SOAP FOR NEGROES.
Much ado is being made over
the negro, and every now and then,
in au effort to be a philanthro
hist, some white man or woman
goes wild over the question
and says and does some very fool
ish things. Prof. Sledd, a mem
ber of the faculty of Emory col
lege, has just had to resign from
the college, because hi* lost his
head in writing an article for the
Atlantic Monthly, in which he I
made slanderous statements about
the way in which the white people
of the south treated the negro.
One good thing about it is there
are some level heads among
the leading negros, who arc really
doing something to make the ne
gro better. Occasionally one of
these negro lenders gets off some
thing bright and sensible. Rev.
W. W. Lucas, a negro said to
live in Macon, recently used the
following in a speech, which has
been frequent ly quoted and com
mended :
“I have decided that the only
way to get rid of the ‘Jim Crow’
car is to get, rid of the ‘Jim Crow’
negro. If I could us©2oo,oooburs
of soap on the unwashed negroes
that travel on t rains and hang a
round depots I would solve the
negro problem about 20 percent.
Lazy, ragged, barefooted fellows,
longing for silver slippers and
long white robes and counting
themselves worthy; neglecting to
provide a home for their families
on earth, and yet claiming a
house not made with their hands
in God’s heaven! The white man
is trying to make this earth blos
som as a rose and the negro is
getting ready to die. The white
man is organizing business enter
prises and the negroes organizing
societies to turn out at then
funerals. Now I object to a SIOO
funeral for a flfty-cent negro. !
The negro eats up and dresses
away all he makes. One square
meal on Sunday sweeps away all
the wages of the week. He re-!
minds me of the mule which ate I
the shipping tag from his leg. An
old negro exclaimed: “Gee, dat. j
mule dun *et up his whar-he’s
gwine!” That's what the negro
does; he eats up his living.’’
Now, let a lot of these would
be negro philanthropists invest in 1
a ease of soap and go out on a
washing expedition and they will j
accomplish something practical.
ATLANTA'S ELEPHANT DEAD
Clio, the big elephant which Inis
been the pride of Grant’s park in
Atlanta for twelve years, is dead,
having departed this life last
Thursday, after a week’s illness.
This was a tine animal and was
especially the joy of the children
of Atlanta and the state.
Another elephant will be pur
chased for the park at once, about

serihbd for thv purpose by the
people of the enterprising oapitol
city.
For OoinmlKuloner.
I hereby annouce myself a candidate
for Dispensary Commissioner, subject
to the qualified voters in primary for
Aldermen. Having been appointed by
Judge Reagan for the short term of
one year and from the solicitation of
my friends, would like to serve the
good people of Bartlesville for another
term ( \\ ill promise my best endeav
ours in every respect.
Very respectfully,
Z T. Evans.
I'riniary Election.
There will be a primary election on
Saturday, August - ) 3d, inst., to nomi
nate three Aldermen to serve two years
and one Dispensary Commiasioner to
serve three years.

Executive Committee.
ELECT CITIZEN’S TICKET.
The News-Gazette feels called
upon to urge the nomination and
election of the citizens ticket
nominated at a citizens meeting
Monday evening for Aldermen
and Dispensary commissioner.
We believe that the election of
this ticket will promote the peace
and prosperity of the city, and
very probably save a vast amount
of strife among the people of the
community. It will be in harmony
with the present administration
which is certainly doing every
thing possible for the best interest
of Barnesville.
Mr. Otis Murphey is especially
qualified for continuing at the
head of the electric light and
water board. Under bis adminis
tration, for the first time in its
history, this department of the
city’s affairs lias been self sustain
ing, and in fact, has made a little
more than expenses, and no citi
zen can really take his place,
without some impairment of the
service and loss to the city. In
other respects also, he is thorough
ly competent for the position.
Judge W. A. Prout is not only
one of the best men in the world,
but he is a conservative and sound
business man, whose record as an
Alderman and familiarity with
municipal matters qualify him in
every possible way for making a
a most valuable official.
Mr. J. C. Collier has demon
strated the fact that he knows how
to manage business and finances.
He is energetic and economical
and will make a fine man for
alderman, being particularly fit
ted for aiding in putting the city’s
finances on a fine and successful
basis.
Mr. \V. M. Howard, who has
been nominated for Dispensary
commissioner, is certainly as well
suited for this office as any man
in Bartlesville. He can render
the city splendid service just at
this time in this position. While
he will travel for the present, he
says that he will have plenty of
time and opportunity for looking
after the duties of the office.
Elect the citizens ticket.
GUARD AGAINST SICKNESS.
It, is strange that people are so
negligent about their health and
the tilings that relate thereto. In
a great many cases of sickness the
people sick might as well he well.
Proper care and timely physic
would often save suffering and
heavy doctor's hills.
At this season of the year fevers
are quite prevalent, and it be
hooves every family to look well
after the premises, the yard, gar
den and barns. Clean up thorough
ly and apply lime and other dis
enfeetants freely. A little precau
tion will be exceedingly profitable
from a physical and financial
standpoint.
This applies to the pepple of the
country districts, towns and cities
but especially to towns and cities.
The citizens of Barnesville should
see to it that their own premises
are in proper sanitary condition.
Let every one “sweep before his
own door." Go to some trouble
and expense if necessary aud do
not delay to have these matters
attended to.
Life and health should receive
attention first*
Serviiv-s Silll Continue.
The protracted services at the
Methodist church are still in pro
gress. The meeting has been one
of deep interest, good congrega
tions attending. Rev. Mr. Shaw
is preaching strong, earnest and
heart-searching sermons, produc
ing a profound impression upon
his hearers.
The meeting will close Sunday
night.

FIRST BALE.
Marketed here Tuesday and Brought
loi-lflc per Pound.
The first bale of this years crop
of cotton was brought here Tues
day by Mr. J. M. Cauthen who
lives about a mile and a half from
the city on the farm of Mr. T. W.
Cochran.
Mr. J. W. Hanson, who repre
sents Sanders Swann & Cos., was
the highest bidder and payed 10
1-1(5 cent per pound for the staple.

Carswell Sells To Evans.
Mr. E. R. Carswell, Bartles
ville's faithful Deputy Marshall,
has sold his home and lot on For
syth street to Mr. Z. T. Evans.
The deal was closed a # few days
ago and possession will be given
in the near future. It is a value
able piece of property and con
tains about ten acres of good
land.
Mr. Carswell has not decided
where he will go when he gives up
the place. He thinks now he
will buy a lot and build. He is
now looking around with this in j
view.
A NECESSARY PRECAUTION.
Don’t neglect a cold. It is worse than
unpleasant. It is dangerous. By using
One Minute Cough Cure you can cure
it at once. Allays inflamation, clears
the head, soothes and strengthens the
mucous membrane. Cures coughs,
croup, throat and lung troubles. Abso
lutely safe. Acts immediately. Child

Paving Contracts Let
Contracts have been made for
paving the side walks, in accor
dance with the recent ordinance
of the city council, by nearly all
property owners, and the work of
putting down the pavement will
begin in a few days. This pork
will be a vast improvement for
Barnesville, and will not only
beautify the city, but it will also
result in financial benefit as it
will turn loose considerable money
for labor, as such improvements
always do. The ordinance call
ing for the paving of the side
walks was introduced by Mr. D.L.
Anderson and among many other
things, he can always look upoh
this as a splendid feature of the
administration of which he has
been an important part.
Bind Springs Camp—meeting.

Springs, near Zebulon, begins Fri

come. Pray for the meeting.

"1 was weak, nervous anti dizzy, with a
fainting sensation when walking." writes

Cos., Tenn. "Could not walk any distance;
always felt bad after eating, felt as though
something was sticking in my throat, al
ways uneasiness in stomach.’ Doctored
with three physicians but they did not
relieve me. 1 grew worse amt used
everything I could think of; was nearly
readv to give up and then someone told
me that Dr. Pierce’s medicine was good,
so 1 began taking his 'Golden Medical
Discovery.’ I have taken seven bottles of
that now' and am as stout as ever, and en
joying heatth as much as ever before. I
worked alt summer and this winter as
much as any one. My case was liver dis
