D. A. r. Garden Party.

With background Of vines, shrub
berry, blooming flowers and crepe myr-
tie trees, Mrs. C. X. WaddilPs spac-
ious lawn was beautiful setting for
the D. A.. R. garden party, given on
Tuesday afternoon.
Those receiving in very informal
manner were Mrs. Waddill, Miss Ma
bel McIver and Mrs. E. F. Mulloy.
The many. guests, in their filmy,
light colored gowns, enhanced the
beauty of the scene as they strolled
about enoyingi the hospitality of their
hostesses, who wore dresses that
were cool in coloring and most appro-
pirate for a warm August afternoon.
Punch tables, on either side Of the
lawn, were presided over by Misses
Elise Duvall, Susie McIver, Katie
Harrall and Mrs. Edwin Malloy and
the punch, served with block cakes,
was SO rfreshing that some OF the
guests took advantage of both tables,
going in on one side and coming out
on the other.
One of the attractions of the party
was the circular lilly pond situated
farther back, with its gold fish dart
ing here and there, adding life to the
blossom-cov water.
A silver plate, placed under a
Japanese parasol at the entrance to
the Ilwn, received the I'silydr-tea'
offerings" of those attending the party

The professor General Carr quotes
must have but limited sources of in
formation, for the McCombs articles
are appearing in many, of Nthe lead;
ing Southern papers, which were
probably moved to embark upon that
line of publication for the same rea-
son which moved The Observer-the
belief that they were giving their
readers something they wanted: the
story of the circumstances leading up
to the break between President Will
son and Chairman ;McConta. But
that point is immaterial. 1t had not
mattered to The Observer whether
all the papers were publishing the
matter, or whether none was printing
it. We have never set our course by
what other papers might do or might
not do. Nor is it our intention to
undertake defense or justification. 1t
Is to make plain statement that pub
lication OF the McCombs article has
proved a. venture of such unpopularl-
ty as to induce discontinuance.
The people who know this papers
championship Of former President
Wilson know that it stood for no
endorsement Of the article-it daily
prints features and carries !nforlna-
ton Of various sorts to which 1t Is
in no way committed. Service 70 t9N
public, howevef, covers broad
SCOPE and necessarily embraces more
or less discussion. of public affairs
and public men that is out Of line
with the editorial policy Of the paper.
In the instance of the McCombs let
ters we have to confess to an error
in Judgment, so far as meeting the
tastes OF our readers in that parti-
cular is concerned The dirty linen
is retired to the privacy of the back
yard.
And in this incident, in which re-
cord is made of the Southern pulse
beat, one may see clearly established
wonderful tribute to the fame and
record of Woodrow Wilson.-Char-

phires. emeralds and pearls, are be-
ing worn, half dozen to dozen on

The long coat of a gray cloth suit

inch of the bottom of the wearer's
skirt. The coat was lined with tan
gerine silk. which also appeared as
facing for the slashed pockets, maxi
ing an effective color note.
The cool weather prevailing dur,

Do You ADVERTISED i,l5l

We are sure that every business
man will agree that advertising pays
but some business men feel that this
is not true of their own business. We
had, called to our attention, how a
noted business man advises men or
this belief. He says "lf you have a
business that you can't advertise, ad-
vertise it for SALE"
He meant 6y this If your business
was such that advertising wouldn't
help it that business was surely a
business that couldn't grow, there
fore sell out
No business is too big or too small
to be advertised and for proof OF the
former we point you to any success
full big business in this or any other
country. The Standard Oil Co., is
advertising in this paper and in al
most every county paper in the state.
The little businesses that advertise
DON become big businesses. You can
read the history of the business that
started small and grew large and the
secret of it's success is always adver-
tising.
Ministers are even advocating the
advertising Of the Fourth Command
ment because they see the effect OF
the advertising of Sunday amuse-
ments. ...
If you are Banker, Lawyer, Doc
tor, Store Keeper, your success sure
ly depends on how much you adVer-
tise.

A STATEMENT.

The Observer last Sunday published
! the third installment of the McCombs
autobiography. 1t believed when 1t
contracted for this literature that 1t
was securing something the general
public would want to read, but the
experimental chapters have proved
unpopular. The fact has been brought
home to this paper that instead OF
giving its readers something they
wanted. 1t has been presenting to
them something that has unquestion-
ably displeased, and to keep itself in
line with what 1t believes to be Sou
thern sentiment. The Observer has
made decision to discontinue publica-
ton of the story which bears the title
of How I Made Wilson President"
The evidence that our readers do not
want it has been made so clear as not
to have been mistaken, and we are
printing one letter in manifestation
of the manner in which this evidence
has been borne in upon us. The let.
ter impressed US the more particu>
larly because Of the fact that it was
typical Of others which have come to
us, and through which we felt for the
first time the uncomfortable sensa-
tons of rebuke from. our. readers.
The letter follows:
My Dear Mr.. Harris: :! 4
Please hear me patiently, and with
out irritation, because l am your
friend.
Doctor Dodd, Professor of History
in the Chicago University, delivered
four very fine addresses on President
Wilson last week at Junalus ka. II
was my good fortune to hear two of
them and I was panied to hear him
make the statement that Hearst's
Of New York, Sun and The
Charlotte Observer were the three
papers he had seen tnat nad prlnled
a very slanderous article, the auto
biography of William. F.. McCombs.
Finding I have an extract relating
to the matter take the liberty of
sending it! to- you.
Professor Dodd in his address de-
livered before large audience ,speci-t
fed The Charlotte Observer. and II
tefl you it hurt my feelings very much,
first to know that The Observer would
publish AN article slanderlns, .Presi7t
dent Wilson, and second to hear a
distinguished speaker: before a iargel
and intelligent audience mention; the !
fact to the discredit Of The Observer:
Always with my very best wishes.
Yours very: truly, |
