Did you ever make a business of studying human nature by reading ad- vertisements? There is the careless man who puts his .'ad' in among lot of other ads" in an out of the way place and rarely ever changes the subject He just says Blank. Blank &, O., old reliable dealers, leaders in low prices, etc, etc. He is usually honest and re- liable but high priced.
 Then comes the humorous man who during one of his gay moods works off one of his old reliable puns on the pub lie in his paid space. He is harmless and helps the newspaper pay expenses
 The jealous man shows his malice and spleen by wasting his valuable space and time with dark insinuat1ons, and so inflicts his troubles on the dis gusted and weary public. He is mis- guided in his own interests and decelVes no one.
 But the most foolish and meanest ad- vertiser is the one who not only dis plays spleen and jealousy, but blows and brags and lies every time he ln- serts an "ad." He says: Don't go to other stores in town where everything is shopworn, cheap and shoddy, with poor assortments. but come to his store where everything is bought in full cases in thousand lots and is new and fresh" " The fact may be that he is despiSed by all the travelling men as a liar and a braggart, and that the wholesale houses of the country know him for a dead beat and demand cash with his orders. His goods may be just as Shopworn and no better than those of his competitors and he buys from hand to mouth in the smallest possible quantities. Just give him rope.
 The most progressive and successful advertiser is the one who uses his space to advertise his business and not his malice or jealousy or wit. He tells the honest truth. If he advertises just re- ceiving 1000 of an article, ne has the shipping bill and invoice to show for it. He isn't afraid to put his prices in the paper, and backs every statement with his money and his honor. He is willing to concede that his competitors are honest and worthy of patronage, and that he is not the only pebble on the beach. Such an advertiser will usual ly succeed, and it is to such advertising that Davidson's Cash Store owes its growth. Watch this space and verify the statements it contains by calling a the store when you think of purchasing.

Col. W. J. Bryan is opposed to the
efforts being made to harmonize the
different discordant elements in the
Democratic ranks so as to place the
party in the path to victory. He is
fighting the proposition to reorganize
the party on broader and more liberal
policies and in spirit, if not in letter,
is willing to see the party 60 down
again in defeat rather than to surren-
der the populistic policies which have
been epgrsfted upon the body polite
and sucked it's vitals and energy. A
re,urn to the pure, simple doctrine Of
Jefferson would infuse new life and
new vigor into the dried up arteries
and the warning hopes caused by
the repeated defeats which have
o7ertsken it since the civil war
through the mistakes, short sighted
ness and narrow mindedness of those
who have been entrusted by the peo-
pie with it's leadership, who have
been victims of the glamor of false
lights and the advocates Of unsound
doctrines.

Wednesday, July 23, 1902.

Next Monday the candidates for
United States Senator will be in Lex
ineton to address the people on
questions in reference to the policy
of the National government in deal
ing with the governed and its rela-
tion with foreign powers.
The candidates are all more or less
known to the people Of the State
either personally OF by reputation by
reason of their past public and private
records, and in coming before the
people asking their suffrage to elevate
one among their number to the high
est political position within power OF
of sovereign people to bestow,
they are but exercising right vouch
ssfed to them by the rules and regu-
lstions of the Democratic party of
this State. They are all bightoned
gentlemen and eminent statesmen
who, with but one exception, have q
national reputation in forming the
policies and measures of the party.
It is an honor to seek the position
to which they aspire and in honoripg
either one of them the people will
reflect honor upon themselves. These
gentlemen have complied with all the
requirements of the rules governing
primary elections; have paid their
assessments for the privilege of con-
tending for the place and in return
they have right to expect, and it is
but natural for them to do so, a large
turnout of Democratic voters at these
campaign meetings and an attentive
hearing. Lexington has the reputa-
tion of giving the candidates large
audiences as we'll as close attention
and we want the reputation of the
old county sustained next Monday.
Everybody should show their inter-
est in the psrty's welfare by coming
to the court house next Monday and
hear what these silver tongued ora
tors have to say for themselves. 1t
will be day will spent, and while it
cannot be classed as strictly cam
psign of education yet much can be
learned by attending it, so let every
man, woman and child in Lexington
county assemble at the court house
early next Monday morning.

Candidate Hayward, in his speech
at this place campaign day, declared
that the South should not now be so
much concerned about political ques-
tions as it should be in industrial
ones, and by way Of Illustration COM
pared the prosperous condition CT the
New England S'stss, which had given
it's fostering care and attention almost
entirely to the encouragement OF its
industrial interests to the exclusion
of political ones, with the condition
of the South which has heretofore
given it's entire time and attention
to politics to the injury Of its indus
trial interests. This is euinently
correct and the sentiment is as sound
as a gold dollar, but this doctrine is
double distilled Republlcanism and
in giving expression to it Candidate
Hayward was venturing on exceed
ingly dangerous ground.
