EXPOSE THE DEADBEATS.

Our esteemed neighbOr, the Hen
derson GOLD LEAF, is warning news
papers against accepting advertise
ments of the Bloodine Corporation,
| if placed through the so-called Inter
national Advertising Agency OF Bos-
ton, unless paid for in advance The
rule that obtains in this office is to
accept no advertisement ofstrangers,
even if cash accompanies the order,
until we make investigation OF the
merits Of the thing advertised and
get a report OF some reliable mer-
camille agency on the standing and
responsibility OF the advertising
agency. The last time we failed to
make this investigation was few
years ago when we advertised the
"Hammar Paint" for the F. Ham
mar Paint Company OF st. Louis.
The advertisement was offered us by
the Starke Advertising Agency OF
New y ork and we refused it. Then the
F. Hammar Paint Company ordered
the advertising and we published the
| same according to agreement with
the Hammar people, but up to this
time they have not paid the bill.
We got a report on the Starke
Agency but failed to make enquiry
about the advertiser, the Hammar
Paint Company, consequently we lost
S24,OO. Our experience has been
that ii we reject three-fourths OF the
foreign advertising offered US we can
get more local patronage that we
can depend upon and the few foreign
advertisements that we do accept
will pay US a good rate.-Rich Square
RoanOke-Chowan Times.
We never had any dealings with
the Hammar Paint Company and
know nothing about them, but II
they are Tor were) newspaper adver-
tising deadbeats, the Roanoke
Chowan Times ought to have exposed
them sooner-when it found out the
true character of the concern. By SO
doing other newspapers no doubt
would have been saved from sharing
its experience.
Are there not others? Let the
papers speak out and give their
experience with advertising the dead
beats. 1t is not very agreeable to
admit that one has been taken in by
some rascally concern, to be sure,
but it is no disgrace and when we do
get caught we ought to come out
manfully and say 50 for the protec-
tiOn of others.
In the mean time if you are carry
ing the advertising of the Bloodine
Corporation on promise to pay by
the International Advertising Com
pany, better drop it and pocket the
loss you have incurred rather than
be out bigger sum.

now conducted in this State anybody
who wants to vote is permitted to do
so. No registration books are used,
no oath is misunderstanding is

the primary represents himself, casts
his vote and his name is recorded.
That's all. Makes no difference to
what party he belongs or who he in

The general public is invited to attend
an eduational and industrial meeting to
be held at Drewry, \. T.. on Saturday,
October 22nd. We do not offer any in
ducement in the way of barbecue etc.
for we wish to appeal to the moral and
intellectual nature of the people not to
the animal. Several prominent speakers
are expected to be present and deliver
addresses
We especially desire the presence OF
those who call themselves The Com
mon People for from their ranks must
come the rulers OF this commonwealth.
The Farmers Union will be represen ted
by J. NJ Templeton. and the educational
interest by J.'C. kittrelI and Others.
These two interests need to. be bound
more closely together by personal con-
tact, and interchange of sentiment. as a
large majority OF our citizens do not
know that, in reality, they are one, and
the same thing.
Every prominent family is kindly re-
quested to.bring a small basket of lunch.

two more: which will do away with the
expense and labor of few, who would
have to prepare dinner for an unknown
quantity. We are sure our generous.
thoughtful people will agree with us
that this is the better plan.

Joint Discussion Between FourthDls-

Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
Wow! You people of the Fourth
district who have been pining for a red
hot campaign will get your wish this
fNll when Congressman Edward ".
Pou and r. \. P. Cooley start on
their Joint discussion.
Mr.. Cooley has nerve with him to
challenge Mr.. Pou, but so far as that
is concerned, he displayed a large
quantity OF nerve when he announced
his candidacy as an independent, and
added to this display by fishing for
and landing the Republican endorse
ment. But he baked at speaking
before the Republican Congressional
convention.
\ few days ago Cooley threw out a
def to Pou to meet him in q Joint
discussion. Now, il anybody enjoys
political discussion more than Mr..
Pou he is hard to find, so he eprompt-
ly wrote Mr.. Cooley, expressing his
willingness to meet him. Arrange
ments have been made and the list OF
appointments announced.
Everyone knows what an able de-
batter Mr.. Pou is, as his reputation is
not confined to this section OF the
State, nor even to the State. He is
perfectly able TO care for himself
against anyone.
1t is said that Mr.. Cooley is some
what Of a debater himself, and can
land some very effective blows,
though he will be greatly handicap
ped by the cause he will have to ad-
vocate, but when it comes to regular,
old-time whoop-'em-up discussion he
Is ready.
OF course Mr.. Pou will be elected by
the usual majority, but the Joint dis
cussion will put spice into the race
and will go a long way towards
breaking the monotony between now
and the time for counting out the
majority.

OF good results in attracting capital

the intrepid young Peruvian aviator
who crossed the Alpsin an aeroplane,
should have died from his injuries re-
ceived in trying to make a landing
after the worst part of the under
taking had been accomplished. Ithad
been predicted by aviator experts
that the attempt to fly across the
Alps could haveno other result than a
fatal termination, either the air-man
would fail to make the trip across in
safety or else attaining such an al
titude as would be necessary atmOs-

would so benumb the aviator that he

The Old System.

John j. Fox is chairman of a
local school board in greater New
York.
He declares that the public
schools are loaded up with fads and
so, the other day. he introduced a
resolution before the board asking
that body to record its emphatic
disapproval of that feature of the
educational system which subordi-
mates grammar to graSshoppers,
reading to caterpillarS. spelling to
golden rOd arithmetic to frogs, and
penmanship to tadpoles.
Fox claims that these reprehen-
sible fads have resulted in destroy
ing the childrens respect for Eng
fish and inducing them to interlard
their speech with unwholesome
slang. He labored earnestly to i'm.
part his ideas to the rest of the
board, but the other members took
no stock in his denunciation of the
present system, and instruction in
grasShoppers and frogs will con.
tinue to prevail throughout the
length of the Bronx.
While Mr.. FOx's argument may
be Overdrawn, it is. nevertheless,
true that in many states the schools
