The Newnan News Issued Every Friday. J. T. FAIN, Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATE. $1.00 PER YEAR. OFFICIAL PAPER OF COWETA COUNTY, 'Phono No. 20. OFFICE UP STAIRS IN THE WILCOXON BLOB Watch Newnan grow ! The "muck rakers” arc working over time in Georgia. llokc Smith and the people "shore” have got the boys on the run. Speaking of sick politicians, how docs the Clark contingent in Coweta show up for an indisposed bunch? "When a fellow engages in the newspaper business he ought to cut the law and office holding out,” says the Brunswick News. Nevertheless, a few professional politicians in Georgia are persist ent in their efforts to mix journal ism and office holding. The Walton Tribune seeks to extract comfort from the fact that a majority of the newspapers of Georgia are opposing Hoke Smith. As a large majority of the voters arc supporting Smith, doubtless his opponents would bo willing to swap newspaper support for votes. The Georgia Industrial Associa tion, an organization composed of practically all the cotton manufac turers of Georgia, will hold its sixth annual convention at Warm Springs, beginning June 7th. One of the features of the meeting will be an address by Dr. Young J. Alien, who will discuss conditions in China and the South’s trade re lations with that country. Clark Howell to the Herald and Advertiser: "'BUI Hailey’ please crawl out of the underbrush and come home." The News’ circulation is still climbing. Coweta county people evidently see and appreciate the News’ strong points. It is rumored that the Herald and Advertiser will shortly hitch its little red wagon to the coat tails of another also-run a while. Wanted- An explanation of the sudden silence of the A. & W. 1*. and Central railroads in reference to building that elegant union pas senger station in Newnan. To the Atlanta St West Point and Central railroads: Newnan is waiting patiently for that union passenger station at the railroad junction. Why don't you get busy and build it? Coweta county is all right. It is already one of the best of Georgia counties, and is steadily improving, livery section of Coweta is pros perous, and Progress is the watch word everywhere. Since the Herald and Adver tiser took to the tall timber in the gubernatorial contest, it is reliably reported that Clark Howell has been singing in plaintive tones, "Where Is My Wandering 1 toy To night?" Those loud mouthed editors and politicians who regard Ham Mc Whorter’s Executive Committee as the Democratic party of Geor gia, evidently believe the party in this State is extremely small potatoes. The attitude of the Macon Tele graph in the present campaign is certainly not one of the campaign’s least amusing features. Lately,the Telegraph has become so flurried and flustrated it has been forced to seek a vent for its outraged feelings in editorial columns of a width that show up the staid and stately Telegraph in hues as yel low as those that distinguish the enterprising Atlanta newspapers. The retirement ot the "home candidate” from the gubernatorial race affords the Herald and Ad vertiser an excellent opportunity to return to the support of its first love Candidate Clark Howell. The chief difficulty in the path of the prodigal seems to be a defi ciency in nerve. Evidently the II. and A. lacks the courage to sup port a candidate as unpopular in Coweta county as Clark Howell is. It is freely predicted about town that the next object of the Herald and Advertiser's fond and fragile affection will be Plain Dicky Rus tle; but there be some knowing ones who assert that the II. and A. is about to center the wealth of its warmed-over love upon Col. Kstill; while others say that a vis ion of lovliness in the lithesome form of Uncle deems Smith has captivated the palpitating, maiden ly heart of the Herald and Adver tiser. near the mark of perfection as is possible in a small system; and when the new system is placed in working order there will be no reasonable grounds cf complaint against the service afforded any patron in Newnan. As the News understands the matter, a system and service of this kind is what the Southern Bell has promised Newnan. One thing is certain—if the Southern Bell lives up to its promise, the people of Newnan will not fail to respond to its efforts to give them satisfactory telephone service; and the result will be a vast increase of the local business of the telephone company, As the case stands at present, the Southern Bell has a monopoly in the telephone busi ness of Newnan, and it can main tain its position by maintaining first class service for its patrons. Telephone service is a matter of mutual interest and importance to the Southern Bell and the people ot Newnan. If the Southern Bell stands by Newnan and gives this city a square deal, the people of Newnan will evidence their appre ciation by patronage that will jus tify all expenditures for an improv ed system and better service. Booking to the future, the South ern Bell can afford to spend some money in Newnan, even if the present status of its local business did not justify the expenditure; but the News is reliably informed that receipts of the Southern Bell’s ! Newnan office are larger than the J receipts of any other office in the South in a city of this size. This tact justifies the telephone company in pursuing a very liberal policy in dealing with its Newnan patrons and ought to be made the basis of special evidences ot the company’s appreciation of its Newnan con nection and business. 2 With the Exchanges t After spending several days j very pleasantly with relatives and friends in the city, Misses Emily and Mabel Mitchell returned Tues day to their home in Newnan.— Last week's Carrollton Eree Press. The Howell forces are certainly trying hard to raise a dust by paw ing the earth and loud bellowing, but beneath it all can be seen the fine Italian hands of the ‘-men who control”—and Mr. Howell’s very active press agent! There is no movement of the people toward Howell apparent, and he is making no new converts worth mention ing, so far as we can see.—La Grange Reporter. It the primary had been held along with the state primary, Mr. Lee’s majority would have been something enormous. Judge Fite intimates in a card published in the Journal that Hoke Smith will be defeated by the same "gang.” In this he is mistaken* The re form element nominated Mr. Lee. In one of our districts where Mr. Lee got 26 and Fite 3, a poll was taken for governor, which resulted as follows: Hoke Smith 27, Dick Russell 3. Clark Howell 1.—Dal las New Era. Ex-Confederate Soldier Dead. Mr. David J. Dunlap, aged 89 years, died Saturday night at 10 o’clock at the Soldiers’ Home af ter a long illness. Mr. Dunlap was born in Moreland, Ga„ and served with a company of Georgia troops during the civil war. He ; took part in the battle of Peach-' tree Creek, and several other en- j gagements in this vicinity. His only surviving relative is a step son who lives at Moreland.—Sun day Journal. Covington Enterprise furnishes the Interesting information that Syd Tapp is sick and says that is the reason Syd has not yet brought his scalping knife to bear on Hoke Smith. Perhaps Clark Howell is sick, too. Andrew Carnegie has given ♦ 15,000 to the Georgia Normal and Industrial College at Milledgeville for a new library building. The gift is conditioned on the raising of a like amount by the institution for the library s maintenance. Hon..Dupont Guerry has been re-elected President of Wesleyan Female College, Macon, for the period of three years. He has just finished his third year at the head of this splendid institution of learn ing and the character of his work has been of the highest order. The Trustees of Wesleyan were unan imous in the desire to have Mr. One of the surprising things de veloped by the San Francisco catastrophe is the capacity for prompt, efficient and patriotic ser vice developed by San Francisco’s Socialist Mayor, Eugene V. Schmitz. All the radical and revolutionary elements in his city were on his side in his election for mayor. Socialists, anarchists, law- bieakers of all sorts, and all of so ciety’s extreme left voted for him. Many conservative and respectable men also were on his side, but most ot the men who gave his candidacy its peculiar distinctive ness were neither respectable nor conservative. But Mayor Schmitz has surprised both his supporters and his opponents. In the crisis which struck his city he has done immeasurably better than many of his friends wanted him to do, and better than most 01 his enemies supposed he would do. He arose to tne demands of the emergency promptly and intelligently. THE SOUTHERN BELL COMPANY AND NEWNAN. The Southern Bell Telephone Co. has promised to do great things lor Newnan in the near fu ture, and the News is satisfied that the telephone company means to I fulfill its promise in good faith.

Dr, Foster has been practicing medicine some time in Sharpsburg, Ga.—Carroll ton Times. Every county in South Caro- j lina grows cotton in commercial quantities, only one county run ning below the 5,000 bale line. This is the only State ot which this can be said. Eight counties in Georgia grow no cotton. Twelve other counties grow a total of only ! 8,249 bales. So. that one-seventh of the state only grows a little over 8,000 bales.—Cotton Journal. The anti-Hoke Smith editors hold up their hands in holy horror that Tom Watson should be quot ed by Democrats, and then turn right around and quote Harry Ed wards with great gusto. Mr. Ed wards was at one time an editorial writer of the Macon Telegraph, changed his politics and is now the leading republican in Georgia. His past and present environments would naturally cause him to favor corporate interests as against the l people.—LaGrange Reporter.
