Poe and P%otations.

Edgar Allan Poe, regarded in Europe
as the greatest American literary gen.
JUS. drank whisky ut times. But for
this fact he undoubtedly would have
been nominated ere now to a place in
the Hall of Fame in New York city,
where the memories Of a select group
Of dead Americans are to be embalmed
to posterity by vote Of a committee of
one hundred more or less eminent liv-
ing Americans.
1t appears now that Poe will be
elected to the Hall Of Fame at the next
balloting. 1t appears also to the aver
age fair minded person that be should
have been Glected at the first balloting.
Poe has been dead more than sixty
years. His first biOgrapher. Griswold.
as subsequent researches and develop
ments have proved, cast unwarranted
aspersions upon the poet by CHASING
him as a drunkard. Griswold had d
crouch against Poe. This fact also has
been proved. Evidence is not lack
ing to show that. despite his occa-
sional periods of ~bibulousness. Poe
was a person of gentlemanly qualities.
His heroic struggle against poverty
and neglect and scorn must be counted
in his favor. His devotion to his in
valid wife is another record on the
credit side Of the ledger.
The drinking habit is less popular in
our days than it was in Poe's. but that
fact scarcely excuses the committee
for refusing to place a tablet to the
poet in the Hall of Fame just because
he drank some whisky: It is a disgrace
to American intelligence that the Poe
tablet has not been unveiled already.

Over IN Ramsey county a public meet

100 Million Dollars Worth of Shoes

These are stupendous figures yet this is the yearly amount that the South spends for shoes. As curiosity these figures may attract you for minute but the most curious thing about them is that three quarters of this money is regularly sent away from the South and the South is that much poorer for it.
 You trade at Southern shoe store. You give the dealer your money You probably buy western northern made shoe. When the dealer pays his bi this money less small per cent to the dealer goes north west and the South is that much poorer.
 Keep your money at home. Let it work for better times better wages, more factories, more work for Southern people.
 Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe. Made in the South by white labor, for Southern gentlemen The best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for $35O and $4O0 Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays the South and pays Southern labor Southern grocers bakers and butchers.
 It builds Southern factories homes and schools
 We can support more and better industries Let's each do his part.
