Sokosis recently discussed the question,
“Have we any American literature, or is

The Argus again urges its correspond
ents to write on one side of the paper

ten on both sides, and unless we are very

member that.
They say Cogressman Jim Griggs is
sending hie constituents free cotton seed
that are as bald headed as a door-knob
ami rattle in a sack like peas. We were
served better than that—(wo senatorsand
one congressman sent us a lot of onion
seed each, and, what’s more, some of them
come up.
A lady in Boston has been lecturing
on the subject of onions, declaring that
if eaten liberally, particularly in the
spring, the body is etlecutually protected
against disease,. — Rome Argus.
We are inclined to think she is right.
It would be areckl’ss old disease that
would tackle a woman with an onion
breath.
The Argus, and the whole people of
Whitfield county, sympathize with E litor
Henry A. Wrench, of the Brunswick
Advertiser, and his family, in the death
of Mrs. Wrench. The family is much
beloved in North Georgia, and we all
mourn with them. Mrs. Wrench was a
most excellent woman, and was dearly
loved in Dalton.
The Georgia public school system is far
from perfect. But it is the best school
system Georgia has ever had, and should
receive the encor’agement of all good
citizens. Those who do not like it are
not obliged to patronize it, and those who
need free education cm get it. Even a
num like Sam Jones, who is fanatically op
posed to public schools on general prin
ciples, is obliged to admit the advantage
of that.

On page 7, of this issue, will be found
the introductory installment of the Ed
ucational Department of the Lesche. The
Argus hopes every man, woman and
child in Whitfield county will read it
carefully and thoughtfully. It is an earn
est of some extra fine work of the iadies,
and of a great benefit to the teachers,
pupils, and people nt large, of the entire
county and section.
In this column, from time to time, may
appear some opinions of writers (though
written in a good cause) that the ladies
themselves do not endorse, and some
that do not fully coincide with the edi
tor’s views— though he would come pretty
near endorsing anythingany good woman
would write, whether he agreed witli her
or not. But he knows nil these ladies to
be good, zealous and earnest, and he en
dorses their every effort, and proposes to
give them, and the teachers of our comity,
every possible encouragement. Ihe Ar
gus is going to stick to them, and stand
up for them, as it has upheld and will up
hold.'every good cause.
And it wants you to help them and co
operate with them. This federation work
is a great thing for Georgia ; it is going to
accomplish wonders. Yon who have
been accustomed to sneer at tlie efforts of
woman, can mark The A nous’ prediction :
These good women of Georgia are going
to revolutionize, vastly benefit, bioaden
and greatly improve the educational sys
tem of our state. They have God, Ini
inanity mid charily on their side; they
are doing a work of love, and when so
engaged have ten times the zeal, devo
tion, energy and self sacrifice of men.
Give them your warm encouragement
and help.

The Dingley bill, or rather what little

A New York paper says Senator Steve
Clay “eats pie with a knife.” This is a
j base slander. No Marietta man eats pie
: with a knife. The Marietta man grabs the

to the minute.
It looks like Augusta is sure to have a

Sam Jones says a boy’s hide is the best
way to reach him. Sum’s wrong. It’s
the best way to reach some few boys.
But most of our boys are manly little fel

er should be possessed of rare ability to
learn boys and their character, and know
when to apply the rod.

THE DALTON ARGUS.
(lilt COXFIDEIH-TE 81. 111.
Next Thursday afternoon, all Dalton
will unite in showing respect for the
memory for those, heroes of the “Lost
Cause” who lie buried in West Hid cem
etery—in honoring the glorious history
of the martyrs who died for the grey.
The loving hands of our noble women
will strew their graves with flowers, and
water them with their tears, and their
surviving comrades will vie with each
other in bestowing deserved homage upon
the sacred memory of the gallant lads
who lie beneath the green sward. A de
vout man of God, in eloquent pathos,
will recount the glory of their deeds,
praise their virtues and point the lesson
of their sacrifice for the emulation of all
future generations. 'The younger people
of the generation that has grown up since,
will join hands with the grizzled veter
ans who took part in the events of those
days that tried men souls, mid do honor
to the brave men who fell in defense of
borne, family and the right.
As the editor of Thk Ahuus has most
emphatically declared before, it is good
that it is so. He hopes and prays Hint he
may never see the hour when the south
ron will cease to honor the memory of
the valor mid chivalry that has made the
glory of the Confederate arms one of the
brightest pages in American history.
.Since the day on which the grand old
“Hero of Appomattox,” Robert E. Lee,
the great soldier the world has known,
surrendered to the numberless horde
that overpowered his few half-starved,
but knightly and princely followers, the
memory of the southern dead has been
one nearest his heart—most deeply im
i bedded in bis affections. The story of
their heroism ie a blessed tradition—the
glory of their valor an eternal pride to us
all.
Let us honor our heroes; reverence
their memory ; bedeck Dieir graves; ex
tol their valor to the skies; sing their
praises and chant their glory ; eLed tears
of sweet, true grief to their beloved mem
ory. They are our noble dead; let us
nol ly do them honor.
True, ours is a "Lost Cause,” but the
memory of the glorious, honorable fight >
(or our rights is a blessed heritage that I
all the powers of earth cannot take from 1
ns. i
Let us all eternally green !

The reunion of the United Confederate ■
Veterans, nt Nashville, during the month ;
oi June (official notice on page 9, this j
issue), will, it is believed, be the greatest
of all gatherings of ex-Confederates. Os I
this organization there are now about 900 i
camps, distributed as follows: Northeast i
Texas division, 81; west Texas division,
55; southwest Texas division, 33; south i
east Texas division, 31; northwest Texas
division. 17 total, Texas, 217 ; Alabama,
89; South Carolina, 81; Missouri, 71;
Misi-issippi, 63; Arkansas, 59; Georgia,
158; Louisiana, 51; Kentucky, 39; Ten I
nessee, 34; Virginia, 34; Florida, 30;
Nortli Carolina, 29; Indian Territory, 12;
West Virginia, 11; Oklahoma, 6; Mary
land, 6; New Mexico, 3; Illinois, 2;
Montana, 2;.lndiana, 1; District of Co
lumbia, 1; California, 1. You can see
from that “what a gathering there will
be.”
Puck, the great “funny paper,” tells
this wonderful truth: “If, on the issues
of the day, politicians only made fools of |
themselves there would be no great loss
or harm dene. The (rouble is that they
make fools of other people.” Correct;)
except the use of the word “made.” Na
ture made fools both ot the politicals and
of the people they can fool.
Hl I ONE NATIBFA* riOX.
Waiting at a railway station the other
day, we overheard a conversation between .
three or four gentlemen sitting a little!
way from us. The theme was the diffi-- j
\ culty in satisfying the wants of men. Fi
milly one of the number remarked that
; it was impossible to satisfy a man with
the things of this world, for said he,
; ‘‘there is not enough in this world to sat
isfy one num.” This is an old truth,
which it is very hard indeed to get even
a few people to recognize, though we felt
no little surprise in hearing it expressed
where we did. The mind and the soul
life of mankind is starving, and there is
no end of trouble and restlessness among
; the people, because they are all the time
trying to feed their souls on the things of
this world. But men will go on in the
siune old folly of trying to feed on husks.
Why should rational beingsnot recognize
once and forever that human nature has
a divine relationship, and Hint it is folly
to try to satisfy it with anything but
God? Such a recognition, we know,
would be a great revolution ; but it would
be the revolution that we are are needing
now above all things. There is satisfac
faction for idl of the uurestabout us—and
but one satisfaction —that of being filled
with the fullness of God. —Wesleyan
Christian Advocate.

lIEBEKVED PRAISE.
“Bill Arp” has been over into Soutli
Carolina, and in bis rounds he took in
Newberry, and, of course, like everybody
who goes to Newberry, he was obliged to
meet our old friend, Elbert H, Aull, of
the Herald News. “Bill Arp” says:
“Newberry is a gem of a city and its
population perhaps ie more cultured and
refined than any city of South Carolina.
The professors of her college and high
school, her lawyers, doctors and preach
ers and editors are all gentlemen, not on
ly in manners, but at heart. The stand
ard of good citizenship is high, and the
influence of her leading men pervades the
entire community. Mr. Aull, the editor
of The News-Herald, is perhaps the best
all round man for his work to be found,
for lie is not only a man of high culture,
but is eminently a practical newspaper
man and is devoted to bis calling. He
has written a history of his state, and
it is the standard in the schools. Two of
liis boys, aged ten and twelve, are at
work in the printing room, and do good
service. Mr. Aull ie not at all reconciled
to the modern system of grading the
schools so that it lakes eight years to go
their courses. If four jeers more are,
added for a college course there is no
time left, for a boy to acquire u knowledge
of work or habits of work. From eight j
to twenty he is a nou producer, and when ■
he graduates is fit. only for the learned |
professions, if fit for anything. But his
boys have to mingle study with labor,
and alternate the years of each. Mr. Anil
is the president of the State Press Associ- .
alien. ”
Major Smith could not say too much in
praise of Newberry, nor oi Brother Aull.
As au old contemporary (the opposition
paper in Newberry), the editor of Thk
Argus was in the best possible position \
to judge and know him. He deserves
everything Major Smith says about him,
and more. Always courteous, pleasant,l
honorable and just, he won those who
were “agin” him, as well as those who
were with him, and Hie entire citizenship
respected and loved him.
The editor of The Argus rejoices to
hear of his prosperity. May his climb
be ever upward and onward. His lines
have certainly fallen in pleasant places,
for Newberry is an ideal southern city.
According to the war news sent out
under Turkish influences, “the unspeak
able Turk” is a Christian gentleman. One
telegram says: “The Greek prisoners are
well treated by the Turks. A Greek offi
cer, who had been supplied with coffee
and cigarettes, remarked to the corres
pondent: ‘We were al ways told that the
Turks were barbarous, but I should like
to see more of this soi t of barbarity among
Oir own people.’” This would be angel
ic were it not for little items like this that
creep into the war news sent out by the
associated press: “After the battle the
Tuiks gathered up the dead and wounded
and piled them tog»-tlier in a nearby i
church, locking the doors and setting die ,
to the building. The agonizing shrieks -
of the helpless wounded as they were i
burned alive could be heard for miles.” J
You can take your choice. One is the I
Mohammedan version, the other is the |
Greek version.
I.XJIM TO THE CALF.
The editor of the Jaytown War whoop I
picked up one of his metropolitan ex
changes and read :
“The charming soubrette, Eva Hollis
Whopper, has just purchased a new bull
dog.”
“It’s dnrn funny,” he said to himself
and the cat, “that these here city papers
publish such stuff mid i lien make fun of
me fer chronidiu the fact that Squire Jim i
Brown’s cow had a calf.”—-Exchange.
