J. W. CAIN
Editor and Proprietor.
Bummekvii.i.e, Ga., May 10, 1899.
Entered at Summerville postollice as
second class matter.
Alßreaking Heart.
Editor Cant, of the Calhoun
Times, speaks with a breaking
heart, lie says there is no more
room for the Ringgold Herald than
there is for a whale in a mustard
seed, and that there was never room
in Ringgold and Catoosa county
for one newspaper. He declares
that the Calhoun Times is a much
too large and expensive paper lor
Calhoun, und that the newspaper
business is the worst overdone in
Georgia.
Thu above is clipped from the
last issue of the Ringgold Herald,
and the benighted individual who
edits that paper goes on, to the
length of half a column, in the
same ridiculous strain.
"Why do the heathen rage, or
the people imagine a vain thing?’
Editor Cain has no connection,
whatever, with the Calhoun 'limes
He knows nothing whatever about
the newspaper field in Ringgold,
and has expressed no opinion
about it; and cares nothing about
it.
Change your brand, neighbor.
The kind you are using now seems
to fly to your head.
A Level Headed Editor.
The Review, the oldest, one of
the leading and one of the most
conservative Republican papers in
northwest Indiana, in an editoral
in Tuesday’s issue, vigorously jus
tifies the Holt lynching. It says:
"The editor confesses no sym
pathy with the critics of the mob
who burned the negro in Georgia.
If ever there was palliation for a
crime, if crime it could bo called,
in this case the vengeance, quick
and complete for the deed of the
negro butcher and ravisher, wa b
exhausted. A brute who would
deliberately murder the husband
in cold blood in order that he
might satisfy his lust on the de
fenseless wife, is beyond the pale
of even modern barbarism. The
crime was the most horrible that
can beconceived. A people that ac
cepts a hell as a punishment for
the smaller sins of humanity ought
not to blame people for applying
the torch to a brute that could in
cold blood be guilty of such acts.
Ho is worse thana wild beast;
worse than the most savage inhabi
tant of the most uncivilized por
tion of the earth. In this matter
it is not a question ot race, but the
individual criminal, and there are
times when the public has more
reason to violent measures to pro
tect itself against human beasts
than nganist wild beasts. The Re
view never has countenanced
lynching, but the writer confesses
a willingness to wink at the act
of the Georgia people in this spec
ial case.
May is a warm number.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY,MAY io, 1899-
The Liquor Question.
What promised to be unpleasant ■
litigation ending, doubtless, in no
good to the county will, it is hoped,
be averted. The question as to
whether the saloons would have to
close before the expiration of the
license began to be agitated. There
were many doubtful opinions.
Lawyers at home and abroad were
consulted. The law, as originally
passed, clearly protected the li
cense already issued, but the new
code was silent on the matter, and ]
lawyers differed.
The question had not been raised
in any county which heretofore
had adopted the law and no effort'
had been made to close the saloons
until the license had expired. In
view of the facts the saloon men,
rather than lose the license which
for Federal, State and town now
amounts to $525.00 for each place
of business, were about to silo a
contest to set aside the election,
among other points, raising the
question made in Coweta county,
now in the Supreme court, that no
place has the right to hold a local
option election except a place
where liquor is sold. Fortunately
before filing the contest, many of
t ho leaders among the Prohi bi lion
ists were consulted, and it devel
oped that not one, among the
many strongly opposed to saloons,
believed it fair to cause a forfei
ture of the license and so great
money and property loss to the
liquror men. An understanding
was reached by which the liquor
men should not file a contest and
the saloons should not bo dis
turbed until the expiration of tho
present license,
Mr. Clemmons’ license expires
Doc. 28, and Mr. Fuller’s Jan. 10.
However, they both agree to close
on the night of Dec. 23rd, making
the town dry for Christmas. If
this plan is carried out, doubtless,
everybody concerned will feel bet
ter about the matter, and the lo
cal option law will start out under
the most propitious circumstances.
The monument erected by Geor
gia cn the Chickamauga National
Park, in lasting memory of her
valiant sons, both living and dead,
who nobly illustrated southern
valor on that hard fought field, is
one of the grandest, and by long
odds the best on the Park. It is
a splendid piece of work, nobly
planned and fitly executed, and
every true hearted Georgian will
be proud to know that Georgia,
like a gentle hearted mother, re
members those of her sous who
wont forth to battle and came not
back again.

One of the promising localities
in the Chattanooga fruit district
is around Summerville, Georgia.
The favorable conditions have been
thoroughly tested by numerous or
chards of various kinds of fruit —
apple, plum, peach, pear, strawber
ry and other small fruit, all excel
lent in quality and yield. A beau
tiful country of small valleys and
ridges, affording just the variety of
soils aud locations most favorable
for diversity of crops, all tillable
and susceptible of high cultiva
tion. Tho beautiful village of Sum

' fine streets and a hospitable and
I intelligent people, is located on the

I low prices. Many new settlers are
already attracted there by their j
extra advantages.—Southern Fruit

MENLO ITEMS.
Rev. C. T. Starkey filled the pul

His sermon was taken from the
third Chapter of Eccl. His theme
was, “The changes of life'and their
effects.” Mr. Starkey is a strong
man and his work here is very
highly appreciated by his hearers
of all denominations. We have a
force of excellent preachers who
give us rich food every time they
come before us. We believe Chat
tooga county is as well united as
any county in North Georgia. We
have adherents of the leading
churches mixed up over our coun-
■ ty and everywhere you go you find
the members of the other churches
. willing and helping his brother,
I though they be members of differ-
I ent churches. This is something
'of which we are very proud. The
I good people of our community are
too far past that old selfish idea.

Mr. Camp’s Lecture.
Hon. J. G. Camp delivered a lecture
at the Methodist church last night to
an appreciative audience, his subject
being “Truth and Shams.” Mr. Camp
has a wonderful command of language,
and delighted his audience with his
gifts of oratory and eloquence. It is
to be regretted that his au .ience was
not larger, as those who attended were
more than pleased with the evening’s
entertainment.
A Wife Says:
"We have four children. With the first
three I suffered almost unbearable pains from
12 to 14 hours, and had to be placed under
the influence of chloroform. I used three
bottles of Mother’s Friend before our last
child came, which
is a strong, fat and
healthy boy, doing § ®
my housework up A *
to within two hours , ,
of birth, and suf- (OT \
sered but a few hard T
pains. This lini- / Y" Cj

Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It rela-re,
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
reliev es morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect

labor is short and practically painless. Dan

avoided, and recovery is merely a matter of
a few days.
