A WORD WITH ADVERTISERS.
Some Sensible Suggestions on the
Subject.
From the National Advertiser.

From the National Advertiser
"Many advertisers take time by the
forelock and are planning for the coming
season during the present month. This
is proper. All systematic advertising
should be planned months in advance,
and should be contracted for long before
it is used But is the planner of the pres
ent day sure that he is right? Is he con-
tident that he knows just what he wants
and how he should do it, and does that
confidence arise from an intelligent
knowledge and extended conferences with
those who are versed, or does it come
from some impulse or egotism2 Impul-
sive advertising was never known to pay;
egotistical advertising seems even less
successful. Any man who auvertises and
does not secure prompt results has proven
his ineficiency; whether it was due to
lack of skill or experience.or over-conf-
dence, the very fact that he fails to sue
coed Is proof positive that something was
wrong.
Why do not advertisers who start out,
as the young man did who climbed the
mountain with the banner Excelsior"
seek all the advice, gain all the informa-
ton possiblel The elderly man sought to
warn the younger one from climbing the
dizzy height, but his advice was neglected
twilight "cold and gray" in a condition
which did not fit him for mountain climb
ing or anything else. Unfortunately
many advertisers are found in the same
condition, when, if they had needed
proper advice and remained in the valley,
or had secured the services of a competent
guide familiar with all the pitfalls and
dangers of the height, the result might
probably would, have been otherwise.
The National Advertiser desires to
give some words of warning to any adver-
tiser who has in contemplation advertis-
ing expenditure for the future 1t is
this: Be careful Go slow. Be sure
you are right. Do not consider rates of
much consequence. Do consider proper
plan of the highest Importance, Contract
for no advertising unless you are pretty
positive it can and will bring you prompt
and profitable returns. Publish no copy

solidation of the public school cen

SAVANNAH FAR IN THE FORE.
Savannah leads all other cities in the

read and write in that city. Commission
or Bradwell is of the opinion that
no other city in this country can make
such remarkable showing, The credit
for this rs due Savannah's splendid public
school system.

sary Outgo to Date.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 12.-The state
ment of the operations of the dispensary
for the first month was made public to-

fishing the state dispensary falls consid-
erably below estimates heretofore made.
The total amount Of liquor purchased, in
GLIDING beer and wine, is So, $3.50. II,
while the actual figures were expected to
be nearly twice as much.
CONsTABLEs COST MONEY.
Next to the labor employed the greatest
expense for carrying on business is the
pay of the consta bles, which is 81, 6O4 "a
to date. Tho total sales to county dis
pensers to date has been S45, 534. IA, but
what their sales have been or what
the profit amounts to has not
yet been made public owing to the fact
that the county dispensaries have not
been opened fully month.
HIS FAITH STILL STRONG.
Gov. Tillman has no doubt about their
success, and says that the constabulary
will cost far less when the law goes fully
into effect, and that with experience other
expenses may be cut down and the expect
ed profit Of $500, 900 be realized.

TWO LATE ARRIVALS
That Revived a Former Sensation in
Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 12.-Dr. A. G. Eme-

created such a sensation in Opelika dur
ing the early past of the week, turned up
here to-day, coming from Columbus
When they arrived they attempted to
pass under an assumed name but were
soon identified
Emery, who is drinking heavily, is now
stopping at the house of a relative, while
Mrs Turner left on the A. w. & p. train
tonight, but her destination is notknown.
DIR. Emery, who is the father of grown
up children, who move in the best society
of Opelilza, was one of the most prominent
physicians in Alabama. He became infat-
uated with Mrs. Turner, and had her in
troduced into the household of one of his
friends, Mr.. Johnson.
AN UNKNOWN RELATIVE.
johnson had received letter from a
cousin whom he had never seen, stating
that she was coming to Gpelika to be
medically treated Emery got on to this,
and passed Mrs. Turner off as this cousin
The scheme worked well for time, until
Emery was found in Mrs. Turner's room
one morning. The explosion then came,
and the guilty pair hurriedly left the
town in a buggy. DIR. Emery is in bad
mental condition, and his friends say his
mind is gone. He was under the influence
of morphine and liquor here to-day. His
money is about gone, and generally he is
in bad fix. 1t looks as if Mrs. Turner is
| about to give the doctor the shake, now
| that his ability to set her the sort Of pace
| she requires is on the wane

NOW WE GET 1T.

The N. p. Considering Building In on
This Side as Business Proposition.
Assistant General Freight Agent S. G..
Fulton, under instructions from head
quarters to carefully inspect the Grays
Harbor country and to report upon the
ACCESSIBILITY Of extending the road on the
north side of the Harbor, from the point
OF view of the amount of freight fur
nlshed, came down Wednesday, ac-
companied- by Assistant Engineer Nc
Henry and General Agent Chandler.
The party was received by Messrs. Benn,
Weatherwax, Geo. D. Allen, D. Allen
and w. B. Mack, who assisted them in
their inspection of the locale and fur
nished all the required statistics. In the
evening dinner was provided for the
guests at the Pacific hotel, and one that
did great credit to Landlord Lowry's head
and heart. 1t also struck the guests in
exactly the right spot. Most Of the credit
OF taking such good care OF the guests be-
longs to Messrs. D. Allen and w. B.
Mack.
But the question of importance to all
OF us is what will be the result of this
visit, as the Northern Pacific will no
doubt act in accordance with the report
made by our visitors. Mr.. McHenry has
always been in favor of extending the
road into the city on this side, and is so
now. This, too, is Mr.. Chandler's posi-
ton. The substance Of what Mr.. Fulton's
report will be can be gathered from the
following statement emphasized by him:
"There is no use looking too far into the
future to soc what the freight business
will be. 1t is sufficient that there is
enough business now, at this time, to
warrant the extension of the road into
Aberdeen on the north side."
