Advertising undoubtedly takes
away the business from those who do
not advertise and gives it to those
who do, and those who have suc

have been those who have been the
nTost persistent advertisers in season

Bays Valdosta Times: ‘ ‘The papers
of the state has been all one way in
advocating the establishment of a
textile school in Georgia. The move
ment is a good one. In educational
matters too much attention is being
paid to the higher branches and not
enough to practical, every day prob
lems. ’ ’
Editor Stead, of the Review of Re
views, England’s most noted editor,
who spent some time in New York
during the last campaign, says: “To
most of us in the old country your plu
tcorats seem a much greater menace
to the commonwealth than are the
democrats, even if they do swear by
Croker and Tammany Hall. The
republican campaign fund staggered
us more than the election of Van
Wyck.”
20 Gents vs. S2O Per Day.
Great interest is being manifested,
in the opening of two immense hotels
in New York last week. |
One was the Mills hotel No. 1 where
a bed and a bath may be had for
twenty cents a night; the other was
the Astoria w-bereit cost (30 per day.
Let us look at the Astoria Cora
moment. It is an immense building
on Thirty-fourth street Fifth avenue,
and adjoins the celebrated Waldorf
Hotel, of which it is practically an
extension. It is fifteen stories bigb
i and covens one-half of a large city
. bioek. It is du the style of the Ger
man renaissance, of modern truss,
construction, faced with etone and
ornamental iron. It is a perfect hotel/
oombiningall possible conveniences,
' enormous dining balls, great reading
rooms, a magnificent ball room, a
theatre, a roof garden, which is a san
‘ itarium, with All the mineral waters
on draft, being a miniature spa, where
invalids can Baek restoration to health.
The Appointments are of extraordi
nary value, the attendance ot the
best. It is such* hotel, says the re
port, as will receive the patronage of
people who want the creature com
forts, served with all the elegancies,
and do not mind paying twenty to
thirty dollars a day for the same.
The Mills hotel No. 1 is a ten story
structure, also built ot iron and steel
and stone—an architectural triumph.
It contains its handsome office, its
long marble eorriders, its dining halls,
and a large covered court in the cen
ter. There are reading rooms, smok
ing rooms, lavratories, and baths,
which are free to the patrons, and
the whole place is brilliantly lighted,
well heated and ventilated. The
guests are served the same as guests
of any of the first-class hotels, have
rooms apart, ample attendance, and
many comforts which they would
hardly expect to get even in some of
the pretentious fashionable hotels.
And all for twenty cents a night! The
food is extra of course, but regard for
a minute the bill of fare, and say
whether anything more reasonable
could be asked for;

The Mi.ls No. lis not a charity.
The proprietor has figured it out that
when the place is fully occupied—and
there is room for fifteen hundred
souls—the investment will pay him a
satisfactory dividend. The object to
give respectable young men a decent
living place while making their way
in the world, and save them from the
temptations and associates which are
incident to cheap boarding houses in
a great city.
Only men can stop at the hotel, and
they must be out of their rooms oy 9
a. m., and in’bed by 11 p. m., except
where special arrangements are
made.
There is certainly a great contrast
in these two hotels but it seems to
us that the poorer class get the most
benefits, and are the most to be con
gratulated.
The War on Football,
In other southern states there is
considerable interest on the football
situation in Georgia. These papers
papers elsewhere are, perhaps, able to
judge the matter more dispassionately
than those whose feelings are wrought
up. They all condemn the game.
The Columbia, S. C., Register points
and thus comments on Mrs. Gam
mon’s letter:
This is a remarkable letter. Os all
people, Mrs. Gammon would naturally
be supposed to be the one most thor
oughly opposed to the perpetuation
of the game, since one so dear to her
had met with death while engaged
in the play.
Instead of asking its abolition, she
pleads for its continuance, because of
her son’s interest in all manly sports
and because it would be sad to her
to have the cause he held so dear in
jured by hie sacrifice. This, from
the mother of the victim of the game,
is being used by the advocates of
football as an evidence that the peo
ple at large had worked themselves up
to an unnecessary state of indignation
over the death of the young man; tbat
it was an accident which is liable to
occur at Any time in almost any sport,
and if those nearest and dearest to
ttie deceased felt no aversion to the
game, there is no reason why others
should.
Nevertheless the war against the
game in Georgia is being pushed with
untiring vigor
THE WOMB TBIBCJMBi WBDMBDAY, NOVEMBIB 10, 1807.
The Blalock Report.
Editor Stovall, of the Savannah
Press, doee not think there ds much ia
the Blatoek committee’s report. He
writes his parser as follows:
There was -scarcely a ripple created
■by the report of the Blafiock com
' aaittee. The paper read Hike the
feeble report ot the conviet commit
tee. The paper read like the feeble
report of the -convict committee.
Tbat body commenced witta a great
fieurish, animated by a great reform.
Testimony was taken and -commie
i sianers sent out ever the state to col
lect evidence which should shock
the people and shake the foundations
«f tfoe-state institutions. Thefclalock
committee recommends that the salary
of the railroad commissioners be re
duced 4500 a year and said something
about Dr. Boggs getting a salary for
looking after the colored college in
Savannah. The penitentiary com
mittee recommends $(feO.OOO for build
ing a stockade in Milledgeville. Other
wise things in the statehouse and in
the camps are to be allowed to go I
right along, it is a great deal easier'
to talk reform than to bring it about.
The result is disappointing to those
who expected a sensation at the ex
pense of the state, but shows that the
committees and the general assembly
are in the main conservative.
Postal Bank Needed,
At a recent meeting of the Indiana
Bankers’ association at Indianapolis
Mortimer Levering, of Lafayette, recog
nized as one of the best financiers in
Indiana, made an address on postal sav
ings banks in which he said; “The
government is in a position to manage
this thing through its present postoffice
system, and will scarcely increase the
expenses of that department, while it
will enhance *the accumulated wealth of
the people throughout the whole United
States. It was thought that building
and loan associations would care for the
savings of the masses, but people have
become suspicious of them. It is well
known tbat lawyers in Indiana are
making as much as SIO,OOO a year out of
these institutions, and officers are mak
ing much money out of them. We all
know that trust companies ere not or
ganized as eleemosynary institutions.
We want a system of saving banks that
are for the poor people. What greater
pride could a man have than to think
himself a depositor of the United
States?’ ’
Bad Guessing, Or ?
The folly and absurdity of election
forecasts where never more fully shown
than they were in some of the claims
made by the various parties on the day
before the late New York city election.
On that day Chairman Quigg claimed
200,000 votes for Tracy. He received
just a trifle over half that number.
Low’s friends claimed for him a plu
rality of at least 15,000 He ran nearly
100,000 votes behind Van Wjck
George’s managers claimed that he
would receive a plurality over the next
highest candidate of 65.000. His entire
vote was about 20,000. Os course some
of these claims were bold bluffs, but it
seems that some of these estimates could
never have been made by sensible men.
The only one who appears to have
known what he was talking about was
Chairman Grant, who, predicted
that Van Wyck would receive 240,000.
His actual vote will miss it less than
two thousand. No doubt some of the
politicians were badly deceived as to
the conditions and probabilities, but it
seems strange that these old political
workers should have made themselves so
ridiculous.
Typographical Errors,
Major Hearsey, of the New Orleans
States, gives vent to bis fee lings, which
we can fully appreciate: “The editor of
a newspaper, with even a little experi
ence. soon becomes callous and encoun
ters a reasonable number of typographi
cal errors with equanimity. He will
even come tc see his sublimest flights of
fancy, eloquence and logic bungled un
til one oould not tell whether he was
writing an article on the tariff, or the
yellow fever, or an of a
cherished friend. He comes at last to
realize that it is folly to kick against
the pricks, and to regard typographic, 1
errors as be does too much pepper in his
soup, or too little salt in his salad— n
deed as among the inevitable ills of life.
But when printers and proof-readers,
and, perhaps, his own carelessness,
break the record, and disturb the mo
notony of daily errors, and his whole
paper from the title to the last word, is
jumpbled and tumbled and kicked and
licked out of all shape or semblance of
sense, be justs sets down and says
“damn it!”
Jewels of Thought,
Fidelity is seven tenths of business
success. —Parton.
It is an utterly low view of business
which regards it as only a means of
getting a living. A man’s business is
his part of the world’s work, hie share
of the great activites which render so
ciety possible We may like or dislike
it, but it is work, and as such requires
self-denial, applicatiqn, discipline.—Pall
Mall Gazette.
The great secret of success in life is
for a man to be ready when his oppor
tunity comes.—Disraeli.
Poverty is uncomfortable, as I can
testify, but nine times out of ten the
best thing that can happen to a young
man is to be tossed Overboard and com
pelled to sink or swim for himself. In
all my acquaintance I never knew a
man to be drowned who was worth the
saving—James A Garfield
There are four things tbat come not
back—the spoken word, the sped arrow,
the past life, and the neglected oppor
tunity. —Arabian.
The darkest day in any man’s cireer
is that when he fancies there is some
easier way of getting a dollar than by
squarely earning it.—Horance Greeley.
Opportunities fly in a straight line,
touch us but once and never return, but
the wrongs we do to others fly in a circle
come back to the place from which
they started. —T. DeWitt Talmage.
Never value anything as profitable to
thyself which shall compel thee to break
rhy promise, to lose thyself respect, to
hate any man. to suspect, to curse, to
act the hypocrite, to desire anything
that needs walls and curtains.—Marcus
Aurelius.
Not all Irish,
The Berlin Tageblatt makes this seri
ous but comical remark: “The victory
of Tammany is to be deplored, as it
places the undesirable element of the
Irish on top.” And the Chicago Chroni
cle retorts: “Irishl Lieber Gott! Was is
los mit Robert Van Wyck, Mayor; Ru
dolph Guggenheimer, president of the
municipal council; Wilhelm Sohmer,
county clerk; Wilhelm Wuest, county
treasurer, and Herman Sulzer, assem
blyman-not to mention Aidermen
Peter Siegelstein, Heinrich Geiger.
Wilhelm Wentz and Joseph Geiger?
Irish, indeed! Potztausend! donner
wetter! blut und eisen.
A writer in a northern periodical
has had experience. He says: “The
southern states may not be an El
Dorado nor ‘spring of perpetual
youth,’ yet there are three things a
settler can always depend upon:
“1. Not to freeze to death in winter.
“2. Not burn up in summer.
“3. Nor bog bread, winter nor sum
mer.
