Misapprehension.
It takes money to get out a
newspaper 52 times a year, and it
takes money to feed an editor and
his employes. Don’t forget that
and come across with that dollar.
We are hot running a perennial
bloomer.*^—Jackson Argus.
The above statement is aston
ishing. It is simply preposterous,
not to say ridiculous. You can’t
make some people in this world
believe that it takes “money to
run a newspaper.” It takes mon
key to run sfcotes, factories, offices,
shops and railroads, but it doesn’t
take money to run a newspaper,
in their estimation. They think
a newspaper is like perpetual mo
tion, all you have to do is to start
it “goes on forever” without
^‘grease.” Printers Jive on water,
print paper doesn’t cost anything,
/bouse rent is free, type never
wears out and iok replenishes it-
-self. - You can send out accounts,
but they just know you don’t need
any money, and therefore you
have to waste a good deal of,ener
gy and time. Oh, no, a newspa
per doesn’t need any money, but
the editor needs a bold face to
stand off creditors, and a heap of
patience and grace. If you have
any more “grace” than you need
send us that.—Marietta Journal.
Georgia's Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court of Georgia
has been sustained in every decisou
it Has made by the Siyireme Court
of the United States since 1886. At
least every case appealed from the
Georgia Court to the United States
Court has been held to be correct.
Twenty three cases have been
appealed since 1886, and every one
has been declared to be the right
view of the law/No other Supreme
Court in the United States can
hardly have such a remarkable
record. The ju- trees of the court are
very proud of the fact that their
decisions are so highly regarded by
the highest court in the land.
BUD SMITH ELECTED
On Police Force.—College Building
To Be Examined.
At the regular meeting of coun
cil Thursday night, Mr. W. E.
Smith was elected to the police
force, with a salary of $400 per an
num and perquisites. He is to
work under the direction of the
chairman of the police committee,
and to do whatever he tells him.
The city has needed an extra po
1 iceman for sometime, and the
election of Mr. Smith did not take
place ^without due deliberation.
The city is growing and the people
need more police protection, and
the council has acted wisely in put
ting on another man.
The question of the safety of the
main public school building, also
came before council Thursday
night. A number of citizens was
present to discuss the matter in
its different phases. Some wanted
the old building torn down; others
wanted a new one built in front of
it; others wanted the old one ex
amined by an architect to see if it
was really dangerous; and still
others had their different, ideas
about the matter. The council,
after hearing from various citizens
present decided to employ an At
lanta architect to come here and
make a thorough examination of
the building. When this is done
the matter will then be in shape
for action. If it is found necessary
to erect a new building, the ques
tion of how it is to be built, wheth
er by bonds or direct taxation,
must de decided. It appears that
something is going to be done about
the matter right away/
