Sins and graft blamed for national ills in 1913 letter
In Marietta Ga on February 27 1913 editor N K Emith prints a reply to an article in Leslie’s Illustrated Weekly by John Kirby Jr. arguing wealth inequality fuels corruption from Supreme Court to Congress. He cites sugar tax scandals rail rebates bribery and police of public officials as proof. The letter warns of a looming crisis unless the cause of discontent is halted and a strong administration brings reform. Local notices of business activity follow.

Search of Trade Boosts Chile Concarne Cigar Sales
The Capital City Tobacco company reports their cigar sales rising more than any other department. It is unclear if the gain comes from the new brand Search of Trade recently launched or other factors. In Georgia, agents like I D O'Rear of J D Frazier, and McGrain and Alfarina, report strong activity in the southwest. Hancock of the Dixie Vinegar Works is busy producing grape jelly, illustrating rapid business growth. Other salesmen, including those from the Richarda, Atlanta Paper, Warren Manufacturing, McHeer, National Blank Book, Hagan Malone, and Hirshberg firms, travel Georgia and Florida territories, with several noting robust orders and new lines such as French ivory toilet articles from Hirshberg. The piece highlights expanding markets and active reps across the region.
