BE A BOOSTER!
Help bring more good families to Carlisle and Watch
 Us Grow.

Suppose Carlisle had one hun dred more good families. One hundred common laborers with families would furnish sufficient trade to maintain a prosperous general merchandising business. The merchant getting that trade would employ several clerks. Those laborel $, clerks and mer- chants would occupy more than 100 houses, paying an annual rental of more than S10.000.00. Four extra teachers would be re- quired in our public schools; more than five hundred seats in our churches could be filled Some S5O0.OO would be added to our street tax fund; several hun dred dollars in taxes would De collected from them annually. If they all took lights, the light and power plant would have to put on extra labor and thus add new links to an endless chain. More homegrown products could be sold here, which would thus save the shipping charges, and an ice plant, steam laundry and water works would be made possible and again more links to the chain. The postmaster would have to put on extra clerks and the lumber dealers would be in their glory. The railroad would have more business and we would soon have pressed brick depot. We could hear the tune of the hammer and saw continu- ally, for building would be the order of the day. Stoves, sew ing machines, furniture and a thousand and one other necessi ties of life would find a ready market and the dealers a profit In short every interest in the city would bloom in prosperity
 we could have miles of concrete walk and other public improve ments would be made.
 Now they could be had. The only question is how badly do we want them2 A paper mill wonld bring several families to our lit tie city, and a steam laundry, an ice factory. a brick plant, an ice cream factory, a brick school building, a spoke and handle fac tory and brick hotel would all aid the cause, to say nothing of the dozen other needed industries and institutions and doubling up in capacity of our already ex- tensive and varied institution.
 Now let everyone who reads this say amen" and then don t stop at that. but get busy and write some of your friends and relatives in other states and tell them of the unnumbered oppor- tunities in and near Carlisle that only awaits money and labor for development tell them what we have and what we need and urge them to come and investigate the situation. Then last, but not by any means least, have more home pride-improve your own property, put down concrete walks and otherwise beautify your home and place of business and remember that "whosoever freezeth to dollar till the eagle saueals, is wise only after his own nature, for, yerily, he shall squeeze but few"

J. McLaurin, who d.ed on Decemb ar 22 last Ex-Governor James K Yard aman continues to be the most talked of candidate for the place. Prior to the death of Senator McLaurin, Gov ernor Vardaman had already launched his campaign for the senatorial seat. which in the ordinary course of events would have been filled by the primary election in 1911. The race question: according to his statement issued in announcing his candidacy, waste be made the chief issue III the Vardaman campaign. Besides the ex-governor the only persons named as possible candidates to succeed
 Senator McIaurin are Adam Byrd and Congressman Eaton J. Bowers.
 Aside from the choice of a senator | the session of the general assembly will have a number of other impoF- l tant matters to occupy its attention Among other things a change in the
 states penal system is to be consid- | cred A number of proposed consi- ! tutional amendments are on the
 agenda and it is possible that an
 amendment providing for statewide prohibition may be proposed. though
 this is now regarded as unlikely in 1 view of the recent defeat of sim liar amendment in Alabama.
