Gel. Julian Shakespeare Carr,
of Durham, N. c., u. s. A, is
an orthodox believer in the fine
art of advertising. But the
trouble with him is that he in
dulges in it to "a wastsful and
ridiculous excess. Advertising
has its limits. 1t has its uses in
bringing the attention of the
people to some article of merit
and the public is expected to
know a good thing when it sees
it. It has its abuses when IL
tries to foist an article on the
market when the merit is lack
ing. Advertising cannot sup.
ply the merritt simply points
il out.
Col. Julian Shakespeare Carr
desires very much to become a
member of Presidsnt-elect Cleve
lands official family. of this
there can be no doubt. He has
been interviewed in Washing
ton and admitted that he would
not be sought in vain with a
Postmaster Ganeralship. Wheth
er Colonel Carr.had himself in,
terviewed or not the public can
not be informed.
Within the past month Col,
Cars boom for a Cabinet posi-
ton has been growing apace.
The emily trouble with the boom
is that it appears to be confined
within rather narrow bounds.
The boom started in the self
same section where Col. Cars
short-llyed and Inflated boom
for Governor started only a few
short months ago. The Cub
ernatorial boom began in Nor
Canton. The Cabinet ball was
put in motion at Marion. only a
few miles farther west. If Col.
Carr was at all superstitious he
might have hssitatei about
casting his anchor to windward
again so near the spot where he
was once stranded. But let that
b as may. 1t is neither here
n there. The cabinet boom is
beng run on a larger scale than
the Gubernatorial boom. Messrs.
n. w. Aver & Son, Philadel-
phia, advertising agents, have
prepared a handsome, clear-cut,
double column electro of Col.
Carr, which is being used on its
patent sheets by the. Charlotte
branch Of the Southern news
paper Union on the majority of
the papers in the State using
what is called "rsady prints"
issued from that sfiice. These
cuts are always accompanied
by the folio wing "write-up" at
tributed to the Marion Free
Lance which reads and looks
honest as it was gotten up with
the electro and written by q
professional ad. writer:
North Carolina ought to be
represented in Mr.. Cleysland's
cabinet. We have a dozen men
who would creditably represent
US, but the man best fitted for q
business Office like Postmaster
General is yr. Julian s. Carr, Of
Durham, N. G. He has achiev-
ed greater success in business
than any man in North Carolina,
and he has for years been a
leader Of political affairs. He
was an original Cleveland man
in 1854, and helped to turn the
tide that nominated the man of
destiny.
He Is capable, and represents
the best and most progressive
element in the State. Though
prsmaturely gray, he 10 young
enough to be regarded IS typ
ical leader among Southern
business men. He is q man Of
the Hottest patriotism, the most
sagscious in business, wisest In
planning and sblest in sxecu-
tion. He is q Democrat Of TO-
day. He understands the needs
Of the hour. He is in sympathy
with the people, and his sp
pointment would delight the
business men, the farmer, the
manufacturer, the professional
men and all classes of our fsl.
low-citizens.
Mr. Cleveland will honor
North Carolina and bring o
strong and successful business
man into the councils Of the
party IL he chooses Mr.. Carr as
. member Of the cabInst.-Ms-
rion Free Lance.
The circumstsntial evidence Of
thecass points this way: Messrs
n. w. Aver x Son, have filled
Col. Cars .order fer q cut Of
himself and together with IL,
possibly, q sketch Of himself,
making an = or . inch double
column elsctrotype. They have
also, perhaps filed his contract
for placing this electro with the
Southern Newspaper Union for
q number Of patent outsidss Tor
