WHO HAS A SUGGESTION TO OFFER?
The Herald is the people’s paper. The one purpose of its being is
to give the people of Augusta and the surrounding country the best
newspaper that it is possible to print, a newspaper to give the news,
all the news that Is fit to print, for all the people, and to promote the
best interests of Augusta and of every worthy cause. The Herald is ab
solutely independent, having no axe to grind for itself, and wearing no
strlngß to be pulled in the interest, of any man or set of men or of any
special Interest,, it is no man’s organ; but it is simply a newspaper,
to supply the people the news, in the best possible form and of the
widest possible range so that all the people may find in The Herald each
day that In which they are specially interested, whether it tie market or
fashion, church or state, of interest to men, women or children. This
is the ideal newspaper, in this day when the newspaper goes into prao
fically every borne, and is read by every member of the family, and it is
such a newspaper The Herald aspires to be, and to making which every
member of Its force puts forth every effort.
To this end also The Herald a year ago invited suggestions from
its readers as to what might be done to still further improve the paper,
with the offer of a year's subscription to five who should send in the most
practical suggestions. In response to this invitation several hundred
letters were received, which was most gratifying since it evidenced the
interest the people were taking in The Herald, and how they appreci
ated the efforts of its managers to make it most fully a real People’s
paper. Some of these suggestions were of course impracticable, for they
wore made without a proper understanding of circumstances or condi
tions. Hut some were very good, and were adopted and have led to im
proved service.
Encouraged t?y this, and always striving for further improvement.,
The Herald again invites such suggestions, and will again present a
year’s subscript ion to five of its readers who shall make the best and
quest praetlcal suggestion as to what should be done to make The Her
ald still better, or of greater Interest to any class of its readers. This
opens a wide field, for there are so many classes of readers, and sa
many departments which must, all be combined in a modern daily paper.
What can he done to Improve the local or outside news service; what
can be done to make the paper of greater interest to various readers?
How could its news, editorial, society or children’s pages be improved?
How could its typographical appearance be made better or Its delivery
service made more perfect? All these and many other questions enter
into this subject, and suggestions of any sort are invited.
To those five who shall send In the most practical suggestion The
Herald will be sent free for one year. The award will be made on
March 15.
THE ATLANTA SPIRIT IN A BAD LIGHT AND IN
A WEAVING WAY.
On the afternoon of the 17th Inst., The Herald took occasion to
mlldlv set before the people of the state the facts in regard to tho
new canning factory that Augusta capital and enterprise is erecting, and
which is already calling for bids and making contract's for 1,090 tons of
tomatoes, 100 tons of sweet potatoes, 100 tons of peaoheß, and 100 tons
of beans.
A few days ago, the Constitution printed this advertisement of tho
Augusta Canning Factory which has appeared in The Herald and the
other local paper, carefully and painstakingly shearing the advertise
ment of all identity, so that nothing could possibly connect it in the
‘mind of the reader with Augusta, Its newspapers, The Herald or any of
Its poople. Was this fair and generous? Was It worth while? Was
It a good Illustration of the Atlanta spirit?
If canning factories Are good things for Georgia, if such an advertise
ment of the Augusta Canning Factory is worth commenting upon as an
illustration and incentive to the people of the whole state, why was it
not equally worth while to state that Augusta enterprise had already
shown Its faith, blazed the way and began the work of keeping some
of this money at homo? *
In commenting upon this rather typical instance of editorial utter
ance on ihe part of the Constitution The Herald In Its Issue of the 17th
inst. said:
Perhaps ho feared that It would wound the Atlanta spirit were
he to say that, this canning factory was in Augusta. This city had
been made Mr. Tuft’s wlntor home. It has long been Mr. Rockefel
lers winter home. The great men of the country all have their eyes
on Augusta and come hero when they can. without giving Atlanta a
thought. This Is a bitter dose for the Atlanta spirit, and charing
tills to the full tho office boy just couldn’t mention that It was Au
gusta also, which Is to opmate this Mg canning faaJory. Hence his
vague Identification of ’’A Georgia Newspaper” instead of the more
specific and shorter ’‘Augusta Herald.”
Then this same Atlanta spirit led him Into a very bad error.
He claims to give “A literal transcript” of the ad, when In fact he
does not. His transcript Is mutilated. It was the Augusta Can
ning Factory which advertised for bids for 1,300 tons of products to
can, and not a—Canning Factory,
Having thus tangled the web he was weaving it 1r not strange
Ihnl lie should fall Into further error. This ad. does not "mean that
the canning factory hns encountered difficulty in securing sufficient
crude products to support*lts Industry,” for it Is a new enterprise,
and It simply took the course which always bringß results, to avert
such a condition, by letting its wants bo known to tho public through
the advertising columns of the paper that reaches the people. As
a consequence tho desired contracts have been or will be made, and
the industry will be supported by sufficient crude products to keep
it running to Its full capacity during tho season.
The Augusta Cnnnlng Factory will keep in the state a part of
the millions that heretofore have been sent out annually for canned
goods. And the people of Atlanta will find the produets of the Au
gusta Canning Factory of superior quality, and should place their
orders early to avoid the rush.
• The Constitution In Its issue dated February 19th returns to tho sub
ject and contributes the following editorial expression;
The esteemed Augusta Herald waxes reproachful because The
Constitution, In reproducing for editorial purposes tho following ad
vertisement, failed to stnte the locality and that it was found in the
ever illuminating columns of tho former paper:
Wanted To Contract for 1,000 Tons Tomatoes, 1,00 Tons Sweet
Potatoes, 100 Tons Poaches, 100 Tons Beans. Canning Factory.
In the first place, in reprinting thnt advertisement. The Consti
tution was moved by the impulse to comment upon the relative
scarcity of home Industries in Georgia and the impressive sums we
are annually throwing away hv neglecting to develop such Indus
tries. We wore stressing a condition, not concrete but abstract, not
local but general. We were calling attention to a state-w T lde oppor
tunity.
In the next place, had we deemed it (Apedtent to credit tho
source nf the canning advertisement, wo would have been "dee
lighted" to have thus distinguished the interesting Herald, had it
not been for the trivial technicality that we read the advertisement
in~
The»Augusta Chronicle, and clipped it from the columns of that
paper.
"Thnt's alii”
So far so good. The Herald is satisfied that justice is done and
not so tardy at that when our calling attention on the afternoon of the
17th, hero tn Augusta brings bright and early on the morning of the
19th, an acknowledgement from the Constitution that it was the Au
gusta Canning Factory and not a Canning Factory. It has of course
broken our heart that the Constitution failed to clip this ad. from Tho
Herald, but we are relieved to see that credit is now given to the
Augusta Chronicle instead of w "Goorgia Newspaper.”
On the other hand, we welcome the Constitution as one of the con
stant readers of The Herald's editorial columns, and we appreciate tho
promptness of its reply to The Herald's editorial of the 17th inst.
though, we still think that tn fairness to Augusta and its enterprise fuli
credit should have been given the city and its new canning factory in
the Constitution's original publication.
IT APPEALS TO MACON.
The Macon News also discusses canning factories, like tho Atlanta
Constitution having been led thereto by an ad which appeared in the
Augusta Herald Valiko The Constitution. The News does not try to
hide the fact that It is Augusta which has established a big cauning
factory Vnllke The Constitution The News also states that It saw this
ad iu The Herald, which may Induce the suggestion that when any
thing is road in The Herald it has a more wholesome effect. Says The
News, anent the new Augusta Canning Factory.:
Over in Augusta a former distiller has determined to become a canner
of vegetables. Instead of a canner ot folks.
"One hundred tons sweet potatoes, a great big cannery. His pre
servation of vegetables will be by a different process from that used on
men.
In The Augusta Herald of a few days ago there appeared the follow.
lng advertisement:
"Wanted to contract for one thousand tons bf tomatoes.
"One hundred tons of peaches
"One hundred tons of beans"
"One hundred tons of Sweet Potatoes"
These products were to bo delivered in season at the cannery *and
were to be paid for In cash.
What does this mean for Augusta's immediate agricultural territo
ry’

STRENGTHENING THE PROHIBITION LAWS
Attempts in Varioas States Plainly Indicate
That Prohibition Does Not Prohibit
The Missouri legislature, In common
with the legislature of a number of
other States, some of which are nu

to devise new ways for strengthen
ing its prohibitory laws, and to this
end a number of bills on the subject
have been introduced. One of these
is to compel habitual imbibers of the
"ardent” in dry sections to tell under
oath from whom they obtained the
Intoxicants. Another prohibits solicit
ing orders for Intoxicants in no li
cense territory, and still another pro
hibits railroads from receiving, trans
porting or delivering tntoxicanting li
quors in such territory.
"All of them,” says the St. Louis
