(Marshville Home.

One of the most encouraging signs
OF the day is that real manhood and
true worth is coming to the 'front.'
that the world is learning to trust
and honor q man for what he is,
rather than for what denomination
al creed he happens to belong to or
what school Of partisan politics he
associates himself with. Character
and ability are the only true tests OF
any person. The Others are non-es-
sentials. 1t is a dangerous thing to
give man or woman a position OF
trust simply because he or she holds
certain political views or is identified
with a particular religious denomi-
nation. Yet there are people so mar
row and little and "swunk up" that
they are willing to sacrifice those
traits OF character and marks of
ability that would fit person for
big responsibility for the sake OF de-
nominationalism or political prefer
en- ces. Such a one is a menace to a
town or community and isn't fit to
have anything to do with electing or
employing a person to FILL public
Office or position. Don't understand
us to be arguing against church
work. We believe in that good and
strong, but it is the little ideas that
1--WE are the whole thing"-that Phar-
isaical feeling-that We are arguing
against, and this writer thinks
mighty little OF it, too.

MODERN MERCHANDISING.

There are still a few retail mer-
chants scattered around here and
there who think they can carry on a
successful and up-tO-date business
without spending any money in ad-
vertising. They proceed on the old
time, easy-going method OF letting
business come their way if it will, or
go in other directions from which
there is more attraction. They Sem
perfectly content to be classed with
the thriftless, catch-penny fellows
who have neither the energy, wis
dom nor ambition to get out and
hustle for business. The Concord
Times has the following to say with
reference to modern methods OF mer
chandising as compared with the old:
Our older men will recall a time
when buyers of manufactured goods
used to visit the factories to make
their purchases. Manufacturing then
was pretty we'll concentrated in the
Eastern States, and long and diff
cult journies we're taken to see the
goods personally.
A manufacturer OF those days
would have laughed at the idea that
he spend his good money in sending
out statesmen on costly iunketing
trips to Jolly up the retailers. He
was sure of a certain trade by sitting
in his tracks and waiting for the busi-
ness to come to his door.
Today the buyers sit down in their
stores and wait for the manufactu
rers to send statesmen to see them,
and however, assumes that the man
who thus fails to play the game of
modern merchandising lacks conf
dence in his goods, since he is not
willing to pay the ordinary expenses
of selling them.
The newspaper advertisement
serves with marvellous efficiency as
the retailers travelling salesman. 1t
tells his story to thousands of read
ers in the time a salesman would
spend talking to one customer.
Watch train load OF people when
the new periodicals are brought in.
Two out of three turn first to the
advertising. They read the stories
and articles a little afterwards, and
finally turn to the advertising again.
II YOU could enter the homes when
the local newspaper is distributed,
you would find a similar searching
scrutiny of the store news.
The reason is obvious. The gen.
eral news relates to things not di-
rectly connected with the personal
interest of the reader. The adver-
tising talks about ones every day
interest, like clothing and house fur
nishings and personal belongings.
1t appeals to the ever present de-
sire to live comfortably and attrac-
lively, and to reduce the cost OF iiv-
ing. How can people help reading
it?

The First Confederate Flag
"Furled, But Not Forgotten"

To the Editor: In discussing the
origin and history of the first Con-
federate flag some time ago in the
Wyoming hotel lobby here, l men,
toned to some that flag or model
offered to the committee appointed
by the Confederate Congress at Mont
gomery, was made by lady in Will
son county, at the suggestion Of Mr..
Orrin Smith, of Franklin county, N.
e., afterwards Major Smith, c. s. A.
CAS- stated this was accepted as
"The Flag" And / further stated
that the flag, a very large one, was
raised on the courthouse square in
Louisburg, on a cypress pole, about
100 feet high. This pole was after
wards cut down and used by the
Yankees for "old glory" at another
place. | stated that Mr.. Smith was
living; also Mr.. Perry, "the cham
pion speller Of the State" who was
present, together with the largest
crowd ever seen in Louisburg up to
that time, that they could find the
spot; that perhaps the old end of
the flag staff might be well preserved
cypress never rots under ground
and that this could be placed up
there in the museum at Raleigh and
in its place be placed a North Caro-
lima gray granite shaft with the Con-
federate flag furled around it, show
ing to the world the spot where the
first flag was raised, and that al
though ''furled, it is not forgotten"
| promised ST. for that fund. A Vir-
ginia gentleman, gave me his
name for 81 if anything was done to
mark the spot. Another from Reids-
vile said the same for him, making
$3 actually in my hands for the pur-
pose Will Louisburg give $50
and Franklin county commissioners
give $1OO, and if $50 others will give
one dollar each, making it a 81 sub
scription, and if the committee ap-
pointed should decide that $500
would not buy a suitable marker,
raise more. 1t can be done. And do
it while the gray is still a reality and
not one Of memory.
Now it is up to Louisburg and
Franklin county to have on her soil
an historical spot marked-and
marked forever By all means let
the spot be marked by a popular 81
subscription.

GEN. CARR FOR THE SENATE.
Considerable Pressure Beiug Brought
to Bear on Him and at the Proper
Time He VIII Enter the Race.
Durham Daily Sun. J

If representations and pledges of
support from prominent politicians
and men of influence who have been
directing the political battles of the
Old North State for many years
amount to anything, the successor to
F. M. Simmons in the Senate OF the
United States will be from the city of
Durham.
No official announcement of the
candidacy of the Durham man to
which the attention of the political
leaders is turning at this time has
been made, nor will this announce
ment be made for some time. But
when the proper time comes Durham
will have candidate for this high
office who, from present Indications,
will cause the other four candidates
already in the field considerable loss
of sleep. The candidate that Dur
ham will put forward will OF course
be General Julian S. Carr.
Letters have been pouring into the
office of General Carr for some time
from all parts of the State, from the
most prominent leaders of the poIiti-
cal hosts, urging him to get into the
race. General Carr has been quietly
viewing the storm that is brewing,
saying nothing and taking no steps
to put himself forward. To all who
have approached him he has had
nothing to say, and he has not
authorized any public statement to
be made OF his candidacy. At the
proper time this statement will be
made, however, unless the present
trend of things changes very mate
rally, and the fight for the high
office of representative Of the State
in the Senate will be five-cornered
instead of four-cornered, as at the
present time.
For some time there has been
growing in the State demand for
representative in the National gov
ernment who was a business man
and who at the same time could rep
resent the State with credit. There
is widespread sentiment against
men who make of politics a business
and who are inpolitics for what they
can get out OF politics.
That the candidate which Durham
will put forward is worthy in every
respect of the high office goes with
Que saying. For years he has been
laboring for the uplift and better
ment of the State and has been prom
inent in the leadership of practically
every movement that has served to
place the State in the front rankin
dustrially, morally and education
ally. He was mentioned in all parts
of the State as probable candidate
for the Senate long before any of the
other candidates announced them
selves. He has preferred to keep him
self in the background and there has
been much speculation as to his
probable attitude toward the Sena-
torship. All of this speculation can
now be set at rest. for it is positive
that he will be in the race when the
proper time arrives.

An Appeal to the Ladies.

Every lady in Henderson and
Vance county should read the arti-
Gle under the caption: "The Horse,
the Negro and the Groceryman,"
which appears elsewhere in these col
nmns over the nom de plume-"Tow-
zer's Friend" 1t calls attention to
the mistreatment OF the horse, which
80 commonly occurs, and suggests
that Il society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals should exist. Such
ali organization as this would no
doubt suppress much OF the cruelty
inflicted upon the poor, helpless
horse, which deserves the kind treat
ment from the hands of his master
and driver that the law requires.
Miss Cora Dow, Of Cincinnati, a
member of the Ohio Humane SOcie-
ty, is one of the few friends Of the
horse who has made that friendship
practical and helpful One day she
saw from her window an old horse
half shOd and half starved trying to
pull two-horse load on a slippery,
ley street, while the burly scoundrel
OIL driver was kicking him and lay
Ing on the whip. Miss Dow walked
straight over and in the simplest,
most direct terms, laid open his
brutality to his astonished, yet un-
believing gaze, and, in turn, was ad-
'lset to go home and wash her dish
Is, She declined to act ON the sug-
gestlon, but acted very promptly on
a sudden idea of her own. When
that man left the police Judge he re-
iuetantly left $40 bill behind him
i9r good luck, but he had a new idea
about horses and about the men,
oers OF the Humane Society.
Miss Dow got out folder on which
was this: "a square deal for the
horse. We believe every horse de-
serves three ample meals daily; wa
yer frequently; proper shoes; blank
ct III cold weather; two weeks va
cation annually. Throw away the
whip"
She sent the circulars out to the
'oo firms with which she does bust

1t is estimated by those in position
to know that there has been planted
in North Carolina this season some
thing like 250,000- acres in tobacco.
Last year the acreage was 100000
and the crop was 129, 100000
pounds. The planting this season
has been rather late on account of
the dry spring. During the dry
weather earlier in the season for
transplanting many plants were set
out and watered rather than wait
for rains when there were plants in
the beds ready for transplaRting.
Stands are much better than expect
ed under the circumstances.

CANAL THREE-FOURTHS DONE.
End Of Seventh Year Finds Three.
Fourths of Excavation Completed
aud Cement Work Half Finished.

The end of the seventy year ofwork
on the Panama canal by the United
States, on May 4, found three-fourths
of the excavation completed. There
have been 38,OOO,00O cubic yards
OF the isthmus shifted by American
steam shovels and excavators, leav-
ing only A, 100000 cubic yards OF
digging to be done The placing of
concrete, used in construction of he
locks for the canal, is 80 per cent az
complished. There have been placed
2,153,386 cubic yards OF concrete,
out of a total OF 4,2S4,OO0 cubic
yards.
The installation OF the lock gates
has been begun, and the machinery
for the operation of the gates and
the towing OF ships will shortly be
put in position. The lock gates are
immense steel structures, for the
handling of which special machinery
has been devised. The locks at Pedro
Miguel are nearing completion, while
those at Miraflures are we'll under
way and will advance rapidly as soon
as the mixing and handling plant
for the concrete is established.
In connection with the excavation,
a new development during the II
months just ended was the increase
in the number of slides in Culebra
cut, the biggest excavation the
world has ever known. The banks
have broken in % places in dis
tance Of nine miles in this cut, neces-
stating an addition OF 6,1O4 900
cubic yards to be excavated. The
slides cause no apprehension for the
future, as after the locks are COM
pleted. it will be possible to concen-
trate the dredges for removal OF the
material that remains and which
may slide in.
Half of the remaining A, 100000
cubic yards Of excavation to be done
is in Culebra cut. The rate Of exca
vation in this cut has increased by
million cubic yards a year, until dur
ing the IL months just ended 49,
925,97 cubic yards were taken out.
