A significant fact concerning business 'failures in New York city reported by the •rfur, <and when you see it in the Sun it’s so) contains much food for thought for the f)ußlness man. The Sun says: "3inoe Christmas there have been ten failures reported of concerns that made a •specialty <of goods intended for holiday presents. Some of these concerns carried l er-ge Stocks, and were entitled to the de -'signarion ‘big.’ In one or two instances * the stocks were valued at more than $250,- 000. The noticeable thing about each of the collapsed concerns is that it did not advertise in the newspapers. ".The stores that did advertise were crowded with customers from the corn men cement of the holiday season to the hour of closing the night before Christmas. They all report the greatest holiday busi ness in years.” 'Was ever the value of advertising more forcibly demonstrated? What applies to ‘New York applies with proportionate force to Macon and to every other town where people buy and sell goods. Occasionally some concern manages to do a successful business without advertising, ;-mfl these are sometimes held up as proof Hguinst the theory that advertising is es sential to success in business. But, as a < matter of fact, such concerns are only the «f*vcoptions that prove the rule —and they - .are Pane exceptions, too. Where one sue- ;< reeds by this method a hundred fail, but we seldom hear of the failures. Fortu nately the New York Sun has run across } just ten of these cases, and it has also i brought out the fact that those concerns which did advertise were overwhelmed with business, and consequently have not found it necessary to go Into liquidation. In thinking over your business plans for the new year bear these things in mind. Don’i make the mistake of regarding ad verUsing as a sort of luxury; a thing you ca* do without, an extra expense that you van cut off. As a matter of fact advertis ing is the fertilizer that is necessary to a bountiful harvest. You can no more afford to do without it than the progressive farmer can afford to depend on the natural soil. In order to get the best results, to make your time and your energies net you the largest returns you both must use fer tilizer. Use it with judgment, to be sure, i but use it; where the land is poorest, when the season is dullest, use it more heavily .than ever. The farmer might as well go back to the <jUl wooden plow stock or harrow in his i oats with a tree top as to try to farm with out fertilizer. And the merchant might as well go back to the old yard stick or the old "cash boy” system as to try to do business without advertising. Those Chicago porkpackers seem deter mined to make a “hog-killing” as soon as they shall get General Miles where they want him. An Urarent Necessity. It is to be ‘hoped that during the coming year our city and county authorities will co-operate to secure -a new bridge across sthe Ocmulgee at Fifth street. This needed timproveiment has been too long neglected already; indeed, it has now become an urgent necessity, for the present bridge is notoriously inadequate to the demands made upon it, to say nothing of the fact that it is. 'in all probability, unsafe. In addition to- these most patent reasons It is the ony public structure that mis rep sents and slanders this progressive com munity. The fact that it is one of the first objects that greets the eye-of the thousands who come into and pass ' through Macon over the Southern Railway •is enough to’ create a very unfavorable and hurtful impression upon strangers turd visitors. It denotes a lack of progress, oil .indifference upon the part of the (people that does not speak, well for the town. •But, above all, it is an actual injustice to a part of the city that deserves more consideration that it has ever vet received. E:wt Macon is rip longer a trade outpost, a sort of surburban hitching place, so to speak, that was not to be considered an essential part of the city: on the contra ct. it is a city in itself, paying into the city and county, treasuries a very consid erable part of rhe public revenuees —vastly more, in fact, than it receives in return. As such it is entitled to at least this one public improvement. But when we con sider that the city proper is os much or more benefited by the improvement as is Bast Macon, we must admit that there is every reason why it should be given prior consideration among the things to be un dertaken during the coming year. No one feels, however, that the city should undertake this improvement alone. It is one which will benefit directly a vast number of suburban and county citizens who pay no taxes to the city; in fact, the benefit and the obiigatioi lies more largely un the side of the county proper than else where. But there need he no contention on this point. With the present progres sive city administration, we believe the county commissioners woull be met more than half way in an effort to carry out this needel improve meat. The bridge must be b’r'lt. The public welfare demands it. The public safety de mands it. It is an urgent necessity. It would seem that the Cubans had earned a right to make Havana howl, for once at least. Mr. English’s Logic. ] Mr. I. B, English furnishes an interview to the Southern Railway's Macon paper * this morning in which he makes one of the • ; most, unique and altogether amusing argu ments that we have vet seen. Mr. Eng lish, be it known, owns a large compress and handles thousands of bales of cotton that pass through Macon in transit, so that he is not seriously affected by the fact that Macon’s cotton receipts have been cut off 15.000 bales In one year, by reason of the fact, as Messrs. W. A. Davis. W. H. Snowden. John T. Moore, C. B. Willing sham and other experienced cotton men j show, that the railroads discriminate S against Macon, a thing made possible ! through lack of competition at this pdint. Mr. English, who runs a coniDress, un j dertakes to tell the above gentlemen, who | buy and sell cotton, that thev don’t know i what they are talking about. He bases his I argument on these points: First —Shortage in the crop. Second —There have been no changes in | rates. According to Mr. English's logic Macon’s receipts have decreased because of a short age in the crop, while the receipts at Cor- Jele and other places that enjoy competi tive freight rates have Increased because of a short crop. His second point is that there have been, no changes io rates as concerns Macon. Thi* Is too true. And it will continue to be true as long as Macon is bottled un as 3he now is . Where tjiere is no competi tion railroads never-.change their rates. They remain utterly inflexible. And this is tvhat Is the matter with Macon. On the Other band. Cordele and other places which have competitive lines of railroad have secured changes in their freight rates, or at least concessions—by reason of competition—that has given those places an advantage over Macbn. This is where the trouble lies. It is not that Macon’s rate is too high for the ser vice rendered, but that other places enjoy a better rate by reason of fact that they have competing lines of railroad, whereas ererv line of road upon which Macon must depend to handle her cotton crop is either owned or controlled by the Southern Railway—and that. too. in fact of the constitution of Georgia, which forbids the ownership or control of one competing line bv another. But, to sum up, if Macon Tost cotton by reason the short crop, while Cordele has increased her receipts, how does Mr. Eng lish accoant for ft? Is Cordele any nearer the sea than she was last year? If not, why does she eu/oy an advantage over Macon in cotton rates this year? We are afraid tfrat the only people who can’t see the lack of railroad competition is injuring Macon are tYose wfro don’t want to see it. What it Mean? The Telegraph, still, true to its masters,, announces the "beginning of the end” be cause of the Dunlap Hardware Company’s withdrawal from the Southern Railway* suit. Like The Telegraph's frequent allu- . sions to the Democratic party, coupled with ‘occasional announcements of the death of the free silver issue, the wish is father to ' ; the thought. Its. masters are equally in terested in killing off both issues. Bur sensible people will not understand that the withdrawal of the Dunlap Hardware Company or any other party, thereto, from the case now pending against the Southern railroad can in any way affect the vital issues involved in that suit. It is a direct imputation against the honesty and integrity of a court to say that its decisibn will be influenced by numbers —that it will be swayed by the numerical or commercial strength of the complain ants. Does not the issue remain whether there is one name Or a dozen names to the peti tion for relief? Does The Telegraph think I Judge Speer will be influenced in any way ! by the fact that the Dunlap Hardware ! : Company's name is on the petition or oft'? j What, then, does it mean by "the begin ning of the end?" Does it not know that the case must be tried on its merits. And does it not know. too. that Judge Speer has already ruled (and has been upheld by .the United States supreme court) that one competing line of road cannot own and i control another in Georgia. This is the issue, and the Southern Railway will have to face it —and the court will have to de cide it upon its merits. A Costly Bug. The entomological division of the United States department of agriculture will soon issue a bulletin on the life-history and de structive methods of a bug which has cost the people of the West and South over $300,000,000. and is rightly regarded as the most costly bug in the world. Few insects ‘ have caused such pecuniary losses as the ! chinch bug. and no other insect native to \ the Western hemisphere has spread its j devasting visits over a wider area of the | country, and with more fatal effect to the j staple grain of North America. In 1864. one-half of the corn and three-fourths of the wheat crops were destroyed by This pest, causing a damage estimated at SIOO.- 000.000 in United States currency. The bug is 3-20 of an inch lo k ng. and has four white wings. The female lays some 500 eggs in the ground, and there are often two broods of larvae in a single year. The insect is a hemipterous in nature and belongs to a sub-division of Latreille’s great family of corisiae. The chinch bug bulletin which Secretary Wilson is going to issue is to treat of the lygaeus germs which is a distinctive of the grain fields of the country. Its congener, the cimex leetularius. or the bed bug. is quite well known everywhere, but does not inspire as genuine alarm, since it confines its depredations to the human anatomy and not to man's poeketbook. The chinch bug of which the bulletin will treat is said to have made its presence felt for the first time in this country in North Carolina in 1753. From 1850 to ISS7 its destruction to 1 the grain fields in the United States is es ! timated at $267,000,000. and up to the pres ‘ ; ent year the loss is said to have reached > I to fully $330,000,000. A Sufficient Answer. "The South’s soldiers, as history shows, did not fight for pay; and there is not to day a survivor of the lost cause worthy of that honored title who would aceep: 5 1 from his former foes one- penny for what ? ' he suffered.”—lMaeon News. • j Now. this is very nice, grandiloquent if . j not altruistic, but we don't suppose the ! man who wrote it did any fighting or knew . what the Confederates suffered, or he ? wouldn't be so dainty. The Confederates ? have just as much right to he pensioned s 1 by the common government as the federals j have. —Rome Tribune. - * And we don’t suppose whatever wrote . the above did any fighting either or is even capable of comprehending the feeling | which animated every' man who bore arms [ in behalf of "the war-cradled nation that • j fell.” At any rate, his contention is point edly answered by the men who did the MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31 1898. fighting and who do know what the Con federates suffered. That answer is given iu a rtsolution passed by Confederate vete rans now living in New York, which will I be endorsed, as we have said, by every i survivor of the Lost Cause who is worthy j of the name. That resolution 'is as follows, and we ad vise whatever writes the Rome Tribunes • editorials to read it; in the hope that he I may imbibe seme of the sentiments which he is pleased to regard as being entirely j tco dainty: "Resolved, That the Cc&federate veteran camp of New York condemns in unmeas- I ured terms the efforts of Senator Butler, of North Carolina, (who is not a Confederate • veteran) to debauch the manhood of the South by seeking to obtain pensions for ex-Confederate soldiers from the United States and that any similar effert by any Southern member of congress will be ab- I horrent to the camp and meet with unquai ! ified condemnation.” * ■ 1— Sam Small says that from his experience as an army chaplain, he is beginning to think "There is a heap of balderdash about I what the chaplains accomplish outside of 1 meeting the sentiment that calls for their presence with every body of troops.—Aq- I gunsta Chronicle. | And from all accounts, the members of j the Third -Engineers hi least agree with j him. But there are several Other regi j ments in the army of which the Rev. Sam 'is not chaplain. In this connection it ; might be remarked for the Rev. Sam’s benefit, and for the benefit of the vislona- I ries who will be the losers thereby, that J there will he a blamed sight more -balder - j dash and less Income in tue publication of -a prohibition daily in Macon, which is j to be the latest project of this light | ning change artist. i • The Atlanta jubilee cost less than $3,000. Savannah’s cost $4,500. And yet Atlanta had 100 people from the outside to come where Savannah had one. —-‘Savannah Press. Another proof of the value of advertis ing. When Atlanta does a thing she epends one dollar in doing and two in ad vertising it. This is why Atlanta always draws the crowds. Mr. Robert OP. Porter, in his recent re port on Cuba, says: ‘ The railway system of Cuba, consisting of seven companiese. the -aggrgate length of which is 917 miles, is entirely inadequate to bringing ends of the island together, Santiago and Havana, in point of time, being -as far apart as San Francisco and New York, though only serarated by a distance of a few hundred miles.” Wait until we begin to thorough ly Americanize the island and one compa ny. -instead of seven, will own them all. There is a growing disposition on the part of the public to demand that Rudy-ard Kipling shall hereafter write tin a language and a w-ay that people can understand, ob serves the 'Memphis Commercial-Appeal., Some of his later stories require a -chart, a mariner’s compass, a step-ladder, -a fire escape and a polyglot dictionary to under stand. An excited and light-headed Canadian newspaper is laboring under the delusion, says the Atlanta ’Journal, that General Wilson spoke the sentiments of the people j of this country -in his recent foolish speech about expansion over most of the face of the earth. The New York Times thinks that Dr. Hall, of Macon, "committed an assault"' when he pinned a Confederate veteran's badge on the President’s coat. But, strange to say, the President didn’t con sider it such at the time. 9 When you swear off -tomorrow remember that the mint julep grows as luxuriantly* as ever and that the bock beer season is just ahead cf you. At any rate, Cuba will turn over a new leaf tomorrow that really means some thing. STATE NEWS AND VIEWS. Mr. W. P. Edmonds-on’s barn was burned Tuesday night at La 'Grange. Besides the loss of the barn, which was a very large one, there was in it about 200 bushels of corn ar.d about -10,000 pounds of hay. No insurance. The amount of money 'Houston county schools will receive next year will be $13,- 260.44. Last year the schools of the coun ty received about 18,000 -and the county school commissioner figures that Houston should receive next year something over $14,000. The reduction is accounted for by -the reduction of $200,000 in the direct state appropriation. J. C. Burnam. the merchant who was shot at through his front window Saturday night at Cordele, has -caught the party who did the shooting. It proved to be John Neal, a negro, who keeps a small stand and negro barber shop just across the street from Mr. Burnam’s store. He swcTe out a warrant before Judge Campbell, who gave the negro a preliminary hearing and bound him over to a higher court. The cotton producel in Wilkes county in its raw state brings from $600,000 to $809,- 000. The county has water (power 'going •to waste' that could and should be utilized in manufacturing every pound of cotton grown within its borders. If made up into cloth the cotton would put $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 into the pockets of the people, instead of only $600,000 or SBOO,OOO as it does now. Amerieus Times-Recorder: The’ heme of Mr. and 'Airs. Marion -S. Sims, on Church street, was the scene of a happy and ro mantic marriage on the evening of De cember 25th, when their sister. Miss Stell-a M. Persons, was wedded to Mr. John H. McClurkin. of Springtown. Texas. The | bride and groom met for the first rime a few hours before their marriage was sol emnized, though an engagement has ex isted for sime time as the result of a lengthy correspondence. There was a narrow escape from death in Gibson a few nights since. There was | one negro prisoner in the county jail at Gibson. which was a strong building and a credit to the city. About 2 o'clock in the morning there was an alarm of fire and - the town was thrown into a state of excite ment. It was discovered that the jail was on fire. There was every evidence that the fire was the work of the solitary prie ! oner, but he had overdone the thing, and instead of making his escape, was fast suffocating to death. It was with consid erable difficulty that he w-as rescued just , in time to save his life. Recently in Heard county Deputy Col lector of Internal Revenue John R.

He also cap tured another seventy-gallon copper still and about fifteen hundred gallons of beer and mash, belonging to a negro named Pike Rowe. At the same time about a j couple of miles from Pink Rowe’s still, he I captured an eighty gallon copper still and about two thousand gallons of beer and mash, which belonged to another negro.

The' jump took place about two days ago. The price has gone up about 50 cents per ton, so a. Herald representative was informed by the coal dealers today. The cause of this is the scarcity of the fuel, caused by the strikers at the coal mines of (Pennsylvania. It has been repor ted that the 'Georgia 'Railroad lias discon tinued one of its freight trains in conse quence. However, this is no: the ease, as the road officials ; r<formed a Herald man today that they had “coal to burn,”" and that no train had been discontinued. Coal that sold for $4.50 per ton bias gone up to $5. This is Jellieo coal. It would seem 'that the Alabama coal mines could fur nish this section with coal enough to make a strike in Pennslyvania “cut no ice” with the demand here, but a great deal of our coal comes from the mines of the Key -Stone state, and so the rise in price.—Au- gusta Herald. PEOPLE’S FORUM. VS liat We Would Like to Know. To the Editor of The 'News; I note with surprise the interview of my friend, Mr. I. B. English, in this morning's Telegraph. Yes, surprise, when he says that Macon’s business, and especially the cotton busi n-ts, has not been 'injured by discrimina tion, but attributes it to the shortness of the crop. The citizens of Macon would like to know if the same “shortness ot the crop” does not apply to the entire state of Georgia. Is it only applicable to the territory tributary to .Macon? (Does not my friend well know that the best statis ticians and highest recognized authority the Georgia crop this year at 1,400,000, against 1,500,000 last year, about a 7 per cent reduction in the state. Then if (Ma con loses 20,000 bales ($450,000) of cotton alone, and the trade that follows it,over 25 per cent of its cotton business, must there not be other -great causes that force this great loss to our city and her people? He says Cordele, Americas and other points are enjoying lower rates of freight because they are “nearer the sea.” If the crop is shorter, why won’t it effect their receipts as he claims it does Macon’s re ceipts. Yet their business is very much larger. 'Has their geographical position changed? Are they any nearer the sea in miles and furlongs than they were last year? No, no! It has only changed in dollars and cents. They have one inde pendent line that gives them competition. They are not at -the mercy of combinations and monopolies. What would Macon’s business be If these roads, the E. T. V. & G., Georgia 'Southern and Florida and Macon and built with .Macon capital and given termi nal facilities and all advantages and priv ileges by Macon’s generosity, were inde pendent lines and free from monopoly. Why is it Macon’s wholesale business has diminished? are Dannen.berg & Co., Waxelbaum & Co., Cox & Chappell, and Jaques & Tinsley, and other wholesale houses more indifferent for trade? Are they less enterprising? less liberal with their customers than formerly? Why is it that Cordele and Amencui, the latter with no place on the railroad map were a few years ago robbed of it from spite and greed and oppression? Why is it these towns are forging to the front and monopolizing the trade that always belonged to Macon merchants? What can it mean except they have an indeoenden: line of railway that gives them advantages in rate: t v at builds them up at tie ex pense of cities that are at the mercy of combines. Is Athens nearer the sea than Macon? If not why is it she enjoys a rate of freight on cotton about one-half or less than Macon? I speak of cotton because I have inquired more especially about that rate. It may apply to other merchandise. No, no! Athens is no nearer the sea but she has one independent line of railway in competition with the giant monopoly. This same rule will apply to many points where there is no competition. The rates are changing and the cities and the people are getting the benefit wherever there is eom ; petition. * Macon, having contributed in franchises and money to build all the roads centering here that she might have competition and being centrally located and with more | roads leading from the city than any other | place in the state save Atlanta, ought to have and control the largest wholesale and retail trade of any place in the three states adjoining, and would do so but for the combination and monopoly that Geor gia laws say shall not exist, controlling directly and indirectly every road except one unfinished that leads to the city.
