FALLACY
—OF—
to Clearness.
We occupy the position that the term
“cheap," as implied by pretending to
offer any article of goods for less than
its real value is, to deal mildly, mis
leading upon its face, and should bo
shunned by sensible, thinking people.
“No shoddy” is our motto.for all the
term implies.
To those expecting something for
nothing we cannot supply your wants;
on the other hand, if you desire full
value for your money you are the class
of custom we are hustling for.

BILL ARP’S LETTER
Wonders of the Solar System is
Bartow Man's Theme.
WE OF EARTH ARE ’‘SMALL POTATOrS”
00(1 Days Explained—Solar Plexus
Punch at President Roosevelt.
Commends Captain Howell
in His Race for Mayor of
Atlanta.
Dog days. So many of the young
People write to me about dog days that
I will answer briefly M, a t there are no
dog days. It is nothing but a super
stition that has come down to us from
the ancients. The Dog star or Sirius
!l as its time to appear in the heavens
and rise and set like other stars, but It
is a very irregular time and so what
we call dog days may begin the first
cf July or many day,; later. The rising
of Sirius in a Uno with the sun begins
aow on the 3d of July and will con
tinue until the 11th of August. Those
forty days were believed by the an
cients to bring very hot and sultry
weather and many malignant diseases,
but this has been disproved by modern
astronomy, for the appearance of Si
rius is very uncertain and in the
course of time it will rise in the win
ter. Now a little more about this
wonderful star. You know that we
have eight planets that belong to our
solar system. They a 1 revolve around
the sun just as the earth does and the
nearer the planet is to the sun ttw> fast
er it travels. Neptune is 16,000,000 of
miles distant and it takes 1155 years
to get around.
But Sirius is away outside of our
solar system and is 120,000,000,000 of
miles from us and gives 400 times
more light than our sun. It is the larg
est and* brightest star in the heavens.
It is called the Dog star because it ap
pears to be in the tail of the constella
tion that the ancients named Major
Canis or the Big Dog. They were a
smart people and we sMll keep their
map of the heavens and their names
of the stars, but they had no tele
scopes and did not know that thers
were any stars or suns except those wi
see with the naked eve
But now young people listen. It is
now established and proven that there
are millions of stars and solar systems
afar off in space and that ours is the
smallest and the most insignificant of
them all. We are nothing and less
than nothing in the scale of existence.
It has always been a mystery to me
why the Creator of the boundless uni
verse, that has no limit, should have
chosen this little world of ours for His
greatest work, the Creation of man in
His own image, a little lower than the
angels, man who sinned and fell and
was redeemed by the sacrifice cf the
Son of God. I don’t understand it. I
cannot comprehend it. This little world
is no bigger than a cannon ba l com
pared with some of the planets and
stars afar out in space. It has but
one little moon that does not conde
scend to show us but one side of Its
anatomy. The other night we went
to Mr. Granger’s beautiful home
to look at the full moon through his
great telescope that cost $5,000 —and
is mounted in a high observatory with
a dome that revolves as the earth re
volves. It was a magnificent specta
cle, but the view of Jupiter with four
moons and Saturn with his rainbow
ring and seven moons was much more
beautiful and impressive. Of course
these planets muet be inhabited
the Creator wo ’
a dead 7■.?n.-rn i "such luminous ana
beaunful satellites. We don’t know
anything hardly, and it fills me with
disgust to see young men strutting
around like peacocks—acting like they
made themselves and knew every
thing and expected to live always—
when the truth is they don’t know
where they came from nor where they
are going and can’t add an hour or a
day to their existence. I have but Bt
tle hope for a vain or conceited man,
and a vain woman is no better. A
conceited man is close kin to an idiot
and a woman vain of her beauty
ehon'd sometimes remember that she
had no hand in creating it for it was
God given or inherited. “Oh! why
should the spirit of mortal be proud?”
Of ail the faults of which humanity is
guilty, that of self-conceit is the last
to be forgiven and the hardest to re
form.
I was ruminating on this yesterday
when I read what Roosevelt said in
his spetch at West Point. The editor
who publishes it speaks of him as our
wall meaning but impulsive president.
He should have said our "conceited
and erratic president.” In speaking of
the great men whom West Point had
graduated, he said. “I claim to be a
historian and I speak what I know to
be true that West Point has turned out
more great men and more statesmen
than any other institution in the Uni
ted States.” It was se f conceit and
ignorance that provoked such a mon
strous absurdity, for Colonel Sprague,
of Yale college, has recently challeng
ed him to the proof and has shown be
yond all cavil that Yale can number
ten times the great men that West
Point can number. Among them 1,383
ministers of the gospel, 7S justices of
supreme courts, 17 chief justices, 546
doctors, 39 governors of states and 38
United States senators; besides these,
Yale has tent forth a a army of educa
tors, established 480 colleges, 160 for
women and 8,000 high schools, while
West Point has sent out none but sol
diers, ,
Teddy ought to be ashamed of him
self, but he will not be. He is not yet
ashamed that in his so-called history
he called Mr. Davis an arch traitor
and repudiator and told what he did
when governor of Mississippi, etc. His
attention has been called to these ma
lignant ea’umnies against a great
etatesmen and whose currlcu’um at
West Point that he ordained when sec
retary of war is still in force and who
never was a member of the legislature
nor governor of Mississippi. No, he
is too conceited to take back anything
or to apologize for his mistakes. The
man he slandered was dead when he
published those lies, but his widow
lives and there are thousands of vet
erans all over the south who cherish
his memory and who now hold his
slander in supreme contempt. Yet ha
c aims to be a historian! When a gen
tleman finds that he has unwittingly
wronged aaother he hastens to apolo
gize, but a conceited idot rolls the mor
sel under his tongue and chews It as a
cow chews and swallows her cud. He
feeds on his conceit.
P. S. —All hail to Evan Howell —the
soldier, the editor, the friend in need.
I have known him intimately since his
chi dhood. His good father was mar
ried in my town and I think I am the
only living man who was at the wed
ding, though I wss the* but a child.
All hail to my friend. He has the right
to run for mayor and Atlanta will hon
or herself by electing him.—Bill Arp,

GYPSIES AS KIDNAPERS.
3ang Is In Jail Charged With Stealing
a Llttl. Girl.
Several members of a band of Gyp
sies are Imprisoned in the county Jail
at Marion, Ind., charged with child
stealing. The three-year-old daughter
of Henry Herman, a glass manufac
turer, was stolen from the home of her
grand parents, where her parents had
left her while they were enjoying an
outing. Gypsies driving past the house
kidnapped the chi and and drove south
with her. In South Marion they
stopped at a saloon, where the little
;irl was recognized by Mr. Wilson, a
r ried of her parents. Mr. Wilson res
cued the child from her captors and
‘ook her to his own home. Later the
Jypeies were pursued and arrested.

REPUBLICAN TEXTS
For This Year’s Campaign Set
Forth in Pamphlet Form.
MANY PAGES ON THE TRUSTS
Document Seta Forth that Both the
McKinley and Roosevelt Adminls
trationc Made Good Records
in Fighting Combines.
The republican text book for the
camprlgn of 1902 has been issued by
the republican congressional commit
tee. The book, which is in pamphlet
form and contains 380 pages, makes
liberal quotations from the speeches of
both McKinley and Roosevelt and also
extracts from their messages to con
gress in support of republican doc
trine. The book reviews the record
of the republican party from its begin
ning to the present time.
Under the heading “Protection and
Prosperity,” eighty-one pages are de
voted to advocacy of protection,.
Twenty pages ara devoted to the
trust, and in opening the discussion
the book thus describes th e attitude
of the two parties:
The attitude of the two great par
ties on the trust question is clearly de
fined. That of the democratic party
looks to constant agitation, with no re
strictive legislation; that of the re
publican party to such restriction as
as will prevent arbitrary advance in
price or reduction Jp wages through
exclusive control, but not the destruc
tion by legislation or Injury by iJcti
tious agitation of legitimate enter
prises, though manufacturing
systems by which production is cheap
ened, prices of manufactures reduced
and permanency of employment as
sured.”
Ninety-five pages of the publication
are devoted to the Philippine and the
republican Insular po'icy, which in
cludes the early stages of the acquisi
tion, the conduct of the army, declara
tions from prominent people that the
Filipinos are not ready for independ
ence, and a large portion of Admiral
Dewey’s testimony before the senate
committee in which he gave his opin
ion of Agulnaldo. President Roose
velt’s Decoration day address, so far
as It refers to the conduct of soldiers
in the Philippines, is quoted entire.
There is also some discussion of
trade with the insular possessions.
More than twenty pages are given
to the discussion of the go and standard
and an outline of the republican party
on financial questions.
A chapter is given to diplomacy in
the Orient, and a declaration is made
that “McKtfley’s policy saved China
from disnynberment.”
Refen,ire is made to the repeal of
the war taxes.
Credit is given the republican party
for the isthmian canal.
Considerable space is given to Cuba,
and it is asserted “that the ground
work of a republican form of govern
ment was laid by the United States
under a republican policy.
Liberal quotations are made from
President McKinley’s speech at Buf
falo. Reference is made to
efforts to revive the AmericangPrcr
chant marine. _
The is refer
red to as “a distfi'fj SM- business cqn
gress,” and 1 acts of that

•v'The republican party is claimed to
be the friend of' the o'd soldier, and
the pension laws it. ha--
enumerated. The that
rural free delivery is due to republican
legislation and administration.
In the closing pages of the book is a
chapter entitled “Democratic Harmo
ny.” Reference is made to the Tilden
Club dinner, there being a quotation
from ex-President Cleveland’s speepluf
and the comments of W. J. Bryan an <Jf
Henry Watterson upon it and ther
forts toward democratic harmony.
The book is intended for the use of
workers and is designed as an exposi
tion of republican policies generally.
BIDS NOT SATISFACTORY.
Uncle Sam Will Print His Own Stamps
For Next Four Years.
The government will print its own
postage stamps as the result of the
bids opened at the postoffice depart
ment Friday for the contract of sup
plying the adhesive postage stamps
for the United States for the next four
years. It has been stated that the
price asked by the bureau of engrav
ing and printing was exorbitant and
that the work would have to go to a
private concern. The bureau’s bid,
however, proved the lowest. The only
other bidder was the American Bank
Note and Engraving Company
CHOLERA’S FEARFUL RAVAGES.

WAR ON 15 III'It'S OF FA.NaMA.
; Rebels and Government Forces En
gaged in Sanguinary Conflict and
Hundreds Killed and Wounded.
The peace commissioners' who left
Panama, Columbia, July 29th on the
British steaimr Cano to visit ;ho revo
lutionary General Ilerrera near Agua
Dulce, returned to Panama at noon
ast Friday. They informed the rep
resentative of the Associated Press
■ hat they were unable to fu fill their
mission because a very severe < ugage
ment betwwn Herrera's fern sand the
government troops had been in prog
ress since Tuesday, July 29, when the
i evolutionary forces began to attack
Agua Duice.
At 5 o’clock Thursday morning the
best battalions of the revolutionary
forces attacked the government en
trenchments with fierce courage. The
slaughter of the revolutionists is said
to have been excessive and barbarous.
That same afternoon the white ilag
was raised in their camp and they
asked for armistice during which they
could bury their dead. This was
granted. The losses of the rebels up
to Wednesday, July 30, were reported
at over 209, while the government
forces had eight men killed and eleven
wounded.
General Moreno, one of the peace
commissioners, says the entrench
ments at Agua Dulce arc masterpieces
of military art.
At the expiration of the time of arm
istice the engagement recommenced
with the same fierceness. Nine gov
ernment battalions which had not ta
ken part in the fight wore'still being
held in reserve.
General Saiaazar, governor of Pan
ama, has received a tetter from the
governoment general Morales Bertl
saying he is very enthusiastic as to the
outcome and that he hopes to win a
battle which wil decide the fate cf the
