valuation the government
places upon the Negro as a
soldier when trouble is immi-

Against Mail Order Houses

There are but few editors in Our
,s.are who have not made vigorous
and continuous fight against the
city mail order house. This has
been done in the interest of the
home merchant, and without money
and without price. IF the editors
of the land had received regular
advertising rates for all they have
said against these enemies of the
country merchant they could now
be wearing diamonds. Now the
department store man appreciates
advertising space and is willing to
take all the average county editor
has for sale, and at a good place.
What other class of business or
professional man would refuse
business to help their friends,
especially as many of said friends
never seem in the least disposed to
return the compliment or even ap-
preaciate it.
