The majority of the voters ol
Carroll County were true to the
principles of democracy last
Wednesday.
That Carrollton is the best
cotton market in Northswest
Georgia is shown by the number
ol bales brought here every day.
A dastardly crime was com
mitted Saturday at Los Angeles,
Cal., when the plant of the Los
Angeles Times was blown up,
and twenty persons killed.
Detectives are working on the
case but as yet the perpetrators
have not been apprehended.
Tom Watson has come, has
had his say to a large crowd,
and has gone, nobody can say
he is not a first class kicker •
He announced a short while
back that he had returned to the
Democratic party, but already
he has kicked out of harness.
It is very hard to determine
just now “where he is at.’ 1
Judging from the present out
look, the A & M Fair, this
month, will be the most success
ful and most largely attended of
any fair ever held in Western
Georgia. The grounds are in
good shape, the premiums are
liberal, and the attractions are
all first class.
Are there not matters which
our Board of Trade could take
hold of just now. Many towns
and counties in Georgia, are
boosting themselves and adven
tising their advantages at this
time. We should not lag be.
hind, especially since we have
so many superior advantages to
set before the world. And then
how about our new railroad,
the hosiery mill, bonds for bet
ter highways, pushing to com'
pletion local citv delivery of
mails, and other matters.

eakness In Clothes
The Free Press supported
Jos. M. Brown and the nominees
of the Democratic party two
years ago and hearty’ supports
the nominees this year, Tom
Watson claims that no nomina-
tion was made at the State Dem.
ocratic Convention in Atlanta.
We supposed the convention
was to ratify 7 the will of the
soveriegu people expiessed at
the primary election, and so it
did. We are not in favor of
going back to nominations by
conventions. We propose to
stand by the voice of “Old man
Peepul’’ as made known at the
ballot box, where alone each
man’s will can be surely regis
tered.
The official premium list of
the Fourth District A. & M.
School Fair has at last made its
belated appearance. While we
have no intention of criticising
the management, and have the
be&t interest of the fair at heart,
still v.e would like to know why
the premium list was not turned
out sooner, say a month or six
weeks ago, when it would hive
been oi more bcnefL to the ;d
vertisers and the fair? Tne
peop’e of this towm and county
are most loyal to every laudable
enterprise, as is sh >wn by tin-
number of advertisements in the
p’namplft, and its late appear-
„nce is hardly fair to these ad
vertisers, and ronsr qu- ntly is a
drawback to advertising.

On Loxd DufTerin’s estate, neai
Belfast, there once stood a 'historic
ruin, a castle which had been a
stronghold of the O’Neils. One day
Lord Dufferin visited it with his
steward, Dan Mulligan, and drew a
line with his stick round it, telling
Mulligan that he was to build a pro
tecting wall on that line. And
then he went to India, feeling
secure as to the preservation of
the great historic building. When
he returned to Ireland he hastened
to visit the castle. It was gone. He
rubbed his eyes and looked again.
Yes, gone it certainly was, leaving
not a trace behind. lie sent for
