The Key to Success and WeaIth-N0.

Saturday Evening Post.
OF men who have grown rich
through advertising there are scores
to be found in every city, almost in
every tow-. With few exceptions,
almost every industry in the land is
dependent on proper advertising for
success. And this is getting to be the
case to a greater extent everysyear.
Even the Standard Oil Company,
notorious for it's antiquated meth
DDS, is going into the field. Not long
ago the company spent over $780,
600 advertising the virtues of oil
stoves for cooking and heating, to
stimulate the demand for kerosene.
The coal strike last year taxed the
petroleum supply to such an extent
that the Standard did not repeat the
experiment, which, it is said, was
found very satisfactory. Some of it's
by-products, like paraffine wax and
candles, axle grease, lubricating oil,
and SO forth, are advertised regular
ly, but in a small way compared
to the advertising of some Of the
other big trusts. 1t is confidently
prophesied, however, that the time is
in sight when the Standard Oil Co.
will spend million dollars a year to
push it's products, as some other
great combinations are doing.
The United States Steel Company
since it's organization has spent
probably three times as much for ad-
vertising as was spent before eonsol-
idation by it's constituent companies
One of its branches, the American
Steel and Wire Company, has gone
into practically every agricultural
paper in the country advertising its
wire fencing. The National Biscuit
Company last year spent i'm the neigh
borhood Of million and a quarter
dollars, and the American Tobacco
Company about as much.
Railroad advertising has grown by
successive stages until today it ranks
among the most Important in the
land. The fifteen leading railroads oi
the country spent in 1901 over $2,-
900, 900, and it is expected that the
annual reports for 1902 will show a
very large increase over this. Acorn
paratively few years ago there was
little or no railroad advertising in
the ordinary sense. The New York
Central led the way when George FL
Daniels became its general passenger
agent, and the other great roads
were not slow to follow suit.
The entire industrial system of ths
country is being modified by thu
power OF advertising. The middle
man, the iobber, is being more ane
more eliminated, and the producer il
going direct to the consumer. Thi.

FOUND LOST MONEY.
Would Not Restore 1t to the Owner
and Gets Into Trouble In Conse.
Quence.

Some people have an idea that
when they find an article that has
been lost it belongs to them, that
they are under no obligation, moral
or legal, to restore it to the owner.
This is wrong and no honest person
believes to the contrary. The dis
honest person who finds money or
any other article of value needs no
stretch of the Imagination to make
him feel that it is rightfully his and
he says nothing about the find and
appropriates it to his own use with
out making an effort to find the loser.
But such person is as surely a thief
and as guilty as if he had stolen the
property of another in some other
way. And he is just as liable to get
himself into the tolls of the law if the
facts become known.
These remarks are suggested by an
article in the Reidsville Weekly. and
are here submitted because there have
been several losses of money and
other valuables in Henderson lately
from which nothing has ever been
heard. Following is the article from
the Weekly:
About a week ago Mr. Robt Neal who
lives near Gentry, on the road leading
from Madison to Greensboro, went to
Stokesdale to see about buying some
land, taking with him between $500 and
$675 in money for that purpose. Upon
arriving at his destination he discovered
that he had lost the money, which he
put either in his hip or side pocket. Dill
igent search was made for the lost pock-
et-book, MIR. Neal exhausting every effort
to locate it, employing searchers to ex-
anime the route he traversed closely, and
having posters printed and distributed
offering a reward for the recovery of his
property.
Later he remembered meeting an old
| man by the name of Rank Huffines as he
was going to Stokesdale. and his son re-
called seeing the old man acting in a sus-
picious manner soon afterwards Fol
| lowing up this clue Mr.. Neal found that
Frank Huffines, a son of old man Hui
fines, and his wife had left for parts un-
known Ho finally located them in DAN
vile. and Chief Gardner, of this place,
| went to that city and had them arrested.
Young Huffines was searched and S262.-
81 in money was found on his person. He
admitted the money was not his, but
said he found it in a bureau drawer at
home. They were brought to Reidsville
for trial.
Tuesday officers Lambeth and joyce
| went out to old man Huffines' to inves-
tigate the matter further. The old man
denied any knowledge whatever OF the
money. and invited the officers to search
his house to their hearts content. After
Hooking the house over pretty well, they
told him they had a warrant for him and
he would have to come, with them to
| Reidsville, whereupon the old mans wiie
| spoke up and told him not to get himself
in any trouble: if he knew anything about

the money, he had better tell it. The old
man then showed the officers ball of
yarn, which they had handled, not sus-
pecting anything wrong with it, but
when it was unwound, 10 and behold!
1920 in paper money was revealed. The
officers pressed him to tell all he knew
and he directed them to pile of bed
quilts, in which $12O in gold coin was
concealed. He said he would have made
clean breast of it at first, but his son
Frank left the money with him and
threatened his life if he told anything
Frank Huffines and wife and the old
man were given hearing before Squire
J. B. Johnston yesterday afternoon, who
bound them over to the special term oi
the Superior Court in bonds of 500 each,
in default of which all three went to jail
The senior Huffines is an old man, gray
and wrinkled, and bowed with age, which
fact makes people sorry for him, nOtwith-
standing he is old enough to know bet

Mr.. Neal will get back 5000 81 of his
money.

Worthy Of Liberal Support.

Rev. P. r. Law in Lumberton Robesonian.
It is always gratifying in a pecu-
liar way to see progress and prosper
itv in a newspaper. The business is
one that involves much labor for lit
tie pay. Few make money by run
ming newspaper. There is great
fascination in the work. 1t is this
that keeps many at it. But we start
ed out to express our Joy at seeing
the manifest improvement in The
Fatherless Ones. This paper has had
a hard experience. We have been
ashamed of it at times. We are not
now. It's makeup is attractive. In
a word, it has improved in every way.
This paper and Charity and Children,
both edited by excellent men, always
get a reading at our hands. We are
helped by them in several ways. One
stands for the orphans at Barium
Springs and the other for the orphans
at Thomasville. A good way to help
the orphans is to subscribe for these
two papers.
