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 little left m the cotton fields hi this :ection. 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. ordinary jackleg-htnd leg at that.” 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.” New lot ladies 9kirts at Cook’s. 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 j months.—DeKalb New Era.

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. New Royal Worcester corsets and girdles at Cook’s. The Original.

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 remedy is for sale by all druggist in Cov¬ ington and Bibb M’i’g.
