suItan,s Ragged Soldiers.

The sultan's army suggests a regu
lar country circus. Every Friday one
may see sample of these monkey
like soldiers at the parade of the Sc
lamlik. which takes place on the Kas
ba square at II a. m. A battalion
marches past in double column and
salutes the governor. who goes from
his palace to the mosque.
All these soldiers are poorly
equipped. Their uniforms have lost
their color and their trousers are too
short, showing their legs, which shine
as if they had been covered with shoe
polish. However, it would be a mis-
take to think that this gang of ragged
ruffians could not stand fight. Fanat-
icism will make heroes of them, for
their contempt of death is absolute.

age Of injustice to the community it.
self. In the first place, some merchant
loses the profit on sale. Not only
that, but the price of the article rep
resents so much of the merchants cap
ital which is tied up in the article and
is not working. Having capital tied
up means that the operations of the
merchunt are curtailed to that extent.
He has that much less to spend; that
much less to pay in salaries to his
clerks; to pay in patronage of the
butcher, the baker and the other pur-
veyors OF the necessities of life; to in
/ vest in property, in newspaper adver-
tising; to deposit in bank where 1t
may be used by other members of the
community, or to devote to church or
charity. The money which goes to the
mail order house decreases the per
capita of circulation in the community:
factor which determines largely the
value OF all goods or property on the
market; the scale of wages and the in
terest on loans.
1t is not hard to trace the effect of
the diversion of money from its legiti-
mate channels. When money is scarce
trade languishes because of the lack
of circulating medium; merchants and
all others curtail expenses; the volume
of trade decreases and nothing re-
stores activity in trade but an increase
from some quarter of the circulating
medium. When the volume of money
increases, trade moves and 1t moves
, as fast as the volume of money will
permit. Money that is working is con-
stantly producing profit to all; money
that is not working produces stagna-
tion in trade.
Accordingly, it is to the interest of
| every member of community to con-
fine his expenditures as nearly as pos
sible to the community in which he
lives. Every dollar he spends at home
/ helps to make his own holdings more
valuable because they are more salable.
When community has money with
which to buy there is little difficulty
to sell and If the money is not divert
ed, it revolves constantly in the finan-
cial circle of the community. earning
a profit for everyone who handles it
and turns 1t over.
Accordingly, the money spent at
home is bearing compound interest for
the community. Its effect is apparent
even to the outsider. Spending money
at home is a species of loyalty which
makes materially for the progress of
The Elbert County tribune., 1907-05-16
TRADING AT HOME
MANY REASONS WHY II is THE
BEST POLICY.
sELF-INTEREsT A BIG FEATURE
That Which Benefits the Community
as Whole Benefits Each lndi-
vidual-The "Why and
WHEREFORE"

AS self-interest is the law which gov
eriis the transactions of trade, 1t is the
first light in which the subject of
Trading at Home" must lie treated
Sentiment has little influence in trade
The prosperity of any community
depends on the volume of business
transacted within it's borders. The
facility with which business can be
transacted depends largely upon the
amount of money in circulation and
any influence which takes money out
of a community is detrimental to the
financial welfare of the community.
II is in this respect that trading with
mail order houses cripples a com
munity. Money which should be kept
in local circulation goes to swell the
volume of money in the distant city
instead of remaining at home to be
turned over and over again as the me-
dunn of transfer among local mer-
chants and their customers.
The effect of this diversion of money
is not confined to the merchants who
lose sales thereby; 1t extends eventu-
allt to every member of the com
munity. 1t is curtailment of business
which affects the value of all property
even to the labor of the man who is
dependent on a days work for his liv-
ing. 1t reacts upon the people who
purchase away from home in degree
which more than offsets any possible
saving in price that may be effected in
tha purchase.
Every dollar sent out of any com
munity for goods which can be pur-
chased at home represents percent

the community II the community is
composed of the sort of people who
spend their money at home it adj
vances rapidly. There is money for
public Improvements, money for new
enterprises. The money which the
loyal man makes at home is invested
at home: the city grows. the streets
are improved and the marks of pros
perity and progress are evident on
every side.
We are wont to Tnveigh against the
wealthy man who makes his money in
one town and invests 1t in another.
We criticize him for want of loyalty
to the community which produced his
wealth and feel that we are done an
injustice by his failure to put his
money in home enterprises which
would increase the business and pros
justified and it holds just as good in
lesser degree to the man who trades
out Of town. 1t is the same offense
on a smaller scale.
The effect of the reverse policy is
promptly seen. The writer has in
mind a notable instance. Two cities
of about $4,000 population each are
situated on opposite sides of river
which is boundary between two
states. Each contains several million
aires who made their money in the
lumber trade in the two towns. The
millionaires of one OF the cities are
putting their money into other indus
tries in the same town as the lumber
ing goes out. AS a result, the town is
rapidly forging to the front; every one
is prosperous. the demand for houses
exceeds the supply; property is valu-
able and every one is working. The
millionaires of the town across the
river are investing their money in
western and southern pine lands. The
town is languishing for lack of money;
new industries cannot start because of
lack of capital; merchants are fail.
ing; stores and houses are being va
Gated: people are moving away and a
general air of poverty and decay per.
vades the place.
Few cities present such strong ex.
amples of the value of money spent at
home but the same principle holr;s
true in every community. 1t is due
The Elbert County tribune., 1907-05-16

every community to reinvest the
money it produces in the community
which produces it.
The chance of being swindled is an
argument used against trading with
the mail order houses. Goods adver-
tised at cut prices often fail to meas
ure up to the description of the adver.
tisement. The few cents which is
saved on the price of an article so
bought is usually sacrificed In the
quality of the article. Buying from the
mail order house is buying blind. A
purchaser never thinks of buying from
home merchant without examining
the goods, but will often send his
money to a mail order house with
blind faith that the article will prove
to be as represented. How often this
faith is misplaced can be proven only
by comparing the goods bought from
mail order houses with the goods of.
fered for sale at home If the mail
order buyer would follow this system
for little while, he would probably
find that the goods offered at home are
of better quality and as good bargains
as the mail order goods, taking quail
ity into consideration. If this pre-
sumption is true, the buyer of mail or
der goods is distinct loser. as he has
secured Inferior goods and has robbed
the community in which he lives, .
well as himself, OF the use of the
money. F. r. SINGLETON.

Hurry" l commanded.
We'll, as l was saying, 1t may seem
strange; but l was just examining the
wall to determine the character of the
work. One of the cottagers on the
lake left me with the job of building a
fence on his place, and I've been ex-
pecting to come over to look at this
all fall. You see, Mr.. Glenarm, your
honored grandfather, was master in
such matters, and l didn't see any
harm in getting the benefit-to put it
so-of his experience"
l laughed. He had denied having
entered the house with so much assur-
ance that 1 had been prepared for
some really plausible explanation of
his interest in the wall

trees, and i made after him at hot

| WHEN TRIED To DO II
Fisher Lost Some Enthusiasm
When Time Came.
FAILURE TO GET $40 HURTS

When Alonzo Fisher. the young col
ored man now confined at the county
Jail. made his second attempt to climb
the flagstaff at the court house Thurs
day afternoon to repair a pulley. both
he and Sheriff Meredith became fright
ened and the pulley is still in as dilap-
idated condition as ever.
Fisher had ascended about half the
length of the pole when the straps
which he was using assist him. in
some manner began baking and he
descended tothe large round ball on the
steeple to which the flagg staff is at
tached. Alonzo then looked down at
the ground and again at the top of the
flag staff. Sheriff Meredith kept his
eyes in "Lonnie's" direction and when
he caught the latter looking TO the
ground. beckoned him to descend. Mer-
edith afterward gave as his reason that
in case some harm came to Fisher. the
county would be held liable for damag-
es. as Fisher is still under the care of
the county Fisher is loath to part with
the SO which had been offered him TO
climb the pole and repair thue flag
staff pulleys. even though he was a
little bit squeamish as to the manner
of earning 1t.
