A Short Essay on the Subject With
Illustrations and a Little Free Ad.
vice.

Communicated.
People, it seems like to be humbugged.
They are unable to withstand the solici-
tations of agents They see in the papers
where agents are told how to make
800 90 a week They think this fraud,
vet allow the agents to make it out OF
them Some years ago travelling agents
sold an immense number OF worthless
patent churns in Granville for many dol
lars piece Cook stove agents, sewing
machine agents, patent well-fixture
agents have lately invaded Vance County
and sold large numbers OF their wares
for two or more times what they were
worth and great deal more than SINH
lar goods could be bought for in Hender-
aOn.
Some years ago pair Of Life Insur
ance agents went over the county and
hardly a man they tackled escaped,
though few OF them were able to pay the
first premium. and nearly every one failed
to pay the next. We all know these
agents are hired to do that particular
thing; that they learn their little speech
by heart; and no matter what you say
you can't throw one OF them Off his sub
iect if YOU listen to him. yet we can't re-
sist the fascination Of their glib tongues.
They hold US with their eye. When was
a youth | worked four days and hall
for four dollars and a half, boarding my
self, and paid that money to book
agent for a book worth not four cents
and half and that did not cost fifty
cents. That taught me n lessOn but
have allowed myself to be ''picked up"
since then a time or two. People have
been cheated so often by cunning devices
and had to pay notes transferred to in
nOcent third parties, for which they re-
ceived no benefit, that the legislatures OF
Tennessee and some other States now re-
quire the consideration of all notes given
to soliciting agent to be expressed in
the notes
The strangest part OF it is that not
only the people who live off the big
road are gulled, but the smartest men
we have pay tribute to the soliciting
agent. A few days ago gentleman
stepped into my office with manners as
polished as Major Stedman and voice as
earnest as Bob Glenn His eye at once
fell on my Webster's Dictionary, latest
edition, book by the way that ought
to be in every house. He asked me how
| liked it, and if would sign statement
that had it and valued it. did so, but
read it first. Ipaid twelve dollars and
| freight for the book-boughti it in Decem-
ber, 1900, in two months after the new
edition was published, but this polished
| agent sold copies of it, same edition and
binding for sixteen dollars or more to
| four or more of the shrewdest and most
| intelligent business men in Henderson
when they could have bought it OF
Stephens in ordinary leather for $1,000
| and in Russian leather like the one they
bought for $1,000.
Agents and solicitors will continue to
come as long as they find ready listeners
! If those who read this will think of what
is herein set down whenever hereafter an
agent attempts to mesmerize them it
may help them to resist his advances
The best way is to Learn to say No.
and stick to it. T. T. HICKS.

Such words of praise from a person o.
such high standing must be accepted as
unquestionable proof of the superiority
of Ninol.
Do you wonder that our Ninol has such
strong hold upon the esteem of doctors
and patients? We know of nothing else
that will accomplish such wonderful re,
suits; and. remember. Ninol is not a
patent medicine.
There are hundreds of old people in this
vicinity who need just such a strength
maker and tissue-builder as Vinol. Their
blood is thin and sluggish-Ninol will
enrich and quicken the blood and build
up the system. 1t is so much better than
whiskey and strong stimulants. which
always have bad after effect and weaken
and break down. There is nothing in
the world so good for the weak. the aged
or the rundown system and to cure a
hanging on cold or hacking cough as
NInol, and because we know so well what
it will do we are always ready to refund
every cent paid us for it if it fails to do
what we say. Try it on our guarantee.

MUST HAVE PORT ARTHUR

The Japanese have determined upon the capture of Fort Arthur by the quickest possible process, and they are willing to make almost any sacrifice or money or men to accomplish the end sought. The desperate assaults that have been made upon that stronghold demonstrate the strategieal importance of the place.
 The capture of Port Arthur would give the Japanese the absolute control of the waters of the east, and permit them to operate there at will. It would mean the capture of the Russian fleet that is bottled up in the harbor at that place, and the release of the blOckad- ing fleet that is there, permitting it to 20 to the defense Of merchant marine and transport service. It would per init Japan to strike with the full strength of its war power at Liaoyang' Mukden and Harbin.
 The situation seems to demand that the Japanese capture Port Arthur be- fore the arrival of the Russian Baltic fleet, which would attempt to raise the blockade at that place, and permit the consolidation of the Russian Baltic, Port Arthur and VladivOstock deets' The approach of the sailing date for the Baltic fleet and the ease with which the Chinese junks run the blockade with supplies for the besieged Russian forces at Port Arthur, indicate the necessity for immediate results. The mikado's generals understand this con- dition. They have been made, a.so' to understand the terrible cost of forcing the issue there, but they are, aPpar- ently, willing to pay the price for quick results.

That both of the political parties are out after the electoral vote of the state of New York is evidenced by the char acter of the timber that the leaders are attempting to bring forward for the governorship. Just now the leading republican candidate for the nomina- tion is EIihu Root, and for the demo- cratic, Dan Lamont. While neither of these men are aspirants, it is likely that neither would refuse a nomination should it be made clearly to appear that the party's interest would be advanced by their accepting. New York would be lucky to have either of the men for governor.

 Alaska offices for Alaskans and out with Brady is the newspaper cry from the Arctic circle to Port Simpson. 1t reflects the sentiment of the people, and should be needed by the powers that be. The conditions demand that this important place be filled by a broad and liberal minded man. As the executive of this great district the governor should be in touch with the people that are developing the resour ces. Seeking the seclusion of the eN- capital of Alaska, and advocating the retention of the governors residence at that place, he has not only autagon- ized the people, but other officials who are seeking a more favorable location for the transaction of government busi- ness. The gentleman is an Indian ad- vocate. He cannot realize that the advent of the whites has forced the natives into the same condition of servitude as witnessed tre westward march of immigration to the Western states.
 Asa shouter iu an Indian meeting the gentleman is a success, but as the chief executive of this great district be is not the right man.
 The republican party should be pre- pared for the future in Alaska and with Brady as their leader they are lost.
