The advertising in clean local
newspaper induces people from the
smaller surrounding communities to
come into town to buy goods. These
visitors become acquainted with the
local institutions, send their children
to finish their education, invest money
and In many ways add to the prosper
Ity Of the town, aside from their actual
merchandising
Outside interests also Judge a town
largely by the kind of newspaper It
supports. If the paper is well made
up with local news natter and its ad-
vertising columns are filed with the
announcement Of merchants, the place
50 put down by capitalists as a pro-
gressive and desirable town for manu-.
featuring and other business develop
Ing purposes. In this it pays the busi-
ness interests to support its local
newspaper.
If an enterprlslng retail man is look
Ing for n new location and finds that
there is little or no advertising by
merchants in his line in town, he
concludes that there Is lack Of enter
prise on the part Of those who are
dealing in his kind OF goods and that
there Is an opening for him to push
his own business, and then there Is
more competition for the nonadvertis-
ing merchant. If, on the other hand,
he finds that the stores which carry
the line Of goods he contemplates
handling are availlng themselves Of
newspaper publicity, be looks in some
other quarter for location.
The right kind OF local newspaper
is constantly advocating measures and
doing things for the advancement Of
the town, not the least Of which is ad-
vertising its advantages to the outside
world. This furnishes another reason
why the home newspaper is deserving
of good advertising patronage, purely
as business proposition.
Another consideration, and 1t Is an
important one, is that practically every
dollar paid out by the merchant for
advertising in his home paper clrcu-
lateS in home channels and eventually
comes back to the advertiser, as the
help employed in n newspaper Office Is
It's greatest item OF expense. In well
established newspaper the subscrip-
tions, foreign advertising and other
outside receipts usually take care OF
the white paper bills and such other
expenses as require money to be sent
away from home.
Finally, the strongest confirmation
Of the general value Of local newspa-
per advertising is found in the fact
that, as n rule, the best advertisers
are the most successful business men,
and the towns which are noted for
liberal local advertising are the grow
ing and most prosperous communities
Of the State.-Northheld (Vt) News.

stationed in the province for the pur-
pose of overawing the peasants who have
shown signs of restlessness. In all parts
of the province peasants have been hold

Hon. Claude A. Swanson addressed
the voters of Roanoke last night in the
Assembly Hall. 1t was evident before
the meeting that it would be most in
teresting incident in State politics, as q

ed there under the auspices of the Roa-
noke Willard Club. 1t was announced
that he would answer the charges, and
the large hall was filed.
Mr.. Swanson said that in fourteen
years of public service this was the first
time his character had ever been be-
smirched. He wanted Mr.. Willard to
answer if he had instigated the paid
article.
The principal charge was that be had
secured increases in the salaries of nine
post-office clerks in his district in the

Surrender of Russians.

Toxic, Aug. 4.-The bulk of the
Russian army on Saghalin Island sur
rendered to the japanese forces on July
81. Among the prisoners who fell into
the hands of the japanese are Governor
Liapnoff, seventy officers and 5000
men. A report has been received which
gives details of the pursuit and final
capture of the Russian force. An indie
pendent cavalry attack on the Russians

port. The enemy was routed and two
field guns and number of rifles were

orously. The Russians halted at Onol,
and at 5 o'clock en- the morning of July

from Gov. Liapnof saying that the in
ability to take care of the wounded
prompted him to ask terms of surrender.

the delivery of all war supplies and
property OF the Russian government,

ing to the Russian civil and military
administration. The surrender Of all
the uninjured was also demanded. The

The Taggart Divorce snit.

Wooster, o., Aug. THE Grace
Taggart who sits in court today under
the gaze of a room full of spectators
while attorneys lay bare the details of
their charges against her, looks another
woman than the Grace Taggart who sat
with her boys at her side at her home on
the eve of the trial. AS if branding
irons these talks of scandal in the army
have laid their marks on her. The lines
have deepeued in her face. Hollows
have come beneath her eyes. From her
cheeks all the color has been blanched in
the two days of this ordeal. The change
is pitiable and the simple black dress
and hat she wears makes only the
more evident these signs of suffering.
"Not a word have | heard against
my wife's name and not one OF
the charges made against her have been
made by me. Not a word will | say
against her," These declarations are
from a remarkable interview with Cap
tain Taggart before the opening of court
today. This is taken as a corrobo-
ration of rumor long in circulation
that the charges against Mrs. Tag
CART were brought by his attorneys
without Captain Taggart's knowledge.
1t has been explained by Captain
Taggart's friends that the ethics
of the service will not permit him
to speak i'll of his wife even after his
separation from her. When he brought
his children here, according to this ex-
PLANTATION, be consulted his attorneys.
They told him the only way to keep
them was by divorce suit with proof
that Mrs. Taggart was not fit person
10 have possession of them. They had
to go ahead to get the evidence without
information with Taggart until after the
suits had been begun. From another
source comes information that Captain
Taggart has refused the pleadings of
his attorneys that he take the stand
against his wife.

Saved by q Rug.

A rug which formed a parachute saved
the life of Mr.. Kate GetiD, yesterday, in
a fall from the fifth floor to a cement
paved yard in New York. Mrs. Getin' $
right arm was broken. She fell out of
the back window of a fiat at l47 Cherry
street into deep, narrow area, crossed
by family clotheslines. A woman living
in the ground floor fat heard thud on
the pavement and saw the corners Of a
rug folding down over Mrs. Getin. who
lay in its center. The swaying of the
clotheslines above showed that the wom-
an had fallen from the fifth to the third
floor without striking any obstruction
until she hit rug which lay spread over
two clotheslines. From that point down.
ward the edges and corners of the rug
had Topped against clOtheslines sufficient
ly to retard the plunge, which otherwise

Two Women,s Drinking Bout.

With request from Captain Taggart $
attorney that the court order Mrs. Tag
CART to permit her husband to see their
two sons, The Taggart divorce hearing
was resumed at Wooster, o., yesterday.
Judge Esson ruled that both parties had
equal rights to the children, though they
were temporarily under the mothers
care.
With the first witness the plaintiff s
side entered upon its direct evidence.
The witness was Howard Taggart, broth
er of the plaintiff. He said he lived
with the Taggarts at Fort Thomas, KY,
from 1898 to 1898. He described visit
of Lieutenant Rither to the Taggart
house, where he had an interview with
Mrs. Taggart in the parlor at 1870 a. m.
while Captain Taggar. was away The
witness discovered Rithers presence, he
said, and the latter hurried away and did
not call again.
A week later Mrs. Taggart handed the
witness an anonymous letter asking him
if he knew the writing. The letter ad-
yised the captain to watch his wife, as
Rither was taking her to resort in New
port. The witness said he never men
toned Rither's early morning call or the
letter to his brother.
Mrs. Taggarts alleged capacity for
beer was given as FIVE glasses at one
sitting, when the witness described
drinking bout between Mrs. Taggart and
another woman The contest was for the
championship of the garrison, the witness
said, and the contestants were backed by
officers. Mrs. Iaggart told him after
wards, the witness said, that the other
woman won the match, drinking nine
goblets of beer to Mrs. Taggart's five.
Howard Taggart also testified that his
sister. in-law drank habituallY with the
officers and prided herself on taking her
whisky straight, laughing at the men for
using water with it. The captain, the
witness said, objected to his wife Civ
ing their sons beer.
The chow the character of Mrs. Tag
CARTS associates, the witness was allowed
to testify that Mrs. Taggart told him
that lieutenant was forced to leave
West Point by his wife's Conduct with
another officer. Long argument on the
competence of such testimony followed.
The court overruled the objection and
Howard Taggart proceeded to relate con-
versation with Mrs. Taggart rejecting
on the POOrs.

Peace Prospects.

Birmingham, England, August A.
The Post states that Sir Mortimer Durand,
the English Ambassador to the United
States, has cabled to Lord LansdOwne
the principal features OF the Russian and
japanese peace terms. The stipulations
made by the opposing nations are of such
nature, the paper declares, that they
have caused the conviction that the
negotiations to bring the war to an end
will be unsuccessful, or else one of the
countries must give way considerably
from the position which has now been
taken. The Post adds that pressure is
being brought to bear upon japan to in
duce her to moderate her demands.

AN ardent devotee of Thomas Jeffer-
son has written letter to the New York
Sun Astounding in admiration of the au-
thor of the Declaration of Independence.
Mr.. Jefferson seems to have had an en-
thusiasm for the city of New Orleans
which time has not wholly justified
He wrote in 1904 that the pc
sition OF New Orleans certainly
destines it TO be the greatest city
the "wOrld has ever seem" That
was AZ error largely due to the fact that
it could not be foTeseeu that railroads
would rival the Mississippi river in trans
portatiOn facilities. Mr.. Jefferson felt
certain that yellow fever could not be-
come devastating plague except in the
crowded districts of cities or in towns
where health protection was overlooked
He was undoubtedly right, and more
than a century ago, while the pestilence
still perplexed the health authorities and
the spread of the poison by mosquitoes
was unsupported, he had long look in
to the future.
