HEARST AND THE GEORGIAN
NEW YORKER Is EXPECTED TO
BEGIN NEWSPAPER WAR.
me Georgian Has Been a LOSING
proposition From the Time MIR.
Seely Started 1t,


ADVANTAGEOUS announcement
has been made of the purchase nv
William Randolph Hearst of the At
lanta Georgian from Fred L. Seelv
the present owner and publisher
for $4,000. OF this amount s115
OO0 is to be paid in ash and 5000
OO0 to be taken care of in bonds. it
is said.
Mr.. Hearst, it is understood. pro-
poses to enter actively the Southern
journalistic field. According to re-
port Foster Coates, prominently
Identified with the Hearst newspa-
pers In New York, will be managing
editor here, and John Temple Graves
has come back South to preside over
its editorial page.
Mr.. Seely, it is understood. will
leave the newspaper publishing bust
ness, going abroad for year, and
atterward associating himself in bus
mess with his father-in-law, Mr.. E.
w. Grove, the millionaire medicine
manufacturer.
The Georgian is about five years
old, and has been up to this time a
six-day afternoon paper. 1t was
founded by Mr.. Seely, who has been
its editor and publisher. While it
quilt up good subscription list, par
t1cularly in Atlanta, the paper, it is
understood, has always been a losing
proposition financially, and for some
time past it has been understood that
Mr.. Seely was willing to sell on prop
er terms
What policies Hearst will advocate
or precisely why he has desired to
enter the Southern field at this time
are still matters of speculation, al
though it is supposed by many that
his personal interest in presidential
affairs is one of his strong motives.
That Atlanta is on the verge of as
merry little newspaper was as ever
gladdened the heart of the printer
in the old-time piping times of cut
| throat competition is the generally
accepted fact in Georgia newspaper
circles.
1t is pretty we'll known fact that
| it will not be long before Hearst gets
out morning as well as an evening
paper in his Georgian plant. That
will give Atlanta two morning and
two evening papers, which, if past
| performances are any criterion, is a
heap more than even that thriving
metropolis can support But the end
is not in sight, it seems. The latest
report is that the Journal will issue
a morning edition if the Georgian
does, bona fide morning paper go
| ing to press somewhere around 10
| o'clock, which is the best that At
lanta mornings can do and get into
| South Georgia. The Journal people
are prepared to battle Mr.. Hearst to
, the limit and will get out just as
many editions as he does. That is
| the story.
This would give Atlanta three
morning papers and two evening pa
pears, which means that at least one
morning paper will have to go under
at least, so the experts say.
No city of 100000 population with
a great percentage of that population
negroes can support five papers
At any rate, everybody in the
Southern newspaper world is sitting
back and looking on. Something is
going to break out very shortly, is the
inside information that is being pass
! ed around

WRECK RELEASES ZOO HOGS
STREETS OF ROCHESTER, WE'RE
FILLED WITH GRUNTERS.
Residents of the Town Penned Them
in ParlOrs and Fake Detectives
Made q Haul.

ROCHESTER, N. "a local com
edy that beats Pigs is Pigs" took
another turn today to add to it's
righteousness. Wednesday night a
freight wreck in the western end of
the city released 700 hogs from the
cars in which they were being trans
ported and the porkers spread over a
large section of the town. Residents
saw chance to lay in a winter sup
ply of food and corraled the pigs,
combining them in cellars and even
parlors
Today two men visited the West
Side homes and claimed two large
wagon loads of hogs, under the state
ment that they were railroad detect
ives. 1t has developed that the al
legged detectives were not in the en-
ploy of the railroad. Police are now
looking for the two wagon loads of
porkers.
Biennial sessions of the general
assembly would save the people of
Georgia some $4,000 or $4,000 as
well as lot of unnecessary politics.

DON'T EAT IN BOSTON.
Instances Where 1t Has Proved to
BE Dangerous,

Eating in Boston is fraught with
danger, it seems. One woman ate
"broiled live" lobster and it made
her so sick from ptomaine poisoning
that she was laid up for weeks. She
has brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages. Another woman bit into
slice Of brown bread, and broke a
tooth on nail. She also has brought
suit for damages, fixing the value of
her tooth at $500. Maybe after a
while those who eat in Boston will
learn to confine themselves to beans
and fshballs.

SMOKER A
WINNER
Boating Men Hosts of Visiting
TarS at Successful En-
tertainment

The Coast yachtsmen who sailed the
transpacific race have a lot of pleasant
recollections of Honolulu to carry away
with them, but none pleasanter than
those of the entertainment given in
their honor last night by the Myrtle
Boat Club. Hawaiian hospitality was
given full swing. and guests and hosts
alike enjoyed an evening of good sport
and good fellowship.
1t was a rafting good program at
one of the most successful smokers
ever held here by any organization
There were smokes and Refreshments of
all kinds eked out by music and pro-
fessional stunts. Singing, talking, box
ing and wrestling were features of the
entertainment, which was partaken of
by over four hundred guests, and as a
grand finale it was announced that two
hula dancers would dance a dignified,
expurgated sort of hula for the bene-
fit of the visiting yachtsmen, who had
expressed a desire to witness the fa-
NOUS dance of many wiggles.
After the dancing, Captain Lew Har-
ris of the winning yacht Lurline made
a short address of thanks to the Myr-
tie club for its hospitality to the Wis
itors and concluded by giving little
advice to amateur yachtsmen.
The program was opened by Master
of Ceremonies Davis. Carlos Caceres
then gave a short pianologue, which
was followed by wrestling exhibition
by the Searle brothers The Kaai quar-
tet played in the intervals, and pre-
liminary to the hula dancing Johnny
Mccarthy and Dick Sullivan boxed four
fast rounds.
Everybody came early and stayed
late, and by the time the first started
to leave, the tail lights of the last car
had long disappeared around the cor

some PLAYERS
Gan BE CHANGED

It is rather strange that the aver
age patron of baseball lacks the con-
fidence in the manager just as soon
as things are not going right. Let a
few games be lost and every nine out
of ten so called fans will be there
with a suggestion for changing the
lineup of the team.
It stands to reason that the individ-
uaI most vitality interested In teams
success is its manager. and when that
man has had TWENTY-FIVE years ex-
perience in baseball 1t would be wise
to display confidence in his Judgment.
But it is perhaps the reason for the
popularity of the sport that the spec
tators consider themselves capable of
doing the managing.
Il is q privilege which goes with
every admission ticket Incidentally
it is but natural that the SO called
fan should have no trouble convincing
himself of the logic of his argument
when the team is not doing what it
should, but il also stands to reason
that the only way success can be at
tanned is to have one man use his
judgment.
Pays to Experiment.
The advisabflity of changing play
ers from one position to another has
frequently been questioned, and yet
some of the stars in certain positions
have been switched there from others.
Take, for instance. Eddie Foster of
the Washingtons. He was not figured
as being capable of playing anything
but short field, the position in which
he started out in professional base
ball. yet Foster developed into a star
at third in very few weeks. Jimmy
Collins. ranked high among the very
best of the third basemen, was an out
fielder and was shifted to third by an
accident.

There is another hitch in the pro

Honolulu in quest of tie six-0ared
