ENTERED AT DALTON POST OFFICE AS SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER. 11. A. WKENCH, Editor and Proprietor. >A i l I;DAY, JULY 5, 1890. Dalton wants a steam laundry, and needs it badly. What’s the matter with having a street railroad? There’s nothing bigger for Dalton than a dummy line to Spring Place, The old confeds arc having a gay time around Chattanooga this week. Murray county elected Northen del egates Tuesday. A good, ground-soaking rain is what this section wants just about this time. This is the year for the hand-sha king county-candidate. Treat him tenderly, Dalton now has two of the greatest railway systems of the world as next door neighbors. Blaine is showing himself the man in opposing the political brigandage of Reed and Harrison. Is there any real trouble iu the De mocracy of the State taking a hand in the Democratic primaries? The news from over the Seventh congressional District is quite cheering for Everett, the farmers’ candidate. A western congressman of the crank order wants to pension the ex-slaves. We are in favor of it. Let all sections have a hand in the robbery. a tie Xpuoiiian paDy? peifsibh theo ry should make Dennis Kerney as big a man as Tom Reed. The First National Bank has just notified its stockholders of the their semi-annual 5 per cent, dividend. Attention is directed to the notice of application for a charter for the Chattanooga and South Eastern rail road, through this county. In the fifth congressional district Livingston and Stewart are to be spi ked in their race by the entry of Col. Hulsey, of Atlanta. The County Alliance will meet at Dalton next Friday, the 11th, at which time Capt. Everett, of Polk, will ad dress the Alliance. A full attendance is desired. The L. N. will probably assume immediate active management of the W. <t A. railroad, as it owns about three-fourths of the stock of the pres ent lease. Things begin to look as if Paul B. Trammell would be the next represen tative in the legislature from Whitfield county. That’s the present drift of sentiment. The Tribune wants to know why Dalton people are served with Ice at one half a ceut a pound while the Ro mans have to pay one cent a pound. Dalton has the cheapest ice of any town in the state. On account of bad health Col. Har deman withdraws from the guberna torial race. /I his leaves Col. Northen without opposition. In the meantime the counties that have been acting have been largely for Northen. The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution charges, and he is generally correct, that eight dem ocratic congressmen were absent from their seats swinging a cock tail when the vote was taken on an amendment to the Federal election bill which would have virtually killed it, and which their votes would have carried! Henry Weatherly keeps the best and cheapest line of Shoes. HALTON. GEORGA. JULY 5.1890. 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 ulate the coming of the two greatest railway systems in the world into and through its territory, to make us all happy, and in good temper with them both. The West Point Terminal with, its matchless grip of wealth and bold span of development, radiating and brisking the great water-ways of the continent, with Georgia as its semi-axis of opera tions, and tempered by Georgia and 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.

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. For sale bv F. O. Trevitt. “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, Druggist. 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.— Atlanta Journal June 14. FOR A QUARTER.
