Then it is plain that no matter what
difference may arise over politics, over
the school election, or the numerous
other little trouble makers in the affair
OF every town, the merchant and the
local paper should always cooperate
for more business.
Every merchant who reads this
should follow it up with work to
practical end. He should ask himself
few questions such as these:
Can l not make more money by do
ing my part toward bringing more
people to this town to trade?
Even though am 'sore" att the editor
am 1 not standing IN my own light in
refusing to cooperate with him?
If l assist and encourage the editor
to push the circulation of his paper in
to the northeast district, will it not re-
suit in more of the trade coming to this
town, of which I could get my share?
Retailers associations are educat-
ing the merchant to campaigning for
trade along border lines. The next
thing is to bring the local editor into
camp as an ally.
The merchants of town should do
all they can for the editor. In turn
they should insist that he give them a
bright paper and push it's circulation
into every nook and corner from which
to pull trade. The town which has
the most widely circulating newspaper
has the advantage in the fight for
trade. Circulars ought not to be as
good an advertising medium as the
local paper.
This is straight business. Politics,
school elections, and sensitive natures
should not be mixed in the relations of
the merchant and the editor. There
should be straight business alliance
for more trade. -Commercial Bulletin

The Merchant and His Home Paper

The Merchant and His Home Paper
For the good of the town and profit
to themselves the re1ati ons of the local
editor and the retail merchant in the
average town are not what they should
be.
This is due to a lack of understand
ing by each of the work of the other
Sometimes ignorance is responsible,
sometimes it is prejudice, sometimes it
is case of looking for trouble. The
result is the same. There is too little
cooperation between the editor and the
merchant.
This may be partly due to the fact
that the merchants in many towns are
just learning the lesson of co-opera-
ton among themselves. Just finding
out that fighting their neighbor down
the street is not all there is to success
full merchandising. Just beginning to
learn that there is more to be gained
in bringing more business to the town
than by fighting among themselves for
the trade that naturally comes to it.
On the other hand, editors are fire.
quently narrow in their policy and too
neglectful Of their business. They
| give too much time to politics and too
little to their real business, that of
publishing a paper and giving the
merchants the best possible advertis-
ing medium.
No merchant can enthuse over adj
vertising in poorly printed, poorly
edited, and but partially circulated
paper which fails to bring results.
On the other hand no editor can en-
Enthusiastically work for town whose
merchants are narrow-minded, whose
public spirit is below zero, who are
back biting each other, whose idea of
business is tearing down their compe-
titors. Such men care little for the flu
ture of their town. They are too sell
fish. They do not make successful
business men or successful towns
The local paper and the merchant
are the principal factors in every
town.
On them depends in great degree
whether it shall progress or fall into a
rut.

SOUTH CAROLINA WILL HELP.
Mr.. Dowd Thinks the Outlook foT
Parkers Election is Promising.

Mr.. Willis r. Dowd, of New York,
who has visited several leading cities
IN Mort hand South Carolina at the
instance of the National Democratic
Executive Committee, is at the Var
borough. He has returned from
south Carolina where the Democrats
take deep interest in the appeal of the
National Committee for funds to help
the party IN Indiana and other doubt
lul Northern States. Mr.. powd says
the outlook for the election of Par
her ana Davis is encouraging. Speak
ing or his mission, Mr.. DoWd said:
The South has never been asked
10 contribute before and yet there is
no reason WIN it should not do So
Inc south has certainly had her share,
or more than her share, of prosperity
within the past few years and she
should be ready and willing to take
glad hand in politics when there is
so much at stake
In order that effective work can
be done in the doubtful States there
must be funds. The source of sup
ply in the North can only be counted
from three States-which l consider
safe for Parker and Davis namely,
New York, Delaware and Colorado
There can only be eight States out
side the South where there is a chance
for us, and of these we must try to win
in Indiana, New Jersey, Connecticut
Nebraska and Montana. The South
can, and certainly should, come for
ward and subscribe literally for the
campaign expenses in the States men
toned.
Naturally some will ask how the
money is to be used. Well, there are
many things to be considered, but
among the heaviest expenses are items
for headquarters, clerk hire, printing,
stationery, postage, carriage hire.
bands, torches, fireworks and uniforms
'or parades, signs, banners, buttons,
and Il dozen other things that are all
necessary munitions of war for a
political campaign differs from a war
1nly in the training of the armies and
ne matter of ammunition. The ac-
ual field work REQUIRES a great amount
IF money, for men who give their time
20 the fighting cannot afford to con-
tribute also the money that they must
)ay out for travel and hotel bills.
When election day comes there must
be watchers at the polls and carria-
ges to bring in the voters from dis
lance.
New York, which [ consider safe
will need her men and money at home
IN this fight, and the South must
come to the aid of the party. 1t may
DE said right here, however, that the
Democratic party will not have any
money for a corruption fund. There
will not likely be enough for legiti-
mate expenses and not dollar TO be

GREAT EXHIBIT.
Chloride Calcium Water at the

Mr. Frank c.. Kellams representing
the Mecklenburg Mineral Springs Co..

most attractive booths in Floral Hail
at the Great State Fair. This booth
is the popular retreat OF the most
prominent visitors at the fair, as Mr.
Kellam dispenses freely the wonderful

Of the most prominent people in every
section of the State.
The great majority of these visI-

fetal waters. Numerous remarkable
cures have been effected and the Chic
ride Calcium Spring is said to be the
most valuable property in America
from the standpoint of aiding suffer-

Letter to Geo. n. Walters,

Dear Sir: When you see a we'll
dressed man, you like to say: There's
a sample of my clothes. That man is
worth two of himself as he was when
he came to me-
We have the same feeling. Our paint
on a house is worth twice as much
as old-fashion painters paint, lead
and-oil. 1t looks the same when first
put on. In three months it don't. In
three years it decidedly don't.
Leadand-oil chalks off in three
years: it is considered a first-rate job
that lasts three years
Devoe lead-andzinc is about as good
in three years as it was the day the
painter left it.
Zinc is the secret of it: no secret
at all. A good many painters know
zinc; some mix it in with their lead.
We grind it in: not little: good deal.
It's the zinc and the grinding that
does it. You can't mix zinc by hand.
We grind it in bv machinery.
Painters are finding US out, though
some painters are SLOW.
You know that it pays a good man
to wear good clothes. How many GUS
toners have you that know it?
Yours truly
