Carthage Blade.
Suppose every business man in
town took as much interest in the
npbuilding OF the town and forward
ing all public enterprises as the news
paper man. Did you ever stop to
think how much the local paper does
for its home town as compared with
that OF the average citizen? Perhaps
you have not. Maybe you would
appreciate it more if you had He
works for railroads, manufactures,
schools and churches, good streets
and roads; urges, pleads, scolds and
cavorts around generally. Imag-
inc his feelings then when some
lame, stringhalted kind of Il fellow re-
prOaches him because he don't boom
things enough-or worse still if he
does 1T III Il way not to his particular
notion.
1t is not infrequent that news
papers find themselves unappreciated
by the men whom they have favored
by their support, column, after col
umn being published in their favor,
and yet such favors when the test
comes, are unappreciated. When
you find your home paper taking
no interest in you or YOUR success.
when you find it keeping aggrava-
tingly silent when you think the edit
or should be tearing his linen in
your behalf, do not work yourself
into a fever of anxiety as to the
cause, but just ask yourself wherein
have you placed the paper and it's
editor under obligation to use space
and energy for you.
Once upon time cranky sort of
Il man came into this office and stop
ped his paper because something in
it did not suit his fancy We have
frequently met him on the street
since and it is amusing to note the
look of surprise on his face that we
are still in existence regardless of the
fact that he has stopped his paper.
Some day-and it may not be long,
either-that man will turn up his toes.
His heart will be stilled forever.
NeighbOrs and friends will follow his
lifeless clay to the silent city and lay
IL W iilC I1o"tlS All
uary will be published in these col
umns telling what kind father, q
good neighbOr and beloved citizen he
was-which the recording angel will
overlook for charity's sake,-and in
Il very short time he will be forgotten.
AS he lies out there in the cold,
ground wrapped in the silent embrace
OF death, he will never know that the
last kind word spoken of him was by
the editor of that paper which he in
life so spitefully stopped"
Did you ever pause just a moment
and think that your editor, whoever
he may be, will write your obituary
some day? Well, it is a fact. 1t may
may not be this editor who will write
the obituary but this paper will print
the melancholy tidings of yourpass
ing-sOme time.

Two Valuable Assets.
Politeness and Good Manners
Two of the Crowning Virtues
of Life-They Cost Nothing
but Are of Incalculable
Value, to Young People
Especially.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth.

Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
Politeness and good manners are
two of the erowning virtues of life.
They are immensely cheap i'm point
of cost but incalculable in point of
value knowledge and wealth and
social position may he pos
possibility, nay, may he an actual
condition with one, and yet want
of politeness and good manners can
larely negative these things which
ought to be helpful to any and all
who possess them. A young mans
politeness counts much more with
many people than his money or his
college degree, and it ought to. Be
coming behavior under all circum-
stances is a better adOrnment for n
young man or a young woman than
college degrees, fine dress or any ex
ternals which giddy society might
most appreciate We remember how
in the days of our boyhood, a plain
but courtly farmer, whose hands
were hardened with toll and whose
face was burned with the summers
sun, used to tell of the Joy he ex-
perienced in observing the politeness
and good manners of IA certain young
man who was always careful on the
country church yard to speak to
every one in a polite and agreeable
way. This good and pious farmer,
who has long since gone up to re-
ceive his reward, saw nothing so at
tractive in his young man friend as
his politeness and good manners.
To be sure, he was IL strong, manly
fellow in appearance, and was hand
some to look upon; but these quail
ties were all the more striking be-
cause of his politeness and good
manners. An old man was saying
but yesterday that he meets many
young people who seem to have for
gotten, or never to have learned,
how to be polite to older people. Let
all the young remember two of the
browning virtues of all life, and es-
pecially young life. are politeness and
good manners everywhere.

Equalization of Taxes.
Sanford Express.

SuhioiN IA picSs.
There should be some changes
made in the law governing the as
sessments of taxes. This thing has
gone on in slip-shOd way long
enough. We believe that if the fol-
lowing recommendations of the State
board of tax eqalization were incor-
porated into a law the problem would
be solved:
at is the sense of the State board
that there should be in each county
one man whose time shall be devoted
to the assessment of all property and
that his office should not be an elec-
tive one so that he will be free from
any ENHANCEMENT in the way of Obli-
cations to electors or anything of
that kind. 1t is further the sense of
the board that counties should be
grouped into tax districts and the
tax assessor of each county as
above alluded to should be required
to meet i'm committee with his fel-
lows from the other counties in his
tax district, this committee to act as
a whole in adjusting taxes within the
district and then to send up it's re-
port to the State board of tax equal
izatIon the latter to have general
supervision of the whole matter. In
this way valuations, particularly OF
real estate, can be so adjusted that
property of the same character can
be put upon the tax books at the
same valuation all over the State
1t is the belief OF the State board that
this will relieve the State from the
great burden which comes from car,
rying forty-five counties which re-
ceive more from the State treasury
! than they pay into it. The matter
F, is one of the most important before
the North Carolina publ: and the
State board will of course he backed
by Governor Glenn, who is ex-officiG
chairman"

The Value Of Publicity.
Lexington Dispatch.

Lexington Dispatch.
Recently a successful business man
addressed a body of retail dealers on
the value of using the local paper as
a means of reaching the public. We
quote sentences here and there in his
address: 'The local newspaper is
the greatest thing the retailer has If
he will use it right. If merchants as
a class would only take advantage
of the opportunities that the local
newspaper afford, they would reap
rewards far beyond their fondest
dreams Your local editor gives you
back 81 for every dollar you invest
with him. He furnishes you at his
own expense one OF the biggest as
sets youpossess, the medium through
which to let the people know what
you have to sell. If you havefoolish
ideas about the nonproductiveness
of newspaper advertising, throw
them off and try it. One try viii
prove nothing. If it is successful, SO
much the better, but the constant
use of the paper i'll an intelligent
manner will produce results. The
best friend any business man in this
world has, next to his wife, is the To-
cal newspaper, and if he doesn't get
full value for this friendship it is his
fault, not the editors. The editor of
the average so-called country weekly
has done more to upbuild his town
and the retailers in it than all other
influences combined and it also fol-
lows that as an almost unbroken
rule he is the least appreciated per-
son in his community" The speak
er concluded by saying that the
newspaper does not ask for charity,
but stands ready to repay the mer-
chant 500 per cent. on every dollar
properly spent, in advertising.
These things are true. The mer-
chant who doesn't know and refuses
to learn the value of publicity will
sooner or later peter out. The print
ed word goes far. The reach of an
! advertisement cannot be set down in
figures. No money was ever lost in
advertising intelligently, but many a
dollar has been made by it. That
man who has learned the value OF
publicity is the man in every COM
munity who is doing the best bust
| ness.

Raleigh News and Observer.
AS long as a state or a community
sends away the bulk OF its money 1T
can not expect to become prosperous.
The habit of buying abroad and fail
ing to make at home what can be
made at home, and to raise there oil
that can be raised is causing the
communities that have a surplus to
sell to grow richer and richer, while
the ~spendthrift section wears the
shabby clothes.
That this is true no one will gain
say, and there will be a general en-
dorsement given to the advice in
letter of Mr.. H. H. Williams, publish
ed in this weeks Chapel Hill News, in
which in referring to various impress
sions he received while on visit to
New York he has this to say:
Il got another clear impression.
New York is interested in the South.
They wish to know what we are do
ing. Talking in the office of the WaH
Street JOurnaIabOutc conditions here,
| was surprised to find myself quoted
next morning in the two big New
York dailies. | sought the explana-
tion and found it when | counted
ninety cars of melons being rushed
into New York from Georgia. |
looked for something from Orange
county. They told NE that Orange
county did not sell to New York, but
bought many things. Coming home
! passed through Virginia and stop
ped a day, Wherever | found rich
lands, big crops and a bank account.
the explanation in every case was
cattle. Feed cattle and make rich
the land. That is the story. One
man put it this way: i never sell
anything that cam t walk to market ;
Carry this message to Orange coun-
| ty: Raise cattle, make rich the land,
quit sending to Chicago for meat.
And [ told him | would go home and
preach it from the housetops.
The message that Mr.. Williams has
taken to Orange county can well be
read and needed in every section of
North Carolina, not alone with re-
gard to cattle, but changing the
wording little with reference to ev-
erything that will bring back money
to the place from which it is sent. In
the South we pay too little attention
to this. We have grown accustom-
ed to sending off our money to buy
in other sections, in place of having
the money of other sections hunt us
out to buy from us.
"Orange county did not sell to
New York. but bought many things
is true not alone of Orange county,
but of a great majority OF counties
in the South, which do not raise or
make at home many OF the things
which they could easily do for their
own use, and never send off products
of factories, farms are fields to other
sections. 1t is time to change this,
and Mr.. Williams is doing service
to Orange county and to all who hear
his message as he breaches the gos-
pei of raising and making things at
home to sell abroad in place OF al
ways buying, to become IL producer
in place of always being II consumer.

The Negro's Opportunity in The
South.

| Raleigh Times.
Booker T. Washington, notwith-
standing all the fattery and praise
he has received and the honors that
have come to him, still keeps his head
level. Now and then, ofrecent years,
there lave been slight Indications
that he was losing his poise ana GO
ing to make a break that would lose
him the esteem and confidence in
which he is held by the people OF the.
South and which is SO essential for
him to have in the work he is doing.
He has all along maintained that
the South out of her poverty, incl
dent to the war, has treated the
negro generously and afforded him
every opportunity to advance him
self, educationally and industriously.
And he has all along maintained that
the South is the best place for the
negro, that in no other part of the
country are these opportunities open
to him, and aid and sympathy given
him in his struggles as in the South.
This line of thought is suggested
by the recent speech of DR.. Washing
ton in Baltimore. The occasion for
the address was the meeting of the
ninth annual convention of the Ma
tional Negro Business League in that
city. The distinguished colored edu-
Gator is the president of the league
and in his annual address he gave
utterance to the same line Of thought
on these subjects. that has always
characterized his admOnitions to his
people.
Advertent to his address the BaIti-
| more american Star says:
Upon one conclusion he placed
particular emphasis-that better Op-
portunity and better treatment for
the negro are to befound in the South
than in the North, He declared that,
Strange as it may appear to the
uninfOrmed, nevertheless it is true,
the opportunity for industry, for
business, increases as one goes fur
ther South, that negro business ell
terprises are most numerous and
more successful" And while advis-
ing that opportunity for the negro
is to be found with fewer distractions
and lesser encumbrance in the South
than elsewhere, he warned that there
is no section of the earth where 1.-The
world will ever give us something for
nothing" In their efforts to better
themselves he admonished his people
that they must at all times keep
their foot upon the earth and not
yield to the temptation to fly off into
an artificial atmosphere.
There has been more or less gen.
orally prevailing impression that the
door OF business opportunity is more
readily opened to the negro race in
the North than in the South, But
the assurance that this is not the
case, from SO competent authority
upon the question as Booker T.
Washington, must be accepted as
conclusive

Difference in Treatment Accorded
Negroes North and Touth.
Lumberton RobesoniaE

Lumberton RobesoniaI.
1t is Offering no excuse for the
lynching of negroes in the South to
say that the actions of the mob in
Springfield, H., illustrates just the
difference between the North and the
South in handling such things. When
lawless mob gets together in the
South to punish a negro for some
crime it does not mOlest any negro
except the one who is thought to be
guilty, but at almost any place in
the North when a mob starts out to
lynch a negro for a crime it is more
than apt to attempt to kill every
negro within reach and to DESTROY
all negro property. The mob in
Springfield started out to lynch a
negro who had assaulted a white
woman and it burned out the negro
quarters of the town, killed several
negroes and caused nearly every
negro in the town to seek safety else
where. The riot is said to be the re-
suit of years OF racial antagOnism,
the negro population increasing
every year and the insolence OF the
negroes growing unbearable Per-
haps the difference lies in the fact
that the Northern man, as IA rule
thinks OF the negro as race and
wants to punish all for the crime of
one-iust as, for instance, il there
was a large colony of Chinese in n
city in this State there would he IA
tendency in the event an atrocioIIs
crime were committed by one. to
wipe out the entire colony. ANYWAY.
so long as a crime against "a white
womani in the North causes a mob To
work vengeance on the entire negro
population it comes with mighty
poor grace for the people of that sec
ton to lift up their hands in holy
horror and to preach, with that
holier-than-thou air, when a mob III
the South, contents itself with lynch
ing the perpetrator OF the crime
alone.

Fertilize Your Business.
Reading Times.

Reading Times.
The business man who doesn't be-
lieve in advertising belongs in the
same category with the farmer who
doesn't believe in fertilizing the soil.
The husbandman can gather sew
eral successive but constantly dimin-
ishing crops from the same piece of
ground without restoring the life
giving elements of which he robs it,;
but there comes a time when, COM
pletely exhausted, the land refuses to
respond to agricultural entreaty.
The business deprived of the
stimulating influence of publicity
furnishes an apt paralled-gradual
failure, ending in complete paralyis OF
its functions. Advertising, like fer
tilizing, is mighty cheap in proper
ton to the money value of the growth
it promotes.
