NEWTON BUILDING AT THE
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
There is a mov m *nt on font for
TVewtoi. county to pot up a build¬
ing at Monroe to be known as the
Newton county Building.
Each county in the district will
erect a building to Be named after
the county. Atlanta proposes to
Lmild a $15,000 dormitory f<*r girls,
to be known ;.s the Atlanta
(building.
ft is estimated that a building
Tb ;t will worthily represent Nevv-
1,o 1 'Will cost $3000. Now, it
semis’hit Newton should have
very little troub'e in raising this
3 to a 11 amount
All indications' now show that
Newton will -h j w-41 r"preseuted at
llie agric iltural school. In fact,
there have been about thirty appli¬
cations Be tif-in fr on th A com ty al¬
ready. Surely we ea 1 show our in¬
terest from a n oney standpoint
enough to raise $8000 bra Newton
<county bmldi ig.
One genelOa- Citizen vho does
not live in Newton, but tmtinrly
livi-d here, lias contributed $50 for
.ti Newton building. Tlier-. are a
number of other contributors here
-who have subscribed $10, $15 and
$25. If anyone feels enough in¬
terest in this proposition* kindly
send in your name, and the am nut
you will give, to me Editor of the
Enterprise. We do not feel that
it is necessary to make a personal
canvass in order to raise $11000 in
iNewton for so laudable an under¬
taking. In fact, we dislike the
idea of going to a man and asking
liim to subscribe. We shall ap¬
preciate it, however, if you will
«end in your name and with it a
subscription for the New toil coun¬
ty building.
Don’t forget, please.

WHAT WILL THE
CITY COUNCIL DO?
The secretary of the Woman’s
Club, Mrs. Ei W. Carroll, is in
receipt of a communication from
Mr. Andrew Carnegie, in which
that gentleman intimates very
clearly that if the Council men in
their representative capacity, will
give him assurance that the city
will make an annual donation to
maintain a public library, that he
will pay fo r the erection of a hand
some huilding and stock it with
books
While we do not belong to that
class tYiat is constantly beseeching
somebody to give them some
thing, yet on a proposition such as
Carnegie makes, one could hardly
object to the City of Covington
making an effort to receive all that
he would give, If the city was
abb*, ,,r in position financially to
erect a substantial library, we’d
prefer to lei the city do it; tor it
is a well known fact that nothing
ought to be done for an indivual
or community which they could
do for themselves. The next best
thing to doing a tiling yourself is
to l.-nd your etl'orts and co-operate
with the other fellow who proposes
to assist.
“Heaven helps those who help
tlmmselvos,’’ and if Covington ever
“Xpecis In 1 p she must show lmr
willingness to d > her part; and
that pari in the 1 ibra,iy construc¬
tion would be inconsiderable in
c caparison with the incalculable
benefits to Be derived from the
erection and maintenance of a
first class library.
The Value of a Good Paper.
The value of a good news piper
t > the community in w hich it is
published is but vaguely apprecia¬
ted by many citizens who fancy
themselves important factors in
the life of the community. They
do not half appreciate the work
the newspaper is doing for the
city day alter day, and every day
in the week, month and year as
the years roll on, individuals come
and go and business firms, enter¬
prises and organizations appear
and disappear. *
The merchant in h’s store is
known to his customers and lei
low townsmen. The newspaper is
known to all. speaks to tv u ry
body, is daily read n> the city and
out ot it, and lias more lasting and
t ir-reaching influence, local and
general, within its territory, than
any other institution of a local
character cau possibly have.
The most prominent citizen,
is known, comparatively, only to
a few. H.s influence is limited.
l f any man is generally known
or has anything to say, he can
only be generally known or heard
by the public through the news-’
paper. It is only the newspaper
that has the far reaching voice
that is daily and continually heard
by thousands; the rich and pour,
the small and the great, the weak
and the powerful, the buyer and
seller, the builder, the investor,
the capitalist,; at home or abroad.
How often has it happened that
when a few citizens, a mere hand¬
ful, assemble in some sortot meet
fug or organization to discuss their
own interest and the welfare of
the city somebodv suggests that
the press be requested to take an
interest in the matter, in face of
! the fact that the has
manifested an interest, hn9 proba
bly been the suggesier and mover

The Times-Reeorder need no
urging in the matter of public
spirit and public service. It has
done and will do much, but it can
not accomplish everything unaid
ed.
A paper like the Times-Recorder
contributes more time and money,
in the form of prepared matter
aud space, which is as much the
equivalent of cash as a banker’s
check, than all the members or
banker’s firms in any line of busi¬
ness in Americu9, to the welfare
aud upbuilding of the city—and
of Georgia. It preaches, exhorts,

THE ENTERPRISE, COVINGTON GA
Washington Letter. i
Every southern state will be in*
terest in the decision rendered
this week by the Department ot
Justice anent the North Carolina
immigrate.!, case. It will be re
membered t hat recently the tdute
appopriated a considerable amount
of money to which was added
more by private subscriptions, and
the state Commissioner of I,nun
gration was sent abroad, bringing
bick a whole shipload of immi
grants who were landed at Charles
ton instead of at some northern
port f.nd were promptly welcomed
and employed as soon as land¬
ed. There was some question ut
the time whether the state had
not violated the alien contract la¬
bor law in bringing the immi¬
grants to this country, for the
passage of most of them was pre¬
paid. The case was refered to the
Department of Justice at the time
and it decided that under the law
an individual state could do what
a private employer could not do,
in the way of assisting foreign
immigrants to its borders.
Rut, under the new law, a deci¬
sion has been rendered that cuts
off pert of the states privilege.
The Department decided this
week that a state might spend
money in advertising abroad and
might do what it wanted in drum¬
ming up immigrant traffic, but it
c<>u!d not pay the passage of aliens
to this country as had been d<me
in th** North Carolina case. This
will operate as something of a
drawback in getting other ship¬
loads of foreigners direct to the
S tuth, but it is not likely to stem
the tide of immigration if it cun
be once induced to set that way.

Hearings were continued this
week on what has been known as
the “car stake case” before the
interstate Commerce Commission.
The railroads all over the country
hrve been transporting much of
the billions of feet of lumber ca r
fied annually of flat cars, and to
do this it has been neccessary to
place stakes along the sides of the
car to keep the lumber in
The railroads have forced the
shippers to thus equip the CxT in
accordance with the rules <*f the
Master Car Btiilders” Association.
It seems like a ’ittle matter, the
cost ot equipnng a air being $4.
But in the aggregate iit costs the
lumber-men of the cou.ntry about
$6,000,000 a year. They claim
that there should be properly
equipped ears with permanent
stakes furnished by the railroad
c.isapanies and> a nmnobers of iron
stakes, folding stakes,, and the
like have been patented. The
lumbermen claim that some of
these-will serve the purpose, but
1 be railroads insist that the piob
lehi has not yet been solved,, and
that, it remains for some inven¬
tive genius to perfect a stake that
will answer the call when a fiat
car is loaded with lumber and
wifi be out oS the way when the
cats is wanted for something else.
The commission has taken the
case under advisement, and it has
not yet been decided who shall
foot the Bill for equipping the
ears.

Ambassador lijyce call'd on
Secretary Root this week and went
over with him the geueral situa¬
tion between Great Britain and
this country where there are still
a number of lough edges to be
smoothed by diplomacy, Some
of the most pressing thing how¬
ever are the matters between this
country and Canada, the Great
Lake Fisheries, reciprocal tariff,
and the New Foundlaud Shore
question. These will be allowed
to go over till the approaching
visit of the new ambassador to
Earl Grey in Canada, when the
wishes of the Canadian Govern¬
ment cau be expressed and *.he
welfare, which means the interest
of all its citizens.

One of the last things that Con
gross failed to do was to include
in the Sundry Civil Appropaia
tion any money for continuing
the work of black and investiga¬
tion that the Geological survey
has had on hand for some years.
This has proved a most impoitant
work in the west, and arrange¬
ment had been made to bringMhe
bulk of the apparatus east and
establish part of it at the James¬
town Exposition, and the’ re9t at
Chapel Hill, N. C. where the same
work was to be done for the east¬
ern states that had been done for
the west, 'l he students of the
state university at Chapel Hill
were to have done much of the
actual work under the direction of
the scientists of the Survey, and
it is believed yet that an immense
amount of good will be done the
country all along the Appalachian
range by furnishing a method
whereby the gold deposits oi low
grade that, undoubtly exists all
through the foot hilLs can be work
ed at a profit besides extracting
many other rare and useful miner
als a minimum of expense. As
tlie case stands, however, the
work will h ive to oe don^ by the
state of North Carolina, and resi¬
dents of the other states 111 the
south who want samples ot miner¬
al deposits examined will have
to send them to the state univer¬
sity and pay the states for doing
the work.

seriously injured by coming in
contact with a live electric wire.
Suit. for damages was brought by
the boy’s father and the electric
company contended that the boy
was sot of his proper place in the
tree, and the company was not to
blame. The lower court decided
to this effect, but tihe supiemo
court of the state reversed the
judgement yf the lower court on
the grounds that a boy lias a right
