Not only in political affairs have
the benefirent effects of newspaper
publicity been demonstrated. but in
other great causes in which the mass
of the people have been vitality in
terested. Through newspaper ex-
pOsure Of their exactions and
expressions the great trusts are
being gradually driven to the wall
and compelled to disclose their I'M
lawful and powerful secrets. The
constituencies and indefensible way in
which railroad rebates have been
manipu lated has been exposed by the
press. while the uncOvering of the
almost phenomenal rottenness of the
great insurance companies has been
primarily its work. No other power
HAS so Stirred public opinion, aroused
the people to demand square deal
and forced public and private plum
ders and grafters to disgorge and
seek well seclusion. 1t is a permanent
revolution, not an ephemeral victory,
and the masses have begun to ap-
preciate it's value and import. With
the power of conscientious newspa-
per press behind them the people will
be inspired to continue their fight
against the enemies of decency and

Attraction Extraordinary.

Mention was made last week Of
Manager Aronson's success in secur-
ing 1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah" for an
appearance at the Grand Theatre
February 18th. This is an attrac-
ton extraordinary and the manage
ment as we'll as the theatre-goers of
Henderson are to be congratulated
upon its coming. The Portland
(Oregon) Evening Telegram OF Nov.
18th, 1907, said this of the play:
There are two or three reasons why
such an Offering as ''The Heir to the
Hoorah" has lived and ought to live for
a long time The book is exceedingly
clever, with real literary orth; its char
acters are neither over nor underdra wn,
and it's situations are natural and in
tensely Jimmy at frequent intervals.
Again, the production bears the stamp
of the late Kirke LaShelle, who lived
long enough to witness it's conspicuous
triumph in the Great White Way. In
the present it is only fair to say that
those who bave not seen a fine and genu-
inc American play, true to Western life
and circumstances in every line and
movement, exploited by capable people,
should see The Heir to the HOorah."

Town Pride.
Gastonia Gazette.

Gastonia Gazette.
Among the many elements neces-
sary to the rapid growth and up
building OF a town there is none
more important than a proper pride
on the part of the citizens of the
town in it's general appearance and
attractiveness. GastOnia now has
we'll paved streets in the business
section, has the prospect of ali early
Inauguration of a free delivery, has
the funds subscribed for handsome
hospital building. and may possibly
at some time in the not distant flu
ture get an appropriation from the
Government for a postoffice building.
All these improvements are things in
which all the citizens take a deep
pride. Yet there are other lines
along which great things could be
done for the benefit of the town, pro-
vided our citizens were properly
organized for the purpose Other
towns less favOrablv circumstanced
than Gastonia have live and active
organizations in the nature of civic
leagues or entassociations
through which the citizens OF these
towns are able to act in concert and
with efficiency and dispatch in all
matters that pertain to their i'm
provement. With such an an organi-
zation, we'll differed and supported
in its efforts by the citizens of the
town as a whole, Gastonia could
make 1908 a year OF even greater
and more substantial progress than
any preceding year Of its history.

Advertising is a Necessity.
New Bern Sun.

New Bern Sun.
The president of the Hampton Ad-
vertising agency, writing in the Edi-
tor and Publisher, predicts good
times ahead and that 1908 will be Il
prosperous year. He makes some
very sensible observations in regard
to advertising, saving among other
things:
advertising is no longer regarded
by the big manufacturing, wholesale
or retail concerns as q luxury, but
as necessity to commercial stability.
1t is a legitimate expense and must
be considered as indispensable in
creating or sustaining a market for
any product.
ut would be foolish man indeed
who would cut off his fire insurance
when a confagration doomed upon
the horizon, or who considered can
ceiling his life insurance when his
health was poor. For exactly the
same reason no wise business man
will long consider cutting off his
business insurance-which is adver-
tising-simply because there is d
little temporary Tightening up OF
things fiancial."
hat, we submit, in all candor and
seriousness, Mr.. Business Man, is
worthy of your careful considera-
ton.

constitutional disease, requires a constitu-

ease, and giving the patient strength by
