Airis very necessary but it is im possible for a newspaper naan to live on it, like some people think be can 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.

Remember that our arrangements to club The Argus and Constitution for $1.25 is limited, and you should not miss this rare opportunity to get two papers for po small a price 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.” 35 Complete Novels.

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. For a chance to get a gold watch, genuine Elgine novement worth $25, for 25c. Go to Bic^irs ANNOaNGEMENTS.
