A PAPER TO SEND AWAY.
The Daily Argus will on November
the thirtieth, Thanksgiving day. issue
a sixteen page paper of commercial
Dalton and Whitfield county.
It will contain fully illustrated
sections of the city, her industries and
■prospective future.
Pages will be devoted to the early
history of the city and her industrial
struggles.
Every phase of life will be fully and
accurately covered. The edition will
I
|be under the auspices of the Dalton
Chamber of Commerce.
The best known adyertisment
writers and the ablest and some of
the oldest citizens will contribute to
he religious and civic features of this
section.
The coming of two gigantic elec
trical power companies to Dalton when
exploited in this issue will be very in
viting to prospective manufacturers.
Everything will be shown and printed
that will be of service toward locating
new citizens and investors. The ag
ricultural features will be fully shown.
Thanksgiving day will also be Geor
gia advertising day when every Geor
gian is expected to send some sort of
an advertisment of his or her home
town to some one far away in order
to attract more people to the state and
i this issue of The Argus will provide
everyhing that such an event is ex
pected to cover. There will be a
large number of extra copies printed
for that purpose and several so far
I’.nvp stated that they want quite a
few of them for that purpose. The
edition will in fact be a booster edi
tion for the local chamber of com
merce.

INTERURBAN TROLLF"?.
Chattanooga can never hope to be
the great city fo r which nature de
signed it. until every one of her neigh
bors within a radius of fifty miles be
connected with her by a good system
of interurban lines —Dalton Argus.
We have been telling our public
spirited people that very thing for
some time and now that our neighbors
are taking it up perhaps we will hear
of something doing. The application
the other day of the Chattanooga
Traction company for a charter for
an electric railway system radiating
from Chattanooga indicates that the
desideratum of which the Argus
speaks is going to be obtained within
the next two years. The tremendous
development of electrical power for
use in this city and vicinity about to
become available at Hale's bar and on
the Ocoee river leaves conjecture out
of the question and makes the inter
urban trolley system not only a pos- '
sibility but a certainty.
When that happens we have reason
to believe that this city will have met
eie of the important contingencies
upon which is greatest development
has been depending. —Chattanooga

WHAT THEY CLAIM.

The Ocilla, (Ga.) Star notes how
easy it is to carry counties for any
particular candidate, before the elec

papers, it says, are already “carry

] “People are known by their roads,
declares a government expert on road
building, and there can be little if
- any’ doubt that he is correct in the
main. Along the line of a poor coun
try road, marked by sand-beds, mud
holes, rotten puncheons, broken brid
ges and the like, it is but natural to
expect to find poor farms, poor farm
houses and poor farmers. The farmer
who has the pride of possession in him
will see to it that the approach to his
house is over a good road. He may
ot individually be able to extend the
improvement to any great distance,
but he will work upon his community
until he has impressed his ideas upon
his neighbors and they will eventually
join him in the enterprise. When one
strikes a good road, however, the ex
pectation is that the property on
either side of it will be found well
kept and attractive. “By their roads
ye shall know them’’ mav pass info a
proverb. —Savannah News.
THE DALTON ARGUS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1911.
By James Wells.
The Objector.
I am the Great Objector!
Nothing can ever suit me.
I’m not a mere reflectqr
Os things that I hear and see.
For little flaws I’m searching
In each careful man-made plan.
And happy if I'm cnirching •
The work of my fellow-man.
I am the Great Objector
To progress in every way,
1 am the great corrector —
All evils I fain would stay,
For naught is right, my brother.
As far as my eye can see,
If it should come from another
Instead of a plan from me.
Half the world doesn’t know how
the other half lives —and the other
half don’t care.

In and Out.
I went into an inn one day,
The price so high I could not pay,
The landlord told me, luckless lout,
To either pay him or get out.
“Your fare is bad. your rates too high,
'Tis just like robbery.” said I.
“If I should pay without a doubt.
Then you'd be in and I’d be out.”
Said he: “If you don’t show your tin
You cannot stay within my inn.
For if you’re in, without a doubt.
We're bound to have a falling out.”
Said I to ’ im: “What do you mean?
You must f’ ink I am something green!
If in your inn I’m forced to stay
I'm out of pocket anyway.
“If in your inn why then I’m out;
Os that there isn’t any doubt.
If I am out my hard-earned tin,
I'll swear that you’ll be out an inn.”
Said he: “Your bluffing will not pay
And in my inn you cannot stay.”
And so I left there in a rout,
I’m in a meal but quite “put out.”
• •• »
A Song of Fall.
The frost is on the pumpkin,
The ’simmon’s in the beer,
The yam is in the oven—
And the coal man now is here.
• •••
Help a Fellow.
Help a fellow when you can —
Help him be a better man.
Just •because a fellow’s down,
Ain’t no use to kick him ’roun’.
Teip a fellow when you can.
Though he is an “also ran.”
Help him up to start anew —
Some day you may need-help too.

The motor truck in its importance
to country districts where good roads
are provided will make as great a
change in hauling produce and mer
chandise to and from the country and
tlfc city as automobiles has marked I
in the change from the pleasure car
riage. to the touring car. The time
is not distant when every community
having good roads will find motor
trucks doing the hauling for all class
es of people. It is quite certain that
wherever good roads exist, the manu
facturer and the’ merchant will use
the motor truck in place of the horse
drawn vehicle: but more than this, in
dividuals or companies will be organ
ized to do communtv hauling with the
motor truck. When good roads ex-
tend from the cities out into the coun
try districts forty or fifty miles or
more, motor truck companies will do
the hauling from the farms to the cit
ies and from the cities back to the
farms of much of the stuff that is now
hauled by wagons, and likewise, much
that is hauled by arilroads. The pos
sibilities of the motor truck in this
connection are almost limitless, and
the development of these possibilities
will add immensely to the prosperity
of every section where good roads ex
ist. The South needs to appreciate
■ this situation very quickly if it would
lessen the cost of all hauling and the
reduction of expenses of getting cot-
I ton and other products from the farm
: to the cities and of carrying merchan
i disp from the cities to the country.

On account of an oversight of the
reporter w’e have been absent for two
weeks, but we hope this will not oc
cur again for we want the people in
town to know- of the good work the
high school is doing. The students,
and also the teachers, are trying to
make this term the best in its his
tory.
The quarterly extminations begin
Monday, November 6th. We are all
hopeing for good marks for this will
help to determine what we shall be
able to do for the rest of the term.
Pictures were made last week of
the different grades and also the bas
ket ball teams. Some were very good,
but each thinks, secretly, that he is
better looking than the picture.
Dr. Jackson will give us a lecture
on “The Care of the Teeth” Wednes
day morning at 10:30. We are look
ing forward to this, and know it will
be instructive as well as interesting.
The meeting of the sewing club was
postponed last Friday, but it is hoped
that all the members will be present
next Friday to begin work again in
earnest, because those Christmas
presents must not be neglected.
The high school as a whole has been
very much grieved over the continued
illness of Mrs. Frank Shumate. Her
helpful spirit has been missed in the
school this year for perhaps no other
has done so much for the school as
she.

Strong Evidence.
A clergyman happened to tHI his
sop one Saturday night what lesson
he would read in church the next
morning. The boy got hold of his
father’s Bible, found the lesson’s
place and glued together the con
necting pages. Tn consequence the
clergyman read to bis flock the follow
ing day that Noah was 120
years old he took upon himself a wife,
who was”—here he turned the page—
“l4o cubits long. 40 cubits wide,
built of gopher wood and covered with
pitch in and out.”
j After reading the passage the cler
gyman read it again to verify it. Then
pushing back his spectacles he looked
gravely at the congregation and said:
“My friends, this is the first time
I ever read that in the Bible, but I
accept it as evidence of the assertion
that we are fearfully and wonderfully
made. ’ '—Everybody’s Weekly.
