There is a sad death of political
news these days. One year from
today will be quite different. In
the meantime the people can rock
along, for the politicians will ar
range things anyhow.
There has been a chewing gum
trust formed. As the girls have
all along figured as patriots, they

Atlanta is now proposing to buy

Already there is talk by some

State Treasurers must be flexible

WHY NOT BORE FOR OIL?
From the Washington Gazette.
We feel it incumbent on us as a
public journalist, to call attention
to a matter that lias lain dormant
for some years, and urge upon
those who own the lands or on any
public spirited citizens to take an
interest, which we believe would
meet with the approval of the
parties who own the property.
It is a well known fact that a
few years ago unmistakable evi
dences of the existence of oil in
the earth were discovered out at
Anthony’s shoals, in the northern
part of Wilkes county. It is true
that on the surface of the ground
the flow is so slight that it attracts
little attention, but the positive
evidence of the existence of oil
certainly warrants an investigation
to see if there is oil there in pay
ing quantities. It would cost but
little to bore into the earth, and
with what is already known, there
is a fair promise of developments
that would bring great wealth.
If the owners of the land do not
care to undertake the enterprise,
some active and energetic outside
parlies might easily obtain an oil
interest, dependent on finding oil.
We believe the owners of this
property would be glad to make
such an arrangement as this, as
the enterprhe if successful, would
prove mutually beneficial to all.
Out at Anthony's shoals there
is decidedly better promise of oil
than there was known to be around
Beaumont, Tex., up to only a few
months ago, and with a. little en
terprise and activity those people
out in that part of Texas, have
made developments that are
bringing untold millions to them.
There, where there was not the
suspicion of the existence of oil,
gushes have been found which
surpass anything of the kind else
where in the whole world. Of
course, the people there are wildly
enthusiastic over the discoveries
they have made, but there is cause
for them to be so, for the flow of
oil even exceeds their flow of
enthusiasm. The benefits have not
only come to the people on whose
lands this oil has been discovered,
but they are being reaped by every
line of business and almost every
individual person in that part of
the country.
As there is such a fair promise
of developing right here at our
doors, at least a good proportion
of such wealth, we cdl the atten
tion of enterprising men to the
great posibilities or we might say
probabilities that seem to be with
in easy reach.
In almost every section of South
there have in recent years been
discoveries of hidden wealth thac
have brought great fortunes to
those people who have followed
up leads that were far-less pro
mising than the surface flow of oil
right here in our own county, feel
sure that before many years this
matter will be investigated, but
we would like to see our people
reap the benefits right now.
THE HAPPY HOME.
Home is the refuge of our lift.
’Tis r.t t the beautiful shade
trees that urround a house, nor
the gravel walks, nor the painted
walks, the beautiful pictures that
adorn them, nor the elegant fur
niture, that makes a happy home,
but it is the presence of Jesus that
causes love to flow from heart to
heart and peace and acquaintance
to dwell therein.
The home has a sacred meaning,
THE WEEKLY NEWS. CARTERSVILLE, GA
and should be freed from the evil
of the world. How sad it is to see
a family being driven into unqui
| etness by one unpleasant member,
j It matters not how poor we are,
; we can still be happy if we will
I only try to makeeach other l.appy.
Let any one who owns a house
of any sort whatever, look around
! and observe how it is governed by
| that sweet mother, father, sisters
: and brothers.
Men are often driven from home
into places o f evil because home is
not happy; women are driven into
despondency because neglect of
home and children and seek pleas
ure abroad because home is not
what it should be, lighted up with
sunshine and the smiles of Jesus.
Many a child goes astray, not
because there is a want of home,
hut because home lacks sunshine.
Some houses are full of love for
strangers, and ugliness and gloom
for the ones to whom it belongs.
A cheerful nature is a most valua
ble aid to a happy home. Nothing
makes a home so happy as the sun
shine of a contented disposition.
Now let us all endeavor to make
home happy.—Exchange.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.

ed on the first of the month by the
treasury department shows that at
the close of business on April 30.
the debt, less the amount in the
amounted to $1,072,745,-
256. a decrease for the month of
54,397i653. This decrease is large
ly accounted for by the purchase
of bonds lor the sinking fund.

Debt on which interest has
ceased since maturity, $1,557,840.

COSTS TO STOP A TRAIN.
Each Stop Puts the Company Out
From 50c to $1.25.
Macon Telegraph.
A party of friends vere riding
on one of the fast living through
trains that dart from Macon to
distant points without paying heed
to intermediate points. One of
the party had an order to stop the
train at a small station near Ma
con. The fare that he had paid
was small because the distance he
was to travel was not great.
“Why, you ought to pay double
fare to that station,” remarked a
friend.
“Why do you say that?” was
asked.
Because it costs money to stop a
train, was the reply, the speaker
being a 1 experienced railroad
man.
“Are trains intended to be stop
ped?” was asked.
“Yes, but if you will figure a
little you will see that it is often
unprofitable for them to stop,
lake your case, for in tance. You
pay 50 cents fare to your station;
and it will cost the company $1.20
to stop for you to get off. This is
an extra heavy train. An ordi
nary passenger train would not
cost more than 50 or 60 cents.
Railroad men have figured it down
to such a point that they estimate
that each slop along a route costs
that much. This covers the wear
and tear to rolling stock and the
waste of coal used in getting up
speed after the stop. It requires
comparatively little exertion for
the engine to carry its load along
after it gets in motion, but a quan
tity of coal is thrown out by the
exhaust every time the machinery
undertakes to start, and that is
what constitutes the biggest item
of expense.”
Ihe 5° cent passenger did not
hesitate to get off the train, how
ever, when it stopped for him.
Agricultural circles will be
relieved at the news that the in
ventor of the“gold brick” com
merce is dead. Ilis name was
John V. Triplett and he died —in
poverty, of course—in Chicago,
after having swindled various
persons out of more than a million
of dollars. There are many fol
lowers of Triplett who still sell
gold bricks that contain no more
gold than the shell or surface, and
there are, strange to relate many
Worthy persons who still persist in
buying these absurd devices for
robbing them of their money.

In fact, some wag has made
mention of a farmer who counted
the number of his trips to town by
the gold bricks arrayed on his
shelves. This, of course, was an
exaggeration in two ways—for
few men could be swindled twice
by the same trick, and not all
those swindled were residents of
of the rural districts. Yet the news
that the man who devised the
swindle has just died will seem
interesting, for in popular estima
tion the gold-biick fraud seems as
old as the hills, and, we might
add, as enduring.—Philadelphia

Look for th Warning.
Heart disease kills suddenly, but
■ever without warning. The warn

“it will pass away ” Alas, it never
passes away voluntarily. Once in
stalled, heart disease never gets bet
