all spoke highly of the performance
frn,,, Tho 70 RI tho

ali spoke MSnly OF the performance
from the start to the finish.
I'm fact the Sells Floto show was one
the most enjoyable exhibitions Of mod
ern times. The acts could not have
been improved upon as far as novelty
was concerned in the acrobatic line, the
clowns were up to the average and in
troduced some new features, the aerial
artists were the best that have been
seen here, the horsemanship was par
excellence.
"One pleasing feature of the Sells
Floto show is the fact that the pro-
prietor, II. H. Tammen, will not permit
any Internationally conduct on the part
of any of the attaches. The vendors of
peanuts, etc, piled their trade in Il
manner that no person could object to.
The usual cry of Hear yer are young
fellow, buy Il bag Of peanuts and show
yer girl yer good fellow an she'll love
yer all the more" was conspicuous by
it's absence and everyone was very
THANKFUL.
"a spirit Of refinement prevailed
throughout. This spirit spread through
the city with the consequence that there
was not Il single arrest made. Hereto
fore the Jail has been crowded the morn
ing after Il circus and that this was not
the case this morning is due to the fact
that the Sells-Eloto show is Il clean, gen
teel performance"
The Santa Barbara Press says:
THE Sclls-F loto circus, which showed
here yesterday, was one of the best ever
seen in this city.
THE performance given was first
class in every respect, number of new
specialties being introduced.
Since visiting this city year ago
the circus has greaaly enlarged and i'm
proved i'll every way, and now possesses
Il fine menagerie and Il number of re-
markably well trained animals, which
did some very clever tricks. The show
is splendidy equipped with trappings
and beautiful costumes, and presented
fine appearance on parade. The
pagcantry attracted large numbers who
lined tie streets.
"A record breaking audience attended
in the afternoon and an almost equal
number witnessed the performance in
the evening

THE RESPONSIBILITY

There came over the wires the other
day the startling information that there
arc 1857 idle freight cars in the
country, the largest number ever stand
ing empty in the history of the United
States. Still more astounding was the
information that $3.50, 200, GOO worth of
railroad property alone is not now pro
ducing penny's income.
Terrible to think of it, isn't it?
Never before in the history of repub-
lican misrule has the country suffered
business depression to equal this. Never
since the signing of the Declaration of
Independence have the country's i'll
dustries been paralyzed us they are
today.
Rain has failed, and crops have been
ruined. War has come and the dark
shadow of famine has lowered over the
land, but never, in all of the trials
which the United States has expert
enced has there been so :nr1ch idle
wealth-producing machinery, muscle
and brain as there is at this moment.
Have the crops failed? They have
not. Last winter grain grew rusty in
the bins. Last fall fruit rottcd in the
orchard and the produce of the land
wasted III garden and field There was
plenty everywhere. Nature had been
kind and this was verify land of
peace and prosperity.
MI vat tln nonif. ,n,n, Vat &l,o
wheels stopped. Yet, the freight cars
stood on the sidetracliS while fruit and
grain and produce rottcd hard by. Yet,
men went hungry. Yet, distrust, idle
ness, and staSnation and want came
upon us, and with us still their black
presence abides
Nature was bOuntiful and capital and
labor were taking full advantage of the
opportunities.
Where, then. lay the fault? Whose
WAS the hand that stretched forth to
stop the wheels of industry, babe
capital flee and labor go hungry i'm the
midst of plenty?
The answer is plain. Whatever
doubts there may have been as to the
responsibility have long ago been
resolved
Look to the White House where the
Rough Rider trains his parrot like
Sycophants to cry "RoOscvelt is a god
Look to the wielder of the big stick, y"
whose exaggerated cgOtism and wild
lust of power have made him vertically
IL mailman. There lies the responsibility
for the empty cars, the silent factories,
the hidden gold and hungry men,
there is responsibility for the ruin that
has been wrought.
The big stick" has been more potent
FOR evil than wars or the rumors of
wars; the ROoseveltian cry for power a
greater injury to the country than fire
and flood and famine.
Not upon NATURE nor upon provi-
denco, can Theodore Roosevelt and tn G
republican, party lay, the responsibility
for this panic It is their panic, they
have made It .antl for it they must
answer when, in November, the millions
of democratic voters go forth to elect a
democratic president X. G. Post.

MR.. w. S. BROWN SHOOTS HIMSELF.

Mr.. W. S. Brown, a marble and gran
lite cutter, in the employ of the McNeel
Marble Co., committed suicide at his
home on Winters street, about 6 80
o'clock on last Thursday morning, by
shooting himself. in the right temple
with a pistol, which produced instant
death.
1t seems that Mr.. Brown was in a de-
spondent mood, owing to the financial
panic that affected wages and condi-
tions, as well as to some little family
disagreements.
The morning of the tragedy, he got
his dinner box and started to work. In
few minutes he returned, kissed his
little three-year old girl, gave her
some money, and then stepped to the
mantle-piece, picked up a 32-calibre
pistol, placed the muzzle co his right
temple and pulled the trigger, sending
ball crashing through his brains.
His wife was in the room at the time
tying up her finger, which she had cut
that morning. and she turned quickly
at the sharp report of the pistol, and
saw her husband fall dead.
Mr. Brown leaves widow, who was
formerly Miss Cannon, and one little
girl, three years old.
Mr., Brown was about thirty years of
age, was al Industrious, well. disposed
and clever citizen. He was a member
OF Marble City Lodge of Odd Fellows,
OF Marietta, and was buried with the
honors of that Order at Maloney
Springs,

WHAT SENATOR CLAY ADVISES.

A strong statement advising the pur-
chase of homemade goods has been
made by Senator Clay in letter writ
ten to an Atlanta manufacturer. Sem
stor Clay says:
81 have often been mortified to see
our people go away from home and buy
foreign goods when the same class OF
goods could be purchased at home,
probably much cheaper. II we wish to
build up the South, we must patronize
our home industries. We ought to or
ganize life insurance companies in the
South and keep the premiums paid on
such policies at home, with our own
people. We ought to manufacture two
thirds of our cotton crop, give employ
ment to our surplus labor, and cease to
go abroad to buy what we need to wear
The South has magnificent climate
We can work twelve months in the
year. We are adapted not only to agri-
culture but especially to manufac.
turing, and the South ought to become
a great manufacturing section. We
ought to sell abroad instead of going
into foreign markets to buy what we
eat and wear. We ought to give every
possible encouragement to our home
industries. In this way, we will in
crease population; we will give en-
ployment to labor, and we will become
the most thrifty and prosperous section
of the entire country. 1t is amazing
sometimes, to see how Indifferent our
people are in regard to home industries.
We ought never to go abroad to buy
anything. We can produce any thing
we need to eat, and can manufacture
anythinge we need to wear. Such ac-
ton will surely have most telling eff
feet"

THE AGRICULTURAL TRAIN.

The Educational train of the Georgis
State College of Agriculture was in
Marietta Tuesday morning. Prof. A
M. Soule, Dean OF the Agriculture
School at the University of Georgia
was in charge of the train.
Mayor E. P. Dobbs, accompanied by q
large reception committee, met the

Hoke Smith, who made most excel
lent speech on Agricultural and Scien-
tific Education. He told the people to
stand by their District school, which is
located in Cobb county, and it would
prove great benefit.
State School Commissioner Pound
also made a superb address.
Professor Soule had charge of the ex-
hibition car. His address in the car
was a very fine one. Although the
train came early in the morning. 800
citizens were on hand and gave the ed
ucators warm reception. A large
number of farmers were present, and
seemed to take deep interest in the
addresses and the exhibits in the car.
Superintendent w. T. Dumas, of our
city public schools, had the pupils of
the High School present to hear the ad-
dresses and see the exhibits.
The cordial greeting shown the Gov
ernor and those in charge of the train
was enthusiastic.
The Educational Train, which is 60
ing all over Georgia, was gotten up by
Professor A. NJ. Soule and other men,
bers of the faculty o fthe University of
Georgia, in order to enlighten the peo-
pie on scientific farming.
A great many prominent educators
are along with the train, and at every
city in the State they have been greeted
by large crowds.
The train left Marietta over the L. &
n. railway, stopping at all the principal
towns on the L. & N.
