7o-Day;s Advertising Talk"
IT'S WRONG

to suppose that your
business is SO wellknown
that you do not need
continuous advertising.
The public is very for.
getful and needs con-
slant reminding.
If you do not advertise
the same in the summer
as you do in the winter
you invite dull business.
and lose your prestige
to the man who keeps
everlastingly at it.
It's much easier to keep
your business by contin.
uous Advertising than it
is to regain it after it is
lost by several months
of silence.
Keep your name and
goods fresh in the minds
Of the people. Go to the
people when their minds
are fresh, through the
columns Of The Times.

THE GEORGIA OUTRAGE.

The whipping Of frail, refined girl In

rage, and has aroused the Indignation Of
the people OF that State and OF the en-
tire South. We have been looking out to
sec the story commented upon by some
Of the radical papers of the North as
another Southern outrage" for when
ever anything of this sort occurs on South
ern soil such papers are apt to take nd-
vantage of the occasion to fire the
Northern heart" and descant upon the
brutality Of the Southern people,"
In discussing the peonage cases In Ala
bama the other day. Mr. Edgar Gardner
Murphy we'll said that when the radical
Northern newspapers refer to an out
rage committed on Northern soil they
discuss the crime; but when they COM
ment on such an outrage in the South
they discuss the South.
There are bad men in the Southern
States, as there are bad men in other
states, but It Is monstrous injustice to
hold an entire people responsible for the
misdongs Of individuals.
There is Just as much reason in hold
ing the Southern people responsible for
this brutal affair in the Georgia penten-
tary as there is in holding them respon-
sible for peonage in a few isolated sec

The Hartford Times. referring to the
talk of making General Miles the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency. main
tains that one good reason why he can
not be the candidate is the fact that he
is not and never was a Democrat Surely
that is good enough reason for no longer
considering the name Of the retired Cen
eral in this connection. But" adds the
esteemed Connecticut contemporary,
there is a reason why General Miles
Should not be nominated for the Pres-
dcncy, even II no We're to renounce his
Republican principles and declare him
self a Democrat OF deep and fixed con-
vctons. The reason is to be found In the
South, where it Is impossible that Cen
eral Miles will ever be supported for any
office for the reason that, Mt the close of
the Civil War he took upon himself the
responsibility of putting iron manacles
on the legs of Jefferson Davis. then a pris-
oner Of war at Fortress Monroe.
whether that was an error or not, 1t
is regarded by the Southern people as an
indignity to their section. Hence they do
not show any enthusiasm when General
Miles name Is mentioned. Nor do they
sympathze with him when he receives
unfeelng treatment from Republican adj
ministrat ton at Washington"
That Is all as true as preaching. Put
ting General Miles at the head of the
Democratic ticket would come very near
to splitting the solid South wide open.
