public roads of that county. May
The Journal succeed in convincing
the people that there is no improve- j
ment more greatly needed in this;
entire section than the building of:
good roads-
A headline reads. ‘‘.Standard Oil
Company Epheld by Court, U. S.
t ourt of Appeals Declines Govern
ment's Petition.” And thus the
legal farce of prosecuting the Stan
dard Oil Company for violation of
the Sherman law passes on to the'
next chapter..
Till SAME OLD JIM.
It is wry amusing to the outside
: world to see the newspapers and
picuchers of Atlanta ln-gin to have
fits every time Woodward is elected
mayor.
Jim Woodward has I wen a polit
ical faetor of the (bite ( ity for
twenty years. lie is the same don’t
care, do-a- I-please social outcast
today that he has be- n throughout
the whole length of time.
'Die national election having been
numbered among Uie events of the
past, sensations were scarce. So the
Atlanta news gatherers have found
poor old Jim drunk at one of his
usual haunts and are now heralding
it to the world as a great sensation.
The preachers are reHoliiting and
petitions arc being circulated call
ing on different citizens to make
the race for mayor at the general
election. This protest comes from
the same sood people- of Atlanta
who grew highly indignant at May
or Joyner s truthful statement that
the capital city would go wit if
given a ehance.
Woodward's character was not
only well known to the citizens pf
Atlanta but was pretty generally
known throughout Georgia by his
notorious acts during previous ad
ministrations. Atlanta indorsed his
conduct- by re-nominating him to
the highest office, within her gift.
The evidence is in, the verdict is
made, and the people of Georgia
can only sympathize with the
preacher.- and newspapers in their
efforts to prove tie Gate City more
good than had. By wiping aside
all party lines the better element of
the inhabitants of Atlanta hope to
find a .Moses to lead them to victory
over this public disgrace.
A SIGNAL HONOR.
Gov. 11 >ke Smith lias named
1 our fellow-townsman, Mr. W. P>.

A RAY Of SUNSHINE.

\\ inder there were no more beauti
ful specimens of chrysanthemums
than those grown by Mrs. G W.
HeLaperriere.

deep appreciation of the kindness
extended to him by this good lady
in the presentation of a
Uniquet of these lovely flowers.
May she live long and oontinu
to it# the gifts with which Cod

IDS SICKENING.
Ihe efforts some of the southern
cities are making to induce Taft to
come south for the winter is sicken
ing.
To vote against a matt and then
toady to him in such a manner can
but had Tuft- to believe that the
people of the south are hypocrites.
It .Mr. Taft wants to come south,
he will lie treated decently, but for
the love of heaven let him alone.
Don t try to induce him to come
here.
There are too many people in this
state who slobber over those in pow
er. 'They have appropriately Ueu |
vailed ‘‘Taftoerats. '’ A republican
is far more decent- —Dublin Courier-;
Dispatch.
M *re men voted for Taft on
business reasons than for any other 1
cause. —.Marritta Journal,

and others still retain their jobs. I

WE EXTEND THANKS.
We notice from 4,h0 columns of
our exchanges that many of the
Georgia weeklies are calling on the ic
subscribers to renew subscriptions
before their names are dropped
from the lists in accordance with
the postal law, which forbids the
carrying of names one year in a rears.
So far The News has not found it
necessary to send out statements or
call the attention of our readers to
the matter through the columns of
the paper.
When we assumed charge of The
News we hewed strictly to the line
ot the postal law and dropped all
names one year behind on our sub-
seription list, irrespective of who
they were or where they bailed
from. Each week our list has
steadily grown until today we have
two humired more live subscribers
t han there were names on the books
when we assumed charge. We wish
to thank our readers for their put- 1
mnage and words of encouragement. ■
We congratulate them upon their
voluntary renewals, which enables
us to make the above statement.
We extend thanks for the follow
i ig renewals and new subscri Iters
during the week:

SPOT COTTON LET HR.
BY W. K. LYLE & CO
Th© feature of the market this
week was the gi liners’ report, issued
last Monday showing S, EH), 782
bales having b.-en ginned up to
November 1, compared with G. 128,-
bt>2 last year. This report is the
largest on record, ‘ut .immediately
upon its issue the Wall street spec
ulators supported the market vigor
ously an 1 not only prevented any
decline, but caused an advance of
lb points. This interest- is credited
with holding one and a half million
bales, and the fight is growing lat
ter between the spot people and
this speculative interest.
We regard the market as very
dangerous on either side, as sooner.

Chicago, 111. —L. L. Scherer is
expected to arrive at the Auditorium

him a letter addressed as follows:

of conjecture. *
