Home Enterprise.
Whenever a man places his money
in a factory, a mill of any sort, or
any other kind of enterprise, it can
be accepted as a fact that his chief
purpose is to gain pecuniary profit
for himself and those dependent up
on his bounty.
However, when it transpires that
fcjie operation of such an enterprise
l's generally or specifically beneficial
to the people of that community or
locality, then it is the business and
moral duty of those people to heart
ily co-operate with the owner there
of to make the industry a profitable
investment.
It has long been known that
Georgia is poorer than the state
should be because so much money is
annually sent cut of the state for
goods that could be as cheaply
bought within Georgia.
This takes from the stato money
that legitimately belongs hero, and
it never coraetf back. Recently man
ufacturers are complaining that lack
of jiride in home industry is having
a decidedly unfavorable effect upon
their business.

chant wont to New ’York and
bought a large bill of goods, order
ing them shipped to him at once.
He placed the order with a broker
who represents my goods in New
York. Before lie got out of the of
fice the broker wired me to fill the
order and deliver the goods. I did
so. The broker collected his com
mission on the transaction, and the
price he charged the ihercbant was
enough to cover freight all the way
to Now York and back, but the mer
chant was happy because, he had
bought his stuff in New York. He
didn’t stop to fignre that I could
have sold him the goods at his own
door, and saved him both the com
mission and the freight. But I sup
pose we will all learn in time.” .

The Commoner, Hon. W. J. Bry
an’s paper, published at Lincoln,
Nebraska,, will be one year old with
the issue’of this week. In point of
circulation, and perhaps in financial
profit, the paper has been a phenom
enal success, because there is none
other like it. But we doubt if it
has accomplished Mr. Bryan’s pet
desire. He has certainly been able
and persistent in promulgating his
political opinions. In many things
he is eminently correct, but in his
coinage views he misthkes a policy
for a fixed principle of democracy.
As an advertiser of the conditions,
resources and advantages of the

tains 925 pages, exclusive of the in
dex,and 126 illustrations. Not only

the history and industrial progress
of the greatest southern state, but
the style is easy aud attractive.
Whatever one wants to know obout
Georgia, as it was and as it is, this
book affords the information. It
should be extensively circulated as
an advertiser. Commissioner Ste
vens and. those who assisted him de
serve much credit for this work.
