Cartersville may be terrrted a slow town by the vulgar outside, but she can get up some fine in side racket occasionally. Well, well, there is no campaign on in Bartow county. The people are studying how they are going to avoid five cent cotton and the sheriff in the fall. A strolling band of gypsies passed through town Tuesday without as much stopping to water their stock at the fountains. Sure ly these are not agin us. Whenever a big dog walks oft with a bone of goodly dimensions every fice in the county raises a row about it, and not one ot them is big enough to tote the thing de cently and satisfactorily. It is a strange thing that a man or newspaper have to get so old, tnosv covered before they can make up their mind to save “the dear people.” They should forever be on guard in and out of season, to make much reputation is people preservers.

Many will be interested in a re cent order issued by the govern j rnent post office department as re | gards free rural delivery. There are a few routes proposed for Bar j tow county, and are being pushed Iby Congressman Maddox. Many routes have been proposed over the entire country and many have been turned down for cause. Free rural delivery is most desirable but it takes more than a dirt road to enjoy them. The new circular of instructions directs that peti tioners for such service be heads of families who shall show the rela tive population along the route, character of the road, principle vocations of the people and dis tances each one now has to tavel to receive mail. A map of the routes proposed is required. The petition must be indorsed by either a senator or representative in congress. Each route must be over twenty miles long, serving at least 100 families, and those de siring the delivery hereafter must be prepared to put up suitable boxes. Rural carriers may carry other business than United States mail. Patrons are required to co operate by keeping the roads up to the standard in all weather. The max imum for a full route is approxi mately twenty-five miles. Carri ers are to carry a supply of stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards and must cancel stamps on all let ters collected. WHAT THEY SHOULD Wr ITE. The following paragraph is clip ped from an able article on “Sug gestions to Correspondents” writ ten by Editor Fain of the Walton Tribune, which we think hits the nail on the head in regards to what constitutes the character of news that a correspondent should write: “Correspondents should first write the news of their respective communities #r fields of labor. “The news should consist of an account of the coming and going of people in your community; re ports of sickness or deaths in your neighborhood; crop reports and farm notes; items in regard to building or improvements of any kind denoting progress; and other items which will suggest them selves to the correspondent. All of these items should be written in a brief, concise and forcible manner. Death notices should contain particulars in legard to life of the deceased; such as, age, occupation, church affiliation, fam ily connection, or anything of gen eral interest.” And we might add —no jokes. “Toe Villian Still Pursues 'Er.” Editor ok Thk News: Among the various kinds of lies known to man, there are three which come to more general notice than the othes. First, the white lie —such as the average mother, when bathing her child is guilty of, by excusing her se’f to an inopportune visitor with a “not at home”—or the young girl, who, when asked by Tom for a dance which she is saving for Joe, says, “I am engaged"—or the asseverations of every man to the last woman he courts that she is his first and only love. Such lies as these, St. Peter savs he is too busy to record —and that in the hereafter, though archan gels may not range the white liars among cherubim and seraphim, they will probably float around among those jolly crowds of pro gressive whist aud euchre games ters who certainly will have been assigned to a separate mansion than the one in which forgiven fa natics, sour hearted mopes and the like will be suffered to dwell, Antipodal on earth, anything save “toto coelo” in eternity would up set the work of God. Secondly, the blue lie —such as under cover of which many mor tali seek protection from the con sequences of wrong doing because of weakness. This lie, not al ways carrying with it direct and immediate wrong to others, is classified by some theologians as a venial sin—that is to say, one from which the sinner by proper contrition and priestly prayers can obtain absolution. The blue lie however is one which St Peter religiously records against the sinner—whose ranking will be pretty low. Having whilst in the flesh preferred niches where in other discreditable characters congregate, the blue liars, the po litical tricksters and such may ex THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA. pect nothing better in the spiritual world than that from the free use of holy water they may have be come snfficientlv cleansed for as signment as ambrosial cup bearers and holders of the golden harps ot ! the white liars. Thirdly comes the black lie— I such as is used, not for self-pro i tection. but with all the bebase- J ment entailed by the unforgivable I intent to injure others. This lie, certain theologians distinguish a; a mortal sin, signifying its penalty as deserving death. Neither St Paul nor archangel will be disturbed by the knocks of black liars upon the golden gates their eternal habitation having been fixed early after the creation of man, along with that of the hypocrite, Tley are kind of whom Cer berus will not need an identifying sniff —nor would Charon risk his official post in the heirarch of hell by questioning their free transpor tation across the Styx. This third and last lie would also be typified as follows: “The legal advertisements for the month of March cost the peo ple who have it to pay twenty two dollars more than it would have cost them in the Courant Ameri can. Just why the people who pay the costs should be doubled taxed, has never been explained.” The above was an editorial state ment of the Courant American of last week. However insidious, it is nothing more nor less than the charging of Sheriff Griffin with double taxing his fellow citizens. Now, whose fault is it that the re quired explanation has not .reach ed the readers of the Courant American? Who could have bet ter furnished the information than that paper itself? Th£y have cho sen rather to deceive the masses if they can—and if possible, in a well calculated manner, defame the sheriff. Well, nothing more was to be expected from a concern conceiv ed in iniquity, save that it would wind up in infamy—“the mills of the gods grinds slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.” Bartow No. 2. CURRENT GOSSIP ABOUT POLITICS Statesmen About the Capital Are Asking Questions About the Senatorship. Steve Posiell in Macon Telegraph Atlanta, April 7. —Will Senator Clay have serious opposition and if so, who will his opponent be, or will he have two of them? These are questions that are be ing asked daily by state politicians who visit Atlanta, and while no one seems to be able to answer them positively, almost all of them have their opinion as to what will occur. Some time ago the appear ances were, that Senator Clay would have nothing to do except to say that he was willing to serve the people for a second term in the upper branch of the national legis lature, and he would get it. But recently the political wheel has been turning and now the senator has lots to think about in this con nection. He would give almost anything toknow r positively what the next two years will develop in the contest for the senatorship. That he feels uneasy, there is hardlv a doubt. He has been counting upon the support of Mr. dußignon, Governor Candler and Hon. Clark Howell. But suppose Governor Candler should take a notion to run, or to suppose again, how would he line up in the event that ex-Governor Northen should conclude to enter the contest? The governor’s last utterances in this connection were that Senator Clay had made a good representative and that if he did not flop around on some of the prominent issues of the day, the chief executive would support him for a second term T his statement from the governor was followed up by another that he would retire from politics when his term as chief executive of the state expired. But it is said that Governor Candler has during his political life time played several engagements and may be forced to play another, as is a well known fact that he has had within the last thirty days scores of letters from prominent Georgians urging him to be a candidate for se*nator against Mr. Clay and also that his friends are asking the question “if Candler should run could he be electe It is a long time before the next legislature is elected and in the meantime all sorts of things mav occur. The pressure upon Governor Candler may become so strong that he will announce that he is ready to play one more farewell engagement upon the political stage. Now all this may and may not occur but suppose that he does not run, and instead ex-Governor Northen concludes to enter the race, Senator Clay would still be in jeopardy when it comes to se curing Gov. Candler’s influence and support (as it will be remem bered that a few yearo ago ex-Gov ernor Northen, while filling the executive cha<r, appointed Gov. Car.dler secretary of state to succeed the late Gen. Philip Cook, and from this office Secretary of State Candler climbed into the executive chair, where he sits today. This being so, would Gov ernor Candler support ex-Gover nor Northen, the man who ap pointed him secretary of state,or Senator Clay, who is nothing more than a strong political friend and well wisher? The governor has a steel ribbed record for paying political debts, and if he was to go back on Northen in this case, he would do something that he has never before been found guilty of. As for dußignon, should he run for governor, he will have so many troubles of his own he will not have time to consider those of others. But for this, he would unquestionably make a strong pull for the Cobb county statesman, and Mr. Clay would do the same for him foot-loose and secure in his own political aspirations. All of this being so, Mr. dußignon can be left out of all calculations in the way of helping others should he determine to enter the race for governor. Just now the question of Mr. dußignon’s candidacy, it is understood, hangs upon the condi tion of his health when the time comes for the campaign to com mence actively, which will not be before April or May of next vear. Mr. dußignon's health is said to be much better, and it may be that he may again be a strong man phy sically a year henc.\ Judge R. B. Russell of the Northern circuit xvas here yester day, and his presence calls to mind that a year ago he was thinking seriously of opposing Senator Bacon. But he got out of the idea before the time came to open up the campaign, and now says that he has no political aspirations for for the near future. He says that he has never Had any idea of run ning for the senate against Mr. Clay, and that the published state ments that he was thinking of opposing Congressman Tate have no foundation whatever. He says that he favors Tate being returned to congress. Solicitor-General Sam Maddox and Judge A. W. Fite of the Cherokee circuit were among the visitors to Atlanta last week. Both of them are for Mr. dußignon should he be a candidate for gov ernor. and Col. Maddox says that north Georgia will give the states man from Chatham county a strong lift into the executive chair. SUPREME COURT. Overturns Decision of the Lower Courts in a Number of Cases Involving the Long and Short Haul Clause. Washington, April 8. —In the United States supreme court today an opinion was handed down by justice white in various cases in volving the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce law. The principal opinion was rendered in the case of the East Tenness and Georgia Railroad Cos., and the charge was to the effect that a lower rate was chang ed on freight carried to Nashville than was charged on freight to Chatnooga, the distance to the first point being greater than the latter.

The opinion handed down today reversed all these decisions and was in favor of the railroad company, though without prejudice. The dicisions in the other cases were on the same lines. Two of the other cases decided were proceedings againest the Clyde Steamship Cos., while the fourth was against the Western and Atlantic Railroad Cos. In the latter case the charge of discrimi nation was made w r ith referene to the rates from Cincinnati to Atlan ta as against other places on the line of the road between the two points, including Marietta, Car tersville, Kingston Adairsvilie and Calhoune. In one of the Clyde cases rates on the Georgia railroad are involved and in the other case rates on the West Point and West ern road a o Alabama. In his opinion in the East Ten nessee case, Justice White said that the decision of the circuit court was not in accord with the finding of facts by the commissio 7. 1 he decision of the supreme court was, “the decree of the circuit court of appeals should be revers ed, with costs, and the case re manded to the circuit court with instructions to set aside its decree adjudging that the order of the commission be enforced, and to dismiss the application made for that purpose with costs, the whole to be without prejudice to the right of ttie commission to proceed upon the evidence already introduced before it upon such further plead ings and evidence as it may allow to be made or introduced to hear and determine the matter in contro versy according to law.” In the cases of the Clyde Steam ship Cos., the decrees of the circuit court of appeals and of the cucuit court were modified by providing that “ the dismissal of the bills shall be without prejudice to the right of the interstate commerce commission, if it so elects, to make an original investigation of the question containrd in the records pertinent to the complaints pre sented to the body.” As so modi fied, the decrees were affirmed. The East Tennessee railroad case came from the circuit court of ap peals to the supreme court and was first heard in the circuit court for the Eastern district of Ten nessee. The other cases were all first heard in the circuit court for the Northern district of Georgia, and came through the circuit court of appeals from the fifth circuit of the supreme court.
