 Norwich Merchants week, intended to be the greatest merchandising event of the year in eastern Connecticut, will be formally launched tomorrow, al though there are some preliminary features that will take place this even- ing. If publicity, backed up by un- usual merchandise values and out of the ordinary amusement attractions, counts for anything. the result will be that during the seven day period as- signed for this event Norwich will have the greatest crowd or visitors in
 Fares to Be Rebated.
 The keynote of tht big merchandis- ing event will be the fact that all pa- irons of Norwich stores during the Merchants week period can have their fares reBated from their homes to Nor Wich and return. In this issue of The Norwich Morning Bulletin, on another page, will be found a schedule showing the amount of merchandise 1t is neces- sary to buy to entitle you to your fare one way and both ways. How to have your fares rebated is explained in a sPurchaSers, Certificate Book" which has been issued by the association This book contains the names of all the Norwich merchants who are inter- eSted in the Merchants week mOYe- ment and complete information as to the rebating plan. Upon request, the first merchant with whom you trade will give you rebate book upon which your purchases in all the various stores will be entered and your fare will be rebated in accordance with the plan as outlined in that book

WHY NOT STEWART?

In the Americas papers last week
we noticed line up IF the cases to be
tried in the court there and a complete
program of each days session naming
the cases to be tried each day. We are
not posted on the manner in which this
kind of a program is arranged-but
imagine the people of Stewart County
would be blad to have the cases in our
courts arranged in like manner.
We have been summoned to court as
a witness in just a few cases in our life
and on each occasion we attended court
every day for a week and as the court
drew to a close we were informed by
those who had us summoned that we
would not be needed any more during
the session but, unless notified to re-
turn at the next regular session. Thus
we lost some two or three weeks of oar
time attending court to be sworn as d
witness which we have never yet had
the pleasure of or misfortune of doing.
If such has been the case with US
it has no doubt been such with hum
dreds of others who could have attend
ed other duties until the case upon
which they were summoned was defin-
itely decided for trial. We do not
know who or where beginning should
be made to have the Stewart Superior
Court arranged for scheduled pro-
gram of cases but we certainly suggest
to all of the officials of the court to
look into the matter and give us a
scheduled court if within the bounds
of law for us to have such. 1t will
save time and money for all concerned.
L is possible that such schedules can
not be arranged for smaller courts, like
ours; if so, we have no further sug-
gestions to make.-Richland News.
The News is exactly right, and it
would give good citizens more oppor-
tunity to serve the which al
ways need the best in the community.
The calendar for cases is good-and LET
the presiding judge maintain the cal
endar after it is set. 1t saves time for
witnesses, public, etc.
The Stewart county bar and the
judges should know the best way to ar
range the matter.

AN AUDITORIUM.

Albany is about to open her magnii-
cent new municipal auditorium, and its
splendor is being sung by the natives
of the city until it has been heard far
and wide. From all accounts, and We
would not doubt the Albany Herald, 4
has a beauty (which passeth undey-
standing"
Americas is far behind ether cities
of a similar size in the matter of a
public auditorium place for large
meetings.; of conventions; for shows
in keeping with the progress of this
city and the adjacent territory.
The matter of a municipal building
is rather far-fetched now, but the audi
forum is needed now. Were it pos
sible to erect ample and commodious
building by the city, it would be better
for the people enjoy and the people
should pay.
Already, we have referred to the
large Odd Fellows convention with
over thousand delegates TO be held
here in May of next year. Then comes
.he state camp of the Woodmen of tn,
World. There are other conventions
which have already selected Americas,
and besides those, we want others.
There are many prominent, public
spirited citizens who have the means
and the faith to erect the necessary
auditorium in Americus-and we feel
certain that they will realize pecuniary
benefits besides the wonderful satisfac-
ticn of themselves and their fellow cit
liens.

THAT STATE ROAD.

The extension of the w. & A. to the
sea in a definite form, is the latest
proposition laid bare before the people
OF the state. A plan of Hooper Alex
ander, well known Georgian and
competent authority on the W. & A,
vas published during the week
1t does seem that the people Of
Georgia believe the w. & A. should be
retained by the state-but kept in an
honorable and just way. The honor of
any state is incompatible with
schemes which are neither right nor
just.
A man in Georgia who should know
says that the w. & A. will be parallel
ed-and this comes in the face of tie
anti-paralleling act. He says that
Georgia may delay the matter for a
season through legislation, but that as
soon as the measure appears in the
federal courts, Georgia will then see
what hel rights are in the matter.
1t does seem as if the line between
Atlanta and Chattanooga should be
settled-before road is built from At
lanta to Savannah, Brunswick, ST.
Mary's-or Atlanta might want it to
go to Jacksonville.
Georgia doesn't propose to build the
state road to the sea on the peoples
money-with certain sections and in
terests deriving the benefits. Drive
tack in that.

The combined prohibition, socialist,
labor-socialist vote was almost a mil
lion, making a total of about 100000
against Wilson-in comparison with
approximately 100000 for Wilson.
The electoral vote sounds big,
whooping big-436; 50; S--but there's
q different tune with one man against
Wilson, instead of two.
Undoubtedly Wilson is a greater man
than his party-and our prediction is
that he will lead by several hundred
thousand the combined vote for Demo-
Gratis in every state of the union.
There's a fight on-and no one need
deprecate the seriousness of the situa>
ton. The senate is safely democratic,
but the house has none to spare. If
that lead in the lower branch of con-
gress is cut down-and Wilson is elecs-
ed, it will make his last four years
much marder than the past trio

A FINE PASTIME.

Between primaries and conventions
the newspapers have an excellent
chance for comment-of varied hues
and many colored assertions. Be
tween conventions and elections the
newspapers use that same opportunity
ir specializing on how many scratches
the regular nominees will receive. Be
tween elections and the next cam
paign the newspapers amuse them-
selves with opposition and support Of
the incumbent. And-newspapers are
like folks,and it is this thing which
keeps politics alive and forever talked
in Georgia.
So, the dear people and the Atlanta
Constitution need not attempt to show
anything extraordinary now going on,
so far as the papers are concerned. AS
for "yawpers"-it's funny, downright
funny, yea, very laughable. And, by
the-way, if the Old Lady or Alabama
street wants another word which
means the same thing, they can spell
it "yaupers"-for our dictionary says
that way is just as good as the route
which the Old Lady chose.
1t gives us a spell of keenest pleas
IRE and satisfaction to note that the
Cid Lady found out a primary was Oh
hand AFTER the votes were counted.
Oh, that magnificent forecast was
true, and all honor unto the wisdom
OF "The Standard Newspaper of the
South" Thanks for this kindly ex-
preston in an editorial of the Atlanta
morning daily-"The Macon conven-
ton is going to endorse Wilson, Of
course. It couldn't do anything else"
Well, that settles it. It's all over,
boys. You needn't go to Macon unless
you can couple other business with
the convention. The Old Lady has
spoken-and the Old Lady was never
wrong in her life. She is like that
pure, white driven snow-which we
all like to read about in the story
books. Selah, bon voyage-Eureka.
Our communication with Hickory
Hill is something vague, and maybe
the British censors are handling the
contributions to classic literature
which emanate from the man who
makes and unmakes. Watson has
sounded his blasts and the word has
gone far and wide-as to what ne
thinks about the Macon convention as
a Democratic gathering. His cohorts
and vassals are conscious of their
warning and not even among the
Scottish hills when the clans sent out
their thrilling appeals, has message
gone so far and wide.
The Dorsey party is in control of
the convention-an the Constitution
seems to be the spokesman. They say
and the COW jumps over the fence.
The Observation-Disclosures dele
gates will be the minority, and we are
assured that this element will heartily
endorse commentator of Wilson AMI
the Democratic administration, if no
other.
