If you distinguish any sulphuric
atmosphere this week, you can
probably trace its origin to Savan
nah. Sam Jones and the Elks have
locked horns.
The Worcester, Mass., Method
est ministers have found out that
President McKinley once drank
champagne while on a bottle ship,
and proceeds to roast him lor it.
By the discovery of the South
ern oil fields petroleum is so cheap
that some of the towns near by
are contemplating sprinkling the
streets with it to allay the dust.
Hon. Joe Hall, the Macon legis
lator, talked to the people of
Oglethorpe upon the political is
sues of the day, Saturday. Possi
bly Mr. Hall is trimming his sails
for anything he can get.
Steve Posted, the Atlanta cor
respondent of the Macon Tele
graph, terms Steve Clay, Judge
Gober, Carter Tate and Tom
Hutchinson the big four in North
Georgia politics.
Revs. Sam Jones and George
Stuart are shelling the woods of
Savannah this week. The town
was much stirred up over the
meeting long before it opened and
no doubt the old town
is fur .ishing an ample supply of
heat just now.
If any of our brother editors
have a few hundred millions to
lead they can find a desirable appli
cant in uncle Li Hung Chang, the
Chinese premier. As we are back
ing Pierrepont Morgan in his En
glish deals we have regretfuly
turned the application down.
Cedartown is the queen of North
Georgia this week. It is sublime
ly refreshing the way those Cedar
town folks have handled her street
fair and tournament this week.
Everything is being done on a
scale that would be creditable to
large cities. Great is Cedartown.
and no mistake about it.
The Houston Post settles the
pronunciation of its progressive
city for all time as follows: “The
Birmingham Age-Herald asks: ‘ls
it Houston, or Howston, or Hoos
ton? The name of the Texas town
seems to be beyond the art of the
geographical pronunciation.' It’s
not Howston or Hooston, but
H-you-ston or Hugh-ston. New
York, howe\er, has a barbarous
way of calling one of its streets
with a similarly spelled name,
Howston.
Looking over this week’s Mari
etta Journal one is attracted by the
large number of live snappy ad
vertisements of local people. Be
tween fifty and sixty were counted,
ranging from an inch to half page.
No wonder Marietta is a live town.
By looking over the Cartersville
papers you will discover that less
than a half dozen people use ad
vertising space actively* Yet the
country around Marietta does not
near compare with that around
Cartersville in point of fertility of
soil and richness in minerals. It
is high time a committee is ap
pointed to find out what’s the'mnt
ter with things in this bailiwick
-anyhow.
DISAPPOINTMENTS Of PUBLIC LIFE.
The allurements and attractions
of public life have led many men,
against their better judgment,
into the pursuit of office. From a
puiely material point of view,
public office offers no advantages
to an honest, capable man. He
who aspires to serve the public in
the field of statesmanship should
be impel'cd by something more
than a mere selfish ambition. If
he lack ability, integrity, courage,
a high sense of duty, his desire for
high public p >sition, is an un
worthy ambition. Financial for
tune is not to be won by the hon
est public servant. There is no
money in public position. It has
kept many men poor, and it is the
lament of many that they did not
engage in private business instead
of politics and the public service
in early life Of his early hopes
and ambitions and the exactions
of public life, Senator Hoar recent
ly said:
“Before I came to congress 1
had built up a law practice that
brought me an income of $20,000
a year, and every reason to be
lieve that the practice w' nuld gro. 7 '
to $50,000. I had saved from m *
income about SIOO,OOO, and I
believed I could keep my practice
and still attend to my duties in
congress. After more than thirty
years in the public service, I find
myself at seventy-five with my
law practice gone and the accu
mulation of my young days dis
sipated. It is impossible to remain
in congress and attend to one’s
duties and at the same time con
tinue an outside business.”
Six months before his death
Senator Isham G. Harris regreted
that he ever abandoned the prac
tice of law for politics and public
office, and declared that if he had
his life to live over again he
would make no such mistake. Yet
Senator Harris was a success in
public life, as success is under
stood. He was never defeated for
public place. He was in office for
thirty years; he was four times
elected to the senate; he exercised
a political influence and power in
Tennessee such as few men ever
wielced. Senator Hoar has been
five times elected to the senate. lie
was for eight years a member of
the house. He is one of the most
polished and cultured men that
ever occupied a seat in the Amer
ican senate. His record is without
taint of personal dishonesty. He
entered congress with a comforta
ble fortune; he will retire from it
or die in the service a poor man.
There are few rich men among
the old senators. The wealthy sen
ators are those who accumulated
fortunes in business before enter
ing the senate.
Whatever regrets may be ex
pressed by those in public life
that they ever entered upon such
a career it is to be noted that very
few voluntarily retire from it. To
retire after years of service is like
beginning life over, in a business
way. To many defeat is a sorrow
whose bitterness they undertake
to conceal. John J. Ingalls referred
to his defeat in 1890 as a “tragedy.
five years later, with hope and
ambition still alive, and with fair
prospect of re-entrance to the lost
Eden, Ingalls said:
“I never had but one moment's
agony in connection with the
tragedy. I knew in October before
the election that 1 was beaten. I
went on and made the fight and
had great meetings, but the tide
was not in my direction. I could
see that. When the returns came
in and I saw how overwhelming
my defeat was and what it meant
tome —the end of 18 years in the
American senate, possibly the end
of my public life—l confess that
agony was in my soul. It was a
beautiful day. Everybody was
watching me to see how I was
going to take it—all my friends.
It was a tragic hour. I went over
to my pasture and walked through
the withered w'ood. There in a
little grassy glade, sheltered from
the autumnal breeze, the sun
shining coldly down, I opened the
windows of my spirit and let that
whole thing in on mt, and com
manded my fortitude. I sat there
in that little dell until the struggle
was over, until 1 was master of
myself; until I could talk of it
with the same composure as of
Napoleon’s Waterloo. I never had
a pang after that. Even when the
gavel fell that sounded the ad
journment of the senate at noon
March 4, 1891, and made me a
private citizen, the pages bidding
me goodbye, the struggle of that
autumn day in the wood did not
return. When I left the senate
chamber, which I have not visited
since, I had no resentment. If 1
lose this time, I shall accept the
res lit as 1 did then. But I shall
no 1 , fail. It is so written.”
It was not so written, and after
his second defeat Ingalls put off
hope and kept it no longer for a
flatterer. He continued “ a states
man without a job” until the end,
writing a little, lecturing a little
and even reporting a prize fight
for a yellow newspaper. Even
amid successes the field of politics
is filled with disappointments.
TIIE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA .
| The element of dcubt and uncer
| tainty, the continued struggle for
1 supremacy or success, the fickle
ness of the public, the fears and
worries that continually beset
those who appeal for public fa
vors, the variableness of the pop
ular breeze, the real or imaginary
obstacles to that freedom of speech
and action and honast expression
of independent thought which ev
erv manly man prefers—these are
but part of the cares and cro ses
that attend the man in public life,
a life which, in spite of its shad
ows, lures and facinates so many,
and to whom, in most instances,
disappointment must come at last.
It is not strange that in these mod
ern days of great opportunities
and possibilities in other lines of
endeavor, where the rewards are
greater and more enduring, that
so few really strong men are at
tracted by political life or public
portion. This is for the most part
a political era of little men, and
the arts of the demagogue were
never more in vogue.—Nashvil’e
American.
Verily the path of the country
editor is a path of thorns. His
bread is promises and his meat is
disappointment. His creditors
chaseth him by day and the devil
grinneth at him in his dreams.
One subscription in wood and be
hold it is rotten and soggy and of
short measure. His “exchanges”
are waded in a most merciless
manner and he is dearsant to
grunt. He whoopeth up the coun
try politicians who get elected
and knoweth him no more. He
puffeth the church supper gratis,
and attendeth it and payeth his
dollar and receiveth two ovsters.
Two young people marry and he
giveth them a great puff; they
goeth to housekeeping and taketh
not his paper. Yes, he is bound
with woe and his days are full of
grief and trouble and vexation.
But sorrow endureth only for a
night and joy cometh in the morn
ing. He ploddeth along and en
dureth in patience and it is written
that he will receive his reward at
the judgment.

Look for the Warning*
Heart disease kills suddenly, but
■ever without warning. The warn
ings may be faint ana brief, or may
be startling and extend over many
years, but they are none the ies*
certain and positive. Too often th*
victim is deceived by the thought,
“it will pass away.” Alas, it usvm
passes away voluntarily. One* in
stalled, heart disease never gets bet
ter of itself, if l>r. Miles’ Hear!
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 sublet*
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 this
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.”
