When a Russian begins to tire
of ennui, he polishes up his gun
and takes a pop at the czar. If he
misses he continues the fun by
turning the gun upon himself.
Those Russians, while waiting for
their coming brush with the pow
ers, must have some fun, don’tvou

It is gratifying, indeed, to note
the great increase in the sub
scription list of The News. The
people of Bartow county appre
ciate the fact that its intentions
are good, and the Dest means for
collecting the greatest amount of
news will be employed. A few
slick politicians will not be able
to disabuse their minds of this.

They say your Uncle Allen
Candler is to retire from politics.
That “farewell tour” racket has
been “worked” quite sufficient by
Sarah Bernhardt and others, Un
cle Allen, and you are surely out
of date in this line of business.
Hadn’t you better have “stepped
off” and left a return date? You've
made a good governor, and poli
tics is business vou know.
Aguinaldo was sure enough cap
tured this time. The question
naturally arises where will the
correspondents get their sensation
al Phillippine news now. True
lots is being telegraphed about
huge frauds in the commissary de
partment at Manilla, but that
ceases to be startling when it is
remembered that such conditions
are quite usual under the present
republican government.
The friends of the new* court
house site loudly proclaim that
there was no jobbery in its pur
chase. Nobody, so far as learned,
has charged or even intimated as
much, and why a denial of a
charge, before it was made, is
forthcoming is past comprehen
sion. While four thousand dol
lars for a trifle over an acre of
ground is steep, nobody has ques
tioned the cleanliness of the deal
between the sellers and buyers.
TELEPHONE EAVESDROPPING.
Telephone eavesdropping is
somewhat expensive in Ohio,
says the New York Evening Post.
It cost a farmer in Dresden §25 for
listening to the conversation of
neighbors, and it is more than like
ly that one “Paul Pry” has got
enough. It appears that the farm
ers of that district had built their
own lines, and, to save expense,
have installed their instruments
on the party principle, by which
arangement all the bells on the
circuit ring when a call is made.
Several subscribers came to the
conclusion that some one was lis
tening to their telephonic conver
sation. The matter was talked over
by a few who were aggrieved, and
they determined to find the culprit.
One afternoon two of the farmers
were talking over the line, and
heard unmistakable sound of a
transmitter being removed fram
the hook. According to previous
agreement, they immediately
ceased talking, and, in the silence
that folowed, heard distinctly the
sharp, clear chime of a clock
striking. The peculiar tone of the
bell was well known to both men,
and the owner was fined for list
ening. It frequently happens in
telephone conversations where
there are no party lines, that con
versation are overheard, and evi
dence to this end is easily obtain
able. While it cannot be told with
absolute certainty that any one is
listening at a telephone other than
the person called, any one cutting
in generally causes Ul9 conversa-
tion to have a far-away sound. Of
course, it would be difficult to de
termine upon the culprit in a big
city where many exchanges are
concerned, but it would give notice
to the users that their conversa
tion was being overhead, and
warn them t o be careful not to be
too confidential until the wire has
cleared up. A few fines like that
of t<he Ohio farmer might possibly
teach eavesdroppers that listening
to conversation over a telephone
when it is not intended for them
is as bad as listening at a kevhole.

"THE LOCATION OF THE NEW COURT
HOUSE.”
In view of the fact that quite a
number of people have spoken to
me with regard to an article that
appeared in The News a few weeks
ago on the above subject, saying
that they thought or understood
that I wrote it, it is but fair to
say that I did not write it. Furth
ermore I had no hand in writing it
nor was I in any way connected
with it.
The editorials are written by the
editor. Rarely, if ever do I know
what they will be until the paper
is published. He has exclusive
charge of the contents of the paper
and surely he has a right to make
any suggestions which he may
think of public interest. My con
nection with the paper is an entire
ly different capacity. Acting as a
real estate agent I tried to get the
court house committee to buy
Mrs. Harris’ property on Main
street. I made the best fight I
could, before the site was finally
selected, and I lost. Since then I
have made no fight nor have I
any criticism of the location se
lected, except that it seems to give
pretty general satisfaction and is
certainly close in and convenient.
I have not for the past four
months written any article for The
News without signing my name to
it nor will I vary this rule in the
future unless I have some good
reason, other than a mere personal
advantage, for so doing.

While the editorials of The
News do nottake upon them
selves the credit of being especi
ally able or brilliant yet it is very
evident that they have born fruit
in Bartow county politics And
besides, no political boss nor any
of his puppets can write editorials
or dictate the policv of the paper.
There are already newspapers
enough suffering from the fact
that their ’‘editors” allow their
columns to be indiscriminately
used for the political advancement
of two by four politicians. When
an editor can’t edit he should get
down and out, and be fair with
the people,
THE WEEKLY NEWS, f ARTERSVILLE, GA.
Taking the old spying “the
still sow gets the slop ’ as a basis,
The News is led to believe that
Joe Terrell is “cutting some ice”
towards that governorship chair.
He says nothing and we believe he
has a whole woodyard full of wood
already sawed. He has been a
faithful attorney general and the
people will give him a good look
ing over when the time comes.
The race promises to be inteiesting
in every way.
The Baptist convention at Val
dosta last week put the first chunks
of fire under the political pot,
which are likely to keep the whole
“bilin” just a “bilin.” A promi
nent politician thinks that the con
vention sprung a e*upleof booms,
ex-Gov. Noithen for senator and
Pope Brown for governor.
The LaGrange Graphic has put
in anew press and the papergiven
a general overhauling, reburnish
ing, until now it easly stands close
at the head of the list of handsom
est Georgia weeklies.
“Bartow No. 2.’’
Editor ok The News:
So “Adairsville” says I have “rit
another letter.” I cannot ex
change compliments as his last ef
fusion could not be called a letter.
That which is not babyish slush
reminds me of nothing save the
squirming of a tapeworm winding
around its slimy self.
This “big Ike*’ started out to
assail the sheriff with great pre
tence of reason and justification,
but when rallied by axioms he
could not refute, “Adairsville”
ends up with a “still axin” the
sheriff to disregard a plain statute
and let out the legal advertising
to the lowest bidder.
Egregious vanity prompted h : m
first to write as “the people” —so
he called himself “Bartow.” Soon
taught that very many good citi
zens were willing to let Sheriff
Griffin manage his own business,
he tapered off onto “Adairsville.”
Not that he lives at or has any
special interest in Adairsville —not
at all—he is about as prominent a
citizen as Cartersville, unfortu
nately, h&s: hut his is a “rule or
ruin’’ nature —so he would array
one section of the county against
the balance. Of course, this is
vicious, but that is only character
istic.
Charged with knavery, he vir
tually pleads guilty—but slinks off
slyly*daubing with his slime that
which he well understands to be
meritorious in the question at is
sue, viz: the deference which the
recommendation of a giand jury
should deserve—and demeans the
discussions into one of personali
ties.
For example, that dirty lam
poon. associating “the picture” in
The News of last week w r ith the
editor, is a libel which could only
emanate from a vulgar mind —and
when he asks people to believe
that the editor of The News wrote
that article, he should in counter
point ask them to believe that
which is as unlikely, viz: that the
editorial on legal advertising in
last week’s Courant American
originated in that office —yet the
fellow has the effrontery to talk
about “one hatchery.”
About this “one hatching” busi
ness. if I understand him, “Adairs
villc” says that when a lawyer
gains a case for a white client,
which he follows up by advising
a nigger, that his clients become
kin. This physiological conse
quence is not as 1 have understood
it. which is that relationship could
only occur between the lawyer
and the nigger, supposing of con
ditions necessary to a hatchery.
Again, suppose I do “ware cor
sets like a gal,” it w mid only be
like that of the girl whose physi
cal lines are regulated and beauti
fied thereby, whereas such lacing
as would advantageously set off
“Adairsville” could only be of the
kind which might regulate moral
lines
As I have said, this pretending
“sager” is far from being a fool —
he is well-skilled in leading and
misleading. Whatever he profes
ses to have been “tole” as to the
distinctions between “ready print
ed matter.” “plate matter” or oth
er devices used by all cheaper pa
pers for economically furnishing
the news, he slanders himself
when he offers to believe that all
the matter printed by the Courant
American is home work. This is
not true, could not be true —neith-
er do I charge the publishers of
the Courant American with such
a lie.
After all, what bearing can all
such side issues have on the ques
tion at issue? I never said that
the Courant American was not as
good a paper as The News'.
What I said, and it is undeniable,
was that the white primary was
organized and fought to its suc
cessful issue by the sole efforts of
The News. This was done not
for Sheriff Griffin, but for all who
approved of that policy; therefore,
I repeat, and stick to it, that if
The News furnishes what the law
requires as an advertising medium,
then that paper deserves the spoils
which in America always go to
those who run the risk, cio the
work and become victor.
These were my opinions, and I
say again that I do not know nor
do I care how Sheriff Griffin reach
ed his conclusions —yet if he did
so for the reason outlined, then he
acted on political ethics, so sound
that all the mud thrown by “Bar
tow” and his gang will be washed
off by the first shower of ballots,
and Griffin’s escutcheon be reburn
ished by the sunshine of popular
approval.
Many counties have more than
one paper, but the statute, never
contemplating the necessity of
more than one of reasonable circu
lation, leaves with the judgment
of the sheriff which he will use —
therefore, all this talk about who
pays the fees is rot, and unless I
undersize th j man, Ranse Griffin is
not one who can either be seduced,
cajoled or intimidated —hence this
diatribe may as well cease.
If ‘VAdairsville” wishes to say
anything more to me, I say
•Day on Mac Duff,
Damned be he who cries enough.”
I have some heavy shot in re
serve, with which, if he gives me
the chance, I will blow off his
bombproof and he will learn if 1
am of the kind who get “skeard.”

Editor New:
Last Tuesday, the 19th, inst.
being Arbor Day, it was regarded
as a very memorable occasion by
th 2 graduates and other students of
North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege.
Aside from the daily exercises,
the students body, in company
with a number of visiting friends
and citizens, assembled on the
college campus, at 2:45 P- m - f° r
the purpose of attending the class
tree exercises, which were as usual
very interesting.
The first part of the program
was of a literary nature, and was
held in the college chapel. For an
Lour or two all were well enter
tained by the dux, historian,
prophet, poet and others. Their
witty remarks, accounts, predict
ions, etc., were very pleasing and
were enjoyed by all. At intervals
the college band rendered very
stirring and effective music.
When the literary part of the
program was over, the exercises
were then continued out on the
campus at the place where the tree
was to be planted. When the prop
er ceremony was gone through with
and a sufficient amount of earth had
been thrown around the tree, the
most important and exciting part
of the program then came, viz: the
firing of a military salute by the
battalion of cadets. In this, nine
volleys of artillery w r ere first fired,
and then the three companies in
succession, fired three volleys,
each arms, after which

one volley was fired by the entire

sion of the exercises, and was con
sidered by many as having been
quite a success.
Since the boys have returned
from Washington, they have
“sprung anew one” on their fel
low-students by establishing a
lodge of the “Independent Order
of the American Buffaloes,” which
they learned while in that city. It
has met with much success since
its introduction at this place, for
as soon as one joins, he goes forth
and tries to “catch another suck
er." Even our president had the
pleasure of joining while in Wash
ington. Say what you will, but
this American Brotherhood of
Buffaloes, although very young, is
a very strong and independent
order
The N. G. A. college still contin
ues to thrive and at present she is
in a very progressive condition.
The military department is, as
well as the others, growing more
and more interesting each day.
From now on until June we will
about twice each week, do actual
firing in both infantry and artillery
drills. y
The fatigue uniforms, which are
a source of much comfort to the
cadets in summer time, will soon
be ordered. At some time during
the month of May, the entire bat
tallion of cadets are going out in
the country on a camoing tour. A
favorite summer resort of some
twenty or tvventv-five miles away
has been selected, and of course
we are all looking forward to it
with many pleasant anticipations,
as we are very desirous to have
some actual experience “in camp
life.” F
Field day and the target prac
ticing are both very interesting
occasions of the college year.
They are to be held some time be
tween now and June, and will no
doubt prove to be lively times, es
pecially among the athletics and
marksmen.
The coming commencement,
w'hich is not very far off, promises
to be one of unusual interest.
Already the students of the lower
classes are beginning to prepare
their speeches, as they are requir
ed to contest for speakers, places
in April. The students of all the
classes above the Freshman com
pose their own speeches, essays,
etc.
Taking it all in all, there are
several public occasions of the col
lege year, which are and will be
interesting to the public, and in
writing this, I wish to extend a
most cordial invitation to the peo
ple of Bartow to attend on such
occasions, especially our com
mencement.
There are only three students
here this spring representing Bar
tow county, namely: Messrs Shel
ton, Crawford and your humble
servant, and we would be pleased
at any time to welcome our friends.

Look lor the Warning.
Heart disease kills suddenly, but
never without warning. The warn
ings may be faint and brief, or may
be startling and extend oyer many
years, but they are none the less
certain and positive. Too often the
victim is deceived by the thought,
“it will pass away.” Alas, it never
passes away voluntarily. Once in
stalled, heart disease never gets bet
ter of itself. If Dr. Miles’ Heart
Cure is used In the early stages re
covery is absolutely certain in every
case where its use is persisted in.
“for many years I was a great suf
ferer from heart disease before I
finally found relief. I was subject
to fainting and sinking spells, full
ness about the heart, and was unable
to attend to my household duties. I
tried nearly every remedy that was
recommended to me and doctored
with the leading physicians of thla
section but obtained no help until I
began taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure.
It has done me more good than all
the medicine I eve- took.”

BRITISH NAVAL ESTIMATES.
House of Commons Discusses Matters
Appertaining to Navy.
New York, March 18. —A Tribune
digpatch from London says:
Last week in the house of commons
the military members had matters all
their own way in discussing the esti
mates for the British army and the case
of General Colville. This week, how
ever, the country’s first line of defense
will be the political topic and the naval
experts will have a chance to express
opinions.
The first lord of the admiralty will
explain the naval estimates. This will
be very important, considering the large
sums to be voted, £llB,lOO, as compared
with £114,880 12 months ago.
Mr. Forster is expected to make spe
cial reference to the question of Belle
ville boilers and Holland submarines.
Over 1,000,000 horsepower of Belleville
boilers has been paid for or ordered by
the government. With regard to Hol
land submarines there cannot be auv
reasonable doubt. If the admiralty
should be satisfied with the promised ex
periments, the country will be com
mitted to an expenditure on the con
struction of a large number of these
boats, especially for operation in the
principal colonial harbors, many of
which are in need of more adequate
naval protection.
