The jamestown Exposition is
drawing larger crowds every day
now. Many OF our people have been
and all are agreed that it is a great
show. No one who can possibly at
tend can afford to miss it. Rail-
road rates are low and accommoda-
tiOns in and around Norfolk are rea-
sonable.
Beginning Monday, July 22nd and
continuing for two weeks Mrs. Mis-
silller will sell all Val and other laces
at cost. And when she says cost she
means what the goods cost in New
York, and not cost laid down here.
The ladies know what this means
and will avail themselves of the Op-
pOrtunity to save money on such
articles.
George Rowland, Walter Leonard,
Ransom Duke and Hege Terrell left
on the POcahOntas train Tuesday
morning to visit the jamestown Ex-
position. None of the boys could say
anything definite as to how long
they would be away that depending
entirely upon how long their money
lasts. Their friends look for their
early return
The carnival has come and gone
1t was perhaps above the average
but the community would have been
none the worse off without it. Good
crowds went out each night when the
weather was favorable, but most OF
them remained on the outside and
the show folks say they did not do
much business here. The carnival
company went from here to Green's
boro where they are holding forth
this week

Charlotte and the Building and
Loan Idea.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The announcement in yesterdays
Observer that the subscribed capital
stock of the Mechanics Perpetual
Building and Loan Association now
reaches nearly $2,O00,OOO and that
in consequence the Association has
increased it's authorized capital to
$5,OO0,OOO, possesses a significance
which cannot easily be exaggerated.
1t gives a strong indication of this
community's wealth and how that
wealth was accumulated. The state
ment that Charlotte now has sub
scribed to the shares of her three
splendidly managed building and
loan associations 500 per capita
and has paid in cash toward matur-
irg these shares 81 100000, or $40
per capita, makes it comparatively
easy to accept the further statement
that Charlotte is now not only the
largest building and loan communi-
ty in North Carolina, or the South,
but very probably leads the United
States. Building and loan associa-
tions and banks have been the most
important factors in this city's
making, and the fact that all classes
OF her population have the building
and loan and bank habit is her great
est asset today. A system which,
alike in good times and in bad, ena-
bles the home-seeker to borrow
money at about 3h per cent. net and
pays the largest Or smallest investor
about 6h per cent. tax clear, is mani
testify of the utmost public service.
1t makes powerfully for good citizen
ship, and the men who have educated
the people to its advantages and
conducted its affairs with a lofty
sense of responsibility are public SER
wants greatly to be honored. No
more than an individual does it
avail community to gain wealth,
which takes wings for lack of saving;
neither does community or individu-
al profit largely even by saving when
money saved is stupidity boarded and
thus rendered unproductive. Facto-
ries, churches and schools, as we'll as
homes, grow out of building and
loan associations both directly and
Indirectly. Charlotte is a living
witness of the building and loans
unrivaled value as a city builder;
and she would gladly have all Of her
neighbors, some of whom have han
died the plan without that stirring
up of the people necessary for marked
success, to profit by her example.

Good for Kittrell.

The people of Kittrell asked for a
high school and the privilege of vot-
ing a local tax at an election to be
held on the third of August. They
had raised by private subscriptions
$25O.OO to get in this year. Some
one had to stand for this as the
money had not been collected, and
the Board was not supposed to
know the responsibility OF the par
ties who had signed tbs paper. Five
men stood for the $4,000, deposit
ing an order or guarantee for this
amount-$50.OO each. OF these five
gentlemen three are bachelors and
but one of the married men has a
child of school age. This speaks well
for the men of Kittrell and if evidence
was needed to show that they are
among the best and most public
spirited citizens anywhere this would
he sufficient.

Greensboro Record.

Napoleon once said that God was
on the side of the army OF greatest
number, best generalship and heavi-
est artillery, and the same statement
applies to advertisers. The man who
puts the strongest selling talk into
his advertisement, that drives home
the conviction hard, is the man that's
going to win. Everything operates
in favor of the honest and persistent
advertiser. The public forms its
opinion from the way you present
the goods. Do this concisely and
convincingly, just as if you were
talking with your buyer in the store.
Then you will have made one long
stride toward success. Lord Bacon
once said: ''The secret OF success lies
not in doing many things, but in
doing few things we'll. Advertising
is the vital part of every mercantile
business. do this one thing welp'
and get it before the eyes of your
patrons in the surest and most mex
pensive way possible-in the col
umns of your local newspaper.
