SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26 1892.
A. H. SHAVER, Editor.
J. B. STERN, Business Manager.
Entero! at the I’oMolJice in Dalton, Qa , at
■ecoud-claas matter, aud iaaucd every Saturday
by Shaver A stern.
ONE JJOJLLAR A YEAR.
Address all letters and make all checks paya
ble to
THE ARUVN. Dalton. Ua.
Pull for Dalton, and she will pull
for you.
Tom Watson’s contest, like Torn
Watson, will peter out.
Cotton still goes up tin price. The
fruits of democratic success are sweet
indeed.
Orange blossoms seem to be the
popular iiower in Whittled county
just now.
If the truth is told by Stiles about
Dade coal mines, they are a blot upcn
the good name of the state.
One of Dalton’s greatest needs is
small industries. They do more for a
town than any other one thing.
The republican press seem to be as
versatile liars since the election,* as
they were before>their recent “squash
men t.”
Dalton needs a tobrfcco factory. It
would coin money, and greatly en
courage the farmers of North Georgia
in raising tobacco. •
The average Daltonian was so full
of Thanksgiving dinner yesterday,
that he didn’t seem to care a cuss
whether he got any Christmas turkey
or wot.
* ——— —■ —.l'
The wages of the working classes
of the north are rapidly being ad
vanced, thanks to the democratic vic
tory. Aud this tidal wave moves
eon th war-d.
Did any of you do the Pharisee act
Thursday, and thank God that you
were not as other men are? Come,
now; honest—speak right out in
meeting and confess!
Read the proceedings of the Ten
nessee and Georgia Tobacco associa
tion in another column. The farmers
of Whitfield will grow tabuooo, if you
will furnish them a market. Let
Dalton build a tuba<*>co factory, aud
make a hom.e market for Whitfield
tobacco..
The extra work incumbent upon
putting in a new outfit, changing the
form of the paper, and putting on a
new dress of all home print, rendered
it impossible for The Argus to reset
all of its “ads” in the new type this
week. All “ads” will be reset as soon
as it is possible to do so.
Gov. Buchanan, of Tennessee is
sued a proclamation calling upon the
people of that state to return thanks
Ttiwrsday. This was magnanimous,
indeed. The greatest blessing for
which Tennesseans had to return
thanks Thursday was the recent igno
minious defeat of Buchanan.
In the absence of a Thanksgiving
turkey, The Argus “devil” attempted
to eat our old democratic rooster. The
• rooster’s spurs stuck in the “devil’s”
throat, and, in the language of the
poet,
To our sorrow
His funeral will occur tomorrow.
This is a “devil” of a Thanksgiving
story.
We would call especial attention to
the communication of Mr. 8. M.
Coyle in another column, in answer
to the question propounded by The
Argus last week, “Why is not Dalton
two or three times its present size?”
Too much thought and discussion
cannot be given this question. Read
Mr. Coyle’s views, and let us hear
‘from you.
And so Mary Ellen Lease is going
to run for the United States senate.
Since “Sister Mary” refuses to content
herself with nursing babies, darning
socks and patching her husband’s
pants, and seems determined to figure
in man’s political roles, she should be
gin at the bottom and first wear
pants, chew tobacco, drink whiskey
and swear big round oaths. She will
,’nake a very sorry politician and sen-
unless she possesses those man-
accomplishments.;
THE ARGIN.
The Argus appears only partially
in its new dress this week. Our ina
bility to secure more ample quarters at
once, and the difficulty of arranging
the new material in the crowded con"
dition of the present home of the
paper, rendered it impossible for the
paper to assume a full new dress at
once. But, even if the delay of some
of those from whom The Argus pur
chased has delayed us, we will get
there all the same. Dalton is going to
have as neat a paper, as any of them,
and as good as our brains and energy'
can make it, and as the patronage ac
corded it warrants.
We mean business, and w’e are run-,
ning The Argus ou business princi
ples. It takes money to “make the
mare go,” and a newspaper is no dif
ferent from any other sort of a “mare”
in that respect. It takes patronage
to keep a pitper going. A two-horse
paper cannot be drawn by a one-horse
patronage. If the people of this sec
tion will patronize the Weekly Ar
gus sufficiently., the management will
make it a seml-weekly ; if they patron
ize the semi-weekly sufficiently they
shall have a tri-weekly or a daily.
They shall have just siR-.li a paper as
the patronage they accord us says
they desire.
In the meantime, we are going to
give you a good local paper, and one
that will advertise Dalton, North
Georgia and Whitfield county wher
ever it is read. We are going to pull
as hard as we can for you ; cannot you
reciprocate and pull for us? If so,
the success of The Argus, and Dalton
and Whitfield county is assured.
Pull for The Argus, it is [lulling for
you.
DALTON stocks.
In another column of this issue of
The Argus will be found an article on
the industries of Dalton, and the quo
tations of Dalton stocks. There is no
better index to the prosperity of a
city than the price of stock in its local
enterprises, and the bosom of every
citizen of Dalton should swell with
pride at the showing made in that ar
ticle.
There are but five or six kinds of
stocks in Dalton that sell under $1.25,
and only two that sell at par. There
is but one quoted at <sl2s, and
three at sl.lO. The remaining quota
tions are mainly $1,75,51.97 and $2.00.
There are ten local institutions that
have no stock on the market —it is not
for sale at any price.
Think of that a moment. Take the
New York stock market, and do mpare
it with the quotations of Dalton
stocks, as shown in The Argus’ article.
In the New York stock market, the
majority of stocks are quoted below
50 cents and some as low as 8 cents on
the dollar. Few go as high as $1.25
and only one goes as high as $1.50.
That comparison will tell the tale.
Southern stocks as an investment
are gilt-edged compared with northern
stocks, and of all the southern slocks
we see quoted, Dalton stocks are head
and shoulders above thorn nil.
The quotations of Dalton stocks
given show upon what a sound aud
prosperous basis the business of Dal
ton is The Argus chal
lenges any City in the state to make,
not a better showing, but as good a
showing.
Put up, or shut up!
WHAT WILL THE SENATE DO?
Soon after Cleveland was defeated
in 1888, he sent into the senate two
nominations, Chose of Adlai Steven
son as United States judge for the Dis
trict of ColumlSa, and Gov. Hugh S.
Thompson, of. South Carolina (father
of Capt. T. C. Thompson, of this city),
as a member of the inter-state com
merce commissioh. The senate, then
republican, refused to confirm those
appointments, holding that a defeated
candidate had no right to appoint any
one to life positions.
After Harrison’s inauguration, such
a weight was brought to bear upon the
president to appoint Hugh S. Thomp
son on tne inter-state commission
that he was forced to do so.
But, the point is, the senate that re
fused to confirm Adlai Stevenson’s
nomination on the ground that a de
feated president, had no right to ap
point to life positions is, on the repub-
THE 9YEMBER 26,1892.
Tomi sale, mainly the present A senate.
'1 here ur<> several vacancies'to'lit' (e po
t,i lions now to be filled. Wi 11 the
rude stick to the precedent* it Bi as set

pdintment the republicans rc-3iisedl to

that attempted to-snub both himetw f

publican senators feel, being com
pJ ed to look up to the very nuaiin
th| y attempted in their little t«» I
kef? down? Not very pleae: uil, we |l
aho ild imagine. j
OUR NEW QUARTERS.
The Argus has leased the bor'lding
on lhe corner of Hamilton and King
sti e< its, formerly occupied by Trea ziu’s
dr. q. store and Uow occupied by
Br Arning’s crockery and tinware es
tabli fitment, for a term of three y-iars
begil ning January 1, 1893. The )< ase
has been signed jointly both by T/dU
ABGU-l and by J. L. Fincher, agent lor
Mrs. J. B. Nichols, and The Argik
is as< red that from January 1 it will
have '.ne most convenient and acce.- u
sible <| uarters in the city.
The Argus had hoped to be able to
mover ito better quarters at once, but !
circuit Rances over which it had no
contro rendered it impossible for the
pa per to get the desired location
soimet and it will have to make out
with its present inconvenient location
unt L tv* first of the new year.
H ove fer, The Argus will bid its
read a. Happy New Year from its
new Iwane.
Th republican bosses now say that
Andri W Carnegifc did it. There is
more Ini th than poetry in that asser
tion. Carnegie did a good deal of it.
Politic: d parties, like business firms
and pr. vale individuals, cannot suc
ceed wi. en they are composed of men
who can t for money alone, who value
men om y on account of the money
they possess, and who care for the
feelings at id rights of no one who has
not money • Such a man is Carnegie;
such a part y is the republican party.
The party that succeeds, as well as
firm or mat>, must have heart and
show that it feds for the poor and op
pressed, and stands up for the rights
of the people. Such a man is Cleve
land ; such a [ >:iTty is the democratic
party. God n u-de the world with a
great big heart . and those who do not
exhibit heart ai«e mishits.
The ladies r< Jad the papers to see
where to go to C o their shopping, and
to find out wha the merchants have
to sell. All tin 3 precious darlings,
bless their dear In ‘arts, read The Ar
gus regularly, ami if you want them
to know where t » go to spend their
husbands’money, j OU must advertise
in The Argus.
The six fakirs arr e.-'ted at the Macon
fair were fined SI,OOO each by Judge
Miller of that circ til. That sounds
something like it. If all our judges
would follow Miller s example, these
gambling sharks would soon give
Georgia a wide berth .
THE EDITOR’S J LIST CHAIR.
—The Argus extc nds its heartfelt
sympathy to Editor lieartsell, of the
Spring Place Jiinplecnte, in the loss of
his father. A man n ever has but one
father, and when he loses him, he loses
a thousand friends.
—The third parry ■editors closely re
semble “the boy the calf ran over” at
the present sitting.
—Editor Holden, of the Blue Ridge
Post, is one of the m< >st devout and re
ligious members of the Georgia press.
In fact, he has been kn< >wn to rival even
a preacher in destroyii :g fried chicken,
an<l he is always pray?.ng to take up a
collection among bis delinquent sub
set! hers.
—How many of the democratic editors
who were denouncing Cleveland as a
“stuffed prophet” last spring, are hoping,
praying and working for appointment
under him next spring? Echo answers,
“How many?”
—Our pfcstor dined with us last Sun
day. We feel better spir tually, even if
our meal bag is in a rather dilapidated
condition from the raid.
—The daily paper Hutt cannot get
along without chucking itself full of
[date matter, ought to reduce its sixe or
change to a weekly. Its use of plats
n jitter is prima facie evidence that it ie
t< large for its field.
—Now is the time for the delinquent
st ibscriber to make the heart of the
e< lator glad by plunking down cash
ci tough to settle arrears. We are still
w earing our summer socks, and have
al >out used up all our furniture'for fuel.
Save the country by increasing the
m aagre multitude of an editor’s rations.
—Adolph S. Ochs, of the Chattanooga
Ti mes, has done a great work for the
papers of the south in perfecting the
So uthern Associated Press. Mr, Ochs is
on e of the ablest newspaper men in the
la: id, and a hard worker. The press of
the South could not very well get alonj>
wi tnout him.
- -This is a queer old world filled with
qu< )er folks. And of all the odd ones, an
edi tor can be the queerest of ducks. He can
sit lerenely on the fence until Cleveland
is L oiinnated, and w hen Grover is elected
he will outhurrah Grover!* most loyal
friej id just the same as if ne had helped
to p lit him there, and start a petition for
| offic e before the wires quit ticking the
new i of Cleveland’s election. A queer
wori d, indeed.
\ —. V back number—Editor Irwin, of
third party hullabaloo fame.
—C »ne of our old domineeker hens laid
tv o 2ggs in one day this week. The
Lo\rd will provide—even for the poor edi
tor!. Sow is time to subscribe!
—e know that when a poor, one
gall lus editor taffies the editor of a big
daily , all the boys are inclined to yell,
‘•‘Ssajl ar in the gourd.” Yet, even if we
lay o urs 'elf liable to that imputation, we
imiad say r that Clark Howell has, by his
Jjreeeiu c at de and zealous work for Cleve
land uml the party, and by his strong
and <CC nv: ncing letters to tiie New York
Jleraki, l aade for himself a reputation
rarely ;qu ailed by a national committee
' ixiu,’ a. id i lever within our knowledge by
j -one so .you ng. Clark Howell is one of
.lie south’s coming great men.
—Bret, ire u, applying for office is one
tlii’jng; getti: ig it is another thing.
--Sister M ary Ellen Pantless Lease’s
gall in rt nn ing for the United States
senale iuspir es us with almost enough
nerve to aspire to the coronership.
—The home Hustler is one of the
bright est and best little papers that
comes -to tin s o ffice. Byrd is a hustler in
earnest, and—We hope he will get the
postoffic e.
—A fr/end is kind enough to inform us
that “Th; Elks gi\ ing” is the French for
“big dinr. A s we are not French, we
did witho .it tl ie lug dinner as usual, and
contented our'sell with an extra allow
ance of oui’ daily dish of hopping-john.
—J. T. Gi.’rvt sis spoken of as minister
to Italy. If Johnnie wants it, let him
have it —we certainly will not kick.
—Many a i .oan makes the idiotic mis
take of judgi.llg the worth of people by
the amount of Jiio aey they possess. The
people, sooner - or later, retaliate, and
judge him alone '-by the amount of money
ne possesses. I’lien, unless he has mill
ions, he is in a sony fix indeed. How
ever, this fault never goes in company
with brains.
—There’s money in the newspaper
business, for we h ive neve." extracted it.
But then, poor the printers get it
all.
—ls any. of our n’marks should be a
little disjointed this veek, our brethren
will please excuse uh. A. fly ing-jenny
merry-go-round has b >cated its tent just
opposite The Argus oiiiee, aud the mis
erable squeaking sound witli which its
“music” box punishes i.be natives under
the nom de plume, off “music”, is
enough to disjoint a cyclopedia, much
less a poor editor. We Jive .in heq»es
that it will make enough co pay its' way
on to another town before auotleer ween
rolls by. If not, may the Lord nave
mercy on us!
APPKEUMATED COMPL iMEVIS.
The Dalton Argus is one of the
best papers in North Georgia, and
now it is going to be better than ever.
A recent change of management pats
a Splendid triumvirate at rt* head.
Shaver, Stern and Reynolds c.m’t be
beat. —Cedartown Standard.
Dalton is to have a new paper- A.
H. Shaver, formerly editor of the
Chattanooga Evening News, will be

tor and J. B. Stern {business manager.
These gentlemen are all thorough
newspaper men, and the people m.xy
expect nothing but one of the bright
est and bijst of papers. Calhoun
Times.
Coming Event.
Miss Adelaide Westcott, of New Yoik,
a handsome aud charming young lady,
has been engaged by the ladies of the
First Baptist church to give Dalton on
December 6th, a literary and social treat,
in which the speaker takes the part of an
American girl on a tour through the
Alps.
She does not lecture, but is accompa
nied by imaginary companions, Aunt
Jane, Tl susceptible maiden aunt and a
queer old count in love with the aunt’s
money.
The entertainment is both novel and
entertaining, and should be liberally
