French Agitation coo1ing oR.

PARIS, July 30.-The agitation in connection with the circular issued by Premier Combes with regard to the closing of the unauthorized congrega- tionist schools has considerably abated, even in Brittany, owing to the cir cumstance that none of the recalcitrant schools will be forcibly closed until special decrees to this end have beer signed for each department. In many departments such action will not be necessary, as the congregations have submitted, and, moreover, the decision of the government not to close those schools for which authorization was aot asked owing to misinterpretatioI # the law has had something of s auieting effect.

French Naval omeers Relieve,


 PARIS, July 3o.-TWo distinguished naval officers, Vice Admiral De Beau mont. maritime prefect of Toulon, and Rear Admiral Servan, command ing the Atlantic division, have been summarily relieved of their commands by order of President Loubet. Rear Admiral Servants downfall is attrib- uted to sensational developments which led up to the recent suicide of Commander Barry, who shot himself in the cabin of the cruiser Tage while off Martinique. Rear Admiral Seryan was aboard the Tage at the time. De Beaumont's discipline is said to be due to a recently published lbut denied) interview, severely criticising the min ister of marine, PeIletan.

TRIUMPH OF GOOD.

DEAR JoURNAL.-Surely a suhburst
OF light, of intelligence, better, happier
ideas, more practical and fraternal
than this warning world in its wild
merciless hates, ambitions and fierce
debates has yet experienced, is, even
now rising like the god of day upon the
world. Is it not next to impossible
for the bad, ruinous of ways of the
past ages, to hold control over the
hearts and actions of thinking, Christ
ian people? The true interpretations
of the Book of Books, aided by Chau-
tauqua lecturers men of morals, men
of science, men of goodwill to man,
enforced by millions of women of soul,
mind and heart, may bring to our race,
better way to live and die.

FORGIVE-FORGET.

Brother, let's be friends I'Letnot the sun
Go down upon thy wrath.
And let the evil thou hast done
Him that crossed thy path
Be atoned for not with idle tears
That thou must shed in after years.
Brother, let's be friends For time is
short
And soon the yawning tomb
Will hide the scars thy hand has
wrought.
Give if you can, joy-not gloom.
Forgive me, brother, try to forget
Those grievous words now regret.
Brother, let's be friends Forgive-forget
And may our blended tears
Erase the past and let
Our few, brief, sorrow laden years
Be spent in peace-bllssful peace
Till death shall give US both release.

col. r. T. NESBITT.

The report circulated by the Dahlon-
ega Signal that Col. r. I. Nesbitt
would not carry his own county, COBB,
is far from the facts. If what we
gather is true, Col. Nesbitt will carry
the county by a very large majority
Why shouldn t he do so? Why shouldn't
his home people and neighbors give
him their support? He is an upright,
christian gentleman, courteous, is
highly educated and worthy OF the pc.
sition to which he aspires. Having
filled public offices, it is natural that
he should have made some enemies
What man hasn't made enemies?
What lawyer, preacher, doctor, edi-
tor, farmer or merchant but what
has made enemies in some way? This
is unavoidable, and Col. Nesbitt ex-
pected to find enemies fighting him,
but he has friends, too, who will stand
by him and give him such safe major
ity in Cobb county as will be worthy Of
appreciation. Cobb county should not
go back on this worthy son, and will
not. Col. Nesbitt, if elected, will fill
the Office of Agricultural Commissioner
wisely and well and to the best inter-
ests of the people.
For the Signal to misrepresent the
situation in Cobb is not right.

WE MUST HAVE 1T.

The Seaboard Air Line Railroad has
been granted the right to enter Biz
mingham, Ala, and to acquire termi-
minal facilities as well as to extend it's
line to Ensley and Bessimer. Having
acquired the East & West Railroad,
they will build from Atlanta to Austell
and connect at Rockmart. Our Mari
eta people ought not to let the oppor-
tunity slip by to induce them to come
through Marietta. The old Polk and
Slate Quarry road is partially graded
and could be utilized.
With this object in view, the Board
OF Trade was called together in the
council chamber on last Monday after
noon, Capt. r. w. Boone, president,
presiding, and D. F. McClatchey, Jr.,
secretary, officiating. After discussion
showing that the survey of the road
from Atlanta to Rockmart would prob
ably miss Marietta about four miles, it
was moved that committee of five be
| appointed to hire competent man to
get up information and data as to the
amount of freight shipped and received
in Marietta by various factories and
business houses as an inducement to
have the Seaboard Air Line come to
Marietta, This committee to visit
President Williams in Atlanta or Rich
mond and place this information before
him. The committee is composed of
Messrs. j. T. Anderson, 7. M. Brumby,
Joe ?. Legg, A. M. Dobbs and M M
Sessions.
Another matter was brought before
the board of the discrepancy of weights
and committee of three was appointed
to petition the road to pnt in scales
here, as the law requires. This com
mittee is composed of Messrs. J. L.
Brumby, Morgan L. Mcneil and r. H.
Northcutt.
The board will hereafter have month
~ meetings and due publication will
be made of the same.

DON'T HESITATE.

1t is noticeable fact that many
items are lost to newspapers every
week by the modesty of the people who
hesitate to tell the reporter matters
concerning yourself, The right thing
to do is to stop newspaper man on the
street or any other place you may hap
pen to meet him and tell him that you
have been on a visit, have relatives
visiting you, that your wife entertain
ed company, or anything that is in any
way a matter of news. If you have
done anything mean, of course keep
that to yourself, for there are always
others to tell that,

both political parties in this country
will unite In such an expression. We
do not want the matter made party

Newfoundland Government Not to Re.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Daily Express
today will publish cablegram from one
OF the highest officials Of the Newfound-
land cabinet, as follows:
st. Johns, N. F., Jan. This govern
ment has not considered the renewal of
the modus vivendi and hopes there will
be no occasion to consider the re-enact-
ment Of a measure SO detrimental to the
interests of the empire and the colony.
The government has not received
ment as to what has been done regard
ing the negotiations with France since
the Newfoundland delegation left Lon
don last May. All the colony's repre-
sentations to the colonial Office have
been unanswered, and no reply has been
re:eiyed regarding the imperial govern
ment's desire respecting discussion of
that question between Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier and Sir Robert Bond (respectively
premiers of Canada and Newfoundland),
has been fully complied with, and the
result has been reported to the colonial
Office. The successful management of
the colony's affairs by the present ad-
ministration is manifested by financial
condition unparalleled in its history. We
only require justice at the hands of the
imperial government in the removal of
the restrictions as to the treaty shore
ard trade relations with America, to as
sure us position of permanent pros
rerity.
