■ARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE - y 7--- Hi Twentieth Century Country Weekly. ? Published Every Thursday by The News Publishing Company, BARNESVIIiIjE, GA. SUBSCRIPTION *1 PEIi YEAR PAY ABLE IN ADVANCE. Entered at the Post Office at, BBrnonville, Ga., as second elans mail matter. AUGUST 14, 1002. 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 ♦ IbQO having* already boon sul>- 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. \V. C. STAseoKii, W. M. Howard, \V. P, HoI.MKS, H. P. Powell, 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. THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1902. 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.

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.
