home merchant answering
nothing as lawyer would
say, 1.-The judgment goes by de-
fault" and the catalog receives
the order.
To abuse or blam the people
for this state of fairs won't do;
neither will it mend the matter
to tell them, as many newspa,
pers do, that they fought to
spend their money at home" In
answer to all this the Catolog
customer can inform you that
be is only doing what his home
merchant is doing, buying his
goods in the North, and that as
the cost of the goods must go
there anyway, be had just as
we'll have the profits in his
pocket as for his home merchant
to get them. This is the way
the buyer sees it, and VINO from
strictly commercial standpoint
can say that be is wrong:
Truly, advertising has made
the catalogue houses, and this
alone, and in the right way,
will meet them. Speaking of
what they spend in this direc-
ton, a recent copy of The Dry
goodsman, says that one Chica-
go mail order house doing a
business last year OF twenty
millions, spent FIVE millions OF
it in advertising alone. Think
you they are doing this just to
"help the poor printer" Not
much.
Just Sh0U the catalog custo
mer that he can do as we'll at
home; that he can obtain the
same quality at the same price
with freight added, and you can
even add ten per cent on that
figure and you will get his trade
every time. There is no better
way to get this information to
him than through the local
newspaper. Try it.

This is a very dangerous dis

Statistics show that there are

tanned its own since the day OF
Adam S grand daughters. The
effects of it so graphically told in
Oliver Goldsmith's book, "The
Vicar of Wakefield" have fol-
lowed from the very beginning
of things and will no doubt con,
tinue, despite all that may be
said against the evil, until time
shall be no more. Our friend,
Mays, of the Brentwood Bull
letin, is moved to comment on
this condition of things as it pre-
walls in his town and in doing so
he but shows poor weak numan
nature everywhere. The Bulletin
says:
There are hundreds Of peo-

able now and for time to come,
just trying to keep up with
other folks. The town is going
to an extreme on society, and
it seems to have hit both the old
and young. There are club
meetings and receptions until it
almost makes one dizzy to keep
up with them, and if you do not
try, you risk being regarded as
a nobody. All these things cost
money, and more money than
most of the people are able to
afford. OF course if you feel
that you are financially able to
indulge in these Injuries, and
you really enjoy spending your
time in that way, that is your
own affair and you are entitled
to all the enjoyment you can get
out of it, but this article is writ
ten to urge those who feel that
they cannot afford such things,
either from standpoint of f.
nance or time, not to attempt it,
and thus cause heartaches in the
home which time will never
cure. Do not allow the thought
once to enter your mind that you
have to fly as high as any one
else to have as good a time, and
be sure while you are soaring
that you have due regard to the
manner in which you may have
to light. There are some fam
lilies in this town who need to
talk over this matter in the
home, wives with their hus
bands, daughters with their
parents, before those homes are
wrecked in the vain effort of try
ing to keep up"

FIGHTING CATALOG HOUSES.

j u
Early in the spring persis-
tent campaign was entered upon
by many of the country news
papers against the practice of
many people, particularly west
ern folks, of sending off to
Chicago or other catalog houses
for goods that could be bad at
home. People who did this
were given a looking glass to
see emSelves in which, to say
the least. was far from being
tiattering to them. AS only one
side of the question was given,
that of the local dealer, it led
The News to remark in its issue
of April y. that there was an
other side TO look at and that it
would at an early date endeav-
or to show some of it. Before
The News reached it, however,
our esteemed nabor at Amarillo,
The Herald, got the track we
had III view took the words
out of our mouth" it NAV be
said-and lay the main fault
where it largely belongs-at the
door of the local dealer.
AS the Herald truthfully says,
advertising has made the trade
of the catalog houses, and the
non use or incorrect use of this
very potent and all powerful
business weapon by the local
man has contributed more than
anything else to lose him this
trade.
Prior 70 the time when Benz.
Franklin established the Satur-
day Evening Post, newspaper
advertising was practically un-
known. The same may also be
said of catalogs and dodgers.
In those days in the big centers,
the trades collected in guilds
and cried their wares as is now
done in the baZaars Of the
Orient and ia the market places
of some of the less enlightened
European countries. In Frank
Inns time, even the people OF this
country read but little; the abil-
ity even to read was at such a
premium that criminals were
often spared under "benefit OF
clergy" that they might become
clerks. How changed are the
conditions now as to then.
Books, catalogs, and especial
ly newspapers are everywhere,
and almost everybody from a
ten year old child up reads them.
II is in the home where almost
all this reading is done and it
is right here where the mail or.
der houses get in their best
work through their catalogs
and circulars. These firms talk
quality and prices and of blind
ing guarantees" on things that
every householder must have
and thus get them interested.
Getting them interested, the
catalog informs them that their
home merchant can't begin to
meet the prices quoted" that
they are Wholesale" and the

GREAT MINE DISAS TER
GOVERNOR ORDERS C0MPIsETE IN-
 VEsTIGATIONs
Inspector Gray, Who ia at Scene of Alabama HOrEor, VIII Send iB Detailed Report of
 Catastrophe.

Acting Governor Cunningham yes- terday Issued an order to State Mine Inspector J. w. Gray to make thor ouGh investigation of the deplorable disaster at Virginia Mines of Monday afternoon whereby over one hundred miners lost their lives.
 The Mine inspector is instructed to make careful examination of the causes which led up to the explosion and report them in full to the Govern or. Mir. Gray has already proceeded to investigate the calamity, rushing to the scene soon after the news of the explosion was spread.
 The Governor said yesterday that the Virginia Mines disaster is to be classed as the greatest mining acci- dent in the history of Alabama. The deepest sympathy of the Governor goes out to the grief-stricken families who are left by the entombed miners,
 Tt is a sad story" said the Governor yesterday afternoon, land the horrors of disaster of that kind are incon- ceivab1e. Yet such things will happen in spite of the precautions of science that are supposed to guafd against them.
 Tt seems to be almost certain that all the unfortunates who were buried in the mines are dead for those who were not crushed or killed by the force of the explosion most likely died by asphyxlatlon. The After-da1np that followed the explosion Is fatal to all who breathe it."
 The Governor has had a good deal of experience with victims of mine acci- dents. as he was for a long period prIs- on physician for the State at Pratt City.
