A QUESTION OF GROWTH.
There Ate very few towns which
grow so fasttbftt they cannot cere
for t ho people who move to It. Yet
that Is precisely the condition of
Amerlcus to-day, and blda fair to
be her condition one year hence
unless active measures are taken to
provide houses for the hundreds
who are moving here.
For year a aud year« The Re-
coupe it has talked for, and boomed
and blowed, and advertised Amer
lcus, aud during those years held, nn d address,
its faith «n Amerlcus while others
condemned her to the “demuitiou
bow-wows,” or other classical
places. That The Recouped was
justified lu Its faith is evidenced by
the great Influx of people lu the
past twelve months.
No place can become a great city
uulcss It’s people will act together.
To attract other people to it a place
must be advertised, no matter bow,
but advertised. Believing in this,
Tub Recobder acted upon Its be
lief, aud spent many hundreds of
dollars of It’s owu montv in judio-
ously placing advertising matter.
In this respeot It waa liberally sup
ported by tbs city council and the
business men of Amerlcus. And,
though few people may believe It,
Ame/Icus Is yet reaping tho bene
fits of this advertising. Advertis
ing, whether of a town or a busi
ness, to be elTeotivo, must bo done
thoroughly, and must be kept up.
You would not believe, If told once,
that auothorclty was a bettor place
—trllvtf In than Amerlcus. Certain
ly not. But If you were told so
onde a week or once a month, and
proof of the fact fuinlshed you, lu
spltoof your love for your own
place, It would compel you to make
comparisons. If the advertiser suc
ceeds In getting you to visit his
4»lace, »«d can make a favorable
impression,'half tho battle is won.
The seed is sown—lime will do tho
reaping and, ir the town has half
what Is claimed for It, In another
year or two yon w ill
This is but an ^UamdttTdn of
what advertising It must
day, and
week byjtelP^PTt’s claims must
Keep these
jfore the people—get them
to visit you, treat them well, and
time will do the rest.
GOVERNOR NORTHEN.
. Gov. Northen’s Inauguration was
a most auspicious one, and his ad
dress a plain aud practical state
ment of what tho State most needs.
That the farming portion of the
people are aroused on the question
of education l* evident, as iu every
BETTER SCHOOLS.
Thb Recorder Is pleased to see
a disposition on the part of tbe
Governor and the legislature to in
crease the efficiency of thy public
school system of the HtatO, Gov.
Northen very pertiueully akysthat
the public s-bools must be made
more efficient, or they should be re
manded to the case of private indi
viduals. The fact is, the public
school system of Georgia is a public
shame. Tills very limited term
and the poor pay of teachers bus
made our public schools little more
than ft farce.
That the people are begluumg t<r
realize this fact Is evidenced by tbe
fact that already there h
crease the term to six mouth*, atui
.in the Senate a bill to lucre ish the
term to eight months.
Georgia has led all the other
Southern States In progress, and it
is to be hoped that she will come to
the front Iu the matter of public
schools

HON. C F. CRISP.
From tho Athena Banner.
The newspaper world Is now ag- j
Hating the question of who will
succeed dictator Reed as speaker, j
At present there is no unanimity of j
sentiment on Oils question, but the j
major part of the democratio organs
are favorable to Crisp, of Georgia. ^
He, wo believe, will be chosen to |
preside over the legislative sessions, j
having evinced parliamentary tact i
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
FOIl TAX RECEIVER.
t CORONER.
Ho proved himself able to cope j .. y f t |.
with Reed Iu ills high-handed j
measures, crushing despoti-m by j
the weight of his determined per-j
sonalily, aud surpassing the stub- | * ,r JJ
born despot In the use of skillful i ^-r coni
expedients. n» <iep
We firmly believe that Crisp Is j auhject
the choice of democratic sentiment ,l “"
of the house as Ik stood during the
past session, but its composition is
so entirely different that it Is a dif
flcult matter to determine who will
occupy this honorable and coveted
position.
LITERARY NOTES.
An article of much practlole value
on “The Care of the Eyes In Youth,”
by the well-known oculist, Dr.
George 8. Norton, will appear in
tho Supplement to Harper’s Young
People for November 4th.
Freedom Trlumphaut is the title
of the fourth and final volume of
Charles Carleton Coffin’s history of
the civil war for young readers. It
will be published In November by
Harper and Brothers.
Rudyard Kipling is the new star
that Is at present attracting the
gaze of the readihg world. A clever
aud dfsoriminatlug essay upon this
young genius and his work has
been prepared by Julian Hawthorne
for the October dumber of Lippiu-
cott’s Magazine.
FOR SHERIFF.
First, that not one of the men
whom the people of Georgia hon
ored and trusted asftheir represent
atives in cougress failed to condemn
the aub-treasury bill as unwise,
though In doing so-they condemned
themselves, In most cases, to the
loss of their valuable offices. Were
they selfish enemies of the farmers!
—Macon Telegraph.
The Telegraph must be mistaken.
Judge Crisp did not condemn the
sub-treasury bill as unwise.
