THE ALLIANCE EXCHANGE.
Letter From F.-wldent Fel ’! C*r-
nut.
Cavb Spring, Ga., Aug. 26,1889.
B. N. Barrow, Esq., Griffla, Ga.
Drab Sie— Repljing to your favor
24th inst., would say that letters
have been addressed to every city in
Georgia. Griffin by this time no
doubt to in receipt of atopy of same.
The great benefit to any city to its
trade and the advertisement which it
will tarnish. We have 2061 alliances,
and every member of these alliances,
scattered throughout Georgia, will
feel that he has a certain degree of
ownership in the place selected, and
will speak of it tat that manner to
him it will soon become the chief city
of the State and he wifi induce hto
home merchant to trade there. The
Exchange will issue several thousand
bnletins weekly, or oftener if necessa¬
ry; these will setforth the place select¬
ed of course and will further adver¬
■
tise it. The Exchange proposed ‘
handle only heavy goods. It to e
to believe thatiatt orders crodieryx will contain
more or law dry goods, tin
ware, clothing, flue shoes for women
and children, drugs and many oiber
articles which the Exchange wPl not
handle. AU these will have to be
bought out and aU sales or purchas¬
es being mads for cash, will very
much ewe" the amount of that clasa
of tirade. It to not over estimating
it when I say that should Griffin se¬
cure it, it w>'l quadruple her trade
provided proper wholesale fsc' rties
be afforded. It to in this way as Well
ae in her importance and the increas¬
ed number of her visitors and promi¬
nence generally tbst the city selected
will be bene fitted. Start the ball to
rolling and if yon should secure it, it
will be worth to you many times
what the station to.
Very truly yours,
Felix Cokput.

snowflakes chase each other before

i, most abased, and moat
courted character fa pabltolile to-day
to the newspaper reporter.
The true reporter is not “a rising
young jouraal’st,’’ but is a live, ear¬
nest, active and devoted newspaper
Sited onto'do from ta *the
morning till 8 o'clock the next, and
Can etfck on another hour or so at
each end of the day if the occasion
requires.
The reporter to thoroughly good-
natured. He never harbors malice,
and wiB listen good-naturedly to a
itute ward politician who declares he
to always misrepresented in the pa¬
per, and will smite complacently at
the statement that a reporter couldn't
tel* the troth with a rest.
Many psopte do not discriminate
between toe doty of the reporter and
that of the editor. They think it to
the duty Of the reporter to p *aise or
condemn, and that the report erf any
public occurrence to an evidence of
toe sentiment of the paper in retor-
ence thereto. The province of the
reporter to simply tp report what
transpires. The voice of the paper
to bear through its editorial col¬
umns. The reporter usually tries to
present things *» tneir best light,
and writes down nangh i '» malice.
Without endorsing * cockfight, he
writes it up accurately ; telling of
broken legs, eyes pierced, brains
crazed, and birds butchered, and
leaves the matter in the hands of
those whose duty it to to deal with
such things. If detailed to report a
sermon he would try just as hard to
make the report interesting, even if
the material was less exciting.. The
reporter to thoroughly democratic in
hto life, no line of social caste, politi¬
cal or religious divisions restricting
hto field of labor.
He interviews the prisoner in his
cell, the prosecuting attorney at hto
desk, the judge on the bench; he
bears the murderer’s story from hto
own lips, and writes down the dying
statement of hto victim; he details
tiiedrunken affray in the brothel and
reports the church conference; he
writes up the proceedings in the di¬
vorce court, and hurries to the mar.
nage altar to congratulate the bride
and groom; he depicts the scene of
destitution in the beggar’s hovel,
ind hurries into his dress suit to re¬
port the leading society event of the
season; he ehroricles the arrival of
his friend’s first-born, and writes the
obituary of the oldest inhabitant.
“With malice towards none and
charity for all," he pokes his pencil
into eve-y public assemblage and
private gathering; he is on band at
tte race course, and firei in Ms pew
n hear the preacher denounce the
proflgacy of the age and the sin of
betting and horse-racing; he is early
at the political gathering, and punct¬
ual at the school commencement; he
to on the ground in a riot, and occu¬
pies a conspicuous place in the peace
congress; he deals kindly with the
“drunk and disorderly," and reports
fully the temperance convention; he
reports a prize fight, and hurries to
a meeting of the Y. M. c. A. He may
be eaid to be “first in war, first
peace,” but not in the hearts of bis
countrymen.
But if not beloved, the reporter to
courted. Hecomeshigh,butwemust
have him. It matters not wbat the
entertainment, may be, the reporter
is a necessary adjunct to its success
Because how are your friends to
know it was “the most elegant affair
of the season’’ if the reporter does
not let them know through the col¬
umns of the morning paper? How
are the people to know that the act¬
ing of Miss Smith as Parthenia, in
the private tbeatrioals at the palatial
residence of her wealthy parents, was
equal to Mary Anderson, and that
in the role of Ingomar young Mr.
Jones was a revelation, even to his
most intimate friends, who were
wholly unaware of the latent genius
within him, unless the reporter, with
hto enchanted pentil, furnishes the
open sesame to the popnlar ear.
A public meeting to called to act
upon some important matter. A half
dozen people respond. As a public
meeting the thing to a flat failure,
but the few assembled go ahead and
pass resolutions. Then and there the
thing would end in a hopeless farce
did not the reporter come in with hto
invigorating pencil and leaving out
of the report those who attended, re¬
fer in enthusiastic language to those
who were there, and tell what a solid
foundation the movement is on, what
earnestness was manifested by Mr.
Blank and Mr. Brown, and the great
unanimity with which the resolutions
were passed. He has not misrepre¬
sented anything. He has simply
omitted to state that the people who
were deeply interested in the move¬
ment did not even kid their presence
ta reduced to the min-
. #
Tb’s to not lying, nor to it mtorep-
reeentacion. It to simply spreading
energy, enthusiasm and public
of a few men over the rest of the
in a way they cannot
have the opportunity to do by pev-
sonal contact, aud it to putting
the beet ®*d© instead of the
worst. Many enterp toes which else
would have been st' 1 born, have
been called by the reporter into vig¬
orous life, and grown into great pub¬
lic benefactions. Few new enterprises
or public undertakings can be shown,
to which the work of some faithful re¬
porter has not largely contributed.
And yet It to almost a# itzai'ew as
that of the umpi e, who, ! * he decides
right,’gets nopratoe for doing simply
what be ought to have done, and if
he decides wrong to ur 'versal’y cuss¬
ed out. The reporter can do good
work for a month and nobody w "l
ever say aword to him; he w’i make
some little ir ah a hero for the day,
and the liU'efe’low will take it sim¬
ply as a matter of course and
fe^called oil to say: ‘I a]
your k'sdnes*:” but the repo
accidentally gets Ms initiate wr<

Most people deV'are that a reporie
prints everything he beare, but i* the
average :• oorcer was to pr’nt one-
ha’f the tirivgs he knows about the
people in hto city—n retrain om
fo-esbadowieg the consequences. By
the very reason of the position he
holds, be is made the depository of
unnumbered s crate. Your enemy
tells him all the mean things he
knows about you '». the hope that
he w’l? sometime print them, and
you tell him eve -v scrape you get
into, and beg b'mnot to print it.

It does not tat e the reporter tang to
sprt ubese fallows and keep up w'tu
their discoveries. Then again tbe
police—cnese quiet fe’Jows who live
on the streets night and day—areal-
ways in with the reporter. The po.
liceman looks to a casual observer
as if be never saw anything. But he
to fooling you. The poticemau has
got sense like a-end mute. He sees
everything and keeps up with your
little escapades. The man that the
police don’t know anything about
that can’t be published is leading a
circumspect existence.
But your secrets are sate with the
reporter. Thougn the average man
doesn’t bel'eve it, tbe reporter has
hto share of discretion, and while he

he does not talk a great deal himself.
