VOL t XXVII. NO 22 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.

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.

Ref ire closing this article J want to pay the section in which this celebration was held u d«- serued eouiplimyut. Although LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA. TUESDAY, AUGUST 10th 1897. 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.

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.

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. ” Everybody knows tl at Benja min Franklin, the eminent American statesman and phil osopher, robbed the thunder cloud of its lightning by means of a kite and a silk handker chief. A celebrated English engrav er, Thomas Bewick, drew his first tketcli with common chalk upon the walls of the little cot tage in which he lived.

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. - - - I Uiyaus I aliuW* curs nausea. 1.00 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE MISSIONARY COL UMN.

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 such delicious rest as am ’ •Yes, lather,’ I answered, ‘l’ll do that when 1 am al*ove ground Can't you help me out?’ Hut Hnddbu was gone. 1 was just beginning to sink in dispair, when I saw another figure above ins, different from the others.

He folded his arms about me and lifted me up, and then he fed anil rested me. When 1 was well, he did not say ‘Now, do tliut again.’ but he said, ‘We will walk on together now,’and we have been walking together until this day.” Oh sister, see how thesi celes tials felt their lost omdition, see how they feel the futility of their own teachers; see how the : Christ is just what, whom, they long for, and how “the tender ness of his enfolding” is as real to them as to you when lifted out of the miry pit!

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.
