WANNAMAKER ON ADVER
TISING.
“I never in my life lined such
a tiling ns a poster, or dodger
or hand-hill. My plan for
twenty years has been to buy
bo much space in a newspaper
end fill .it up as I wanted. I
kwould not give an advertise*
in a newspaper of five
hundred circulation for five
thousand dodgers or posters.
If I wanted to sell cheap jewel
ry or run a gambling scheme I
might use posters; but I would
■ not insult a decent, reading pub
lic. with hand-bills. The class
of people who read them are
too poor to look to for support
in the mercantile affairs. I
deal directly with the publish
er. I say to him: “How long
will you let me run a column
of matter through your paper
for one hundred or live hun
dred dollars,” as the case may
be. I let him do the figuring
and if I thiffc h i i i not trying
to take more than his share, 1
give him the copy. I lay aside
the profits on a particular line
of goods for advertising pur
poses, At first I laid aside
three thousand dollars; last
year I laid aside and spent
forty thousand dollars. I have
done better this year and shall
increase that sum as the profits
warrant it. I owe my success
to newspapers, and to them 1
freely give a certain profit of
my yearly business,
JUDGE AND JURY.
An. exchange tells a story of
a well known judge w ho is noted
for his fondness for conveying
in his charges to jurors his own
opinions in regard to the merits
of the case in hand. Recently,
in giving such a charge, he ex
pressed his views very plainly,
but to his amazement the jury
remained out for several hours.
The judge inquired of the
officer what was the matter,
and learned from him tliat one
juror was holding out against
the other eleven. He sent for
the jury at once, and stated to
the jurors that he had plainly
intimated how the case ought to
bo decided, said he understood
that one juror was standing out
against, the other eleven. He
proceeded to rebuke the juror
sharply.
The obstinate juror, as it
happened, was a nervous little
man, and as soon as the judge
was done, lie arose and said:
“Your honor, may 1 say a
word?”
“Yes, sir,” said the indig
nant judge, “what have you to
say ?”
“Well, what I wanted to say
js, I am the only fellow that’s
on your side,”
COUNTING GRAY HORSES.
The story is that if a young
lady will count ull of the gray
horses she sees until she reaches
the number Hit), the first gen
tleman with whom she shakes
hands after the count is to be
f)er husband.
Formerly the number was 49,
and the reason Du taking that
number was perhaps because 7
is considered a perfect number
on account of its ireqiient re
currence in the scripture. Now
40 is 7 times 7, or seven times
pprfect; hence, the significance
of taking this number.
Rut it may be asked, “What
has the white horse to do with
jt9”
jrfimply tips. Among the an
»junta no qnc was allowed to
rjde a white horse except a king
a minqueyor, <q a bridegroom.
Hence, after the counting of a
perfect niimb.-r of gray horses
indicated that the man she first
jnet was a king, i e. I(er lord, jt
conqueror, because fie woqhl
yin tier love, am) a bridegroom,
t,r l,er husband,
j cannot sf,i why |OU was ever
substituted for 49 units, it is an
eusier number to remember.

CELEBRATION
OF THE M’KENDRIE S. S.
ASSOCIATION.
Editor Herald: Although
you have correspondence from
many portions of the county,
yet I have seen nothing from
this section in your columns for
some time, therefore by your
permission I will write up the
celebration of the McKendree
Sunday School Association
which come off today in a beau
tiful grove near Trinity church
in Goodwins district.
The officers of this association
are: H. 1,. Peeples, Pres., T.
W. Liddell Sec , and is com
posed of six schools. McKen
dree, Farmers Academy, River
Springs and Belmon were the
only ones represmted in the
celebration.
Exercises opened by reading
the scriptures and prayer by a
Mr. Morris, formerly of Henry
county, but now a citizen of
Gwinnett. Then followed the
welcome address by a Mr. Jin
kins, of Harralson county, but
who is teaching in this county,
responded to by J. 11. Roberts,
of River Springs’ school. Roth
addresses were fine I was told.
I did not arrive till 11 A. M.
The usual program of singing
and recitations by each school.
And such singing! None of
your new style music, but good
old time songs and old time
tunes, sung with the under
standing that made this scribe
recall simelar occasions in the
long ago.
At 11:30 A. M. a Mr. Flani
gan made a very fine address.
He is a young man of 20 sum
mers or more; is a Gwinnett
county boy, from over near
Jackson county. His theme
was on the line of progressive
development, religiously and
mentally, lie told us the peo
ple wer- getting better; that
the people were advancing edu
cationally, developing a higher
manho d morally and socially.
These points were stressed in
eloquent words that carried
conviction to his hearers. 1
shall expect to hear more of
him in the future.
After his addross, adjourn
ment for 11 hours for dinner
was announced. Then the hos
pitality and good old time co-in |
try friendship was exemplified!
in a way that proclaimed the
words of Mr. Flanagan to be]
true. Those that had no din
ner were invited to partake!
with those that did have. This
sinner ate with Mr. W.ll. Knox
and daughters, and I ln-re want
to teslify to the high culinary
qualities of Miss Maud and her
sisters. Such steuk! fried]
brown, juicy and tender, and
regular Methodist preacher!
yul low-legged chickeni pies and
custards highly flavored and
rich with ingredients; anil cake! j
the very best. Pound and I
white mountain were two varie
ties that I specially want to
mention. Suffice it to say, I
did full justice to the hospitali
ty of my friend.
After dinner eqtfio social
cipiis, yemincsuenoes, stories,
etc , by the older peupje, while
the yopug people hint a guy

ings. How the young men'
gallantly escorted the ladies!

At the eapiratlop of the re

they are a plain, common coun
try people, yet for rugged hon
esty, clever, hospitable, accom
modating people, I gladly tes
tify. The audience was made
up of good, substantial citizens
of Martins, Duluth and Su
wanee districts. I am sure I
saw more pretty girls, good
looking young men, well-to-do
old people, fat. horses and
mules, nice buggies and wagons
than I have seen in similar
crowds in a long while, and
they were country people, too;
from the valleys of the Chatta
hoochee, Sweet Water and the
Suwanee they come; a better
citizenship no country -can
boast.
The crops of corn and cotton
have made a wonderful improve
ment since the ruins of two
weeks ago. The prospect is now
that this part of Gwinnett will
harvest a bountiful crop. The
farmers have got their heads
up—they are feeling good—
therefore, you may tell the rest
of the county that old Good
wins will be at the county fair
in October.
The day was delightfully
spent, not only by the young
but by the older people as well.
The best of order prevailed; no
drunkenness or swearing; every
one seemed to understand that
it was encumbent upon him to
contribute all that was in his
power to make everybody else
feel good and have a pleasant
day. In fact, my pen fails to
record properly the many pleas
ing incidents aud kind actions
of every one; therefore, Mr,
Editor, if you want to have a
good time, I suggest you attend
the celebration of this associa
tion at Mekei.drie in 1898.

THE BATTLE.
Hark! 1 hear the bugle sounding,
’Tis the signal for the tight.
The line of battle is formed;
the soldiers, with lance in hand,
have rushed together; the
ground trembles; metallic vi
brations of the bugle ring from
time to time; front the multi
tude rises a hum, a buzz; horses
neighing, artillery rumbling,
cannons roar, musketry rise
and in their fiery curves, like
Hocks of birds, ruin their iron
fragments in the trenches. The
banner floating in the sun; the
army leuders in front directing
ull; even the timid gather heart
and jierform their in action.
Shoulder to shoulder the men
march to the assuult. A lurid
glare hovers over the scene; the
sky is a canopy of crimson as
the two armies are id A death
struggle Thousands have dash
ed as it were into the lion’s
month, whose teeth are about
to close upon them.
In thirty minutes the earth
is covered with the deud and
wounded, the survivors dying
down the si qip, auy'\h e V tl tp

vo|leys, leaving Mqud on every
leaf, dealt bodies in every rav

The drums are «li muffled,
the hugles ‘ire silent, there is a
pause in the valley and a halt
on the hill. The hearers of
standards stand hack with 4
thrill of horror, for the dead
impede the way, Stern death
holds its harvest today. Over
the wind there is a vuioe like
the low ory of a spirit, and who
shall reply? for alas! it is the

those will answer whose wan

their eyes lined steadfast and

Far away peals the march of

The tumult is silenc d, and

the heroes of battle.

Historical Notes-
James Oglethorpe, an English
nobleman, settled the city of
Savannah in the year 1733.
He was sent out by King George
11., of England, for whom the
State of Georgia was named.
Oglethorpe, coming out with his
first supply of one hundred and
fifty emigrants, he selected the
site for his first town on the
bluff where Savannah now
stands.
In 1825 when the electoral
votes for President of the United
States were counted, ther** were
found t'* be four candidates,
Wm. H. Crawford, John Quincy
Adams, Andrew Jackson and
Henry Clay. Of these Jackson
had the largest number of vote*
anil Clay the smallest; but none
had the sufficient number of
votes to elect him. Therefore
the House of Representatives
had to choose among Adams,
Jackson and Crawford, and al
though Adams had fewer votes
than either of the others, Clay’s
friends combined with his and
made him President.
Mr. Adams was styled “010
man eloquent.”
Alfred the Great was the
brave and virtuous King of
England, who was called “the
father of his country.” ll*-
founded Oxford Unvirtity li
the year 880. He establish*-*
trials by jury.

The Republican party was
first known as tin Free Soil or
Anti-Slavery party. In 1856
they nominated John C. Fre
mont for President. The Dem
ocratic party nominated James
Buchanan and the Americans
put forth Millard Fillmore.
The Democrats were successful
and Buchanan was elected.
Benjamin Franklin, the in
ventor, philosopher and states
man, was born in 170t'» and was
the youngest of seventeen chil
dren. He commenced to learn
the printer’s trade when he was
twelve years old, anil was a con
tributor to the N-w England
Courant iu 1721. In 1732 the
first copy of “Poor Richard’s
Almanack” appealed, which
was published by Franklin for
twenty-five years. It attained
a world-wide fame. He was a
member of the second Conti,
uental Congrtsi and was a sign
er of the Declaration of hide
pence. He died ii 1790.
George IV. succeeded his
father as King of England at
the age of s*. His manners
were polished but he was heart

From the Philadelphia Times.
Dr. William 11. Wollaston
rendered many services to
science. He was the first to
detet the Fraunhofer lines in
solar spectrum and to demon
strate the identity of galvanism
and fractional electricity. One
day a visitor from a foreign
country called upon the doctor
and asked to be shown the lab
oratory where so many valuable
discoveries have been made.
The doctor conducted "his visit
or to a small room, in which
there was nu furniture excent a
table. On the table was an old
tea tray containing a small
balance, a blowpipe, some test
papers and a few watch glasses.
“This room,” said Dr. Wol
laston, “is my laboratory, and
on that tea tray are all my
work tools. ”

MESA IS SCALED.
From New York World.
Albuquerque, N. M., July 25.
—After four centuries of effort
the “Mesa Facantada” has been
scaled. The honor belongs to
I'rot, Libbey, of Princeton Uni
versity.
The ascent is the most diffi
cult of any in the known world.
The mesa rises to a height of
860 feet sheer from the plains
and covers a space of ten acres.
For ten years the place has
challenged the attention of
scientific men because of the ru
mor that it was inhabited by
the remnants of an ancient race,
and mini rous efforts have been
made to reach its summit to no
avail.
Prof. Libbey was equipped
with a number of tandem kite
teams, a balloon anil a gun used
hy the United States Li e-Sav
ing Service. It was'with this
latter apperatus that the ascent
w’«.j made of the rock which
Coronado, as early as two cen
turies ago, stated was more im
pregnable than Gibraltn,
against which the armies of the
wor d would not avail.
The cannon was anchored in
desert and a cord 3,000 feet in
length was shot over the mesa
and made fast in the sand on
the opposite side. Then a wi rk
miin made the ascent, creeping
and climbing over the rough
edges and shelves to the sum
mit. He was followed bv Prof.
Libbey, who went up in a trav
eling chair. Then came others
of the party.
Or, the summit were no evi
dences of inhabitants The
lints that were there at the time
of tin* great deluge half a thous
and years ago, are gone. The
bones of the two hundred wo
men said to have t>e**n left on
the surface to starve could not
be found.
It wos a bare and desolate
! place. The ouly water found
was such as stood in hollow
places dug out by tne Acorna
Indians a thousand years ago.
There was no animal life of
any kind.
There were tho great rocky
battlements used by the tribe
before their rocky ladder path
was destroyed and by which
they defended themselves from
attacks of the invaders, but all
else was desolate.
It is presumed by scientists
that the flora he found 011 the*
surface would be of the kind
that grew in the phehistoric!
world, tin summit having just
emerged from the ancient s**a,i
and it is presumed that the flora
has not change). Therefore
the specimens gathered will be]
of vast interest to botanists,
and may perhaps open a new
field of discovery.
No classification whatever has
been made, That will lie at
tended to afterwards.
Tho ascent was made Friday,
tiie party spending the entire
day on the summit.
There is a egend that the En- 1
chanted Mesa was the h tititt of j
the ancestor# of the Aeomas.
According to the tradition the
towerlike rock was oi.ee thickly
‘eltied with the Aeomas—so
thickly, in Cacti that there whs
no room left to raise the scant
craps the trihe subsisted up<<n.
So during the summer the able
bodied members of the tri txe
were wont to go to the bottom
lands below t« sow and reap,
leaving the decrepit and the
young to cure fur the houses on
the airy summit,
Once, when the hulk of the
trihe was thus occupied, a ter
rific Storm brought the houses
down about the ear* of caretak
ers, and swept away the rooky
stairway that gave access to the
mesa’s summit. One hoy, who
had been sent to warn the others
in tho fields, escaped and led.
the member< of his trihe hack
to the rock, only to tind that
the summit was forever inaccess
ihle.
Urudually the faces that peer
ed down from the walls above
i grew fewer, then faded away at
| terly. Since then the place has
I been sacred to the dead and tile
:Ao imas have dwelt on the
: neighboring mesa, where the
; remnant of the trilie still re-
I mams.
An effort was made to scale
tle clitl twelve years ago, but
the Indians succeeded in driving
| off the little baud of curious
, whites who made the attempt.

A Clansman was once telling
tho difference let ween Christ
■ mill Confucius and Buddha.
He said: “1 was down in a
deep pit. halt sunk in the mire,
and was crying for some one to
help me out. As I looked up 1
saw a venerable, gray haired
man looking down at me. His
countenance bore the marks of
his pure and holy spirit. ‘My
sou,’ he said, ‘this is a dread r ui
place.’ ‘Yes,’ said 1, ‘I fell in
to it, can’t you help me out?'
‘My son,’ he said, ‘1 am Confu
cius, if you had read my books
and follow wluit they taught,
you would never have been -
here.’ ‘Yes, father,’ I said,
but can’t you help me out?’
As 1 looked again he was gone.
“Soon I saw another form ap
proaching, and unother man
bent over ine, this time with
closed eyes and folded arms.
He seemed to be looking into
some far off, distant place.
‘My son,' lie said, ‘just close
your eyes and fold your arms
and forget all about yourself.
Get into a state of perfect rest.
Don’t think about anything
that could disturb. Get so
still that nothing can move you.
Then, my child, you will be in

He was very simple, and looked

folded his arms about me and
lifted me up, and then he fed

Oh sister, see how thesi celes

MONSTER SKY-NCHAI’INU TOWER
PROPOSED FOR NEW YORK.
Kroin the New York World.
William J. Erye has drawn
pians for a proposed tower to
commemorate the consolidation
of greater New York.
The proposed tower, which is
to be 2,140 in height, would be
in most respects the most won
derful structure in the world.
The Elliel tower in Paris is
984 feet in hight, less than half
the proposed observatory tower
for New York.
The tower is to be twelve
sided and built of steel. The
lowest portion will be 800 feet
in diameter, and will be flanked
by four pavilion buildings, giv
ing the strecture a base of 400
feet. The outer walls will be of
cement, having wire cloth im
bedded within that material.
Internally, the tower will be
a labyrinth of steel columns,
girders, beams, plates, and
other shapes in steel, no par
ticle of wood being used in con
struction or finish, and when
completed will be a white tow
er absolutely fireproof.
Directly in the center will
rise a tube twenty feet in its
i outward diameter, and ten feet
in its inner diameter, extended
up to and in through the dome
roof. The inside of the tube
will be smooth, and sightseers
may enter through diets on the
ground lloor and look up thru’
the tube, ten feet, in diameter
and 2.140 feet in height.
Electric cars with reserved
motor power of compressed air
will run spirally around the 100
foot central urea, making a trip
to tlie fifth Hour from the top,
about two and a half miles’
ride. From this point to the
top visitors will be conveyed in
an elevator.
This proposed tower ie to be
built within the next three
years, and somewhere up on the
bights, where there is a firm,
rocky foundation. The promo
ter and projector of this great
Scheme is C. C. Townsend.

Her first order at the grocer’s
was a crusher, but that good
man was used to all sorts of
people and could interpret Vas

lysed sugar,” she said, with a
business air.
“Yea rn. Anything else?”
“Two cans of condensed
milk.”
“Yes’rn. He set down “pul
verised sug , “condensed milk.”
“Anything more ma’am?”
“A bag of fresh salt—be sure
that it is fresh.”
“Yes in. What next?”
“A pound of desecrated cod
fish.”
" Yes’in. ” He wrote glibly
“desiccated cod.”
“Nothing more, ma’am?
Here’s some nice horae radish
just in.” ».
“No,” she said, with a sad
wabble in her I’exible voice, “it
would lie no use, as we don’t
keep a horse.” as
Then the grocer sat down ou
a kit of mackerel and fanned
j himself with a patent wash
board. Yassur had taken the
cake.—Kx.
