One of the prettiest and per
haps the most dainty suit of fur
niture ever brought to this city
is no\v vn exhibition at the Mc-
Donald-Sparks-Stev. art Co’s Furni
ture house and can and should be
seen by everybody. It is made of
White Maple and in point of de
sign and execution of workman
ship it is a marvel. But then if
you want to see beautiful furni
ture of any description why this is
the place and if you want to buy
it—no other plade’ on earth can
suit you half so well. Fact.

Speaking of the McDonald-
Sparks-Stewart Co., do you know
that they have purchased the en
tire stock and good will of Mr. W.-
A. Rhudy’s establishment? Well,
they have and while they will close
out the stock of furniture where it
stands, they propose moving the
undertaking establishment branch
of the Rudy business down to their
present stand where they propose
to conduct it in future.

J. Bird Daniels and Terrell
Speed were in to see me a few mo*
ments today. J. Bird says that he
can name the populists by the
hundred who will not vote for Dr.
Felton. At a conservative estimate
I am of the opinion that Our John
will get all the democrats, which
means about’6,ooo majority, and
will then divide the vote of the
populists with the Bartow “Flop
per.”

The Democratic rally to be held
at Rome on next Saturday will be
the biggest thing of the kind held
in North West Georgia, during
the past two years. When General
Evans, Major Gus Bacon and the
peerless Bob Burner mount the
same stump during the same day,
pops will do well to stand from
under. Remember the rally is to
be made in the Sam Jones division
of the Howell Co’s big cotton
war house. Remember the date
and mark it as engaged.

I notice that A. B. McArver &
Co. are moving from the old Nor
ton Corner to the “Bee Hive”
stand in the magnificent medical
building, between A. O. Garrard’s
millinery house and J. T. Crouch
& Co’s drug store. Mr. McArver
could not have found a better
stand and moved into a better
neighborhood. He is ready for
business and with the biggest and
best stock he has ever offered the
trade, he proposes to make it warm
for competition.
I notice in this morning’s Consti
tution, the following item which will
prove interesting to Romans: “Hous
ton R Harper formerly of the Rome
Tribune, will soon sail for England,
where he will receive the fortune left
him by a late rich lelative. With the
cash that comes to him a palatial
residence near Lsndon forms > J pleas
ing background picture.’
*
* *
There seems to be a fatality about
this working on the Tribune—Only
a few weeks ago Editor James A.
Hall was fortunate enough to have
a rich old California uncle to die
and make him very, very very
wealthy; and now Mr. John Reese,
Reesently city editor of that paper
has been promoted to a position
on’the Hustler of Rome. But
then, there’s nothing like averag
ing up ones fortunes on this sub
lunary sphere.

A letter from the Marietta base

they could not come to Rome until
next week, Macon, Cave Spring.
Lyerly, Holland’s aud Silver Creek all
wish to play here next week, and it
is probable that there will be several
games.

INGENIOUS PLAN FOR DECEPTION.
Wiley Schemer* trying to Sell Inferior
Cyclopedia* Under Pretense* That Are
Fal*e—»there Is No VN* So Simple butt
AHSiune* Some Mark of Virtue in 1114
Outward Parts.”
We clip the following from the At
lanta Constitution in the hope that it
will protect our readers against the
misrepresentations of any unreliable
book agents who may approach them.
The Constitution is certainly doing au
excellent work in the way of encourag
ing methods of home education. And
it is to be deplored that there are per
sons so unscrupulous as to take advan
tage of the great interest which has
thus heell aroused and attempt to turn
it tf> their own personal gain.
It would be bad enough if they simply
defrauded The Constitution of the right
ful reward for its liberal educational
enterprise, but what is worse, these
pretenders are palming off on an unsus
pecting public ajj sorts of ixjferigy pub
lications, at a pnee nearly sufficient to
buy the genuine new edition of the En
cyclopaedia Britannica, now offered at
{specif introdpetiory rates by The Con
stitution. Tire Constßytien says: z— •
In Wednesday's Constitution the lead
ing editorial was devoted to an expose of
the insidious attempt of the jute trust to
deceive cotton shippers. This brings us to
the consideration of another matter upon
which the publie should be informed.
Believing that the wide dissemination
of ihe new edition of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica would he a lasting and decided
benelil to the people of this section, a
special introductory contract was secured
from the Britannica publishers wholly in
the interest of our renders. The Consti
tution is not in the book business for any
profit on the sales. It is not concerned, in
a pecuniary sense, further thab the legiti
mate increase of the number of subscrib
ers to the daily and the weekly Constitu
tion. The knowledge of the educational
good it is accomplishing through this lib
eral offer would alone be sufficient recom
pense for the entire undertaking.
This liberal enterprise of The Constitu
tion has excited the cupidity of certain
persons who have other books to sell.
Taking advantage of our methods for in
troduction of Britannica into houses not
already provided, they seek to cunningly
impress prospective buyers that they can
offer something “practically the same” or
“just as good.” This Is deceptive, and we
wish our readers to understand that the
new edition of the Encyclopedia Britan
nica is just off the press; that it has never
been offered to the public before in any
section of the United States, and that it
can be had only from The Constitution or
its authorized representatives. All others
purporting to be the same are so prwent
ed for the purpose of deception.
This is a matter to which The Constitu
tion h*s Is-en slow to make reference, be
cause we recognise the right of every man
to advance his own pecuniary interest* by
selling any books he may have or may be
able to obtain. While no reference library
can be found equal to the new edition of
the Encyclopedia Britannica, vet The Cob
' stltutlon recognizes the fact that this does
not render other reference libraries value
less; and there may tie those who could
1 not afford to purchase the best even at the ,
exceptionally low introductory now
offered to The Constitution readers. It
would lie an undoubted blessing to such
to obtain a reference library of any sort
that would come within th<4r means* for
all reference books are valuable aids to
ward self-education.
There can lx-no objection, therefore, to
other persons offering their books for sale
anywhere and at any time thj*y sepjit, so
long as ther confiiw* themselves 'to the
truth, and sell their boobs al proper puces,
not attempting by i.eceptivw gieUugJs, to
obtain for their inferior works a prick
which would enable the purchaser. bad
he not been deceived, to obtain the genu
ine new edition of the Encylopaedla Brit
tanica. It would be all well enough if
these inferior works were sold at a price
proportionate, but those who buy should
understand that they are not getting the
new edition, or anything like it. A refer
ence to anv modern subject, such as Aus
tralian ballot system, welding iron by elec
tricity, electrocution, etc., snow how ut
terly inadequate these out-of-date editions
are to fill the needs of a man who wants
up-to-date information.
Some of these itinerants have been so
' bold as to use language intended to lead
buyers to believe that they were represen
tatives of The Constitution. A little care,
however, will uncover this mask, ax every
person who is authorized to offer the new
edition of t he Encyclopaedia Britannica is
provided with a letter of identification
from The Constitution. If not provided
with such a letter, which the buyer has a
right to ses. purchasers may know he
is not a representative of The Constitu
tion, nor has he the genuine new edition
of the Encyclopaedia Britannica for sale.
