 party of about thirty newspaper workers will soon make the trip, and expect the same courtesies. They will make the trip as the guests of the Grand Trunk Railway company, and will come to New London and back to Montreal in palace sleeping style, and it is therefore possible for them to make the trip and not cost them a cent individually. But, of course, they will not make any such impecuntous attempt. All along the line of the itin- cry everything that is possible will be done for the pleasure of the visitors, who come for the purpose of booming
 business for the railroad company, and incidentally for New London. Watch Hill, Fishers Island and Block Island.
 The newspaper chaps will be given
 more time at Watch Hill than was giv- en the other visiting party, and the

Norwich bulletin., 1912-06-15

There was another offensive trans. action in connection with the arrest of the marketman. One of the local papers at the time of the arrest re- ferred to him as an Italian, though his name denotes to the contrary, and this created considerable unfavorable comment among some of the Italian residents. When the case came into court the marketman was referred to as a Hebrew and this caused critism among his countrymen. Here's the point. Whats the necessity of making reference to nationality in such cases, when the name is known. This mat ter was brought forcibly to the atten- ton of the writer forty years ago, more or less, when foreigners of & certain class were not as numerous as at the present time In writing a news item and of a shady nature the of fender was referred to as a Jew, more through lack of forethought rather than attempt to belittle.

Club Limit 25 Members!

Club memberships in some towns have been filled with in three days In others long three weeks How long will it take to fill the Hooser Club here?
 In great HooSier Club sale just closed in one of our neghborng towns 5 club members secured in three weeks time
 These club sales held under the direct supervision of The Hoosie Manufacturing Co., and ordinarily are more limited in membership.
 canvass made few weeks ago among our customers however revealed the fact that such high percentage of the women talked to wanted to join the Hoosier Club that The Hooser Company has allowed to make this offer to $ in this community to introduce the Hooser Cab net on large scale to those homes who have never known what a tremendous time, labor and step saver it is.
 You may join the club and have the cabinet deliver ed later you prefer but enter your early before the club membership is filled.
 7f4 have joined this club to date leaving il more to come If you wish to be of these get busy and at once.
 SCHWARTZ BROS. Tel. 065 Qo1t Water Street
Norwich bulletin., 1912-06-15

On the day of publication, Joseph Schwartz, brother of Jacob Schwartz, and who preceded him in the dry gceds business in New London came to the office, newspaper in hand, and was given permission to have quiet talk with the author of the offensive item, He asked if the offender had happened to be a Catholic, a Baptist, Methodist, 8 Congregationallst. or even a Spiritualist, If mention would have been made of the partys religion.
 An apology was gracefully accept ed by MT. Schwartz and from that time in the long ago down to the present, the writer has never referred to a mans religion or nationality in court cases, when it could De avoid CT, or in any instance when it's use reflected discredit on anyone. There Is altogether too much such refer ence in these modern times and is done through the thoughtlessness of some young fresh writers just as was the case with this writer when he re- ceived the call down and the lesson that will last through life.

- Communicated.
Home People Of Mr, Mercer
Commend Him To Voters
OF The Third District

Mercer is is that he ''plougls
in the spring and Collects interest
in the fall" We are delighted
to tell you that he has been in
position to aid greatly his fellow
farmers by furnishing them
with the means not only to culti-
vate their crops, but has aided
many in bis county in finally be-
coming an owner of his home.
Nor has he ever been the man to
numerically crowd a farmer
who could not meet his obliga-
ton to him when due, but has
always been entirely willing to
indulge him from year to year
for a reasonable, living interest.
We are glad to say earnestly that
we have great need of many
more of Mr.. Mercer's kind in cur
town and county. He has meant
more to Terrell county than any
other doZen men in it, and we
are sure that if elected to the
position Of Congressman no man
in the Third district will regret
his choice. He is always enter
prising, always constructive,
progressive and hesitates not at
any amount Of effort or expense
to accomplish ends which mean
not only advancement of his own
interest, but that Of his neigh
bors as well. He is eminently a
farmer-a model one. We take
pride in calling attention to the
fact that it was farmer Mercer
who originated the corn contests
in Georgia, a progressive step in
farming which has revolutionized
the corn production of our state.
He was brought up in as hum
BILE fashion as any average coun
try boy. and has accomplished
things in life by his own efforts.
He has had some misfortunes.
which, by the way, would not
have come to him had others
whom he had aided been more
dutiful in their obligations to
him. No man fails to have ups
and downs" We dare say his
opponents have had theirs. Mr..
Shaw would have you believe
that he came from the depths.
We happen to know that he has
ever had around him the average
comforts of life and has no right
to claim more in this regard than
has our fellow citizen whose
cause we plead: We ask you
whether or not you would have
as our representative a man who
has made good, not only in a
political way but who has in the
far more important sense, viz;
that of personal success and ac-
complishments at home for his
fellow countrymen.
We sincerely commend to you
our fellow townsman, then, as
most worthy Of your franchise,
and bespeak for him great sue
cess should you see fit to elevate
him to the position to which he
aspires. j. G. Parks, J. c.

10 Tue VOtC1o VI CAAS
Congres sional District: AS citi-
zens Of Terrell county, feeling
an interest in and successful out
come of the efforts of our fellow
citizen, the Hon. John R. Mercer
to become a member of Congress
from this district, and believing
- that certain statements being
made by one Of his opponents
are sinister in character as well
as misleading, we have deter
mined to give to the voters Of
the district the estimate placed
upon him by his people at home.
We notice in a recent issue OF
Mr.. Shaw's Southwest Georgian
that he has an article headed.
''Who Is The Mani" He under
takes in this article to minimize
each of his opponents and to
produce the impression that ne
has indeed done great things for
the dear common people" He
&ells you that MIR. Mercer has
ereached the half century mark.
So he has, and SO have most men
who have done things for their
fellows, nor do those of us who
have observed the ordinary rules
of good conduct in life feel that
we have reached beyond middle
life at this time. He tells you
that he is said to be a millionaire.
We wonder who told him, and,
if it were true, would it have
made him of less value to his
neighbors or less fitted to 90
things in Congress? Mr.. Shaw
has lived a generation, he tells
us. Will some one tell US what
he has accomplished to indicate
any sort of business ability? He
should have done something in
this time, especially as he is ask
ing you to place him where
there should be the acme OF
business acumen. He tells you
that Mr.. Mercer would be
ready to enter into the celestial
Z regions before he could do things
7 for his district. ;" This is funny,
He says, in substance, that Mr..
Mercer has done things in life
which have meant personal sue
cess. He says, however, that he
has not accomplished anything
}%politically, but that he himself
has done ''yeoman service in the
Legislature Of Georgia !" Wonder
where or when he made those
footprints" on the statutes of
Georgia" to which he so boldly
refers. Mr.. Mercer has been
himself a member of the Georgia
legislature and did honest, effec-
tual work for his county while
there, but is willing for others to
say as to this. He was for four
years the honored mayor of his
town and than he we never had
a Better, no one quite so enter
prising, no one who accomplished
during that period of time quite
SO much for his town. It is true
Ne has always been a large tax
payer. but none can say he has
eyer fought an enterprise of his
town that he might be less bur-
dened by taxes; on the other
hand, no man has done more to
bring to his town modern i'm
provements, such as mean much
to tax payers, than he.
Mr.. Shaw would have you be-
lieve that the kind of farmer
