Wisterate it, we sez dat de las member wat bad de flo is jes playin de
idebbil.
How cum bout sich .1. noshun ennyhow —dat de Deersville paper
tmus git sum ob de county printin? Sakes alive! dat Banner paper
is mity ni as mean as dis ere News is on de rites ob us niggers. Per
Gawd sake, mens, stick to yer fus tex—jes keep a pullin fer de Coot
er Amerikin paper; and ef de fees is more dan it needs, plese keep in
membrance dat us niggers run two defferent papers in town and yer
all kn >ws wat nigger leaders kin do wen you all git dat wite primary
out ob de way cording to promisis
How cum so de nigger papers wusn’t vited to de candy pullin ob
de committy ennyhow? Dey pays taxes, and hab de general succula
shun lowd by law and dey probably would hav dun de public printir
fer about one-fofe ob wat dem rich wite mens offurd.
To git down to de creamery ob de sitywashun, aintyu’ur.s fixin up
de pie fer nex year. Ef so, aint dis de properest time fur us niggers
to study de color ob de wite mens eyes?
Sho nuff, youns all did play yer game mity nice—yer jis laid low,
boomin de farmer wid de 10 cent cotton an de miner wid McKinley’s
full dinner pail an prosperity waggin—and it sholy proved fine; but,
dem hillbillies wat got fooled an ar still a holdin cb dear cotton, and
who, as Mr. Arp sez, “ruminate tell yit” —how bout dem?
As we go long, it frees de minds ob de niggers to say dat we dun
our share at de las ’lection; but you wite folks didn’t cum up squar
to de tank. Dat new kind ob a dram ain’t good —I ’bleeve dey calls
it de thumper, an bless Gawd it do thump. Look yah, ef you old
timers has dun gone clean broke—not able to gib a nigger a desent
drink ob licker, and bin driv clean outen the fiel ob politics by dat
“News,” jis say so.
Dat wite primary has sholy brung hard times ef a niggei cant git
a leetle dram fur his vote, and has fur to tek shorts fer’lection flour
hut, de las message wat cum to us niggers, sed dat sum ob de wite
voters at primary got shorts too, stid ob flour- —and dat dey is cussin
’bout it yit.
Oh, lordy, it do mek dis nigger feel tired to see how youns has
all bin joboed outen de editoral collums ob de Cooter Amerikin, an
en fack outen Bartow county—an I jis gits chilly wen I tink how dat
Bartow No 2 will chasen ver committy often dat Deersville stump. I
I bleve dat is a bad man ennyhow.
Whar will yer squat next time? Pos’gitrot 1 spec —kase dat went
mos’ republikin and it will tek a long pole to poke youns often dem
simmon bush.
Wats de matter wid de Cooter Amerikin ennyhow? Ob cose she
' is ole and mossbacked, sumfin like her yaller-belly namesake, con
tented to lay low in de sunshine, siyin nuttin, doin nuttin and hurtin
nobody’s feelins—but dat is wy us niggers trus her an doant bleeve
she favors enny wite primary.
Now, dat “News,” she am de real snake in de grass —wolf wid a
sheep hide on—hit worked up dat wite primary on de idee data nigger
wusn’t no 'count no how —not even wuff a dram o licker—so his vote
could be counted out—but its all rite sez de News fur wite republi
kins to be members ob de demicratic committy.
As I dun sed, we niggers size up de sitywashun adder dis fashun
—fus ting, knock out dat “News” paper; nex, quit dat fool talk bout
viding spoils wid dat ere Deersville feller, an ef possible split de def
ference betwixt de Cooter Amerikin and dese pore nigger papers wat
need help so bad; nex les stan by dem dat has fout, bled an mos dyed
fer yer wite bosses —even when de pops liked to got yer; an lasly but
not leesly, listen to boneyard talk—yer gwine ter need usniggeis agin,
yeddy dat? Dat is, wen dat “News” gits blowed out ob a job. Us
niggers dus spise de “News.”
Dats wy us niggers sez stick to yer fus tex an pull fur de Cooter
Amerikin. Hurrah fur de city marshal—he doant pay no tenshun to
dat ere sheriff—he advertizes where he pleses an de Cooter Amerikin
will git full fees fur dem ennyhow and dis nigger am proud ob it.

A LIFE AND DEATH FIGHT.
Mr. W. A. Hines of Manchester,
la., writing of his almost miracu
lous escapes from death, -ays:
‘Exposure after measles induced
serious lung trouble, which ended
in Consumption. I had frequent
hemorrhages and coughed night
and day. All my doctors says I
must soon die. Then I began to
use Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, which completely
cured me. I would not be without
it even if it cost $5.00 a bottle.

CARD OF THANKS.
Editor News:
I desire, through the medium of
your paper to express my heartfelt
gratitude to the many friends who
have assisted and sympathized
with us during the recent illness
of my father, which has just come
to so sad a termination. I will
never forget the kindness and
thoughtfulness of the people of
Cartersville, —but it is only on ad
ditional proof that my boyish im
pressions of their spirit and ready
sympathy were correct.
Our families also desire to join
expression of appreciation of all
the kindness shown us.
Respectfully,
Dallas Thomas.

A Cartersville landlord got tired
of a disreputable negro tenant,
and being away from home much
of the time, relied upon sending
him the information that he des
ired him to vacate the premises.
The negro paid little attention to
this and when cal'ed upon Mon
day morning by the landlord him
self, he gave much impudence.
The landlord happened to have
his gun, and a shot at the negro,
narrowly missing him, did better
work than an officer. The house
is now vacant and desires an or
derly decent colored tenant.

LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
SUPREME COURT SETTLES IT.
The supreme court recently decided that it is the legal duty of
the ordinary of a county to publish his legal advertisements in the pa
per within the couuty which is used for such purpose by the county
sheriff.
The case, upon which the decision was based was that of Theo. S.
Coffee and Tipton Coffee, owners and proprietors of The DeKalb
Standard, against W. M Ragsdale, ordinary of DeKalb county. In
1900 the sheriff of that county changed his legal advertising medium,
selecting The Dekalb Standard instead of The New Era. The ordi
nary of Dekalb was requested, i 1 accordance with law, to publish his
advertisements is the same paper. The request was met with a fiat
refusal on the part of Ordinary Ragsdale, and mandamus proceedings
were instituted to compel him to comply. The superior court of De-
Kalb sustained a demurrer to the mandamus proceedings and dismis
sed them.
In reversing the ruling of the lower court, the supreme court says
the question is a vexed one and has given the court no little trouble,
on account of the fact that the sections of the code applicable seem
too ind finite “But,” says the court, after a “careful examination of
all the sections relating to this matter, we have concluded that when
ever the sheriff has selected a newspaper in which to publish his legal
advertisements, such paper becomes the legal medium of the adver
tisements of the county, and is the official organ in which should be
published the legal advertisements of all the officers of the coun
ty.”
(Administrators, Guardians, Executors, Clerks who publish peti
tions for charters, take heed, do not involve innocent people.—Ei>.)
In this case the New Era refused to publish the notice of change
given by the sheriff. The supreme court holds that publication of
such notice in an Atlanta paper, in a neighboring connty, under such
circumstances, was sufficient, and the code showing that in addition
to that it therefore became incumbent on all the other county officers
to give similar notice of such change in the medium of their advertis
ing.
The supreme court, in the opinion rendered by Chief Justice Sim
mons, then goes into an analysis of the sections of the code showing
that in addition to many specified forms of legal advertisements of
the ordinary are specifically required by law to be published in the
paper so used bv the county sheriff. In holding that the legal adver
tisements of the ordinary must be published in the same paper with
those of the sheriff, the court says:
“If the law were otherwise, then in counties such as Fulton
which have a large number of newspapers, and, indeed, in any county
having more than one, people interested in county matters would be
put to considerable trouble and expense. They could not know in
what paper to look for county advertisements, and would be compell
ed, in order to avoid missing some of these advertisements, to sub
scribe for all of the papers in which k-gal advertisements might be
published, and to examine all of these papers for such advertise
m. nts.”
The opinion concludes that the legislature clearly intended that all
county avertisements should appear in the paper used by the sheriff,
and the action of the lower court in refusing to grant the mandamus
asked for is reversed.
CAPT. J. D. THOMAS.
He Dies Sunday Moaning After a
Long Illness.
Capt. John Dallas Thomas,
whose illness was well known,
breathed his last at his home last
Sunday morning at 3:30 o’clock.
The deceased was a native of
Dandridge, East Tennessee, and
was 76 years of age at the time of
his death. He practiced law at the
place of his nativity until the open
ing of the war between the states,
and entered Confederate army
from that state. He was made a
captain and served the confeder
acy in that capacity until the end.
After the war, he went into bus
iness and met with marked success
with Fain & Parrott, of Atlanta,
until 1868, when he came to Bar
tow couniv, where he has since
resided. Soon after making his
home he went into the iron busi
ness, operating the upper Stamp
Creek furnace, owning a half in
terest in the property. He has
been in merchandise in Carters
ville twice, retiring only a few
months ago.
He was married twice, his first
wife being Misg Mary W., daugh
ter of the late Dr. John W. Lewis,
one son, Mr. Dallas Thomas, be
ing the result of the union. His
second wife was Miss Uliah Atta
way, daughter of the late Mr. W.
S. Attawav, who survives him.
The funeral services here were
conducted most impressively by
Rev. A. W. Bealer, after which
the remains were carried to Can
ton, where there were laid to their
last resting place yesterday.
Captain Thomas was a notable
character, quiet and unobstructive,
yet always ready with his deep
thought to entertain. He was
well posted in the affairs of this and
other countries, and watched with
the keenest avidity any and all de
velopments in matters political.
He was a true man. a genuine
Christian, and all will miss his
kindly face, genial company and
gentle spirit and the bereaved wife
and only son will receive the gen
uine sympathy of all.

THE SCHUBERTS.
One of the Finest of This Season
Goes Unappreciated.
The entertainment given by the
Schubert club at the opera house
on Monday deserved a larger house
than greeted it. The people who
were there proved a very enthusi
astic appreciative audience, though
for all the applause they got no
response in the way of encores.
The program was a fairly good
one, though not adhered to. Mr.
Lidy, the violinist, substituting
Raff’s Cavitina instead of the num
ber down; the quartette also chang
ed one of their nnmbers. Some
people regard this as being a little
unfair to the audience, but there
may have been reasons making it
necessary.
1 he soloists, soprano, contralto,
were very good, the latter having
a specially good voice, she gave
Bartlett’s “A Dream” and seemed
to please all the audience. Her
enunciation was perfect and hear
ing the words added much to the
pleasure of hearing her, though
her voice was very smooth and
sweet. The violinist played beau
tifully, with delicacy of feeling and
fine execution—indeed it is not
often that so good a violinist comes
to a town of this size and it is a
pity that all the musical people
did not hear him.
The quartette were tolerable —
the singing good, showing careful
training; of the imperson
ator nothing need be said as he
was just about as poor as one could
find. If they come next year, it
is to be hoped that the affair will
be well advertised so a better
crowd will be out as the show is
well worth hearing.
