A-.B^eProprietorA OUR CONGRESSMAN. HIS NEW BILLS AND WHAT IS SAID OF THEH. Seeking to Believe Farmers aud Others From the Effects of Evil Laws, Special to the News. Washington, Jan. 9.— A groat deal is said about the necessity of keeping old and experienced members in Con gress, and the representative from your district, Hon. John D. Stewart, is watched the more closely because of his having succeeded a gentleman of such recognized ability and expe rience as Hon. N. J. Hammomj. But here, as is said to be the case at his home, the better Judge Stewart is known—and he is a gentleman dem ocratic in bis ways and easy of ac cess—the more liking and respect is had for him. And an examination of his course tends to the belief that possibly a new member may make up iu a more immediate knowledge of the wants of his people and a more determined effort to supply them, for that experience and long service which inevitably tends toward sel fishness and carelessness. A new broom sweeps clean, is a saying which originated in derision; but what housekeeper does not want a new broom and a consequent clean sweep occasionally? Anyhow, Cob Stewart is making a good impression hete as an active and judicious mem ber, and the new bills which he has prepared are attracting more atten tion than those of the majority of congressmen; and better than all, with that attention comes universal ly favorable comment. Mis bill allowing national banks to loan money on real estate, which they are now prohibited from doing, has already been fully mentioned, I believe, in your columns, and is a matter of relief toward that most op pressed of all classes, the Southern farmer, and next to him the Western farmer, which should receive the early attention of congress and the active support of Southern and West ern congressmen. Judge Stewart is a strong and out spoken revenue reformer, the News voicing his sentiments and not that prodigy of inconsistency, the Atlanta Constitution, which so arrogantly, and often so mistakenly, affects to control the fifth district of Georgia. Bat like all Southern congressmen, he is alive to the defects aDd cruel ties of the internal revenue laws and desires to see the objectionable fea tures expurgated. Today he intro duced a bill in this line which may be thus briefly stated: It requires the Circuit Court to appoint one United States commisioner in each county, and will prohibit arrests without warrant for violations, or al leged violations, of the internal reve nue laws by marshals,. deputies or others, except in cases where persons are caught in the act or while en deavoriug to escape. The destruc tion or mutilation of stills is strictly prohibited under penalty. All war rants must be returned before the commissioner, and where, for any cause, there is no commissioner in the county, then before a commis sioner in the adjoining county. Pen alty for violations by seizing officers of either of these provisions, is fixed at not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars. Judge Stewart says he “would pray with ’em all night,’’ before he would consent to tbe passage of a bill which professed to relieve tbe burdens of the people and was a living mockery of their hopes. Judge Stewart’s Southern prison bill has cost him great labor. He has submitted it for inspection and suggestions to the Attorney General and it may undergo some slight changes before it is introduced. Judge Stewart has struck bis forte in being placed upon tbe judiciary committee. Of this committee the correspondent of the Louisville Cou rier Journal says-. ‘*It is composed of the best legal talent in (be House. Judge Culberson, chairman of the committee, is regarded by those who know him best as possessing one of tbe best judicial minds of any mem ber of tbe body. Tbe new members of the committee, Glover, of Missou ri, Henderson, of North Carolina, Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, Stewart, of Georgia, Caswell, of Wisconsin, Adams, of Illinois, Faller, of Iowa, ?re all strong men and able lawyers." With my personal acquaintance with Judge Stewart, I predict that his suggestions in this committee will prove invaluable, since bis judicial mind and knowledge of the law will lend them great weight.

An advertisement ef tbe present day, as a rule, is a model of clears ness, precision and compactness. In fact, quite a degree of pleasure can be derived from the perusal of it, aside from the important informa¬ tion which it oftimes couveys. In ingenuity, the modern adver> tisement is remarkable; in fact, it is frequently a work of art, both in a Kterary and typographical sense. The aim of the advertisers in many cases seems to be to draw the atten¬ tion of the reader from the fact that it is an advertisement. While not taking rank ataong wbat may be termed literary productions, it pos¬ sesses many of their brightest fea¬ tures. In the hands of a master workmen, bo be advertiser, writer or compositor, the matter becomes at tractive to the most casual reader. The latter’s attention is drawn toward it, and his interest in it aroused be fore he is fully aware of the fact. The old style of merely puffing one’s merchandise has passed ont of date. The reading and purchasing public of to-day demand something stronger and better. That this want is recognized and appreciated by the keen advertiser and equally alert public is apparent to almost every one Tt e fact is, advertising has be come such an integral part ol modern business that it is almost impossible to carry on any kind of trade or traf fic without its aid. It is well known that many concerns pay large salaries to skilled writers whose only employ mentis tbe invention and the fram ing of attractive and telling adrsr tisements. Thousands of dollars are ar nually expended simply in putiug tbe mat ter in shape, and many millious more for its publication in the press. The firm who can express in clear, strong and econcise language, set in attractive form of display, just what it has to offer, at once attracts tke mer chant as well as the consumer. No merchant can now wholly de pend for business upon the fact of bis being well known to the trade. No matter how many years he may have been established, or how l imit iar bis name is to the purchasing pub lie, or how celebrated bis wares are, if he does not advertise and keep do ing so in s<-rne way, buyers a::., con susners will in time ignore him and visit and tr l ie with the competitor who sounds his trumpet upon on all occasions to the extent of thousandsof dollars a year, and pays the same without murmur because it pays him to do so.—[Dry Goods Review.

DOLLS ! ★ TOYS ! dr GAMES ! awlldm The Dime Craze. A new craze which is said to be exceedingly popular among North erners at this time, is that of saving up every dime which may come to band iu change. The Northern peo pie have long had tbe habit—and a very good one it is—of saving up their coppers and nickles and dimes, and, doubtless, many of them are in debted to it for their wealth, for there is much truth in the old Scotch saying, “Take care of the mickle, and the mukcle will take care of itself.** A gentleman who tried the new craze relates his experience with its workings. When he concluded iO give it a trial he had in his pockot four silver dollors and a 25c. piece. With the 25c. he paid for a morning paper, getting in change two dimes, which he put in bis vest pocket for safe keeping. At noon he bought a 30c. lunch ahd received in change a 50c. piece and two dimes. Then, as was his enstom, he indulged in a nickle cigar, handing over tbe 50c and receiving back 25c. and two dimes. Here were six dimes, or G0c.. to go into bis savings bank at home, and by the purchaee of another cigar two more went in bis vest pocket be fore night. He had spent 45c. dur ing the day and laid by 80c. He be gan tbe habit because it was the rnl iDg craze, but the dimes piled up so fast that it became fascinating, and now be describes himself as being a “miser with dimes.“ The dime craze is tbe most sensi bio one that has been started in many years. It is traveling South ward, and when it reaches this sec tion it ought to be welcomed and made popular. He Likes to Ride. John Tyler, who formerly lived in Cabins district, has moved to town.
