The Telegraph (Macon, Georgia)

[2] In his "prospectus" on the front page of that November 1 edition, Bartlett said in part that the Telegraph would "not only disseminate useful information but advocate fearlessly "THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE!"A century later, the newspaper carried the following comment about The Telegraph "The magnetism of this new and time-saving invention had created a great deal of excitement and people everywhere were conjecturing as to what would be the benefits and final unbelievable accomplishments of Morse's find.The editor fled his establishment and left it in charge of the printers, who did not attempt to bring out the regular editions, but two or three numbers of a small sheet called "The Daily News."The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel had heard of Macon's occupation and, in the absence of the editors of 'The Telegraph and Confederate,' they took possession of the office and are issued a paper called The Daily News.The Confederate ink and paper was used and it was practically impossible to issue a typographically neat page.The News continued to publish in the afternoon, while The Telegraph remained the morning paper.A new The Macon Telegraph and News was published as a morning paper seven days a week.The following year, Knight Ridder was sold to the McClatchy Company, bringing the newspaper under a new owner once again.Price includes sales tax at newsracks; may be higher outside Bibb & adjacent counties.
