Editor Marietta Journal;
Enclosed find my second quarter
ly dues for your very interesting
and well regulated County paper.
You are proving to be chip off
the old block
About 1877, DR.. Carter moved
from Atlanta down to DeKalb coun-
ty. We soon realized a New Era
had dawned. His best stock in
trade was two live boys, Josiah A,
and Frank-both born with boots
on and spurs to match. Without in
vesting the sum of paltry dollar,
they with their push and deter
small sheet, THE DEKALB NEWS
GRIT would have been more APP
propriate for it's name
So close to the great city of At
lanta that up to that time had kept
bottled up all the nearby counties
with her great dailies and weeklies,
but with their push and perserver-
ance, they made it possible for Cal
lahan and Hall to lean back in thei"
rocking chair and say we ave the
New Era So far all right-but lis
ten, the book l read when l was
twelve years old living up in Cobb
County, on the notorious Powder
Springs road, said BENZ, Franklin,
after walking the streets of Phila-
delphia with a loaf of bread under
his arm, established the Saturday
Evening Post-without spending
the sum of a paltry dollar-see.
To sum up short and quick. l
want to say to each and every boy
now living in my dear old county of
Cobb, home of my youth, GRIT
will brace you up when money
might leave or deceive you.

say-I look forward for the day the
Marietta Journal is due, as l did at
one time look for letter from some
of the gritty girls that Cobb county
always has and will produce.

COL. TAYLOR AND HIS OFFICERS
9th U. S. CAVALRY


The gallant 9Th is leaving,
And you're mighty glad, | know,
That the tour is finished,
But | hate to see you go.
Yet full often you'll remember,
When the Texas sun is high,
The breeze that sweeps the Heffling
house
In shady old Pasay
And when you're making a patrol
Along the Rio Grande,
| hope you'll find as cool a place
Located close and handy
And Charlie Baswell won't forget
The favors he has been shown
By the Colonel and his officers
Till the last taps have been
blown
wish some one would drop line
While stationed on the border,
And tell me if the floor-boys there
Are quick and serve your or der
SO "addios" you good Sth Horse,
Who travel duty's track,
You'll always find a welcome here
Should fortune send you back.

Permanent Relief for
CliJO1ic Constipation
KNOWLEDGE, AND PRACTICE OF
4 CORRECT DAILY HABIT THE
GREATEST ESSENTIAL

Constipation Is a condition affect
ing all classes Of all people and can
be permanently relieved only by &C.
quirtng habits Of regularity.
The most natural time for the elmin-
alive process is In the morning when
both the muscular and nervous sys-
tens are relaxed by sleep and rest.
When relief does not come readily.
it. is an excellent plan to take a mild
laxative at bedtime. Cathartics and
purgatives, that by the violence Of
their quick action shock and disturb
the system, should not be employed.
An effective laxative remedy that is
very dependable, and which does not
grippe or otherwise disturb the organs
involved, is found in combination
of simple laxative herbs known as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that can be
bought at the drug store for fifty cents
a bottle.
Mrs. G. c. Allen, 215 Foam ST., New

4 pAeE wIrH a BUNCH

To drive home truth without
preaching, to nail down fact with.
out teaching, is to have achieved
something worth while. The preach
ment that isn't "preachy," the lesson
that isn't .'teachy," are the kind that
reach the destination for which they
were prepared. When a sermon or a
lesson is made so interesting that the
person Indifferent to learning delights
in 1t and seeks for more Of the same,
then it is certain that results are
going to be attained. All Of which is
true Of Herbert Kaufman, the most
forceful editorial writer Of America
who prepares a page every week for
the Sunday Gazette Times This page
is notable addition to the many
splendid features that distinguished
the great Pittsburgh newspaper. 1t
affords new hope to parents, for
though It can be conveyed to sons
and daughters not keen for progress,
stimulation and inspiration that make
for advancement in education and in
dustry. We shall see great results
from the Herbert Kaufman page In
the Sunday Gazette Times, for it Is
delightful reading.

Miss Nielsen was to have sung here

scheduled, but could not appear on the
program. Instead, Mr.. Karl Kirk

gram. Both Of these musicians will

CHINAMAN FINED
Gin Gee Of Portsmouth, Is Assessed
sss and Costs Before Judge Whit.
aker Yesterday Afternoon for
Breach Of Peace.

Something novel in the way OF a
Chlnaman being tried in the local
courts, was had yesterday when Gin
Gee Of Portsmouth, Ohio, was tried
before Judge Whitaker on charge OF
breach Of the peace.
In the testimony II was brought out
that Gin Gee, together with another
Chinaman, was walking down the
street Sunday morning when he passed
the home of two young ladies who live
below the cotton factory. The young
ladies had Just arisen from their
nights sleep. One of them was seated
near the window and noticing the
Chinaman pass called to her cousin,
asking II they were not of that race
Her cousin replied that she thought
that they were. In few moments the
door of the room was opened and the
Ariental entered the room and seized
one of the young ladies by the hand,
the other girl fed from the room and
ran into bed room in the rear. Her
cousin broke loose from the man and
joined her. One of the girls told her
mother, who in turn told her husband.
The two men were ordered from the
house. Several times during the re-
mainder of the day the Chinaman pass
ed the house and each time he looked
as if he would like to enter again.
About 10 o'clock at the request of the
young ladies ne was arrested by Of
ficer Throckmorton. When arrested
by the officer he attempted to bride
him, but this availed nothing.

COMBINED SERVICES A SUCCESS

The new plan of services started in
the Christian Church Sunday morning
seem to be a success. BY this method
OF combining the Sunday School and
the Church services, all the members
OF the School are given the benefit Of
both services. The communion SER
vice which is always given promi-
nent place in the services of this
church, is made the devotional part of
the combined service, and the teaching
of the lesson in this connection makes
the Bible School Church-school as 1t
should properly be. There were some
few who not knowing Of the change in
the time of the church services came
in at the close of the sermon, to these
the announcement was again made
that the time of the church services
was from ten to eleven o'clock. This
new arrangement of time will last
through this month of September and
longer if the plan continues to meet
with favor.

President Is Determined

Although on the surface a nation
wide railroad strike was nearer to-
night than II had ever been, con-
fidence was expressed in official quar-
tiers that the step under contemplation
would have the effect of preventing a
walkout. The President realizing the
disaster which would come to the
country IL the railroads are tied up,
was said to be determined to prevent
a strike at any cost In his confer
ences with the executives he strongly
urged that they change their hitherto
unylelding attitude and when he saw
the employees he declared that all sug.
gestiOns from the executives should
be given most careful consideration.
Final arrangements for the appear
anoe OF the President before Congress
were not completed tonight. but he
discussed the question fully with the
Democratic steering committee of tho
Senate and they agreed with him that
he should address Joint session. The
time OF his appearance depends largely
upon further conferences tomcFyow
