Advertise Your City.
Msrchanfh journal.

Msrchants Journal.
Publicity is the key to twentieth
century business success. He who
has a business must get that busi-
ness before the world, or the world
will pass him by.
The general laws which apply to
ordinary business institutions also
apply to communities and cities. To
settle up Il country you must exploit
it's resources; to build up a city you
must advertise to the world its indus
trial and commercial possibilities.
A Retail Merchants Association is
almost a necessity in any town where
harmony is desired among the differ
ent business classes i'm the carrying
out of plans for town improvement,
securing OF enterprises of various
kinds and the general good OF all.
No city or town an:afford to ewith-
out q good, strong commercial or
ganization and experience has proved
that the plans pursued by the Retail
Merchants Association have been
most effective in maintaining an or
ganization. 1t is never IL difficult
matter to form "a commercial organ
izatiOn, but it will ever be Il difficult
problem to maintain one, therefore,
the system pursued by the retail
merchants by having all local organ
iZations connected with natiOnaland
State associations gives invaluable
aid to each new link 1t is lust as
necessary to have unity and cooper
alton among the business men of IL
State as OF q community and no
business organization should remain
outside of an organization that is
meritOriOuslv strong Tor a common
purpose" There are many towns
surrounded by great natural advan-
tages which the business world has
never heard mentioned. An indi-
vidual does not feel that it is incum-
bent upon him to advertise the re-
sources OF the community, but ii n
business organization is formed the
costs OF such an advertisement as will
properly inform the world of the add
vantages which your city affords will
be comparatively nothing in consid-
Grafton of the good derived.
Municipal advertising has become
a distinct branch of business public
ity. Merchants associations, cham
bers of commerce. boards OF trade,
are the mediums through which ii
municipality can best reach the gen
eral public Every community has
its strong points as place of resi-
dence or as a commercial or manu-
featuring center These facts must
be set forth and given to the public
in some way if there is to be any
progress. The only question is, how
can it best be done? The secretary
should know what he wants and how
to go afterit. Get your goods before
the people who want to buy.

The Divorce Evil.
Communicated.

Communicated.
The increasing frequency Of divorce
throughout. the country and the seri-
Gus consequences resulting tberefrom
in the break, up OF families and the
threatened confusion OF all social order
have aroused the Christian conscience OF
our people to the necessity OF taking
some measures to arrest the evil. The
earnestness OF the opposition to the pre-
vailing conditions in our own State Is
seen in the action of various religious
bodies with reference to the laxity OF the
statute law on the subject, and it is pro-
posed to the General Assembly for re-
turn to the law prevailing Until 1887,
whick allowed no divorce from the bonds
of matrimony except for the one cause
which many persons believe our Lord to
have recognized as sufficient ground
for such action.
Perhaps it is too much to hope that
our people will be prepared to take the
brave stand of our sister State OF South
Carolina, in which no divorce has ever
been granted except during the recon-
structiOn period, when it's government
was in the hands of aliens, but at least
our representatives may consent to re-
move the reprOach which was brought
upon us by recent enactments made In
behalf of less than dozen persons for
their Individual relief in special circum-
stances, in consequence of which more
than 400 divorces were granted in our
State courts in the past year and 400
homes broken up, while the number in
the country at large was 10000!
At the annual convention of the Diocese
of North Carolina in June last, com
mittee was appointed to solicit the CO.
operation OF all organized bodies OF
Christians in memorializing the General
Assembly on the subject, and SO prompt
and hearty mas been the response that we
can not doubt the effect of our appeal.

One story is that, recognizing that
the hour of victory is the hour of
magnanimity,' the President will, in
his new term, deal with the South in
spirit of great consideration. The
story is an agreeable one, but the

even the President himself, knows
from one day to the next what the
President is going to do about any
thing.-CharlOtte Observer.

The Origin of Thanksgiving Day.

An exchange gives the origin of
Thanksgiving Day as follows:
Thanksgiving Day in the United States
of America is a festival held annually to
offer thanks to Providence for bounties
received during the year. 1t is now held
to be legal holiday, and is fixed by
proclamation of the President and States
Governors.
1t was in 1880 that the Episcopal
church recognized the authority of the
government to appoint such a feast, and
in 1888 the Roman Catholic church de-
cideG to publicly observe the occasion
which had received such universal ap-
prevail throughout the land.
In the New England States the day is
honored with greater zest than in any
other section of the country; it is held
to be the national family reunion
day"
1t was the Pilgrim Fathers who first
kept Thanksgiving Day, and this Oh
servance took place in Plymouth in 1921
in the form OF q harvest home festival"
1t was in gratitude to their Maker for
the blessings bestowed upon them that
they devoted the day to feast and prayer
This custom they followed annually.
Congress advised days of thanksgiving
each day during the Revolutionary War,
and in 1879 George Washington ap-
pointed such a day in honor of the adop-
ton of the Constitution, and again in
1895 for the general welfare OF the na-
ton
New York has annually observed the
festival since 1917, and since 1868 the
Presidents have each year issued procla
nations naming the last Thursday in
November as Thanksgiving Day.

Druggist w. w. Parker Tells People
Of fienderson's Quickest neans

For years cod liver Oil has been known
to possess remarkable curative and heal
ing properties for throat, bronchial and
lung troubles, but, as famous physician
has said, on account OF the grease it con-
tains, it has been difficult for people to
take enough Of it into their systems to
combat a thoroughly settled disease.

concentrated form all of the medicinal
curative elements actually taken from

are two letters that have just come to

writes: For long time l suffered with
bronchial trouble and feared consump-
ton. l could not get any relief from
cough medicines, old forms OF cod liver

my chest was sore and irritated. Vinol
has healed the soreness and stopped the

"Mrs. John Hoskins, Bangor, Penn,

years after everything else had failed.

Landlords and Tenants.
Mt. Olive Tribune.

Mt. Olive Tribune.
Perhaps one OF the most needed
reforms OF the present is the enact
ment OF Il stringent law by our Gen
eral Assembly for the enforcement of
contracts between landlords and ten
ants That such legislation is great
ly needed in order to regulate the
now unsatisfactory and unfair con-
ditiOns, has been brought forcibly to
our mind recently by learning of
what may be termed outrageous
practices under the present law. As
it is now, landlord has practically
no protection against disreputable
and scheming tenants, who, in many
cases, take advantage of the undue
privilege allowed them under the law.
We know numerous cases where
farmers have supplied tenants thro'
the idle months, and then these
worthless fellows deserted and left
the landlords in the lurch when the
busy season arrived.
No class OF people deserve more
protection than the tenant-the man
who is compelled to rent. This they
VIII get, but what is needed and what
we want to see is equal protection to
both the land owners and the ten
ants. Let the law be so constructed
that a tenant may be criminally pros
ecuted if he purposely fails to carry
out contract.
We trust the State press will take
upthe matter and urge the next Leg
lslature to pass an act that will give
equal rights to both landlords and
tenants.
A gentleman who owns Il farm near
Charlotte gave the following inter
view to reporter OF the Charlotte
Chronicle several weeks ago:
The labor question is undoubtedly
the most serious problem confronting
farmers of Mecklenburg county today.

tenant may spend the winter on farm,

Lee and Lorgstreet al High Tide. >

IN exchange i'll writing about Mrs.
Longstreet's new book, titled as
above, says:
The people OF this country will refuse
to be prejudiced against Mrs. Long
streets life OF the "War Horse" Of the
Corfederacy by the suggestion that it is
written in a spirit OF friendliness to the
North. Mrs. Longstreet was born in the
American Union, after the Confederate
struggle had become the Lost Cause !"
OF american history. She evidently has
never known what it was to hate any
thing American. 1t was high patriot
ism, worthy of the opening days OF a
new century, that prompted a young
woman OF the New South to invite a val
orous Union officer to write the intro
duction to the biography of a dead ad-
yersary.
The opening words OF General Sickles'
introduction to Lee and Longstreet at
High Tide happily silence all criticism:
If it be thought strange that should
write a preface to the memoir OF con-
spicuous adversary, | reply that the civil
war is only a memory, its asperltles are
forgotten, both armies were American,
old army friendships have been renewed,
and new army friendships have been
formed among the combatants. The
truth of history is dear to all of us and
the amenities Of chivalrOus manhood are
cherished alike by the North and South,
when justice to either is inv olved.'
Gen. Sickles is one of the most famous
OF the surviving Union officers OF the
civil war He has been prominent in
Democratic politics in New York since
the war. and has suffered much in conse-
guence.
The South will not fall out with Mrs.
Longstreet for defending the great name
she bears, now that the stout warrior is
dead and cannot answer his accusers; Il
magnanimousp people will honor her forit.
