The question of placing an ad

Philadelphia papers seem to find
satisfaction in the belief that the
oil that is found in the Beaumont
district, Texas, is fit only for fuel,
but their satisfaction will be short
lived if what Dr. Robt. T. Hill, of
the United States Geological Sur
vey, says, is correct.
Dr. Hill has just returned to
Washington from a trip through
the southwest, Texas, Mexico and
New Mexico. He says that a re
cent analysis shows that the crude
Texas oil contains 50 per cent, of
illuminating oil. In his opinion
the extent of the oil deposit in the
southwest is going to astonish the
world. Within a year’s time he
thinks oil will be discovered all
along the coast of the Gulf of
Mexico, not only in many Texas
counties, but also in Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama. Pros
pectors are now at work in all of
these states.

TWO-THIRDS VOTE.
Some difference of opinion has i
existed regarding the mode of de-,
termining the number of qalified ;
voters*in municipalities in elections j
for bonds for public improvements,
tins matter is governed by the pre
visions of the charter of each mu
nicipality desiring such elections.
If there is no provision or authority
in the charter for registration of
voters, then the question is deter
mined by the tally sheets of the
last general election held in the
city as provided by section 3SO,
Vol, 1, code of 1895, but where the
charter authorizes registration of
voters then a registration must be
had to determine the number of
qualified voters in the municipal
ity. The supreme court in a re
cent decision say, “Certainly the
registration book affords a list of
the qualified voters more accu
rately than any other practicable
method which could be prescribed,
and decisions of this court hereto
fore made are in effect that the as
certainment of the number of qual
ified voters must be had by refer
ence to the registratation lists. It
has been distinctly so ruled, etc.,
and the court says further, that
“Whenever the legislature has
provided for a registration of vot
ers in a municipality the number
of voters registered thereunder, is
the true test for ascertaining
whether the requisite two-thirds
majority of the qualified voters of
such municipality has been ob
tained.” The same court says fur-
ther, “If the municipality has been
invested by the legislature with
authority to put a system of regis
tration in force, and an election is
held without having provided a
system of registration, no means
of determining whether two-thirds
of the qualified voters did,
in* fact cast their votes for
bonds exists. If nj registration
law is applicable and no authority
to establish one has been conferred
on the municipality, and the elect
ion for bonds is held, then the
question as to whether two-thirds
of the qualified voters voted in
favor of the issuance of bonds is to
be decided by ret ire nee to the
tally sheets ot the last general
election.”
The charter of the city of Car
tersville provides for and author
izes the registration of voters for
any election held in the city and it
would seem that the registia
tion must be had to make the bond
election legal and of any authori-
ty.
The mayor and aldermen, after
carefully considering the matter,
have ordered a registration for the
approaching electric light bond
election and the qualified voters
will do well to register.
WORDS OF ADVICE-
Within the next fifteen days
hundreds of college graduates
will be turned loose on the world
for existence. Some may attain
fame others will do fairly well,
while many will only manage to
do enough to eke out a trifling ex
istence. A college education is
not all that is required to make
success. If you possess a college
education your road may be made
easier, but in the race for suprem
acy in the world of trade, art, lit
erature or whatever may be your
calling, brains and hard work are
sure to come out triumphant u ver
all competitors, making your col
lege equipment a secondary mat-
ter. Thousands of dollars are
wasted annually on young men
and young women, trying to pre
pare them for some profession they
dislike, are not capable to under
take. Study your boys and in
vestigate their want- and dislikes
in education matters, and help
them to select a profession for
which they are adapted. Good
money is too often spent in un
wisely selecting a career for your
boy or girl.—Talladega Mountain

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA.
THE WHITE PRIMARY,
In a timely and clearly stated
1 article on Georgia's political con
! ditions lames Callaway writes as
follows:'
Of all the southern states Geor
gia leads in the management of
negro suffrage. Here we dispose
of the negro vote by our solidity
and by the white primary. This
systejn is the best, for it regulates
the negrif whether he is educated
or a property holder. We dis
qualify him and yet we violate no
law. There is great danger of de
crease of cogressional representa
tion in some of the southern
states, but none for Georgia.
Our system is better than a
disfranchisement act. Under dis-
franchisement many negroes will
retain right of .suffrage —and ne
groes are being educated not only
in public sohools, bnt in many
high schools and colleges provided
for them, and are being rapidly
prepared to the educational de
mands.
The absence of a white republi
can party has hid this from us,
but when we divide and the repub
lican wing organizes the negro
vote, there will be trouble.
In North Carolina where the
white republican party is growing,
all the negro churches have been
turned into negro schools. In a
tew years this solid negro vote,
rendered eligible bv edut tion,
added to the white republican,
will render that party formidable.
In many districts and towns the
negro will cast the deciding vote.
Already many democrats in North
Carolina are regetting the disfran
chisement law and wish they had
adopted the Georgia law.
When a white republican par
ty springs up in southern states
the rich north will pour its money
here to educate the negroes, so as
to make them lawful voters, and
those negroes will always vote
with the republicans.
Northern republican papers are
urging the organization of a white
republican party, hoping for a di
vision of whites, knowing the ne
groes not disfranchised and those
being educated will flock to the re
publican side.
As it is now the white people
control. In Ohio the negro de
cides elections. He is the balance
of power.
Let us give the white primary a
faithful trial. If it is broken down
by the unthinking and fanatics
and an opposition party arises to
lead the negroes back into active
politics, it will be time enough
then to look to disfranchisement
as a remedy.
A TROUBLESOME QUESTION.
Are the courts going to continue
to punish Christian Scientists for
having refused to call regular
physicians when members of their
families have died for want of
medical attention? If so, there is
going to be a great increase in the
number of criminal cases on their
dockets. From statements re
cently made it appears that the
number of.Christian Scientists is
increasing rapidly. There are a
million of them in this country
now a nd in the course of a few
years there may be two millions.
The Pierson cases, reported in
the Morning News, were sad ones.
A daughter of a man named Pier
son, Christian Scientists, died re
cently from pneumonia. The man
was arrested, convicted and fined
SSOO. He refused to pay the fine,
although well able to do so. He
was sent to jail. The day after he
was sentenced another child, a
daughter, died of the same disease.
In neither case was a regular phy
sician called, both father and
mother being Christian Scientists,
not believing in medicine, but re
lying upon prayer and faith tor
the cure of their children. When
the second ehild died the mother
with two remaining children fled
the town, fearing the authorities
would arrest her.
There is certain to be a steadily
increasing number of these cases.
What are the authorities to do?
There is no doubt about the sin
cerity of the Christian Scientists.
They are convinced they can do
more by prayer than can be done
by the most skillful physicians in
healing the sick. Experience,
however, teaches the contrary.
Almost every day there is an ac
count in the papers in some part
of the country of the death of a
person alleged to be due to lack of
medical attention.
Fines and imprisonments will
not cause Cristian Scientists to
abandon their method of treating
the sick. Punishment by the
courts will onlv have the effect of
confirming them in the belief that
the doctrines they teach are cor
rect. They will say that they are
being persecuted and they will
believe it. The probabilities are
that the more interference there
is with them by the courts the
more rapidly will their church
grow’. If ignored, the Christian
Science religion might die out.
On that, however, nothing can be
said definitely.
But it is a pity that so many
children have to suffer because of
the belief of parents. If only
those were concerned who are old
enough to think for themselves the
situation would not be so bad, but
when helpless children are permit
ted to suffer and die for want of
medicine and medical skill that
are within reach, there is natur
ally a public protest and a demand
that those responsible for such
deaths shall be punished. But as
already stated the problem is one
for which there does not seem to
be any solution. The offenders,
being sincere in the belief that
they are doing what is right, can
not be influenced or driven into
employing regular physicians and
punishment causes the numbers of
them to increase.—Savannah News
Possibilities of the Postel System.
Cheap Mail Facilities One of the Chief Factors
In Our Prosperity and Progress.
“ Common is the commonplace.” The
most valuable of civil benefits is such a
commonplace matter, that we scarcely
give it a thought. It would take a win
ter on a whaler nipped in an ice floe to
make us truly appreciable of the worth
of the postal service. What a wonder
ful thing it is ! Wonderful in its organ
ization, with its vast machinery for the
collection and distribution of letters, its
railway mail cars, its route riders, the
unfailing order and precision of its
methods. Wonderful it is too in its re
sults. It knits together families widely
separated. It carries across the sea
some tender lover’s message or perhaps
a little flower picked from the daisied
grave of an English churchyard. Every
hour of every day the mail bag is packed
with words which waken love and laugh
ter, and words which deepen the furrow
in the cheek and dim the failing sight
with bitter tears.
But with all this there is going on
through the mail service a dissemina
tion of human knowledge, a reaching
out of human help which is one of the
crowning blessings of our century. The
correspondence schools led by Chautau
qua, are sending to every village and
hamlet the broader knowledge which is
so eagerly craved by many who are shut
in to the homely duties of a humble
life. Without the mail system this plan
of education would be impracticable.
Every mail, too, carries from the great
centers, the advice of great physicians,
which it would be impossible for the
distant public to obtain were it not for
the mails. Few people realize how
many thousand people depend on the
mail service for medical treatment. Not
long ago when some postal affairs were
being discussed in connection with the
erection of the new postoffice building
in Buffalo, N. Y., some light was thrown
on this subject by the statement that
the mail by Dr. R V. Pierce amounted
daily to something over 1,500 pieces.
Of course this is not a common case, be
cause Dr. Pierce’s relation as chief con
sulting physician to Buffalo’s famous
institution, The Invalids’ Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, makes his advice and
that of his staff of nearly a score of
skilled and experienced specialists much
sought after, especially by women, to
the treatment and cure of whose special
diseases Dr. Pierce has devoted over
thirty years of almost constant labor.
But though this example is out of the
ordinary, it may serve as an evidence of
the amazing benefits reaped by the pub
lic from the mail service. It puts every
outlying hamlet in touch with the most
advanced medical specialism of the day.
It gives at a cost of a two-cent stamp,
the skill and experience that it has taken
I years to acquire. laterally at the cost
of a two-cerit stamp, since Dr. Pierce
invites sick women to consult him by
letter without charge. And this would
| seem to be one of the most remarkable
i services rendered by the postal system,
I perhaps the supreme service of all. For
: while it is a splendid thing to be able to
: shop in New York while living in Kan
; sas, and a grand tiling to be able to
! command the learning of great pro
fessors while working m the Michigan
woods, it is a still grander thing that by
means of this cheaply supplied service,
men like Dr. Pierce, who have the dis
position to be helpful, are enabled to
place their skill aigl knowledge at the
disposal of those who are being dragged
down by disease, without the possibility
iof help from those about them. When
one contemplates the vast and far reach
ing benefits of the mail service, so briefly
touched upon in this article, it makes
the familiar gray uniform of the postman
the most glorious of all uniforms, for it is
worn by the soldiers of the army of peace.
*lt makes one feel like taking his hat off
to the on-rushing mail train, and cheer
ing the work and wisdom of Uncle Sam.

Heart disease kills suddenly, but

be startling and extend over many
years, but they are none the less
certain and positive. Too often the
victim is deceived by the thought,
“it will pass away.” Alas, it neve?
passes away voluntarily. Once in
stalled, heart disease never gets bet
ter of itself. If Dr. Miles’ Heart
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 subject
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
recorn mended to me and doctored
with the leading physicians of thi*
section but obtained no help until 1
began taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure.
It has done me more good than ail
