Harrison says, ‘“Lord, deliver me from my friends.” If Atlanta keeps tip her present rack et in the divorce business, Chicago will have to look to her laurels. Bartow county cannot move too rap idly in the matter of anew court house. It is the crying need of the times. It is claimed that Mrs. Cleveland has boycotted the bustle. But we expect to see the report sat down on as a cam paign lie. The rotation rule sometimes works damage to the State. Bartow county will this time have one of the ablest men in the Senate. Thanks to our brethren of tjie press, for the many compliments and good wishes they are showering upon the new editors of the Courant-American. We believe in pretty lively politics, but we can’t endorse the woman suffrage movement. It would bring too much bustle and confusion into our campaigns. From present appearances the next Legislature will have an unusually large number of new members. It is uncom mon for a State Senator to serve more than one term. The coon skin and cider movement seems to fag. It is evident that it will take something more solid than this to carry Benjamin to the place once occu pied by his grandpa. The stock law and public schools go hand in hand with the progress of the age, and their adoption bv the whole of North Georgia is only a quest ion of time —and short time, too. Our last grand jury was a strong one. Sound, solid, practical, good citizens, with the interests of the whole county at heart. They represent fairly the Itt ernent of our citizenship. Boulanger and Floquet, the French men, have both lowered themselves in the estimation of the world by their late duel. Dueling and bull fighting belong to a darker age than this. The Chautauqua management should secure one lecture this season from Edi tor Folsom, of the Cedartown Standard, on the subject of “goatology as con nected with Southern development.” The trustees of the, State University have deferred further action in the mat ter of a chancellor until they meet in Atlanta October sth. It is to be hoped they will then find a suitable man who will take the place. Ca rtersvill!s might double her popu lation and her property values in one year by a live, liberal, systematic and persistent course of advertising. Natur ally she is the most highly favored towns in the South, and we only need to let the world know it. -* - - 4 The position occupied by many people 5n the tariff question may be demon strated by the answer gi ven bv a Milledge ville German, to the question, “What is the belief of your Lutheran church?” He said. “Veil, I vas avay from mine church so long a dimes I forgot it most all, but dev peliefs a darn sight more as dese Mefodis ” Young man, don't go West. The idea that you can do any better there than iiere is a delusion and a snare. The West is full of dead beats, and men waiting for something to turn, up, already. If you ever succeed anywhere, it will be by hard work, and the door to success is as wide open to you right here in good old Geor gia, as anywhere else on God’s green earth. Remember, there is more in the man than there is in the land. Joe Brown’s letter in regal'd to the “betterments” was a business-like, sensi ble document. He says his company would not think of trying to influence the election of legislators on that ques tion, and that it would be wrong for any man to go up to the capital pledged to ■vote this way or that way on a question that has not really been formulated yet. This is a plain business matter, and we |do not think there will be any trouble Ibout a fair and satisfactory adjustment outlie matter between the State and the lea*company. All we want is to send goo(mhonest, sensible men to the latureiLp the State's interests will be safe. \ Onward! “Onward” should be the watchword of the people of Cartersville. The time has come when no man with the welfare of the town truly*at heart can afford to lag. The towns which get the lead in this country now are likely to keep it, fend push those which move slow to the rear. With every natural ad vantage—resour ces that no other point can equal—a nucleus already formed and a founda tion laid for a great city—what is to keep Cartersville back? Nothing but the perpetual ignoring of our possibilities and a failure to show that enterprise iiecesearv to reap the fruits of the advan tages that are ours’, w ithout cavil. Let us invife capital, and yet let us do ourselves. We know not what we can accomplish until we do our best. Many places that can now boast of a solid growth attained have wrung splendid results from a seeming barrenness of possibilities through healthful local en terprise and the investment of combined local capital. The establishment of a single small in dustry with a few hundred capital in it that proves a success, induces others to follow in like undertakings. There are numerous kinds of small manufactures that have been tried and found profitable enterprises. Let us have the larger en terprises if we can, but the smaller ones, at any rate. We want to work to the end that otir raw material —much of which goes to actual waste, and some of which brings but indifferent returns —can be utilized and worked at home. Our agricultural advantages are un questionably greater than those of rival points, and can alone be turned to the attainment of great results. We have around us a treasury of mirfo erals in variety and richness unapproach^'. able. ? u Our timbers are yet unexhausted ftnqj are as fine as are to be found in tltf l In South. to Our splendid water powers challeng\ equality in their worth and availability? Our farm in their great sup ply and extra good quality, invite the establishment of canning factories, cot ton gins, compresses, cotton factories, cotton seed oil mills, haj industries and factories for the making of plows and other farm implements. Our mineral resources furnish the ave nues for profitable realizations from iron and manganese working plants, marble and slate quarries, graphite and ochre mills. Our superior timbers are such as to reasonably induce the starting of plan ing establishments for the manufacture of sash, doors and blinds, furniture, chairs, wagon spokes, axe handles, bar rels, etc. Our clays would furnish material for terra-cotta works and potteries. Without depending alone merely upon what the soil produces under the bus bandman’s toil for our commercial ad vancement, let us look to the utilization of the other advantages with which na ture has so generously endowed us. What we need now in the race for pres tige is enterprise, push and unity of ac tion, and not even the smallest of expe dients should be despised or the most insignificant of our resources go unhus banded, if we would drive on with a sure gait to the goal of greatness. Whenever we cease to send West for hay, corn and meat, for our farmers: when cotton is manufactured into con sumable shape here, and our Northern made plows are no longer worn out on the very iron ores that make them, and our timbers go to the production of the chairs we sit on or the beds we sleep on, we will have experienced at least the be ginning of the dawn of a period when we can expect that our people can realize for once that they are prosperous and happy. Polities. Georgia politics will be of a compara tively quiet nature this year. In the race for President, of course, she will look on the race in the clo.se States as an interested spectator, until the elec tion, when she will quietly poll a compar atively solid vote for Cleveland and Thurman. This being true, we can afford to be magnanimous. The national campaign, so far as Georgia is concerned, will be a good-natured one. This is well. Let us recognize the fact, that, so far as the South is concerned, the war is ended, and the era of good feeling has been ushered in. The party which came into existence as one of the results of the war can never gain another victory on the dead issues which it has managed to resurrect from time to time. The leaders of the Republican party appreciate the situation, and among the more sensible of them the negro question and bloody shirtism have been abandoned, and they propose to meet us on the living issue of the tariff. With this as the issue—'■the Democracy in favor of just revision and reduction to meet only the requirements of a peaceful government, there can be no doubt of the result. While Foraker and his like may froth and howl in such a manner as to disgust the conservative, thinking people of their own section, we can afford to ignore their attacks, and let them fall of their own weight to the ground. In the national race there is no cause for undue excitement. The Democracy is already in eight ot a sweeping victory —and if this were not true, there would still be no danger of the country going to the eternal.bow-wo ws. So keep cool. As to local politics, the outlook is fa vorable to a lively, though all around, for county offices. The Sena torial question is settled —the Demo cratic nomination being equal to an elec tion. Some little life may be thrown into the race for representatives—several fast horses being hungry to get on the track. _^ Sample Copies. Within the next few months thousands of sample copies of this paper will be sent to persons who are not subscribers. We want them to see the paper, read, ex amine and subscribe for it. Our northern readers will find a great deal of matter of special interest on south ern development—the resources of our grand Empire State, and her desirability as a place of residence for those who are fleeing from the rigors of the northern climate. The good people of Macon are moving in the matter of political reform, and we wish them God-speed. An association has been formed, the object of which is mainly to take the control of public af fairs out of the bar-room element. A registration law and other safeguards for the purity of the ballot box are wanted. At a late meeting the associa tion resolved not to support Mr. Chas. L. Bartlett for the Democratic nomina tion for the Senate, for the reason that he was unwilling to declare himself in favor of the reform movement. Jim>ge John W. H. Underwood, one of Georgia’s oldest and best known lawyers for a long time Judge of the Rome judicial circuit, dropped dead yesterday at 11 o’clock in R. G. Clark's store.
