phenomenal increase in their cir

TACT.
I have been greatly impressed
by the editorial policy Of the two
papers. } have no doubt that
many a young man has been
given lift" and a new aim in
life through the trenchant edi-
torials and the accompanying apt
cartoons Of Winsor McCay, Hal
Coffman. Tad and the other ar
lists. II would be difficult to sur
pass the admirable articles by Mr..
Hearst's corps Of fearless writ
ers AMI thinkers They are aimed
At the grave perils which menace
the country, and they hit the
mark.
The Hearst editorials attack
matters which lave been neglect
ed by the other papers Of the
country up to this time ! admire
them for H. They are accom-
plishing an immense amount of

ROBERT z. MADDOX, Vice Presl.
cent American National Bank
and Former Mayor:
The accomplishment Of cir
culation of more than 100000 net
paid in six months by HEARST'S
SUNDAY AMERICAN Is remark
able. These figures. together
with the statement Of TIE
GEORG1AN'S circulation. are
proof OF the progressive policies
OF those papers.
The Hearst newspapers in At
lanta are assets OF wonderful po-
tentiahty for Atlanta and this
section OF the South Their birth
and growth among US come at
q time when the publicity and
advertising they are capable OF
giving is most needed and can do
most good in our section.
l am firmly convinced that We
are on the eve OF the greatest
commercial and industrial era We
have ever known. When we think
OF the fact that Georgia's cotton
crop this year Will be worth APP
proximately $500, 900 O00-if equal
ly distributed, $50 each for every
man, woman and child. white and
black, in the State-We get some
idea Of the prosperity that is APP
preaching. The biggest corn crop
we have ever raised means that
more OF this money will stay in
the state.
II is time 10 let the world
know what a good section this is
10 live and do business in, At
lsnta as the metropolis OF the
section will ride to prosperity on
the crest OF the wave.
What the Hearst newspapers
can do for the section has been
illustrated Their increasing cir
culation Is evidence OF the rich
ness OF the field and gives them
power for greater good. The
whole Hearst chain Of newspa-
pers aided materially the fight for
the Imperial Council OF the Mys-
tic Shrine. All of them are
boosting Atlanta for the next
convention OF the American
Bankers Association. His Bos-
ton newspapers, where the con
veulion Of the American Bank
ers' Association is being held this
week, are in a position to give
especial aid to the movement TO
have Atlanta selected as the next
meeting place. ana il seems as
sured that We viii get the 1914
convention
The Shrine meeting and the
bankers convention will put At
lanta in the forefront of Ameri-
can convention cities. Those are
some OF the reasons I am glad to
see the Hearst new spapers in At
lants succeeding.

newspapers in Atlanta is another
