! YES. IT'S EASY!

Did you ever count the words in
a column of ordinary newspaper
print? There are 1900 to 1000 in
column. Suppose you sit down
and write a-thousand words on some
subject, and then another thousand
on another until you have written Is
or 20 thousand. Try it and see if
tits right easy. Keep that gait for
month. Then chase a local item
all over town and after you have
gotten the facts all right. condense
them in a few lines, an hours work
that can be read in a few seconds.
Do this for a dozen items that seem
insignificant after they are printed.
but which you know are important;
then have the items criticised and
inaccuracies pointed out to you
when it is too late to correct them.
Oh, yes, it is easy.

1T is not the critic who counts
not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the
doer of deeds could have done them
better; the credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena, whose
face is marred by dust and sweat
and blood; who strives valiantly,
who errs and comes short again and
again, because there is no effort
without error and shortcoming, but
who does actually strive to do the
deeds; who knows the great enthusi-
asm, the great devotions; who
spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement
and who at the worst, if he fails. at
least fails while daring greatly, so
that his place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who
know neither victory nor defeat. -

WOULD YOU?

If you had a highly. intelligent
thoroughbred horse, to whom you
were greatly attached, what would
you do for him in order to bring him
to the highest point of efficiency?
Would you teach him, at great
inconvenience and after many repi-
titions to smoke from ten to fifteen
cigars a day, and would you mix
with his oats all the way from a
pint to a quart of alcohol? Would
you reinforce this by overlooking
his stomach with highly spiced
food, and add all the narcotics that
were in the market, such as tea,
coffee, etc? Would you keep him
in heated stable, without fresh air,
make him sit up at all hours of the
night. and permit all the veterinari-
ans in the neighborhood to hold
consultations and operate upon him
as often as they needed the money?
And if you did all this, what sort
of a race would you expect that
horse to win?-Fraternal Record.

GET YOUR ADS IN ON TIME

With the exception of the larger
and better organized Advertising
Departments, there is tendency to
wait u1til the very last minute to
get advertisements in to the
papers.
This is an injustice to everybody
concerned. 1t is beyond the power
of man to run any big business
without occasional'mistakes creeping
in. TO make mistakes is human;
to guard against them is wisdom.
When in your ad it appears Re-
gular 75c Caps for 25c,' and you
intended the price to be SIC, it's very
bad. You do not want to take ad-
vantage of the newspapers mistake;
neither do you want to stand the
loss. The mistake occurred because
the figures were transposed, which
quite often happens.
It's hest to see proofs of all your
ads. To get proofs, copy must be
in on time.
Ads sent in the day of issue are
an abomination unto the Lord. Copy
in too late to see proofs, and if the
paper makes a mistake it will 90
! through. Send your ads in at least
the day before issue. This will en-.
able you to get proofs and make
any necessary corrections or iinpor-
tant changes. The buyer or adver-
Using manager who can not see this
far ahead in the conducting and
planning Of business is certainly
near-sighted.
So if you are after efficiency in
your advertising, get your ads in
early. And it is fact that you are
often favored with position, and gel
in all the early mail editions, just
because your ads are in before the
other fellows.

THE CURSE OF BOOZE

Whiskey is a curse to the country.
1t has caused more suffering, ruin
and death than any other thing 1t
was a good day for North Carolina
when the demon was legislated out
of its borders 1t took three years
or more for the people to get used
to it and longer for some people to
realize that whiskey was no good
and today the consumers in North
Carolina are getting less and less.
Take right here in High Point one
hardly ever sees a drunk man now
whereas a year or more ago even
there were frequent drunken brawls
The fact stares one in the face that
the people are coming to themselves
have concluded that it is a curse
and are cutting it out. Of course
there are exceptions but North Caro-
lima in a few years will look with
horror on any man that uses the
deadly and poisonous intoxican.s
The evil effects of whiskey was
amply demonstrated last week ir
the Clay Grub affair when the wife
and mother was obliged to kill the
husband (who was beastly drunk)
in, order to save her own life. xxi

WHO PAYS The COSTS?

Who stands the cash? Who bays
the bill? Who feeds drunkard's
children? Who provides for the
drunkard's broken-hearted wife!
Who supports the beggarly tramps,
who, having wasted their money in
drink. wander about the country?
Who repairs the losses caused by
the failure of Incorporate merchants
and reckless and half intoxicated
business men? Who makes good
the damages caused by the plumbers
Of drunken workmen and the hind
rance of business caused by the
sprees of Incorporate employees?
Who pays for the railroad wrecks
caused by drunken conductors and
engineers? Who builds the asylum
where the crazy drunkards are
kept? Who supports the idotlc
ehildren of drunken parents? Who
says the attorneys and juries and
Judges to try drunken criminals?
Who pays the expenses of trials and
commitments and executions &C.
casioned by the crimes of drunken
men? Who pays for the property
destroyed and burned by drunken
men? Who builds and supports
almshouses, which but for drink
might remain unoccupied? Who
endures the suffering and losses and
brutality which are due to the
recklessness and insanity of drunk
en- husbands and fathers? Who
pays for the inquests held on drunk
ards found dead by the wayside?
Who pays for pauper's coffin and
digging a drunkard's grave in pot
ter's field, when the last glass has
been drunk?
Who pays the bills? The drunk
ard cannot, for he has wasted his
substance in the cup. Viii the
rumseller pay them? The fact is,
you and l, the sober, Industrious,
toiling portions of the community
must meet all these bills. The
drunken rowdy. wounded in the
street fight is cared for in the city
hospital at our expense; the drunk
en- beggar is fed from our table; his
hungry children come to our door
for bread, and we cannot refuse as
sistance to his suffering wife; and
when at last, having wasted his
substance in riotous living. he
comes to the aims house. the asylum,
the hospital or the prison, honest,
sober. temperate men pay the bills
for supporting him there. There is
no escaping it. We may protest, we
may grumble at taxes, and find
fault with beggars, but ultimately
and inevitably we. must foot the
bills.
