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 Oct. sth. 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?

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. mSm tip®lsllfl &lmm%-ww r^cß i § may sound like strong talk; it is, but not one whit stronger than the case war rants. As to comparing these garments with the ordin; ry ready-made cloth ing you cant do it. There is no comparison. It is con trast, that is noticeable. These styles are only a few of our many.
