WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS

This newspaper takes especial
pleasure in extending the hand of
welcome to the North Carolina
Bar Association now in session
in our city. The membership of
this Association is composed of
many of the first citizens of this
great state and our people are
rejolced to have the honor of their
presence here. It has been aptly
said that "the farmer is the man
who feeds them all" and we
would add that, with the proba-
BILE exception of the press, ''the
lawyer is the man who leads them

Letter To Brooks & Williams.

Dear Sir: 1t is q great thing for q
merchant to have the exclusive sale
(u his region, of course) of anything
wanted by everybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is: put the price up AND
make big profit. The other way is: Il
fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes leas
gallons and costs least money q housed
a job, a year; q lifetfme-no matter how
you reckon your costs, except by the
gallon-Devoe is the best care-takel
and costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part Ot
the cost of paint is putting it o n Less
gallons, less cost. Don't forget thai
another principal Of economy is long
wear; less gallons, less cost and lonl
ear
1t is a great thing to have the exclu'
sive sale Of popular goods, Of goods thai
make friends, of goods that enrich both
buyer and seller. Devoe is perhaps ONLY
ten per cent better than one or two
others; but ten is a plenty-it's 200 o.
800 better than many.
There's many a merchant who hasn'
found-out hfs goods. It doesn't take {
man long to fnd-out that Devoe 10 the
least money paint and why, no matter
which side he 10 or.

nors Jarvis and Aycock and the
present Chief Executive, are I'M
worthy the consideration of any
decent North Carolina democrat.
Not since the days of Vance has
the State had three greater rulers
at the helm than Jarvis, Aycock
and Glenn. The administration
of each of these distinguished
statesmen and democrats has been
characterized by decency, eRcien.

in the effort now making to place
this grand old commonwealth
high up in the list of states in
morality, education and industri-
al interests of whatsoever kind.
The democracy of this State has
already experienced the disastrous
and demoralizing effects of a di-
vision in it's ranks and an unholy
alliance which brought shame and
disgrace upon the people. They
see no cause for alarm at present
either in the administration of the

hypocritical cry of the alarmist
is not going to disturb reasonable
thinking men. Mr.. "Aliquis''
will find that he cannot build up
a strong faction upon opposition
to the organization, or admins
tration alone. He must have
some other excuse for his brazen
effort at launching such a scheme.
He may persist in crying "radi-
calism" and Conservatism" in
the hope of attracting attention,
until the millennium, but unless
he can offer some argument other
than any suggestion presented in
his covert attack in the Observer,
"there will be nothing doing
