The Boors have taken on new life Mtul are doing some heavy fighting. The British are permitting this strug¬ gle to lengthen out wonderfully. Atlantans are much exercised over the street railway problem. Mr. At¬ kinson can probably give them some important light on the subject. Ennna Goldman, the queen of an¬ archists has been given her freedom while her poor deluded deeiple, Casol gosx. than whom she is none the guilty, will be electrocuted. For what can the anarchist hope? The proceedings of the Schley court of inquiry have been read with great interest by many people the about *700.00 per day, and the aver¬ age citizen finds himself wondering where the profit comes in. Admiral Schley fully expects vindication. The bulk of testimony against him is already in and lie has so far held his ywatwninst his einsuiie* Governor Bob Taylor, justly famed lecturer, gone an’ got him a law. Sentence of death was pro¬ nounced upon Czolgosz, the assassin of the president, yes¬ terday. He is to die in the electric chair on October 28, Atlanta is now in the hands of Harry Atkinson, and if he manipulates her as he has the street railway situation, he will make a great city of our State Capital. • ►- • - The Georgia Inter-State Fair which opens Oct. 9, in At anta. promises to surpass anything of the kind yet held in that city. Secretary Martin is working faithfully to that end . -• • The Governor of Georgia and the Governor of South Carolina are wrangling over the posession of a straggling lunatic. These great men in high places should care for the helpless wherever they find them. President Roosevelt objects to a body-guard. He is right. They area useless annoyance. President McKinley had three about him and was shot twice. If they were any pro¬ tection it would be another things President Roosevelt said to Congressman Livingston: “I care nothing for Mason and Dixon’s line or any other sec tional line, I will be Presi dent of t } ie United States and not of any part thereof.’’ | That ki iid of talk inspires the Southern people with deuce and causes them to look with favor upon the new Chief executive of the Nation. Being a true American self, this declaration of the President should touch a re¬ sponsive chord in the hearts of all other true Americans. - You needn’t expect to beat ta. Atlanta man was on the that convicted Oolgosz, McKinley’s assassin. W. E. is the man that now lies nearest lanta’s heart. When Atlanta fails have a representative on hand, all occasions, you may bet there be something 1 seriously amiss. Hon, Jerry M, Wilson, Washington city, leading council of Admiral Schley, died suddenly last Tuesday morning, His death was a profound shock to the people of Washington, who had lojk ed upon him the day before as he sat with other counsel Admiral Schley in apparent health. He was a distin¬ guished lawyer and an admi¬ rable gentleman. LARGE PAPER. khis Edition of the Weekly Banner contains 12 pages, is made up of home news and home advertisements, This speaks well for ihe town, es¬ pecially when it is understood that no special effort on our part was required to secure this large business, a dead town would not make this showing, even under the spur. Our bu¬ siness men are all wide-a-wake and utterly detest a duli time. They have bought large stocks and expect to do an immense business. They know the val¬ ue of advertising, hence, this paper of 12 pages. Money is not easily made by average men— think, investi¬ gate before you part with that you have. Consult our adver¬ tisers. HAY CROP. The farmers of Rockdale have saved tons and tons of as fine pea vine hay as was ever housed in any county in the South, a soon as the fields were ready, the mowing machines were put to work and the result has been more than profitable. The far age crop has been immense and most of it has already been saved. If we mistake not, the far¬ mers of this county wiji have Fire Insnranee. PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY AGAINST THE FLAMES. We represent some of the best and most reliable Fire In¬ surance companies and would be pleased to have you consult us before placing your risks. We will make it to your interest to do so. W. V. Almand & Co. FOR SALE. A good milch cow and two yerl ings foreale. John F. Almand. forage to do and to spare, and they are to be congratulated upon the fact. The farmer who mifet come to market in mid summer and buy western hay to make bis crop with, can’t expect to meet prosperity in the fall. He has no kind of chance with his neighbor who has an enomious bain filled with for¬ age of his own making. We a?e glad our farmers are making their farms self-sustaining iu every sense. Japanese Children. A Japanese child 3 years old can rwim like a fish, and often children who will not learn of their own ac¬ cord are repeatedly thrown over¬ board until they become expert swimmers. In the harbor children eeem to be perpetually tumbling overboard, but the mothers deliber¬ ately pick them out of tho water and, cuffing them a little, go on with their work. It is really aston¬ ishing at what age these boys and girls will learn to scull a boat. A Doat 20 feet long most adroitly managed by three children, all under 7 years of age, is no uncom¬ mon sight. The Striking Part. Jerrold all his life long bitterly translating protested against the fashion of cluded the and adapting, which ex¬ work of native writers and gave a reputation to men for work which 4hey had not originated. Talking once with Mr. Blanche, a noted adapter of plays, on this ques¬ tion, Blanche insisted that some of his characters were original. “Don’t you remember/’ he" said, “mv baroness in ‘Ask No Questions?’” “Yes, indeed, I don’t think I ever saw a piece of yours without being struck by your barrenness,” was the reply.
