IT is reported that the Virginia,
Carolina Chemical Co, will estab-
lish hundred thousand dollar plant
at Memphis. The reason they go to
Memphis is because the river and
other railroads give competition and
compel the l.. & N. to reasonable
freight rates. Columbia would have
had several plants before now, and
Mt. Pleasant would be doing twice
or thrice the business it is, ii the l.
& N. had any rival in this territory.
The wonder is that capitalists do not
invade this territory with another
line of railroad. They may search
the South over aud they cannot find a
more inviting field than from the
Tennessee river through Perry,
Hickman, Lewis, Maury, and Bed
ford counties, on through E st
Tennessee to Virginia. Tnat line
would go through hundreds of thou
sands OF acres Of virgin timber land,
through the rich phosphate fields OF
Perry and Maury counties, and the
coal lands of East Tennesses. The
country is not only wonderfully rich
in resources, but already well
peopled, and its development would
be as fast as the tracks could be laid
The railroad company would no
have to wait day for business, but
would find the business waiting for
them. Speed the day!

TO ADVERTISERS.

The HERALD received for SUB.
scriptions Monday, more money
than was taken In during the whole
month of July year ago. Adver-
tisers should make note of this. 1t
goes to show two things; that the
HERALD's subscription list Is grow
ing, and that 1t Ia a live paid.np
list. People who pay for a paper
will take 1t out of the post-office and
read It. While lists that are never
gone over ard cleaned up collect a
surprising number of papers that are
not read. You would be surprised
how many people change their post
office In, a year. OF this number,
those who have paid for their paper
notify the publisher to send 1T to
their new address, where they con-
tinue to read and enjoy it. But
those who are in arrears, say never .
word. The paner goes on and on +;
some sitter around the country office
takes It out and reads 1t occasion
ally, but it belongs to nobody and is
not regularly read by anybody, and
Ia OF little or no service to the ad'
vertiser.
People who do read a paper they
have not paid for for several years
as the debt accumulates against
them begin to dread the very ap.
pearance of the paper. 1t ia a re-
minder to them of their debt. 1t Ii
silent dun. 1t Is an unwelcomt
visitor. And don't you know tina
what an unwelcome visitor says hal
not half the influence as the same
words spoken by a welcome visitor
You may hear one man talk and en-
Joy what he says; while the sam'
words spoken by another would no
interest you. 1t is the same witt
many people in regard to thei
favorite paper. They take 1t ~
with pleasure and confidence ant
their minds are receptive TO an.
reasonable thing they read in il
And their favorite paper is the on
they have paid for. The one the.
have not paid for, but which keep
on coming and coming and coming
and the debt against them accumula
ing and accommodating and accumu
lating, until it is now larger tina
they feel able to pay, becomes
positive bore to them, and they won
read it, even If it does continue
come.
We know this is true, because s
many have told us so and that
one reason why we give premium
and send out duns and keep our lis
clean and paid up.
Advertising is science. It pay
when properly done. 1t does not pa
so well when carelessly done. Th
man who sticks his ad just anywhel
in any paper, frequently fails to g
good results. But the man who wi
select the paper that has large III
of pdid-up hUe subscribers, GOVERN
the territory he wishes to reach, an
who will take pains in writing his a
and pay for good position, is ce
tain to obtain good results.
THE HERALD goes all over Maur
county. Into every hill and hollow
nook and crarny; and wherever
goes it is read; and wherever 1t
read, it is either borrowed or pa
for.
When you have inserted an ad
THE DAILY and WEEKLY HERAL
you have reached 20 per cent of tt
white population of Maury count
who can read.

INVITED to deliver an address at a
national service at Asbury Park
some Sunday afternoon next month,
WI. Bryan replied as follows: Sun
day is the only day that 7 have for
rest. Without that day L would not
be able to undergo the work of the
campaign" Every nan ought to
have that one day of rest; and the
law ought to compel all employ ers
of labor to observe that day.

THE fact that ex-Speaker Reed
had been blacklIsted by the Repub-
licans was, it is said, given out at
Chicago, in order to break the force
of declaration against present Re-
publican principles that Mr.. Reed
was about to make. This, however,
will probably not prevent him from
firing his shot and from making a
serious breach in the Repub lican
breastworks with it.

MANY other towns in the State, of
smaller size than Columbia, and
(which do not have near the amount
Of railroad traffic as this place, have
much better depot accomm odations.
The l.. & N. is good on making
promises and blowing about going
to build,' but it will keep from
building a new depot just as long as
it can.

The Poll Tax Proyiso.
NoN-PAYMENT DOES NOT DIsoUAL1FT
VOTERS AT NEXT ELECTION.


The following extracts from the
new constitution show that non-com-
pliance with the provision regarding
poll tax does not disqualify voters
for the coming state election. There
is some doubt about its application to
the fall election, but voters at the
state election are expressly exempt
from its provisions:
Art. 1913. No person less than so
years Of age shall be permitted to vote
at any election in the state who shall
not have paid on or be-
fore the 31st CT December of each
year, for the two years preceding the
year in which he offers to vote, poll
tax of 81 per annum. Every
person liable for such tax shall be-
fore being allowed to vote, exhibit to
the commissioners of election his poll
tax receipts for two years. -
This section shall not 60 into opera
ton until after the general state elec-
ton to be held in the year 1900, and
the legislature elected in the year
1908 shall have authority to repeal
or modify the same.
