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/ N ight Was Her Terror. I would cough nearly all night long,” writes Mrs. Chas.
