The result of the primaries in
Heard and Campbell counties is
extremely encouraging to the op
ponents of Hon. Hoke Smith in
this section of the State. Good
news of similar nature is coming
in from every section of the State.
Keep up the fight boys. You'll
help make it unanimous for Smith
by the time the State primary
rolls around.
We have not heard of a single
county in the State where an ef
fort is being made to elect a legis
lator to carryout Hoke Smith's
platform, and his pipe dream is im
possible without the right kittr^l

Miss Kae Lowe Sponcler was
honored by being selected for the
responsible position of pianist lor
the Albany Chautauqua, which is
in session this week. 1 he Albany
Herald's "Chautauqua Kdition"
contained a pictuie of Miss Spun
cler, accompanied by the following
merited mention of her achive-
ments:
"The management has again
been foitunate in the selection ol
a pianist, who is to accompany the
chorus and soloists for the occa
sion. Miss Kae Lowe Sponcler is
a native Georgian, who has earned
a well mailed reputation as one ol
the finest pianists in America. Her
work at the piano will leave noth
ing to be desired in that respect,
and her contiibution to the sue
cess of the eighteenth assembly
will be large and greatly appre
ciated.”

The Central of Georgia Railway
having made many material im
provements in the roadbed and
track of the Chattanooga division,
has decided to put on several of
the latest improved engines. The
engines weigh ninety tons each
and have been thoroughly tested.
The installation of these large
engines is evidence of an increase
of business along the line as well
as the prosperity of the company.
The first of the new enginees was
brought to Griffin yesterday and is
known as 1025. An engine of
such large proportions will doubt
less create some excitement along
the Chattanooga road, but will
soon become a familiar object and
will probably be followed by an
improved passenger service.—Grif

USE THE SAME WEAPONS.
Merchants all over the country
are constantly complaining about
the inroads mail order houses are
making into their business. Leg
islation is constant!) Iieing secured
in favor of mail order houses and
tiie home merehants do not Ivestir
themselves in self defense.
The sneeess of the mail order
houses is undeniable, and the
damage they are doing the small
dealers everywhere is only too ap
parent. Mow do the mail order
houses manage to get the business!
They have no show windows, and
in fact some of them earr> very
few goods. It is a fuel that p«*ople
are daily starting in tlu* mail ol
der business with merely enough
money to pay for a little advertis
ing, They find out at the stores
what things can Ik* Imught for,and
proceed to find easterners.
Now, why shouldn't the mer
chant find the customers himself
by using the same method as the
mail order man—advertising! It
is true that the small merehants do
advertise, but so many of them
consider their advertising as a dis
agreeable ami compulsory duty.
Some advertise because they don’t
want it to appear that their com
petitors are the only people who
(tan afford to spend money with
the newspapers. Others advertise
stance for its semblance. Under
his control the press must ever re
flect that prejudice and sophistry
inspired by selfish interest and its
influence can be neither moral nor
elevating.
Viewed, however, as nn institu
tion established by custom and
generously supported by the in
telligenee of men—whose privil
eges are jealously guarded bv law
and whose tremendous power is
conceded by all- the press at once
becomes a factor in the onward
march of destiny unsurpassed by
any other force which inspires the
actions of men.—The American
l’ress.
