Newspapers Compared With Hand Bills.

A newspaper has 5000 readers
for each 1000 subscribers. A
Merchant who puts out /. 900 hand
bills gets possibly 300 to 400 peo-
pie to read-that is if the boy who
is trusted to distribute them does
not chuck them under the side
walk. The handbills cost as much
as half column advertisement in
the home paper. All the women
and girls and half the men and
boys read the advertisements. Re-
sults-the merchant who uses the
newspaper has $500 more readers
to each 600 of the papers read
ers. There is no estimating the
amount of business that adver.
tising does bring to merchant
but each dollar invested in adver.
tising brings to the investor
somewhere from 500 to 800 worth
of business.-Hlckory Democrat.

the broken hearted mothers, we

A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.
The Old Question Concerning States Right
to Secede Discussed.

There has been running latel,
in The Atlantic Monthly series
"The Spirit of Old West Point,
by Morris Schaff. The eighteenth
chapter treats of the instruction
there in the Interpretation of th'
constitution, the text book on thil
subject for a long period after tht
adoption of that instrument hav'
Ing been the treatise by William
Rawie, of Philadelphia. The doc.
trine OF State sovereignty, we are
told in this chapter, was dominant
at West Point prior to the civil
war, as a result presumably of the
teaching of Rawle, who asserted
the right of ofsecession, which "dog-
ma"-we quote from Schaff-
prevailed, and it may be said, :"
was ''generally unchallenged at
the adoption of the constitution. !"
The magazine writer takes these
sentiments from Rawie who, it is
said, maintained, "without quail
fcation," that "It depends Oh the
State itself to retain or abolish
tie principle of representation,
because it depends on itself wheth-
er it will continue a member Of
the Union. To deny this right
would be inconsistent with the
priciple on which all our political
systems are founded, which is,
that the people have in all cases a
right to determine how they will
be governed The States then
may wholly withdraw from the
Union. :. The secession of a
State from the Union depends on
the will of the people of such
State"
But what we have chiefly in
mind is this foot-note from chap
ter eighteen of Mr.. Schaf's con-
tribution:
ION July 1st, 1886. Jefferson
Davis wrote to Hon. R T. Ben
nett, late colonel of the thirteenth
North Caroliny Infantry, judge
of the Superior Court of North
Carolina, and the CoLfederacy's
calmest yet most profoundly elo-
quent memorialist, 'Rawle on the
Constitution was the text book at
West Point, but when the class of
which I was member entered the
graduating year Kent's Commen-
taries were introduced as the text
book on the Constitution and In
ternational Law (See Southern
Historical Society Papers, vol.
xxi. p. $751;"
North Carolinians will read this
with pleasure. To characterize
Judge Bennett as "the Confeder-
acy's calmest yet most profoundly
eloquent memorialist" is to pay
that distinguished gentleman a
very distinguished compliment

WILL RESENT INTERFERENCE,
North CroIina Will Give a Solar Piexus Blow
to the National Liquor Dealers Association.

Several liquor dealers Of th
State met in Wilmington Monda,
to perfect a State organization O
the liquor dealers. which, acting
in concert with The National Ii
quor Dealers Association, vii
furnish campaign literature an6
speakers to fight State prohibition
in the coming election, May Goth
Liquor dealers from Salisbury
Winston, Rocky Mount and Other
towns were present.
The chief campaign arguments of
the liquor dealers will be, (1) that
prohibition does not prohibit ;
and ~ that this election will not
effect present prohibition terri
tory in the State.
If prohibition does not prohibit
then why should the National
Liquor Dealers Association be
concerned. The fact that they
will furnish money, liquor, liter
ature and orators for the cam
paign is the best evidence that
prohibition does prohibit and that
State prohibition will the more
prohibit the liquor traffic IN the
State.
Second. If the great majority
of the people in the State want
State prohibition as the election
will fully demonstrate, why will
not every section of the State
(whether wet or dry now) be af-
fccted alike by the election and
State prohibition will prevail. If
the Legislature wisely left State
prohibition to vote of the people
regardless of any political differ
ences, have not the people a right
to settle the question of State pro-
hibitlon by their votes? And
who shall question their right to
do SO? Shall a National Liquor
Dealers Association outside the
State question the right of the
people of North Carolina to vote
their State for prohibition and
yet argue that prohibition does
not prohibit?
When did North Carolina give
to the National Liquor Dealers
Association the right to say
whether its Legislature should
submit a State prohibition law to
it's own people and yet reserve the
right to prohibition territory to
its peoplel This campaign will
be simply the National Liquor
Dealers Associations campaign.
The Wilmington Messenger, which
is fighting State prohibition states
that "the State Liquor Dealers
Association which it is understood
will become affiliated with The
National Association for the
purpose of fighting against the
present prohibition movement in
North Carolina" practically ad-
m1ts as much and the people of
the State will sec to it that The
National Liquor Dealers Assocla-
tion gets solar plexus May Goth,
