NOTICE

On the first day of October 1911,
will discontinue the credit business,
and will sell for cash, or notes or
Mortgages.
Any man who has not got the mon
ey to pay cash may make a note or
mortgage and get any thing al the
lew cash price-this system will en-
able me to give some wonderful bar
gains. The good man will not have
to ray the bad mans debt.
The greatest thing any man has in
this world is his credit, (although q
CRATE many don't care what kind they
have got). No n man can affGrd to
stake his credit against the credit of
the whole people of the surrounding
community.
Here is an example, have four
hundred customers, supncse / should
sell each me a pair of shoes for $500
on a credit. Suppose each man is a
good honest man, but thinks 1890 is
not much and lets it run one year., (as
many do) you see I would have out
$4,000 nc interest and at the same
time paying interest at the rate of s
per cent. Any man under the shining
sun would fail to make ends meet
conducting business along these lines.
/ am going to sell for cash. have
good security, o. keep my goods.
You can readily see what a risk a
mar takes, places his credit Of
$4,000 against 400 men.
Respectfully,
A. o. JONES.

Placed VICTIM.
ON R. R. TRACK

The community of Fletcher was
startled last Thursday morning in the
finding of the body of Will Fletcher a
negro along side OF the Southern rail-
road near that place. Investigations
at the coroner's inquest proved that
the negro, who had been employed by
the AshevilIe Brick and Tile Com
pany, had come to his death from the
hands of unknown party or parties.
The testimony given before Coroner
Kirk and a jury showed that the negro
had been in attendance at the frolic
the night before given by some of his
afrineds near the place of the finding
of the body. Other witnesses testi-
fed that they had heard fires of a gun
the night before. No wounds of a
gun shot variety were found upon
the body OF the negro. The coroner
did find that the skull of the negro
had been fractured by the blunt end
of some obstacle and was probably
the cause of the death.
1t is presumed that to hide the guilt
the murderer or murderers carried
their victim near the track in order
to place the responsibility en- the rail
road company However in the rush
to get to the track the dead negro's
hat was left behind and gave proof
that he had been killed by parties I'M
known so far. The sharif and his
deputies are on the search fer GER
tain persons supposed to know some
thing of the mysterious murder.

Victory OF Conservatives Means Close.
ed Door to the United StatesEAn-
~nexatiOn the BugabOO.
Montreal, Can, Sept, 21-The Lau-
rier government and reciprocity suf-
fered an overwhelming defeat in the
Canadian elections held today.
By a veritable political landslide
the Liberal majority of 43 was swept
away an dthe Conservative party Sc
cured n of the heaviest majerities
upwards OF so, than any Canadian
party has ever had. Seven cabinet
ministers who had served with Pre-
mier were among the defeated candi-
dates.
The Liberals lost ground in practi-
ca1ly every province of the Dominion
small. Where the Conservatives won.
Where they won their majorities were
their majorities were tremendous. On
tario, the leading province of Canada
declared almost unanimously against
the administration and reciprocity.
Robert L. Borden, leader of the
Conservative party, will shortly be-
come Prime Minister of Canada. He
will be supported in Parliament by a
Working majority of members for
more than ample for his purpose.
The government defeat means that
the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agree
ment, ratified by the American con-
gress in extra session, will not be in
troduced when the twelfth Parliament
assemblies next month and that a re-
yised basis of trade with the United
States looking to closer commercial
relations , will not be possible in the
immediate future. The Conservatives
are committed to a policy of trade ex-
pansion within the Empire and clos
ed door against the United States.
Although reelected in two constit-
lencies in Quebec, the defeat of the
Liberals also means the retirement
from public life of Sir WiIfrfd Lau-
rier, who TO rnearly two decades has
directed the destinies of the Domin-
ion.

Editor The Herald and News: l had
2 dream-a Christmas drean-and l
want to tell your readers about it:
T dreamed that there was a little
child living near me whose parents
were not able to buy it any toys Tor
Christmas, and that through my efforts
Santa Claus remembered that child.
And was happy. And even the recoi-
lection of that dream continues to
make me happy.
Did you ever think what Christmas
means?
Did you ever think that at Christ
mas time we are celebrating only the
birth of a baby?
Did you ever think that that baby
came not from rich parents; that that
baby was laid in a manger, because
there was not room for him and his
mother in the inn?
The gospel story is there, and it is
beautiful. Read it. The more you
read it the more good it will do you.
You can understand it. 1t IS simple,
so that even the children may under
stand; but it is so comprehensive that
if you were the most learned person
in the world, you couldn't add to 1t.
It is not long; briefly and simply it
tells the story Of the ages.
And, did you know, it tells only OF
the birth of a. babe-and of the birth
of a babe whose mother had to lay
him in manger because there was
not room in the inn for her and her
babe?
want to say something to you peo-
pie who have money.
Do you know what Christmas
means?
Did you ever see child looking into
the show windows and trying to keep
back the tears because the mother had
told it that the little money which II
would take to buy those toys had to be
used to buy bread and meat? Wnen
vo, come down town on Christmas
morning in your automoblles-you
who have money-have you ever
Thought that the loose change in your
pocket might make several children
happy?
Have you ever really thought about
what Christmas means?
Have YOU ever seen the weight OF
years bearing down heavily upon little
shoulders? Have you ever seen the
light go out from the eys of little ones
the glad light go out in the shadow
Of poverty?
You, who may be ruling elders or
6eacoos in YOUR church-have you
ever thought that possibly and prob

happiness of some little one or to1
the relief Of the distress of some little
ones mother, at this Christmas time
will count more for you in the day OF
reckoning than all the gold certificates
for which you may get credit on the
books of your church?
Think about it.
We are not celebrating at this time
the birth of one whose coming was at
tended by pomp or circumstance. He
was a king, it is true. But ne was
poor-very poor. His mother had tc

was not room in the inn for her and
! her babe.
Did YOU ever see the yearnlng OF
the years in child eyes? Did you ever
see burdens bearing down child shoul-
ders? Did you ever see a mother
struggling through binding tears to
bring to her child little OF the nap
piness which comes unsought to all
the other children in the neighbor-
hood?
! I wish l could write what l feel.
wish could tell you that your money
is the basest, most sordid thing in the
world, if you refuse 10 bring with 1t
HAPPINESS to some one this Christmas.
What's a. little money, anyhow? You
know you can't take it with you. II
YOU bury it with you it will rot. And
if YOU leave it here, others Will use
it. Very well; it is ones duty to seek
TO accumulate something and to seek
to provide for ones self and for ones
| family.
But listen:
When you come to the Judgment bar
which would you rather have to your
| credit: Would yor rather that the re-
cording angel should have you written
as one who made millions and who
supported we'll his church, or would
YOU rather that somewhere on the
book of light there should be simple
record that you have made some poor
child or some poor child's mother-or
perhaps both-happy at the Christmas
season?
You have it in your power-all OF
you readers of The Herald and News
each and every one of you can make
some child happy at Christmas time.
| Alexander the Great wept because
there were no more worlds to con-
ouer. Compare his record in the day
of final reckoning with the record OF
some one, however humble, who has
rekindled the glad light of the Christ
mas season in child eyes.
Which would you prefer when you
look into the eyes of the XII 3?
The age is money-mad. Money!
money! money! is the cry.
But, did you ever think-you who
have been so fortunate as to amass
some of this money-that the babe
whose birth We will soon celebrate
was the creator of all the wealth you
have labored to accumulate, and thai
when he was born his mother had tc
Law him in manger because there
was not room in the inn for her ano
her babe?
It's a very little thirg-to make
some child happy this Christmas, OF
some child's mother It's a little thing
But the light that will envelop you
from that child's eyes or from thai
mothers eyes, will shed upon you
glory which you could not buy with
million times the wealth of Rocke
feller.
Did you ever think how easy it is tx
do really great thinss?
Try it.
Read the gosrel sto>y. Read thu
record in which is told The story Of th:
birth of Jesus.
! Make some needy one happy thi:
Christmas. And when you have done
'lso, see how happy you will be.
