A Dividend Earner
The report of the receiver of the
Trion Manufacturing Company for
the first three months that the mill
had been in operation under bis
direction showed the remarkable net'
earning* of $43,000 for the mill and
$4,000 for the store.
This i* at the rate of net
for a year and illustrate* the won
derful earning capacity of the Tfioft
point as well a* the favorable oAndi>*
ten* under which the cotton mill*
of the country are now operating. f 11
With such potential earning power
it seem* regrettable that bocm ar
rangement cannot be made whereby
this great property cannot be eaved
to the stockholder* of the plant: »

The people of the copoty expect
every road overseer to c|o hi*
fluty-
The county commissioners are
issuing a fair warning to the road
overseers.
The city council is on the right
track—giving a discount to the citi
zen who pays bis tax promptly.
The members o' the county board
say it is easy to get the people to
talk good roads but it is bard to get
them to do good road work.
Dalton people are agitating the
new circuit of Walker, Dade, Ca
toosa and Whitfield. We wonder
if they really think the Cherokee
circuit is too large or if they are not
merely desirous of getting away from
J ndge Fite.
M. C. Tarver, Whitfield’s repre
sentative, announces that he wants
the dug tax act repealed. The
legislators at their coming session
will proceed to kick the bound dog
around. There is this much about:
if the legislators do not repeal that
aw soon, all the dogs in Georgia
will soon be dead, as far as the tax
lists are concerned.
NEGRO DELEGATES
ARE FOR ROOSEVELT
The first steps toward building up
a white lepublican party in the
Seventh congressional district were
taken last Thursday afternoon in
Rome when the congressional con
vention departed from the old rule
of one white and one black delegate,
and elected J. I’. Dyer, of Adairs
ville, and L. H. Crawford, of Dal
top, both whites, as delegates to the
national convention. Robert Jones,
of Roseville, and A. N. Tumlin, of
Cave Springs, were named as alter
nates, and th 6 two votes will be cast
for Taft. lacensed at this denial of
recognition, negro delegates, fifteen
in number, bolted the convention
aud held a convention of their own
in the other end of the hall, amid a
pandemonium of confusion. This
oolvention named A. T. Atwater,
of Floyd, and S. E. Thompson, of
Cobb, both negroes, as delegates to
Chicago, and instructed for Roose
velt. They will send a contesting
delegation to the national convention.
White leaders of the party declare
they are through with the negro,
and will build up a white party in
north Georgia.

Friday Dickens' Lucky Cay.
Charles Dickens was not one of
those who are superstitious concern
ing Friday. It was on Friday that
many of the good things came to him,
and it was on that day that ho enter
ed upon, paid tko price and took pos
session of Gads Mill, the one thing
he cherished more than all of his oth
er possessions. It was Gads Hill thut
he had gazed upon when a wee bit of
a boy, with a hope then giving little
signs of fruition, that ho might live
to own it some day; and It was Gads
Hill whose walls he, covered with mir
rors in almost Oriental magninceuce.
