Howdy, Mr. Candidate' L«*t call for the Corn Club boys. LaFayette should have a Clean Up day. The Corn Club ia a real honor roll of ambitious boys. The cattle-tick proposition now aeems up to I)ade. LaFayette has enjoyed its annual visit from the county teacher*. Dalton’* judicial timber doe* uot get much of au opportunity to grow off well in the Cherokee. Dalton lawyer* want to set out iu the sun-, shine of another circuit. • • I 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: » ■ 1 ' t ' V , 1 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 M. C. Tarver, Whitfield’s repre sentative, announces that he wants the dug tax act repealed.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. MARIINDALE ~ Last Week'* Letter. Tbis section was visited] last Tburday aud Thursday night by the hardest rain that we have had in many years.

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. —''os oc-rd.
