SOLID PLATFORM FOR SOUTHERN PRO-
GRESS.

Amid the tumults and shoutings
Of party politics it is a relief to re-
member that
The south has So, 397, OOO, 900 in
vested In manufacturing enterpri-
ses, producing annually to the value
OF $500, 000, 900, and should double
these figures in the near future.
The south has $40, 962, 600, 600 in
vested IN agriculture, yielding So
OoO' 600, 900 annually, and has uncut
tlvated farm lands capable of yield
ing quite as much again.
The south is producing $780,
OOO, worth of minerals a year. 1t
can easily produce $1,000, 600, 900
worth. Of $50, 900, 900, 900 tons of
Its coal, for instance, nearly $780,
600, 200, 900 tons are still to be
mined. If it could mine as much
coal as the whole world is produc-
ing, or about 1000, 900, 900 tons a
year, its supply would still last 500
years. 1t has three-fourths the
coking coal of the United States.
The south has $1,000 miles of
railroads. 1t will need $50, 900 miles
of railroads.
with population of SO, 900, 900,
or II, 100000 less than the popula-
ton of the whole country in 1880,
the south has more capital invested
IN manufacturing than the United
States had in 1880, and is producing
more from its farms and mines and
cutting more timber than did the
United States 80 years ago. Indi-
vldual deposits in national banks IN
the south are today S83, 900, 900
greater than the amount of such de-
posits in the national banks of the
country in 1880.
These are a few planks in the
solid platform for southern pro-
gress, regardless of party politics."
The foregoing from the Manufactur.
rs Record, of Baltimore, Md, is a gooC
enough platform for any southerner t.
itand upon, regardless of political par
y. In fact, it has too long been char
lcteristic of this section to let politica
prejudice prevent the exercise of bust
less sagacity, and it is essential to oul
continued commercial success that it be
'een that the continuation of the policy

IS shown above were made possible, be
he main plank in Tire platform OF he
'arty to which we give our suffrage
his fall. A good slogan 70. the south
would be: Protection essential tc

The Progressive Farmer.
The following experience of our Mr..
y. A Martin should carry its own les
son with it, and is lesson many farm
ers need to learn:
The other day was coming out of the
postoffice with big bundle of mail in
my hand. A friend stopped me for a
chat and during the conversation saw
his eyes riveted upon the top envelope
OF the mail l was holding. looked.
too, and some breeder of Duroc-J ersey
hogs had written US a letter There.
upon the envelope, saw in red ink.
printed upon neat but in expensive
paper the picture of beautiful Duroc-
Jersey boar. Over the cut were the
words, Return in five days to- and
} under the cut was the name and address
OF the writer saying that he was q
breeder of Duroc-Jersey swine, Shrop-
shire sheep and Rhode Island chickens.
The man to whom / was talking said:
BY Jimminy, I've been looking for a
Duroc-Jersey man, and he took the
name and address When opened the
mail, found two other advertisements
of the very same breed of hogs-only
the letter was written on plain sta
tionery-and one of them with q hard
lead pencil. Thus, one man probably
made a sale that would pay for his entire
statlonery-and the other fellows miss
ed chance because they had economic
ed by using cheap, nameless paper and
envelope
Even if Mr.. Martins friend had known
that the other breeders had Durocs for
sale, the probability is that he would
have written first to the man who used
good stationery, just as anyone else
would. That breeder does not have
business stationery indicates first of all
to the man who gets letter from him
that he is not much of a breeder any,
way. Then he has to waste energy to
prove this impression wrong.
By all means, if you are a business
farmer-as, of course, you are-have
some stationery printed telling just
what your line of farming is. You do
not need anything fancy-certainly no
''frills," nor do you need expensive sta
tionery; but good neat paper you must
have, and good neat printing you should
insist upou.
Mr.. I. B. Parker sent us the envelope
upon which the following card was
printed:

The recent democratic and republican
national conventions were conspicuous
for a good many things, but it is doubt
full if anything has impressed the nation
more than the heated language employ
ed by many of the speakers of the con-
tending factions, and the turbulence
sometimes displayed. The over-free
Indulgence in explosives and outbursts
were, perhaps, the natural result of
campaigns that were marked by an un-
usual amount Of personal detraction.
but none-the-less the spectacles were
anything but edifying and in time none
will regret it more than those who en-
gagged in it. Evidently many people
have yet good deal to learn in the way
of courtesy, moderation and respect for
others convictions where politics are
concerned. All this can be said without
bias for, unfortunately, conventions and
other gatherings of political parties
have not unoften shown the same heat
and passion as that witnessed in Chi
cago and Baltimore, but those conven-
lions being of national character great
er prominence has naturally been given
to what people of every shade of poll
tics must deplore.

TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING.

AT recent business mems conven.
ton the point was emphasized that ad.
vertisements placed by merchants il
their local papers should tell facts. snc
facts only, about the goods they Offer
for sale.
Perhaps that admonition is necessary
in some places, but, as rule, that is
just what advertisers do. and in so do
ing they act very differently from mail
order houses and other firms that mis-
lead customers by their misrepresenta-
tions as to the quality and other feat
ures of their goods.
There are two features that impel q
local merchant to be honest in his ad-
vertising. The first and most impor-
tant, and it is as creditable as it is i'm
portant, is the business probity of the
merchants. Generally they are men of
business principle, but keen in an hon.
est sense.
Then, TO well nigh every business
man who may be tempted to picture his
wares in false colors, there comes as an
effective deterrent the knowledge that
advertising falsely will react upon him
self with deadly force. The dishonest
merchant may by specious advertising
fool the people once or twice to his fl
nancial gain, but ultimately the custom
er knows he is being cheated and when
he knows that the merchant might as
well close his doors. The mail order
firm is not thus affected, at least not to
the same extent, because its constit-
uency is practically unlimited, while
that of the local merchant is limited al
most entirely to his own immediate
neighborhood.
If local merchant fails to succeed in
his business the fault is not due to false
description of goods but rather to a fail
ure to recognize the value of generous
and attractive advertising. A small,
obscure and never varied ad does not
attract customers.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1912-07-04


Isn't that good advertisement, al
well as guarantee of quality?
Here is another story told by Mr.
Martin:
Recently was waiting for a trair
at Tupelo, MISS. Standing on a truck
IN front of the express office saw in g
crate beautiful Collie puppy and g
Berkshire pig-one in each end of the
crate. Tackled upon the crate was an
attractive shipping tag, giving the name
of the shipper, stating that he was a
breeder of Berkshire swine, Homer pig
cons, Collie dogs, and Indian Runner
ducks. saw no less than a dozen
people walk up look at the puppy and
pig and then take out pencil and paper
and write down the address given on the
tag"
Did that mans bill for printing prove
profitable investment?
Give the farm name, put the name
on your letter-heads and envelope, and
as a label on the things you sell, and see
if it does not make you feel little bit
prouder of your business and keep you
eager to justify the name. Here is a
good form:

The pleasant decisions that people
have are shattered one by one. Many
have slipped their coffee with all the
more relish because they fondly believe
it was the far-famed Mocha. Now it is
said authoritatively that no coffee has
come from Mocha for two hundred
years. Still, as Shakespeare says that
"a rose by any other name smells as
sweet" so in time coffee drinkers who
have sworn ny Mocha will find that the
beverage by any other name will be
gust as fragrant, enjoyable and simulat-
ing.

The strength and stability of a nation
rest IN its homes and not upon battle
ships and huge cannons, large armies
and mighty navIes. Especially is this
true in a republic where citizenship
counts for more than monarchy. The
home, because of its ties and associa-
tons, is the most powerful institution
IN the world and when it's atmosphere
is filed with love and helpfulness there
is nothing under heaven so beautiful.
So mighty and sacred is the home that
1t is free from all intrusion. The presi-
dent of the United States is by virtue of
his Office, if for no other reason, the
most exalted person in the land and
possessed of well nigh kingly powers.
But even the president cannot enter the
humblest cottage except by consent of
its owner.

"U-huh," responded Mrs. Merriwid,

"And they're not only cleaning the
alley every morning, they're sweeping

mot to speak of the arc light at
the corner and having a policeman
put to patrol our part of the avenue"
Aunt Jane concluded, a note of tri-
umph in her voice.
IF Mr.. Mickser were really devoted,
he'd patrol the avenue in the Silly
watches of the night, himself" said
Mrs. Merriwid. "My heart begins to
tell me that he's only a four-fusher
after all"
well, as I've remarked before, you
are hard to please said Aunt Jane.
Il should think it would be highly
gratifying to have everything done for
you the moment you express a wish.
1t isn't every woman whose admirer,
however devoted is in q position Of
such power as to enable him to do
such things"
THAT is no premeditated falsifica-
tion," admitted Mrs. Merriwid. You
rang the little bell that time, dearie.
Mr.. Mickser certainly has something
of drag. 1 believe when he adjusts
his block and tackle to public serv-
ice corporation and leans his manly
bulk against the windlass, he usually
