A few years ago Barnesville had a lower tax rale than we have today, hut we had no electric light plant, no water system, and only a small school building. Many other im- provements have been made in public utilities and in the side walks and streets. Barnesville today is vastly dif ferent from the Barnesville of even 10 years ago, and the citizens who have led in these improvements and those who have aided in Hu good work have built monuments for themselves which will not soon be forgotten. And yet the tax rate of Barnes ville compares favorably with ite rate of other cities of tie- state. The following table will be of interest: IK> 1901 Atlanta $12.50 sl2 50 Savannah USO HSO Augusta 12.50 12.50 Macon 12.50 12.50 Colurnbui 12.00 11.00 i Athena 10.00 10.00 i Home- .

The iiwfull disater which occurr ed at the National Baptist Conven tion of negroes in Birmingham. Ala., last Friday (‘veiling should be a valuable lesson to white peo- ; pie as well as negroes everywhere. The cry of “quiet” which was understood to be a erv of “fire” j resulted in a .stampede and more than one hundred negroes were crushed to death and many more ! more or less seriously injured. The vast congregation became' wild and a shocking calamity was | the result. Such an alarm is likely to be given to almost any assembly of people and then above all other times, people should control themselves and not become excit ed. When such emergencies arise it would be rare that injuries resulted, if people would remain cool and deliberately plan for escape. The Birminghrm affair was one of most deplorable of the kind ever known, and yet it was abso lutely without any cause. It teaches n most valuable lesson. A few more negro conventions similar to the one held in Birming ham last week and t he race problem in the South would Im> solved. The ministers of Atlanta have threatened to form ,a boycott among the churches against the Sunday papers. This would be a worthy cause but it will not be successful however. The Savannah Press remarks that the taxpayers of the country would like to know if those sham battles up on the New England coasts will a4d to the pension list. ■Mr. Man... If we could sell just as good suit out of stock line tailors, or finer, and save you 5 dollars or more, Would You Buy It The Swell Chaps are Buying... Hawes’ $3 Hats You can buy a hat for $5.00 and be no better satisfied than with a HAWES’ at $3.00. Same price as yesterday —always the same. HAVE YOU SEEN THE Collier Shirts? ONE DOLLAR.^ You bought a summer shirt of us—how did it wear? These are the same kind*—only winter styles. Stiff, plaited, soft bosoms. J. C. Collier Cos. ELECTION NEXT WEDNESDAY Tne state election occurs next Wednesday, October 1. It, will be a very quiet election, as there is no contest, except for one office, but it. is hoped that a good vote will bo polled throughout the state. The only contest is for the un expired time of Hoil. If. T. Lewis, associate justice of the Supreme court. For this office, there are four candidates, namely, Judge .1. S. Candler, Judge R. B. Rus sell, Judge John P. Boss and Col. Julian Williamson. Several of these cadidates* ai*e quite active and may develop considerable strength in different sections of the state. It seems probable that Judge Candler will be elected, but there is strong opposition to him in many quar ters. Pike county should poll a good vote next Wednesday. Remem ber the day and go to the polls and vote the official democratic ticket. The elections come oil in a short while and the candidates tor the supreme court bench are putting in a lot of hard work. Spalding's political muddle con tinues to grow thicker as the time of elect ion approaches. Barnesville continues to main tain her place as the best cotton market in this section. We bespeak for our advertisers the confidence and trade of our readers. Read their “ads'’ care fully and you will find it to your interest. Governor Candler is receiving a deal of censure for the manner in which he distributes his plums. The censure comes from those who are not receiving the fruit. THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZL-i.i'E, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25,1902. The fall poet will soon have a chance to put in some good work. Wonder if an arctic explorer would know when he had reached the north pole? It is about the time of the year for the Atlanta papers to begin their series of depot cartoons.
