Advertise or Quit.

In an address before a gathering
of advertising men recently, f. l..
Blanchard. All advertising expert of
New York. among at her things said
this which W. copy for the benefit of
business men who advertiSe-Or
should if they are business men:
The average small advertiser thinks
that he knows all there is about adver-
tsing to be known when he starts to
advertise, and fails to appreciate the
value of an analytic critical specialist
who has spent years in acquiring his pc
culiar line OF knowledge.
The next ten or fifteen years will see
remarkable developments in advertising,
and it is only IL question OF Il few years
when firms will be compelled to exploit
the advantages OF their goods or retire
from business. We all know that ut the
present time it is the dead ones 1Aho
do not advertise--the ones whose shelves
are laden with tiy-specked and shelf
worn goods. The live wires of every
community are the men who keep their
wares and their names constantly before

The Blackberry.

Charlotte Chronicle
The blackberry crop is one of the
blessings OF the State that has not
been accorded its full share of appre-
citation. 1t is a free-for-all crop, a
crop of great abundance and one that
does not fail on an average more
than four times in a century. Recent
ly the people of the Western part OF
the State have been turning their at
tention to canning and Winston
Salem, the clearance port, is doing a
big business in that industry. An
Elkin letter to the Winston Sentinel
says that the American Canning Com
pany will have warehouses at nearly
every station from Winston to
Wilkesborofo for blackberries delivered
in bulk and has twenty tank cars to
handle the crop. That section is a
great blackberry country and the
people are expecting to make from
100000 to $4,000 from the crop
this summer.

Advice to Farmers.
For Gods Sake, Quit Going

Preachers Ought to Preach

and All Sensible Men Ought

Georgia Planter.

Atlanta Constitution
George W. Truitt. veteran planter
and rural innovator of Georgia, gets
down to BRASS tacks as to the over
Swallowing industrial problem in the
Sonth. when he saws in n recent issue
of the Constitution:
For Gods sake quit going in debt
To raise cotton. Preachers ought to
preach it. papers ought to print it,
all sensible men ought to talk it.
Owe have II natural monopoly
and have never profted by it.
''On the contrary, it has been 2

Those sentiments should be printed

vile placar1s and sOwn broadcast
throughout the Southern States.
We invest much time and many
prayerful energies in conferences and
mass meetings and conventions look
ing to the Improvement Of rural
conditions in fhe South, and that is
well.
Bur. disregarding that which is
arrdemic. rhetorical and Oratorical,
we reach, at the essential analysis,
the pith of the problem as expressed
by DR.. John Lee Coulter, of the Uni
yersity of Minnesota: who said at
the Auditorium the other night that
every movement for the betterment
of conditions in the rural districts de-
pended at the last upon the business
proposition of making life on the
farm profitable.
That is the whole case in a nut
shell: making life on the farm pro-
pOrtiOnate in money return to life in
the city.
Once that is achieved, the other
improvements will come in foodtide.
Schools will flourish. churches will
multiply. good roads will almost
build themselves and property values
will appreciate magically.
1t requires money for all these
things. ard the chief source from
which the money is coming is the
soil
And the soil will not return the
dividends it should on the incalcula-

Tillman Talks Straight.

Answers Taft and Tells Why
the South is Democratic and
Will Remain So as Long as
the Republican North Main
! tains Present Attitude on
the Race Question-Negro
a Republican Asset.
Senator Benjamin X. Tillman, at
the recent dinner of the South Caro-
Inians at the Hotel knickerbOcker in
New York answered the argument OF
President Taft that the South should
no longer remain solid in its devotion
to the Democratic party. and de-
clared the South solidly Democratic
"becanse the Democraticp party is the
only white mans party"
At the same time he declared there
had been great change on this sub
ipct in the North in the last decade.
"We're often asked" he said. ''why
we OF the South vote the Democratic
ticket. My answer is that the Demo-
cratic party is the only white mans
party today. and am white mans
man. In our State there are 30, 600
more negro vOters-if they were al
lowed to vOte-than white voters.
We have had eight years OF negro
domination, and SO long as Democ-
racv means the rule of the white man.,
so long will we remain Democratic.

earth. And, believing that, am for
the civilization that produced John
c. Calhoun and Robert f. Lee.
THE South clings to the Demo-
cratic party, and until the Republican
party gives up the doctrine that the
negro is AS good as the white man
there is nothing for us OF the South
to do but to cling to the fairth OF our
| fathers.

that in the North there is still the

The Home Merchant.

In an editorial on why it Pays
to Buy Goods at Home" the Inde-
pendent, OF Liberal, Kansas, recently
had this deserved appreciation of
the home merchant:
without any thought of senti-
ment or suggestion that we owe al
legiance to anyone the cold, hard
truth is that the retail merchants of
our home town are the best business
friends we have. The retail merchant
conducts IL school of commerce for
our education-and the tuition is
free. Every man, woman and child
gets the benefit of seeing in the home
town about anything that is of real
Importance. He protects us>against
fraud and deceit. He stands for the
square deal.

charged you $75 for a "trailer"

FEVER BREEDING CLIMATE,

.PERILS ARE MANIFOLD
CATHOLIC BISHOP FROM AFRICA
DOUBTS If ALL PARTY
WILL RETURN.

New York-BIshop Hugh MacSher-
-, the Roman Catholic prelate from
Africa. who is visiting in Brooklyn, is
OF the opinion that not all OF the Roose-
welt hunting party will return TO this
country alive. and that Mr. Roosevelt
himself is running. great risk. He
says:
The sort OF places that the party
must go through to get at the game Is
against Col. Roosevelt. The climate
itself constitutes a danger. There are
swamps, breeding malaria. and low
lying places generally. There is dan
ger OF fever. He may get the sleeping
sickness. Then he will never come
back. This lays hold of whites as well
as the blacks.
The natives are treaCheTous and
they are indispensable as carriers and
guides. They have been known 10 de-
sert their parties and run away. The
cause OF this is superstitiOus fear.
What would happen to Mr.. Roosevelt
and his companions II they were thus
treated? They would not know their
route in wild country, and they would
be unable 10 carry alone their camping
outfits and food"
Mr.. Roosevelt is just the sort OF
robust man that would succumb among
the first.
Il would not like 10 predict any
mans death. but fully concur with
the opinion of Prof. Frederick Starr.
Of the University Of Chicago. that ii is
highly probable not all the party will
return alive" continued the bishop.

counts missionaries have given me.

Il should like to think that he would

have the advice of local physician.
"Of all the dangers. perhaps the
worst Is from the wild animals. ! as.
sure you this part of Africa is not like
a geological garden. Lions. tigers and
rhinoceroses abound. The fact that
Mr.. Roosevelt wears glasses will con-
stitute a very considerable element of
danger. No matter what trials OF his
aggressiveness. they would be required
to be continued up to date in order
that the great activity OF his previous
life as Rough Rider should stand in
his aid now"
