What Catalogue Houses Do No, Do.

/
The retail catalogue houses do not
buy the farmers produce.
They do not help to educate the
farmers children.
They do not pay any taxes in your
community.
They do not help support your
schools, churches, and charitable insti-
buttons.
They don't help build your roads or
care for your streets.
They do not show you goods before
you pay for them.
They do not advocate the building up
of country towns
They do not oppose the Capitalization
Of business in The large cities.
They do not buy your grain, butter,
cheese and stock from pictures and
pay in advance the same as you do.
They do not buy anything from the
farmer or consumer from picture.
They do not spend dollar Of their
money with the farmer or consumer.
They do not furnish employment to a
single resident of your community.
They do not extend to you credit. as
does the local merchant, when you are
hard up.
They do not sympathize with you
at time when you have sickness in
your family.
They do not sympathize with you
when your wife and baby are taken
from you.
They do not want TO see your local
merchant prosper in business.
They do not do anything for anybody
except themselves.
Does the small city, town or village
ever see dollar Of their money?
The above, it would seem. shows
good and sufficient number Of reasons
why this mail order octupus should be
left severely alone by both the farmer
and the residents of small cities and
towns who have thoughtlessly lent it
their patronage.
1t is spreading out over the land,
daily gaining in strength and magni-
tude and gradually but surely sapping
the lifeblood of the small communities,
reducing property values, endangering
local investments and causing condi-
ton of chaos and misery everywhere.

The Quality the Doctor
Demands

Doctors buy Rubber Goods here
because they can find here the kind
of goods they want. They also
send their patients to us because
their patients can find the kind of
goods the doctors want them to
buy.
Our rule in buying Rubber
Goods is to buy the best that are
made for strength, finish and weav-
ing quality, and therefore we have
the kind that the doctor and every
one who knows good Rubber
Goods demands. Our prices are
extremely low.

The annual production exceeds
twenty million dozen eggs-nearly
eighty eggs apiece each year for ev-
cry rerson-man, woman and child
lin Georgia.
The market value OF these eggs
reaches about four million dollars.
The annual poultry production is
a little below two million, valued at
about four million dollars.
So each year Georgia sells eight
million dollars worth Of eggs and
fowls.
And still we sent to Tennessee for
turkeys and chickens and to the
Northern cold storage firms for eggs.
Is it because Georgia products are
not sold in Georgia? Who can give
the answerb-Macon News.

WHAT PEOPLE
Are SAYING

In late issue of your paper, under
the caption, Election Lessons" you
say, editorially:
AS result of the Jast election, the
conclusion is also forced that in the
future the Democrats must fight the
Socialists with as much vigor as they
have fought the Republicans"
The awakening was, doubtless, a
rude one, but we had credited the Ex-
press with greater political perspicac-
ity. Eight years ago few score Soc
ialists in Grady county told the peo-
pie the difference between the two
old parties was indiscernible, with the
most powerful microscope and that
the future fight would center around
Socialism. OF course they were scott
ed at, for the average voter reminds
one Of the scriptural saying. "Oh fools
and slow of heart can yet not discern
the signs of the times?" The result
at the polls the last election, showed
that over twelve hundred Socialists in
Grady county have bid long farewell
to the powers of plunder and putrid-
ity and have cast in their lot with the
party OF their class, the Socialist
party. And already plans have been
laid by them for the campaign two
years hence.
Now just friendly suggestion to
the Democrats We would suggest
that you gather up the bedraggled
corpse lately known as the Republican
party in Grady county. to which such
another beautiful kick was adminis-
tered on the Sd inst, that you breathe
INTO its nostrils the breath Of life, re-
store its paralyzed faculties, revive its
cid yoracious appetite for the flesh
pots of pfficc, tthe last should be
easyl anu get il in shape to stagger
up to the firing line with you in 1916,
for, mark it, gentlemen, you will need
him In your business If you want to
beat the Socialists at the next cleo
tion. You may smile again, just as
you have smiled in the past, but re.
member you are losing good Demo
Gratis every day and we are getting
them. So be warned in time. Remem
ber what Napoleon said Of the Bour.
bons: "They have forgotten nothing
for the reason they never learned any
thing"
SO when you start out to fight the
Socialists vigorously we will be pleas
I'd and willing TO meet YOU more than
half way. Like the late Admiral Grad
dock, we believe. when YOU meet the
enemy. engage him" The issue from
this time forward in Grady county is
Socialism. You will find that, what
ever our faults are, cowardice is not
one Of them. So in the words OF
