A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
The question of anew court
house for Bartow county, 'soon to
he submitted to the people through
a ballot on $30,000 of bonds to be
issued, should be regarded in the
’light ola pure business proposition,
and sentiment and prejudice ought
not to figure in the question—of
course, public pride not to be dis
regarded.
The building we at present have
is condemned by ail sensible peop’e
as inadequate to the county’s
need in a temple or justice. Sure
ly, there can be none found who
would attempt to gainsay this prop
osition. The gradual state of de
cay which has beset it is sufficient
ly manifest to any who would not
designedly remain ignorant of its
condition. Repairs have already
been made to weak places which
can but temporarily stay its failing
conditions and the time is, coming
when —a mere hull—it will need
such additional repairs as will in
cur a considerable cost. Already
anew roof is a known early neces
sity. A visiting judge recently
sat in the jury room enjoying a
cigar during a court interval, when
water, leaking through the roof
and ceiling fell on his clothes,
necessitating his removal to a drier
spot. He looked at an official as
he said with emphasis: “It is a
shame that a county of Bartow’s
opulence, advantage and reputa
tion for thrift should content it
self with such a building for a
court house as this?” Every visitor
to the county seat, taking observa
tions is astounded that a people
like ours would put up with a
building so meanly adapted to the
public requirements.
Aside from its condition and in
conveniences as to arrangement,
the losses engendered in the useless
consumption of the time of courts
through the running of trains, ow
ing to the location, is an item by no
means to be disregarded. The
saving here alone in a temple
otherwise situated would not take
a generation to reach a sum to
cover the expense of anew struct
ure.
The exigencies of the hour de
mand anew court house and it
should be built.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
says as it is a good thing for the
farmers of this country round
about Macon that we have cotton
mills in our midst, so would it be
a good thing for the farmers if
there were tanneries and canneries
furniture factories and manufactur
ing establishments of every descrip
tion.
A whipping post in the public
square of every county would make
a vast improvement in the methods
of punishment in Georgia. It would
heat the ehaingang, thinks an ex
change.
NO USE
TRYING
I can't take plain cod-liver 1
oil. Doctor says, try it. He!
might as well tell me to melt i
lard or butter and try to take 1
them. It is too rich and
will upset the stomach. But
you can take rrHR or cream,
so you can take
Scoffs Emulsion
It is like cream; but will
feed and nourish when cream
will not. babies and chil
dren will thrive and grow
fat on it when their ordinary
food does not nourish them.
Persons have been known to gain
a pound a day when taking an
ounce of Scott’s Emulsion. It gets
the digestive machinery in working
order so that the ordinary food is
J properly digested and assimilated.

BETTER TIMES.
The fact that prices for all farm
products are so much better than
. c live been in Georgia for
some time past indicates aconsid
aule rev..... of business in Geor
gia. 'i he farmers generally are
upon safer ground than they have
been in years. The continued di
versification of crops coupled with
the liquidation of debts gives as
surance that times are going to be
better. The effect of the more
confident feeling is perceived in the
cities especially, where new mills
and factories and shops are in
course ot erection, new banks being
established, new lines of railroad
projected and municipal improve
ments everywhere.
If Georgia should enjoy two or
time good crop seasons in success
ion there would be prosperity in
deed.
No (Tty in the state is doing
better than Macon. It has been a
long time singe we had a business
failure. Our commercial and in
dustrial life rests upon a solid bas
is. While conservation is shown
by our local capitalists, they have
abundant money for all legitimate
enterprises, The spirit of co-op
eration wan never so pronounced
as it is today. It used to be diffi
cult to get men together for any
purpose, but that is true of 11s no
longer. The community is not ri
ven by factions and all persons
s *em ready and eager to join when
projects involving the general wel
fare are broached. It is this spirit
which will be fully revealed during
five Carnival week.
One of the gratifying indications
of Macon’s growth is seen in the stea
dy increase in-our mercantile busi
ness; New houses have been or
ganized and old have enlarged their
space and increased their facilities
to such an extent that the visiting
buyers can find ss great a variety
of choice in Macon as in any other
of the larger cities of Geogia. The
people theinselyes have grown to
appreciate this and there is far
less buying abroad than there used
to be. This is as it should be. It
is only for Macon to continue to
advance for the next few years at
the same rate ofgthe last two or
three years for her to reach a very
high condition of metroplitan de
velopment.—Macon News.
The Nashville American correct
ly recalls this fact: “Down South”
we don’t intend that the darkey
shall be admitted to social equality,
and we intend that the “white
man” shall rule politically, such
being one of the burdens imposed
upon the, white man. But we
don’t use shotguns to keep darkeys
from working, and we give them
work not only as field laborers,
but in every other branch of man
ual labor. They are here encoura
ged to work and are well paid for
their labor.
“The Crown Cotton mills, cf
Dalton,at the last annual meeting of
stockholders, declared a dividend
of 93 per ceirt, 83 per cent in stock
and 10 per cent in cash. This
beats the world’s record in cotton
mill dividends. The company will
at once build another SIOO,OOO cot
ton mill at Dalton. East year the
company declared a dividend of 43
per cent.
The movement started several
months ago by citizens of Calhoun
looking to the erection of a cotton
mill there,received a fresh impetus
recently when Hons. O. N. .Starr
and W. K. Rankin commenced to
canvass the town for the sale of
stock.
A newspaper ventures the in
formation “actual football is here.”
Football is about the most “actual”
thing one is ever permitted to gaze
upon.
Six O'Clock Dinner-
Mrs. Fannie Bet Jones Quillian
entertained very pleasantly on Fri
day evening at her mother’s lovely
home, “Fernwood” on Bartow
street, a few friends at an elegant
six o’clock dinner given in honor
of her charming friend and school
mate, Miss Carrie Williams and
mother, of LaGrange, Ga. Those
present were: Miss Carrie Wil
liams and mother, of LaGrange,
Ga.; Mrs. A. Gordon Cassels, of
Savannah; Miss Willie Jones, of
LaGrange; Miss Lucy Jones; Henrv
Yeach. Adairsville, Ga.; Mis

IN FEMININE FIELDS.'
Of course one sees a great deal
when shopping in Atlanta and
comes away more impressed than
ever with inevitableness of the coat
suit. It is a treasure to be sure,
dear to the feminine heart that is
practical and can appreciate its
necessity. The suits come in all
colors but gray is in the lead and
brown follows. I was struck with
the somberness of the linings,
black being a favorite and silk of
the same color as the suit seemed
to be most popular. The newest
reminds me of an old fashioned
basque. It fits the figure closely
buttoning up the front with a
dozen or two small buttons, is fin
ished at the neck with a regular
coat collar, often of velvet and a
few had quilted satin revers. Most
of the coats are very short finished
around the bottom in scallops or
odd looking tabs. The skirts con
tinue long and sweeping and fit
perfectly plain around the hips
with neither plait nor gather
and open on the side. One must
cultivate an especial walk for the
carriage of these skirts. The step
must be slow and short, the knees
bent back and the body forward.
Silk waists and plaid skirts we
saw galore, with dainty stocks in
black velvet or colored ribbons
made high with a tiny bow and
long ends in front. Handsome
belts garnished with cut steel were
other accessions that could but add
beauty to this style of dress.
A mixture of strong coffee and
ammonia is said to be excellent
for cleaning any kind of woollen
goods.
The Cherokee Club will hold the
first meeting under its new ofil
c..-rs on 'Tuesday morning, Oct., 3.

new zest and a large amount ol en
thusiasm. A regular business
meeting will be held and current
events discussed.
The Georgia Federation of Wo
men’s clubs will convene in Macon
in November, and the women of
Macon have already begun pre
parations for this meeting which
will be a most interesting event to
every club woman.

ASTRINGENT FOOD LAW.
the Use of Arsenic or
Alum in all Articles of Diet.
The law enacted by the Missouri
legislature, a copy of which was
recently published in our columns,
and which prohibits the manufact
ure or sale of any article intended
for food or to be used in the prep
aration of food, which contains
alum, arsenic, ammonia, etc., places
that state in the lead in the matter
of sanitary legislation.
Laws restricting the use of alum
in bread have been in force in En
gland, Germany and France for
many years. In this country, in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
O.vio, Kentucky and several other
states, direct legislation in refer
e.ite to the sale of alum baking
p ivvders has also been effected. In
several of these states their sale
i spr vhibited mi ■ s they are brand
ed to show that tney contain alum,
and in the District of Columbia,
under the laws of Congress, the
sale of bread containing alum has
been made illegal.
Following are the names of some
of the brands of baking . powder
sold in this vicinity which are
shown by recent analysis to con
tain alum. Housekeepers and gro
cers should cut the list out ana
keep it for reference:
miking: Povvners Containing Alum
GOOD LI OK 1 onlams Alum.
Maril' bv Southern Mfg. Cos., Richmond.
SUCCESS Contain Alum.

Manf. by Grant Chemical Cos., Chicago.
RAILROAD Contains Alum.
Manf. bv Morehouse Mfg. Cos., Savant
nah.
OLD DOMINION Contains Aiuni
M inf. by Old Dominion Mfg. Cos., Rich
mond.
The housekeeper should bear in
mind that alum makes cheap bak
ing powder. It costs but two cents
a pound while cream of tartar costs
thirty. The quality of the powder
is therefore usually indicated by
the price.
