DISHONEST ADVERTISING

How often do we see things offered for sale at prices which would be inn possible if the goods were equal to the claim made about them. The wise purchaser shrugs his shoulders and passes by The honest merchant says ''Oh, well, after the people get stung they will come back to me'
 Both are winking at a crooks work Untrue statement in advertising is in some states a legal crime with pen alty prescribed. The honest business man should be a thief-taker to the eX- tent of protesting against having the public sWindlcd The public owes it to the cause of Law and Order to see that criminals are brought to justice.
 The manufacturer, the merchant, the consumer, all are vitally interested in having printed statements true, and in being warranted to believe adver- tisements.
 Boards of Trade, Merchants Asso- citations, Advertising Clubs, should undertake the prosecution of hishon- est advertisers. In fancy places they do.
 Don't think that the crooked adver- tiser does not hurt you, because if he is successful he takes productive dol lars from the purchase of legitimate commodities, and handicaps business to that extent. He breeds suspicion of what honest men print, and dulls the edge of proper trade.
 Get after the crook. Make him pay the penalty of his crime Put him out of business for the common good.

TOWN THAT DOES NOT EXIST

Although the town of Ampere, N. J., gives steady employment to over l. 900 people. transacts millions of dol lars worth of business annually, and enjoys the distinction of separate railroad station, where a memorial tablet was formally unveiled by Am bassador Jusserand of France four years ago, and has a United States Government Post Office exclusively for its use, it has no existence in fact. It lies upon the border line between New there is no space between these two cities, it is partly included with both and under two municipal governments. The concrete evidences Of its exist ence quoted above are due to the presence there of the Crocker- Wheeler Company, whose plant, occupying twenty-five acres, justifies it's individ- ual name. That the town is jealous of its exclusive name, given in honor of the great French ,diScoverer of the measure of electric current, is shown by the fact that there is no other Am pere in the world. A town on the Northern Pacific Railroad was giver the name some years ago, but the Crocker- Wheeler Company filed a prompt objection, and the town se- or more Waterloos in tine world, and Londons and PaEises by the dozens but only one Ampere-and that does not exist.

HERE MONDAY TO CONFER
WITH The BOARD OF TRADE
AN AMIcAsLE AGREEMENT ON
LOCAL TRAIN SERVICE

As stated IN yesterday 5 News envr~
viii be a conference in this city on
Monday between w. H. Leahy, gem
eral passenger agent OF the A. B. &
A, and committee of the board of
trade, regarding the discontinuance
of local train service Ietween Bruns-
wick and Thalmann.
Secretary Weatherly received a
telegram from General Manager
Lamb Of the A, B. & A., yesterday,
making the appointment for Mr.
Leahy, who will reach the city to-
morrow morning..
1t is to be hoped that an amicable
agreement may be reached at this
meeting so that no unnecessary fric-
ZION may develop at the hearing be-
fore the state railway commission at
Atlanta on October 3.
When the A, g. < A. came into
Brunswick originally it received ev-
elything asked for at the hands OF
ele clly ana lis progressive citizens
anG even saying it has operated
-h5se trains at times at loss there
is still considerable on the right
side Of the ledger in its favor.
There are few lines in the country
but what oper some trains at a
loss, but they SiAback tenfold in
other ways. be activity the
city is now din gHg in all lines and
the efforts being made to induce emf
grafton and interest trade lines, our
citizens will strive that nothing be
done that will mitigate against the
movement.
Say the A., B. & A. local comes in
with only one passenger ami that
passenger locates here with his fam
lily and induces others to come. or
better stih that passenger locates a
lumber mill, manufacturing plant or
wholesale house, the road will get
back a hundredfold what it lost
bringing the man into the city.

ACT OF couNS AND COUNTESS
NOGI LAUDED BY ALL JAPAN

Toxic, Sept Ia The dramatic
death OF General Count Maresuke No
81, the soldier-hero OF Japan, and that
of his wife the Countess Nogi, who
yesterday, coincidently with the de-
parture from the capital of the body
of the late Emperor Mutsuhito for
its final resting place at Monoyama,
committed suicide, the general by
gashing his throat with a sword, and
the countess by hara- kiri, is regard
ed by the soldiers Of Japan and by
the generals other cOuntrymen as a
magnificent act of patriotic duty.
But the nation, being in the deep
est mourning, and the new emperor
being forced into seclusion by death
of his father, it is impossible to con
fer the usual posthumous honor, ana
consequently Nogi, officially. is not
dead
The count on Thursday morning
prior to attending the funeral serV-
ices of the late emperor at the pal
ace, summoned a photographer to his
home at Akasaki, a suburb of Toxic,
and in the garden Of his residence
posed with his wife while their pic
ture was being taken.
Afterwards the count and countess
attended the funeral ceremony at the
imperial palace Later, visiting the
chamber where the body OF the en-
peror was lying in state, the soldier
knelt before the bier several minutes,
offering homage to his departed SOW
ereign and friend
Letters left by General Nogi, it is
understood, explain his deed and also
contain an apology to Prince Arthur
of Connaught, the special ambassador
of Great Britain, at the imperial fun
eral, to whom the japanese soldier
was specially attached, and with
whom he had an engagement today

Promises to Spend $500, 900 Within
Twelve Months on Additions to the
Plant if Greek is Improved.

An improvement that would add
more 10 the financial prosperity Of
Brunswick and its Importance as a
port than any development ever be-
fore made is the strengthening and
deepening of Terry's Creek to admit
ocean gong vessels
A report on preliminary examina-
tion has already been made b. As
sistant Engineer ~ {. Lem4n and
approved by Col Daniel c Kingman,
chief engineer for this district. Mr..
Lemen stated to a representative of
The News yesterday that he had
never before examined a project
from which so much real benefit
would be derived While no report
on cost of development has @been
made it is estimated that the amount
needed would not exceed $3.50 OO0,a and
the amount OF prospective commerce
would exceed $7,000,000.
The matter is now before the
board OF engineers in Washington for
report and if final survey is ordered
the Improvement is assured as money
for such work is available.
James 5. Bradley, Jr.. president OF
the Yaryan Naval Stores company,
in recent communication stated:
The improvement of Terry's Creek
would be of great benefit to our in.
dustry, and If we knew within the
next six months that this improve
ment was o be made we would spend
at least 100000 in the construction
OF additions to our plant within the
following twelve months
THE raw materials which orr com
pany use are all waste products, and
if We can secure cheap transaarta-
tion on our pulp to northern mills
we would increase the products Of
our pulp factory so as to produce
from 500 to 1000 tons of pulp per
day
1t would take at least two ocean
going steamships a week to trans
port this output, over 100 steamers
a year not to mention the increased
output of naval stores for export.
That is how the improvement OF
Terry's Greek would add TO the i'm
portance Of Brunswick as a port.

Interest in the convention to be

slder the Improvement Of the water
ways between Macon and Brunswick
is not centered in Macon alone From
towns all along the Ocmulgee. the
Oconee and Altamaha rivers informa-
ton is received to the effect that the
convention will be representative Of
the business men and shippers in all
the towns on the three rivers.
y. G. Weatherly, secretary OF the
Brunswick board of trade, writes that
his city will be well representa- at
the convention and similar reports
have been received from Dublin. The
Importance Of concerted action at
the proposed convention has been
impressed on the business men and
a big attendance is anticipated. The
chamber of commerce and freight bu-
reau is desirous Of having as many
as possible notify them at the earli-
st possible date that they will be
in attendance, so that they can make
their plans accordingly.
The shippers, and particularly the
wholesale men, declare that unless
something is done to make the rivers
nayigable and supply competition
with the railroads that it will be
useless to attempt to cope with other
cities in the matter OF rates and
prices.
At the meeting on September 26 a
delegation will be selected to 20 to
Washington, D c., and appear before
the rivers and harbors committee in
an effort to secure a recommendation
to congress for larger appropria-
tions for the three rivers. Congress-

well as securing a conference with
