Those "ShOpping Excursions -

THE AduOcate has been urged to ad-
vertise shopping excursion" to be run
to a certain city from a neighboring
town; but the Advocate is opposed to
such enterprises and will do everything
in its power to discourage them. They
are both impositions and snares. They
impose upon the home merchant and
ensnare those who believe they can save
money by dealing away from home.
Everything taken into consideration,
there is no economy in going to Louis
Vile or Cincinnati to buy anything
from silk dress to a thousand letter
heads-and it is unfair to deal at home
on twelve months time and then pay
cash, and more of it, to a stranger for
the same goods. The person who engi-
neers a''shoopping" excursion is an enemy
to his communitY.-[D an0iLe A91o-

Not Necessary For Editors to Read
Them From Beginning to End.
Once more the tale goes round of the
author who sent a story to three jour
nails and had it returned by every one
without having been read. He knew it
because he had pasted two of the leaves
together. Very likely. We do not think
of reading through half or a quarter
of the articles that are sent to US. It
often does not take half minute to dis
card what one knows he doesn't want
1t is an old saying that one does not
need to eat whole joint to learn
whether it is tainted.
1t would be a revelation to some of
these writers to see how fast an expe-
rienced and conscientious editor can, at
times, go through big pile of essays,
stories or poems. The title is often
enough, and he would say, "We dom
want an article on that subject" The
next article begins with page or two
Of commonplace introduction, and that
is thrown aside in half a minutes in
spection without turning more than
the next page. The next begins with
platitude-"W can't print that stuff. %
The first verse Of this next poem has
false meter and is tossed aside. The
next begins in schoolgirl style, with
"dove" and ''love;" it is not read
through. Of the next the editor reads
ten lines. 1t is simply dull descrip-
tion Of stream in forest-not want
ed. The next poem begins in fresh
way, seems to be constructed according
to the rules, is pretty good. 1t is put
one side to see if other better poems
| will crowd it out. The next is story.
The first page is promising, but the Sec
ond shows coarse strain, and the read
ing stops there.
Ten articles are decided upon, and
with sufficient good judgment. in ten
minutes, for a minute to manuscript
is often twice as much time as it needs.

to stick an iron skewer in a smoked
ham, draw it out and smell of it. Not

1t has been settled beyond a doubt
that the identical lamp which Guy
Fawkes carried in poking about in the
cellar of the houses of parliament, when
he intended to blow them up, is now in
existence. This lantern is in the Ash

Goebel Versus the Railroads


1.-THE Louisville P.et)
Those railroads against which Mr..
William Goebel wishes to array the
whole State of Kentucky have much TO
their credit which the people IRE certain
to recall
There has been, ever since the war,
steady improvement in the accommOda-
tions, promptneSS of service, celebrity OF
movemelt and safety, AID with il con
tinued decline IN charges and advance
in wages.
The Agricultural Department st
Washington has been making some
elaborate investigation into the cost OF
cotton, &1d its price. IL seems that,
fifty yeaya ago, It cost nearly as mpca
to market a baie Of Cotton - tic
bale is now worth The comparison is
ilemized, and shows that, in 1840, it cost
$18.15 to market . bale Of cotton from
Alabama to Liverpool, while in 1897 the
cost was $7.S9
The railroads are doing all in thtii
power TO make agriculture profitable
but it is not recorded that Senator GObel
has done anything in this direction
In our Judgment, Ar. Goebel has over
reached himself; he has played bis game
in politics too long.
Kentucky is tired OF ttoebeiism ami
hard times; tired Of the constant as
saults on every organization and every
movement that would bring prosperity
TO KentuckY.
A triumph Of GoebeIism woUl3 NEAR

What Ogden Said.

Robert G Ogden, of the Wanamaker
establishments recently said, in a
speech before the Merchants AssOcia-
ton:
''The one mistake that most mer-
chants make is that they do not take
advertising seriously enough.
Most merchants realize lis impor-
lance, bat still neglect its opportuni-
lies.
1.-The newspaper is the merchants
rOstrum. 1t is his pulpit. 1t is his
stump. From that he speaks to hls
audience.
1T is the channel through which he
speaks to the people he desires to address
His character is the soul of his ad-
vertising, and his advertising is the soul
of his business.

member Of the Legislature is under

-. Q-The Republican politicians
say the court Will hold the 9TH section
Or the grandfather clause. S0-called. Of
the amendment unconstitutional. and
the 4ch section. or the educational
Qualttcational clause, constitutional.
Is there any truth in this statement:
A-Ah>0lutely none whatever. THIS
5 altogether the most absurd position
the Republican politicians have taken
against the amendment. Every tyro
n the law knows that when SEVER
Al SECTIONS or provisions of law
constitute PAKTS OF ONE GE\EH-
Al SCHEME of legislation, 50 that
those voting for it. would not likely
have voted for ONE PART or SEC
TlON without the other parts or sec
tons. the WHOLE must STAND OR
FALL TOuETHER. Moreover the
people are going to vote for ONE
AMENDMENT, not for TWO or
THREE SEPARATE AMEND
MENTS. They are going to vote for
the WHOLE AMENDMENT. and not
FOR DETACHED PARTS OR SEC
IIONS OF THE AMENDMENT.
The courts cannot say to the people:
We will MAKE YOU take HALF
OF WHAT YOU HAVE VOTED
FOR, but we will NOT LET YOU
have the OTHER HALF. though YOU
VOTED FOR IT AS \ WHOLE, and
though you might NOT HAVE NO
TED FOR ONE HALF WITHOUT
THE OTHER HALF, INDEED,
WOULD HAVE VOTED DOWN THE
HALE We FORCE UPON YOU, with
out the HALF WE DENY YOU"
That would be the COURT AMEND
ING THE CONSTITUTIONS and NOT
THE PEOPLE. and no court has al:
thOrIty to amend the constitution. SO
Il is TOO clear for argument that these
TWO sections of the amendment must
stand or fall together.
II. Q-Rut who says the act is un-
constitutional:
A-Why the Honorable Jeter Pritch-
ard says So
But he said there was no negro dom
ination in Wilmington before the elec-
ton. and before the revolution hurled
them from power, and drove their
white allies into enforced exile.
II. of Mr.. Pri1chard and the Re
publicanS think the amendment is I'M
constitutional. why do they trouble
themselves about it. when every one
knows an unconstitutional law is no
law at all. and can neither hurt nor
help any one:
A-They are merely playing politics.
They hope by misrepresentation to
fool the people, and get back into pow
er. They nave not yet learned that
they cannot fool all the people all the
time.
IL. Q-Will the amendment be adopt
ed?
Ayes. beyond any doubt what
ever, and by an overwhelming major
ity. The white people are determined
to make white supremacy PERMA-
NENT in North Carolina.
