THE GEORGIA PRESS ] A GREAT FACTOR Weekly Editors Really Bear More Than Their Share Burdens. Hon. H. M. Stanley, Commis sioner of Commerce and Labor, I pays the Georgia state press a great compliment, and shows especially the great work being done by the weekly press. Mr. Stanley says: “I would not detract one thing ) from the daily press of Georgia. 5 I believe that Georgia is peculiar ly and particularly blessed with a daily press that will compare favorable with any newspapers published anywhere, but I believe when one speaks of the expan sion and development of Georgia I along material, moral and educa tion lines and wishes to give credit where credit is deserving, he must lift his hat to the week . ly press. “Although poorly paid at times, * unappreciated by those he seeks to aid; oftentimes criticised un justly and praised grudgingly; the packhorse, when there is a very hard pull ahead; rarely a sharer in any profits that accrue t > landowners, the bankers, the merchants or the manufactur ers who are greatly benefited by his work; uses when he can serve and discarded and forgotten when evil days come upon him, the weekly editor of Georgia is re markably sweet of disposition, active in promoting the best in terest of his company, intelligent . in directing any movement that I has for its purpose the upbuilding \ of the section in which he lives, unselfish in his labors and de serving of more consideration at / the hands of the public. In my judgment the commercial and in -1 dustrial development of Georgia is indissolubly linked with the fortunes of those who are classed 1 as country editors, and no arti cle dealing with such a subject \ would be complete unless due A tribute is paid to the country press. “Although the printers and publishers of Georgia rank only | sixth, figuring as to the amount of money invested, his profession ranks first in importance and first in the relative sum paid to of ficials and employees. The in vestment amounts to only $4,732,- 237 in Georgia and yet in salaries to officials and wage-earners, the enormous sum of $2,361,332 is expended annually. No other profession, business or industry pays any such percentage, or even approximately so. Think |of it! Annually the newapapers and printing plants of Georgia pay in salaries a sum equal to 49 per cent of the money invested. “This goes to prove what I have previously stated that there is no class so unselfish as those who preside over the newspapers of Georgia. “Georgia is great now, but with the forces at work for a greater Georgia, the time is not far distant when this state will take her place as the foremost in the union and the newspapers of Georgia will perhaps then be rec ognized for their true value and paid accordingly.’' Monument to Memory of Brave Joe Johnson Dalton, Ga., Oct. 24.—The first monument erected to the * memory of Gen. Jos. Jos. E. Johnson, C. S. A., was unveiled here today by Miss Suesylla Thomas, grand-daughter of the late Gen. B. M. Thomas. The j funds for the monument were i raised by members of the Tho mas Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy. It was de-; signed by Miss Belle Kenny of j Nashville, Tenn. The presenta- j tion address was made by State ! Senator M. C. Tarver. Address es of acceptance were made by S. P. Maddox and J. F. Harris. Reading the Newspaper. Some men complain that they have not time to read the news papers. They make a great mis take. The day’s news in the most marvelous stimulant that can be found. Some women rarely read the papers. As girls they never form ed the habit. As grown house wives they value a broom more than a page of human history. Society gossip or glaring accounts of a calamity they manage to read it, if their next-door neigh bor does not gossip too long over the telephone. All bright-minded children can be induced to pick up the news paper habit. They need a bit of guidance as to scandals, as they need to be told not to paddle in the mud after a shower. Point out to the lad the seat of war in Tripoli. That makes live geo graphy. If he will read of the current reconstruction in Turkey he will know, without consulting public libraries later on, how the history of his times was construc ted. Aged people live too much in the past. To prolong the vitality of the aged, get them all the daily news. If their fond old eyes are failing, then yon can do them no greater service than when you say: “I have come in, grandma, to sit by your chair and read aloud the newspaDer to you. ’’ Do young people realize what an invaluable service this is? The free press is, take it all in all, the highest prize of a free state. We do not stop long enough to confess it. We ought to weigh it, ought oftener than we do to rightly value this costly machine, the daily press. It is not too much to say that nothing ever did or ever will come into the poor man’s home that stands for so much expended energy as the newsnaper, which he may light ly, perhaps, toss upon the floor. New York Mail. Running a Country Weekly. Men who purchase small coun try weekly newspapers not in frequently have a desire to roll up their sleeves and to do the work, says the New York Tri bune. Such a man, a Scotchman, was recently mentioned by E. W. Miller of Ottawa, 111., when a crowd of writers were relating experiences they had had. This man, according to Mr. Miller, turned to the managing editor— who went down to the editorial room at 8 o’clock every morning, by the way, wrote out the as signments for the day and then went out to cover them—and said he had noticed a column of “wee bitjokies” in other papers, and thought it would be well if his new paper carried such a column. “But where,” he asked, “can I get a mon to write ’em?” The managing editor suggested that the owner, being Scotch, write such a column himself. “Ah,” said the owner, “I ken I’m a bit brisk o’ the pen. I can write up the wee bit birth notices, and the wee bit deaths, and the wee bit marriages, but the wee bit jokie—mon, thot’s dif-feerent. I can write bonny, but I joke wi’ great deeficulty!” Quick Retort Pleases Judge. United States Judge Emory Speer, the Southern district of Georgia, recently had before his court a typical Georgia mountain eer on a charge of illicit distil ling, says the Philadelphia Rec ! ord. “What’s your name?” demand ed the judge. “Joshua, jedge,” drawled the j prisoner. “Joshua, who made the sun stand still?” smiled the judge, jin amusement at the laconic answer. “No, sir. Joshua who made ■the moonshine,” answered the quick-witted mountaineer. And it is needless to say that Judge Speer made the sentence 1 as light as he possibly could.
