BLlSSFUL IGNORANCE,

Discussing the fact that "the
enormous campaign funds" of ns-
tional elections are distributed in
the so-called close of states of the
north and west, and that small if
any portion of them finds its way
into the south, the Durham Sun
says:
"'While the so:-thern states evil
IDENTIFY have never had their share
of the vast campaign funds, yet it
Is to their credit that no portion of
their population has ever been de-
bauched, bought and sold in blocks
of five or in blocks of any other
size, as was the case in other
states.
Would that we might share the
blissful ignorance of our contempt
rary in this respect; but we happen
to have the unfortunate habit of
reading the local newspapers of
Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia
and southwest Virginia, and 80 are
disqualified from hugging the flat
tering JUNCTION to our souls that the
south is altogether free from polit-
al bribery and corruption. Nor

UNFAIR.

The Republican, as a rule, does not
comment on a case pending in the
courts. and, for this reason has, so far,
said nothing about the so-called cleo
ton fraud cases in the court of Russell
county. 1t is reported that the grand
jury there has found indictments against
several parties, and the reports that
have reached here also say that more
democrats than republicans have been
indicted; and that the tenants and fore
men from the farms of Henry C. Stu
art were before the grand jury on last
Thursday that that body might investi-
gate the rumor that the tenants were
allowed their daily wage to go to
the rolls oD the 9Th of November aud
work for the election of General
Ayers, the democratic candidate for
| Congress. Be all this as it may, it is
manifestly unfair to presume that the
parties indicted are guilty until after
a fair trial in open court. Grand jury
actions are, by their very nature, more
or less Star Chamber proceedings, and
their results are not, of necessity, abso,
lutely conclusive. Some of the demo-
cratic papers of the state, however, are
apparently endeavoring to create the
impression that only one man, Hon. A.
P. Crockett, private secretary to Con-
gresham Slemp, was indicted; and, by
inference, that he is proven guilty with
out trial.
The Roanoke Times has been particu-
larry bitter in its attacks and, in its edi-
torial page, by infamous innuendo, en-
deavors to give the impression that
Congressman Slemp ls involved. 1t is
not of the these editorials, however, we
wish to speak, for we believe that there
are but few left In the Ninth who pay
the slightest heed to the idle vaporings
that emanate from the discredited fourth
page of the Times. But in the head
lines of its issue of last Sunday it said:
''Mr. Slemp's Secretary Intimates That
Both Parties We're Tarred With the
Same Stick" and, by inference, init
mate that Mr.. Crockett pleads guilty,
and, in extenuation of his acts, that the

During the present winter the agri-

copy of any local advertiser in the town
and will, no doubt, if you ask him, tell
you it has paid. The campaign he has
run for the past year has been very
similar to the one referred to last week
that brought such satisfactory results
to Mr.. OFT Hare, of Hamilton, Mo.
National advertisers are now recog-
nizing the fact that the country paper
is the best medium for reaching the
homes of the people. AS an example:
In April last the International Harvest
er Company made a trial of country
newspaper advertising, and as an ex-
pertinent, selected papers in twenty-one
states. At that time their advertising
manager wrote: This is our first ven
ture into weekly newspaper advertis-
ing, and we are awaiting the outcome
with considerable interest" The out
come was, that in their next order they
doubled the number of papers first used
and more than doubled their advertising
space, and wrote that they were much
gratified with the results. Their local
agent, the Star Milling Company, of
North Tszewell, advises us that the
campaign, advertising manure spread
ers, resulted in the sale of nearly car
load of spreaders in this county alone.
The example of the International
Harvester Company is rapidly being
followed by other national advertisers,
as there will be seen in this issue of
the Republican the advertisements of
Liggett & Myers; Fairbanks, Morse G.
Co.; Philadelphia Smelling & Refining
Co., and the Standard Oil Company, all
of whom have never before used coun-
try newspaper advertising space, while
others have appeared and still others
have contracted for space, and their ad-
vertisements will appear from time to
time.
If an advertisement in the Republi-
can will help such firms as these, why
won't one help you, Mr.. Country 'Mer-
chant?

A WORD TO OUR READERS.

In accordance with our usual custom,
and in order to give the office force an
opportunity. to enjoy the Christmas
holiday 9, no paper will be issued from
his office next week. This, then, will
e the last issue before the New Yea, ;
and between now and that time we will
lend each of our subscribers who msv
&c IN arrears, statement of their &c
count. This means an expenditure If
about thirty dollars for postage. ar
nearly as much more for stationery, e.
say nothing of the labor of sending ther g
statements out. Will you not then he'll,
US by looking at the date following you
name on the paper, which shows tn
year and month to which you have paid
and, If in arrears, remit at once and
s I'VE US sending you notice?
To explain sgain how the time of ex
piration of your subscription is express
ed: If the date following your name
roads, say, Feb. IL, it means that you
have paid up to February 1, 1912, and
owe for the current year-all subscrip-
tons, in order to keep correct accountr,
being dated from the first of the month
following the time you subscribed. This
makes it comparatively easy for the
subscriber to keep up with when his
is due, and will save us
considerable expense on sending out
statements.
As the paper is only a dollar a year
each time we have to write you is five
p cent of the amount due, and a heavy
tax on the paper to collect. So, now.
in the joyful holiday season make the
printers heart glad by paying hin
what you owe.

democrats were equally guilty; while in
the text following it will be seen that
Mr.. Crockett absolutely does not make
the statement the Times intimates; and
although he says he has heard that the
democrats used money corruptly, he is
fair enough to say that it is only ''hear-
say
Such perversion of the headlines of a
news article, to mislead the reader, is
only possible in such a manifestly unfair
and partisan organ as the Times. In
pleasant contrast to this is the editorial
utterance of another democratic paper
in Roanoke-the Evening World-which
says:
From all that we have been able
5 to gather concerning that campaign
1t was from start to finish excep-
tionaliy clean and fair and square.
Being under this impression we fail
to see where there are just grounds
for a contest. In our judgment
General Ayers, should he institute
contest, will be wasting time and
money. Democrats in Congress
have too large majority to view
with favor the claims of defeated

tions -
