WANT CONFIDENCE.
The Atlanta Georgian ot Tues
day advised that the m ney p au j c
be brought to an end and that At
lanta take the initiative The ar
tide was concluded as fallows:
'•The Georgian suggests that th
Atlanta Hearing House Assocm
tion communicate bv wir« today
with the clearing h >use association
■ feverv Southern city and asu
each to agree to restore noima!
conditions at noon on Wednesday
Ask them to call in all clearing
house certificate- and pav them > ff
iu cash thev have in their vaults,
and thus set an example to the
W<T !d that would reflect undying
credit th-* S"Uth * ?
up mi
Perhaps prudence demanded that
the banks lock their vaults and
cease to add any new business t<
but confidence 1
,heir books, was
not restored by that action. When I
the banks decided to do this, bad j
matters were made worse. No ■
man with any money f elt called
upon to rush to the banks with it
svhen he knew that the banks were
not letting :mv of it out attain.
Money lockKl up is money that
is as useless as blank paper, And
a bank that is afraid to do business
cannot reasonab'y expect other
people tojsuddenly become opti
uiistic,
It appears to us that the banks
did a bad business when they shut
off all loans. They should have
continued to do business at lea^t
on a small basis. Refusing all
loans of every character convinced
tie peop'e that a panic was on
• ae en<>ugh and into the vaults,
old j^rs, old clocks and other hid¬
ing places the money went.
The Atlanta Georgian gave the
banks of Atlanta some good ad
v ce.
How to Build An “Ad”
An important thing 111 writing
advertisements is to attract the
attention of women. It has
been said th^re is a woman at th«
button of everything, and it is true
even in the matter of advertising;
in most cases she is at the top ol
it, too
An adveitisement writer m a re¬
cent article in Profitable Advertis
mgBavs most successful merchants
realize the effectiveness the direct
appeal to women, and then givt-s
some suggestions and reason why
First of all, he claims that honesty
in all a Is is the best appeal to
women. One* she is deceived or
cheated her confidence can never
be fully regain* d. The appeal of
a bargain is almost a sixth sms;
with woman, but it must le an
honest one.
Another strong appeal is that 0
a good appearance, followed by
an appeal to her domestic instinct.
A man go^sto his home as a haven
of rest—woman Itves there. She
rules at home and the home
purchases are the biggest part o
the sales of merchants.
Me'chaots nowadays pay more
attend >n to the preparation of
their advertisements, and they
have found that it pays them well.
Hastily written advertisements 1 < se
haif their value, while the one
well thought out and neatly plan
n-d brings corrospudingly better
results. Possibly the most notice
able improvement m retail adver- ,
th^t of . judicious . , . of
Using i* a use
Wii;te space, and the , elimination , .
crowded coogiomeration of
words.
Early copy is a much more
rta t a d to the effectiveness
• an advertisemnat than some
mere a a r -b./e. It handed to a

;
on, but will be set in a much move
attractive style. Give the type¬
setter time to display vour ad and
;t will be given more attention by
him and more atteutiou by the
readers of the paper, and the
mean better results for the
tiser.

THE ENTERPRISE COvMNGTON GA
WALL STREET PANIC.
It is interesting t.* note tbe ex
t-etit to which the beiiet is gaining
ground, that t he .New York ban
kers and big financiers have been
almost wholly responsible tor the
money stringency in the west.
The bankers tunned their tuuds to
Wall Street gamblers and then
when they lost money they cried
stringency, tied up Ibeir reserves,
loaned only small amounts at hx
orbitant rates of interest and made
the west wh'stle f«»r its money. Ot
course Mr. Roosevelt did not ap
preciate the game that was being
worked. He says himself, quite
frankly, that he knows nothing of
finance. It is probable that Mr.
Cortelyou knew nothing of it
etcher. The Secretary of th^
Treasury has but one end in view,
the pr«.mution of his own presi
dential ambitions. His only
strength is with the Wall Street
at.d the banking interesis lie
has never had business experience
and he is, of course, a . ;-g if ‘
an innocent tool in the hands of
the met. who ru!e i « the street”.
Fortunately, however, advices
have reached the President from
various sections which are begin
lung to outweight that of his
Secretary of the 'Treasury and in
the face of Secretary Cortelyou’s
protests Mr. Roosevelt is insisting
that proceeds from the sale of the
Panama bonds and the Treasury
certificates shall be distributed in
the west instead ot being poured
into this bottomless New York
rathole

Tribute to Prof. Cooley.
On Oct. 15, 1904, Livingston
school b?*gau with a uiati of
physique us teacher
Little did I know of Prof. Cooley
but as the school days rolled
I learned iu love him. He
to take a great interest in
pupils and before a month had
passed the children loved him with
a love that was inseparable! He
treated every one so as to win their
hearts and never was angry with
them the least. He was a teacher
in the school room anil one of the
boys on the p,ay-grounds. When
a very close play was made the
boys called on him to decide, and
his decision was always to the best
of his ability. The motto he gave
us was fairness and never did the
pupils disapprove of his motto.
When the time came for the elec¬
tion of another teacher everybody
wanted Prof. Cooley, and all the
pupils talked of him for the
teacher.
Prof. Cooley’s life both spiritual
and morally is worthy of emula¬
tion. He set an example that
every young man should endeavor
to imitate. Never did I hear him
use a word of profane language
and when his trials and tempta¬
tions were greatest you could hear
him sing that lovely song, “Keep
on the Sunny Side ol Life.” I sat
at the feet ot Prof. Cooley and
lerrued as Paul sat at the ieet of
Gamaiel. Let every young man
so govern themselves that when
the great judgement comes we
with Prof. Cooley will enter the
j joys that await US.

CHILDREN’S SHOES
Most merchants neglect the little fellow
They are hard to fit and mothers are just a t
particular about the baby’s shoes.
But rather take an interest in children an
have provided for them liberally in foot wea
The truth is our stock of children’s Shoes is tl
largest in Covington. We have them for bo
Sunday and everyday wear. While the qua
ty is the best, the price is very reasonable.
