Advertising a Business Necessity.
Goldsboro Argus.


Judicious advertising brings results
not only because the public is thus in
formed where and how they can buy and
sell, but because such a policy shows
thrift and enterprise. The man who does
not advertise is like the man who sits
down and waits for something to turn
up, while the man who does advertise is
like the man who goes out and turns up
something To get business these days
the merchant or manufacturer has to go
after it. If he doesn't the other fellow
will get the business. The advertiser
goes after it, by keeping his wares and
prices before the public. Every thing in a
community may know a Mr.. So-and-So
has large department store, but if
Mr. So-and-So doesn't advertise the peo-
pie will gradually forget it. Nearly all
the prosperous business enterprises have
realized this, and SO they are constantly
jogging the memory of the public by ad-
vertising.

Refugees Are Made Prisoners.

YIN KOW, February 2S.-The first
reports by eyewitness of the engage

ceived here. They say that one Jap

beached near the Retvizan and that
nineteen Japanese in civilian clothing
reached shore and We're made prison
ers.
The Retvizan is serviceab1e as an
auxiliary, for the foreign engineer has
abandoned hope of raising her, as the
patching on the four-foot cleft made
by a Japanese torpedo has given way
and stopped progress and the Russian
engineers have interfered with the orig
inal plans of raising the vessel

How :rapaness Are Mobilizing.

wEI-HAI-WEI, February Is The
japanese disembarkations for the last
few days have. been confined to sup
plies and the transport corps and 45oO
ponies. The total of troops landed is
10000. including the twelfth division
and part of the second division of
guards. The artillery consists Of six
battalions belonging to the twelfth,
each drawn by five ponies. A disem-
barkation is believed to be making on
the coast south of Hal Ju, whence the
troops will advance parallel to the Pc
king road, joining those in the neigh
borhood of Hwang Ju, thus gaining
Ave days march. Tt Is supposed 5000
troops, with a few guns, are now adj
vancing from Seoul toward Ping Yang.
The advance of the Russian patrols is
marked by the interruption of the tele-
graph. There is 7 trustworthy infor-

Koreans estimate that 5000 have cross

for an army; and one of the principal
reasons given was that it is a single
track road.
HAD PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.
These last statements seem to be be-
lieved by a very large number of our
own people. Yet, when we remember
that the Minister of Transportation of
the Russian Empire has had practical
experience in railroading in our own
country for years, and that all the
double track in this country is only
about per cent of the whole main line
mileage, we may reasonably entertain
a doubt of their reliability.
1t will be remembered also, that,
while we now have six transcontinenta1
railways between the Atlantic and the
Pacific, for ten years the single line
of the Union Pacific transported all the
traffic and commerce and mail to the
Pacific coast, and that today the great
Vanderbilt lines to Chicago and St.
Louis are double-tracked only thirty
Pennsylvania double track ends at
Pittsburg.
1t will not, however, be necessary to
move all the troops, animals or sup
plies the entire length of that road, for
some of the personnel and much of the
native transportation in Manchuria
and Siberia will be utilized for war pur-
poses, and large quantities OF supplies
for man and beast will be obtainable
in the section of country or adjacent to
it occupied by the military forces.

BIr. 8IcNeaI's Sketch.
There is a general impression that
Kansas is young, and in a sense this
impression is correct When Kansas
was admitted to the Union the older
states had already enjoyed nearly
rhree-Quarters of a century OF partici-
patton in the benefits and glories of
the republic.
And yet Kansas historically is old.
as age is measured in the annals of
the new world whose shores We're
first sighted in the gray of the Octo-
Der morning, by Columbus. four cen
turtles ago.
Eighty years before the Pngrinl
fathers anchored their ship on the
storm-swept coast of New England,
Kansas was making a record in his
tory.
Two and one-haf centuries before
the unframed men in homespun re-
pulsed the attack Of the flower OF
England's army at Breeds Hill, the
nrst real estate boom was on in Kan
sas, and the stories of fortunes await
ing the settler attracted the attention
of the Spanish chivalry. who were
ready to endure any hardship to salts
~ their hunger for adventure and
gold.
AT almost the same time that Co
ronado was making his weary ard
dangerous march from the south in
search of the tabled Quivira. another
famous knight Grant DeSoto. was
pushing westward through forest
swamp and len in search OF the riches
which he supposed lay still beyond. 1t
seemed to be a bitter irony OF fate
that this most gallant of all the sons
of Spain should never have been PEI
mitted TO progress further than Ms

land.
