town from the country returns laden
down with binding twine in prepera-
ton for the monster crops that are
soon to be exposed to the sickle Of the
harvester.

What Constitutes Success.

Success is usually estimated by
the size of ones banking account.
That is but a.Soarse and mercenary
way of ji1dR6 sIt leaves out OF
reckoning othEfconsidera tions, the
possession or absence Of which can
alone determine whether man has
or has not made success of life.
The idle rich who toll not and
spin not, but who squander time
money and health in fast living
may, indeed, be called wealthy men
but no sensible person would call
them successful. To turn night in
to day, to spend large sums of mon
ey upon actresses, to drink and
gamble, all this stamps a man as
disreputable, disgrace to society
aud failure, for there can be no
true success without character.
But there are wealthy men whose
lives are free from vice and who
seem to be very pattern of pros
perity, who yet are anything but
successful. And this is because
much of their wealth is made by
constant violation of law and by
unrighteous attitude towards their
business competitors. A man is
nothing but failure who makes
his money at the sacrifice of con-
science and business honor.
Nor is that man to be considered
successful who constantly absorbs
money and gives out nothing. To
live for ones self and ignore the
reasonable claims of others may re-
suit in added wealth, but he who 80

thing, and poudds of the other, they
deliver for s..
They make up catchy orders for
the eye of the public.
They send their catalogs every
where, and fill the Sunday editions
of the newspapers with accounts of
their attractions.
They are alive and let the people
know they are on earth.
They 20 after business in the
modern way, and they get it.
In the meantime many local mer-
chants are complaining of trade,
and are chalking their sidewalks
while the goods that reach the city
from the mail order houses show
a steady increase from month to
month.
The cash is being sent away; the
credit accounts stay at home.
The best trade is deserving the
place.
The poor has to remain.
The Enterprise is often asked to
say something about the evil of
sending money out of town.
To explain how the home mer-
chant pays the taxes; support the
schools and the churches and have
their hands continually in their
pockets to help some charitable
cause. And it Is all true, but we
might as we'll try to stop the tide
from coming in or the wind from
blowing as to check the sending
away of money by this reasoning.
The only way to keep the money
at home is for. the local merchant
to do his own share by meeting the
outsider at his own game.

And then advertise some more.
You say theS editor would natur.

Of course.
It is reasonable one.

learn of your bargains if you do not
advertise them, and how can you
advertise them 80 we'll as to tall
about them in the paper that goes
into the homes?
People aren't going about town
hunting up bill boards or store
fronts to get the news.
The merchant has got to get into
the game right.
If he doesn't when he has the op
portunity, then he doesn't deserve
to get the business. If he permits
others to beat him in enterprise
he must expect to lose to them.

Notice to Shippers
and Receivers
Of Freight

.
The undersigned, members Vir-
ginia Association of Railway
Agents, have adopted the following
rules for the regulation of freight
traffic in the city of Virginia, which
are in accordance with the instruc-
tons from our respective account
ing and operating departments,
same to become effective May LIST.
1911.
All freight charges payable at
time of delivery of freight.
Charges on prepaid freight for
warded payable at time of ship
ment.
Freight house doors will not re-
main open for the receipt and de-
livery of freight later than 5 P. NJ.
All freight offered for shipment
to be plainly marked with name of
| consignee and packed in accord
ance with general freight traffic
specifications.
The above rules have not been
established with a view to cause
hardship to any party or parties,
but to lift some of the financial re-
sponsibility and worry from the
shoulders of our cashiers, who are
held accountable for all collections
and overworked under the present
loose credit system. When the
cash system is once established, it
proves more convenient and salts
factory for all concerned, and as a
matter of fact, the cash system is in
effect at all points on the range ex-
cept Virginia. A little cooperation
by the Shippers and receivers of
freight will result in better service
for all, as the cash basis helps to
establish some kind of system for
the railway employees and system
means, when once established, that
| we will be able to serve all to the
best advantage. Please help us
and we assure you that it will help
you.
