DO IT LIKE A MAN!
It is seldom that The News loses n
subscriber, but occasionally some fel
low "settles” what ho owes the paper
by having it discontinued. If you want
to stop your local paper, do so like u
man. Wo will wIbH each other nothing
but good will if we part square. It is
much more manly to spend a cent for a
postal card to let us know you do not
want the paper than to let it run on
until you owe a dollar or so, and then
rely on distance to avoid paymont. We
don’t want you to have a single copy
if you do not care for it. But don’t
neglect the balance due. We must print
the paper every week, and pay .the
bills, whether any cash comes in or
not. It costa us just the same, fair
weather or foul; that’s one of the un
pleasant conditions of publishing—like
farming. The pBst two seasons have
been a strain both on our patience and
our purse.—Dawson News.
The Herald has had many depressing
experiences like that complained of by
The News. For example, we employed
a collector a short time ago to look af
ter delinquents on tho rural routes ra
dieting from Newnan. Ho covered five
routes, at an actual expense to us of
$21. His total collections amounted to
$24.70, yet the arrearages due by the
four hundred subscribers on these
routes aggregated nearly $500! On
two of the routes covored he did not
collect one dollar! Yet many of theso
people subscribe for some cheap city
paper that contains no homo nows at
all, and pay cash for it without a whim
per; but let tho home papor try to col
lect a subscription account, after wait
ing two or three years for payment,
and all sorts of excuses Bnd subterfu
ges are'resorted to in an effort to evade
the obligation.
The Herald feels that it !b being
treated shabbily by many of its patronB
who are in arrears, and we are at a loss
to understand the reason for such treat
ment. We work hard, and givo the
people of Coweta a good papor, but our
expenses are all out of proportion to
the profits derived from the business.
The blank paper upon which The Herald
is printed costs $50 a month, and other
expenses are upon the same scale—yet
we are carrying on our books to-day
over $2,000 in paBt due subscription ac
counts— mado up of small sums, rang
ing from one to three dollars. The only
eharitablo explanation is that because
the amounts are small our patrons have
an idea that we can get along somehow
until it suits their convenience to pay,
failing to conBidor the inconvenience to
which we are subjected in consequence
of non-payment of their dues.
It is becoming more and more evi
dent that the only way the country pa
por can hope to exist is to adopt the
cash-in-advunce plan, and, remember
ing our late exoeriences, Tho Herald is
strongly inclined to do so. Working for
nothing and boarding one's solf is not a
very exhilarating pastimo.
At the meeting of the County Execu
tive Committee yosterday Col. II. C.
Fisher was indorsed for a place on the
Georgia delegation to tho National
Democratic Convention, and his name
will be presented to tho State Conven
tion at Macon on May 3 as one of the
delegates from the Fourth Congres
sional district. Col. Fisher is a stal
wart Democrat, and has more friends
than any man in Georgia, who would
delight to honor him with any position
ho might seek. Although his business
office is in Atlanta he still retains his
citizenship in Coweta, and always will.
Death of Mr. J. A. Camp.
Mr. Jos. A. Camp, whose illness has
been mentioned in previous issues of
The Herald, died Saturday morning at
the homo of his sister-in-law, Mrs. W.
W. Camp, on Clark street. He had
been in poor health for several months,
and for nearly Bix weeks uefore his
death was finable to leave his bed. Mr.
Camp made his home at Moreland for
a number of years, but took up his
residence in Newnan the first or the
year. He was one of our cleverest and
most popular citizens, and had many
friends throughout tho county. He
leaves several nieces and nephews, but
had no other near relatives, his wife
having died many years ago. He was
56 years of age. The funeral took place
Sunday afternoon at half-past 2 o'clock,
from the residence, services being con
ducted by Rev. Mr. Christian, of this
rity, assisted by Rev. Mr. Sears, of
Moreland. The interment was at Oak
Hill.

•The Strange Case of Mary
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with .the
oil-food In Scott’s Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try It.
