We copy the above from the Good
nan lStar. We do not know that
he merchants of Goodman do pay
more for cotton than the Canton mer-
,hants, and are SomeN hat Opposed
o doubt it. Ii, however, the fact I
re as Stated, the reason given by
he the STIR is a good one. "EvrrN
nan in town, il, business, advertlSes
iberally." That's the secret. They
mean husiness;' they advertise for
business, and they get business.
Nhe large number Of customers they
ring to their stores 10y keeping their
BUSINESS always before the public i'll
he county newspaper, enables them
o pay high prices for cotton. That's !
o; and that accounts for the mix
n the cocOanut. Every man in the
own of Goodman advertises l,ber-
Hy.' quoth " alpo'e, (and he is a
nsiness man, and knows what lit
, talking about, } whilst here i'll Can
IN two-lhirds of the business men.
} far from advertising literally, do
OF advertise at all. I'VE have not
Dunted noses, nor houses, but \
eve that fully twO-tlirds of th:.i
erchants of Canton do not adyer-
Sc; and that is one reason why
ley do not have more customers
ut if they are satisfied with "the I
Use as it stands,r we suppose We
Ight to be, and-that's the end Of
, at least for the present.
We may remark, however, i'll {
inclusion, that some of our mer-
lantS do advertise, and We have
Dticed that however tired a cotton I
agOn is when it comes to town, it
ever does stop until it drives up to
lose houses whose advertisements
