«'I notice you are not very
nartial to ‘rade editions,” re
;n,rked a well known business
Jlian and liberal, advertiser to
me a few days ago, “and after
haV ing been‘taken in’ by a
number of‘trade editions, why
] want to commend you for this
‘lack of enterprise.’ ”.
o o o
That merchant has studied
the situation closely ana after
inl > n y years and much expendi
ng of cash, he has learned
w hat 1 discovered when I had
published my first, last and only
trade edition, viz: That there
was good money in it for the
publisher, but absolutely a poor
investment for the advertiser.
O O 0
I get out that trade edition
many years ago and did ALL I
promised in the number of ex
tra papers. The state press was
very generous in its compli
ments,while my personal friends
were unusually kind in their
comments. From a financial
standpoint, the venture was a
splendid success.
000
Os course, too, the paper earn
ed every dollar it received—but
—the advertiser in this case, as
as in 95 per cent of similar in
vestments, recieved decidedly
poor returns. I satisfied myself !
fiat the paper could serve its
pations better by the “steady-j
drop-melts a-rock” plan, and |
quit the‘'special edition busi
ness alter the one trial.
000
However, I keenly appreciate
the compliment paid me by this
observant merchant.
000
Tomorrow your Uncle Allen
D. Candler will be nominated,
and next fall he will be elected
givernor of Georgia by an old
fashioned Democratic majori
of from 80,000 to 100,000.
000
His was a remarkable ca m
paign. But the man of desti |
went up against the Sun
day bull fighters, the possum
eaters and the politicians who
infest die state from mountains
to the seaboard—and he routed
them from every jtronghold.
000
hou may say that it is bad
political policy for me to make
comments on the recent cam
paign. Perhaps it is, but not
being a politician, why, I don’t
tare. [ believed from the first
that Spencer and Bob were
running mates”—l believed
Candler would carry 100 coun
ties and I believed then and be
lieve now that the anti-Candler
leaders would do little or noth
ing for the nominee in the fall
elections.
000
Now see the shape things are
1,1 ing. Here is “Handsome
Bob the ' ‘Th undering Ajax”—
11 politician of the first Atkin—
sonian brand, already appointed
a Lieutenant Colonel and sent
the front by“ Brigadier Bill.’’
Why?
000
hy, one reason is that Bob
a ' d his voice, his matchless elo
'luence would have to take the
sl ump in favor of Allen D. Can
di >• And W. Y. Atkinson, the
' nder, who in both races fell so
*■" behind his ticket would feel
Powerful bad if your Uncle Allen
‘"cd the cld time democratic
majority.
T 0 o O
Liigadier Bill” may be relied
I 11 to do all that he dares to
t down Candler’s majority.
I Tlnre are scores of military <dli
jeers in Georgia who aie - more
I able and more deserving for ihe
! lieutenant colonelcy than the
professional politician “Mr.
] Bob.”
o o o
But it’s alright. The Meyer
hardt letter was loaded. The men
who manipulated it “didn’t
know it was loaded.” The peo
ple have sense. Your Uncle Al
len will have 268 votes in the
nominating convention tomor
row. lie carried 100 counties to
37 for the running mates. Next
fall he will have a 100,000 ma
jority—at least it will be nearer
100,000 than it will be to either
of “Brigadier Bills” majorities.
Mark that piediction.

A female relative of Admiral
Dewey gives a brief sketch of
his boyhood days, in which she
says: “While George was not
quite as bad as Mark Twain’s
Tom Sawyer, he was easily one
of the most mischievous boys in
Montpelier. He plaved hooky,
stoned the nei t ho >r’s cats,
smoked a clay pipe behind the!
barn, considered the whole year!
one continuous April fool’s day,
and, to his infinite disgust, was,
compelled to wear nice clothes. I
He had a tender place in his,
heart for the girls, and was
quite a hero in the eyes of
Montpelier’s diminutive belles.”
FATHER CLIFFORD IS ll_L.
He is Lying 111 at the St. Joseph
Infirmary on Courtland Ave.
Rev. Father M . J. Clifford, of
Augusta, one of the most devoted
membel’s of the Catholic priest-!
hood of the diccese of Georgia, I
is lying vey ill at St. Joseph’s
infirmary.
Father Clifford was stricken
with paralysis some time ago j
and was sent to the infirmary i
for treatment.
Since that time, in spite of
the most careful nursing and
attention, he has shown no signs
of recovering.
Father Clifford i c well known
tn Atlanta, where he has thous
ands of friends outside the mem
bers of his church. He was for
several years connected with the
Rome parish, which included
quite a large number of churches
scattered throughout the moun
tains of North Georgia and East
Tennessee, and during that time
he performed an enormous
amount of pastoral work.
Prayers were offered for his
recovery at the Church of Im
maculate Conception yesterday.
