. T / VOL I, NO 93. VIENNA, GA„ SATURDAY; APRIL 19, 1902. TWICE-A’WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR, BY VIENNA A. I B. , SURELY COME The Contract Has Been Signed and Wort Will Commence at Once On the Hew Route from (kordele to Monteznma Yia this City and oar People are Indeed Happy. ,AH doubt ns to whether Vienna,many obligations especially ta would secure the Atlantic & Bir- minghttm railroad was removed yesterday afternoon when Vice- President George Dole Wadley. arrived in the city from Atlanta, and ufter investigating the survey or’s report, ( made Vienna a direct proposition which was readily accepted and the contract sighed up by the proper officials about 8 o'clock last night. r ' : Mr. Wadley stated, to a crowd last.night that work would begin on the line from Cordele towards ■ Vienna this morning. This was good news to the people of this city who have been untiring in their efforts to secure the road. While the outlook tor getting the road seemed to . be very slim awhile, a great many of our citi zens never lost all hope, but con tinued to work to that end. The people of Vienna are under Messrs. Jos. Burns and O. M. Heard for the excellent manner which they have handled the mat ter of securing the' railroad, as the coming of the road is largely due to their efforts. , Mr. Wadley stilted that he hoped to be doing business in Vienna by August 15th, and that he was glad to have the road come by our city The News was the first and only paper in the county ,to urge the people to renew their efforts in securing the A. & B. railroad, after a telegram was received ' from Mr, Wadley stating that the road couldn’t come by Vienna. But ,a few of our people kept working at the, matter until they succeeded. , Now, while we are all united, let’s continue 1 to work for Vienna and brin^ rpore enterprises here for the upbuilding of the capital city of the great state of Dooly. E HAVE been looking outside our borders for the signs of the times; now let us look within. We have noticed the formation of a great liquor political trust whose avow ed object is "to conduct campaigns in states where the prohibitionists are strong”—that is, in Georgia. Fore, warned, forearmed! / Now how are we : prepared to resist this invasion of brewers, jobbers, aliens and their .allies? What are “the men who control,’’doing to protect the com mon people in the counties whCre, af ter a desperate straggle, they have thrown off the yoke of the liqaor pow er, from having It pat on them again? Let us follow oqr ■ “leaders” if they lead us right; but first let us see what way they are going. We notice this. In looking around we see that, generally speaking, the great dailies* the court house contin- gent and moss book politicians are on the one side; and the farmers, labor ers, the'common , people as a whole, on the other. 80 far as Dooly county is concerned, my observation is that the THE WAY TO ADVERTISE. AMERICANS LIKE TO BE BUNCOED Advertising is not a minor detail of The man that said, “The great Amer- business, says an exchange; nor may it • lean publioloves to be buncoed,” said be attended to perfunctorily at odd moments. On the contrary,'it to of the utmost importance, and ingenuity and attention nro jnecessary in the’ compOr , sition’and placing of every business .announcement. -.The "ad” is the .mer chants address to the publics .and as such it should be prepared. Advertisements must not be ilurrsd in the process of preparation. .As & prominent writer says:.,“Advertise ments are statements of facts made attractive.” Consequently, the matter - in.tbem mustbe striking to the eye, convincing to the reason and always fresh in appearance. The shrewd advertiser’s foremost de sire is to attract notice by an attention compelling arrangements of ideas and type. Next, what helms to say must be said with eloquence and convincing The matter of the merchants’ address must be changed .frequently,, .else it becomes tiresome by reiteration and ; turns aside the. attention Which it to Its province to attract. Freshness in an advertisement is as necessary as in the goods offered for sale. Above all, advertising most be con tinuous .

A WARM LETTER FROM A DEMOCRAT GIVES THE PEOPLE WARNING And Bays tRe Senatoral District Primary A REWSY LETTER FROM ONADILLA THE TEACHERS AND PUPILS Are How Preparing for Commencement--* a Few Ringsters. Editor News: 1 notice from from some of the county papers there is a scheme on foot to abro gate the rotation system in this Senatorial district. That this is a political scheme pure and simple must be patent to everyone. It is stated by inference,if not in so many words that the scheme hus already been fixed—and it is to be done by ordering a Senatorial primary for the district. Under the rotation system it is Dodge’s-time to name the Senator —but the gentlemen who are be hind this bright little game of poll* tics propose to have a District country people are going to vote nexti p r j mar y, whichsimply means the June solidly .almost to a man-together. 1 f . ... , ,V, . With whieh crowd now will, the inde- 1 be S ,nnm & of the end of the rotation pendent voter consort? Where does i system. The plea thrown out to the most virtiie and political integrity the traveling man, “bullded better than he.knew. It is astonishing when one comes to consider the matter the vast amount of good hard curency that goes 'where the woodbine twineth’ every year, and eveif hour in the year .or thing* that are absolutely valueless. I.don’t think that any one will gainsay the foot that no intelligent person re gards a fortune teller seriously, yet look at .the vast number of fortune tellers who are living in opulence on their spoils.: Not lpng ago I heard of a rather clever scheme toseperate a cer tain class' of, our citizens from their money. A concern inserted an adver tisement in newspapers and magazines which-circulate; all ever the country , The advertisement told of an absolutely certain core for stammering, or nnjf other impediment in speech. The whole euro only cost a dollar, and the formula would be mailed on receipt of that amonnt.. What do you think the formula was?. .MM^pn on a small sheet of paper were the words, ‘Keep reside?In the great dailies, or in the common people? -. With the court house contingent, or with , the common peo ple? Among therjops^ back politicians, or among the common people?. To ask these questififtrfs to'answer them. •Ifow. the presentjkannalgn Is largely d contest betweenw&e two elements in our. state., But one. more question. Where re*Mes the balance of power? Among the great dailies, the court houro contingent, the moss back poli ticians, or the COMMON PEOPLE? The answer to this question is alto easy. Let the common people once be aroused and understand the situation, they will sweep Georgia like a whirlwind. And hence it has frequently been'the policy of those who would ride us to lull us to sleep while they managed our lypines* according to their ow^ interests and ambitions. That is just what they are doing now. Hence the need of agitation and discussion before election day. Now in vbting for men the great dif ficulty to in finding out which of the candidates have strings tied to them and who holds the strings at its other end. There are certain corporate in terests that are very much concerned in Georgia legislation. Some of these are the monster railroad corporations which are growing so big and so fast that they are like Tom’Judkins’ corn— you can‘see them grow. But considered from a financial standpoint even the railroad interests are small beside the liquor, interests; and the railroad inter ests are not allied with debauchery and c^ime os the liquor interests are. Now is lt.coqceivable.tkat these great inter-sts are taking 110 hand in our affairs in this campaign? Are none of our candidates the grindstones on which they hope to sharpen their axes by and by? For “ways that are dark and tricks that are vain.” the heathen Ohinee can’t hold a' candle to the American politician'. The intelligent your damn mouth shut.’ There are the most ever heard of is an ‘Advice, Agency,’ recently started in ; one of our large citjes. This concern solicits the pat ronage of Mtjr one who to in any diffi culty of every WQnceivable nature. To those who apply the proper advice will be handed out to solve the most diffi cultproblem, provided the fee of $8 to forthcoming. This agency is run by an apparently - intelligent and honest man. . He to a# smart as a steel trap, and ean almost convtnce you that bis busipess it a legitimate one. Moat people would think twice before pay ing |5 for advice from a stranger. Yeti I am told that the ‘Advice Agency’ to doing a land office basinets, and every body connected with it is wearing diamonds." hoodwink the people is that Dodge, if left alone, might not select the right kind of a man, Inmy opin ion this is a gratuitous insult to the people of Dodge (jounty, and ho such a view is entertained by the people of the district. Fjrpm seifi’h standpoint the abrogation of the rotation system would enure to the benefit of Dooly county, for It would enable us with our large preponderence of voting strength over the smaller counties of the district, to either furnish or dictate the senutpr each time. “ Such a course might be eminent ly satisfactory to a few politicians and political log rollers in Dooly and elsewhere in the district, but would be undemocratic, and muni festly unjust and unfair to the smuller counties of tbe district. Of course, it Dodge, Pulaski and Wilcox ure willing that Dooly should dictate the Senator, nobody here will object, but without their consent the people ot Dooly huve no desire in my opinion to run rough shod over them. I do not know whoTlodge wrill select, but the presumption is that he will be acceptable to the people of the of side issues that may be raised, but will think for himself, come to hit own conclusion and then—vote. When we have reason to believe we have fonnd out who has the string tied to him what then? Why/ then—buck ; buck like a Texas bronco or kick like Bro. McGehee’s gray mule until the men that would make the great state of Georgia a pack hdrse to ride into power ore brought to the ground, and our commonwealth to rid of all but its necessary burdens. What and whom shall we throw? We will postpone discussion of this question to another time Unadilla, Ga., April 18.—The marriage of Mr. W.
