Patronfze Home PaDers

Winston people have been consider
ing proposition to spend $4,000 with
the New York World in advertising
the town. Eight letters are to be
printed in the World at $3.50 each. A
good deal of sensible opposition is
shown to the movement-some of the
citizens tavorlng the expenditure Of the
money with the home papers.
1t is surprising to note the amount
of money which Southern towns have
spent with Northern papers. These
bigjournals send down their glib tongued
correspondents who expatiate upon the
big calculations of their papers, and
somehow or other our people generally
bite at the glittering bait. 1t is time
to call a halt to this kind of fool
ishness. God knows we have wasted
enough money in this line. If the town
is to be advertised let the home paper
do it. The sum of $500 will 90 a long
way IN getting out special issues of our
Southern weeklies or dailies, but with
the big Northern paper it don't count
for much. If you haye money to spend
for advertising let the patient, hard
working editor of your local paper have
the first chance. He deserves more
than you will ever give him anyhow.
1t looks more like helping yourself if
you advertise in your home paper, and
this kind of advertising will do ten times
more good that all the silly gush which

merchant, the manufacturer, the to-
bacconist, the professional man, in

orally, could have membership, and all
work together for the good of. the town
We have needed something of this kind,
by which all the interests and people
could be brought together in one COM

own interests and the growth and de-
velopment of the town and community.
And it is gratifsing to be able to state
now that such an association has been

every business man in town become a
member. The initiation fee is only

the town at heart should fail to give in
his name as a member of this associa-
ton.

Cadet David w. COWleS, son OF Hon.
| W. II. H. Cowles, member of Congress
from the Eighth District of North Car
DINA, committed suicide by shooting
himself through the head in his room
| at the barracks Of the Horner School
| in Oxford, a few minutes to IL O'Clock
| Tuesday morning. The weapon used
| was 80 calibre Smith and Wesson re-
| volver. The ball entered the temple
near the right ear and passed through
the head lodging between the bone and
skin on the opposite side. Young
Cowles was alone in his room at the
time, and when found was lying across
the bed with the pistol between his
legs.
He was at roll call the morning of
the tragedy, going to breakfast as usual
and attending prayers at the opening
of the school. Having no immediate
recitations after prayers, he returned
to his room with Charles Emry, one of
his room-mates, shortly before the sec
ond study hour. He remarked to his
friend that he felt unwell, and believed
he would 60 to bed, and would not at
tend Rotations. When the signal for
the next study hour sounded, Emry
left the room. At the same moment,
young Cowels went to his trunk, as if
to get something from it,
Some twenty minutes later, Capt.
Drewry, while on his morning round,
called at his room, and on entering de-
tected the smell of gunpowder, and
upon looking around. he saw Cowles
lying on the bed with his head pillowed
against the wall, while blood oozed
from a wound on the right side of his
head.
The young man left no note to any
one and the cause of his self-destruction
is shrouded in mystery. He was about
twenty years old, of bright, genial
and happy temperament it is said, and
was very popular with the officers and
his fellow students. The sad circum-
stances of his death have cast gloom
over his family and associates in school.
