For the Prompt Payment of Claims. j The public generally and espc-' cially our business men will be 1 interested to know that for the i purpose of insuring promptness and justice to its patrons in re-; spect to handling freights at local stations and the handling of loss, damage and overcharge ( freight claims occurring^ on : freights received or shipped by i ; its patrons, the Southern Railway , Company has inaugurated and | placed in service a corps of trav- J eling freight claim agents whose dlltv it will tr? ti-n'nl /??? > Ii-?i I ? ?.,r % tt ?ti mv i/w iia vvi Wv/111> J 11 Li" 1 ously the respective territories assigned to them, visiting at each station not only the company's agents but the company's patrons thereat, and make prompt settlement of all fair and honest j loss, damage and overcharge j freight claims against the company. We Could, !f We Would. We were a bit surprised a short while back to have one of our business men accost us like this: "Why don't you mention our bus- ; iness in your paper. It wouldn't ; hurt you, and would help to till up, you know." Yes, we might | do this. We haven't the least idea on earth that it would hurt; us, and it would, as he suggest- i ed, help to fill up. We might do all this, but at the same time, j thank God, we do not have to do , it unless we feel like it, and we have not yet felt that way. It, would not hurt him, either, to come around and order space for a column or a half column advertisement and hand us the muuey lor it. cut dv doing" this he would become a deserter to that grand army of dead-heads | who expect the newspapers to continually note the improvements they make, by giving them free puffs, and for which they j never pay a cent. It is high time for all classes to learn that a newspaper is a business enterprise, the same as a dry goods store or a grocery, run for a living for its owner. HC77 TO REMAIN YOUNG.
