THE MAIL ORDER HOUSES
GETTING THE BUSINESS
WHY?

The Signal man was told several
times this week by some OF our mer-
chants that Il did not seem TO be
much use TO advertise as money was
scarce and the mail order houses
we're getting more orders than ever
before in the history OF Scurry eoun-
ty." One or two seemed to think the
Signal was not fighting these con-
Germs like II should" The Sgnal &C
kpowledges for the past few months
that II has had little to say about
the mall order houses, and we trust
that those who are guilty will be
equally as frank and acknowledge
that they have spent very little with
the Signal, either in advertising or
job printing. II the Signal is expect
ed TO fight foreign mail order con
Germs, II should be supplied with the
sinews OF war by those most interest
ed, and not be forced to bear the
burden alone. But" says one,
times are too hard, and money Is
SO scarce to do much Advertising
Well, let's see:
II is an acknowledged fact that the
mail order business Ia growing In
scurry county. II is almost double
that of last year, we are told. Why?
Simply because the mail order houses
are good rustlers and have flooded
the country with advertising matter
telling OF the wonderful bargains they
have to sell Not single order
would they have received from this
community, II they had not spent
some money in printers ink, and per
suaded the people to buy. The home
merchant can do the same If he Will

jorlty OF our people prefer TO buy
from the home merchant, and would
do 80, II the home merchant would
show them he wanted their trade
by publicly and privately soliciting

There are some men doing bust
ness. or more correctly speaking
their store building is opened regu-
iarly every morning for business they
don't get that haven't spent a dollar
in advertising for the past two years
Such men are unMally the loudest
knockers.
There are others who will put an
ad in the paper now and then and
expect Il to create a panic among
the people in their mad rush 20 get
into his place of business. About the
only panic Il causes Is In the compos'
ing room among the printers, who
are so afraid that the order Will be
countermanded before they get the
ad set up, they work themselves into
state OF mind wo call the "tgits

PROGRESSIVE PARTY REVIEWS
APPEAL FOR SOLID SOUTH
TO DISSOLVE.
7 THINK | MAY SAY T.
"Time and Again | Have Championed
the Interests of the South Against
Your Own Senators and Congress
men,"

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 2S.-Com.
ing into Alabama Colonel Roosevelt
t day renewed his appeal to the South
to support the progressive party.
The colonel reached, Montgomery at
6 o'clock and was still asleep when
a reception committee appeared to
take him to breakfast The colonel
knew nothing of the plans which had
been made to entertain him, and it
was nearly time or him to speak
when he started off with the commit
tee.
Colonel Roosevelt's speech was de-
livered in the rain. He stood On the
balcony of a hotel, with the rain beat
ing down upon him to a crowd in the
street below.
II you are against me" he said,
"I've nothing to say. The man whom
l am trying to reach is the man who
is for me, but votes against me be-
cause his grandfather and father voted
that way
"Tne way for you to honor your
forefathers is to face fearlesslv the
issues of the day.
Il want to see Alabama take its
part in national affairs as brilliantly
as it has done in the past. This can
hct be done as long as you do not
sace the live issues of the day
Il ask you &c Judge us not 11'y On
oar PROMISES, but on the individ''al
records of the candidates. Hiram
Johnson, our candidate for vice pres
ident, has done as governor of Cali
fornia what we are trying to in the
nation. And ask you to Judge my
promises by my deeds in the past.
think | may say that l was just as
much president of the South as of the
North. Time and again | have cham
pioned the interests of the South
against your own senators and con-
gressmen. The reason was that, in
stead of voting for the interests OF
the South, they kept their eye on me
and voted the way they thought their
grandfathers would have voted"

Colonel Roosevelt speak when his

BRUNSWICKIAN IN WRECK
ON SOUTHERN NEAR ROME
LOUIS MAYER, RETURNING FROM
VACATION, DESCRIBES WRECK
AS A BAD ONE.

Louis Mayer of this city, was ON the
southern railway train which was de-
rallied near Plainville station. Geor-
gia, Wednesday night, killing three
and seriously injuring eight other
passengers.
Mr.. Mayer was still showing traces
OF his experience when describing
the wreck to representative of The
News last night and stated that he
didn't expect to get his nerves back
for some time after witnessing such
scene of suffering and death.
Mr.. Mayer was in the Pullman when
the crash came and though badly
shaken up was not seriously injured
and when he recovered from the shock
and momentary excitement gave what
aid he could to the less fortunate. at
was awful, wrenched steel and man
gled humanity were strewn along the
right way for quite a distance"
said Mr.. Mayer in describing the
scene; people on every side begging
for assistance or crying out in their
misery and it seemed to me that quite
number were dead. The relief train
was long time coming and in the
meantime the suffering of the badly
injured is beyond my power to de-
scribe, but l hope l may never go
through another such experience"
After resting day and getting his
hQa rinO hank Mr. Mouor oapon An
to Brunswick, where, as he said last
night he "hopes to get the picture of
the wreck out of his mind"

INDICATIONS POINT TO A
LAIGE TOURIST TRADE
MANY APPLICATIONS BEING RE.
CElVED IN CITY FOR
APARTMENTS.

All indications point to the fact
that the coming tourist season will
be the largest in the history of Bruins
wick. A great deal Of the emigration
south the coming winter will be di-
verted to Georgia, and this section of
the state will come in for its full
share. The activity Of the board of
trade as well as individual firms and
the publicity being given the city by
railroads will all reflect to its profit
and growth.
The opening up of the farm land
in the vicinity of Brunswick will also
add largely to the population, and give
US a class of settlers that is credit
and an aid to any community.
The board of trade is receiving
numbers of communications daily re-
questing information or locations for
the winter, and the real estate men
are in receipt of more letters than
ever before at this time of the year,
which all goes to show that the COM
ing winter will bring record results.
The Oglethorpe hotel from present
indications will be filed TO capacity
before the season is well advanced.
Brunswick is finely located as a win
ter resort for northern people and
with the beautiful bay and good hunt
ing, fishing and boating present many
attractions for the tourists.
A campaign Of publicity for this
class OF travel would undoubtedly
bring good results and serve to ad-
vertise the city as well.

MEXICAN REVOLUTION LARGELY
KEPT ALIVE BY SHIPMENTS OF
MUNITIONS FROM U. S.
MUNITIONS SHIPPED MADERO
Mexicans Testify that If Ammunition
and Supplies Had Been Permitted
General Orozco, He Mould Have
Reached Mexico City.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. %. - The
United States senate sub committee
appointed to investigate relations
with Mexico has completed its work
here, and while its members are non
committal as to the subject matter OF
the report which they will submit to
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions, Senator William Alden Smith,
chairman of the sub committee, says
that it will embody evidence showing
that since the beginning of the Ma
dero revolution large quantities of
munitions of war have been shipped
into Mexico across the American bor-
der.
The report, it is said, will hold that
the evidence adduced points tc the
necessity for the United States to in
tervene in Mexico in order that Am
orleans and American interests may
receive proper protection.
Speaking Of the testimony, Senator
Smith said:
The testimony of every Mexican
whom We interrogated agreed upon
this one point
That if arms, ammunition and sup
plies needed in warfare were permit
ted to enter the country during the
Orozco rebellion, the same as they
were during the Madero revolution,
Orozco would have been in Mexico
City long ago. The rigid enforcement
of the law against the admission into
Mexico of firearms and ammunition
has been Orozcos greatest handicap.
