Entered at the Postoffice at Covington,
Ga , as Second-Class Mail Matter.
Covington, Ga., May, IS, 1906.
The sweet girl graduate will soon
be here.
Farmers busy—no politics for
them.
Tillman walloped the “Irou > >
m.r.i some.
Covington seems entirely satis¬
fied— with herself.
All democrats are going to vote;
no bluff can stop them.
Tom Loyless is awful quiet these
days. What’s the matter?
Politics ate rather quiet now—
the “craps” are holding sway.
That executive committee has
done its do, let it keep quiet, now
and forever more.
Picnics, barbecues, fish fries are
now in order. So far the editor
lias received no invitations.
L p t us all get ready to see Cov
ington win the pennant, wo are
going to have a crack-er-jack ball
team.
Covir.gton, we understand will
have a new furniture store, there
is loom for another, we welcome
the new firm.
The Howell papers are inad be¬
cause the Smith papers are mad;
that’s all right, the executive com¬
mittee will have an idea given
them on August 22.
Congress seems determined to
cut down the salary of chairman
Shonts, although President Roose¬
velt declared he was cheap at the
price—$30,000 a year.
We hear a great deal from Wash¬
ington about Freight Rate Legis¬
lation, We would rather have less
talk and more voting so we can
see how the now talking senator
stands.
To refuse a paper at the post
office is simply a cowardly way of
insulting the editor and to thus
refuse it when indebted to it only
doubles the insult.—Mansfield
Leader.
The Southern cotton planters,
entirely unprotected by the tariff,
are quite prosperous and are or¬
ganizing to protect themselves
from the protected monolists.
How do the republicans stand¬
patters explain this prosperity of
the unprotected?
The baseball spirit has reached
Covington at last and the fans
may rest assured that with such
men as there are behind the club
we will have some first-class base¬
ball this season. Application for
Charter to have it incorporated has
been filed.
Tbe National City Bank, of New
York—Rockefeller—highly appro¬
ves of the interposition of Secretary
fcbaw with tbe Treasury gold to
4acilitate the bankiug process of
drawing gold from abroad. As
that favored corporation according
to its own statement, “secured a
total r.f some twenty-four mil¬
lions,” without having to pay in¬
terest during transit, it is no won
der that the republican favoritism
is approved.
COUNTY NEWSPAPER AS ADVERTISING MEDIUM.
County newspaper advertising is the cheapest and quickest way
to reach the largest number of people in the shortest possible time.
Every seller of wares wants his goods known from one end of the
country to the other. He wants his goods to be known, that is his
aim in advertising. There are several ways to advertise, there are
many and different mediums through which advertising may be done,
but the surest way to reach the greatest uumber of people in the most
effective way is by the constant use of the county paper.
For anything to stay on the market it must have merit, next it
must be advertised. Its qualities must be made known to all who use
the article sought to be put on the market. The county paper reaches !
a11 the P eo P Ie in the county who do any buying at all. The people
who take the county paper read it, they do not scan it. They read
advertisements with as much interest as they do the reading matter in
many foreign paper. ’Tis strange that the large manufacturing con¬
cerns have not learned the value of the county paper. Most of these
concerns devote their time in trying to sell to the retailer and to do
this they use the columns of the great daily; two birds could easily be
killed with one stone by the use of the columns of the country paper,
for then both retailer and consumer would get the benefit of the ad.
There is a large number of the manufacturers who have never
lived outside of the atmosphere of the factory and who have no con¬
ception of the countryman. They look upon him as a hayseed who
will take anything that the retailer phases to put on him. This is a
mistake-and the sooner the large wholesalers realize this the better
will their sales department show up.
There are several articles now on the market selling fast, simply
because the public are familiar with THAT article. It is not as good
as some new articles, but the manufacturers of the new goods do not
tell the public about its product. The object in all advertising is to
reach the consumer, he’s the man who pays the freight.. Ads in trad¬
ing magaxines are all right, but the ad that counts is the ad that makes
a fellow go up to the counter aud ask for the goods. When you get
>eople to doing that then the goods are going to be delivered by the
retailer.
The retailer is not, for a small profit, going to try very hard to
get a customer to take that which he does not want. He is going to
deliver the goods as they are called tor.
We have in mind several articles now advertised every day in the
arge dailies that are scarcely heard of in the country and yet the
country people use that same article more than any one else.
We do not claim that every ad put in a county paper pays for it¬
self ar.d brings the advertiser in dollars by the barrel, but we do claim
that there are not many people who really have any conception.of the
tremendous pulling power of the county paper as an advertising me
dium.
Remember in this feeble attempt to call attention to the value of
the columns of the weekly press we are not making any claims for
ourselves, but are speaking of the press in general.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
“We far remote from the j
are so
scenes and the causes of journalis¬
tic activity in Georgia, we can
only wish them well,” writes St.
Clair McDelway, editor of The
Brooklyn Eagle, to John Temple
Graves.
This is a queer statement and
must have been made without due
deliberation. Mr. McKelway has
been in the South and has doubt¬
less studied her affairs. He was
recently a member of a large party
of northern people who visited
Tuskegee, Ala., to see Booker
Washington’s school, and, being a
student of social conditions, ought
to have learned some of “the
causes” of journalistic activity in
the South : but the reference is he
does not know, and we will take
him at his word. If other north¬
ern editors would follow Mr. Mc
Kelway’s example and admit their
ignorance of the race question as
he has done that of southern joivr
alistn, much of sectional strife and
bitter feeling would be avoided.
That there is unusual activity in
southern journalism is lieyoud
doubt. Newspapers are springing
up on every hand, and these and
the older papers show that there
is some of the best talent in the
land engaged in their publication.
It is easy to see the causes of these
journalistic enterprises, among
which are material development,
the public school system, and the
interest in politics.
***
Politics especially. All the pa¬
pers take an interest in politics
whether state, national, or local.
The big dailies can’t keep from
expressing themselves plainly
about the candidates. About ;be
issues they are not altogether so
plain. Occasionally a paper like
the Atlanta Georgian will claim
that its policy is to be indepen¬
dent, yet there is an undercurrent
sentiment which shows that it has
its likes and dislikes for the can
didates in spite of the claim for
consistency of principle concerning
measures and men.
* *
But while much could be said
derogatory to the views and poli¬
cies of many southern newspapers,
on the whole thsy deserve credit

future welfare of their section,

There are some things that we
editors can’t get off our mind—for
instance the cartoons of the Atlan¬
ta Journal and the Constitution,
the railroad bill, and Bowie. They
are present in our dreams constant¬
ly. We hoped that the earthquake
would dispose of Dowie, but he
would not down. Theearthquake
came and went, but Dowie is with
us still. However, laying all
jocular expressions aside, who is
it that does not feel & sympathy
for the old man in his dying hours?
When he closes his eyes in death
the newspaper interest will die out,
■and then will come the disruption
of Zion City, the work which the
renowned Elijah built % his sub¬
tle manner of inducing the igno¬
rant and the religious fanatical
part with their money.

But when will be the end of the
Georgia pslitical cartoon? When
will Mr. Gregg and Mr. Satturfield
come to a stop for the want of
subjects? Already they have cross¬
ed the waters veutured into classi¬
cal Germany. Goethes Hermann
and Dorothea have been utilized,
and this gives us the alacming
notes that the subjects are lsex
hauatibie—at least until August
24th.
THE BOARD OF TRADE.
Some time ago we called atten¬
tion to the need of a Board of Trade
in this town and for a while we
thought that, we were going to get
it and at once but so far the Board
Is in the dim future. Covington
by all means ought to have •ome
organization to bring before good
citizations tbe advantages of our
town as an excellent location for
investment.
On a whole Covington is O. K.
but we are somewhat negligent in
this respect. It occurs to us that
all we need is some one to head
the movement. Why not some of
our young business men? Don’t
stand back. Let some one call a
meeting of the citizeus and lets
organize this necessity.
Nearly every town in the State
the size of Covington has this or¬
ganization to look after its inter*
