 The salaries paid to commercial secretaries, who give whole time to promotion, has shown solid improve rent during the year. There are now many who get over $500 ;ear, some ever s24O0, a few over 5000 and small number over $5O00. The highest priced men are found Ill the towns that are doing most, and in which advertising funds are now be- ing brought together for the contlnu- o,s promotion campaign of the south will begin n the fall of 1910. SeF- cral hundred secretaries are doing great work in small towns, serving without salaries among these are presnyte. ian minister, an undertaken, and a theatrical manager
 ! The training of secretaries has been along every line of experience. News paper men lead, with merchants as a close second. Real Estate and ln- surance men stand third. Railroad ing and the advertising field have produced about an equal number; these two classes filling some of the most important places in the whole south.

This is designed to prevent duplication o1 effort and waste energy on the part O. the Department of Agriculture, the railroads the experiment stations, the farm lerr onstration work of the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture and of commercial organizations. Il is eAJected that this also will leat to a united advertising effort for tht state.

A Hurt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors.
 It is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes a specialist with the hammer. So when you hear fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has stcp- ped on his toes.
 You will find this the case With professional men-Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex- ception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Con- pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell
 At first they began to whine, now you can hear them yelping, on every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE FIDOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have new company in the field. We'll you have had them before. I have never heard you in such pain and agony as this.
 Yes, But-Well hold on, don't they pay their claims? Yes, that is the trouble and they, are offering $100 aeward for proof of any unpaid just claim.
 We'll why don't you get that s10o and quit knocking. I cant find an unpaid claim. Are they prompt in the settlement of claims. Yes, all , the policyholder has to do is to have his physician fill claim blank and go to their office and receive drafts in full
 We'll, if this is the case. I see no reason of so much unwarranted knocking. We'll on the 0. T. am going to confess to you their policies are so liberal, and they give their oolicyholders such square deal, they are putting us out of business and we have to do this to hold some f our business. We feel encourag- d over the above as our president assures us that knocking on the part of competitors means greater success

DON'T LAY BY TOO EARLY,
David Il. Cokcr Offers Some Timely
AdVicr-Hccd lit!

CHR. Cocker. in Hartsvillc Messenger)
| understand that many farmers in
this section have already laid by cot
ton. If the weed is large-almost
tapping in the rows-it is ready to
lay by, but ii it is small, one or two
more shallow plowings will greatly
benefit it.
In 1881 the long drought was
broken August f. Those farmers who
gave their crops another working
after the rains made nearly o. quite
twice as much as those who laid-by
earlier
| believe the correct theory as to
laying-by is this: Never lay-by at all,
but let the. crop lay itself by. Cot
ton is benefited by light sweep
ploughing as long as it is green and
growing until it practically shades
the ground. When it gets so big that
YOU can't get into it with short sin
gle trees without breaking and
brushing IT, it is time TO lay-by-in
fact. it has already laid itself by.
This year almost the whole cotton
crop Is at least two weeks late. and
much Of it a month or more behind.
If cotton. young and small, is laid by
at the usual time, it is bound to
produce a light crop, but if it is Judi
ciously worked and kept growing
until the middle OF September, it
may. with good seasons, yet make a
full crop.
