Real estate values are still on
the advance.

have increased in the last few

Funnels about Covington ex¬
press little hope now of a ‘‘top
crop » > of cotton. After the rains
several weeks ago the prospect of a
top crop seemed favorable, but the
drought and blistering heat in the
past three weeks precludes any
possibility of a top yield now.
When the grown boles now mi the
stalk are pick'd over there will be

SUBSCRIBER.
Did you ever stop to consider the
fact that it takes money to run a
newspaper? If not, we desire to
cull your attention to the tact.
Several hundred subscribers on our
books are in arrears lor one, two
and even three years. We need
the money and must have it. Ev¬
ery citizen ought at least to take
enough pride in his county i aper
to pay his subscription.
Will not those of you who bring
your cotton t > market next week
call and pay up, even if it is but
$1.00? Everyone i9 asked to pay
so methiug on their subscription
account.
Newspaper Life.
The following is going the round
of the country press, and there’s a
bit of truth in it.
< i The newspaper is a wide field
and is full of roses and thorns.
When you roast the ungodly the
preacher smiles; if you roast the
saloon, the tetotaler smiles; it
you roast the tetotaler, tlie saloon
man sets ’em up. If you swear,
you are a wicked man, if you have
an opinion, you get cussed, and if
you dou’t you are a nouenity. The
preacher knows one thing; the
lawyer aud doctor another, hut the
journalist is expected to know’ ev¬
erything. He is the b.st-wurst
man in the community. An edi¬
tor’s duty is to speak of his town
as the Joviest place beneath the
blue arch of heaven. Speak of a
deceased citizen as a fallen oak,
when he died of the jimjanis. Call
a man an influential citizen when
you know he is the best poker
player in town. Speak of a street
arab as a bright-eyed youth on
the road to fame; a big footed,
newly-married woman, as the beau¬
tiful and accomplished bride; call
a man that has a few old, dusty
bolts of calico and a soldier’s blue
coat, a prosperous and experienced
dry goods merchant; call a lawyer
a Lading legal ligh, of whom the
profession should feel proud when
you know him to be a common.

Electric Power at Niagara Falls.
On Aug. 26, ten years ago, the
Niagara Falls Power Company sent
out its initial supply of electric
power to its first customer, the
Pittsburg reduction company,
which was the first factory' to be
1 located on the power company’s
I lands. The second block of power
was supplied to the Carborundum
; Company about a month later.
To-day the power company’s con
stimers are numbered by the bun
dred, nearly all the factories of
I Niagara Falls and many in Buffalo
at intervening points being
operated by this company’s power,
l'lie electric power developement
: has resulted in the locaeion of
many new electro chemical indus¬
tries in proximity to the Falls and
has doubled the population of the
city. The orsginal capacity of the
power plant was 50,000 electric
horse power, which has sine been
doubled. In addition to the Niag¬
ara Falls Power Company two oth¬
er power companies have come into
existance on the American side,
and three on the Canadian side of
the river, with plants having an
available capacity of nearly 1,000
000 horse power.
Sti| piy men are already having
good collectors, while many farm¬
ers are pacing obligations to the
bunks well in advance.
She Tried Five Doctors.
Mrs- Frances I,. Sales, of Missouri
Valley, la., writes “I have been nffl cL
ed with kidney trouble five years: hud
severe pains in my back and a frequent
desire to urinate. When ridina I expe
lie ceil much pain over the region of
the kidi eys. I tried five physicians
without benefit and then concluded to
try Foley’s Kidney Cure. After taking
three $1 U0 bottles I was compktely
cured.”

A. & C. R. R. Secures Franchise.
The county commissioner were
in session Saturday, during which
a franchise was granted the At¬
lanta & Curolina railway for the
term of fifty years, permitting
said road to occupy the public
thoroughfare through East Atlan¬
ta for a distance of 8,600 feet
along the Flatshoals road.
The terms of said franchise stip¬
ulate that the work of construc¬
tion shall be completed and in
operation as far as Lithouia with¬
in eighteen months; that a maxi¬
mum fare of five cents for passen¬
gers shall be charged from their
Atlanta terminal to their Ea9t At¬
lanta station and that its freight
rate rate shall be under the con¬
trol of the Georgia laws. Unless
work begins and the road complet¬
ed as far as Lithouia within eigh¬
teen months the franchise becomes
null and void.
This road is chartered under
the general law of the state and is
to run from Atlanta to Anderson,
vS. C., going along the western part
of DeKalb county, via Flake’s
mill to Lithouia, thence through
Rockdale, Gwinnett, Jackson,etc.,
on to Anderson. The promoters
feel sanguine to completing the
road, opening up one of the rich¬
est sections of the eutive state,
thickly settled, but without con¬
venient railroad facilities. It is
the intention to use electric power
Work, it is said will begin at the
Atlanta end of the line within the
next sixty days and the construc¬
tion speedily pushed, reaching Li
thonia within the next twelve

Chief Justice Simmons,
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 12 —Chief
Justice Thomas Jefferson Simmons
of the supreme court of Georgia,
is dead. The end came peacefully
this morning at 5 o’clock after a
long lingering illness which had
played upon his vitality until could
no longer withstand the ravages.
While the death of Chief Justice
Simmons had been rather expected
for some days, the physicians hav
ing pronounc°d his malady, or
rather compl cation of dii.as^s, in
curable, the announcement of it
did not Come without a distinct
shock to the community, and so it
will be with his many friends over
the state.
In the death of Chief Justice
Simmons Georgia loses one of her
best, ablest and foremost citizens,
one whose life work has been for
his state. The history of his life
in the civil war, in constitutional
conventions, in legislative halls,
at the bar and on the bench em¬
bodies in great measure the history
of bis state.
Following his aide service to the
Confederacy as a soldier i:t the
cause of stat« rights, he gave his
untiring energies as a legislator
towards rebuilding the state during
the tryiug days ot reconstruction,
and he served Guo-gia well both in
the constitutional convention of
186$ and that of 1877. Following
this service began his career of
nearly thirty years on the bench,
first in the superior court and af¬
terwards as supreme court justice
from where he stepped upward to
the chief justiceship upon the res¬
ignation of Chief Justice Bleckley.
But above all it is a great and
good citizen that Justice Simmons
deserves best to be known, and as
a model husband, father and
friend.
The illness of Chief Justice Sira
tnot a which finally culminated in
his death, dates back to January 1
1905. He was then suffering sev¬
erely with rheumatism of the back
despite all of which he remained
at h s post and continued to pre¬
side daily on the bench.
Hs remained with the court
steadily until the last day of May,
attending daily to his duties, pre¬
paring and dictating important
decisions.
On June 3 he went to Cumber¬
land Island and remained there
three weeks enjoying the surf
bathing and the outing. He re¬
turned to Atlanta, a3 he thought,
much improved, but began to grow
gradually worse. After remaining
here a couple of weeks he went to
Tate Springs, Tenn., returning to
Atlanta on July 28. Since that
time he has practically confined to
his home at 470 West Peachtree
street to the end. Jaundice de¬
veloped in addition to other livor,
kidney and stomach troubles, and
he sank gradually from day today.

Cured ot Chronic Diarrhoea After
Ten Years of Suffering.
I wish to say a few words in praise ot
Chamberlain’s C^lic, Cholera and Diar¬
rhoea Remedysays Mrs. Mattie Burge,
of Martinsville, Va *T suffered irom
chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during
that time tried various medicines without
obtaiwng any permanent relief. Last sum
mer one ot my children was taken with
cholera morbus and I procured a bottle of
this remedy. Only two doses were required
to give her entire relief. 1 then decided to
try the medicine mysell, and did not n sc
all of one bottle before I was well and I
have never since been troubled with that
complaint One cannot sav too much in
favor oi that wonderful medicine.” This
