The youth of the Con stitution calls him “Barry” and consoles with him in his extreme ly sad condition. lie is to be pit ied from away back. Mr. A. H. Shaver, who recently sold the Dalton Argus, has pur chased the Jackson Argus, and takes charge this week. Mr. Sha ver is a very competent newspaper man and, no doubt, will make things hum in and around his new home. 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 knowkervitch. 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. ■ ■ ■ ■■ ♦ m —■. 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tour” racket has been “worked” quite sufficient by Sarah Bernhardt and others, Un cle Allen, and you are surely out of date in this line of business.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. —Ex. "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. Jno. T. Norris. Sec’v and Treas. News Printing Cos. 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.” Bartow No. 2.

From Dahionega. 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 MOZIEY’S LhIMOK ELIXIR.

Prepared only by Dr H, Mozley, Atlanta, Ga. one volley was fired by the entire battallion. 1 his was the conclu 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. Very Truly, Paul L. Upshaw, Cadet N. G. A. C. Battalion. Dahionega, Ga., March 23, 1901. 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.” Mrs. Anka Hollow at, Geneva, Ind. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure is sold at all druggists on a positive guarantee.

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.
