is also one of the right stripe to aid the
upbuilding of the South. E. N. Rumph,
Of Marshallville, Ga, is doing great
good in settling up his section. But
these men are to be admired for their
stlck-to-it-iveness, which has brought

will tell true story here about an
Arkansas town. The people wanted a
factory badly, and concluded that a
''saw mill and sucker-rod plant'' would
be the ideal for their quiet place to shake
up the dust and pick up the idle and
give the idler work, that he might haYe
money to pay his grocery bill. The
chairman of the meeting was directed
to write to an indianapolis firm for the
cost of a complete ''mill.'' The letter
was answered, and in a few days re-
ply came from the chairman that $500
was all the money the town could raise,
and if they had the $500 demanded
for such a "mill," what in ''hades"
would they want of a saw mill? felt
sorry for the town, for there were few
enterprisin5 spirits there, and 1 trust
that that kind of luck will not deter
others from trying, for where there is a
will there is way. Now get to work
and find it. G. w. Cross.

Hints About Advertising.
Printers lnk.]

Printers luk.I
One line we'll written is worth COL
umn carelessly prepared.
The ad. should attract attention.
but respectful attention.
Displaying everything has only the
effect of killing the object ofdisplaying
anything.
One half of the world would not know
what the other half has for sale were it
for advertising.
Let your ad be out of the ordinary,
but not too much so-freaks do not at
tract the best attention.
How plainly high building can be
seen among small ones! How easily
boldly displayed ad stands out from
the rest.
\ satisfied customer is good adver-
tisement, but to secure the customers
to be satisfied is the first problem. Ad-
vertising will do it.
You can interest people while you
are talking to them, but the minute
YOU stop the interest ceases. 1t is
precisely the same way with your ad-
vertising.
Too much shouting may frighten
people. but don't forget to shout loud
enough to let them know who you are,
and wheae you are, and what you are
there for.

The Lease Approved.

GREENSBORO, Sept. 1.-THE agony
over the North Carolina Railroad is at
last over. A called meeting of the
stockholders Of this road was held here
this afternoon, and for the frst time
since 1898 quorum was present. The
directors agreed two years ago to al
low the railroad to be listed for taxes,
but the stockholders were unwilling
ana remained away from the meetings
in order to prevent a quorum, so that
the action of the directors might not
be ratified. Now, however, since the
Southern has leased the road and will
pay the taxes, there was no excuse for
not ratitying the withdrawal OF the
tax exemption. At $50 O'Clock when
the stockholders were on the point OF
the assembling, telegram came from
the Governor insisting on surrender
Of the exemption. About 4 O'Clock the
stockholders met and agreed to sur
render. Judge Burwell was made
temporary chairman and Dr.. henbow
secretary. to WheH the vote ratify the
leasing Of ,se road to the Southern was
taken, not a dissenting voice was
heard,
