Build more houses and better
ones.
Hello, Fairmount, and every
body this side.
Don't pull Cartersville back. It
has been held back long enough.
Help it along or get out of the way.
Atlanta has flushed a presiden
tial candidate. Next thing you
know the city of Hot Air will cap
ture Mukden.
Hon. G, R. Hutchens covered
himself with glory in his defense
of democrary from the attacks of
Rev. Thad Pick’ett at Tallapoosa.
The Hon. R°v. Thad Pickett has
run for something on other pretty
well all over north Georgia. He
ought to be well fasted by this
time.
If the Rev. Hon. Thad had been
as successful in politics as he has
in dispensing vitrolic theology he
would have been president a long
time ago. '
Cartersville’s coraiug railway
facilities and consequent shipping
advantages will make this city one
of the leading manufacturing points
in the state.
The Rev. Hon. Thad Pickett
has been in the general roasting
business for the past thirty years.
He should not therefore be sur
prised if he happens to get a few
blisters raised on his own anatomy

The Best in Georgia.
It is natural and it is to be
expected for a county or town to
recognize its own advantages and
to exploit them. It is a common
thing for counties and communities
to claim that they lead the state in
some particular, and all of this
home pride is quite commendable.
But it is not a common thing to
have outsiders people who are
informed upon the matter and who
have no personal interest in it —to
point to your own county and say:
“There is the very best farming
county in Georgia.”
But this is just what occurred a
few days ago when a party of gent
lemen were discussing the farming
interests of Georgia in the office of
the secretary of agriculture in At
lanta. The man who made the
statement is a citizen of south
Georgia, and is thoroughly famil
iar with the farming situation all
over the state. “There.are,” said
he, “other counties which produce
more farm products than Bartow,
but what I mean is that for its
farming area there is no county in
Georgia to equal it. There are no
better lands in the south than are
to be found in its beautiful valleys,
and there is no more delightful
section to live in than is found
in north Georgia. If I had my
life to live over I would settle in
Bartow county.”
The New Counties.
Two amendments to the consti
tution will be voted next week,
which authorize the creation of
eight new counties and increase of
representation accordingly.
These two amendments should
be adopted. South Georgia has
grown so rapidly in wealth and
population that some of the very
large and unweieldy counties
should be cut up into small ones.
Let the people give the legislature
power to do so. It will help the
people as a whole.
Bob Toombs said that he wished
there was a senator for every
county and a representative ior
every militia district, because it is
so much harder to corrupt a large
body than a small one. There art
more to be influenced.
Large legislative bodies are bet
ter, more responsive to the popular
will and safer for the people.
If these amendments are adopted
there will be 183 representatives
instead of 175, as now. History
shows that corruption is more fre
quent in small than in large legis
lative bodies.
Our Greatest Need.
The supreme thing which Cart
ersville needs is a broad, liberal
and energetic public spirit. We
do not pretend to say that Carters
ville is wholly lacking in public
spirit, but we do say that it is not
sufficiently pronounced and active
for a city of Cartersville’s impor
tance and opportunities.
Any thing that is worth having
costs something. The price must
be paid in labor, in effort and in
hard cash, but the spirit which
makes great communities the
spirit which accomplishes some
thing— balks at none of these
things.
This virile, hungry, ever-doing
American spirit, working in har
mony, has dotted the western wil
derness with flourishing cities. It
has fought against the most ex
treme adverse conditions and won.
It has shown what can be done
when a body of population, how
ever small, determines to do it.
When one sees the wonderful
towns and cities which a deter
mined citizenry has built up on
the western deserts one wonders
what might happen if those same
people had possession of the
marvellous conditions surrounding
Cartersville. But it is not neces
sary to go west for object lessons.
We have plenty of them in Geor
gia. Look at Dublin, Gainesville,
Dawson, Cedartown and then—
but that is an old, old story —look
at Atlanta. It is the go-ahead
spirit displayed by these cities that
does us good to contemplate.
A spirit of quiescence and don’t
give-a-centness is the most hope
less condition which could confront
a community. Decatur, the one
time flourishing capital of the
county of DeKalb, was heavily
burdened with this kiud of spirit
when John P. King approached it
with the survey cf the Georgia
railroad and asked for terminal
privileges. Through the imbe
cility of the community, these
were not granted, and the con
struction of the road was forced
onward to a spot in the woods
called Whitehall. Today Atlanta’s
hurrying thousands come and go
where those woods once stood,
while dear little Decatur rests
peacefully iu the sleep which al
ways belongs to the dead.
Cartersville has a magnificent
collection of valuable assets. Are
we going to administer these assets
to lire best advantage, or are we
going to tet them come to naught
by failure 10 meet the situation?
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Opium,
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physi
cians, as the damage thev will do is
tenfold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney <£, u).,
Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure
be sure you get the genuine. It is takf n

THE NEWS AND COURANT, CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER £9, 1904
THE COFFEE SMOKERS.
Two old men in blue uniforms,
veterans attending the soldiers’ re
nnion, sat on a bench in Boston
Common.
“What was your hardest week 1
•during the war?" said the first vet-,
eran.
“My hardest week,’’ the other an
awered, “was the one when I had nc
tobacco. I’ll never forget that.”
He paused to light a cigar; then
he went on:
“Do you know what we all
smoked during that week? Why,
sir, we all smoked coffee. We
ground up our coffee course and
smoked it in our pipes.”
The other veteran looked inter
ested.
“How did it taste?” he said.
“Taste? Why, it tasted about
like you’d think it would.”
“Smelled good, I bet you.”
“Yes, smelled all right.”
“Any bad effect from it ?”
“Gorry, yes; took the skin off all
our tongues.” —Philadelphia Bulle
tin.
Why He Dislikes Tramps.
Governor Bachelder of New
Hampshire dislikes tramps. “One
of my first experiences with
tramps,” he said the other day, j
“happened in my early youth. On ;
a fine summer morning I was taking !
a walk through the country. The j
road was white and firm. In the j
green fields the farmers worked in !
their brown overalls. The birds !
sang in the woods, and the air was J
sweet with the scent of pine tree, 1
grass and flowers. In a lonely place
a tramp lay under a tree. He rose
on my approach and in a melan
choly tone he told me a.hard luck
story and asked for alms. I gave
him some small change, and then I
said encouragingly, ‘Down there on
the left, my friend, there is a farm
er who Wants men to help him
thrash wheat.’ ‘Thankee, sir,’ said
the tramp, turning to the right.
‘Thankee. I might have gone down
that way accidental like/”
R*fuMd Hi* Own M*diein.
A noted surgeon of this city was
recently attacked by appendicitis.
This surgeon performed last year
800 operations and lost but two, but
when he was told that he had to be
operated upon he objected, although
the operators were also noted Bur
geons and intimate friends.
“Not on your life,” said the pa
tient. Urging was of no avail, and
finally remedies unaccompanied by
the knife were used.
The surgeon was sick some weeks,
but he finally recovered, and only re
cently has been chronicled as having
performed an operation for the dis
ease with which he, too, was af
flicted and for which he would not
undergo a siege at fellow profession
als’ hands.—Baltimore Sun.
Bees and Beer.
We have always looked on the bee
as a monstrously overrated insect,
says the London Globe. At the back
of our mind there has always lurked
a suspicion tlmt his ostentatious
goodness was simply for purposes of
advertisement. This view is sup
ported by the behavior of a swarm
at Enfield, which ior two solid days
sat drinking stout by the barrel at
the Nag’s Head. On the morning
of the third day they staggered
away. Perhaps somebody will re
vise that poem of Dr. Watts:
How doth the little busy bee
Pursue his dally task!
He flies about till he finds stout
And drinks It by the cask.
Countess Tolstoi.
Countess Tolstoi does not agree
with her husband in all of his the
ories, but she agrees with the world
which worships him and is very
proud of him and very devoted, al
though her devotion has been se
verely taxed in several ways. She
has copied yards of unreadable
manuscript while babies of various
sizes were pulling at her skirts. She
has translated books into three or
four languages and has transformed
all sorts of garments to meet the
needs of the changing sixteen, her
children.
First Safety Razor.
Safety razors were manufactured
in England sixty years ago. One
style, known as the “guarded razor,”
had a loose frame or guard of brass
added to the blade, its purpose be
ing to prevent the edge from pene
trating to any serious depth when
the instrument was used by infirm
or nervous persons. Today we have
a dozen or more different kinds of
safeties, and even boys are using
them for the youthful encourage
ment of whiskers.
The Mesquite In Hawaii.
It is said that a single mesquite
seed was taken from Angora to the
Hawaiian Islands in 1873 and plant
ed there. The seed took root and
grew, spreading as only the mesquite
bush can. and now there are said to
be 50,000 acres of it in the islands.
But it has adapted itself to its new
surroundings and is quite different
from the parent plant.

“Over seven .years ago I was cured 01 rhe opium,

M VV. M. Tungtall of Lovingston, Va , says*
“I am glad to say that 1 firmly believe that I am
entirely and permanently cured of the Drink
Habit, as 1 have never even so much as wanted a
drink in any form since I took your eradieators

Mrs. Virginia Townsend, of Shreveport, La.,,
writes: “No more opium. I have taken no other
lemedy than yours, and I make no mistake when
1 sa.v that my health is better now than it ever
was in my life, and I owe it to you and your
remedy. It has been twelve years since I was
cared by your treatment.’’
Dr. Woolley has thousands of such testimo
