The books are open for the reg istration of votes in the electric 1 ght bond election to come oh June 22nd and will be f >und at the city hall. The notice appears elsewhere. Be certain and regis ter and make up your mind how you will vote afterwards. The question of placing an ad ditional debt of SIO,OOO upon the town is a serious one. But if the benefits to come therefrom are Sufficient the people should vote for bonds. There is no disputing the fact that Cartersville is in a bad way as to streetlight'.

A New York state lav prohibits the killing • f game birds out of season and lay- heavy fines upon any person who may be in posses ion of the bodies of game birds killed out of season. In New York city the other day a stale game protector invaded the rooms of a cold storage company, where he found grouse, quail, etc., to the amount of fifty thousand. Should the fines be levied according to the law it is estimated that the cold storage company would be assess ed something more than $1,000,- cco. 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.

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 Home Of course Atlanta figures in the Beaumont, Texas, oil fields. Capt. Lucas, the discoverer of thefielus, went from Atlanta a pauper and reported in eight months an oil prince.

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.
