at rest; namely, to
the use of morphine. From morphine
I took next to using opium. In fact, in
1878, the time when the Republican
party currendered the state to the op
position, I had become so addicted to
Hs influence that I could net live with
out it.”
Judge Brora then sentenced him to
Deer island for four months.

A LITTLE MONSENSE.
A Doting Father Gets Some Enlighten*
men* as to His Offspring,
John Wilson was a thrifty me
chanic with a nice hoipc, a clieery
wife and three children, the youn
gest of whom was a boy named John.
The elder John was a pious Chris
tian man, who tried faithfully not
to commit the sin of idolatry in hia
feeling for his son, but it was im
possible. He worshiped the boy.
The young John, then five years old,
was a real boy in all the term im
plies. His father was sure he was
the best that ever lived, and already
he saw him 11s a man preaching good
to all men, for that was the hope in
the elder John’s bosom.
One day when the father came
back from the shop he brought with,
him a pretty tin cup on which was
written in gilt letters, “To a good
boy.” He gave it to his son, and
the child looked up into his face
like an angel and smiled. Two days
later as John Wilson came home
ward when the day was done he was
thinking proudly of hie boy who
would meet him at the gate when
his attention was attracted by a dog
coming liokety split down the street
with a tin cup tied to his tail and
knocking ragtime out of the side
walk. Before Mr. Wilson could get
out of the way the dog dashed be
tween his legs, upsetting him into a
coal hole and piling in on top of
hifn in a tangle that was terrific.
The dog got away at last, and when
a policeman helped the bruised and
battered mechanic out of the hole
he discovered a string wound round
his leg and attached to the end of it
& tin cup which looked as if it had
been through seven wars.
“You can keep this as a souve
nir/’ said the policeman pleasantly.
“Wiyit is it?” asked John Wilson*
taking it.
“It’s a tin cup belonging to some
of them little devils around the cor
ner, 1 guess,” said the policeman,
twirling his club significantly.
The father of John Wilson, Jr.,
looked at the bat u rod tin in his
hand. In gilt letters, which he had
not forgotten, were the words, “Te
a good boy.”—Detroit Free Press.
