HOW THE SOUTH IS HURT.;
From the Atlanta Constitution.
“The other day a Confederate monu
ment was dedicated at Clarksville, Tenn.
The shaft is of marble, but It did not
come from the quarries of East Tennes
see, Georgia or Alabama. It came from
fir off Vermont.
Commenting on this fact, the Birming
ham Age-Herald says:
The South furnishes the heroes and the North
the marble to commemorate their bravery.
Henry Grady once wrot*up a funeral, a«.dcalled
attention to the Act, that the coffin was made
of Maine pine, the nails of Pittsburg iron, and
the cloth from New England looms—all that
Georgia furnished was the corpse and the hole in
the ground. There is certainly no need to eend
north for marble, when the south alwunds in
marble «f the finest quality. The Washington
monument was erected of marble from the dif
ferent States, and when Alalama’s block arrived
the superintendent rejected it, saying that It
was Italian marble; but it was from the marble
quarries (tf Talladega.
It Is the same old story, We bare u
large class of people among us who want
the northern trade mark on everything.
When manufacturing industries in the
South send their goods to market, many
purchasers drop them like hot potatoes
when they leatn that they are home
products, and stralghway hunt up some
thing no better and no cheaper from a
New England or New York factory.
The policy is carried to auch an absurd
extreme that at a time when our southern
marble is admitted by experts to be equal
if not superior to the northern output,
find T<
mont for material used’in a Confederate
monument.
It is about time for us to prove to the
outside world that we produce something
besides corpses and holes in the ground,
and that our home products arc In de
mand among our own people. We talk
at>out public spirit ana patriotism, but
the best and most profitable sentiment
that wc could have would be a strong
local pride that would lead our people to
always give the preference to products
when they are equal in quality and price
to the goods offered by outside cora^et-
ltO’8.
There is no sectionalism In this. It is
simply taking rare of our own interests.
In a word, its business.
Now take the matter of engraving
Wedding Invitations, Visiting Cards,fine
Society and Business Stationery etc.
Such work ought not be sent north as
long as there is a thoroughly equipped
establishment in the South for their pro
duction. J. P. Stevens & Bro., the well-
known engravers and jewelers, of At
lanta, have such a plant. They duplicate
Northern prices and their samples show
that they nave skilled artists and do the
highest class of work. Thoy arc endeav
oring to establish In the South an Indus
try that is giving employment to South
ern pcople-and ft not only a great con
venience, on account of the greater
promptness with which they con execute
orders, but they are building up a reputa
tion that contributes to our fame and
demonstrates that the South can and
does successfully compete with the North
In this line of artistic work.”

one of the finest equipped plant# In the

than any other house in this country.

The Dream of
Fair Woman Realized
-In the Invention of the-
Martin Improved,
ironing and 6uuing Table.
The Most Useful and Convenient Invention of the Age 1
No lady will do without them after seeing one in use. Iron
ing will be a pleasure with this table, instead of the worry
and trouble with the old style boards.
This table is six feet in length, with hinged leaf 48 inch
es long. The cut above shows leaf partly raised. Plenty of
room on the table for your Irons, Water. Clothes, etc. The
table is also used for cutting and sewing, much better than
lap boards. Can be folded up when not in use.
Because one can be placed in almost every house.
Because of its Convenience and LOW PRICE.
County and State Rights
ForQSale, by STEPHEN C. MARTIN, Patentee.
I sell nothing less than a county. Price, only $6,00 per
1,000 population. Where a number of counties or a State
is purchased, a liberal reduction is made. Price is determ
ined by amount of territory desired. 1 furnish all necessary
blanks, circulars, etc., and when a man buys two or more
counties, he befomes a member of my company throughout
the United States. Should he wish to work in connection
with me that long, I give him a power of attorney to sell any
unsold territory in the U. S. or Canada, and allow him one-
fourth of all sales he may make. Each salesman gets one-
fourth of the money he makes in selling territory. Power of
attorney is always given for thirty days, with privilege of ex
tension. This is done for the protection of each member of
the compony. If you want to be among the successful ones
to handle this popular seller, secure your territory at once.
For further information, apply to
STEPHEN C. MARTIN,
Or his Attorney, V. 0. PADRICK. P. 0. Box W, Tifton, Ga.
Some Who are Using These Tables:
This certifies that I have been using for some time,one of Martin’s Im
proved Ironing and Cutting Tables, and can say they meet every claim
and Ithighly recommend them to any lady having work of that kind to
do. MRS. J. L. KINARD, Tifton, Ga.
I have tested the merits of Marlin’s Improved Ironing and Cutting
Tables, and found them exactly what every family needs. If I could
not get another one, I would not take $21;.00 for mine.
MRS. R. A. LAWRENCE, Tifton, Ga.
This is to certify that I am using one of Martin’s Improved Ironing
and Cutting Tables, and find it to be just as represented, handy, con
venient nnd useful. I highly recommend it to all women who iron.
