Advertising.
Charles Austin Bates.

Charles Austin Bates.
talked the other day with a man
who had failed in the drug business.
He said that he didn't believe that
advertisising Il drug store paid, and
that it was so different from other
business that advertising could not
possibly help it,
He said that his store had been an
exceptionally good one; that the To-
cation was very fair and that the
stock was above reproach. but there
were two other drug stores nearby
which had been there for some time
before he came. The people round
about were acquainted with them,
and to some they were just a little
bit more conveniently situated than
| the new store.
My friend the druggist didn't try
advertising. That is the way he
knows that it does not pay. He
said "People do not realize that
| there is, difference in drugS-that
the paregoric they get in one drug
store is better than that which they
get in another
Advertising would have saved that
mans business. BY advertising he
would have introduced himself to the
people and they would have become
acquainted with him and his store in
that way. BY advertising he could
tell them that there were different
grades of paregoric and that he kept
the best grade; but he didn't try it,
and so he knows positively that ad-
yertiSinr doesn't paw.

Even in the earlier days, when New

too suggestive of the friendship Of
of such gifts to look for something

that large output Of literature in the

the attics and lumber rooms of all fam
lilies of long established residence.
These curious volumes seem to have

a FRENCH NEW YEARS FETE
Interesting Obscrvances Among the

Interesting Observances Among the
Early Inhabitants of Canada
Several entries occur in the private
journal of tho JesuitS. recently pub
lisEed, which throw an interesting light
upon the custom of New Years Oh
servancc in the early days Of the
French regime in Canada and the cor
diality which reigned among the inhab-
itants Of New France
Doubt,cSo "a ,!iC gloomy close OF tie
old regime, when the infamous Bigot
and his licentiOus followers held high
carnival at Quebec, the traditional re-
ligious observances of New Years day
were on the wane. Gambling boodling
and prOfligacy in high places overshad-
owed the land.
In the early January of 1913 Mont
calm wrote TO Chevalier de St Lewis
aprOpoS the fcte of the new year,
Grand souper au palais, j'ai eu CONNIE
de raison la feve, ct Nine. Peau fut ma

a supper, and grand one, took
place that night at the intendants pal
ace. Montcalm drew the magic bean
He was The king, and the fascinating
Nine. Peau was selected as his queen.
When Montcalm speaks Of drawing
the magic bean he refers to festive
ceremony which was observed In Can
ada on New Years day or Epiphany
In town or country it was customary
for old and young to assemble in the
evening and partake in the operation
of cutting the cake Oirer lie gateaW.
The party gathered about a large ta-
BILE and watched the cutting with great
interest, the young people especially
being eager to see who would be the
fortunate recipient of the slice in which
the pea or bean was imbedded. The
lucky ones promptly announce their
discovery. Every sort of jest and COM
pliment was exchanged. The possess
or of the bean was crowned king and
Of the pea queen. and they were treat
ed for the remainder OF the evening
with the homage due to such royal per-
sonages.-Boston Herald.

Our Public Schools.
i'mington Messen. er.

imington Messenger.
The Fayetteville Observer All
ounces that two men of prominence
living in another part of the Stat
have written a citizen OF that city
that they intend to take up their res
idence with their families there in
order to secure the advantage of the
excellent schools Of Fayetteville.
This speaks a great deal for our sis
ter city in the way of advantages for
education of the boys and girls with
in it's borders.
1t is no unusual thing these days
to see the announcement in the pa
pers of thu State that nns, f'.rnf the
rural districts are moving to the
towns in order to secure the better
school facilities for their children.
This shows an awakening on the
part of the country people to the ad-
vantages of better education than
they had in their youth or than the
rural schools now afford.
The progress in education in this
State in the last few years has been
wonderful. While we have not yet
attained to the proficiency in our
schools or the general spread of edu-
cation which is desired or which those
at the head of the new movement are
| determined to see it res still all
such indications of the Increased de-
sire for Il general and liberal educa-
ton of the youth OF the State is
gratifying and encouraging to the
promoters OF more liberal education.
There is another view of this situa-
ton which should be taken. The ru-
raj districts should not be depleted
of their best citizens for the sake of
securing better education for the
coming generation. That this is go
ing on shows the defect of our sys-
TEN of public education as we'll as the
more gratifying fact that the country
people have awakened to the great
Importance of better education of
their children than the country
schools afford.
We should have a system of public
schools which will take the schools to
the country people and not force
them to give up their rural homes to
seek those advantages in the towns
and cities. This though is the fault
of circumstances and the outcome OF
the eimpoverishment of our State.
The people of the rural districts,
those who cannot move their fami-
lies to towns in order to secure this
better education for their children
have awakened to the Importance OF
improving the schools that they
have and have in almost every case
where the question was raised shown
their Willingness to place heavier
burdens of taxation upon them
solves in order to secure these I'd
vantages at their homes. Wonderful
has been the progress of the idea OF
education in our State in the last few
years and the movement is yet in its
infancy. What the people want and
what the State needs is better rural
schools rather than more high
schools and graded schools in the
towns and cities. Give the farmers
and farm laborers opportunity tc
send their children to good schools
at their homes. Do not force then
to leave the farm and the workshop
in order to give their offspring the
education that they wish them tC
have. The oldfield school, improved
upon and enlarged is what is needed
to give North Carolina the best ru
rul population-the best of all people
OF any State in the Union.

Retired-the Old Year,

The old year is IL soldier brave.
Whose march is ended now.
His cloak is rent with wind and storm
Their scars are on his brow.
He started out slender boy
With youthful fervor fired.
But that was twelve long months ago
And now he is retired.
The frost is white upon his beard:
The snow is on his head
He wore a plume of daffodils;
The GaffodilS are dead.
The eagle eye. the fearless step.
The graces We admired
Are far behind him on the road
The old year is retired.
The new year came young recruit
At midnight's silver chime
And fell in line to shoulder arms
And march with Father Time
Our true and faithful comrades term
OF service has expired
Salute him as he passes out
The veteran is retired.

as much loved and admired as those
two guide stars in our political fir
mament-that is to say, if the "rOta

of our sapient legislators and they
give way to the opportunities of the
aspirants for the plum that tempts
heir appetite for place.
Both our Senator's are young men
but ambitious and brainy, one is
eminently wise AMI sagaciOus. the
other is eminentlv brilliant and able.
One has already commanded the ears
IF listening Senators, the other has
vet to flash his maiden sword. but
his personality is attractive and
commanding and much is expected
nf him. Both are Eastern Carolina

county and the other tracing his
lineage to the Albemarle section. We
of the East are proud of them as
brainv men and as vindirating the
claim of the black belt of North Car
lima to be land of beautiful and ac-
complised women and brave and
able men,
God bless our Senator's. May they
live long and prosper. And may they
stay long to adorn the places in the

may they wear the Senatorial toga
