Tom Hardwick has already started to explaining and it’s such a long way to Tipperary too. The weekly editors are going to Brunswick on an outing this summer, but Brunswick must run up the flag of truce in the meantime. Isn’t it about time that the ■ewspapers hands off and permit Judges Speer and Lambdin to settle their work to their own satisfaction? * The legislature or some other body of probers ought to turn the light on the tire insurance trust, the greediest and most insatia ble monopoly of them nil. That the protit derived from newspaper advertising in six years has enabled him to increase his appropriation for that purpose from $2,000 annually to SBO,OOO per annum is the remarkable statement made by a mail order seedsman of Atlanta. This man started right, for with the open ing of his business he set aside a certain sum to be expended in newspaper advertising. That it pdid him is shown by the way in which he has increased his ex penditures along this line. Of course we aren’t expecting any firm in Tifton to turn loose SBO,- 000 a year for advertising hut any merchant who wishes to in crease his business can do so by persistent and judicious adver tising, provided he has a good, salable stock and treats his cus tomers right.—Tifton Gazette.
