BANKERS SHOULD ADVERTISE
Newspaper the Shortest and Most d.
rect Route to All Glasses
Of People.

Newspaper advertising is pretty
generally known to be the best ad-
vertising, but 1t is worth while to have
the fact emphasized by a man who
not only has found out by experience.
but acts upon his knowledge.
In Moody's Magazine Mr.. r. L. Cur.
ney, manager of the savings depart
ment Of a prominent financial insti.
tuition, tells why newspaper space is
most useful to bankers and others. He
says:
1.-THE newspaper is now q control.
ling, likewise compelling. factor In
the life Of every man and woman. and
we ought really to include every boy
and girl, for children nowadays are
omnivorous readers. The shortest
and most direct route to the attention
of all classes is the newspaper col
umn, for 1t is daily scanned by bust
ness men, professional men, mechan
les, artisans-all alike. Men. women
too, want their favorite paper the very
minute 1t comes off the press, fol
they crave the news served up rec
hot"
All buyers Of space constantly arr
urged to invest in mediums othel
than the daily press. These Mr.. Cur
ney characterizes as advertising
lemons" Daily perusal Of the news
papers has come to be an essentia
part of the days activities to virtual!
all who are able to read. A person so in
different to the progress Of the world
events as not to read the newspaper
is not likely to be desirable Gus
toner.

WARNING TO ADVERTISERS.

Ihe merchant wrote little ad.
And put 1t in the Shrek,
And there 1t stood day after day.
And each succeeding week.
II told about his heating stoves,
He wrote 1t when the snow was piled
Upon the frozen earth
AS high as 1t would 60.
And In the sizzling August days.
When in the towns and groves
The people fried and sweated blood
They read about his stoves.
Years wore on,
The babes were born,
AND grown up folks were pinched
Some men were to the senate sent
And other men were lynched.
AND some were wed,
And some divorced,
And some were boiled in oil,
And some were loafng In the shade
While others titled the soil.
And some were on the briny seas,
Admitting treasure troves,
And still that doggone foolish I'D.
referred to heating stoves.
The type wore out,
The printer went to get another ad.
Il tried that graft" the merchant said
And found 1t very bad.
No, advertising doesn't pay,

And never sold a stove"

HON. H, H. PERRY AS A
CONSTITUTIONAL
LAWYER
HIS GREAT VICTORY IN A FAMOUS
FIGHT.

To show that the Hon II. H. Perry is
truly Senatorial Timber it is only nee
essary to point to his very able minor
| ity report against the payment of the
famous MattinsIy Bonds.
Mr.. Perry. in handling this veXed and
intricate question. demonstrated that
he is a constitutional lawyer of the
submitted to General Assembly in
Georgia.
This report was incorporated in the
Journal of the House of Representa-
tives for 1906
Three Times Wrong.
The liability of the state on the bonds
had been before the legislature three
different times. This was the fourth
and last time that the claim was pre-
scented. In 1869 a joint committee re-
ported in favor of paying the bonds.
No final action was taken
In 1883 the matter was again before
the Legislature. and report was made
allowing Mr.. Mattingly to bring the
matter before the courts
In 1904 the claim was again. made.
There was a majority report in favor
of the bonds. No final action was
taken 1t was again presented in 1906.
In his minority report Mr.. Perry
said: I'VE have very carefully inVesti-
gated the entire matter and unhesitat-
ingly report that neither the bonds nor
the alleged debt in payment of which
they were originally given are valid
claims against the state"
A Great Victory.
Mr. Perry made a magnificent argu-
ment upholding his contention that was
simply overwhelming.
The majority report, made by Hon
| Boykin Wright, former attorney gen
| eral favored the payment of the bonds
Among the able lawyers VINO had de-
| clared. when the matter was formerly
before the General Assembly, that the
bonds were valid and ought to be paid
were Robert Toombs, BENJAMIN n. Hill
Alex n. Stephens, Joseph &. Brown and
A. T. Alderman, attorney general of the
United States under President Grant.
The bill to appropriate the money to
pay the Mattingly bonds was made the
special order in the house August 8,
1906.
Mr. Perrys minority report was up
held
His splendid argument before the
house had won over the ablest lawyers
of the body. 1t eliminated in a superb
victory and at once established the
fame of Mr.. Perry as the ablest and
most distinguished constitutional law
yer in the General Assembly
1t is safe to say that the Mattinqly
Bonds will never be heard of in Geor-
gia again. SMITH CLAYTON.

THERE trees and flowers and cool

Fortified Hills
That's why it would be good plan to
take the wife and children out there ON River
line and look things over
Fortified Hills was developed for the wife
and children-for homes. A house can be built
any old lot but a HOME must have envi-
rOnment well lot.
That's what Fortified Hills has - the
proper environment. Workmen labored there
for years before the owner, Mr. E. W. Grove,
consented to turn the property over to us to be
put on the market He had advanced ideas as
to the development of residence section for
the salared man or woman, and he spent sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in putting these
ideas into effect p
The result is Fortified Hills-the ideal resi-
dence section.
The property is twenty minutes from
Peachtree by the River car line. Yet no cars
in front Of the homes and never will
Neither will there be any stores or Objec-
tionable residences
In other words, Fortified Hills is restrict
ed just as thoroughly as is the property upon
which the wealthy man builds his magnifi- :
cent residence.
It was developed for people with pay en-
veopes containing from $25 to $40 or $50. The
prices and terms fit these pay envelopes :
We have handsome booklets, profusely IL
Illustrated which tell about Fortified Hills, and
We'll send them for the asking I
Then, too Captain J. T. Mills can always
be found at Fortified Hills to show visitors
around and tell about the property. There's
an office out there-you can't miss it because
it is built attractive the homes are which
are already there and which are going up.
All during the summer since the prop
erty was placed on the market, unusual inter
est has been manifested in Fortified Hills by
those who want homes. Even the wet wealth
err hasn't kept people from being interested
and from looking at this magnificent property.
Eight houses are to be built in addition
to the beautiful homes already built. Just look
it over and then let us tell you about the rea-
sonabe prices and terms which were made to
fit the pay envelopes.
