Very True.

A gentleman said to a reporter
the other evening: Il never took
a paper in my life that didn't pay
me more than the original cost.
A friend of mine started a paper
away down South and sent me a
copy. / subscribed for it
just to encourage him. After while
it published a notice of an order to
sell a lot at auction, and | ordered
my friend to run it up to $50. He
bid it in for me ut S2S and within
a month / sold it for 800. SO /
made s62 by taking that paper.
My father told me that when hc
was young man lie saw a notice
in a paper that n school teacher
was wanted in a distant town and
he went there and got the school
A little girl was sent u the school
ard after a while she er,w Up sweet
and beautiful and hc married her.
Now if he hadn't taken that paper
what do you suppose would have
become of me? | would have been
some other fellow, or maybe |
wouldn't have been at all.-Boon-

Coming Cotton Report.

STAFF Correspondent Sc, Orleans Timcs-Demo-
crnt.
Washington, sept. S-Thc clerks
IN the Census Office are hard at
work on the reports Of the special
agents who for the past six days
have been ut work collecting the re
port OF the number If bale. Of cot
ton ginned 10 Sept, j. The totals
from each county came in last
night by wire, the agent at the
same time mailing the cards repre-
senting the ginncrics IN his district
This IS a new feature, and Will en-
able the office To make a fairly ac-
curate report of the cotton ginncd
several days before it could ice done
otherwise.
Last season quite number Of
ginners refused to give reports, but
it is not probable that this will be
the ease this season. There are
said to be two reasons for this, one
of which il that the office has de
tcrmincd to prosecute those ginncrs
who refuse to give information to
the special agents, and the other is
that is at a good price. A. long ms
the price of cotton remains up, few
ginners object To giving out the re-
port, but it is alleged that the mo-
ment it starts down, dissatisfaction
is manifested and the ginner gets
grouchy and thinks the government
Is III league with the cotton
bears. As long as the price is fav-
orable to the ginners there is little
likelihood of any refusing to give
the reports
The penalty prescribed for those
refusing To report Is severe, the fol-
lowing being the law ON the subject:

rotary, director, agent or other off

makes the following reference TO
Senator Mcl.aurin : vote in upposi-
ton to the Panama canal route:
When United States senator An
sclm J McLaurin, of Mississippi.
voted against the Panama canal
route few men of the South. es-
pccially in New Orleans and on the
Mississippi coast. were disposed to
criticise his action, but now that it
i certain that the yellow fever ex-
listing in the Crescent City and Mis-
siSsippi coast towns was spread by
workmcn returning from the isth-
mus. il il presumed that those Who
were wont to criticise Senator Nc
Laurin will recognize that had he
had his way, there would q DOW,
be any yellow fever in the South,
and a canal connecting the two
oceans would be well under way.

and in favor of the Nicarauga route,

EXPLAINS SCIENCE OF
ALL MODERN BUSINESS
Prof. A. F. Sheldon Addresses Mem
bers of Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association

Selling is an art. Underneath that
art is a science. which is the science
of salesmanship."
business building and business get
ting"
you can't keep a good man down.
and no one really wants to. Cream will
rise to the top in obedience to natural
law"
Business life is not recognized as
professional today simply because
there has been no science of business;
it had been a haphazard occupation"
''The human windmills, the verbal
cyclones and the human talking ma
chimes are out of date in the profess
sion of selling. What is wanted in
selling goods is not words, words
words, but points, points, points, and
straight to the minds or souls of men,"
"Judcious advertising is the fire
under the boilers of business the thing
that makes things warm"
Those are few of the epigrammatic
points presented by Prof A. F. Shell,
don of Chicago, founder of the "Shel
don School of Scientific Salesmanship,"
last night at Steinway hall before the
members of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association.
The subject was "The Science of
Modern Business Building" under the
heads of making and selling The
lecturer said:' 1.-The statesmen of the
world are the commercial institutions,
great or small. Each is a composite
salesman, and everyone from the presi-
dent down to the Office boy is part
of the institution. The object of the
institution as a whole is the sale of
goods at a profit, and the spirit of
pulling together must exist in order to
attain success. Character, health and
power of character reading are indis-
pensable attributes.
System, order, practical knowledge
of psychology, and faith are also ele-
