Offices: 412 Cherry Street. The champions of the military honor and glory of France are becoming less numer ous daily. Meriwether Advertiser: Next will be a royal time in Macon. Are you going to the Carnival? Secretary Alger was undoubtedly sincere when he said he “was gratified to find the men in the hospitals steadily improving.” Waycross Times: The Valdosta Times can come down out of the loft now, Sallie has killed the bear and all the trouble is over. i Brunswick Times: The celebrated steam ship City cf Macon, is still in evidence and you will soon see the boat go ’round the bend, with a “goodbye, my lover, goodble,” sort of refrain. Jones County News: Next Tuesday the gatf s of Macon will be removed from the hingt s and thousands of people will flock in to share her hospitality. Macon will en tertaln thorn royally. When the Boston gets into Chinese wa ters there will not be any warship of the Powers signaling: “Go and get a reputa tion." Manila is destined to prove a bright name in American history. Augusta Herald: Macon's Jubilee Carni val begins next week and it will be a great ■success. Those in charge of it have left undone nothing to make it complete, 'and it will be complete in every sense of the word. The Khalifa’s loose change to the amount of $5,000,000 has been found hidden in the sands of the desert. The search for the missing wives still goes on. An Amer ican manager of a burlesque show is after them. It is reported that nine of the clearing house banks of Boston will be consoldiated into one. It is part of a world-wide move ment of bank consolidation, which seems destined to produce important results in both domestic and foreign commerce. Savannah News: It is to be hoped the fu siontets of the Eleventh district enjoyed reading the election re-turns. Those from ■Charlton and Laurens counties must have beui especially enlivening to them. Tae white men of the Eleventh are. not to be 'bamboozled. The Santiago fever is thus described by Lieutenant Febiger: “It is the funniest thing; it jumps on a man. A’our fever is about 13 for two days, then you commence to get well, but feel very weak, and when that wears off you feel fine. Every man and officer in our regiment has had it, or have it now, and the turn for the better has come.” T —— North Georgia Citizen: Macon is to have a big carniv .1 October 11 th-14th and every one who can should go The rates are low. thus affording a splendid chance to see one of Georgia’s most lovely citiese and meet some of the state’s best people. Her mayor, Daisy Price, is the cleverest one that ever rapped a council together and the newspa per boys the keenest lot in the state. Be sure to go if you can. Mobile Register: Wh m Fitzhugh Lee left Havana he said in response to the hooting of the Spaniards, and using the words of Marius, “I go but I will return.” The in timation from Washington is that the gen era’ will start for Cuba about the last of th:, month. His return, however, will not not be like that of Marius, for revenge and ■slaugnter. but to help the island so long by the Spaniards. The horrible thought suggests itself that rhe French are in league with the Span iards and are plotting to wear the Ameican Peace Commissioners out. The conspira tors won't give them any breakfast until 1 p. m.. which removes the dinner hour to about 7 p. m. Do they ekpect Judge Day. Whitelaw Reid and the rest of the peace restoring Yankees to wait for their sup pers until after midnight? That revolution is imminent there seems to be no doubt, though it does not now ap pear that a Carlist' uprising is probable. The danger from that source, according to a Spanish writer in the Fortnight Review, has been much exaggerated, as Don Carlos has grown fat and indolent, and lacking the fire of youth and the possession of means, his followers have tried in vain to prod him into action. In nine cases out of ten when a man says that advertising does not pay, he has ar rived at that conclusion because he ex pected the newspaper to do it all. If he were to neglect his window and store front as he neglects his advertising space, he would have still other complaints to make about business in general. If the windows were never washed, and the display of goods never changed., he would not expect many people to stop and lose themselves in ecstacy and admiration. Yet he expects an ad. that is never changed and which says nothing in particular to draw trade like a house afire. Space in a good paper costs money- (other than a good paper are dear at any price) and when a man en gages to pay good money he ought to at least pay as much attention to it as he does to his show windows.—Clinton (la.) Herald. Effect of the Carnival. Next week will be given up to the Car nival. The men who have had this under taking in hard have done their work well and deserve the thanks of the whole peo ple of the city. It is safe to say that never before in the history of the city of Macon has so much unnanimity been shown among the busi- e ness men of the city. It has been the rule in the past to throw all the work upon a few people while the rest reaped the ad vantages cr were freed .from the blame that came afterward. While of course it is true that compara tively few people have done the hard work in this Carnival still it is equally true that the work has been more thoroughly di vided up and that' the praise can be dis tributed among a great many people.’ We know of nothing more encouraging than this, : • / ? When the people of Macon get together so that all undertakings for the public good are entered into by the people gen erally and the actual work is divided up much more can be accomplished. We have been u.-td to pointing cut that this is the secret of the success that has attended Atlanta and so to a very large extent it is true. It is true in all cities and in all commu nities that the co-operation of all factions and of all classes in movements that are for the common good means the existence of true patriotism and public spirits with out which communities and countries can not progress but must inevitable be retro grade. Macon’s Carnival celebrating her 75th birthday will mark, we hope, a new era in her history and the people of the city will feel that they have done more for themselves and that the future holds bet ter things in store. A Great Advertisement for Macon. The selection of Macon as the site for the location of headquarters for the First Army corps and a large body of soldiers, is a recognition in high places of the value of this city as a central distributing point. It speaks, well for the health record of the city, and probably Macon will get more valuable advertising out of it than out of any one thing that has been done or that has come our way in the history of the town. It is indeed a valuable present for the city on the occasion o£ .the celebration of her seventy-fifth birthday. It is entirely unnecessary to point out the value of the encampment to the busi neese men of the city. It comes at this time as a godsend to those who were des tined to disappointment and loss as a re sult of the practical failure of the cotton crop.- It means the circulation through all channels >cf trade of a very large sum of money each month and a revival of busi neess, for wihout this fresh circulating me dium we believe that Macon, in common with all other cities dependent upon their ■agricultural population, would have been stagnated for some time to come. Soldiers are liberal spenders. They are, unfortunately for themselves and fortu nately for our merchants, not savers, and the money will go a long way towards pay ing debts and relieving embarrassment. The commercial tone of the city will be raised, and its finmroial pulse will beat with a more healthy throb. But the greatest thing cf all Is the an nouncement that has been made to the whole country that Macon is one of the best distributing points in the South, that she is as healthy as any place and that she has enterprise and common sense enough to know a good thing when she sees it. Pennant Practically Won. As the age of miracles is over, we are sorry to say that Ned Hanlon’s Birds have about as much chance to win the flag as the Delsartean movement has to gain a foothold in Timbuctoo. It is safe to say that the fight is ended. (Boston has the championship all but cinched. Some people think that fcotball is des tined to succeed baseball as the great American sport. The gridiron belongs to the autumn days and cannot come in con flict with the diamond. One sport is purely amateur. It would not be possible to re cruit an eleven made up of professionals who would take chances on the serious in jury that football players assume in every game. It requires more pluck to play foot ball than to engage in a glove fight. Four of the best players on the University of Pennsylvania team are disabled, and yet we are only upon the threshold of the sa son. Football is a grandly exhilarating sport —as lively as 11 glove bouts in one ring— but it is foolish to try and compare the pastime with baseball or to say that one will supersede the other. The sports be long to different seasons and when the gridiron supplants the diamond skating will be good in Rio Janeiro and the pick aninnies in San Juan will be playing snow ball. Hanna Uueasy. The question of who will control the next congress is absorbing public interest at this time and Boss Hanna, according to the St. Louis Republic, is greatly concern ed as to the result. The Republic says: "The Boss cf the Republican party has been in Washington for several days in consultation with his associate managers. After a careful survey of rhe situation he is credited with having admitted that the prospects of the Republicans carrying the next house are slight. He gives reasons for his uncertainty with much attention to detail. He recalls the custom of the country in off years of reversing political verdicts, so far as tne complexion of the house is concerned. He shows that in the ’96 election there were 60 districts in which the successful candidates were re turned by pluralities averaging about 500 each. “The Boss proceeds to shew the impor tance of a congress being elected that shall be in accord with the president, to co operate with him in carrying out the im portant measures devolved by the war. “There can be no doubt that the alarm of the Republican leaders is general and well founded. Mr. Hanna is not voicing his anxiety for the purpose of encouraging the Democrats. His object is to frighten the Republicans into activity and to bring out a full vote. At the same he is ex citing the fears of the trusts, monopolies MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 8 Esxg POWDER Absolutely Pure and privilege-favored corporations and in dividuals who are the silent partners in tae Republican administration, so that they will shell out freely when Mr. Han na’s hat-passers come along. Proofs thicken that the Hannacrats are in deep trouble. Their prospects of capturing the next congress grow daily less.” Hard Times in the South. In discussing the causes of hard times among the farmers of the South the. Greenville (Texas) Banner tells an inter esting story of a farmer near that place which will illustrate the condition of many farmers throughout the South. The Ban ner says: “A certain farmer in Texas not a hun dred miles from Greenville sat down with his family to breakfast. They sat in chairs made in Indiana, the table was ip St. Louis, the dishes were made in New York, the knives, forks and spoons were imported from England; the biscuits were made of flour from Kansas, shortened with lard from Missouri, cooked on a stove made in Chicago, and his coffee was served with sugar from Louisiana. When break fast was over he drove to town in a wagon made in Ohio, while his son went out with a S4O gun made in Pennsylvania, and in imported $lO dog to kill five-cent birds for dinner. His daughter went riding on a $75 bicycle made in Massachusetts. His wife swept the floor with a broom from Cincinnati, took up the dust in a pan made in Vermont with a brush made in Rhode Island. The farmer bought a plow made in Illinois, a cultivator made in Michigan, hoes and rakes made in Indiana, and a reaper made in Chicago. He took these home and set them out on a vacant lot, exposed to the rain and sunshine, where they were ruined in one year. That farmer is 'always complaining of hard times.”- Want to Know Why. Buyers of goods are not satisfied with being told that goods are the best and cheapest. Even if they promptly purchase the goods, they want to know “why” they are cheaper and better than some other dealer’s. It should be the aim of every honest advertiser to relieve this natural curiosity on the part cf his customers. In every city there are half a dozen or more stores that claim to sell the best anil cheapest goods. Some give reasons, which are more or less remote, and others deal in generalities. But generalities don’t go with the public any more than with other intelligent buyers. This question “why” is in everyone’s mind and no man can become successful until he answers it intelligently. If a man expects to sell goods nowadays he must be able to answer in a manner that will carry conviction to the hearts of his customers. Calhoun Times: Macon’s Diamond Jubi lee comes off next week.
