The W. & A. Railroad Lease.
The L. & N. Railway System has
leased the State road for twenty-nine
years at a rental of $35,001 a month.
From a Dalton stand point—from a
Georgia standpoint—no occurance of
past several years is so fraught with
promise of good to our state, as the se
curing of our State property by this
great railway system.
We are glad that the L. it N. got it.
and more than thankful that the wis
dom of the last legislature has found
this solid approval.
There is enough pride in the fact
that Georgia is now an abjective point,
in its inviting fields of wealth to stim

railway systems in the world into and
through its territory, to make us all
happy, and in good temper with them
both.

matchless grip of wealth and bold span

Southern brains is a source of gladness
to our people.
The L. & N. with the commerce of
half a continent locked in its lines of
steel, bold, eager, liberal, and progres
sive in its helpfullness, all the time
building and pushing forward, may be
welcomed into our midst with a confi
dence of good that cannot yet be an
ticipated.
The systems mean more to Georgia
than all other developments, and
stand as the finger boards to a future
which the wildest dreams have not
yet pictured.

Eieht Democrats Sell Out for a
Drink.
Washington, July I.—Eight Dem
ocratic members to-day sold out their
party; placed Southern ballot boxes
in the hands of partisan federal offi
cers ; provided for federal troops and
federal marshals around our polls, and
allowed the Republicans to go on with
their iniquitious legislation to perpet
uate their power —simply for a drink.
Men who would not have sold out
for a mint of money let their votes go
for a Santa Cruz rum punch, embel
lished with a slice of pine apple and a
piece r>f qrange.
Eight Democrats sat in the con
gressional hotel bar, sipping this sum
mer drink, and were so well pleased
with it that they were not present to
vote on the Lehlback amendment to
the force bill.
The amendment, which came over
from yesterday, was the one providing
for the federal election bill in every
county of every State in the Union.
It was an amendment which, had it
been adopted, would have killed the
bill. Both sides had been working to
have their men present. The Demo
crats were, quite confident of victory,
for there were some Republicans who
would not vote, and a few who voted
with the Democrats.
Judge of the surprise of the Demo
crats when Reed announced the vote
132 to 138, the amendment having
been lost by six majority.
The Democratic leaders were dazed,
but when a few moments later, the
eight Democratic members from the
congressional bar, sauntered in leis
urely, whistling in chorus “Little An
nie Rooney,” the Democratic leaders
were indignant, and they should have
been, will be the verdict of every Dem
ocrat in America.
That eight Democrats should have
neglected to vote in order to get a
drink and thereby allow a force bill to
be passed, which they could have prac
tically defeated by their votes, is sim
ply outrageous. But the worst feature
of the whole affair was that one of the
absent Democrats was a southerner,
from one of the Gulf States.—Ed. Bar
rett, in Atlanta Constitution.
Dalton’s Census.
The Aegi s puts the population of
Dalton at 3,250. Ten years ago it was
2,540. This is an increase of 28 per
cent. This is not as good as we had
reason to believe the showing would
be, but it will do. It is along with the
rest of the towns, and the only reason
that we have not a population of 4000
is just because we have not the house
room for any more people.
This condition is being realized,
and there is such an era of house
building in the city as has never been
before. It shows in every corner of
the town from the palatial residence
of the capitalist to the cozy cottage of
the laborer. It shows in additions
and enlargements, and emphasizes
itself in the push of others who are
getting ready to build, and of others
still, who are ready and anxious, but
lire holding back till the rush is over
to make the supply of material and
labor easier.
With our disappointment in the
enumeration we have full consola
tion with having kept up with the
procession, and in the knowledge that
the town is now increasing at a rate
that will give us 10,000 before the
next census.
There is not a habitable vacant
dwelling or store house in Dalton.
There is no idleness.
We are in a good fix, and every
thing in a swing.
We are in perfect trim for a future
development, and a move is on foot—
the move of a united, determined en
ergetic population, that will shake up
the town, and double our population
in the next two years.
All you come in
and extend the time for which you
have pooled your real estate. When
this is done the deal will be closed up.
Come right along and let ub join the
procession.
”A Wonderful Remedy”
From the Central Christian (Indian
apolis) : “This is the season Os troub
lesome. and, in many cases the begin
ning of fatal colds. We have tried
many cough syrups and compounds,
but none have given the high satisfac
tion that Dr, White’s Pulmonaria has.
Each winter ior several years we have
kept a bottle of this wonderful remedy
in the house. After much experience
with it, we can say say without hesita
tion that it is a most valuable medi
cine.
“Every cough is quickly relieved
and cured by it. Our children, too,
do not hesitate to take it, as it is very
pleasant the taste, and what is espec
ially gratifying in its use, is that it
Joes not produce constipation, and
does not leave one weak and nerveless.
It is the best cough remedy known to
us. Brother White is a thoroughly
reliable physician, and the medicines
advertised by him are reliable remedies.

“Kennesaw’s Bombardment —How
the Sharpshooter’s Woke up the Bat
teries,” is a neatly printed historical
novel, from the press of the Record i
Publishing Co,, Atlanta, that has been
kindly placed upon our table by the
author, Mr. Joseph M. Brown. It is a
vivid picture production of the realis
tic scenes of a campaign, which, in
many respects, will always be claimed
as without a parrallel in war’s record.
Mr. Brown has done much service in
bringing out not only the striking in
cidents of the Georgia campaign along
the W. &. R- R > but in proving statis
tics that stand out boldly to the credit
of Southern heroism. In this little
book he has so grouped many of these
together, giving measure of both pleas
ure and profit in its reading, with a
spice of romance to soften the harsh
ness of detail.
Merit Wins.
We desire to say to our citizen, that]
for years we have been selling Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption, Dr.
King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica
Naive and Electric Bitters, and have
never handled lemedies that sell as well L
or that have given better satisfaction. |
We do not hesitate to guarantee them 1
every time, and we stand ready to re
fund’the purchase price, if satisfactory
results do not follow their use. These
jetne.iies have won their great popularity
purely on their merits. &.» J. Mclxiiighl,

One Dollar a Year.
A District High School.
The Dalton District Conference has
approved the plan of establishing a
Methodist High School at some cen
ptral point in the district.
The need of this is felt in the ab
sence of institutions of higher English
education in the country, by a class of
well-to-do citizens who are unable to
assume the cost of collegiate tuition.
The plan of the district school is of
a co-operative character, with a view
to furnishing first class English educa
tion at a minimum cost, under a Board
of Trustees from the District confer
, ence, with proper board facilities with
members of the faculty, on the school
grounds.
The necessity of such an institution
is so generally felt, that the ministers,
recognizing it, in their pastoral charac
ter, have worked up the interest which
culminated in conference adoption.
It is desired to begin the work at an
early day so as to be ready for the next
year’s work.
We write of it to approve, and to
suggest in a business way, that it .
worthy of consideration by our town
and county.
The Trustees, of which Dr. Lowry
is one, are ready to receive proposals
for its location.
The capacity of the school is to be
for about 150 pupils, and it is believed,
they will be easily secured.
What would such an institution bo
worth to Dalton?
Con’t we offer ten acres of land a
few miles out with a few thousand
dollars bonus?
Would’nt it pay our business men.
Criticising a Young Lady.
“She would be a pretty girl but for
one thing.”
“What’s that?” asked Charley.
George—“ Her face is always covered
with puple and red blotches.”
Charley—“Oh, that’s easily enough
disposed of. Used to be the same way
myself, but I caught on to the trouble )
one day, »>nd got
Charley—“ Simply blood eruptions.
Took a short course of P. P. P I tell
you, it’s the boss blood corrector. The
governor had rheumatism so bad that
you could Lear him holler clear across
the county every time he moved. He
tried it, and you know what an athlet
ic old gent he if now. If somebody
would give Miss Daisy a pointer, she
would thank them afterwards. All
the drug stores sell it.”
Col. B. W. Wrenn.
Governor Gordon performed a very
graceful act this morning in the ap
pointment of Col. B. W. Wrenn, the
general passenger agent of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
way, to a position on his staff. Al
though a Virginian by birth, Colonel
Wrenn has long been 0 Georgian by
adoption, and has been a firm and de
voted friend of the military of Atlanta,
and the State.
Recently, in his more important po
sition, he has (Jonp much to help the
Georgia companies in their move
ments to camp and prize di ill, and in
the Kansas City drill his persona! as
well as official efforts in behalf of the
Atlanta Rifles won the heartiest praise
and Gov. Gordon’s timely recognition
oi this service will be generally and
heartily' applauded. It is needless to
state that in uniform Col. Wrenn will
be one of the Governor’s handsomest
aids, and that is saying a great deal.—
