THE DRUGGIST.
Deserted by Her Husband-
The Marietta Herald of Tuesday
has this:
Mr. Charles Leard relates a very
touching incident which transpired
Sunday morning on the south bound
passenger train.
Mr. Leard boarded the train at
this place for Atlanta. When he
passed into the car to take a seat
he noticed a woman immediately
in front of him with a small infant
in her arms. The mother was
weeping as if her heart would
break. *
Mr. Leard began to enquire from
the passengers the cause of the wo
man’s grief and was told she, desir
ing to visit her parents near Gaines
ville, had gotten on the train at
Cartersville, her home, with her
husband who had purchased her a
ticket as far as Atlanta. But as
they pulled out of that city, he (his
name is not known) jumped off the
oar and left his wife and child to
care for themselves, he evidently
being weary of them.
The eoaductor went through the
train explaining the woman’s aitua-
Kon and the sympathetic passengers
quickly made ap a sufficient purse
to carry the poor unfortunate te her
people in Hall county.
Card ofThanks-
We hereby take this mode ef
thanking the friends of eur family
fsr their many kind favors shown
te our father, Mr. W. L. Goodwin,
daring his present illness. We
have reason to believe he is improv
ing and will l e up in a few days.
Misses Goodwin.

He is Willing to Trust America to
Fulfill All Pledges.
HIS SOLDIERS SHOULD BE PAID
Thinks the Old Leader, and Will
Postpone Disbandment Until
the Spaniards Leave.
Washington, Nov. o.—Following
is an extract from a letter received
by Senor Quesada from Gen. Go
mez, writtin October 20:
“1 have full confidence in the
solemn promises made by the con
gress at Washington, and for that
reason I do not have any fear as to
tee independence of Cuba. Borne
time must elapse before our ideal
will be realized, but after so many
struggles and privations w i can
wait a little longer,
‘‘The military occupation by the
United States is to a certain extent
necessary to prepare to hurry the
evacuation of the Spanish and to
bring about harmony among the
different factors in Cuban politics
“During this military occupation
the republican government will be
organized. Its decisions will be
finally accepted by all; order will
reign everywhere.
“Those who speak now of annex
ation try to satisfy, above all, their
spite by propagating unfounded
fears as to personal security and
private property.
“The success of cur struggle has
required necessary destruction of
property which the enemy used to
its advantage, but we have never
attacked individuals.
“The struggle against Spain is new
ended; we commence now a more
delicate and difficult task—namely,
to make our republican political
system triumph and to reconstruct
the country.
“It is not an easy labor, and all
men who loved their country should
contibute to it; for that reason
I cannot retire now notwithstand
ing my 61 years.
“Most of the officers and soldiers
went into the field obeying my
orders; I cannot abandon them
until their future is assured. They
have lost everything they had,
they have a right to some compen
sation, and above all to their salar
ies; the new government must se
cure them.
‘•The disbandment cannot occur
until the Spaniards have evacua
ted; my mea cannot be abandoned
without bread or work, to the mercy
of their enemies. A solution could
be found, perhaps, in the plan
which the American government
is said to have ef creating a native
cival guard formed in the majority
of Cuban soldiers. This organiza
tion would offer the advantage of
not exposing the American troops
to the deadly climate of the island,
and at the same time the United
States world have helpers who
know the country thoroughly. Id
the meantime and until the evacu
ation occurs food must be provided
for my soldiers.
“The evacuation should be as
rapid as possible, and afterwards
everything will be arranged, for
the American government will ful
fill its moral pledges to us. Some
people have tried te make up sus
picious, so as te brieg about trouble,
but hefere dsnblieg the good faith
of the American people we must
wait for aetc whish shall give the
lie to their solsme pledge.”

ELECTION TOESDAI.
Democrats Elected in Every Dis
trict in Georgia.
A LIGHT VOTE IN BARTOW-
Democrats Probably Have Major
ity In the National
House.
The election in Bartow Tuesday
was a quiet one, a very light vote
being cast. There were only 126
votes polled at the Cartersville
precinct and only two of those for
Austin.
At Emerson there were only
seven votes cast and at a number ot
other precincts but few above that
nu m be r.
The democrats were successful
in every one of the Georgia dis
tricts and advices from other states
are of a nature creating belief that
the party will have a majority in
the lower house of congress.
Indications are that Roosevelt,
the republican, has won in New
York In the governorship race by
about 20.000.
Old North Carolina has redeemed
herself from negro rule and intelli
gence and respectability will hence
forth rule her affairs.
RUN OVER BY DRAY.
Nearroßoy Hurt While Hauling a
Load of Coal.
A little negro boy ten years old,
named Warren Jones, happened to
an accident Tuesday that came
near costing him his life, and as it
is he has been laid up with some
painful bruises. He was driving a
dray tor Lewis Allen and was on a
load of coal that had just been
weighed on the scales near the
railroad on the east side of the
square, As the mule started off
the scales with the dray the boy
lost his balance and fell to the
ground. His body fell partly under
the dray and one of the wheels
grazed his right side, inflicting
bruises on his hips, arm and head.
He was picked up and was thought
to have been fatally hurt out Dr.
Hightower, who afterwards exam
ined him, found no vital parts af
fected.
