s, nbers will be chaiged for at regu
la. rates shown on our advertising
rote card which may be had on ap
plication.
Let your home paper do all the
free advertising of your entertain
ments, but let some onu else print the
programs you huve to pay for. So
niav i our appreciation be shown,
your fastened money be saved, and the editor
to his celestial reward. It
doesn’t cost anything to print a.j.a
per. The printers labor for love, are
fed by the fowls of the air, the mer
chants give them their cloches and
the land-lord their rent; the editor
has no rent, no salaries, no taxes, no
insurance to pay; the city gives him
electric and water service, and the
telephone company serves him for
nothing; the paper jobbers give him
ull the paper he wants whenever he
want* it and never ask for pay; type
and machinery cost nothing, never
wear out nor have to be replaced. If
you are in a pinch at any lime and
haven’t time to send your job print
ing out of town, of course your home
printer will be glad to lay aside all
oilier work, make other customers
wait and do it for you for less than
anyone else can do ii at a pofit. If
he won't do it for less, don’t give it
to him. He’s a profiteer. He has the
paper to back him. Just think of the
munificent income he derives from
boosting nil the public enterprises
of th ■ nvr. I" he doesn't run the
paper .act!/ to suit you, get even
with h in. Don't give him any
work or any advertising—-that
charges for. So will you help your
town and the public spirit thereof
will redound thru the medium of
paper to the uttermost corners of
the earth.
*■
C'ty job printers fequently “bait II
small-town customers by quoting
prices considerably below the cost of
production and below those at which
the small-town printer can do the
work profitably. They thereby hope
to create the impression that their
prices are uniformly lower than the
small-town printer’s prices. But just
you send them a job without asking
for a charged quotation and see what you’ll
get you for it. People who
are not wise to this trick of the trade
are led to believe that the home-town
printer is profiteering, or that he is
not conducting his business us effi¬
ciently as the city printer. Neither
of these things is true. The city
printer, who probably also does a
large business in other lines which
enable him to stand losses in his
printing department, is simply mak¬
ing sacrifices to cut the throat of
his snvall-town competitors and to
build up the volume of his own bus¬
iness. And the small-town customer
who falls for his bait, while profit
ing temporarily, is helping him put
his home-town printer and publisher
out of business. The Leader-Tribune
has never made a cent’s profit on its
business under present management,
and we are told that only one man
ever ran the paper profitably. If
anyone thinks he can show us where
we fail in efficiency or hard work, wc
invite investigation and will welcome
the informaton. The whole secret of
the proposition of prices and profits
is largely involved in volume of bus¬
iness. If the people of Fort Valley
would help us increase our VOLUME
of businees, with a fairly stable over¬
head we could do business at lower
prices and still make a profit. Send
withholding inf your job your work advertising to the city, patron¬ and
age, will eventually send your edi¬
tor to the city, where many others
have gone before him, for a living
remuneration.

A GREAT PRINTER
In place of a life of ease and free¬
dom 1 have chosen a career of an¬
xiety and toil. A man has higher re¬
sponsibilities than the seeking of his
own enjoyments. He should devote
himself to honorable labor. M -Aldus
Manutius, 1450-1515.
The above sentiment is the key to
the character of the greatest of al'
printers, the founder of the illustri¬
ous Aldir.e dynasty of printers. In
the great period of the rebirth of
learning, Aldus following the invention of
printing. exerted an influence
transcending in scope, benefits and
permanency that of any other man.
He was foremost in restoring to the
‘woild the classic literature and
learning for centuries. which had He been suppressed

TWO KINDS OF MEN
A poem read by Mr. A. J. Evans I
at ths funeral sendee of Mr. W. H
Jones, published here through ths
of Mr*. Tom S. Murphey.
u Men are of two kinds, and h«
Was of the kind I’d like to be.
Some preach their vir.ues, and a few
Express their lives by what they do. t
That sort was he. No flowery phrase |
Or gliblv spoken words of praise
Won friends for him. He wasn’t;
cheap deep,
Or shallow, but his course ran
And it was pure. You know the kind,
Not many in a life you find i
Whose deeds outrun their words so
far
-phat more than what they seem they
are
Men afe t wo k j ndgi and he
Was of the kind I’d like to be. !
No door at which he ever knocked
Against his manly form was locked,
If ever man on earth was free
i t’’hinf
l 08 respect,
went
A ^ ^ firmament
So white, so splendid and so fine
it c«„„ .too,. »<**. d«i«n.”

p ew except those amo ng the older
citizens know what Fulwood has been
worth to the town he has made his
home since early manhood. Few are
the enterprises and industries, ex

that have contributed to make Tif
ton of today that Fulwood did not
take a leading part in their organi
zation. We enumerate only a few,
that come to mind, as an illustration:
Our banks, our newspaper, our light i
plant, our ice factory, our telephone
exchange, cotton mill, and many
others. Some he planned himself:
some he cooperated in carrying out
the plans of others. Some succeeded;
some did not; hut all contributed
their part toward building Tifton.
He has been appropriately designa
ted as '‘Tifton’s Starter.”
His love for the beautiful in na
t,ure; for growing trees and bloom
ing flowers, led him many years ago
to take a lead in planting the trees
that now beautify our city. His
work on the Park and Tree Commis
sion has been a work of love and
therefore a work that was largely
perfect. He can no more endure a
sick tree than he can bear to look
upon a sick animal; therefore, he is
Tifton’s “Tree Doctor.” Our court
house square and grammar school
grounds are but specimens *of his
work.

in these higher things. Then, the

should do its part, and we will have
an arch that will be a fitting honor
to Columbus Fulwood and an honor
to Tifton.

Hardest Worked Of AM Public Ser¬

(P'r^m Dougluaville Sentinel.)
We’ve thought over it a good bit
we’ve about come to the conclu
don that there is no profession on
earth in which the worKer gets less
appreciation and more knocks and
abuse than in the newspaper game.
And we have also reached the con
elusion that the reason all newspa
oer edit(tf;a go to heaven when they
die is they get so much of the
place while they’re on earth.
No matter how nobly the editor
boosts for the development of his
town and community, no matter how
loyally he may support a friend
politics or extoll the virtues of a
citizen of the town, no matter how
loudly he sings the praises of
town belle about to wed or how
tly he lays a wreath of pretty words

and little cheering words that could

he always will. He was born to help
the other fellow and, like the
learned early in life that if no one
else feeds him heaven may. And
that’s why the Lord keeps so many
editors on earth—to keep the hal
ance of the world from souring and
turning stale.
