' In your last iaue "Ripples,
other things, sail:
No person in tlis State is allowed to
peddle on dry gods without first tak
ing out a license,except by special act
ofthe Legislature 1 think there would
be just as much pstice in compelling a
merchant to takeout license to farm ns
there is in compiling any farmer to
take out license o peddle dry goods,
etc. It is a very,unjust law that re
stricts the liberti® of one class of peo
ple to enhance tit; interest of nnother
class. If the thejry of free trraders is
right, then they c uld not. object to free
peddlers. I head a high protective
tariff man say notong ago that country
apple wagons shodd not be allowed to
sell apples on the itreets of Newnan.
Now, Mr. Edita-, as I am about the
only avowed high protective tariff man
that I know of, (thragh there are quite
a number of tariff men in Coweta), I
suppose that the ctinds of the readers
of that article natirally turned to me
as the person alluied to. My friend
“Ripples" has don^me a very grent in
justice, if I am tin man referred to,
though I exonoratoliirn from all blame,
as I know he would not intentionally
injure any one. Inbhis instance, how
ever, bis memory is^ery much at fault.
In the name of common sense, if
county apple-wagons cannot sell on
the streets of Newlan, where in the
city cah they sell thtm V How are ap
ples to be carried toNewnan from the
country but in wagots ? When they get
there what are they to do? The doors
are not wide enough to drive their
teams into the storesto sell them, so as
to avoid sales on the itreets. Just one
thought on the part »f my friend "Rip
ples" would have convinced him that I
did not say that country apple-wagons
ought not to be alloved to sell apples
on the streets. What I did say was
that country wagons from outside the
county of Coweta ought not to be al
lowed to retail apples on the streets in
competition with the merchants, who
had bought some of their apples for
the purpose alone of retailing them to
the trade. Is there anp justice in a far
mer from Haralson county coming into
Newnan aud setting up a retail trade
right in front of the door of the mer.
chant to whom he had just s6ld a quan
tity of apples, to sell himself at retail ?
What benefit are those apple peddlers
to the city of Newnan ? Their object is
to get the money for their apples, and
leave without spending a cent with our
merchants, thereby getting all the ad
vantage of the trade without any ex.
pense. I maintain that os the mer
chants are taxed to pay the expenses
bf tho city government that they ought
to be protected against any such trade.
The country people enjoy some of the
benefits of the city government when
in town. Is it nothing that they have
nice sidewalks to walkpn when in town
during wet and muddy weather ? Is it
nothing that they can turn their heads
toward the clock-tower and see the
timh of day, so as to know how to dis
pose of their time and return liornp ? Is
it nothing, this hot weather, that water
is provided for themselves an<l ttyeir
teams While fn town ? This talk about
classes is all bosh, and I think a man
wants(o be a candidate who is always
talking about classes. Maybe I am
wrong. . BknjI LEiqu.
The Gubernatorial Oampalgn.
Atlanta Journal.
For a year there has been in the field
but one announced candidate for the
Governorship, the Hon. W. J. Northern
Mr. Northen is still the only avowed
candidate, but there are gubernatorial
possibilities, probabilities and almost
certainties. It looks at this time, as if
it will be a race with five candidates in
the field.
Mr. Northen, a prominent Alliance-
man, and president of the State Agri
cultural Society, has been before the
people for a year as an avowed candi
date.
Mr. L. I . Livingston, president of the
Farmers’ Alliance, though he has not
yet announced himself, is and has been
for months a candidate for the same of
fice.
The two candidates would appeal, for
their main support, to the same class—
the farmers of the State. It has been
the long desire of the agricultural class,
which is the greater part of our popula
tion, to elect a man from its ranks.
With two candidates in the field this
would be impossible. The effort in Al
abama resulted in the election of a rail
road attorney.
It is thought by many that these are
the only candidates.
But it is hardly to be expected that
tiiese two names will be the only ones
presented to the Democratic conven
tion. Probably if one retires, the other
would have no opposition, as the other
classes in Georgia seem quite content to
let the fanners name the next Governor.
But should both be in the field, other
men could not resist the temptation
and ueglect the opportunity to snatch
the disputed prize for themselves.
Probably Mr. Tom Hardeman, for
whom Houston has already spoken and
for whom Bibb would vote, giving him
ten votes in convention, would consent
to make the race.
Probably Mr. John Thomas Glenr,
mayor of Atlanta, would find an open
ing in a convention split by contending
factions of the farmers. It would sur
prise no one—except Mr. Glenn himself
—if his name should be presented to the
August convention.
Another possibility is Mr. J. C. C.
Black, of Richmond, whose present
probable strength consistsin the twelve
votes of Richmond and Burke, with
some of the small neighboring counties.
Mr. Black has never been a politician.
He has stood aloof, but would in all
probability accept a tendered nomina
tion.
There are five, and all of these may
be considered as in the race, by their
own acts, by their own tac-it consent,
or by the efforts being made by their
friends.
Half a Cent ury Behind.
It is at least fifty years too late to
dispute the proposition that newspa
per advertising pays. Tho reverse may
have been true when Rip Vau Winkle
went to sleep, but Rip has waked up.
and even "Schneider” can bark out the
truth to him. Not only does nowspa-,
per advertising pay, but it pays well,
and on the whole better than It ever
did before.
A few years ago newspapers were
not what thoy are now. They were
fewer in uumber, and in nil that char
acterises good newspaper management
thoy were inferior to the newspapers
of tho present day. ftometnbering that
our allusion is chieily to tho papers of
the smaller cities and country towns,
nooue who is familiar witli the facts of
twenty five yours ago will dispute with
us when wo say that, wonderful as has
been much of the progress of tho last
two or throe decades, theadvanco in re-
sjiect to our newspapers litis not been
surpassed in any other direction.
In tho days of tho past advertising
paid. Conspicuous incidents of meu
who grow rich by early perception of
the advantages of newspaper advertis
ing readily cotno to mind, while the
trutli that thousands of persons who
achieved no personal celebrity made
handsome profits by the same means
can bo easily shown.
In this day tho newspapers have
much to commend them which they
did not then possess. They are better
printed, for one thing; they are more
prosperous and have a better commer
cial standing, for another. The pupers
of tho class specially referred to huvo
at their command a reading matter
service which puts thorn fully on a
level, os to matter, with the most pros
perous metroplitan daily. And mo an
advertiser, wheu presenting his an
nouncement for insertion, may feel
confident that his advertisement will
bo printed in good company, and,
sinco tlicso are also tho times of per
fected printing machinery, in good,
legible form also.
Therefore since newspaper adver
tising has always paid, even in the
day when newspupers were, by com
parison, poorly printed and only mod
erately edited, the business man is
standing in his own light aud casting
tho blackest kind of a shadow if he is
not a student and a liberal user of
newspaper advertising.
▲bout tbe State Road.
Columbus Enquirer-8un.
In a lengthy and interesting editorial
article, tbe Savannah Times brings up
tbe Western and Atlantic railroad, nnd
the probability of its lease under the
new act. The Time* alleges that there
is a conspiracy against t he State of Geor
gia in the matter of the proposed lease.
The conspirators are the Louisville and
Nashville the and Richmond Terminal
corporations. The writer in the Tin tea
sayB it is certain that no bid will be put
in next month for the lease of t lie road,
unless the Louisville nnd Nashville ana
the Richmond Terminal deckle before
the 27th day of June to change their
policy. Their present plan is. as it has
long been, not to submit a bin in June,
ana so throw it into the winter session
of the Legislature. A prominent official
of the Louisville and Nashville states
that his company and the Richmond
Terminal nre the only companies that
can bid for the lease. It Is declared
that the alleged purpose of the conspir
acy is to force the State of Georgia to
pay the lessees’ claim for betterments.
We fail to see just how the alleged
conspirators can effect their purpose by
the plan proposed. In declining to bid
for a lease that would be of meat value
to either of these powerful systems
they would be in the exorcise of a right
that no one will dispute. If it should
so happen that these great corporations
should ignore the business feature of
the lease, ns a spite against the State, or
ns a measuro to force the State into
paying their claim for betterments,
which we can hardly credit, and if it
should be that no bids are submitted
by other parties, which we as little cred
it, then there is tho satisfaction of feel
ing that the great State of Georgia can
stand it nnd is well able to stand it. The
threat is again repeated thut if the bet
terments claim is not paid the rolling
stock will be run off and the road wreck
ed. While this hns been rung into the
ears of the Legislature for several years,
it has never excited the npprenliensioii
of the Legislature or the State authori
ties, although the former, at the last
session, in excess ol precaution, made
such provision as would effectually pre
vent such throat being carried out.
The prooability is, however, that all
these apprehensions about the lease
will prove to hnve been without war
rant, The State will offer for lease a
superb property, and as a business
proposition there will be bids for it. If
not, then it will be time to talk, and
Georgia will have the fioor.

Does Advertising Fay?
He is a slow man indeed who af
firms that judicious advertising docs
not pay. Let tho skeptic look arouud
him, in any city or business center,
and note tho most successful business
men there. Who aro they? Tho caro-
ful and judicious advertisers invari
ably.
Some raise tho objection that every
thing is now sold at so small a margin
of profit that they cannot afford toad-
vertiso. Tlis is just why they should
advertise. "Whero is tho advantage of
sclcctiug particularly choaporoffering
especially great bargains if tho people
aro not made awure of them ?
There is no questioning tho fact that
there is an immense amount of money
wasted, positively thrown away, in so
called advertising schemes that aro ab
solutely worthless, aud that fail utterly
to bring tho investor in thorn any re
turns whatever for tho money expend
ed. All the experienced advertisers
avoid them, using only tho standard,
long tried, reliable mediums—the
-newspapers, the best and the cheapest.
As it is known that tho most suc
cessful business men aro the greatest
advertisers, so is it a fact tliut all suc
cessful advertisers are firm believers in
the newspaper—believers not only in
its effectiveness, but its cheapness.
Xii(fl for Advertisers to Crack.
Tho man who docs not find advertis
ing profitable generally finds business
unprofitable.
A business may bo likened to an
arch; if capital and labor represent
the pillars, then advertising is tho key
stone, without which the structure
must crumble.
Was newspaper advertising a success
with you last year? If not, why not?
it puys others. It ought to pay yom.
and will if wisely done.—Ayers’ News
paper Manual.
Let your advertisement in.ajl cases
exactly correspond with w.ht^t you real
ly propose to sell. Be prepared to sho w
tire customer who inquires tho identi
cal goods, and- let price nnd terms al
ways tally with your announcements.
Half the battle in advertising is in
knowing wiiut to say and how to say
it. Of all things dc dt try to say too
much in one advertisement. Remem
ber thut “Brevity is tbe soul of wit.”
If you’ve u thing to sell, name it, with
the price, briefly. If you want any
thing, waste no words iu needless ex
planation.
How* to Display an Advertisement.
It is difficult to fix any rule, since
each case requires different treatment.
In every instance a “catch line” or a
“catch word” is desirable, which will
arrest the attention at a glance.
The fewer words used the better
m purely displayed advertisements.
Avoid lengthy descriptions of articles;
people seldom read them.
Use plain type, easily read. The
test of an advertisement is its legibil
ity. Fancy letters and intricate de
signs are a waste of time and space
Puzzles, inverted words, lines set on
angles or lengthwise in columns never
accomplish what is expected of them.
Leave a margin of blank space on top,
sides and bottom of your advertise
ment. and it will always add to its el
fectivenes?..
Gen. Lee’s Statue.
Mercie's magnificent statue of Gen.
Robert Edward Lee was unveiled at
Richmond, May 29, with impressive
ceremonies. The groat Virginian 1b
represented in tho statue as astride of
his faithful horse "Traveler,” who bore
him through the campaigns of four
eventful years. The animal’s four feet
are on the ground, and the General is
delineated as he appeared when on the
point of leaving the field of Gettysburg.
The statue is forty feet high, forty feot
across and weighs eight tons. It was cast
in eight pieces and brought from Paris
in threo pieces. When it reached Rich
mond it was conveyed to its destination
in three wagons, drawn respectively by
citizens, women and old veterans. The
pedestal is twenty-one feet high, mak
ing the total sixty-one feet. It is inten
ded as tiie bnse of six other statues of
generals who served under Lee, three
of whom have been selected: “.Stone
wall" Jackson, J. E. B. Stuart and A.
P. Hill.
Senator Carlisle, in a letter to B. F.
Howard, of Tuskegee, Ala., explains
why ho does not favor the scheme for
sub-treasuries or Goverment ware
houses for agricultural products, and
adds: “It would be but another wide
and dangerous departure from the prin
ciples upon which our political institu
tions are founded. It would be, in fact,
the longest step taken in time of peace
toward consolidation of power in the
hands of the Federal Government, and
the subjection of the private affairs of
the people toflic supervision and con
trol of a central, irresponsible author!
