Mr.. George Bryne. in the Manufac-
Turers' Record OF recent date, says:
'In North Carolina the evidences
of ability for progress abound on
every hand. The cotton mills of the
State have increased in number until
they consume more OF the staple than
the farmers OF the State produce.
More than n hundred furniture fac
tories are engaged in working up ma
tive woods, into finished product,
rapidly making the State a formid-
able rival of Michigan. Great lum-
ber concerns are telling the forests
and employing thousands of men in
cutting up the product. and the
money paid for the timber is being
used in draining the swamps and ad-
ding thousands OF acres Of the most
fertile soil to the productive power OF
the commonwealth. The trucking
farms. the vineyards. the orchards,
the water power now utilized and to
be utilized-these things all bear a
part in writing large the assurance
Of enduring prosperity for the Old
North State"

Mr.. Joseph G. Brown, president OF
the Citizens National Bank Of Raj
eigh, has contributed to the Bank
Advertiser an article which is re-
printed in American Banker, devoted
to the subject of newspaper adver-
tising which will be of interest to all
newspaper men. The article is ex-
haustive, in u sense, and would make
two Or more columns of newspaper
matter, the writer citing some con-
crete instances which have come
under his own observation, where
bankers have profited through the
judicious and constant use Of prin-
ter's use We direct attention to the
three concluding paragraphs OF Mr..
Browns article:

ment. He has always something to say
and they have become interested in his
tisements-interested enough to
talk about him and his advertisements.
BE like him: look upon your advertising
as an investment; plan it carefully
iudiciously and thoughtfulIy; and then
regard the business you get from it as
the surplus. No investment in the world
pays like good advertising. Continually
cultivating the crop in the season makes
bounteous harvest possible. Cultivate
good advertising and get harvest ol
deposits.
The fact that the newspapers which
contain the most advertisements are the
papers that cell the best, il proof posi-
tive that newspaper advertising is the
kind that pays. and the sort Of adver.
tising matter that the people pay to
read. You reach intelligent people
through the newspapers because The
newspapers are the educators OF The
masses. People who do not read them
are those who do not place their deposits
in the banks.
The banker depends for his patronage
upon people who are thinkers; therefore
an intelligent advertisement will set in

The Curious Case Of Hobson.
Atlanta Constitution.

+NttdHtd
Richmond Person Hobson is at
least one of the new members of con-
gress-a man, too, OF a single idea
who is rot disappointed over his com.
mittee assignment. tits unusual to
place brand new congressman on
an important committee. unless he
is fatty recognized as possessing un-
usual qualifications for service.
This fact, then, must have been
back OF Speaker Cannon's assign
ment of Mr. Hobson to the comit-
tee on naval affairs, one OF the most
important in the house organization,
and one in which he will be free to
pursue the subject which has become
an obsession with him.
Ridicule is the strongest foe to
popularity and to effectiveness in
public life. Hobson had to labor
hard to live down the kissing bug
Joke, which made him q target for
humorous press cynics. and he
would. not have succeeded il his
constituents and the country at
large had not recognized in him
manlier and sturdier qualities than
those of a petty campaign spell
binder and a boudoir captain.
Hobson has had another strenuous
battle to make the country take seri-
ously his stupdendous naval dream.
He has preached a big navy in and
out of season, with a pertinacity
and a fervor that lead him to being
dubbed "Billion Dollar Hobson.'
Logically. when he presented him
self for duty in the new congress he
should have been assigned to some
trivial committee. The men who
run Uncle Sans big body of law
makers have highly developed ca
pacity in separating a mans preten-
sions and bluster from his real caliber,
SO that beneath their cold analysis
the chaff which has fooled the public
sometimes falls away and he stands
out for exactly what. he is.
The process seems to have been ap-
piled in the case of Hobson. What
ever gigantic folly John Sharp Will
liams and Speaker Cannon saw con-
cealed in the ex-lieutenant's naval
scheme, they also saw the man OF
earnestness. conviction and ability
So Mr.. Williams nominated and
Speaker Cannon approved the nomi-
nation of Hobson to place on the
naval affairs committee. 1t is high
tribute, coming from these keenly
analytical men. Hobson has every
right to congratulate himself on his
congressional debut.

Seaboard Receivership.

Portsmouth Star Takes A Hopeful
View Of the Situation Does
Not Believe Putting Affairs Of
the Road in Hands Of Receivers
Win Have Other Than Good Ef-
feet Upon All Interests Con-
cerned-Court Chooses Well in
Messrs. Williams and Warfield.
Probably no town or city is more
interested in the affairs of the Sea-
board Air Line than Portsmouth, Va.
1t is extremely gratifying to see the
editor OF the tardiscourse as follows:
Here in Portsmouth, where the Sea-
board Air Lines headquarters have
been located since it consisted OF a
single line OF road from Portsmouth
to Weldon, the recent development
affecting its fortunes quite naturally
excite greater interest than would be
the case with any other railway that
could be mentioned. The people Of
Portsmouth have an affectionate in-
terested in the welfare of the road and
all that touches it that most effectu-
ally disproves the old theory about
there being no sentiment i'm Business.
There is no occasion for a feeling
OF depression regarding the future of
the road, 1t is really best, it would
apper from surface indications, that
the receivership should come now and
the road be gotten on a proper finan-
cial basis instead OF it's worrying
along with depleted treasury, striv-
ing to meet the great burden of fixed
charges that have been heaped upon
it during late years.
With the property i'm the hands of,
two honest and capable receivers
such as the gentlemen who have been
named to conduct its affairs under
the direction of the court, there ia no
reason to doubt, and we confidently
predict that the property will shortly
emerge from all it's troubles, rejuve-
mated and in better condition than
ever before.
Mr. S. Davies Warfield is not so well
known to our people as his coreceiver,
Mr.. r. Lancaster Williams, but he
has splendid reputation as a man
equipped in every way for great un-
dert akings. As to Mr.. Williams, he
is best known here by his work in
Welding the old street car system
into the present well equipped and
extensive Norfolk and Portsmouth
Traction Company, and has also in
terested himself in many other i'm
portant undertakings i'm Norfolk and
Portsmouth, being one of the largest
owners Of real estate and water front
property hereabouts, and having his
demonstrated in SO. many ways
fi,ith in the future of these cities and
his deep interest in all that makes for
their welfare, that with him as one of
the receivers the people of Ports
mouth may rest assured that the in
terests OF this city SO intimately as
sociated with the Seaboard, will not
suffer.
The result of the receiyership, it is
believed. will be in the nature of a
pleasant surprise for the well wishers
OF the Seaboard system and will mean
a new lease OH life for the road and
perhaps great things for the city
which is it's ocean terminus.

that this would virtually put rate

which was too low, SO the State
