THE PEACH INDUSTRY, The News is glad to note the increasing interest in the immedi ate vicinity of Carterstille an the growing of peaches. If those that seem interested will carry out their plans a great many trees will be planted out the com ing fall and winter. Those who have planted good sized orchards are just now much pleased with the prospects for marketing the coming crop of El bertas most profitably. The Car tersville territory has been rather backward in the business but be coming impressed with the good fortune of the growers in the upper portion of this and nearby coun- ties they are spurred up to go into the business quite heavily. The fear of inability of market ing the fruit and the lack of ex perience have deterred them in the past, but these are being gradually overcome The experience with a limited number of trees have given them some ideas and the fact that buyers for the fruit are matching this territory eagerly gives them confidence in their ability to dispose of the fruit when grown. A New York man spent several days around here last week, soliciting shipments. At Adairs ville for the past several sea son buyers have been on hand to purchase all fruit offered for sale. This will be case in Cartersville as soon as the volume of business warrants it. The more trees planted the bigger the market and more cash buyers will be in evi dence. It is hoped that the industry will grow and that the fear that the business will be overdone will not deter any. It is a market that is practically in its infancy, so large growers say, and the field for enlargement is simply wonder ful. MR. BECKER’S LETTER. Mr. Norbert Becker, president of the Cartersville Light and Power company, has issued a cir cular letter to the people of Car tersville that contains some state ments that should not go unrefut ed. The purpose #>f Mr. Becker’s circular is to defeat the electric light bonds tomorrow. In this circular Mr. Becker says that “Said company has at all times faithfully complied with the same; it has established and maintained the required number of lampposts and has furnished the light for the same until the time the eitv authoritie made default in the payment therefor, although, in order to meet the wishes of your city council, the company had, prior thereto, upon their applica tion greatly reduced the contract price for the gas consumed.” Mr. Becker seems to have forgot ten to state why the city “made default of payment.” The truth is, owing to the general complaint among the citizens and consumers of the gas furnished by Mr. Becker’s company, the city at its own expense made a test of the quality of the gas. Under the contract fifty candle power gas was to be furnished. The test showed that only fifteen to twenty candle power was being furnished. The city had the company super intendent to join with it in a fair test and the result showed the same candle power. Mr. Becker’s attention was called to this and he agreed to increase the candle power. Two months, so we are in formed by a prominent member of couocih, passed and no improve ment, though the bills for fifty can dle power were paid promptly. When the payment for the third month was demanded the city council, which had been testing the gas and finding that only 15 to 20 candle power had been furnished cut the bill down accordingly. The city had been paying for 50 candle power lights and had been receiving much less than half. That is why the bills were not paid as made out by the gas com pany. These statements are made by the councihnen and in fairness to them they are made public, in asmuch as the town has been flooded with the Becker circulars, in which it is so strongly put that the people would be doing a mon strous bad thing in sot allowing Mr. Becker to supply the town with 20 candle gas and paying him a 50 candle price therefor. As Parkhurst says the southern people do not love the negro, on social equality lines and do not hesitate to say so, while north ern people feel the same way hut are not fair enough to say so above their bregth. To show how the northern people care for them, an incident from Muncie, Ind., will show where a hundred or more employees of the Republic company quit work today because the company put a colored man to work in the department where 100 girls are employed packing nuts and bolts. The girls refused to work where the colored man was, and the white men joined the girls. The entire plant may be closed down three weeks in advance of the regular shutdown. If this had happened in the south, another “southern outrage” would have been recorded in box car letters in every newspaper of that section. The democrats of South Caroli na will determine whether Senator McLaurin is very much bigger than his party or not. The demo crats voting in the primary will be pledged to support the nominees and the principles of the party. This will place McLaurin in the independent column cr drive him to the republican party. The Atlanta Journal twelve page State University centennial edition was about as perfect a piece of work, both in class of matter and handsome present ation as ever went from a south ern press. It is greatly appreci ated, a subject of no end of favor able criticism. The crops of Georgia, especially in the middle and southern parts, are in a miserable poor condition according to competent Atlanta authority. While north Georgia crops are some better, they are by no means the best. Senator Clay thinks Congress man Maddox, of Georgia, is one of the ablest men in the house, a splendid debater and influential with other congressman.—Marietta Journal.

Look Here All you good people who have assumed the risk of carrying your money about your person or keep ing it at your homes during the past three years, and have refused to keep a bank account, because of that little troublesome and ex pensive two cent stamp that the in ternal revenue act required to be placed on every check ; let me call your attention to the fact that on and after July Ist, lQol, you can keep your money in the First Nation al.Bauk, Cartersville, Ga .where it will be absolutely safe, and may be checked out by you whenever wanted , without any stamps, cost or expense to you, whatever.

H. Vivion, Cashier. Cartersville, Ga., June 20th, 1901. Many persons have had the experi ence of Mr. Peter Sherman, of North Stratford, N. H., who says. “For years I suffered torture from chronic indi gestion, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure made a well man of me.” It digests what you eat and is a certain cure for dyspepsia. and every form of stomach trouble, at once even in the worst cases and can’t help but do you good, Hall & Green. THE WEEKLY NjEWS, CARTERSVILLK, QA WHITE PRIMARY PLAN. Before plunging into complete negro disfranchisement the Ala bama press asks the constitution al convention to deal with the question with caution and wisdom. The Birmingham Age - Herald says: Georgia depends upon white primaries for the nomination of candidates, and then upon the prepayment of all taxes as a suf frage'condition for their election by whit men. Under this plan, says the Savannah News, “the state is not in much danger from illiteracy. The plan cost the peo ple something, but the cost is not a serious burden. It is certainly preferable to the loss of represen tation in congress and the elect> ral college.” The Georgia politicians are shrewd and far-sighted. They long have been. The danger thev see ahead is not by any means imag inary. Whenever the republican party is ready for the issue it will come, and representation will be based upon votes instead of popu lation. Whether this will be done by decisions in the supreme court or by congsess cannot be foreseen. Probably a decision by the court which consists of six republicans and three democrats will be utiliz ed as a basis for action by con- gress. The man who holds that the republicans will not do this very thing either does not under stand the courage of that party, or else he is willing to go ahead blindly. Now why should Alabama be thrown into such a political tangle to come out of it shorn of power in congress and in the electoral college, while Georgia and Ten nessee and Texas and Arkansas are tranquil and powerful? There is but one reason —thirteen black belt counties are over-nervous, and are demanding at the hands of the suffrage committee suffrage limitations that invite trouble — that make trouble from Washing ton possible, even probable. Neith er the “grandfather” nor the “un derstanding” clauses stand ap proved by the United States su preme court. The latter has been considered incidentally; the for mer has not been considered in that court at all. Both are open to attack there. Why put our selves once more at the mercy of the republican party ? The only answer is, the black belt demands more than a poll tax provision and white primaries. All experience in Louisiana, Mis sissippi, Georgia, South Carolina and TANARUS nnessee goes to show that the poll tax provision is sufficient alike to weed out corrupt practices and give a state a responsible if not an intelligent electorate. Three of the five states named have adopted other clauses only to find them inoperative. These three states —Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina —have secured the benefits of a poll tax provision, but they have needlessly incurred the dangers of a political mess over representation. If Alabama be wise in this day at Montgomery, she will join Georgia, Tennessee and Texas rather than Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina. So would the three states last named if they could, but they can not. MOZLEY’S LEMON ELIXIR Regulates the Liver, Stomach, Bowels and Kidneys.

Long years ago a well known clergyman, being anxious to in troduce anew series of hymn books into the church, requested the exhorter to make an announce ment to that effect immediately after the sermon. The exhorter promised to do so, and, after the sermon, arose, and desiring to call the members attention to another matter before mentioning the hymn books, said: “All those who have children they wish baptized will please send me their names.” The clergyman, who was very hard of hearing, assumed that the notice in reference to the hymn books had been given, arose and said: “And I should say for the ben efit of those who havn’t any that they may be obtained at the par sonage any day from 3 to 4 o'clock; the ordinary little ones at 5 cents each, and the special ones with red backs 25 cents.” SEVEN YEARS IN BED. “Will wonders ever cease?” in quire the friends of Mrs. L.
