Walter Willman has finally dis CoveredS'.hat Murk.Hannu bulldozed the coul barons in to settling the •trike, R. L. McKenney of the Macon News, is fairly making the editorial page of that paper bristle with logic and scintillating wit. The Valdosta Times is out in a twenty-tour page issue, advertising the fair and Valdosta generally The Valdosta Timet is always in the lead. The Dixie Detective Agency, of Savannah, represented in Waycross by Edward J. Lynch, is out of business and the manager it now engaged elsewhere. John Wanamaker who is both an advertiser and a newspaper pub lisher, and therefore competent to •peak from either standpoint, is credited with the following: “There is only one way to advertise, and that is to hammer your name, your location, your business, so constant' ly, so presistently—so thoroughly into the people’s heads that if they - walked in their sleep, they would constantly turn their faces towards your store. The newspaper is your best friend tn spite of yourcriticism, It helps to build up tLe community that supports you. When the day comes that ths newspapers are dead the people ore near the edge of the grave, with no one to write their epitaph," A CRUEL DECISION. “Oh Judge! fudge! I didn’t think you’d do it!” It was a wbman’s voice wailing out her agony in Judge Lumpkin’s court this morning- Added to her cries were those of two little girls. They wept and sobbed, until by the order ot the judge an officer removed them from the court room. It was the conclusion of the long (ought case of John H. Peeples against Sallie Snider, involving the custody of Peeple’s two little girls, left to Mrs. Snider by their mother on her death bed.' Judge Lumpkin handed down a decision this morning awarding the children to the father. Then came the scene. Mrs. Snider gat in the court room with the children. The father was also there, with his second wife. Mrs. Snider had raised the little one6, and they clung to her as to their true mother. Peoples had demanded the children; Mrs Snider had refused to give them up, on the ground that the mother had left them With her and that their father was not a proper person to care for them. As the judge pronounced the fa tal words u cry broke from Mrs Snider— “Oh Judge! Judge!" The scene was most pathetic. She clung to the two children; they to her. Realizing that this meant separation from the one they loved, the children began to mingle their voices with hers. The court looked perplexed. Men started up ail over the room. An officer came forward and as gently as possible removed Mrs. Snider to corridor, where she continued her cries and lamenta tions, so that the. passers by on the street came in. The children, given over to their father, refused to be comforted, until at last they were taken away by him, leaving Mrs. Snider to weap and wail alone. This description of a cruel case in an Atlanta court room will ap> peal to all people who love little children, There is no oue so unfortunate, and 10 doomed to destruction as a child who is raised by a stepmother; though the be one of the best oi omen. The action of that Atlanta judge paved the way for a life of misery for the little girls. His assurance that “if they should prove themselves unworthy ot the trust und unfit persons to raise them the strong arm of law can still pro' tect them and take them from him,” is worth nothing; for the physical cruelty that may be detected by the law is us nothing to the subtle cruelty and injustice that is given a child unconsciously by one who has no mother-love for it. This it a true description of the child who is raised in this way:— ‘ But by und by, if you got to know these children well, you saw that they were very old, arid that they had queer, unchildish ways of hiding their troubles, and when you noted, as their lips begun to tremble, that instead of flying to sheltering arm* and weeping their little woes out on a woman’s breast they went off alone, you knew the whole story of discipline and preuion and tyranqy that worked itself out upon these hopeless and helpless little ones. Many a boy escapes from such i,ome to the freedom of the street and the society of wild companions many a girl literally jumps from tbe frying pan into the fire by marrying the first man who asks her, whether she loves him or not, or he i> suit able or not, just tu get away from her stepmother. Many a man and woman, looking back upon their sliaved childhood, withont love, without sympathy, without com prehension, knows it warped their nature and robbed them of that which life can never restore.” Such things! as these, the law connot reach. The only way the law might have helped in this case was to,have given the children to the sister of their dead mother, who loved them a* her own. The stern justice of the courts should sometime be teiqpered with mercy. —Macon News.

Ernest Camp is now with the Vienna News, and his column in that paper sparkles with gems in a way that reminds one of Stanton's “Just from Georgia” column in the Constitutioii.-r-Hawkinsville Dis. path and Mews.
