The improvement in business is llu direct result of the increased eonll deuce of llu people in the strength of the government, „ 1)llH followed immediately upon the greal improvement ill the condition of the treasury which was brought about In the recent bond issue. That expedient was adopted bv the administration after congress had failed to come to the relief of the treasury and the re suit proves its wis loin and ellfcicncy. At the end of last month the treasu rv was in a better condition than it had known for a long time. The gold reserve was not including # 1H,000,000 of foreign gold still due on tin* bond purchase. Resides this there was a nel cash balance of .fh7,i!7‘l,0d4. making a total available balance of 1ST.til7.2ld with SIK,<100,000 more foreign gold to come. A contrast of this condition of the treasury with that in winch iTc.sidcnl Harrison left it will show what the present administration has done. At the end of February 1 Stiff the total balance in the treasury including the gold reserve was K12LlgK,0S7 against flu* #lH7,!H7,2<il which was there at the end of March IKilo, a difference of K<i:i.7K{t,17l in favor of the Cleveland administration. Another significant result of the bond issue is to he found in Ihe fact that during Iasi month there was an increase of in national bank eirculatfom. This money went into va¬ rious channels of business. Industries' have taken on new life all over the country and m many of them there has been all increase of wages. In every department of mnnufie ture and trade a far better condition is to be seen today than tlini which ob¬ tain'd just before the bond issue. With tilt* restored stregth of the treas¬ ury business confidence naturally im¬ proved. Congress left the president to meet the emergency without the as¬ sistance lit* asked from that hotly and which Eu* had a right to expect. ile had Hie wisdom .and courage to meet it in way that has put tin* coun¬ try on the up grade toward the res¬ toration of general prosperity. lho insurrection . .....

The construction of the buildings for tho Atlanta Kxposition in spite of reports to the contrary, is going right on, and already the old Piedmont Park can scarcely be recognized as the same place. The development of the exposition idea in Atlanta was a won¬ derful bit of work, and the detormina timi of her citizens L going to keep up the work until the gates are ready for i the. spectators and the show'complete, ‘ and „ , then* is no doubt i , that it is . going . i to he a big affair, surpassed possibly in this country in the past only by t’.ie World's Fair at C hicago and the C'on temnal at Philadelphia. Assertions, even though made bv a U'dly responsible paper, are not, | necessarily facts. Especially is this so villi the Macon News in its strictures on our town. Thev are a tissue of falsehoods and the News must be hard tip for copy THE ^lACON PAPERS. The tollowiif'i'appeared in the Macon Xhvk of the Mil uiftt.: “It is said that the drummers boy. •colt Fort Haines just as much as they jiossihlv can on account of the killing of .ludson Hyatt by Turner McAllister. j “The drummers have an fWlm# erw.p over tlu in when tlu*v <*n ter the county scat of < 'lav county, which is only when imperative husi ness forces (hem to do so, and it is said that nearly every drummer on the road i lu,s written a* letter to his firm pro testing against being sent to the town | which 11 vat t lost his life. “Port Haines is situated between two other little towns, ( olemau and IJlutlton. Kaeli is about an hour and a half’s drive from Fort Haines. The with the merehants of die metropolis ‘ ,4 .!p o'it*< wViich is situated it the ter minue »>f the branch of the Central railroad. The majoritv of the travel on this road hav. been hut it is said that this is not so now. The drummers are cleujly in the mi¬ nority "li every train. “Immediately after tile killing of Hyatt McAllister leased 1 1 is hotel to another party. Hi* moved out, of il and began keeping house. 1 he trnv cling men cannot forget, though, that McAllister until recently kept the hotel, even though he does not run it now, and they refuse to stop at if when ihey are forced by the house they resent to visit fort Humes. ••It will lake Fort Haines a long time to become a town in good stand¬ ing with the traveling men. The tin fortunate death of Hyatt slung them all deeply and they will not soon for¬ get it.” The Macon papers, wit hocl show fd right or reason, continue to harp on the unfortunate McAllister-11 yatt ease and to hold up our town and county as objects of contempt and censure to their readers. It is safe to say that no event in any community was ever regretted more than this was by oar people, and the public know that it long and thorough trial was had m the court, and that McAllister was acquitted of the offense with which he was charged, and this should end the matter, bnt it really appears as though the papers of Macon had been waiting for some pretense to lirrug obhapiy upon ns, and having, as they think, found it, continue to de¬ vote column after column to a preju¬ diced discussion of what a jury of twelve of Clay county’s citizens have, b ,• their verdict settled. In their whole¬ sale condemnation of this section, and their strictures on the jury and the out¬ come of the trial, these Solous among newspapers appear to forget that this continuous misrepresentation isa slan¬ der and that they are putting them¬ selves in a position to* be sued for libel by those whom they willfully misrep¬ resent. And why should these papers assert what facts will not prove, when they sav the drummers do not come here any more and avoid our town as though it was a plague spot, when it is well known that in tiro regular ecution of their biisittess as many come here as ever before, , „ and , remain as , long as their , . work , requires, . And : , right . , , hare , believe we we voice ... the sentiment of .. our people , when we sav that we respect such travelling ‘ men as take , an unbiased , aim reason-1 able ... of the question, sensible view * ’ as men should, , and do not wish to sever! \ their .... business connections with us, , but all ,, others who would “boycott ’ * us, as tlie , Macon ,, papers , have it, . defy, ‘ we ami . tnev , take their , sacks * can grip ” 1 else- * where . it tlicv , wish. , \\ e had hoped that after an investi iratiun m the courts, impartial 1 us it could be made, and after a verdict of acquittal by flit* jury, that this sense ^ tirade of abuse would quit, but prejudice, and the lack of other sonsa b ;,s * nu>iv weiglit with some jour U: ^ s Hiau reason and common sense. Rut. as vve have snul,. there is such a thin " as an<1 prosecution for it. and it would he best for the self-insti U censors to find something else to " r *te about, tu else confine themselves to facts. —“I ve got it!

I am going to invent a corn salve and call it the ‘Trilby.’” —There goes a man that acts as if In thought he knows it all.” “No wonder: he 1ms a wife and five grown daughters to keep him posted.” SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING. ■SS.™; it all. Look out for the show window and the cases and counters. When you advertise something of ^,,,,.ial interest in the papers, till the , . . . . >»»ve , it . prominent . ly displayed in the store. Have some neat tickets painted and hung up above m .r ' He , sure the clerks all know what , is . going on. If 1 were running a store I would make the first rule that every dc-rk should read every advertisement '' Vl:, ‘ y di '- v ’ 1 ' voll - (l have lliein under N the goods were and where they came ,rom !,n< l how thev happened to he so ‘ heap m mi good <>i both. The newspaper is sometimes blamed for the ill success of an advertisement when the leal fault is riglit in the store. Don’t expect spasmodic advertising to pay. Don’t ever let an is,sue of a paper you are using appear without your advertisement. The day you leave the ad. out, will probably he the very day on which somebody /, will look for it and, not fiml h to a colll . M . t j tor . J lie last ad. ol a series is ,, the one that sells the goods. A man may see your ad. thirty days hi .Inly and not buy till the thirty-first ad. welds con¬ viction into his mind. It’s the last stroke that makes a horse-snoc—all the others were mere¬ ly preparatory. The shoe was not a shoe till the last blow fell. If that had not been given, it would only he a semblance of a shoe—-mere¬ ly a bent piece of iron. A sale is secured by the last word that is spoken—by the last ad. tly/tt is read. If it remained unspoxen or unread the sale would often fail en¬ tirely. Advertising is insurance of business, but you must keep up the premiums or the policy will lapse.
