THE NOMINEES AND THE PLAT
FORM
Bryan and Stevenson form about
as good a ticket as the democrats
could have nominated under all the
circumstances. Bryan is regarded
as clean, sincere in his positions
and a statesman of the true Ameri
can type. Stevenson has been tried
in public life aud has never been
recreant and unfaithful but ably
performed his duties and is among
the most loyal and unflagging of
democrats. His is a solid strength
and he is free from antipathy of
any factions whatever.
While silver is still an issue it
was overshadowed in the platform
by other at the present more press
ing and vital issues, such as repub
lican recklessness aud extrava
gance, the tendency toward im
perialism and the baneful trusts
now powerlul and growing, that
seem to have succor and encour
agement from the republican party.
*1 he republicans will doubtless
adopt the tactics of doing what
they can to put the democracy on
the defensive on the money issue,
knowing of the differences that
have already sprung up in the
party over the discussion of this
issue, with the hope of further
‘ i ?S ra ' r ating those differences and
also distracting attention from
the other issues they know the
people are standing ready to record
their condemnation on. But dem
ocrats should stand firm, be true
to their party, advocate and sup
port its men and its platform,
burying all their differences in the
common cause of liberty, better
government, economy and reform.
The issues have been discussed and
those entrusted to frame a platform
have done their best under all cir
cumstances to put forth a declara
tion of principles on which all
may stand. It is now the duty of
democrats, all, to rally to it ar.d
loyally to support its nominees.
At a meeting of the state rail
road commission held in Atlanta
last Saturday, Hon. Pope Brown,
who was appointed to the position
made vacant by the death of Hon.
L. N. Trammell, was sworn in as a
member of the commission, and
Hon. T. C. Crenshaw, of Carters
ville, was elected to the position cf
chairman. Cos!. Crenshaw’s fitness

44 A Gentle Wind

'I JtbccCS Sauapwutk
for the position of head of the com
mission is well known. With fidelity,
energy and ability he has performed
his duty as commissioner and the
experience he has gained is aug
mented by fine judgment and rare
common sense. He is a fit and
worthy successor of Col. Trammell,
and his many friends rejoice to see
his capacities so signally recog
nized.
CARTERSVILLE’S POPULATION
Cartersville, as the census will
show, has held her own in popula
tion since 1890, and what is more
gratifying, there is a slight increase.
Although the mining interests of
the locality have furnished a con
stant field for activity and opera
tives needed in tnis avenue of in
dustry have come and gone, there
has been little in the city proper
to mduce new or hold her already
acquired population, outside of the
regular aid legitimates avenues of
business, and Cartersville has been
at a severe strain in this way the
p Ist ten years. Some had feared
t.ie population might recede from
the tortner figures some. That it
has not done so is cause for con
gratulation, and augurs well for
tue luture if our people but act up
to their possibilities. The city has
her fine agricultural backing as au
immovable quantity. She has the
mineral surroundings, water pow
ers and other requisites for growth
of industries, which means growth
of population. Thecensusof 1910
may give her a showing which
many ambitious towns might en
vy. Let us all strive for such a
result.
The yellow papers have their
destructive and constructive forces
at work they like did in the Cuban
war. It is surprising how fast
they can kill their thousands in
China and bring them to life
again. Pekin is eight)', miles
from Tien Tsin. The interven
ing country, a populous region,
is filled with hostiles and in a con
dition of anarchy. Under such
circumstances communication with
Pekin has been entirely cut off for
days at a time. Yet the yellow
papers have kept up a continuous
flood of alleged news from Pekin.
T.lev have repe. t dly ph t ired
the horrors of m ssacre to pie: se
people who enjoy that kind of
reading whether it is true or not.
In such journals no news is the
best news, lor it gives them a
chance in the back office to invent
stuff by the column and vary it to
suit the appetite for sensation. If
’hose who attach value to the yel
low style of journalism will take
the trouble to compare the ascer
tained truth with the imaginative
rot poured out at all hours of the
day they will discover the extent
to which they are imposed upon.
It is probable the powers, acting
coolly in the premises, will succeed
in having order restored in China at
least without serious friction among
themselves, and at least for the
present,
Cloud-Powell-
On Monday, the 2d instant, at
the home of Capt. and Mrs. B. H.
Veal, at Austell, Ga., occurred the
marriage of Miss Willie Gertrude
Powell to Mr. Burton Cloud. Only
the near relatives and a few inti
mate friends were present, but the
occasion was one of unusual pleas
ure aud the scene a pretty one, the
rooms being decorated with a pro
fusion of ferns, flow rs etc. The
attendants were Mr. Rufus Powell,
of Cartersville, a brother of the
bride, with Miss Hattie Veal; Mr.
Frank Veal with Miss Louise
Ragsdale, of Decatur, Ga. The
presents were elegant and approp
riate. The bride, the daughter of
Mrs. Bettie Powell, is well known
in Cartersville, (her former home)
where she has many friends who
love her for her many charms of
character and person. The groom
is a young lawyer of sterling worth,
a son of Mr. and Mts. J. E. Cloud,
of Buford, Ga. They will make
their home at Homer, Ga., where
the groom will practice his pro
fession.

First National Bank-
The regular semi-annual state
ment of the First National Bank
was printed in a neat folder by the
Courant American last week, and
was sent out to the stockholders
together with the cashier’s checks
for the semi-annual dividend of
three per cent.
The statement makes a splendid
showing for the bank, the deposits
being $98,300, loans and discounts
$118,057, and besides paying a
dividend of three per cent, for the
six months of this year, $2,300 was
carried to the surplus fund, and
SSOO set aside for a tax fund, to
meet the taxes which are due in
the fall.
The management of the bank is
well pleased with the results of
the work for the past six months,
and the large deposit shows the
confidence of the people in this in
stitution.
Reunion Postponed-
The joint reunion of survivors of
the Ist and 6th Georgia Cavalry to
have been held in Rome on the
25th of this month, has been post
poned until the 15th of August.
The local survivors of these regi
ments, who have been planning
and will direct the details of the
reunion have thought this post
ponement advisable on account of
the great push the farmers will be
in for awhile to get their crops out
of the grass, many of the old regi
ments being of the farmer class.
The Floyd boys still say they are
going to give their visitors a joy
ous time.

man, is keeping up his past record
in this line of work. The fact be
ing well established that the work
would be up to date and complete

petitors, speaks well of his work

An Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi
nent physicians that impure blood ia the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
1 wenty-five years ago this theory was used
as a oasis for the formula of Browns’lron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
ov tms famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct*!
