mine POstmastership.
Brunswick, Ga, Feb. 2S.-Three can
didates have been announced for the
Brunswick postmastership. They are
Postmaster Brown, O. w. Cole and T.
]. Hardaway.
1t is understood that there are two
more well known Republican consider
ing entering. Just who will receive the
Endorsement of the Republican ma
chine in Glynn county is the ques-
ton. 1t is believed that the candidate
who gets this Endorsement will receive
the appointment.
Postmaster Brown has made a first
class postmaster, and even his Re-
publican enemies give him credit for
filling the place WELL but there has
been a difference between Brown and
some of the Republican leaders for
some time, and they are going to en-
deavor to defeat him.
The Republicans of Glynn county
held a big meeting in this city yes
terday, at which delegates were nam
ed to the different conventions and
other important matters handled.
Probably the most interesting piece of
work was defeating Nose Sawyer, a
well known negro, who has been at
the head of the party for many years.
Out of the $50 Republicans present at
the meeting, Sawyer only received 16
votes and ]. X. Sheffield, an Everett
City negro, was elected to the chair
manship.
The Republicans Endorsed the adj
ministration and resolutions were also
adopted indorsing Roosevelt for the
presidency j. w. Lyons of this city
was indorsed for a national commit
teeman. Lyons is the only negro on
the Republican committee.
w. H. Johnson, j. w. Lyons, Fl. L.
johnson and Harry Stillwell Edwards
were Endorsed for delegates at large
to the Republican National Conven-
ton.

HOW A RUSSIAN WRITES
A STORY OF A FIGHT
Grows Enthusiastic i'm Telling of the
Work of the Cruiser NoviIk.

Grows Enthusiastic in Telling of the
Work of the Cruiser Novik.
London, Feb. ga Russian cor
at Port Arthur, cabling under yester-
days date, describes the combat be-
tween the Russian cruiser Novik and
the Japanese squadron, following the
attempt of the japanese to bottle UP
the Russian fleet in Port Arthur Feb.
"a. as follows:
1.-THE Novik impetuously bearing
down on the squadron of the enemy
was observed to fire on the Japanese
flagship and she then Immediately
opened fire with all her batteries. The
japanese answered with a running fire.
The guns of our squadron Numbered
and the batteries of the forts roared.
The battle had begun.
1.-The Novik, going at full speed, did
not give the enemy a chance to aim,
but flew by, her bow guns belching
forth solid shot. Then turning at full
speed, she showered him with shells
from her stern batteries.
THE Novik was in the very midst
of the enemy's fire, and shells Kissed
past and fell close by, raising ire
mendous columns Of water. That's
what you call serving guns.
1.-THE officers remained cool and calm.
The firing proceeded without the least
confusion and seasoned with that HUI
NOR which never deserts Russian,
even in moments of terrible danger.
1.-THE Novik unanswered, alternately
approaching the enemy and withdraw
ing, until She received an injury to
her stern. One gunner was killed. Still
theoretically sustaining her fire, the
Novik turned to the shore. At this
moment a column of fire and smoke
was noticed on the japanese flagship
After that the Novik repaired to her
dock"
The above dispatch as received from
Port Arthur speaks of the combat
between the Novik and the Japanese
squadron as taking place last Satur-
day (Feb 20, but it probably refers
to the fight during the attempt of the
Japanese squadron to bottle up the
Russian fleet on the morning of Feb.

They Bind it PAYS.

Below is a list of some of the most
extensive advertisers in this country.
The management of these concerns
have made study of advertising, and
would not put these enormous sums
IN this feature of their business if it
were not profitable. Yet one half of
them would acknowledge, if asked,
that they are not in a position to
realize one half the profit from their
advertising investment that could be
realized if they could make thor
ough personal advertising campaign
in each and every community: Here
is the list:
American Tobacco Company,
81, 900, 900; DR. Pierce, $3.50, 600;
Peruna Company, $500, 900; Castoria,
$500, 900; National Biscuit Company,
$500, 900; Force Food Company,
$500, 900; Proctor 81 Gamble, Ivory
Soap, $500, 900; j G. Aver & Co..
$3.50, 600; Lydia Pinkham, 1850, 600;

Baking Powder, $3.50, 900; Postum
Food company, 5000, 900; Total
Sc, $50, 900.
Local advertisers sometimes when
shown such figures, say ''that's differ
emit" It's different in some respects
The above advertisers do not have
conditions nearly as favorable as the
local advertiser. In about every
instance they have single article to
advertise instead of variety, their
business is handled through advertis
ing agencies, they are concerns that
NJ person is directly interested In.
The local business house has ten
cPances to make advertising pay him
where these other concerns have but
one, yet these other concerns are an

money advertising space that should
be used by local merchants through
out the union. This is one of the
elements of a successful business
that the business man must learn NOT
