woman appeared and declared herself
TO be the owner. but a few shrewd
questions exhausted her nerve and she
left abruptly. The package still re-
mains for its rightful owner.

lioht Under a Bushel.

People who make headway in this
world, either socially, commercially or
politically, generally accomplish that
end through the help Of advertising.
Advertising is an absolutely neces-
sary accompaniment of progress in any
of these departments. By advertising,
we mean the securing of publicity.
There are various ways of doing this;
but, however, it is to be noted it is es-
sential to substantial results.
With social or political advertising
we have nothing to do at present, II
being our purpose only to briefly dis
cuss commercial advertising.
Where an individual or firm Is do
ing all the business he or it wants to
do, and only desires to be let alone,
there is no need to advertise in any
way. Indeed, the end to be derived can
best be accomplished by refraining from
advertising.
But where an individual has that
which is of advantage to the public
and to his own advantage, provided the
public takes advantage of 1t, it is to
his interest to advertise. Some other
individual may have exactly the same
thing; but if he keeps quiet about it,
he will not reap anything like the ad-
vantage that will be reaped by the man
who makes his possession known.
There are few people maybe, who

or 81 points net higher, while later po-
sitions sold 10 to 16 points net higher.
European shorts seemed to be chiefly
responsible for this advance and after
the detailed weather reports had been
received from Texas showing the rains
had been rather more general and
heavier than suggested by the early
map, with the forecast calling fer ad-
ditional showers, the market eased off
under realizing and selling for q turn
by local scalpers with old crop months
reacting to within to IL points Of last
weeks close, while new crop sold about
the final figures of Saturday. Later
The whole list rallied on renewal OF
support from local bulls and covering
by early sellers, with most positions
reaching the highest level OF the day
and with July selling at 1893.
Heavy realizing caused slight reac-
ton toward the close, but support was
in evidence on a scale down.

Riaht For Rights Sake.

OF the many important lessons the
civilized world has yet to learn, one OF
the greatest is that Of doing right Tor
rights sake.
Most individuals know the difference
between right and wrong, and there are
few individuals who fail to recognize
the advantage of having right on their
side; but with a very large proportion,
there is a marked indifference to right
except where it promises to be an asset
available to their selfish advancement.
Where a large proportion of people
hold to the idea that the right and
wrong of questions that do not d.
rectly concern their own personal in
terests is a matter Of Indifference to
them, it becomes all the more difficult
for the individual who is directly con-
cerned, to secure the right to which he
may be entitled.
While, of course, this general prop
osition ought to be calculated to bring
the question down to individuals, from
the standpoint Of selfishness, If for no
other reason, as a matter OF fact II
does not 1t is probably true that no
other natural quality is more common
to mankind than selfishness, 1t Is not
difficult to understand that this quality
is least dependable as a means OF
bringing mankind together. Mankind
are never brought together for good,
except through broad motives and there
is no breadth in selfishness.
If everybody stood for right for
rights sake, then, Of course, right
would be supreme, and this would be
such a happy world that there would
be little need for the world to come.
For this reason alone il is safe to say
that this condition will never exist
here below.
For one to stand for right, even be-
cause he believes right will win, Is not
especially commendable. On the con-
trary it is selfish. While it Is fact
that right always wins, it is not a fact
that they who stand for it always reap
the immediate benefits. If it Is imme-
diate benefits they are after, they are
not entitled to them-they are not
right.
But after all there is something in 1t
that Is worth while. Certainly no man
ever reached permanent benefit by
fighting for that which is wrong, even
though he may have been a temporary
winner And unless he has given 1t
up in surrender, no man who has ever
fought for the right, has been brought
to believe that his fight was altogether
in vain.

Friends and relatives Of Mr.. w. j.
Mullinax to the number Of seventy-flve
or one hundred, gave him a big sur
prise party at his home near Kings
Mountain battle-ground last Saturday.
The occasion was Mr.. Mullinax's seth
birthday. Mr.. Mullinax is the eldest
son of the late Rev. T. H. Mullinax.
1t was formerly the custom Of the nu-
merous friends and relatives Of the late
esteemed minister to gather at his
house at least once year on some day
previously agreed upon, and although
these gatherings had been discontinued
since the old gentleman's death two
years ago, it was conceived among the
same people that it would be nice
thing to give Mrs. Mullinax and her
son a repetition Of the old time visits,
hence the gathering last Saturday. All
the visitors brought picnic dinners, and
the Antioch band was on hand to dis
pense fine music during the day, and
everybody present had delightful time

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following are the developments in
the speculative cotton market yester-
day as summarized in a New York dis
patch of last night.
The feature of today's cotton market
was the strength of old crop months
which made new high records for the
season, and the close was steady at a
net advance of to Is points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of IA points on May and points
lower to higher on later positions.
Cables were q shade disappointing, but
had rallied sharply from an early de-
cline before the local opening, while
early reports Of light rains in the
southwest were offset to some extent
by fears of too much moisture in east
ern and central sections Of the belt.
Large English spot sales, reports Of
strong southern markets and Of ship
ments from the local stock seemed to
be causing near month shorts a good
deal of uneasiness, and in spite of more
favorable Texas crop conditions, May

THERE is no question in the mind ol
The Enquirer, that the publication oi
the tax returns in the newspapers
would do a great deal toward estao-
fishing equalization. Some eighteen
years ago the general assembly proVid-
ed for the publication Of the poll lists
of the various counties in the newspa-
pers, and the result was considerable
number of additions. Many indiVid-
uals who had never before been on the
list were caught. The publication OF
property returns would have an even
more striking effect. In the interest OF
peace and good order, however, we
would suggest that il such thing were
contemplated, it would be worth while
to provide at least a years notice OF
the intended publication so people may
have the opportunity to regulate mat
ters in the meantime. Otherwise there
will be no end of turmoil and strife.

NOT HIS FIGHT.
President Taft Declines to Become In
volved In Kansas FactionaIism.

President Taft, says Washington
special, has written letter to Govern
or Stubs Of Kansas, in which he de-
clares with emphasis that he will not
permit himself to be used by any po-
litical faction for the promotion of po-
litical fortunes, and at the same time
revoking the appointment Of Robert
Stone of Topeka, a personal friend of
Governor Stubs, to be special assist
ant to the United States attorney gen.
eral.
The situation grows out Of the Bris-
tow-Long senatorial fight of last year,
it is said President Taft, a personal
friend of Senator Long, kept out Of that
fight because he did not want to be
placed in a position Of having inter-
fered in any factional fight in any
state. Governor Stubs was allied with
Mr.. Bristow.
Governor Stubs was in Washington
several weeks ago and asked the pres
ident to appoint a Kansas man to a
good position in the department Of JUS
tice. The president consented, suppos-
ing, 1t is said, that whoever was named
would have the backing Of the congress
sional delegation from the state.
After his return home, Governor
Stubs suggested the appointment of
DlOHS. IL Is Sdlu NONelHOI SluUuS
is to be a candidate for the United
States senate against Senator Curtis.
Mr.. Stone was appointed as special as
sistant attorney general. When Sena-
tor Curtis and Representative Anthony
of the Topeka district, heard Of the ap-
pointment they Immediately went to
the White House and placed their sit
uation before President Taft. The lat
ter, at once, wrote two letters, one to
Governor Stubbs and one to Attorney
General Wickersham, directing the lat
ter to hold up the appointment OF Mr..
Stone and saying Governor Stubbs has
"thoughtlessly placed us in a position
that is entirely indefensible. In his
letter to Governor Stubbs the presi-
dent said:
"To my great surprise / am shown
now an article in which Mr.. Stones
appointment Is heralded as humilia-
ton to the members of the delegation
and as Il joke on them; not only that,
but also as an instrument for the de-
feat of one Of the congressman, Mr..
Anthony. / think you must yourself
see. governor, that / could not for a
moment put myself in an attitude OF
opposition to the delegation. especially
to particular friends of mine like Mr..
Anthony and Senator Curtis"
The president goes on to say that If
the delegation shall approve the ap-
pointment of Mr. Stone, his nomination
will be sent to the senate. He winds
up by saying:
81 cannot allow myself or the depart
ment under me to be made the means
of the promotion of the political for
tunes of one faction or the other in a
state as important as Kansas"

]. s. Brice, presided, and after devo-
tional exercises lead by Rev. E. e. Gil

as the principal speaker Of the even
ing. DR.. Thomson gave a history OF
the Sunday League Of America, telling
how it was organized, some twenty
years ago for the purpose Of securing
better observance Of the Sabbath
throughout America. He argued
against the conduct Of any kind OF
business on Sunday, as prejudicial to
the public morals and the health OF
those who were compelled to do the
work, and outlined as one Of the pur-
poses of the organization the building
Of a $4,000 headquarters in Texas. He
asked subscriptions Of those present for
this purpose. At the conclusion Of DR.
Thomson's remarks, resolutions were
adopted pledging those present to the
PRONUNCIATION Of the principles being
taught by the Sabbath Observance
league, and upon all citizens Of the
commonwealth to assist in the promul-
cation of those principles. Those pres
