The overwhelming and almost unanimous nomination of the Citizens ticket last Saturday by white primary so forcibly and em phatically impresses its lesson upon the entire citizenship of Barnesville that it is almost un necessary for the N KWS-G AZETTK to make any comment whatever upon it. There was but one issue in the campaign and while the unsuccessful candidates protested vigorously, denied positively and strove with all their might to change the issue and relieve them selves of it, the people did not like what they had seen and heard* and the result was that four of the best men and most highly esteemed citizens of Barnesville went down in defeat by the heaviest majorities ever before known in such a contest in this city. For two years the peace of the little city has been disturbed and prosperity retarded by strife and discord which has been wholly un called for and unnecessary. The people had become very tired and weary of it and they just wanted to show how unanimously they could condemn it. Not only did thf* citizens thus condemn strife and say tlmt they wanted to put n stop to it, but they also put their dis approval up o n tli e man agement of the dispensary. Mr. Z. T. Evans, one of Judge Reagan’s appointees, is certainly one of the most popular citizens personally in Barnesville. Jle has often been given positions of honor and trust by the people here before, lit 1 made an active canvass for the sup port of his fellow citizens, while Mr. Howard, his opponent, was not here a day during the cam paign and very little was done in his behalf. Yet Mr. Howard won by nearly 100 majority out of a little more than a total of 800 votes. If the result of Saturday's nom ination is not significant, if its; meaning is still unheeded, we are satisfied that the verdict of the j united citizenship of Barnesville, the brightest and best little city in Georgia, will be just a little more unanimous next time. And now, watch Barnesville grow! JELKS WINS IN ALABAMA. Gov. \V. lb Jelks won for gov ernor in Alabama Monday over ex-Governor Johnson by about 20,000, in a democratic primary. For a few years past Johnson has been one of these chronic kickers and as he deserved to be, he was badly beaten. Gov. Jelks is a splendid man and has made a good governor. He graduated from Mercer Univer sity at Macon and was a class mate of Col. Thad E. Murphev, formerly of Barnesville but now of Macon. STATE TAX RATE. The state tax rate has been fixed for this year at fb.Bo on the *I,OOO. which is a reduction of !4 cents per *I,OOO from the rate for last year. Candler and Gen. Wright think this rate will raise sufficient funds for the expenses of the state. FALL TERM OPENING. The fall term of Gordon Insti- I tute will open next Monday, the first day of September. President G. F. Oliphant ex presses the belief that there will he a full attendance during the term. There is no doubt that considerable progress in the con dition of the school has been made under the administration of Pres ident Oliphant and every body should give him their cordial sup port and co-operation. The News-Gazette urges that students enter at the beginning of tfift term, on the first day if possi ble. Do not wait until the second week or the second month. If necessary make a little sacrifice to matriculate in the very begin ning. Parents and children should remember that this course is best, and make tlieir plans ac cordingly. Every child of school age in this community should certainly be a regular student in Gordon Institu- te. It is an opportunity thatought not to he neglected. Few commu nities have such an institution for the education of its youth and it is very unwise to put the children at something else when they should he at school every day. Send the children to Gordon Institute. Rev. C. W. Durden Will Preach Sunday. Rev. C. W. Durden, who is just I up from a seigeof fever, will preach at, the Baptist church Sunday. | His-subject for the 11 o’clock ; services will he “This above all things else.” The public is cordially invited to attend the service. Moving Again. Mr. J. B. Bankston,the popular manager of the Bankston Hard ware store, will move this week, from the building now occupied by him to the one being vacated by the J. C. Collier Co’s gents fur nishing department on east side Main street. This is one of the nicest stores in town and will prove a very desirable place of business for the hardware store, where Mr. Bankston will be glad to have his customers call to see him.

Fellow-devil Heartsill, of the Dalton Argus, says the following resurrected “old saw” explains to him who so many editors get rich : A child is born in the neighbor hood ; the attending physician gets $lO, the editor gives the loud lung ed youngster and the “happy parents” a send off and gets SO. It is christened, and the minister gets $5 and the editor gets SOO. It grows up and marries; the editor publishes another long-winded flowery article and tells a dozen lies about the “beautiful and accomplished bride.” The minis ter gets $lO and a piece of cake and the editor gets S(KXJ. In course of time it dies; the doctor gets from $5 to SIOO, the minister per haps gets another $5, the under taker gets from $25 to SSO, the editor publishes a notice of the death, an obituary two columns long, lodge and society resolutions, a lot of poetry and a free card of thanks, and gets SOOOO. No won der so many country editors get rich. Such is newspaper life! But then, Brother Heartsill, you know the people have long since arrived at the conclusion that editors can live without eating.— Jackson Argus. Bridle Your Tongue. “The purest treasure mortal time afTorils Is spotless reputation. Take that away, And what is man but gilded loam Or painted clay!” How very careful then we shoitld he in dealing with the reputation of our fellow man! How dear to and how sacred it should be to us ! We may rob of the eon tents of his purse, but we can soon fill it agrin; purn his house, he can build another. But with the tongue of slander place a blot on his reputation, and we cannot remove it. How careful then we should be in regard to spreading a report that might sully the fair name of some helpless, gentle girl, or some young man who must carve out his own fortune in the.world, and who by some thoughtless act on im pulse, some unintentional indis cretion, has placed himself or her self at the mercy of calumny. We may blight a fair young life, crush all its hopes and send the victim through the world hearing the reproach of a curse and bowed with the weight of sorrow we have imposed without the power to lift it. Often, too, the one maligned and ruined has been guilty of no personal offense to the traducer. Let us then in view of the brev ity of life, its great responsibili ties, its limited pleasures and rap idly vanishing joys, strive to lift up rather than trample under the helpless victims in our path. Pope gives us a lesson we would do well to practice. '•Teach me to feel another’s woe, To hide the faults I see, That mercy I to others show. That mercy show to me.” —Elberton Tribune. AT THE TOP. It is a laudable ambition to reach the top of the ladder of success. But many a man who reaches the topmost rung finds his position a torment instead of a triumph.

"For about two years I suffered from a very obstinate case of dyspepsia,” writes R E.

Haberdashers. A Strait. According to Representative Kyle, this episode happened in Pickaway county, U.: * There is in the county a certain crossroads, where a patient teacher struggles daily with the develop ment of the young idea. One morn ing she was giving the school a les son in geography. “What is a cataract?” she asked. There was absolute silence in re sponse, and she explained the mean ing of the word. * “What is a cape?” This was better. One of the chil dren knew it was a point land jut ting out into the water. “What is a strait?” Over in the corner a hand went up. “I know, teacher,” said a small boy. ’“Well, what is it?” “It beats three of a kind,” was the triumphant answer. —Washing- ton Post. Elaboration of Suicide. Suicide by means of charcoal fumes is one of the commonest forms of self destruction in France, but the attempt of a soldier had elaboration in it of an unusual kind. The unhappy fellow came up from liis regiment at Compcigne and hired a room in a small Paris hotel. He lit his fire of charcoal, but before doing so swallowed a preparation of phosphorus. Then he tried to exe cute himself by fixing his tie to a Curtain rod and making a noose of the other end. If these means failed, there was vet a chance of im paling himself on his bayonet, which lie had fixed point upward below. Asa matter of fact, these means did fail, and the young man is now in hospital, though not physically worse for his experiments. Journalism In Formosa. Wherever the modern Japanese goes he starts a paper. Formosa has been generously blessed in this re spect. and its two dailies are well worth the subscription price to those who wish to keep in touch with the affairs in the small but lively world for which they cater. According to accepted notions, indeed, it is not only a privilege, but also a duty, to subscribe. Those residents who pre fer to see the affairs of their neigh bors rather than their own affairs discussed in print lose nothing by subscribing several times over. lie minders to that effect not infre quently enliven the news columns.
