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. PURELY LOCAL.
