Special emphasis was laid by the

Newspapers Raising Prices

Newspapers all over the United
States are raising the price of
subscriptions by the year and by
the copy. This is forced upon
them as q result of the increased
cost of white paper and all other
materials necessary to get out a
paper.
At the present time the cost Of
white paper is twice what it was
at the same period last year. The
same is true of metal, type and
ink. Practically every other CON-
modify has advanced in price
during the past year. The news,
papers up until recently have
kept their prices the same. But
new conditions are such that they
are advancing not only the price
of subscriptions but advertising
as well.
In many instances the news.
papers have gone ahead charging
the same price for the paper, al.
though the expense of publishing
has doubled. But this sort of
thing could not 60 Oh forever,
especially when in some sections
the advertising patronage had
slumped below normal.
Newspapers today are better
than they ever were before. They
are a great improvement on the
publications of ten years ago, yet
it has not been so long when ten
dollars per year and five cents
per copy was the standard price
in nearly every part of the United
States.
A glance over the exchanges
coming to the News shows that
more than IS per cent of them
have announced an increase in the
subscription price, effective DC
tober l..

ervation is the first law of nature
is very applicable to the news

The City Pressing Club was founded
by its present proprietor, Mr.. C. /.
Sargent. eight years ago. and by do
ing good work has had q uniformly
successful career. Mr.. Sargent has
lust had his premises remodeled and
they are now modern, sanitary and
thoroughly adapted to the business.
The ceiling and walls have been over
hauled and painted and a concrete
floor put down. A notable addition Is
a modern drying kiln, and MI. Sargent
says that now in,the wettest weather the
club can cleanse. dry and press clothes
of any sort in four hours. The new
premises will be free from dust and
commodious racks will allow the clothes
to be kept without wrinklinR. The
club runs three electric irons aad en-
ploys five expert workmen. Work
will be done promptly. Alterations in
clothes can be made at the shop.
In connection with the pressing club
Mr.. Sargent conducts a fine tailor
made clothing department, represent
ing the S Bill Clothing Company, the
best in Chicago. Mr.. Sargent Is an ex-
pert measurer and filter. and as he
knows local and individual needs and
cor editions, he says he can fit and suit
buyers better than transient order
men. He makes no insists, and the
workmanship OF the house is unim-
peachable. His prices are as moder-
ate as possible, A full line Of yard
wide samples are on exhibit.
Something should be said OF the
architectural beauty Of the front of
the clubs domicile. 1t is adorned
with all the embellishments Of fancy
and red paint. The red paint, Mr.. Sar-
gent says, is purely reminiscent of
B~acchanalian days gone never to re-
turn. If architecture is frozen music,
the City Pressing Clubs front eleva-
ton is to be described as Hot Stuff. 1t
is ornate. garnished, bedecked. be-
dizoned, emblazoned and beautiful. 1t
is one of the glories of Macon.

A basket of peaches and pluns
brought in last week by Mr.. Creswell
from his place neal Prairie Point and
exhibited at the M. d F. bank, was a
fine demonstration Of what fruit will
do in this county when the trees are
sprayed and properly treated. One of
the peaches weighed AN ounces and
all were without a blemish or a worm
hole. Almost every other orchard in
the county suffered from rot and
worms after rains in July and very lit
tie fruit was marketable. The only
difference between Mr.. Creswell's ant
others was that his fruit trees were
sprayed. He sprayed three times
once in the winter with a strong solu
ton for the San Jose Scale and twlct
after the tree doomed with Bordeau,
mixture. Mr.. Cresswell exhibited
last year some apples that were al
fine as ever seen in Macon.

Fine Bull Of Noxubee

Speaking of bulls, the Beacon has
been accused of committing something
worse than an Irish bull in not having
mentioned sooner Mr.. Alexander Nc
Intosh's Whiteface bull Tuleyeries,
which the owner says is the very finest
Of them all.
Mr.. Mcintosh has turned part Of the
old Snowden Place into one of the
prettiest and finest stock farms in all
East Mississippi. and has stocked it
with fine cattle. 1t is one of the show
places of Noxubee and is as fine as it
looks. At the head of his heard is
Tuleyeries, an a~ristocrat Of the Here
fords of America. He was calved in
April, 1915, and now weighs 100
pounds, a noble size for a fifteen month
old. Heis the son of Dictator Fairfax
who is a son of the far-famed Perfec-
ton Fairfax. He is equally well bred
on his dams side.
Mr.. Mcintosh bought this bull from
Hereford Farms, near Frankfort,
Kentucky, the famous stock farms of
Col. E. H. Taylor. Jr., which are
among the most noted cattle breeding
farms in this country. Among the
famous bulls there is Woodford who
cost $12, 400. and many champion cat
tie imported from England. Over
half a million dollars have been spent
in building up and identifying Here
fords farms, and Col. Taylor has made
it notable in a state full of famous
farms. 1t may add interest to this
article to many of those who read it to
state that Col. Taylor is the maker of
that fine old whiskey "Old Taylor"
which used to be so popular here when
a mar could get good whiskey without
taking more trouble than it does to
get a divorce.

The Presidential Campaign.

j. -
If politics is a shell-game, and
to many it is, the Republicans
are better spielers than the Dem
ocrats. If the election Of a pres
ident is a commercial proposition,
and to many it is, they are the
better advertisers - the better
stockholders. This was never
more apparent than in the pres
ent campaign. With a mass OF
honest achievement behind it
that ought to assure it a compar-
atively easy victory the Democra-
tic party has the laboring oar.
Contrary to precedent the Re,
publicans discarded the supposed
advantage of holding their con.
vention until the party in power
had held its, and nominated their
candidate and promulgated their
platform first. Thus they tacti-
cally pre-empted the positions
they wished to take. This was
a skillful maneuver, almost as
clever as their chemical coup Of
mixing the oil of Progressivism
and the vinegar of the Old Guard
into a compound that presents
some appearance of stability.
The speech of acceptance Of
their candidate for president is 2
bitter attack on our foreign poll.
cy for the last three years. Il
has a familiar ring to those who
have read Earl Grey's criticism
of the German foreign policy, or
Bethman Holweg's analysis Of
E~ngland's course. 1t is as bitter
and as wholesale in it's denuncia-
ttion as either Of those. Presi-
dent Wilson'S course. though it
has kept our nation out Of war
when the world was ablaze with
wal and kcpt our honor unfair
nished, is given credit for no saw
ing grace, no honor, no good in
tentions, no courage and no sense.
The denunciation is too unmiti-
eating and unalloyed to be con.
vincing. And it is confronted
by too many facts that give it the
lie.
The speech shows Judge Hughe;
to be a great lawyer, but nothing
to show him a great jurist o
judge. AS a piece of polished in
vective, as an indiscriminativ
argument for the prosecution i
is strong. But as the studied ut
terance of a candidate for tn
presidency it is utterly unbecom
ing. 1t is a splendid special plea
a demurrer that attacks the OF
ponent's case but offers nothin.
in its place. But it is smart an
brilliant; as to how effective as
campaign is to be a bitter one
Hate of Wilson has Trough
Roosevelt to Hughes side an
the COMMUNICATIONS to hi
back. The coalition that Rar
dolph denounced-''o the Pur
tan and the backlog" is nothin
to this. and only the white hes
of rage could weld these element
together even for a momen
And Candidate Hughes is pc
fectly willing to play upon thes
passions.
