Why Not Advertis }?

For more than two years the town
of Southern Pines has not spen, any
money for advertising, and We know
that it's failure to do so has materially
retarded the town S rogress
A few individuals have always been
ready to spend something for adver-
Using, and have in a private way,
added something to the town as we'll
as their own business, by advertising.
Just now it is absolutely true that
there is no interest whatever shown
as regards the matter of advertising,
and instead of our city governm ent
offering to spend 81, 500 or 1000
year for advertising, it is resting on its
oars, and the fast train which should
put us off dozen or so tourists every
day, "hits the grit like a streak O:
creased Tightening while passing our
station. In fact it is out of sigh
before we see it.
Again We mus pay attenti' to on
streets, our sidewalks, and drives, an6
any other improvements which will
make us more attractive. We art
suffering from a quietness-an over
dose OF do nothing-a dullness pain
fully apparent and even at the risk
of having another Water Works board
of commissioners, we must be up and
doing, All our sister towns are ad
vertising are we going to sit still?
Is it feet that we are all so busy
that we have no time to organize q
board of trade? A chamber of COM
merce? Or something in that line?
Every day some one says: Please
give us something about Southern
Rines to send to our friends in the
North. ~
Why not advertise little?

ST. LOUIS NEEDS MEN
TO CLEAN STREETS
Positions at S1.5O a Day Await
Several Hundred Willing
Hands.

For more than a month past the street
cleaning department has had difficulty in
securing enough men to do the necessary
work, notwithstanding that there is lying
idle In the City Treasury $4,000 to be divided
among the several hundred men at the rate
of $3.50 a day each.
Eight hours of work a day is all that is
required of any man who wishes to earn the
money, and there is no obstacle in the way
no civil-service examination IS necessary.
Never before In the history of the st.
Louis Street Department has there been
such n dearth of laborers as there IS at
present Heretofore the army OF applicants
for work has been so large as to be annoy
day laborerS.
For years the city has carried several
hundred men on its pay roll for street clean
ing in the downtown district but recently
the Street Commissioner secured an addi-
tional appropriation of $1,000 to be used for
Keeping the macadam streets and crossings
clean: Superintendent Stroup of the street
cleaning division Immediately set about
looking for men to do the work. So far
his efforts in this direction have been re-
warded by the employment OF twenty-five
men: all that he could muster into service.
This IS the first time in my experience
that We have ever been unable to get
enough men TO keep the streets clean"
said Commissioner Varrelmann.
city offers is responsible for the shortage
of applicants. j think Sl50 a day for eight
hours work is not SO bad. In other cities
there are men working for less money. 1t
must be the Worlds Fair that is keeping
men from looking for work
I'VE have been trying for a month to get
men to clean the macadam streets-there
is work and money for several hundred
Times must be pretty good when men re-
