In excavating the buried city of Hercu- Q.incuni, it ba* been discovered that the Roman* used posters for advertising. A I>iliar was un« arthed which v.as covered with bills, out on top of another. The j. iste used to stick them was made of gum ar be. J'.'i. bills, when separate 1 and examim i. were found to b- prog' u nis and announcements of public luectipgs, and even election proclamations. Po.'ier advertising is thus proved to be a “back number.” tn the-e .r is of progress, such an adver tising method is too slow. It was al. light .for tin •Remans, for it was the best tin y had. I*l in'.ing had no been invented. rhe modern newspaper covers entire cities ami states, while the bill poster is clicking up his old style announcements. 1;.-r, in M.eon The News covers the city and m vby tcwn.i far more thoroughly than any number of posters could. It goes into i.he homes of the people, and reaches tile people who buy. Only street loungers stop to read posters. People of affairs are too busy when on the streets. They read The News at leisure in their 'homes, ad its advertisement rereive due 'attention. Bryan has given $250 to the University of Georgia, the interest on which is to Ibe used to buy a medal to be given annually for the best essay on the science of gov ernment. Dark Outlook for Cotton. The press of the South is devoting much atention to the war situation as it will probably effect Southern planters, and the unanimous verdict is that food crops will prove tile most remunerative. But, notwithstanding all that has been raid, reports from vprtous sections indi cate. that t.he farmers are preparing to put their lands again in cultivation, evidently with no apprehension of the effect of war, since, from what can be learned, there will be no decrease oif cotton acreage as compared witli last year. Noticing this disposition on the part of (planters in the Memphis district, the Memphis Scimitar in a sensible editorial on the subject, says 'they seem determin ed to again aid in raising another 11,000,000 •bale crop, and if successful, values will seek a still lower level, and four cent cot hin will probably result. Jitot why this policy should he pursued is beyond the ken of’nian, says the Scim itar, hut it is probable that farmers in this section think their brethren of other states will reduce their acreage, and so thinking, will cultivate the same area as last year. But reports from every other section of the South are to the same effect regard ing cotton acreage, and when the figures are presented later in the season it will be seen that there has been no dedrease in acreage as compared with 1897-’9B, and another year of depressed value will nec essarily follow. In 1894-95 when the yield of cotton ap proximated 10,000.000 bales, the effect on prices was felt for the next twelve months, tand with this experience, what can be an ticipated with a crop of 11,000,000 bale* •that has just been marketed and acreage planted which, with favorable seasons, will produce a still larger yield? The farmers of the South would do well 'to remember that any trouble either 'at home or among other nations would have a depressing effect on cotton values, and with signs of war overshadowing the ■United Stales, and mutterings bf trouble <ln the far East regarding China, and also in Africa, it would seem ‘the part of wis dom to greatly reduce the production of the staple mstead of attempting to raise another bumper crop. The Rome Tribune repeats with empha sis. the statement that Judge Atkinson has the support of one Macon paper. Yes terday’s Tribune says: “As for the daily press its strength and influence is un doubtedly against Candler. All th? d.rly papers of Columbus. Brunswick, Savannah and Waycross are against Candler. At least one influential dally newspaper in Atlanta. Augusta, Macon, Griffin and Rome, is against Candler." Supplies in Treasury. The monthly cireulatiqn statement is sued by the Comptroller of the Currency shows that at the close of business Mon day. March 7th. the amount of national bank notes outstanding was $224,747,032, a decrease for February of $1,697,874. The amount off circulation based on United States bonds was $1,667,481. The circula tion secured by lawful money amounted to $33,690,214. The amount of United States registered bonds on deposit to secure cir culating notes was $213,414,650, and to se cure public deposits, $30,879,500. The comparative statement of the gov ernment receipts and expenditures, shows that the ♦ :al receipts during February femounfed to $28,572,358. and the expendi tureeß t-6.599.2.%, leaving a surplus of sl,- 973,103. For the month of February, 1897, there was a deficit of $4,395,059. The re ceipts from the several sources of revenue during last month are given as follows- Customs, *15,040,680; increase as compar ed with February. 1897, about $3,500,000; international revenue, $12,600,318; increase ‘about $400,000. Tlirtre was a decrease in the expenditures for February as compared with the same month last year of over $2,00,000. The amounts paid out by the government to secure bids and to pay first mortgages on Kansas Pacific Railroad. $900,000, and *7- 515.255, respectively, have been repaid to the treasury, and are deducted from this month’s expenditures. The surplus tor the eight months of the present fiscal year 5s shown to be *3.070,135. The National Association of Democratic Clubs, through its president, ex-Governor Chauncey F. Black, and Secretary Law rence Gardner, which has headquarters in Washington, has sent out a circular letter announcing rhe arrangements for the Jef ferson Day banquet, at which Hon. Wil liam J. Bryan and Senator Jones, chair man of the Rational Committee, will be the principal guests. How's this; and Palmar and Bill Bynum not there? Is It possible that Bryan is a real Democrat French View of Us. Most of the French journals have been commenting extensively on the American-Spanish crisis over the Maine disaster. They do not treat lightly the American loss, but doubt that Spain in her pride will pay indemnity. The Temps voices the French view rather interesting ly as follows: “Cuba is a royal morsel which tempts a people intoxicated by their strength and convinced that Monroism is the alpha and omega of international law. But it is still to be hoped that the conservative forces are so powerful that they will at the last moment stop the people and the govern ment on the threshold of an adventure which would not only be big with the greatest consequences from an interna tional point of view, but which might in duce at home a sort of revolution and tihe development of the most dreadful Caesar ism, that evil which gnaws the vitals of every democracy.” "There seems to be a diversity of opin ion as to who will be the next governor of Georgia,” says the Wadley Banner. The Banner has made a discovery. We were under the impression that there was no diversity of opinion. A Diplomatist Needed. Never before-in the history of the Amer ican nation has the lack of a great diplo matist and statesman at the head of the State Department been so severely felt. If the situation with regard to Spain were a simple one, it would not matter, but it does not require more than ordinary com mon sense to see that complications are certain to arise which will demand treat ment only to be had at the hands of a. thoroughly wise, trained, and brave for eign minister. When some future Gibbon writes the history of this country and chronicles the great events now trans piring, and sees the name of John Sher man recorded as secretary of state, he will wonder with amazement how an emi nent statesman of his fame could have made such a dismal failure. Poor Sher man. Happy Day. In reference to the vexed question of the proper pronunciation of the name of the author of Quo Vadis, and of the novel it self, the New York Sun very justly says; “As to Quo Vadis, the simple old-fashion ed pronuneiat'ion quo as in quorum, va as in evade, dis as in distinguished, is good enough for us. Many distinguished La tinists who are just beginning the Latin reader, w’ill haye a fit at . the notion of not saying Wahdees, or whatever the proper barbaric sound is supposed to be; and it is not in our hearts to rob any good boy or any revered instructor of his pre rogatives and enjoyments. Still it seems a little queer that if the ancient Italians joyously ichanged their v’s into w’s, the modern Italians haven’t a native w sound in their language.” EDITORIAL POEPOURI. “No matter hoiy skillfully a man plays the game of life, there is but one test of his ability—did he win? Hibson—How much did Daubre get for his Academy canvass? Garner —Don't, know. Three years would be about right.

When wearied by the pen she seeks relief in the concoction of soups, salads and sauces. She is also noted for her generous hospitality. “Riehard,” asked the teacher, “what w>as the message General Sln-ridnn sent to General Early before this battle took place?” “He said,” replied the big boy with the bad eye, “Go, Early, and avoid the rush.’ ” And merely for this she kept him in after school.

Lincoln’* Kindly Character. Mr. Grow related a story about Lin coln which illustrated two phases of the martyr president’s character. Mr. Grow, then speaker of tho house, had gone to the president to ask the appoint ment of a friend as a judge in one of the territories. The president made a note of the request. A few days later, when Mr. Grow called at the White House not about the judgeship, but upon another matter, Mr. Lincoln at once began to apologize. “Mr. Speak er,” said he, “I meant to appoint your friend to that judgeship, but a woman came in here with yine small children aud cue at the breast and pleaded the bread act and breaded me out of it. ’’ “While we were talking, however, Mr. Lincoln said that he would still at tend to my matter and started to put down my friend’s name. He went to his hat, which was filled with papers, and after remarking that he had a queer way of doing things began fumbling until he found a blank sheet. I told the presi dent that if his bat should blow off a lot of state secrets would be scattered, but be only smiled, wrote down the name and said that he nowkuew where to find it when the time to consider the matter came around.” Washington Post. His Request. “You have scarcely spoken to me at all this evening, ” sho said in tones of reproach. “I— ’ beg your pardon,” her husband returned apologetically. “I was just trying to think of something to say.” “Is (here anything on your mind?” “Yea, to tell you the truth, there is.” “Can t I help you in some way?” “You might, if I could suggest it without your becoming angry.” “Tell me about it. It is my duty to sympathize with you, you. know. ” “On my birthday anniversary you gave me a fountain pen.” ”Yes. Aud now you are going to say that it makes a horrid muss and that you don’t want to write with it.” “I’m not going to say anything of the kind,” he replied stoutly. “I’m go ing to write with that pen every day of my life. But there is one Tittle favor that I would like to ask. ” “What is it?” “Please make me a suit of overalls to go with it.’—Washington Star. mi &AKIHO POWDER Absolutely Pure QUEER OLD NATURE. “Why la It,” asked a wondering child (Sweet, simple little thing), “That the foolish tree puts on its clothM When the sun shines in the spring, And then, when chilly autumn comes And the winds of winter blow. Why does it stand out there, all bar*. In the frost and sleet and snow ?’* “Wise nature has arranged it thus,” 1 told the little one, “The rustling leaves can only live Beneath a smiling sun ; Tho tree that in the summer time Makes shady bowers for you Must liave its rest, therefore it stands Asleep the winter through.” She sat in silence for awhile And gazed far into space, ■ And lines of thought and trouble came To mar her childish face, And so, at Last, she turned and said: ‘‘l'm sorry for the tree. And glad that nature wasn’t left To fix things up for me!" —B. E. Kiser in Cleveland Leader. NOBODY CLAIM ED THE PAPER A Rebuke by Genera! Washington That Evidently Frightened the Owner. Major William Pierce left behind him a partial record of the debates in Philadelphia which supplement those of Madison, Yates and King; also the following anecdote: When tho convention first opened at Philadelphia, there were a number of propositions brought forward as great leading principles for the new govern ment to be established for tho United States. A copy of these propositions was given to each member, with an injunc tion to keep everything a profound se cret. One morning, by accident, one of the members dropped his copy of the propositions, which, being luckily pick ed up by General Mifiliu, was presented to General Washington, our president, who put it in his pocket. After the de bates of the day were over and the ques tion for adjournment was called for the general arose from his seat and, previ ous to his putting the question, address ed the convention in the following man ner: “Gentlemen, I am sorry to find that »ome one member of this body has been ho neglectful of the secrets of tho con vention us to drop in the statehouse a copy of their proceedings, which by ac cident was picked up an<J delivered to me this morning. I must entreat gen tlemen to be more careful, lest our transactions get into the newspapers and disturb the public repose by premature speculations. I know not whose paper it is, but there it is (throwing it down on tho table). Let him who owns it take it.” At the same time he bowed, picked up his hat aud quitted tho room with a dignity so severe that every person seemed alarmed. For my part, I was extremely so, for, putting my hand in my pocket, I missed my copy of the same paper, but, advancing up to the table, my fears soon dissipated. I found it to bo the handwriting of another per son. When I went to my lodgings at the Indian Queen, I found my copy in a coat pocket which I had pulled off that morning. It is something remarkable that no person ever owned the paper. American Historical Review. Inadequate Identification. , A woman who is newly come to town went into one of tho banks ono (fay last week to have a check cashed. The pay ing teller examined the check with that air of suspicion a paying teller never loses. “You’ll have to be identified, mad am,” he said politely, • The woman was in a great hurry. “Identified!” she said. “Why, I haven’t time to go aud get anybody to identify me! Besides, I don’t know three people in town. ” “I’m sorry,” said the teller, “but the rule is invariable.” “But,” protested the woman, “I really am the Mary L. Brown named on the check. You don’t doubt that, do you?” The teller looked embarrassed. “It’s only a form, madam,” he said, “but wo must insist on some identifica tion. ” A happy thought struck the woman. Her name was on her Laudkerchief. “Would the name on my handker chief be any identification?” sho asked. The teller replied that it would. "Well, then,” said she. majestically, handing over tho square of linen, “per haps you’ll be good enough to give me the money now!” The teller examined the handkerchief aud handed it back without a word. In oue corner was daintily written in in delible ink, “Sarah Jones.” The check was not cashed till next day, and the newly arrived woman has discharged her laundress.—Washington Post. Prussian Streets. The German emperor as king of Prus sia has the sole right to name streets, and he has just refused his consent to the proposal to call two streets after the names of Dr. Bertram and Dr. Langer hans, two popular members of the mu nicipal council. His majesty disapproves of such a course during the lifetime of the godfathers. This apparently refers to men of official standing only, whose political opinions might change after the streets had been named, for the Moinmsenstrasse in Charlottenburg was recently passed with approval. Some new German streets have a tendency to long names. “Prince August von Wur tembergstrasse” is today a name and nothing more. The houses have still to be built. Arrangine; For a Karjraln.
