Rumor says Hon. Alex Atkinson
of Butt 9 will be iu the next congress
ional iace from the sixth district, and
will make a specialty of the financial
question.—Thomaston Times.
The Albany Ilciald is now a morn
ing paper. It is a small matter when
the Herald gets up. It always lands
on both teet and moves off in the right
direction.
Any man who in secrecy does an
underhanded, mean, contemptiole
deed by which to injure another, is a
white livered coward. And a man
who would take advantage of such to
still fui the• injure Is no better than
the other cur.
The Savannah Press is nonplussed
by the language of the green table as
used by a contemporary, he says:
“The papers are jumping on Editor
Murphy for declaring that the gub
ernatorial race would be a showdown
in which General Evans holds a bet
tar band.’ The Griffin News consid
ers this a bad break. It is asserted
that Mr. Atkinson doesn’t know one
card from another, and doubts if Gen.
Evans does. Come now, Editor Mur
phy. what do you mean by a ‘show
down* and a ‘better hand ?'”
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
The editor of an exchange, who ap
parentlv knows what he is talking
about,says a newspaper has 5,000
readers for every 1,000 subscribe! a.
A merchant who puts out 1,000 hand
bills and gets probably 300 or 400
people to read them—that is if the boy
who is trusted to distribute them does
not chuck them uuder the sidewalk.
The hand bills cost as much as a half
column advertisement in the home
newspaper. All the women and gills
and half the men and boys read the
advertisements. Result, the merchant
who uses the newspapers has 3,500
more readers to each 1,000 of its pa
per’s readers. There ie no estimating
the amount ot business the advertis
ing does bring to the merchant, but
that each dollar invested in advertis
ing brings to the investor from $5 to
S2O worth of business there can be no
doubt.

SOUTH CAROLINA’S LIQUOR
LAW.
We clip from the Atlanta Constitu
tion a paragraph from a letter written
from South Carolina. Dr. Mays says
the barrooms furnish the only oppo
sition to the law, and that is the solu
tion of the liquor traffic. He thinks
all the sta'es w ill adopt it. All new
plans are opposed, and time will prove
whether or net old man Tillm .n i
wise or foolish :
‘•Mr. Editor, in spite ot the most
vindicative and determined opposition
fro.u the anti 4 (as we call the taction
iu our state opposed to the administra
tion) this dispensary law has alrea ty
proved a most phenomenal success.
Iu three months it has cleared about
$100,(XX), and will pay the state debt.
Liquor drinking and drunkenness
have greatly decreased, as is shown
by the police reports. Habitual d r u ik
ardf, minors or men whose families
file a j ortest against their
cannot get whiskey at a dispensary,
and you can see the good effects of
this refoimon every hand. Eveiy
barrel of liquor is analyzed by the
state client it before being bottled, and
is chemically pure and one hundred
proof. The only comp.aint against
the law is that 100 per cent profit is
too much to charge on corn
whiskey, which makes it 75 cents per
quart. You can buy by the galloi,
however, ats2.so. But then one of
those dispensary quarts, by actual
measurtiueut, bold ueaily a quart and
a ..alf according to the barroom
gauge. The whisky is not branded,
but designated by the letter “X” and
runs from Xto XXXX. The latter is
old rye, and sebs at 40 cents per pint;
IX at 50 cents; XXX at 60 cents, and
XXXX at sl. The XXX liquor is
guaranteed to be eleven years old.
It is much stronger than you buy
from dealers and parties who have
drank it say that headach< never fol
lows, It is ail nonsense, Mr. Editor,
talk about this dispensary liquor
being “vile stuff,” for it was bought
from the samp manufacturers that
supply the wholesale dealers of your
city, and is sliippad direct from the
government warehouse to the state
dispensary where it goes through the
hands of a skilled chemist to see that
it is absolutely pure.
Three fourths ot the white voters of
South Carolina are heartily in favor
of this law, and will endorse it at the
hallo box next November, as you will
see. 1 hey are entirely satii-fied with
its operations. Under tlie old license
system, nearly all the profits Irom this
traffic went into the treasuries of the
town and cities, but with our dispen
sary, the state receives one half, the
county where located one fourth, and
the town one fourth.”

A special to the Atlanta Constitu
tion of Wednesday from Jackson savs
that “from rumors afloat it is consid
ered very probtble that Alex Atkin
son, of Butts county, will be iu the
next congressional race from the sixth.
Mr. Atkinson is versed iu tbe great
financial questions of the day and is a
catchy stump speaker. He will surely
make it interesting for his opponents.”
Fayetteville News.
WHAT NEXT?
We have before us today the ridic
uloua spectacle of two papers of dif
ferent party policy trying to support
the same man for office. The Atlanta
Constitution knows Atkinson is the
most representative democrat in the
-tate aud cannot question his politics,
aud the Journal knows he don’t agree
with its politics, but Mr. Evans says,
“me too,” aud it cannot attack one
and leave the olher out. Those At
lanta papers are inan awkward pre
dicament aud the end is net yet.
