Would you consider that this newspaper was well
managed if it issued according to the mood of its publish
srs instead of at regular, stated and invariable intervals?
Would you think it a good newspaper if it printed
at welve-page issue at one time and a one-page hand-bill
nat aother time ?
Would you feel that it was serving its constituency

to resume at some time when the publisher felt inclined t
Your store serves your patrons with store news
through its advertising. They assume that there is
always store news worth telling—store news that is
important to them.
Is it not poor policy lor a store, as it would be for a
newspaper, to serve its patrons in a spasmodic, undepend
able way? If your store is important to the people of
'he city, your advertising is important to them all the
ime—-not merely now and then.
The size of vour advertising should not vary any
than the size of a newspaper varies, and the appear
ance of your advertisement should be as frequent and
Aguiar as the appearance of this newspaper.

TRIP A GREAT SUCCESS
SAYS MR. G. L. WILLIAMS
Americus Man Spends Two
Months East
Mr. G. Lester Williams returned Lo
Americus, his home, a day or two ago
after having spent two months in the
north in the interest of his valuable
patent, a fully perfected machine for
rolling and measuring laces and em
broidery.
The machine is Mr. Williams’ own
invention and is declared by merchants
and experts generally to excel any
ether machine designed for the pur
pose.
Since leaving Americus, Mr. Wil
liams has exhibited his patent in a'l
of the larger cities of the north and
east and everywhere meeting with suc
cess even beyond his expectations.
Many wholesale and retail merchants
in the north will adopt it.
“I knew my patent was all right,
but I scarcely expected the success I
met with in presenting it to the trade,
said Mr. Williams. ‘‘Everywhere I
went with it, merchants and dealers
generally declared it the best they had
ever seen.”
Mr. Williams will have his device
manufactured in one of the cities of
the west upon a large scale, and will
soon be in position to supply the ge s
eral trade. His patent is protected by
copyright in every nationality in Eu
rope.
“While In the north and west I could
but compare the highways with those
of Sumter county,” said Mr. Williams,
diverting for a moment from his in
teresting story of his patent and the
success he has achieved.
“Our roads are not only much wider
but are far better than many miles of
the best roads over which I traveled
in the middle west and in the New
England states.”

THIRTEEN CENTS
STILL THE PRICE
Market Was Weaker at the
Close
Americus, Ga, Sept. 18. —The local
market opened firm today on an ad
vance of twenty points in futures, and
the finer grades readily brought 13
cents, with liberal offerings upon the
part of holders. Later in the day the
market declined sharply, with 12 3-4
cents the best offering for good mid
dlings.
The local market was quoted as fol
lows :
Good middling 12 3-4 to 13c
Middling 12 1-2 to 12 5-Se
Bales
Receipts at Ainerieus.

New York Cotton.
New York, Sept. IS. The cotton
market made new high records for the
season at the opening today on a re
newal of yesterday’s buying move
ment, strengthened by crop damage
reports. First prices were 9 to 15-
points higher, with December con
tracts selling at 13.40.
There was heavy realizing by both
local and southern longs around the
initial figures and prices eased off 3
or 10 points, but there \yas a good deal
of fresh buying and bullish sentiment
seemed to be strengthened by bulliso
private cables.
After selling off 12 to 15 points
from the best under the early realiz
ing, the market firmed up again to
ward midday, on continued bull sup
port, with prices ruling about 6 to 7
points net higher.
Receipts today 40,000 bales.
Prospects for better weather in the
south and predictions of increasoJ*
spot offerings, encouraged some sell
ing for a reaction during the early
afternoon. After easing off to about
the closing figures of yesterday,
however, the market again steadied
up on reports «f higher southern spot
markets, with active months ruling
about 6 to 8 points net higher.
