KL
Cassville Lodge Will Entertain Ma
sons of County May 27th.
Adairsville Banner. •
The county Masonic convention
will meet this year with Cassville
lodge Friday, May 27th.
This mfeeting will be the best in
the history of the convention. Hon.
M. L. Johnson, of Cassville lodge,
will deliver the address of welcome,
and the master of the coovention
will request some one to respond.
This formality will begin a day of
informaiity that will be enjoyed by
all present.
Masonry in the county was never
in better condition. The lodges
are all alive and doing work. The
fraternity now numbers more than
300 members in Bartow, with good
officers and regular attending ijiem
bers. The advance has for the
past year been steady and positive.
Cassville’s hospitality is prover
bial. and on this occasion will be
more pronounced, if possible, than
ever. They will, on the day of
the convention, be out en masse,
and feed the multitude from their
abundance, beneath the shade of
her historic oaks, with a picnic
dinner such as few communities
know how to prepare.
We bid all Masons who wish to
enjoy a day of Masonic rest and
instruction to attend. Meyerhardt,
Smith, Akin and others will be
present, besides work by a selected
team will be done.
The three principal officers of
the convention are Joe P. Bowdoin,
Master; L. P. Gaines, S. W.; W. H.
Lumpkin, J. W.; W. C- Walton,
Cartersville, Secretary.

insufferable agonies from Asthma,

after effected a complete cure.”

Trains From Birmingham to Atlanta
Through this City-
WILL USE W. & A. TRACK-
Tw Trains Dally Will Run Each
Wav When Short Link
Is Completed.
Birmingham News.
It is stated in railroad circles
that before the end of tie year
Birmingham will have two new
lines to Atlanta and both will put
on passenger trains, making three
lines in all direct between Bir
mingham and the Georgia city.
The Seabord Air Line, as is known,
expects to complete the work now
going on between Atlanta and
Birmingham by the coming fall
and ttains will be put on at once.
No time is being lost in the work,
notwithstanding the appointment
of a receiver for one of the larger
contracting firms on the w'ork.
The other line to Atlanta will be
via the Birmingham Mineral to
Altoona, in Blount county, thence
on the North Alabama Railroad
to Attalla, thence Alabama Mineral
from Attalla to Duke, thence on
East and West, which belongs to
the Seaboard, to Cartersville, Ga.,
and thence to Atlanta on tracks
of W. &A.R. R. The last named
route, via Altoona, etc., is the
property of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company and
that company has trackage or
wheelage contracts with the Sea
board Air Line Railroad over the
East and West road to Cartersville,
Ga.
The work between Altoona and
Attalla has been greatly delayed,
the job being a more difficult one
than was at first thought it would
would be. A large tunnel is being
constructed and this has had some
effect in the delay occasioned.
On tomorrow the board of
directors of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company is to
be in Birmingham. An inspection
of the work between Altoona and
Attalla will be made, as there is
much interest taken in this con
struction. It is understood that
the directors have considerable
concern in this r.ew work and are
anxious to see it completed as
rapidly as possible.
A prominent official of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
in Birmingham did not deny the
statements made above that the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
would run trains between Bir
mingham and Attalla and thence
Atlanta. It was stated by men
who had heard of the discussion
as to the new route into Atlanta
that the Louisville and Nashville
would have two trains a day in
each direction. The schedule
would be arranged so as to give
the traveling public as much con
venience as they could ask for in
service between the two points. It
is believed that good time can be
made on the new route and that a
territory would be reached, espec
ially between Birmingham and
Duke, which can be worked up to
the best interest of both sections.
With the Southern, Seaboard
and Louisville and Nashville
Railroad running passenger trains
between Birmingham and Atlanta,
it is possible that by the first of
next year Birmingham and Atlanta
will have no less than six trains
daily each way.
The Puloiteer in Politics-
The Rev. Abner Daniel, of Tex
as, is a very good type of the po
litical pulpiteers that are not only a
disgrace to their cloth but a nui
sance to the country, says the New
Orleans States.
In opening the Texas republican
convention a few davs ago he said
in his prayer: ‘‘One favor, O Lord,
we must ask of Thee is don't let
your party be defeated this year.”
Here we have it announced on the
authority of the Rev. Mr. Daniel
that the republican is the Lord’s
party, but in view of the wholesale
stealing which has been going on
in the postoffice department, the
interior department and other de
partments of the government a
great many people will be forced
to the conclusion that the Lord
has found Himself in very bad
company.
GARTERS VILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1904.
DECLAMATION CONTEST.
Pupils of High School Contsst
for Place.
Thirty pupils of the high school
contested before a large audience at
the opera house last Saturday
morning for speaker’s place in the
state declamation contest which
will take place in Atlanta Friday,
May 6th.
Those who contested were Lillie
Akin, Mary Lou Milner, Susie
May Price, Lottie May Menkee,
Nellie Menkee, Rebecca Knight,
Katie Hannon, Clifford Laramore,
Freeman Puckett, J. V. Marshall,
Lindsey Fite, Doak Proctor and
Frank Matthews.
The judges for this occasion
were Prof. W. J. Noyes, of Ac
worth, Prof. Ralph Newton, of
Adairsville, Prof. Jesse Jackson,
of Stilesboro, Prof. P. C. Car
michael, of Euharlee.
All of the contestants did re
markably well and in making the
announcement that the committee
had awarded the speaker’s place to
Doak Proctor, Prof Noyes, of
Acworth, complimented them very
highly upon their recitations and
speeches.
Doak Proctor, the successful
contestant, is a pupil of the second
grade of the high school, and his
classmates predict for him the
same success which captured the
medal for Cartersville in the last
state contest.
THE PRIMARY ELCTION.
Heavy Vote Polled Throughout
the County Yesterday.
The white primary election for
state and county officers was held
throughout the state yesterday.
In Cartersville very little inter
est was taken in tie state ticket,
but the local candidates and their
friends were hard at work around
the polls throughout the day, and
in a nood natured way pulled for
votes.
There was no disturbance of any
kind and the day passed off very
quietly.
As the managers do not think
they will be able to finish the
count until late Thursday evening,
The News and Courant will be
unable to give the full returns in
this issue. The registration lists
show thirty-five hundred voters
qualified to vote, and the vote
throughout the county was heavy.
CHE ROKEEPRESBYTE RY.
Meets With the Presbyterian
Church in Cartersville-
The Cherokee Presbytery will
meet with the Presbyterian church
in Cartersville on Wednesday,
April 27th, next week.
The Presbytery is composed of
all the Presbyterian churches of
northw r est Georgia from Cobb to
Dcde county, and about forty dele
gates will attend the meeting.
The first service will be held on
Wednesday night and the sessions
will continue daily through Satur
day.
The delegates will be entertain
tained at the homes of our people,
but the assignments have not yet
been made, and we are unable to
give the list this week.
Everybody is cordially invited
to attend these meetings at the
church.
The English "Society tor the
Prevention Consumption” presided
over by the Prince of Wales, was
recently addressed by Sir William
Broadbent, who stated that it v.’as
definitely known that every case
of consumption began with a germ
communicated from some other
case. There is no such thing as
inherited consumption, but the
germ has absolutely to be planted
in that weak spot before consump
tion can ensue. This ought to
comfort thousands of people who
have “weak chests” or ‘‘weak
lungs.” They are not foreordain
ed victims of this dread disease.
All that is needed to bid absolute
defiance to this deadly scourage, is
to be able to strengthen the weak
lungs, and build up a strong body.
The answer to this need is found
in Dr. Pierce’s Medical Discovery.
It so purifies the blood and
increases the blood supply, that
disease is thrown off, and the weak
organs are nourished into perfect
health, which defies germs of every
kind. People, given up bv doctors
emaciated, bleeding at the lungs,
with obstinate, lingering coughs,
are being cured every day by the
use of “Goluen Medical Discovery.”
It is strictly temperance medicine
containing no alcohol, whisky or
other intoxicant.
MORE COTTON NEEDED.
Demand fop Cotton Greater Than
thfc Supply at Good Prices.
Hon. Richard H. Edmonds,
editor of the Manufacturers
Record, of Baltimore, in an inter
view iu the Atlanta Constitution,
on the cotton situation, says:
MOKE COTTON NEEDED.
"Tile world needs a very great
increase in the growth of cotton.
The aim of this section should be
to raise more cotton and better cot
ton tb meet the increasing con
sumptive requirements, for it is
hardly possible that for some years
we shall be able to make a larger
crop than is actually needed at
good price. We ought to look
forward to 15,000.000 bales as a
necessity within a few years or
else the world will practically face
a cotton famine. The cotton
question is not sectional only; it
is not national only, hut inter
national. The measure of a nations’
civilization may be gauged by its
cotton goods consumption, and
that industry, possibly the greatest
in the world, when considered in
all its ramifications, would be
seriously menaced should Luc
growth of the cotton crop not be
materially increased during the
next few years. Hence the ques
tion raised by Sully of a deterior
ation of seed and the equally im
portant question of how to increase
the labor supply are of world-wide
interests, These are questions
which might very profitably be
investigated without regard to cost
by the national government. In
such an investigation New Eng
land and the west are as deeply
concerned as the south. The cot
ton problem is one fraught with
tremendous importance for upon
an adequate supply of cotton
depends the financial stability of
our country and the prosperity of
New England and the west as well
as the prosperity of the south.
HANDLING THE CROP.
The attention of the whole south
should now center upon increas
ing its cotton crop, upon the prob
lem of increasing its labor supply
by bringing in foreign immigrants,
upon improving the quality of the
cotton seed, upon the enrichment
of the soil hy better methods and
upon the better picking, ginning,
compressing and handling of cot
ton. The great wastage in bad
handling, representing a loss of
many millions annually to the
south, should be done away with.
It is folly to cling to the methods
a century old, for surely there
must be mechanical skill enough
in this country to devise some
picking machine, some improve
ment over the destructive saw gin
and some practicable method of
baling cotton at the gin house
ready for final shipment or e'xport.
Here is a field worthy of the energy
and skill of the greatest inventors
and worthy of the energy and
capital of the greatest business
leaders of fhe world of commerce
and industry. But even then cot
ton ought not to sell for less than
10 cents a pound, for Sully and the
bull leaders will still give the bears
a hard fight and natural conditions
are on the bull side ”

of need. His wife had such an
unusual case of stomach and liver
trouble physicians could not help
her. He thought of and tried Dr.

relief at once, and was finally cured.
