It i* a source of genuine pleasure
to he able to give to our sulworihcrs
this week a sixteen page paper,
something heretofore unknown in
the history of our city. ■*
Wc are deeply grateful to our ad
vertisers for their liberal support
and wish them much success and
future prosperity. Did we hear the
doleful voice of the pessimist ex
claiming “Cochran is a graveyard
for newspapers?” Commencing e
leven months ago with a little 4
column paper, not larger than a
common sized pocket handkerchief
and issued from a job press, in the
early part of our career, it seemed
that “the grave was yawning to
receive us; and although we. stood
trembling upon its lirink we were
loth to sink into its We
have turned our hacks upon the
graveyard and placed our face to
wards the rising sou and hope to lie
present at the roll call of South

Mail Order Catalogues
We notice that our town is flooded
with catalogues from mail order
houses of large cities. These con
cerns are constantly importuning
our people to send their money from
home where it will never return,
and to patronize them instead of
our own merchants with whom your
interests and my interests are inter
woven. Beware of the high sound
ing offers in these catalogues. You
make your order not knowing what
quality of goods you are going to
get, and after you pay the express
charges the goods cost you more
than they would at home.
Ido not believe a person with
the proper civic pride, and having
the interest of our city at heart,
will patronize these mail order hous
es without giving our merchants a
chance to sell them.
The welfare of our town depends
upon the unit} - and loyalty of our
people.
It is absolutely astounding at the
amount of “junk” that our people
all over the county receive by ex
press from mail order houses.
Cheap jewelry, brass watches, war
ranted to last twenty years, patent
nostrums, guaranteed to cure every
ill that the human race is heir to.
Cheap phonographs that could be
sold to you just as cheap by our
local dealers, or better still, a su
perior article for the same money.
I have seen men order watches
that were warranted to have ten
year gold filled cases that would
turn black in two weeks after get
ting them out of the express office.
Would it not he infinitely Iwtter for
you to go to your local dealer who
knows what kind of goods he is
selling.
When you buy a watch from a
fake concern in Chicago with a guar
antee of ten years on it, and it
turns black in two or three weeks,
you are simply up against it. But
you know our local dealers can’t
afford to do that kind of business.
We can help build up our city in
many ways, and one good way is hi
be loyal at all times to our home
people.

“Theaphorism, ‘As a man think
eth in his heart, so is he’ not only
embraces the whole of a man’s l>e
ing; hut is so comprehensive as to
reach out to every condition and
circumstance of his life. A man is
literally what he thinks, his charac
ter being the complete sum of all
his thoughts.”
A theory ordinarily promulgated
by psc.vehologists is, “Man is a
growth by law aval not by artifice,
and cause and effect is as absolute
and unerring in the hidden realm
of thought as in the world of
visible and material things.” Nev
ertheless, it seems to us that the
human mind is the most complex
and wonderful of human organ
ism-. Often contradictory within
itself, and posessing a mixture of
vice and virtue incompatible with
reason and incomprehensible to the
average intellect.
Posing before the American pub
lic today as the champion of civic
righteousness and political purity is
one of the most complex and re
markable characters this genera
tion has produced. Strenuous, en
ergetic, intellectual, transcendent,
Tlieo. Roosevelt stands today the
foremost man of his time.
Honored and respected by the
principal rulers of the world; the
popular idol of the American peo
ple. This great man whom it seems
should posess all the cardinal vir
tues, displayed a gross impropriety
by dictating to a l>ody of distinguish
ed American gentlemen as to whom
they should invite to a club dinner,
given in his honor by the aforesaid
gentlemen composing the dub’s
membership, it l>eing his purpose
to exclude a certain United States
senator, who was resting under a
charge of bribery, for which he
had never been tried.
This great man stooped to this
little contemptible act to exclude
Senator Istrimcr from a social club
of which he was a member, and of
which our distinguished ex-Presi
dent was not a member, but only a
guest. This was the heigth of ill
breeding, and equally contemptible
in the club for acceding to his de
mands as it was in the wieldcr of
the big stick for making them.
And then, over in Kansas, our
“rough rider” tells the people:
“John Brown represents
a people and generation who per
formed the greatest service that was
ever rendered to this country, and
was a man of rugged honesty, he
roic principles and lofty ideals.”
Who is this man whom the fore
most citizen of our country lauds
as a representative of a people and
a generatiqp who performed the
greatest service that was ever rend
ered to this country?
History teaches us that he was a
miserable old fanatic, an insurrect
ionist, an outlaw, a murderer, a
traitor to his country, for years a
fugitive from justice and at last,
tried, condemned and hanged at
Charlestown, West Virginia for
murder and treason. A just expi
ation for numberless crimes.
John Brown murdered for
revenge. What did he am} his
sons and their accomplices do at
Oasawatomie, Kanas? Went to the
homes of five settlers under cover
of night, dragged them from their
I usds and murdered them because
they were slave holders. Diabolical
fanatic! Fifty years after the ex
piration of your crimes, here comes
Theodore Roosevelt touring this
country amid the plaudits of ad
miring multitudes, and holding up
your unhallowed memory as an in
spiration to his people.
Many sided Roosevelt,heroic.spec
tacular, inconsistent. When your
character is properly analyzed,
your many transcendent qualities
may be somewhat offset by less
confimendable trait**. Rest assured
that the descendants of Lee, Davis
and Jackson who have long since
clasped hands in friendship and
brotherly love with the descendants
of Lincoln and Grant, will never
recognize John Brown as ‘ a repre
sentative of a people and gener
ation who have rendered
the greatest service ever rendered
this country.”
The North as well as the South
should be ready to repudiate such
sentiments coming from one who is
recognized as one of the leading
men of our country.
The Bicycle
Ordinance
M ayor Wynne has announced, in
a notice to the public appearing in
this week’s issue of the Journal,
that the ordinance forbidding the
riding of bicycles on the side-walks
of the city will be rigidly enforced.
Heretofore this ordinance has
l>een regarded lightly and perhaps
forgotten, especially by the small
boys, who have .lately made a “fad”
of this sport.
Bicycle riding is a healthy and
harmless pastime and we hope to
see it indulged in with strict observ
ance of the city’s ordinance.
We feel sure that the unfortunate
accident of last Monday night will
prove that the ordinance should be
remembered.
Ad. Writing
Valuable Asset
Forty years ago advertising was
not much understood and a great
many business men succeeded with
out it, hut today advertising is a
profession and the ad. writer is one
of the best paid of any of the pro
fessions. A man who can write a
good ad. has the elements of suc
cess in him to a very large degree;
a good ad writer knows what the
people want and how to present it
to them. We would advise any one
who has a talent in this line to cul
tivate it; many Indies are succeed
ing in this profession; their delicate
taste frequently gives them a great
advantage in this line. —Cordele

New York, Sept. 1 0. —At the di
rection of Acting Police Commis
sioner Burgher, who as first deputy
commissioner has charge of the traf
fic squads there was pasted yester
day in every stable where police
horses are kept throughout the city
a neatly printed card bearing a copy
of “The Prayer of a Horse.”
The prayer reads:
“To thee, my master, I offer my
prayer;
“Feed me, water and care for
me, and when the day’s work is
done, provide me with shelter, a
clean, dry lied and a stall wide e
nough for me to lie down in com
fort. Talk to me. Your voice of
ten means as" much to me as the
reins. Pet me sometimes that I
may serve you the more gladly and
learn to love you. Do not jerk the
reins and do notovhip me when go
ing up hill. Never strike heat or
kiek me when I do not understand
what you mean, but give me a
chance to understand .you. Watch
me, and if I fail to do your bidding
see if something is not wrong with
my harness or feet.
“Examine my teeth when I do
not eat. I may have an ulcerated
tooth and that you know is very
painful. Do not tie my head in an
unnatural position or take a way my
l>est defence against (lies and mos
quitoes by cutting off my tail.
“And finally, my dear nia.-ter,
when my useful strength is gone,
do not turn me out to starve or

to death. But do thou my master,
take my life in the kindest way and
your God will reward you here and

Compare Them
If you have never made a com
parison between the prices of a mcr
chant who advertises and, one who
does not advertise, we want you to
do it; you will find that the man
who does not advertise sells his
goods for from ten to thirty per
cent higher than the man who ad
vertises gets for his. If you have
any doubts about tins yuti won’t
have any if you will investigate.
A merchant in Cordele remarked to
the writer that he didn’t advertise
because advertising wasn’t worth
anything unless a mail had bar
j gains to offer and as he was doing
business to make money lie didn’t
j care to sell his goods at bargain
prices.
It is always this way; the man
wh > advertises is satisfied with small
profits became he sells so many
goods ha can afford it.
An advertising man once wentin
! to the store of a merchant who did
| n’t advertise and asked for an ad;
the merchant told him that he nev
er advertised, whereupon the adver
tising man attempted to convince
him that lie needed advertising; he
asked the prices of t-everal articles
and found that they were priced a.
bout twenty per cent higher than
the market value, lie understood
at once why he didn’t need an ad.
To have advertised these prices
would have ruined his business.
Peep in the store of a merchant
who doesn’t advertise and you will
not only find his clerks half asleep
hut you will (ind his prices high.
You make a great mistake to not
trade with the man who advertises.
