Riaht Kind Of Advertising.

Not long since in a western town
of some 1000 population the mer-
chants had an illustration of what can
be done by judicious advertising. The
proprietor of clothing and dry goods
store decided that he would add a
grocery department. This was met
with the disapproval of other mer-
chants in the town, particularly the
grocers. They combined and COM
menced an advertising campaign d.
rected chiefly against him. Small
space was used. They were greatly
surprised one morning to find that the
object of their attention had in the
daily paper four-page advertisement.
They were further surprised when the
weeklies of the surrounding towns
came out with one and two-page ad-
vertisements, offering wonderful bar
gains and to pay the railroad fare of
those who would purchase a certain
amount of goods. For miles around
the town large posters announced the
great sale. Other merchants of the
town looked upon the venture as fool
ish, and predicted that there was
something wrong, failure or fire in
sight. Neither happened. but In two
weeks time the enterprising store
keeper, who advertised to sell %
pounds of granulated sugar for dol
lar, when the jobbing price was more
than FIVE dollars hundred, provided
the purchaser ordered other goods. did
q business amounting to more than
$4,000, or as much business as the
average small storekeeper does In a
year. Not alone that. but he is still
doing the biggest business In the town.
He advertised rightly.

Old Stone Church Memorials.

At the annual meeting of the Old
Stone Church and Cemetery Associa-
ton on the 18th of October, 1908, a
resolution was adopted, instructing
committee to prepare a memorial
to be spread upon the minutes of the
association of J. j. Lewis, our late
president, who died and was laid to
rest in the cemetery since our last
meeting.
The committee does not deem it
necessary to write a eulogy of Mr..
Lewis, as his friends were numbered
only by his acquaintances. He was
born within one mile of this old
church and lived in Pickens county
all his long life. He was a charter
N emDer of this association, and was
jealous in his duties to same, and
served as its president for ten years.
A Christian gentleman of the old
school, Mr.. Lewis was an elder in
the Presbyterian church at Pickeus
for number Of years and was faith
full and true in all duties, both in
public and private life. He died Au-
gust II, 1908, aged II years.

AGAIN THE SQEEZE PLAY

Says the Richmond News Lead
err: Where is the sense in Wall
steet trying to throw a new scare
into the country about the elect
Ion Of Bryant We are told that
brokers and fnanciers are insur-
ing In the Lloyds against smash
IN the event of Bryan's election.
This is nonsense. The conditions
are very different from these of
1885. Nobody is suggesting now
any measure that would depreciate
the currency or injure the coun-
try's credit. Mr.. Bryan is not
urging any reforms or changes
more extreme than those repre-
sented by Mr.. Roosevelt and to
which the country has become ac-
customed. We believe the busl-
ness men If the whole Union will
resent this attempt of Wall street
to dictate to them, to interfere
with them, to hold over them the
threat of disaster in the event of
political results.
If Bryan is beaten it will be on
the merits of the policies he rep
resents as compared with those Of
Mr.. Taft and on the country's
judgment of the qualities Of the
two men. The people have sense
enough to know that business
scare has no reason behind IL.
They know that if MIR. Bryan was
President with Democratic house
of representatives nothing could
be done to harm any Legitimate en-
terprise or tc cause any revolution
or serious disturbances in our
commercial methods and policies.
The scare business won't work

John w. Kern of Royal Lineage

John Worth Kern, Democratic
candidate for Vice-presideEt can
trace his ancestry back in a direct
line to Robert Bruce, the Rhetoric
King of Scotland.
Mrs. Sallle Engle, his only sis
ter, who lives at the old Kern home
near Roanoke, IN an interview
traced the genealogy of her fami-
ly in an unbroken line back to the
days when Bruce defeated the
English at Bannockburn. The
family came from Scotland also on
the mothers side.
Something of the etaunch Demo
cratic blood that flows in John
Worth Kern's veins may be noted
from all incident related by Mrs.
Engle regarding her father, DR..
Jacob Kern, who on the day of
the election in which Grover
Cleveland was candidate for the
Presidency for the first time, rode
q horse five miles to Cloverdale,
where, missing his train. he walk
ed ten miles, the balance of the
distance, into Roanoke, in order
to learn the result. He pushed
his way through a snow storm,
having abandoned his horse be-
cause of fear of riding the young
and skittish animal in the night
in such weather. The doctor al
ways said that he was never better
paid for journey.

Model 1ax-Paying Town

The Staunton Leader published
the following astonishing editorial
article few days sgo:
"SOme days ago the Leader
noted the fact that Ci.y-Collector
J. Mod. McCue had collected the
taxes on every piece of real estate
ia Staunton, and in his report had
not returned a single delinquent
ticket against real estate. In al
dition to this, the Leader man, in
looking over the delinquent list
yesterday, at the city clerks
office, found another fact well
worthy of comment. 1t is this,
that of oil the personsl property
assessed in the city for the last
fiscal year the delinquent State
tax tickets aggregate only $4,000.
The natural deduction is that
Staunton either has mighty good
collector or her people are abEor-
mally prompt in paying their taxes,
and in either case the showing is
one which few cities of Staunton's
population can boast"

According to estimates of Demo

full. The Middle West and the

members of the National Demo-

claimed the solid South for the
Democracy, added Oklahoma's z
new electoral votes, the IL from
Indiana and 3 from Nevada, and
agreed that Bryan and Kern will
not receive fewer than 1874 electOr-
al votes in the November election.

by three representative national
committeeman. is accepted as the
framework upon which the Demo.
cratic campaign will be woven:

JOHN W.KERN,S FELICITOUS
SPEECH

The Indianapolis News, July 16:
Mr.. Kern's unusual gift of telic-
itous extemporaneous speech never
stood him in better stead than last
night in responding to the cordial
speech of welcome Of Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks and in acknowledge
ing his appreciation of the fatter-
ing non-partisan demonstration
that marked his homecoming. No
better expression Of our common
patriotism in the midst of political
differences, of ouI union of afec-
ton and neighborliness in spite of
any and all contention as to the
best way of conducting the Cover
ment, could be given than iu the
following paragraph of Mr.. Kern's
altogether admirable speech:
How small is the man who will
stop In campaign time, or any 9TH
er time, to quarrel with his neigh
Dor because that reighbor, In his
right of citizenship, differs from
him as to the best method of gov
erment The true American feeling
is manifest here tonight. Our
children must play together in the
years to come whether We are
Democrats or Republicans. They
will Intermarry. they will rear
families. Their lots will be cast to-
getner they will all be Interested |
alike in promoting the welfare, the
honor ard the glory of this mighty |
republic, and, this being 80, why
will men qnarrel because they can
not agree? Let US yield to our
neighbor that liberty of conscience
which we claim for ourselves and
continue to be friends and broth
ers, differing as we may in politics
but consclentiously keeping in
constant mind that whether
Democrats or Republicans, We all
owe the So me allegiance, the same
loyalty, the same love to that
grand old starry banner which is
the emblem of this, the mightiest
nation beneath the sun"
