And the w..iter conies on apace.
The demagogue and jawsmilh
are now out of a job.

The campaign just closed has
been one of fusion, refusion, effu
sion and confusion.
Atlanta is threatened with a wa
t »r famine and the milkmen are in
great distress.
T-r-r Cobb has repented of his
folly and come back home to the
Democrats.

Whether Bryan wins or not he
has made the most remarkable
campaign of any man who was ever
a candidate for president.

Human nature as developed
around the political pie counter,
is an interesting if not profitable
study.

There are a whole lot of people
who have jest found out how much
they didn’t know about the elec
tion.
A defaulting treasurer of Ohio
was named Legg but he could not
get away. The authorities “pull
ed” him.

The gentle humor and sage phi
losophy of the paragrapher on the
Augusta Herald is splendid. There
is never a dull issue, editorially of
that paper.
Georgia pays to her wounded
and indignent soldiers and sold
iers’ widows the sum of $545,140.
This sum goes to nearly 10,000
pensioners.
And they’ve started an ear fac
tory up north. Well, nature has
been very economical with some
people we know in the matter of
ears.

It is supposed that one reason
why old Satan is constantly going
up and down the earth is because
they make it too hot for the old
man to stay at home.
It is said that the Populists will
put out candidates for the supreme
court judgeships, and the names of
Judge Hines and Walter B. Hill
have been mentioned in that con
nection
There is a very decided improve
ment in the Columbus Enquirer-
Sun of late and a glance at the ad
vertising pages of that paper would
seem to indicate that the publish
ers are reapinf ths fruits of their
enterprise.
While the Populist-prohibition
candidate for governor was de
feated by a large majority, the
cause of temperance has taken no
backward step. It is stronger, to
day. and in safer and more secure
hands, than ever before.
Verily, yea verily, the Demo
cratic party in Georgia has had*
some heavy burdens to bear and it
seems that the worst has not come
yet. —Rome Commercial.
What about the men who go into
Democratic primaries and then
knife the nominees at every turn?
Oh. consistency !
There is one thing for which the
farmers of this section are to be
congratulated, and that is the fact
that for the last few years they
have raised their meat and bread
at home. As a result of this wise
course they are in better condition
financially, than for many years
past. There is said to be more
hogs in the country this fall than
usual, and the outlook for hog and
hominy for another year is all
right.
As to Advertising.
Some merchants seem to hold
to the opinion that every dollar
spent in advertising is just that
much thrown away; or if not that,
just so much contributed to the
publisher of,the paper because he
is always hard up and needy.
If these people will glance over
the advertising pages of the Rome,
Atlanta or Chattanooga papers
they will see how badly they are
mistaken.
Take, for instance, four or five
of the leading firms in Rome, who
do the bulk of the dry goods busi
ness, and they are all liberal ad
vertisers. They know that prin
ter’s ink judiciously used, is a won
derful aid m drawing trade, and
they act accordingly.
The shrewd, wide awake mer
chants of Atlanta do not pay $125
a page for a single issue in the
Journal or Constitution, for char
ity’s sake. It is strictly a matter
of business. When they pay these
seemingly exorbitant prices for
advertising space, they expect, and
receive large returns from the out
lays; and the very fact that they
keep up this line of policy of lib
eral expenditure fer advertising
purposes from year to year is the
best evidence possible that it pays
them handsomely.
There is a lesson in these busi
ness facts that we believe the mer
chants of Summerville might profit
by. It is true that some of them
are reasonably liberal on this line,
but others are not, and we cannot
but believe that a different line of
policy would be better, both for
them and the home paper.
The merchants here are enter
prising to a degree in the matter
of keeping full and complete stocks
of all the latest and most desira
ble goods in all lines of trade in
demand in this section. As a rule
they keep a better and more stylish
line of goods than can be found in
any town of its size in all north
Georgia. They have all the facil
ities for buying them as cheap as
they can be bought by any one,
and with these advantages they
are in a position to reach out all
over the country for that class of
trade that wants a better grade of
goods than can usually be found
in the country stores.
And right here is where the ben
efits of advertising comes in. The
News covers an area of territory
contiguous to Summerville, yet
the trade of which does not nearly
all come here. Now a large per
centage of this trade might be se
cured by proper and judicious ef
fort.
To do this it is necessary to keep
your business prominently before
the public. Tell them in "the pa
per, in black faced type, of the
splendid line of goods you carry,
and of the bargains you can give
them. Show them that your stock
is fuller and more complete than
elsewhere, and than that they Lave
a much larger and more elegant
line of goods to select from. In
this way the area of trade could
be extended over a considerable
section of country which now does
its trading mainly elsewhere.
The News is now in position to
give its advertising patrons better
service than ever before. New’and
attrative faces of type have been
added; better and heavier paper
is being used, and altogether the
make up and contents of the paper
are such as to make its advertising
pages more valuable.
Now a word in conclusion : Try
a nice display ad in the News,
coupled with judicious and timely
reading notices in the local col
umns and see if it don’t pay you
handsomely. If it does not then
the experience of the leading and
most successful merchants in the
country goes for naught.
The newspapers are now volun
teering much valuable advice to
the legislators.
Whenever a Populist becomes
convinced that it is to his interest
to return to the Democratic party
the way ought to be made pleasant
for him. Let it be understood that
there is a light in the window for
all of the prodigals.
YESTERDAY’S ELECTION.

Atlanta.—lndications point to
the election of the Democratic
electorial ticket by 35,000 majori
ty in this state. It is probable
that the entire cungressional rep
resentation will be Democratic,
with the possible exception of the
Tenth district, where West, the
law’ partner of Thomas E. Watson,
is giving William 11, Fleming, the
Democratic nominee, a close race.
In the First district, Doyle, who
was postmaster at Savannah dur
ing Harrison’s administration, is
leading in Chatham, the county
which gave the largest Democratic
majority in the recent state elec
tion. The result there will be
very close, but the other counties
in that district will probably give
Lester, Democrat, a majority great
enough to insure his election.
In the other districts the Demo
crats will get increased majorities.
Notice.
A convention of the people of
Chattooga county is hereby called
to meet at the court house in
Summerville on Saturday, Nov.
14th, 1896, for the purpose of elect
ing two delegates to the convention
to be held in Atlanta, Nov. 18th,
to nominate candidates for judges
of the Supreme court.

Growing ■
Children
One-third of all the children
die before they are five years |
old. Most of them die of some I
wasting disease. 1 hey grow £
very slowly ; keep thin in flesh; h
are fretful; food does not do a
them much good. You can’t I
say they have any disease, yet 0
they never prosper. A slight |
cola, or some stomach and S
bowel trouble takes them away 9
easily.
SCOTT’S EMULSION of g
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos- g
phites is just the remedy for |
growing ch : ldren. It makes g
hard flesh; sound flesh; not [
soft, flabby fat. It makes |

SIOO Reward SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its woik. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars Reward for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address,

pared to meet their bills when our

The election of a United States sen
ator will be held next Tuesday. Gov.

J. W. Robertson and Pat Walsh are
