Advertising Pays.

There never was a time in the his
tory of the country that newspaper adj
vertising was as effective in business
sense as it is at the present time. The
tendency in this direction dates back
number Of years, but has increased OF
late in most wonderful ratio. In
more primitive times, when business
was far less diversified than now, it was
comparatively easy for the memory of
men to take in and retain the details of
current transactions, and the newspa-
per was not so absolutely essential as
it is at present, but business has be-
come so diversified in its nature and its
forms, and the number of trading firms
has so much increased, that the men,
ory can no longer bear the burden, and
so ink and types must come in as relief
from burden too great to be borne.
Were man now who has house to
rent or a farm to sell go up and down
the street asking if any one could tell
him where he could find customer,
people would suspect him of being ig-
norant of the value Of what he had to
dispose of; and, indeed, the suspicion
would not be unreasonable in the case
of man who would spend a week in
making an announcement which would
be more thoroughly given by the news
paper in a half an hour.
The advertisements in newspaper
very generally represent not only who
are the business men, but the men who
are doing the most business and are
therefore the better prepared to sell
bargains. 1t is not true, as some peo-
pie imagine, that the man who pays
literally for advertising must put the
amount so expended on the price of mis-
goods to justify the outlay. but on the
contrary the man who advertises lib
orally is the one who can sell the low
est in price, because his increased trade
enables him to do so. Buyers ought to
know, and they go mostly to the men
who advertise to get bargains, and they
get them. The man who saves the
cost of advertising has fine chance to
give his customers the benefit of his
economy; but the Cheap Johns OF this
order do not come to time.-Greensboro

A Word in Behalf Of the Local
Preacher.

Sam Jones says some very hard
things about the preachers some times:
and while they laugh and appear to
enjoy it as much as any body else We
do not agree with him when he at
tempts to belittle or ridicule them and
their work. In Danville he hit them
some severe ticks which provokes the
following from Brother Bouldin of the
Times. He says:
When Sam Jones was laughing at
the local preachers for not being more
effective, we said to ourself: ''Mr. Jones,
true these preachers can't draw a
crowd like you; there is not one OF them
who would not last longer than you.
You are quarter horse you run very
fast for short distance; the local
preachers are four-mile horses. You
have your value they have theirs"

Shocco Springs to be Improved.

Shocco Springs, and the proposition to
improve the property and bring this
once famous water and health resort
into notice again:
We are glad to see from the GOLD

tlemen will probably buy and develop
Shocco Springs. Its waters are known
to be specific for many diseases. Be-
fore the war these springs had repu-
tation second to none in the South.
With handsome grounds and comfort
able buildings the place would be
crowded every year, for it would be the
only health resort between the noun
tains and the sea shore. Up to the late
war Shocco never had less than five
hundred visitors every summer, and
some seasons the number reached six
hundred.
