THE POWER OF ADVERTISING.

The power OF advertising is told by
a manager of the toilet department
of a large New York department
store. eve have six different makes
OF one toilet article he said, "and
they are near alike in quality and
even experts can't tell the difference
between them, yet we will sell as much
of one as we do of all the Others to-
gether, just because the manufac-
turer is everlastingiy advertising it.
The other five sell in proportion to
the amount of advertising given to
them. If there is any difference in
quality it is in favor OF the poorest
seller. New York Herald.
No name is mentioned but every
reader OF the newspapers and maga'
zines knows that Mennen's talcum
powder is the article referred to
This may not be any better than Other
goods of the kind but by persistent
advertising buyers are made to be-
lieve SO and with the name kept con
stantly before them it is fixed il

detail in the larger plants, are to a
great extent neglected. II the mana

Excerpts from the Durham Herald.

Being as this is a political year the
South should have been expecting it..
The war is over but it is still sup
posed to be popular to rub it into the
South.
If Mr.. Foraker can fool the negroes
by promises so much the easier for
him.
The crowd that does the most hol-
lering does not always count the most
votes.
AS Mr. Aycock is likely to want
something next time he might also
give his reasons.
You can take our word for it that
in this State this fall.
You gentlemen should not forget
that Democracy is what the next
State convention says it is.
We do not know what plans some
of them have made, but he would
like to see them carry them out.
We do not blame Mr.. Simmons for
protecting his job, but he wants to
make sure that he is protecting it.
They may cut down representation
in congress, but political conditions
in the South will remain pretty much
as they are.
We should perhaps give the pro-
hibitionists credit for trying to avoid
all of this fuss by having the legisla-
ture turn the trick.
The amendment will be in force af-
ter this year and we will then see if
educating negro will make Demo
crat out of him.
While all the saints may not be in the
Democratic party we are about to
discover that all in the Democratic
party are not saints.
Mr.. Craig's friends should say moth
ing about dirty politics as long as
their candidate has the support O
the Simmons machine.
All that Mr. Simmons says about il
may be true, but as for our part We
have never given him credit for being
: that much of a patriot.
AS all of the people are not prohi-
bitionists and all the prohibitionists
are not temperance folks, it is hard
to tell just what progress temper
ance is making.
Mr.. Simmons and Mr.. Aycock hat
a right to mix up in it, but the.
should not complain if some othe
people assert their right the next
time it comes around.
o. We do not know what Mr.. Horn
was expecting in the beginning, bu
q he can have no reason for feeling dis
' appointed at the way the thing ha
: been going this week.
: Mr.. Craig has not spent quite al
r the years since his majority workin.
S for the party. Some little portion @
e it has been taken up in trying to ge
D | what he wanted.
b Mr.. Simmons denies that there is

e it is that such men as Glenn an
e Overman are having nothing to d.

e taking such an important part.

it answers it's own question with,
Every likely it Is. !" An honest con-
fession is good for the soul, we are
told, and the Standard is to be com
mended for it's further admission.
perhaps there is more or less injus-
tice toward the negro in the South,
but as general thing Northern peo-
pie have little right to cast stones in
this direction. They would better

An honest newspaper is one OF the
greatest things in civilization. The
New Bedford standard, printed in
one of the Oldest and narrowest
towns in one OF the narrowest and
most aristocratic states in the coun-
try, when it comes to social matters,
has never penned one line about the
disgusting cosmopolitan dinner in
New York, which was, by the way, lit
tie commented upon by the most in
telligent journals of the South and
North. The Standard knows well
enough that in the average Massa-
chusetts town the man who works at
the bench with his hands, wears ready
made clothes and does not hold mem
bership in two or three high-toned
and exclusive clubs that flourish in
every Bay State community, is more
ostracized and slurred by the man
with clean-hands job than the black
man OF the South ever was or will be
by his white contemporaries in the
South 1t would be well if the people
of the Puritanical State of Massachu-
sets, where caste spirit has all the
force of religion with at least 70 per
cent. of even the law-abiding and re-
spectacle population, had few more
good papers equally frank and fear
less with the New Bedford Standard.

Progress Of Education.

Lenoir Topic.
1t is highly gratifying to every cit
izen interested in the educational de-
velopment of the State to note the
rapid improvements in the condi-
tions of public school houses and
equipment within the past few years.
During the past five years 1881
modern public school houses have
been erected in the State, making an
average OF one day, and 16S new
high school buildings in rs counties.
The value OF school property has al
most quadrupled and the special tax
districts have increased from 80 to
625. In this connection it is pleasant
to note that our county board of ed
ucation, at their last meeting, decid-
ed to erect at once three new school
buildings in Caldwell. May the good
work continue to grow.
