throughout the country. 1t will make
men fraternize and forgiving, living in
peace and plenty, enjoying the bless

of labor of love and good will Ma

POLITICS..

Politics has been the ruin of thou
sands of young men in the South. Not
that they have not lived honest lives,
but that they have nothing to show at
the end for their own benefit or for
that of their friends and neighbors.
Politics has been the bane of that Sec
ton in diverting valuable energy into
useless, though expensive, channels.
There will always be plenty of men
ready and willing to go to Congress cor
to hold other office. Unfortunately. it
is necessary to have few officeholders
But the country boy or the city boy of
ambition should eschew politics and
turn his thoughts and his exertions in
to industrial fields of the farm and the
factory, where he may become an aid
to his fellows, instead of a drag upon
them.

WHAT WE SAID.

Editors OF the Marietta Journal As
you stated in recent issue 1T was
fairly demonstrated during the Chau-
tauqua that we need another hotel. 1t
was hard matter to place a heap of
people at private houses, would state
that during this time there have been
from II to II rooms and beds unoccu-
pied each day, and no one has been re-
fused or turned away. AS you have ev-
identity been misinformed and the
above statement may tend to injure
the hotel as well as the town, hope
you will make the proper correction.
THE PROPRIETOR.
The JOURNAL said nothing about peo-
Pile not being accommodated at the
hotel, but said cit was hard matter to
place heap of people at private
houses" This information we received
from reliable source: That boarding
house keepers had to rent rooms from
their neighbors to accommodate those
who applied to them" The hotel, we
presume, has ample accommodations
to accommodate all who apply to it.,
and Marietta is very glad. indeed, to
have such an excellent hotel, so nicely
kept.
But from reading the above card, it
is evidently the purpose of the esteemed
proprietor to try to convince the pub
lie that his hotel was not well patron
lied and had vacant rooms, and there
fore no new hotel is needed while the
only inference that could be intelli-
gently deduced from our remarks is
that the hotel had an overflow of pat
ronage and therefore another hotel is
needed We don't think it is calcu-
lated to ,njure the hotel, private board
ing houses or the town for us to say or
infer that they had an overflow of pat
ronage.
On, yes Marietta had vast number
OF visitors during the Chautauqua
week and we are glad of it, and hope
they will continue to come each year,
and make it necessary to build another
hotel and other boarding houses to ac-
commodate them. The more people,
the more patronage.
The JOURNAL is here to build up, and
not to injure any one or their business.
The Kennesaw hotel has nothing but
our very best wishes for an overflow of
patronage and continued success.

WILL PAY.

The Harmony Grove Cotton Mills
will double its capacity at an early
date. Details cannot be obtained but
the addition is certainty. This means
employment for 100 more hands, and
the consumption of five thousand bales
of cotton. 1t will consume one-third
of the cotton marketed at this place.
1t will cause our producers to get a
little better price for their cotton.
This in turn will help the merchant and
every one else.-Harmony Grove Citi-
zen
Exactly That is what it will do. If
cotton mill is not a good thing for a
town, why does the Harmony Grove
Mills double their capacity? Such ac-
tion shows it is a good investment, or
more money would not be put into it..
Well, if cotton mill is a good thing
for Harmony Grove, it would be good
thing for Marietta. We know some
people do not like for us to advocate
additional enterprises for Marietta
They don't want the town to grow
The town is big enough for them and
their little business. But there are
others here who do want to see Marietta
double in every enterprise. The
JOURNAL has a mission to perform, has
convictions on these lines, and will adj
vocate such beliefs regardless of conse-
quences.

REAL PLEASURE.

1t is real pleasure to meet man
who has sunny disposition, and his
pleasant good morning and smile some
what lifts the burdens of the trials of
life that is before you for the day. You
remember that smile and pleasant voice
All day. Neither do you forget that
man, and he is numerous, who responds
to your salutations with grunt that is
equal to big hog. He doesn't speak,
he merely grunts. Life is burden to
such man and he often wonders what
he is here for, and SO do other people
for that matter. We often wonder il
there is any tears shed for such men as
this. But the sunny mans praises are
sung by all who know him, and his
grave is watered by the tears of those
who loved and respected him. 1t is a
pity that so few of these men live, for
they not only make life, but brighten
the lives of others by their smiles and
cheering words.

AS to Armament.

l, 300 tons.
AS to Armament.
The main armor will be 4 inches in
thickness all around, as will also the
upper and lower casemate armor. Two
and half inches of steel plate will en-
case their protective decks The mail
decks of the cruiser will be supple
mented amidships with covered super
structures, within each of which will
be located four 6-inch rapid-f fire guns
and six 4-pounders of the same type:
outside the superstructures will be two
more 6-inch guns located on the center
line, one forward and one aft On the
gun decks the greater batteries will be
located of eight 6-inch, 10 l4-pounders
and four 1-pound rapid-fir guns. Six
teen rapid-fire guns are to be placed on
the superstructure. The remainder of
the batteries will be located in the fight
ing tops of the military masts.
Electric ammunition hoists will sup
ply the guns with the greatest rapidity,
making it possible to hurl about an
enemy broadside of about IL tons of
solid metal minute.
The vessels each will have four lofty
smokestacks rs inches above the load
water line, providing draft for the Is
straight water tube boilers situated in
watertight compartments. These boil
ers, together with the engines, will be
protected by the side armor, sloping
deck armOr, and 12-inch armor for the
coal bunkers. The inner bottom of the
interior will extend TO the under sides
of the protective decks, above which q
cellulose cotferdam 80 inches wide ex-
tends the length of the cruisers
All the latest and best improvements
in construction and equipment are to be
provided for the accommodation and
comfort of the officers and crew. In
commission the number of officers will
be 80 and the crew will number 525
men, for which are to be provided 1G
boats, ranging from 36 foot steam cut
ter to a 16.foot dingy, besides two punts
and two life rafts.
What They Will Cost.
1t has been believed in some quarters
that the three cruisers could not be built
within the limit of cost named by con-
gress. However, a calculation based on
the price to be paid for the unsheathed
armored cruisers will tend to disprove
this theory.
The average cost of the three un-
sheathed armored cruisers of 13, 400 tons
trial displacement and % knots speed is
to be So, 768. 333 each, or $751; % per ton.
At this rate a cruiser of 9,70O tons dis
placement would cost So, ,727, 1874, or
$72, 166 less than the amount appropria-
ted, namely So, 5000 AS about $780,
600 will be required for armor out of
the sum appropriated, it will be neces-
sary to eliminate certain items from the
specifications, as in the sheathed battle
ships. The Cramps contract price for
the Maine, an 18 knot battIeship, of
IL, 500 trial displacement, was s., ,085, 900,
or $238 per ton.

FIGHTING SHIPS
FOR OUR NEW NAVY
Bids Opened For Building
Three Protected Cruisers.
FORMIDABLE WAR SHIPS

Designed to Cope With Anything of
Their Glass In the WorId-To Hurl
Broadsides of Twelve Tons of Steel
a Minute.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l.. Bids were
opened at the navy department today
for the construction of three protected
cruisers, destined to be as formidable
vessels as any in the world Of their
class. They will resemble closely the
type Of second class armored cruisers.
and might easily be mistaken for such.
The act of congress authorizing this
class of cruisers states that the vessels
should carry "the most powerful ord
nance for vessels of their type and have
the highest speed combatible with good
cruising qualities and great radius of
action" Admiral Hichborn chief con-
structor of the navy, who has been fore
most in the preparation of plans for the
building of ''the new navy" says that
i'll an engagement the new cruisers
would be able to cope with and prove
more than a match for some of the
armored cruisers of foreign navies.
The new vessels are to be named the
st. Louis, Milwaukee and Charleston,
the last to continue the name of the
ship wrecked Nov. 2, 1899, in the Phil
ippines. Their trial displacement will
be about 800 tons each, and they will
be equipped with 8, 600 horse power twin
screw engines, and VIII have a speed of
% knots. The vessels will be 424 feet in
length and 66 feet i'll extreme breadth
Their bunkers will have a capacity of
!, 800 tons
