Penn & Holstein.

The attractive interior of Penn
& Holstein's drug store, with its
modern display cases and beautiful
assortment of fancy articles in addi-
ton to the usual large stock Of
drugs, would do credit to a large
city. Within the past year or two
this popular store has added jewel
ry and silver ware to its stock, pre-
senting a large assortment from
which to select wedding and other
gifts. The advance guard of their
large holiday stock is arriving.
Drop in to sea the new arrivals.
From their large stock of jewelr!
Penn & Holstein have set apart a
beautiful solid gold brooch to be
awarded this week in the contest.
The announcement of how it will
be awarded will be found elsewhere
in this issue.

Confidence in The Advertisers Manage
ment.

The subscription contest which
The Advertiser is now conducting
has impressed us with two things
for which we are deeply grateful.
First, it has been a means of show
ing what implicit confidence me
people of the county have in The Ad-
vertiser's management. By letters
and in person, numbers Of persons
have assured US that no one ques-
tions the management of any enter
prise conducted under our direction,
feeling confident that all who are
in any way connected with the con-
test will receive absolute justice.
Another thing for which the man
agement of The Advertiser il deep
ly appreciative is the almost uni
versal popularity ofthe paper. The
young lady contestants repeatedly
say they are very cordially received
BY those who are in arrears and
that they experience but little diff
Guilty in placing the paper in homes
that have not heretofore been re-
ceiving The Advertiser. AS these
young ladies go up and down their
respective communities they hear
only kind words for The Advertiser
and its management.
We are very grateful for these
kindly expressions concerning The
Advertiser but really are not sur
prised, for if this newspaper has
been anything at all for the past de-
cade and more it has been friend
of the people. 1t has not lost an
opportunity to protect and promote
the peoples interests. During the
past f.e years it has spent several
hundred dollars in actual cash in
it's efforts to advance the agri-
cultural interests of the county.
Just what has been accomplished in
this particular we will let others
say. Within the next few days
the cash prizes for this years corn
contest will be paid. All of the
reports are not yet in.

An old negro parson in South
ern church WAS denouncing theft to
his congregation. when he said.
If there is any member of this
congregation who is guilty of theft,
he had better repent at once and
be saved" :"
On his way home he was stopped
by old Rastus, wlo had listened to
the sermon intently.
Don't you think, parson, that
next Sunday will do just as we'll as
tonight to repent?" asked Rastus.
But Rastus, why not repent TO-
night and be saved, MANI"
Well parson, it's this way" e.,
planned Rastus, / want just one mo-
chicken fo' tomorrow dinner, and l
know wha I can get dat chicken
wild out helm caught" F"
Well" said the parson, hesitat,
ing l don't know what TO cay, so ]
think / will take dinner with you
tomorrow and then talk the matter
over with you" From National

High Living in New York.

Eggs are selling in New York at
rs cents dozen. We had an idea
that eggs in Union at 80 cenrs was
pretty stiff. Eggs in New York 6 LA
cents apiece. A certain old colored
man of the writer's acquaintance
thinkspothing of scrambling a dozen
eggs and sitting down and eating
them all at one meal, to say nothing
of several generous slices of bacon
and half a dozen biscuits. Yet some
people think New York great place
to live!-Union Times.

Honesty Preferred to Riches.

Poverty is no disgrace, but it is not
a matter for congratulation or to
boast of or desire. A good many peo-
pie are poor from laziness; others by
misfortune. Honesty has kept some
men poor; but honesty with poverty is
to be preferred to riches with dishones-
ty, though it is hard to make many
people believe it. .-Newberry Observer.

A traveller in Indiana noticed
that farmer was having trouble
with his horse. 1t would start, go
slowly for a short distance, and
then stop again. Thereupon the far
mer would have great difficulty in
getting it started, says Godby's
Magazine. Finally the traveller ap-
preached and asked solicitiously:
Is your horse sick?"

.Co-Workers Rather Than Competitors.
1t is quite unusual to see such
pleasant relations existing between
two newspapers IN the same field as
exist between The Chronicle and
The Advertiser. Their relations
are practically those of co-workers
rather than competitors This has
been true in the past and we trust
that it will always be the case.
Through singular coincidence,
rather than by design, both papers
recently signed contracts with COM
panies for conducting subscription
contests, and while the conducting
of two contests in the same field at
the same time is without precedent
in this part of the country, yet they
are both being conducted upon a
high plane and without the slight
est friction. Indeed, the young la
dies of beth contests are in some
instances assisting each other, which
is striking instance of practical
reciprocity.
While holding two contests at
the same time may for some rea-
sons seem to be unfortunate, it ap-
pears that both will be success.
The contest of The Advertiser has
reached the stage which assures
even a greater success than the
one we conducted three years ago,
and 80 far as we know the contest
of our contemporary will likewise
be as great success.
We have called attention to the
two contests simply to show how
harmonious are the relations that
exist between the two papers. In
some towns in the state the local
papers are constantly at war with
each other, which is extremely un-
fortunate, both for the papers them
selves and for the towns in which
they are located.

The cotton crop of 1911 will
probably go down in history as the
largest ever made, and it will like
wise be said hereafter that the mar
keting, season OF 1913 was the best
on record for the cotton grower.
The farmers, even the small far
mers, have received good price
from the day the market opened in
August. The heavy sales during
the bank-note-maturity season of
October and November had no very
appreciable effect in depressing the
price. In many respects 1913 has
been a good year for the tillers of
the soil, Notwithstanding the l3 "

SUPREME COURT DOES NOT VARY
IN RAILROAD RATE DECISION.
UphoIds State Legislation in Missouri, Ar
kansas, Oregon and W. Virginia, Includ-
ing the Two=Cent Passenger Laws
kentucky Case Not Decided.

Washington, June 1T-Wilhout vary
ing a dot from the principle laid down.
last week, in the Minnesota rate cases,
tn supreme court Of the United States.
Monday upheld state railroad rate leg
islation in Missouri, Arkansas, Oregon
ami West Virginia This legisla ton
included two-cent passenger laws in
Missouri. Arkansas and West Virginia /,
maximum freight rate laws in Missouri
ana Arkansas and freight rates out of
Portland in the Oregon cases. The on
ly exception to the sweeping approval
of state statutes was in thc~case of
several weaker roads in Missouri.
Tie Kentucky case was not decided
It involves an attack upon state rates
from river points to inland districts
and involves an attack upon the con-
stitutionality of the form of the Nc
commission to fix reasonable rates
on interstate commerce. A decision in
thiA case may be forthcoming when
the court meets again in October.
Justice Hughes announced the de-
cision of the rate cases, today, as he
did in the Minnesota cases, week
ago.
Wherever the point was raised that
the state law interfered with inter-
state commerce the justice referred TO
his Minnesota rate decision. He dis
appointed any who believed the court
might in some way modify that de-
cision.
The oregon and West Virginia
cases were decided in favor of states
in a few words the only point raised
by the railroads being that the laws
interfered with interstate commerce.
Justice Hughes went fully into an
examination of claims in the Missouri
and Arkansas cases that the property
of the railroads devoted to intra-
state business would be confiseated,
AS a result the state rates will be-
come operative on the Chicago. Bur
