"A LITTLE STORY FROM
A LOCAL STORE
Showing That the People Must
Be Kept Informed
Early to bed,
And early to rise;
Work like hi,
And advertise.

This is said to be the only royal
road to success. But rising early ana
working hard must be backed up with
the proper publicity if the success is
to be guaranteed
A local Americas merchant recently
had a signal illustration of the fact
that it requires advertising to push
goods, that people are not mind read
els. but depend upon their daily news
paper to keep them posted as to the
stocks their merchants have to offer
them.
But here is how the story goes, and
it is a true one
A new article of goods was placed
Oh sale in the store in question. The
introducer placed some advertising
matter in the Times-Recorder direct
ing attention to the presence of the
goods. In a short time the entire
stock was exhausted
More goods of the same sort came.
The promoter started to advertise
them again
ITS no use advertising them," said
the merchant. "The people know they
are here now"
So no advertising was done.
But the people didn't know, or they
had forgotten, or anyway they did not
come up and buy After a few days
lingering waiting for customers, adver-
Using was once more resorted to. The
Americas public was made acquaint-
ed with the fact that the goods were
there awaiting them.
And then they came, and the goods
were sold.
And now the goods are advertised
regularly and nothing is left TO
chance.
The moral is plain Don't take it
for granted that the people are all
the time thinking or membering that
you have goods in hand that they
want Let them know what you are
Offering, keep them reminded thai
you are still alive and doing business.

MIR. HEARD OF HEARD
HAS A CLAIM
Wants $4,000 as Pay for His
Farm Property

Atlanta, February 22.-William j.
Heard, of Heard county, better known
as Hell Roarin Heard, of Heard
HILL" probably the most picturesque
survivor of the civil war character IN
Georgia, has gone to Washington ae-
companied by distinguished legal
counsel, in the expectation of secur-
ing the $4,000 claim he has against
the federal government. 1T is beliey-
ed here that he will be successful.
Mr.. Heard's father was a very
wealthy Georgia planter before the
civil war His property, amounting
to over $4,000, was confscated by
the invading army, One of the things
that has thus far stood in the way Of
Mr. Heard securing payment Of the
claim was the clause in the law max
ing loyalty to the union one Of the
requisites on which the money could
be recovered. Congress, however, has
wiped away this qualification with
reference to the individual owner of
the property and nothing now seems %
ctand between Mr.. Heard and his
fortune. For the past three years
he has been an inmate Of the Fulton
county almshouse.
Mr.. Heard has yelled his way into
prominence more than once since the
civil war. Six years ago he stamped
ed the Georgia legislature by appear
ing in the gallery in high state Of
excitement and denouncing the whole
legislative body as "a gang Of -
rascals.
Came From Stephen Heard.
Hell Roarin Bits father lived in
Wilkes county, Georgia He was John
Allen Heard, remembered by many Of
the older generation as a well-todo
and patriotic Southerner The son,
William Heard, who was the Oldest
.of eleven children, served throughout
the war under Gen. Joe Wheeler, by
whose memory he still swears and he
is member of the leading U. c. V.
camp here. He is a direct descendant
of Governor Stephen Heard, d.
ceased, who was the first popularity
elected governor Of Georgia He is a
lineal descendant Of Stephens Hop
kins, of New Jersey, one of the sign
ers of the declaration Of independ-
ence Mr. Heard will probably re-
main in Washington this time until
his claim is settled

DENY ACCIDENT
INSURANCE TRUST

New York, Oct. 4.--Allegations of a
combine of casualty companies, which
have recently been made by employ
ers of labor, are denied by officials
of the leading concerns having offices
here. 1t is admitted that the compa-
MES have central committees, but 1t
is alleged that these supply only sta
tistical conclusions from the data sub
mitted by the various companies, and
that they have no bearing on rates
charged.
Liability insurance rates, II is adj
mitted, have been raised all over the
country, in some places as much as
40 per cent. The passage or threats
of passage. of workmen's compensa-
tion laws are given as the reason for
the advance. The rates vary in differ
ent states. 1t Is said. In Pennsylvania
the rate is cents per 500, while in
Texas, where the courts have de-
stroyed the three defenses of fellow
servant, contributory negligence and
assumption Of risk, the rate is more
than seven times as much, or so cents
for every 500.

FARMERS UNEAsi-

RugIe Has Come Back and George

Great joy spread throughout the
Farmers today when the great Dan
Rugle of the famous 1909 team re-
turned to resume his academic work
at A. & NJ. college. The Farmers have
good fullback in Ed Vesmiroysky of
Bryan, but as Beasley was laid up in
the hospital the other day things
looked mighty bad for a fast back
field. Now since Rugle has returned
it is thought that he can be used 10
help out Underwood and Morrison in
halfback.
Southwestern is mighty Strong, it is
understood here. Different sporting
editors over the state give them the
best line in the South. They are sup
posed to be weak on quarterback,
as Snipes, their famous 1910 quarter,
did not return. The Farmers know
they are going to have to work hard.
Moran has been working on the back
field and McNulty has been devoting
his entire time to the line, trying to
whip some of the youngsters into

Georgetown, Texas, Oct. Coach
Arbuckle and eighteen men have been
working at the Southwestern univer.
sity athletic field for the past week,
getting in shape for the big game to
be played on Kyle Field at College
Station next Friday. This game will
be what Arbuckle considers one of
the hardest games of the season
Coach Arbuckle has great team this
fall. and they are in mighty good
shape. They are fast and the line is
in good weight There is no especial
work at starring and teamwork seems
to be the sole aim driven at by
Arbuckle.
The men leave for College Station
tomorrow, and they are going down
there to win. They anticipate a great
game, but they are sure that they will
succeed in getting the game. The
alumni all over the state are praying
that Southwestern will defeat the
husky Farmer eleven. They are all
sure that Southwestern will make a
name for herself, and they are anti
cipating the greatest team they have
ever had.
Southwestern has the best team

this fall they have ever had. OF
course, the great Snipes will be
missed and two or three other old
men who graduated, but the South
western men have gathered in some
great material this fall. They have
some big men, and Coach Arbuckle
has succeeded in pounding a great
deal of football into them. Although
Southwestern does not have the num-

has, still they have a large number.

|BRVlIs BUSINESS IMGRElsE|
Railroad Tonnage Increased Forty
seven Per cent-Exprsss and
Telegraph Business Also


The index to the prosperity and
wealth of any community Is its pro.
ductive resources. Its productive re-
sources are better indicated by its
freight tonnage than in any other
single way. The Commercial Club has
been compiling some comparative fg-
ures upon this part of Bryan's stats.
tics, and the results may prove some
what OF an eye-opener to the ordinary
reader.
The correct figures show that the
tonnage and revenues on freight for
warded from Bryan by both railroads
during the month Of August, 1911, in
creased over that of 1910 by frac-
tion over AZ per cent, and was greater
than in. any previous August in the
history of the railroads.
The aggregate Of the freight for
warded from Bryan during the month
OF August, 1911, was greater than the
aggregate of that forwarded from
Hearne. Calvert and Marlin combined.
1t was greater than that forwarded
from Navasota, Hearne and Calvert
combined. 1t was greater than that
forwarded from Navasota, Calvert and
Marlin combined. The increase in per-
centage was more than five times that
of any Of the towns mentioned above
Sometimes we are prone to think that
the increase in the business life of
Bryan and its productive devel-
opment in the last two years is
matter of course, and that no factor
has been an aiding agency, but II this
were true II should have shown it's
natural happen-chance effect on the
other neighbors. Their natural re-
sources are apparently as great as
those of Bryan. Nor was August an |
exceptional month. The increase has |
been steady and gradual, not month |
but that showed an increase in per-
.entage over the previous month.
The increase in the Western Union |
business has been proportionately |
greater than that shown in the freight |
forwarded business, 1t being frac-
ion under 100 per cent.
The increase in the express business
vas about the same as that in freight
orwarded.

the old line men should get knocked
out. The Farmer line is going to be
strong. but they all know that they
are going up against one OF the fast
est lines ever congregated in Texas,
when they meet Southwestern univer-
sity next Friday at Kyle Field.
George Altgelt, the famous 1910 end,
is back in the game. 1t was thought
for while that Altgelt would not be-
in shape to play this season. but he
has now received his parents permits
sion, and in all probability Head
Coach Moran will use him against the
fast Southwestern eleven. He was
used last year and It was due to his
efforts that Southwestern was held to
such a close score. He is in fine shape
this fall, and If Moran uses him 1t is
without a doubt that he win do his
share to win the game for the Farm
ers.
Capt Caesar Holm has been inter
viewed regarding the game next Fri
day, and he has not much to say.
Holm gave out the statement, how
ever, that the game was entirely too
early in the season for the Farmers,
but that they are going at Southwest
ern to win.
