A PEEP AT POSSIBILITIES
“There can be no omelette with
out the breaking of eggs,” said a
sage of the long ago. It is no
wail we would here indite, but if,
through an expression however
crudely given or simple, the Cour
ant American can awaken in the
slightest measure an interest in
local progressiveness, we will feel
that our words are not in vain.
In all seriousness, we ask our
people to view the history of the
past few years and compare the
' might have been” with the “has
been,” and say if we have come up
to the full measure of our oppor
tunities in progressiveness. We
do not mean to discount in the
least Cartersville’s general strides
forward, but as many particles
make a great whole, we observe
with regret the absence of that
special enterprise that in these
days seems to keep a community
along with other communities or
ahead in its course upward and on
ward.
Cartersville is blessed with all
the natural advantages a town
could wish. Her agricultural sur
roundings and mineral riches con
tiguous are not to be equaled in
the south. These things have
caused the town to go forward in
spite of itself, and if these alone
could cause her to outstrip her
neighbors she would now be away
in the lead of others. But of all
things that carry communities for
ward these days manufactories
have been proven the crowning
agencies. If Cartersville can be
accused of having been lax in any
one regard it might be said that
this was her source of derelictness.
It is often urged that there are
no capilatists among our citizens;
that each one has about as much
as he can handle in his own in
dividual interests. Could not the
same thing be said of Marietta.
Cedartown, Dalton, Gainesville
and Newnan, which it is to,be re
gretted have outstripped Carters
ville in the establishment or secur
ing of enterprises. Nearly every
one of these towns has its cotton
mill, to begin with, and other
enterprises that have followed.
True, some of the enterprises
they have been established
with foreign capital, and yet others
have been established with home
money through co-operation
among the citizens of the com
munity.
If Cartersville moves, up on to a
plane of permanent and lasting
prosperity in our judgment it
must be done on the line referred
to, and just as sure as one enter
prise is started and made a success,
others will follow. Small indus
tries, instead of being the least
despired often prove the most suc
cessful and beneficial to a com
munity. Nothing can be done
unless the effort is made, and
whatever exists now to prevent
movements in that direction must
be brushed away and a beginning
made, if we expect to accomplish
ends real and lasting in their bene
fits.
Georgia marble is being used by
the state of Rhode Island in the
construction of the new state house
in course of erection at Providence.
The building will be splendid
specimen of architecture, its dome
being an exact model of the dome
of the famous Taj Mahal of Agra,
la :a.
The date for the annual tourna
ment of the North Georgia, Ten
nessee and Alabama firemen in
Rome has been fixed for May 16th.
Some ten citiesAvill be represented
by teams, and the Rome firemen
are preparing to make it a great oc
casion. It will bring several hun
dred visitors to the city.
The farmers of Georgia will
have to buy less on credit this year
than any year before. Most of them
have raised corn and meat enough
to last them until another cfop is
made. It is a big advantage for a
farmer to be able to make a crop
without having to buy supplies at
credit prices, thinks the Columbus
Enquirer.

. BOOMtHERE TO STAY.
A prominent New York financier,
speaking of the present boom says:
“The present boom is the natur
al result of a healthy development
of trade and commerce throughout
the nation. We have conditions
that are unprecedented in Wall
street within the memory of its
present operators. The bank
statement of Saturday shows that
those institutions are in a healthy
condition. The trade in cotton
goods, in iron and in all the staples
of commerce is particularly vigor
ous. I believe that this great bull
market is based on the increase of
wealth in the nation brought about
by the improvement in the condi
tion of trade generally. Railroad
reorganization has contributed to
ward it. All lines of industry
feel the healthy reaction from the
period of depression that we have
passed through. I see 110 reason
why under the circumstances the
present boom should not continue
indefinitely.”
The editor of the Gibson (Ga.)
Banner makes the following pa
thetic appeal for “copy” in a recent
issue of his journal. “We want the
news. If your wife whips you, let
us know it, and we will put you
right before the world. If you
have company tell us —if you are
not ashamed of. your visitor. If
you have a party or gathering of
any kind bring around the cake,
seven or eight pies and a side of
ham—not necessarily to eat, but
just to show your friendship and
appreciation. You needn’t mind in
viting us, as it may be too cool for
our wardrobe. We want the news
—that’s all.”
Cupid breaks his bow at the sight
of a face full of pimples. Hollow
cheeks, sunken eyes, and a sallow
complexion will defy his best inten
tentions. Beauty is more than skin
deep. The skin is merely the sur
face on which is written in plain
characters the condition of the body.
I)r. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery is good for the complexion
because it makes the whole body
healthy—because it clears and pur
ifies the blood, makes the digestion
strong and clears out impurities of
ill kinds. Bv increasing the ability
to assimulate nutritious food, and
by the infusion of its own ingre
dients it enriches the blood and so
makes solid, healthy flesh. It cures
iiseases of the lungs,liver, stomach
nowels, skin and scalp, simply be
cause all these diseases spring from
the same cause—a disordered diges
ion and consequent impure blood.

THE CONSTITUTION.
Something About the Greatest
Weekly Newspaper-
TWO PAPERS AT REDUCED RATES
Take Your Home Paper and The
Constitution and Be
Happy.
VVe call special attention to our
clubbing arrangements with The
Weekly Constitution, published at
Atlanta, Ga. The clubbing price of
the two papers being only $1.50 per
year, subscriptions to he sent
through this office and the terms to
oe cash.
It is a fact perhaps not generally
known that The Weekly Constitu
tion has ttie largest circulation ol
any newspaper on the western
hemisphere. Only a few months
ago a large newspaper directory
questioned the claim of circulation
made by The Cons.itution and put
up a forfeit of SIOO that it could be
disproved that it had more than
100,000 circulation. The Constitu
tion promptly accepted the offer
and submitted its books to the re
presentative of the of the firm. Mr.
George P. Rowell, publisher of the
newspaper directory, acknowledg
ed his error publicly and paid the
forfeit.
The Constitution, while being a
democratic newspaper, is first and
above all things a newspaper. It is
a twelve-page, seven-column week
ly, making eighty-four colums each
week. Its subscription price is $1
a year, but if taken under the ar
rangement with this paper we can
give them both at the price above
named.
The Constitution has a special
coriespondent in eyery important
city in the United Statea and a
representative in all of the leading
centers of the world.
During the war with Spain, which
has just been brought to a close, the
reports of no newspaper in the
south could compare with its news
presentation from the tront. Its
special staff representative sailed
with the army when it first em
barked from Tampa, and of the 120
correspondents who went to Cuba,
he was one of only seven who re
mained to see the flag hoisted over
the public buildings in Santiago.
Its special representative also ac
companied the fleet in the Carib
bean sea, and its Washington spec
ial service covered every detail of
the important war reports originat
ing at the capitol.
The Weekly Constitution during
the late Spanish war served the
news of all the notable events, from
first to last, with the promptness of
a daily. The victory of Dewey at
Manila, the death of Ensign Bagley,
the movements of troops and fleets,
the destruction of Cervera’s fleet,
the operations in Porto Rico, the
treaty, and the unfurling of the
stars and stripes over Morro castle,
Havana were all given in The
Weekly on Monday, on the very
day the news first appeared in the
daily.
The Weekly Constitution makes
a special feature of its agricultural
page, which is presided over by
Colonel R. J. Redding, director of
the Georgia experiment farm, and
a man who is recognized as an ex
pert on all agricultural topics. He
gives a full page every week on
agricultuial matters. A page is
devoted to the women and a page
to children, these two departments
being presided over by Mrs. Wil
liam King.
Among the regular staff members
of The Constitution are Joel Chand
ler Harris, Frank L. Stanton and
others well known throughout the
country; while among its special
contributors are such men as Wal
lace P. Reed, Bill Arp, Sarge Plunk
ett, Betsy Hamilton, Dr. Talmage
and others of national reputation.
The Constitution has just com
pleted the thirtieth year of its ex
istence, Clark Howell being the
editor and Colonel W. A. Hemphill
its business manager. Its name is
a household word in every southern
state, from Virginia to Texas. It
has always been in especially close
touch with the agricultural masses
of the south, and in having reached
a circulation which carries it into
15,000 homes it has won a unique
distinction which ranks it among
the greatest of American weekly
newspapers.
The Constitution will send a sam
ple copy of its great weekly free to
anyone sending his own name and
the names of six neighbors, on a
postal card.
Everyman should take his coun
ty newspaper before anything else,
and next to this he should take a
good general newspaper, such as
The Constitution. His county pa
per gives, him the local home news,
which is not supplied hy a newspa
per furnishing the general news
from all parts of the country
and from all over the world. Befor
a man seeks inforinan from outside
lie should first feel sure that he is
being kept posted on what is going
on at home. This is why he should
take his county paper first. When,
how’ever, the opi>oitunity is offered
to get the best weekly newspaper
in this country with your home pa
per, the inducement is such as to
elicit prompt response from our
reader*.
We will be glad to receive club
bing subscriptions with this paper
and The Constitution, and if there
are any who aro now suoseribers to
this paper, who wish to take The
Constitution also, we will be glad
to receive subscriptions to the lat
ter and forward them, having au
thority from that paper to do so.
The Constitution should be in ev
ery southern home!

Get a Start
On Catarrh
And Save Endless Suf
fering which Winter
Brings.
The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. *ln fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still wdth
them, and as the winter advances,
their grows in severity.
Those’ wdio have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh maj’ be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
“For years I suffered from a severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. I was induced to try S. S. S.
(Swift’s Specific) and after two months
I was perfectly well and have never j
felt any effects of the disease since.
“B. P. McAllister,
“Harrodsburg, Ky.”
It is easy to see the importance
of prompt treatment for Catarrh.
