It seems surprising to think of a

yet there are several business houses

have been at it for years and they

has always been a tremendous ad¬
vertiser. He spent thousands of dol¬
lars recently to advertise his London
engagements alone. He has always
said that his newspaper advertising
paid him best, and that posters and
circulars simply benefltted him by
iliustrating.what had already blen
said in the newspapers. It is signifi¬
cant that this is the verdict of all

Capt. Boynton May Visit Griffin.
The News and Sun has received a
letter from Lowell C. Jones, manager
of Capt. Paul Boynton, making in¬
quiries with a view to giving a series
of entertainments in this city. Capt.
Boynton's aquatic entertainments
are famous the world over, and this
year many odd, novel and entertain¬
ing features have been introduced,
nmongthem an exciting and spectac¬
ular naval combat, illustrating
torpedo warfare, boat races and polo
games by experts while standing
upright on the surface of the water
in the new patent waler shoes, log
rolling by champions, professional
and amateur boat and swimming
races. Wallace Ross, the famous
oarsman, will have charge of the
boating department.
It has been suggested that Corbin’s
pond would be a good place for the
entertainment, the minimum space
of water required being 200x200
feett Tbe pond has a maximum
depth of about fifteen feet.
It might be a good idea for our
amusement managers to secure this
attraction for the 4th of J uly.

An Interesting Decision
A decision of interest touching the
liability of sleeping car companies
forloBS ofjjiprsonal effect* of passen¬
gers was lately rendered by the Su¬
preme Court of Nebraska. The court
said: “A passenger on entering a
sleeping car as a guest—because that
i3 what he is in fact—necessarily
must tuke his ordinary wearing
apparel with him and some articles
for convenience, comfort or necessity.
The articles, when placed in the care
of the combany’s employes, are at
the company’s risk. The liability of
inn keepers is imposed from consid¬
erations of public policy as a means
of protecting passengersagainstthe
negligence and dishonest practices of
the innkeeper and his servants. The
porter meets the traveler at the
door and takes whatever articles h#
may have with him. He waits upon
him and the other passengers in the
car so long us they remain therein.
The traveler is not required to 8ft in
in his seat during the day, but may,
if he so desires, go forward into the
other cars of the train, and at sta¬
tions may go out on the platform.
His property is left in the custody of
the company, which is liable for its
safekeeping.”

Across In At-
■ Day
While M . WsiMyfSRSS
in Atlanta a few days qgo,
In company with a half doten promi
nent Democrats, the subject of
papers was sprung by one of them
a cool beaded Simon Pure, who can¬
not brook a half-hearted advocacy
of Democratic ideas.
Said he, “If there in one thing that
Atlanta needs worse than another
(and she needs some things mighty
bad) it is an honest Democratic
morning newspaper—one that is not
owned by protectionists and monop¬
olist*, one that is in sympathy with
the masses, one that will employ no
ex-officers of negro regiments to
write its editorials, for it is known
that tbe Constitution has on its edi¬
torial staff such material. Pretty
thing is he, to write editorials for
even a pretended Democratic paper,
who twenty-five years ago invaded
the sanctity of southern homes, at
tbe head of a column of negro,
soldiers, and insulted oar women
and children, and after looting their
houses, fired them.”.
“What seems to be the chance to
start a decent, full-fledged Demo¬
cratic sheet,” we asked.
“Oh, it is good. The money is the
least object. The project has been
frequently spoken of and would have
been inaugurated but for the tower¬
ing influence of the late Mr. Grady.
The projectors of the new enterprise,
were always sure of a warm support
by the masses, but they could not
get an editor who could handle the
peerless Grady. Now, all this thing
is changed. The paper is practical¬
ly without a head. There are five
hundred tneu in Atlanta who can
turn down the present management
of the Constitution; it is exceedingly
weak and impuissant, with strong
protection tendencies, a thing that
does not go with the laboring classes.
The Constitution has reached the
zenith of its fame; with Henry Grady
sleeps its grandest achievements.”
“Doesn’t the Constitution exert a
powerful influence on the politics of
the state ? Isn’t she the maker of
governors, United States Senators,
Congressmen and less political
lights ?” we ventured to ask.
Formerly she was at the head of
the Atlanta Ring, and made and
unmade statesmen at will. In her
might she lorded it with a high band
and brow beat her opponents with
relentless fury; she flagilated the
country press unmercifully, and call¬
ed them Bcurriflous names. But this
colossus was doomed to fall and she
fell. A young giant sprang into ex¬
istence right at her door. The peo¬
ple took the vigorous bantling into
their households and nurtured it—
and today, after a brief six years ex¬
istence, that bantling, the Atlanta
Journal, has a greater daily circula¬
tion than any paper in the State.
The Journal, in conjunction with the
state’press, has lessened the influence
of the Constitution by exposing its
methods until today she has not a
following of a corporal’s guard. Why
see how she endeavored to alienate
the state press from Cleveland in
1888; and she bad leBw than a half
dozen papers in the State that fol¬
lowed her protective tariff lead.”
“Well, if she is so badly down at
the heel, politically, why is it neces¬
sary to establish another morning
daily ?”
“Because the people of Atlant want
a reliable tariff reform, Democratic
paper, and theyare going to have it.”
Webade our friend adien, and wish¬
ed him good speed in his desires.
THE C., K. AND 0. ROAD-
The Most Successful of Any New Road
la the South.
The C., R. and C. railroad, in the
two years and a half that it has
been in operation, has had fewer ac.
cidents than any new road in the
South.
In December, 1887, work was
commenced on the road, and in July
1888, the first train ran over the
tire line, a distance of 140 miles. It
was then thought to be dangerous,
as a good portion of it ran through
a low, marshy strip of country, and
being so hastily built it was thought
that it would be some time before
the roadbed would be solid enough
to insure safety. Since that time
from five to six trains have run daily
over the entire line, and not a single
accident that waB serious has occur¬
red. This is all due to the judicial
management of President J. 1). Wil¬
liamson, who has beea very diilgent
in keeping the road in good order.
Several trains besides the regular
section work are kept continually
employed repairing the roau ,vaere
it is needed.
The road promises to be in the
near future one of the most popular
and best paying in the South. Pres¬
ident J. D. Williamson, who is now
jn New York on railroad business,
expects to extend this road to
Columbus, Atlanta and 1 " various
other points intersecting and connect*
ing with roads from Florida, Ala.
bama and tbe West, making through
lines between those points and Chat-*
§®i
of several
road* in Sooth Georgia, Alabama
and Florida, and in a few years, by
his enterprise and energy, he will
have one of the greutest railroad
systems in the South.—- (Tribune of
