ls It Fair?
For the last year or more this
paper lias refused to take any
advertisement from other places
which would have come in com¬
petition with onr merchants
here; we have done all in our
power to bring trade to C<uyers
and wo have u'-ed our best ef
foris to induce our to do
all their trading here. We
have spent everything we have
made here at home with our
businessmen. Whatever bene¬
fits luivo been de-'-ed from our
efforts t e merchants of Con¬
yers have received ti cm. Hi w
wi ll i t:r efforts arc appreciated
can he seen by a glance at out
advertising columns—not an nd
from anyone. We know, and
all live business men know, that
judicious ndv ert in ig | »vh, and
the mi ii bants who refuse c:
fisil lo advert be i ot only allow.
t lie* reputation of I-.is town to g*
down lull injures his individual
business. Xcws])iij ct's can,'
afford to fui nibli offices, bin
printers, buy pit per and issue ;
newspaper to build up tlie trndc
of a town for merchants who
arc unwilling to give the pat¬
ronage that is due it. It seems
to us that no fair business man
should ask such service. No
newspaper can do it and livo.
It is not fair for the merchants
and other business men of Con
yers to force their newspapers
to go to olhor towns for patron¬
age to the hurt of their own
town.
Governor Atkinson’s Start.
When Mr. Atkinson won tin
democratic nomination for Gov¬
ernor, there were not a few peo
pic who seemed to think that
his success meant a division in
the party. If thero was cvei
such a divission,it has passed
away, and its absente is large¬
ly due to the wisdom with which
the new governor has exercised
his authority, In his appoint
melds there has been no ovi
deuce of the existence of the
“ring” so much talked about
during the campaign, Th.
men who wore said to make up
that ring have net been promi¬
nent. since the campaign, and i
is now appavi nt that if the;
look a prominent l ar) in the
eampnig': itself, they did so in
Vindication of a policy which
they thought wise for the part '
and for the pooplo of the state
They might justifiably liavi
claimed i he rewards of success
That they have done so is un lei
all the circumstances, highly
creditable to them.
Our Atlanta correspondent
yesterday, commenting upon
the attitude toward Mr. 'Atkin
son’s administration campaign,
said those who have seen the
records have marveled at the
absencsFof indorsements from
these men a 1m have given lo
nobody the influence of their
personal 'relations with chief
vxccutive, but when it came to
the question of appointment
stood hands off and told the
governor to name the men who
would uphold his administrn
lion best, without regard to per
sonnl pefercuces or relations,
Our corresponded! adds that
this is one of the most- retuarK
able foal ares iff the \v adm.n
istrnlion, and so it is.
The nomination and election
of Governor Atkinson means the
coming forward of new loaders,
not a division in the party, and
these new loaders are showing
themselves in the highest de
capable of so managing
fairs as to give the state good
government; unity in the party,
and inspire it with aggressive
courage. Those who suppoittd
Governor Atkinson in the cam¬
paign have reason to congratu¬
late themselves that they did so

A Good Time to Study Politics.
Now is the time to study pol¬
itics. If you are a party man,
or, if you care anything about
your political franchise, get you
a work of political economy,
and collect up a few volumes of
political history, and some of
the congressional records, and
such other hooks nsyou can get,
and sit down to yourself at your
leisure fer tile next t o years
while llie political b > tide is in
and see if y.ui < an’t he i n some¬
thing ili.il wiii good in
tin-n‘*xt campaign. Too many

dan to co no along And get on

and finally telNhem how to vote
uni it makes very little differ
nee whether lie is a demagogue
or a patriot, if he is a democrat
or a populist, as the case may
ho. There arc two things the
people must learn : First thal
they must study soberly and
think for themselves, Unbiased
by the heat of a campaign, and
second, that parties and princi¬
ples are useless unless backed
up and supported by sound and
patriotic men in office. In ether
words, principles in a party plat¬
form are not worthy as ranch as
principles in officers. “Is he
capable? Is he honest?” is the

Cottoon vs. Truck Fanning.
The farmers away up hero in
Gwinnett, fifty miles above the
true cotton belt of the state,
have for yo.rs devoted their en¬
ergy and capital lo raising cot¬
ton* They have manag'd to livo
and kcop the wolf from the door
until the I .sc twelve mmths.
With the ] resent price of the
staple they see that they are to
use on old expression, “saving
at the spiggot. and an 1 wastii g
at the bung.” In other words,
they are spending more than
they make'. And every intelli¬
gent farm r is looking at xi.jus
ly around for some business that
will bring a clear profit. Every
man recognizes that he must
change his systom or go to the
wall.
Common business prudence
admonishes him that he cannot
make money raising cotton,
corn and wheat, and these ate
important elements in all farm
economy,
Let us make a suggestion,
for we earnestly desire to aid
the people in building Up their
home enterprises, and to aid the
farmer in making his venture a
success.
We have been forcibly im
pressed with a recent interview
iu the Atlanta Constitution with
'ho produce men of Broad street
It demons rates that there is
more money in truck farming
than any other class For in
stance, one farmer who devoted
several acres to onions made
abort ten dollars clear over his
neighbor who planted cocton.
That is one item alone. There
is more money in cabbage, Irish
potatoes, celery and a dozen
j other crops t an in cotton.
“But,” men ask, “where will
I find a market for these articl
'es?” Tho answer is right in At
Two-tbirds of the truck
business of the city comes
other sta'es. Tennessee
nishes th . butter and Irish
tatoes tin t ought to be supplied
right here at home.
With our facilities in
ett county for transportation we
can run the Western farmers
out of the market. But we can’t
lo it by raising cotton. They
get the cream of the business,
while our farmers cat the dry
husks of 5 cent cotton.
Broad and Decatur streets,
Atlanta, will buy everything
you have to sell, from a peck of
turnip greens to a load of pota¬
toes .
