Our Advertisers.

When you 60 to make your pur-
chases-for Christmas or any other
time-rempmbe that the dealers who
seek your patronage through the ad-
vertising columns of the GOLD LEAF
are the people you want to trade
with. 1t is sound proposition,
recognized throughout the business
world, that the merchants who turn
their money over most often are the
ones who can and do sell goods at
an average smaller profit. No BUSH
ness man who does not advertise can
possibly turn over money as often as
the one who does advertise. 1t is
therefore to your interest to trade
with the advertising merchant.

County Expenditures.

4 comparison OF the county eXpen-
ditures OF 1903 and 1904, as shown
by the annual exhibits published, is
interesting. For fhe year 1903 the
grand total was S9,215.2s. This
year it is S12.316.35, an increase OF
50, 1O1 OF. This increase is due to
the following causes: Smallpox ac-
count, $4,000; court house vaults.
STA; connecting Jail with sewer,
$5OO-making S3,414 extra expense
which the county had to meet this
year over last year. Leaving off
these three items the general county
expenses were about $500 less than
last year-or to be exact, $313.O7,
Notwithstanding the court costs were
twice as heavy this year.
This speaks we'll for the excellent
conduct of the county affairs. Vance
county has the lowest tax rate of
any county in the State with one ex-
ception.- Its affairs are honestly and
economically administered, its pub
lie institutions in good condition
and its poor we'll provided for

About Selling Fireworks.

Some of the merchants have an
erroneous opinion about the town
ordinance regulating the sale of fire.
works. They take it that to sell
fireworks they must pay a license
tax of $4,000, 5000 to the town,
and $1,000 to the State. This is not
the fact. No extra license is required
for selling fireworks of the ordinary
kind. the regular merchants license
of $500 covering that. But re-
striction is put on the size and kind
sold under that license and if a mer-
chant wants to sell the other kind
then he is subject to a special license
tax of $1,000, imposed by the town.
The ordinance reads as follows, chap
ter II, section g.;
''NO person shall sell fre-erackers,
cannon crackers, or other explosive fire.
works of greater size than three-fOurths
of an inch in diameter or six inches in
length without first paying town tax
of fifty dollars Each sale in violation of
this section shall constitute a separate
offense''
This ordinance is all right and was
framed to prevent the sale OF danger
Gus explosives like cannon crackers
or baby wakers-which it is we'll to
keep out of the hands of small boys.
The Commissioners did not have a
right to prohibit the sale of such
things, but they did have right to
put such a tax on them as to make
it practically prohibitive. And in
thislthe GOLD LEAF stands by them
and commends their action.
As stated at the outset, as far as
the ordinary and less dangerous kind
OF tireworks-pop-crackers, Roman
candles, sky-rockets, and everything
of that class-dealers can sell all they
please and boys buy as many as they
can pay for without let or hindrance

rules about shooting them of course

JAPANESE STRATEGY.

The Japanese believe themselves to
be much brighter than the Russians.
From all accounts of them they think
they are superior to any other nation
intellectually. They knew of course
that the Russians We're far stronger
than they were in point of numbers,
but, in deciding upon war, they. counted
upon their strategy and generalship to
give them the victory. 1t must be adj
mitted that thus far in the war they
have shown that there is some founda-
ton for their claim of greater ability
in conducting a war.
They are getting a good deal of sat
isfaction out of their success in de-
stroying the Russian battleship Petro-
pavloysk. 1t is probable they feel as
much pride in the manner in which
they accomplished the destruction of
that ship as If they had sunk her in a
battle. OF course. they did nothing
forbidden by the rules of war. The
purpose of war is to destroy the ell
envy, and mines and torpedoes are per-
mltted.
1t is doubtful If the Russians would
have thought of doing what the Jap
anese did. BY careful observation che
latter discovered what part of the
channel leading into the inner harbor
of Port Arthur was free from mines
the part the Russians had left free for
the passage of their own ships out and
in. On a dark night the Japanese
placed mines in this channel and then
lured the Russians out. The result
was the destruction of the battiesh!p.
Mr.. Cramp, the Philadelphia ship
builder, suggests that before long the
nations will prohibit the use of torpe-
does. They may do so, though 1t win
only be after great deal of discus
sion. The position may be taken that
the more expensive war is made the
less likely will it be that nations will
engage in it.
They are now putting hundreds of
millions of dollars in steel fortresses
that may never have an opportunity to
use their guns against an enemy. No
satisfactory way has yet been discov-
cred by science to guard the costly
structures against the destructive little
torpedo. 1t does seem as If Admiral
Makaroff, who went down in the Pc
tropavlovsk, had some ground for his
contention that it was mistake to
put so much money in battleships when
they could be so easily destroyed ty
a torpedo or mine. Mr.. Cramps
suggestion will excite discussion even
If it doesn't result in bringing about
the prohibition of the use of the tor
