Plain Words to Young Men.

The following aticle is taken from an
an exchange is worthy of being read
and needed by that class to whom it
is addressed the-young: man
Young fellow.
The girl that works at your side if
you don't watch out-will forge
| ahead of you.
Honest, now
Girls are steadier, as Il rule, than
boys. They are more dependable.
They do not loaf They are conscien-
tiOus
They are accommodating. They
have pleasant ways.
The girls do not smoke.
They do not drink.
They do not gamble.
In plain words, the moral charac-
ter of girls, partly because society
holds them to a severe standard, is
higher than that of boys, as rule.
| Is it not so?
Many a young man thinks charac-
| ter is an unimpOrtant factor in busi-
| ness
Don't you make that error.
You cannot, must not, indulge
| bad habits, blow in your money,
keep late hours, dissipate and then
| fancy that because you show up on
time in the morning you will be none
the worse for it,
In the long run you will lose out.
You may be perfectly honest. You
may scOrn to tilch a cent OF money
from your employer But you are
so made that you cannot lose moral
fiber and succeed. You are built
that way.
All about you are the wrecks Of
men who shakes their fists at society
and say they have not had a fair
show Most of them have failed
simply because they have lacked
moral backbone.
| Most failures in business are moral
failures.
ANOTHER thing, young man:
Note how many more girls than
boys are in the high school gradua-
ting classes.
What does that signify?
1t means that the women are to be
the cultured classes in the future.
The boys stop in the grades and go
out to make money. The girls stay
in school and educate themselves.
They do not stop there. Some go
to colleges. Some join clubs and
continue their studies.
Now
Unless present day tendencies ofed-
cation are changed trouble lies ahead
for the men.
Oh, know that we'll educated girl
of yours will think little of this mat
ter when you are first married
and YOU may think nothing of it.,
but the time may come when you
will be notoriously untitled for each
other That way may lie domestic
trouble and divorce.
Get a hump on yourself young
man.
Or the giral will distance you.

there's a Reason"
tAn Ode to Merchants.)


-. Thomas" " in Raleigh Evening Times.
Merchant Johnson s face was haggard: there
was trouble in his eye,
As he gazed out of the windows at the shop
pers passing by:
He had just laid in a splendid stock of goods
and marked them down,
But the shoppers didn't seem to know that
Johnson was in town.
He had done some advertising with brush
and marking pot
On country barns and fences, which would
bring results-he tho t,
He believed that advertising in the papers
didn't pay
Just a scheme to help the pubishers-and
twas money thrown away.
Every day he grew moody, and he swore
with angry frown,
AS lie watched the people hurrying to the
store of Merchant Brown;
But he never stopped to reason that the mer
chant cross the way
Had a catchy advertisement in The Times
every day.
But one evening as he pondered DER his
troubles after tea,
With The Evening Times lying there, neg
lected on his knee,
Came his little boy, shaver Just about ei ght
years OF age,
And with eyes in search of knowledge, gaZed
upon the printed page.
Then he asked his troubled parent. as he gazed
with eager eyes,
Ii the merchants spent their money cause
twas fun to advertise?
Cause you know you told me, Papa, adver-
tising didn't pay,
And | can't see why that merchant wants to
throw his cash away"
Merchant Johnson thought it over-said
he'd try it any way
SO he placed an advertisement in The Even
ing Times next day.
Now you never see him standing in the win
dow cussng Brown,
For he gets his share of business people
know that he's in town!

Trade Territory of a Town.
Mt. Olive Tribune


The trade territory OF Il town is
not all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the ell
terprise of the merchants and the
residents of the town, If a town
does not reach after the trade it will
come only as fast as it has to, and
it will grow as it is forced to. But if
the merchants go after business in
the surrounding country, advertising
in every possible way, trade will
come from an ever increasing radius,
the town will gain a reputation for
being awake and it will forge to the
front 1t is the men in the town and
not altogether the men living within
a certain number of miles from it
that make the town what it is.

The Right Spirit.
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
Let us all get together and pull
hard for Rocky Mount. You haveno
idea what tremendous force it
makes when all pull together IfNou
have an idea that would be valuable
to your city do not keep it, but tell
Us so we may talk to all the people
about it. We want to help you in
every way we can.-Rocky Mount
Echo.
If the people of all the towns ofour
State had for years acted on the
above principle how much better off
those towns would be now. 1t does
seem that the people would learn al
ter a while that what is for the good
of their community, their town or
city, is for the good OF every one OF
the people and that no town or city
can make material progress unless all
the people pull together; that when
there is division or faction ront.n-
tion the progress OF the whole com
munity and the property of each
member thereof is retarded. The
towns in the country which have
made the greatest progress are those
in which the people are united. where
all interests come together and work
for the general good of all. In any
town where you find "a lot OF narrow
minded, selfish business men, each
one working with an eye singl. to his
own interest and afraid to do any
thing for the general public good
there you will find a town that is
making no progress, a town where
stagnation or retrogression is the
rule. Each business man is hurting
himself and his business because he is
afraid that by different course he
| might do some good to his neighbor
or competitor in business. Such men
do not deserve to succeed and they
generally get what is coming to them
because OF this selfishness and mar
row-minded way of doing business
What helps town and brings trade
or any kind OF business to it aids ev-
cry person N that town, and no town
will prosper whose people do not
take this view of business affairs and
also act upon it. There are plenty
OF towns whose people demonstrate
the truth OF this proposition.

Bullet Works Out of Mans Leg
After Carrying it as Years.

Winston Salem, Sept. 9.-To carry
an ounce bullet in his right leg for
forty-six years and then for it to
push its way through the skin is the
strange experience of Mr.. NJ. 7. Mitchell
OF billiard, Stokes county, whose son,
Mr.. n. n. Mitchell, is with the Peoples
National Bank here Mr.. Mitchell
was shot at the battle of Seven
Pines, May 9th, 1862. He was a
member OF Company FL, ,twenty-second
North Carolina Regiment. The
wound healed soon, but the ball was
never extracted, and Mitchell suffered
greatly from it sometimes. Last
Saturday he felt pain just on the
surface of the skin of the right leg
and saw the bullet literally forcing
it's way out, which it actually did a
little later, leaving only a slight
abrasion to mark its course.

POLITICS in
MERCER COUNTY
SOMEBODY SEEMS TO HAVE IT
IN FOR SOMEBODY IN
THAT COUNTY.

Stanton, N. D., May 19.-(Special
Correspondence)-For the first time
in the history of western Mercer
county, meeting was held, as per
call, Saturday evening, May 16, at
the Bowdish school house, to discuss
the political affairs of the county.
Notwithstanding the rush of spring
work is on, there was present a full
house of as intelligent men as could
have been gotten together in any
school district in any of the eastern
states, demonstrating to the hide
bound in the eastern part of the
county that the Spring Creek neigh
borlnood has had more than its pro-
portion of men who are perfectly com
petent to discuss any question before
the meeting, fill any office and most
forcibly set forth that which meets
with their approval as well as that
which meets with their disapproyal
and very modestly ask that they be
recognized in the body polite in Mer.
Ger county.
Herbert J. Roberts was chosen as
chairman of the meeting and James
