of this warship, as reported by Vice Ad-

this occurrence TO prepare themselves for

without their defeats. Therefore, the
mishap which befell this torpedo boat

GERMANS FEAR REPRISALS.
Great Britain's Decision to Retaliate Dis
heartening to Kaiser's Subjects.

Zurich, Oct ls.--That Great Britain's
decision to bomb German cities and
towns in reprisal for the air raids on
London and other English cities and
towns is having a disheartening effect
in southern Germany is indicated by the
Muenchner Post, which says that air at
tacks on open towns have proved quite
apart from moral estimates, that this
mode of warfare will be the means of
stiffening, rather than breaking, the de-
termination of the people. The newspa
per says this applies to all the bellig
erents and that it would be a matter for
rejoicing if all them would agree mo
longer to make this fearful world catas
trophe still more horrible through the
slaughter Of defenseless persons

NON ADVERTISERS BEING
CALLED" BY ADVERTISERS

ATLANTA. Ca, Jan. 49.-Gettine
next door to an advertising merchant
in order to catch some of the trade
that comes to his store is the latest
trick of the non-advertiser, and the
advertising men and newspapers Of
Atlanta, in common with those in
ether cities over the country, are de-
vising ways and means of discounte-
nancing the practice and making it
uncomfortable for those who resort
to it.
No higher tribute could be paid to
the power of advertising than for a
non-advertiser, who refuses to tell the
public about himself and his goods, to
take a location adjacent to a store
OF a merchant who believes in adver-
Using and counts it as the strongest
factor in building up his trade.
Recently a we'll known and well ad-
vertised concern in Chicago secured a
verdict of $4,000 against competitor
who came into the immediate vicinity
and duplicated the advertisers store
front. The false-front merchant was
not an advertiser himself, but he had
business brains enough to appreciate
the value of advertising, and business
dishonesty enough to attempt to profit
by the advertising merchants expen-
diture and well-earned reputation. At
ter lengthy litigation the advertising
merchant won his suit.

MORNING MAIL SERVICE
FROM AMERICUS TO LUMPKIN

The postottice department has inaug-
urated a daily mail service between
hmericus and Lumpkin, and including
Plains and Richland, the new service
being an automobile route, leaving this
city each morning, except Sundays.
Malcolm Jones, of the Seventeenth dis
trict, secured the contract and will
operate the new line.
The postotfice department recently
asked for bids to carry mail between
Americas and Lumpkin, the new SER
vice being intended to replace that
formerly supplied by the Seaboard
night trains, and connection will be
made here with the train from Macon,
and Atlanta, giving Plains, Richland
and Columbus direct daily connection
with the capital. and enabling the de-
livery at Lumpkin next morning of let
tiers posted in Atlanta the night be-
fore.
With the Inauguration of this new
automobile mail service. there will be
a slight change in working hours of
the night clerk at the Americas post
office. The new arrangement will
permit the night clerk to put in a por-
ton if his time at the postoffice during
the afternoon rush hours, and result
in the mails closing little earlier than
heretofore at night
