CAUSE OF FAILURE.
A significant fact in connection
with the failure of ten large busi
ness houses in New York, since
Christmas, is that none of them
advertised. Th'-y all carried well
selected stocks of salable goods
—principally holiday specialties.
They were like fine, big engines
without steam. They had every
thing but the grand motive pow
er—advertising.
The above from the National
Advertiser, a thoroughly reputa
ble and reliable publication, is
worthy of careful consideration.
In this day of newspapers, mag
azines and other regular periodi
cals, the people have been edu
cated up to the point where they
naturally look to them to see who
are anxious to sell, what they
sell and how they sell it. Posters,
handbills and dodgers have a
mission to serve, and they serve
it well. When a firm wishes to
attract special attention to special
stuff at a special time, these
things are useful. But they “per
ish with the using.” It is read,
crumpled up in the hand, and
thrown away. Not so with the
standing newspaper ad. It is
read around the tireside and dis
cussed, the paper passed to the
neighbor and the merchant and
his goods become the topic of
neighborhood talk. If one is
sue of the paper is lost before a
trip can be made to town, why
the ad will appear in the next is
sue telling of the goods and where
to find them.
John Wannamaker, one of the
most extensive newspaper adver
tisers in the world, says that it
pays better than any other, and
that for a merchant to take his
advertisement out of the paper is
about equal to taking down his
sign. Every merchant who has
grown rich and great in com
mercial circles, so far as our
knowledge goes, says that news
paper advertising is the best.
The reason many say that it does
not pay, is found in the fact that
they go at it so grudgingly and
sparingly. The way to do it is to
buy plenty of space, carefully
word the advertisement and keep
it up. It has paid others, and it
will pay you.
Now that Governor Sandier
has received the deeds to the
farm upon which certain of the
state’s convicts are to be placed,
Georgians will have the oppor
tunity of seeing whether or not
it will prove a satisfactory solu
tion of that long debated ques
tion. Properly managed we can
see no serious obstruction in the
way. To say the least of it, the
movement is dominant with the
instincts of humanity, and at the
same time provides a place where
old and infirm criminals, includ
ing women and children, can be
made to sutler such penalty as
their offences and their physical
strength warrant and require. It
is greatly to be hoped that it is
the thing we have been looking
for.
The Atlanta correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph wrote a
long str : ng of stuff to that paper
t e other day, charging that la
dies and other callers at the gov
ernor’s mansion were not treated
with proper respect, and that
some fellow with the classical
“entitlement” of Sam, must needs
be “tipped” to the amount of 25
cents. The papers of the state are
writing about it, and a great many
people are talking about it, and
—there is nothing in it. It is a
very small tempest in a very di
minutive teapot! The idea ol
honest, plain old Allen Candler
being “exclusive” and hard to
see ! Why it is ridiculous ! We
once lived neighbor to him, and
not only the doors of his resi
dence, but the gates to his yard,
stood open night and day !

In his speech before the Duck

that territorial expansion is jhe
corning question. He said t'r.'it
colonial policy was unwise, aid
that when the war enthusiasn
of the people dies out they woud
see the evil of it—he appealed
from “Philip drunk to Philp

Aii Interesting Letter From Mr
Bunn to
MBS. J. DALLAS TURNER
I
Os This City- Several Important
Instances Told by a Soldier
Boy at The Front.
The following interesting letter
was received in this city by Mrs.
ij. Dallas Turner, from her broth
er Mr. Bunn, of Cedartown, who
is now with the 3rd Immunes,
Col. Ray’s regiment, in Cuba.
It is one of the most interesting
letters received from Uncle Sam’s
new acquisitions. Owing to its
length, however, we are forced to
publish it i ntwo issues :
My Dear Sister:—Since my
last letter I have covered the en
tire Province of Santiago, that is
on its coast line. I have been in
land too, wherever my duties
have taken me. I can say with
much truth that Manzanillo is
the best town in the province,
with Gibara on the north coast
just opposite second. Santiago is,
by tar, the least attractive city IJ
have yet encountered, with
Guantanamo a close second.
At Manzanillo is located the
4th Immune regiment, Col. Pettit
in command. He is a most refined
gentleman and pleasant company,
and lam compelled to admit,
though lam loyal to the regi
ment mostly enlisted from Geor
gia, the 3rd, that he has about
the best of the immune regiments
I have seen. He had more time
to prepre his regiment for service
than the others here, as he only i
reached his post about the 15th of
October. This is the place where
Col. Ray came near having to
shoot, a story I presume almost
every one is familiar with. The
dispatch reports only made one!
mistake in telling it. They didn’t
tell how really near they came to
a fight, and at what fearfuj odds
the Georgians were against.
, If I remember correctly, my
“ last letter to you, left me at
Guantanamo, patiently awaiting
an opportunity of getting back to
Santiago, that Manzanillo inci
dent afforded me the means.
While in the act of closing
that letter, Col. Ray came by
booted and spurred, with sword
striking the floor every time his
left foot did, stopped, turned and
j looked at me through that curtain,
formed by long, gray eyelashes,
and said : “So you want to get
back to Santiago, do you ?” After
assuring him that I thought it
my duty to go and rejoin my
I companions in that miserable
place, he said “I guess ifyou will
I watch me, and say nothing you
can go in a tew hours.”
1 soon saw several army wag
ons turn into the direction of the
station, and pretty soon company
i C, came marching by, I could not
I refrain from breaking Col. Ray’s
last injunction, at least by asking
a few questions. I was simply
Hold by the adjutant “Manzanil

I Capt. C. R. Warren go by, ac-
Icompanied by company L. and
I then came F and K. All the ofli-
Icers seemed to know thatsome-
Ithing was up, for Manzanillo at
■that time had never been evacu
