Mrs. Lease told a New York reporter the other day “not to print her name as from Kansas;” that she was ashamed of Kansas. Kansas must certainly be getting low in human estimation when Mary Yellin turns her back upon her. And now some people are talk ing about Treasurer Bob Park for governor, all because he had the backbone to do his duty as he saw it. He may have been mistaken in his position as to the public property fuud yet he was right in carrying it to the supreme court for final settlement. The viaduct to be built at the Whitehall street crossing in At lanta will be the biggest improve ment the city has had in years, Already magnificent buildings are being planned to take the place of the old ones along Whitehall. But oh, if Atlanta could just get that new passenger depot. The old democratic party came here before its self-appointed lead ers did and those who have sub sisted upon its victories, and now fearful of its death may yet be fooled. Like barnacles they fall off of what they think, a sinking ship, but the old party is too preg nant of the truest principles to be affected by the loss of those that would have us think it is a party of spoils. Judge Speer's newly appointed assistant United States district attorney, Mr. Alex Akerman, is making a fine record. Last week he tried thirty cases before Judge Speer and secured convictions in all except four. Mr. Akerman is is the son of the late Amos T.

Considerable interest is being manifested in political circles over over the recent letters of Col. T. C. Crenshaw, of Cartersville, addressed to Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, and Col. Crenshaw is being handled in some guarters roughly, while some of the influential papers of the state see nothing in his letters to bring him censure. By reason of the fact that Col. Crenshaw has long been a recognized leader in state politics, and as a*courtesy to him as one cf our prominent citizens. The News reproduces his last letter to Senator McLau rin. At the same time we reproduce the most intelligent and fairest crit icism of Cos!. Crenshaw’s letter that we have yet seen. It is from the gifted pen of Mr. O. G. Cox, of the LaGrange Graphic. Mr. Cox covers the ground very nicely. Chairman Crenshaw’s second letter to Senator McLaurin is as follower “Replying to your letter of the 27th ultimo, I beg to say that at the time of writing you my approv al of your Charlotte speech and your course in the U. S. Senate it did not occur to me that you would care to give it publicity, or else I would have been more pains taking in the preparation of the letter. 1 never wrote anything, however, that I am unwilling to stand by, and you are therefore authorized to use the letter in any way that may seem proper to you. “I desire to say, in addition to what I have already written you, that I am a lifelong democrat, have known nothing but democracy from the cradle up, and that I have worked as hard and done as much for the democratic party as almost any man in the country. I have lived at LaGrange, Troup county, in this state, the greater portion of my life. I was twice nominated by the democratic party and elect ed alderman of the city of La- Grange; once nominated by the democratic party and elected may or of the city of LaGrange; twice nominated by the democratic par ty and elected represenative in the Georgia legislature from Troup county. I was the first collector of internal revenue appointed by President Cleveland in 1885 and was among the last of collectors of internal revenue remov ed by President Harrison in 1889. I was then for seven years claim ad juster of the Central of Georgia Railway and Banking Company. I am now chairman'of the railroad commission of Georgia, having been appointed one of the three members of the board of railroad commissioners as a democrat in 1896. 1 love everything connect- ed with sound democracy, and it distresses me to see the party holding to politics that are not on ly detrimental to the best interests of the south—especially the At lantic and gulf states —but ruin ous the country at large. I am glad to see you leading in an ef fort to induce the democratic par ty of your state to drop dead is sues and get on a sound, progress ive and statesmanlike platform. “You will doubtless receive much censure from some of your former friends and supporters on account of the views yon enter tain. but you are unquestionably right in the positon you have as sumed; and oou ought to be suc cessful in your undertaking, and I believe you will be when the peo ple thoroughly understand the sit uation. 1 am neither a propliet nor the son of a prophet; but venture the prediction that the democracy v ill never win again in a presidentiat election until it changes its policy and adonts for its platform sounder, broader and more patriotic principles than Mr. Brian has by his dictatorship com mitted the party to. The day has passed when a political party can triumph in a national election on merely sentimental issues. When Mr. Bryan announced that ‘imper ialism was the paramount issue’ in the presidential campaign of 1900 I at once come to the con clusion that there was not the re motest possibility of his election. “The cry of ’imperialism’ anc opposition to everything propos ed by the party in power, without proposing something bstter, is not sufficient to defeat the republicans in a national contest. “I am a believer in the doctrine of sound money and expansion; and it will not be long before the correctness of my position upon both of these great questions wil be endorsed by the entire south. Expansion and sound money means increase in the commerce of our country, higher prices for la bor and the products of labor and greater prosperity generally. As soon as the Chinese ‘troubles are settled, and with the ‘open door’ policy maintained, the United enjoy a long period of THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA nessed in a civilized country. Much will be gained for the cotton producing states by the acquisi tion of the Philippine islands. When Manilla becomes American ized and our people brought in close touch with the Chinese and Japanese nations (countries inhab ited bv hundreds of millions of people, all of whom, on account of climatic conditions use and consume only cotton goods) there will be under-pro duction instead of over-produc tion of the fleecy staple; the price of cotton will be advanced and the hills of the Carolinas and Georgia will ‘blossom as the rose.’ The southland will literally ‘flow with milk and honey.’ Manila will in the course of time not only be come one of the most prosperous cities in the world, but will be the gateway through which American ships will pass in carrying Ameri commerce to the far east. The trade is in sight, but unfortunate ly American ships are not. I for one, therefore, say if we cannot get them without a subsidy, let us have them with a subsidy. “It is humiliating to me, and should be to every one who loves his country, to see none but ves sels that carry foreign flags enter ing and leaving our own ports. Conditions have changed, and are now entirely different from what they were in years gone by. A political party, to be successful, must keep up with the times. It must stand upon the living issues of the day and abandon the follies of the past. Our country has just passed through a cruel though suc cessful war; and although it has brought bereavement and sor row to many hearts, has cast gloom over many households, it has not been without glorious re sults. “Sentiment and unwise states manship in the early sixties cost the south billions of dollars and put her back almost a century. It strikes me it is about time for our people to begin to do their own thinking when confronted by grave and momentous issues, and not follow blindly the leadership of those who think it is a crime for the individuals composing the party to follow the dictates of their own conscience. A political party can no more succeed by a policy of intolerance than could a church with infidels for its membership. Very truly yours, “T. C. Crenshaw.’’ From the LaGrange Grnphic. The Graphic has long been the sersonal and political friend of Hon. T. C. Crenshaw, the present railroad commissioner of Georgia We endorsed him editorially when he first applied, signed a petition from our citizens asking for his appointment, and were extremely gratified by his success in secur ing the place. We are still his personal friend, and tor that rea son we are very sorry to see him trembling so near the brink of re publicanism as is indicated by a recent letter which he wrote to Senator McLaurin, of South Car olina, who while enjoying all the emoluments of an office to which he was elected by democratic votes supports in loto republican meas ures. Mr. Crenswaw begins by saying that Senator McLaurin’s speech de livered at Charlotte, N. C. meets with his hearty approval, and adds “1 have watched >our course in the Uuited State’s senate with much interest, because I have been for quite a while advocating the same line of policy.” Further on he says “1 endorse your entire course in the United States senate, including the speech you made in favor of the subsidy bill.” From the closing of his letter we quote the following: “I voted for Mr. Bryan twice, and each time that I did so I voted against mv convictions. Although I voted for Mr. Bryan, I believed that his election would have been detrimental to the best interests of our country, more especially the South; and for this reason I really wanted Mr. McKinley elected” The Graphic regrets Mr. Cren shaw’s position, and is sorry to see his talents turned against the prin ciples which constitute the basis of democracy. One great cause of the failure of the democratic partv in national affairs, has been all the time that it contained too many men like Mr. Crenshaw, who while voting the democratic ticket “real ly wanted the republican candi date elected. Men holding posi tions of honor and profit given them by the democratic party who “really want” republicans elected, crush out any enthusiasm for the triumph of democracy, and make party success almost impossible. In the future, if such a thing is possible, let us give the places at the disposal of the democratic party to the men who “really want” to see democrats elected.

The French have a great dread jof appendicitis. They say it is an American disease and, having no word to express it in their lan -1 guage, have adopted the Ameri can term. The French stand in mortal terror of the knife and they have adopted anew treatment, which, by the way, is becoming popular in New York. This seems to be the oil treatment, a description, of which Surgeon- General Terry, of New York has given to the medical profession, supplemented by the use of the compress. It will, in almost every case result in cure if it is adopted in time. Last week Dr. Terry had an experience at Princeton. A son of one of the most promi nent surgeons of Missouri, who is a student at Princeton, was strut ted with appendicitis. Dr. Terry is a friend of the family and he was summoned to Princeton, al though £he opinion of some of the local physicians was that the case called for the immediate use of the knife. When the doctor reached Princeton he found the patient’s pulse 120 and his temperature a little over 104. The oil treatment was immediately administered, with the compress. Within an hour relief was observed. By the next morning both temperature and pulse had fallen, and two days later Dr. Terry found his patient strong enough to permit his re moval from Princeton to Dr. Ter ry’s home in Utica. The latest re port from Utica was that the early recovery of the young man was expected. One or two prominent citizens of New York ’.ere taken down with appendicitis in Paris last summer. The French physi cians treated the disease without the knife, although in one case the attack was very acute. The patients recovered, returned to New York, and have been appa rently in perfect health since their return. IT DAZZLES THE WORLD.

He is an expert up on all matteis about cotton mill machinery and has gone back to the beginning of the gin. Mr. Tompkins is not entirely” correct, however, in some of his conclu sions and we do not know that he has had access to any more light than the other men who have writ ten up the gin in former articles. Mr. Tompkins review's the cir cumstances attending the coming of Eli Whitney to Savannah; how the young Yale graduate came to Georgia to be a tutor in a private family, and how' disappointed he was when he found the place filled, how the widow of Nathaniel Greene, who had met him on the ship, invited him to her house and supplied him with means and books to study law'. She soon found that the young man had a fine mechanical turn and called on him to get up some mechanical de vice that would detach cotton lint from the seed. With a woman’s intuition she believd that Whitney could make such an invention. Accordingly the young man went to work, and in June, 1794, lie ap plied for a patent, which was is sued to him the following year. The machine consisted of spikes Look for the Warning.

Mr. Tompkins conchies that Whitney’s inyention was crude, but funda mental. The practical application of this idea w'as made by Hodgson Holmes, a Georgia mechanic, practical, but illiterate. He in vented an improved gin using cir cular saws properly spaced be tween ribs. This also was patent ed in 1796. Whether Whitney took it from Hodgson or Hodgson got it from Whitney will probably never be know'n. Mr. Tompkins’ pamplet does not throw much light on this subject. Mr. Tompkins combats the idea that Whitney w'as badly treated in the south. He says that he re ceived from South Carolina $50,- 000, from North Carolina $30,000, and from Tennessee SIO,OOO in the way of royalties. Whitney got in to trouble in Georgia for trying to monopolize the ginning business. This brought on long, vexatious litigation. * A WORTHY SUCCESSOR. “SomethinK New Under The Sun.” Alt do tors have tried to cure CA TARRH by the use of powders, acid, gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
