And going after business is NOT pull
ing EN- off the sidewalk as they pass.
You We got to get EN- out Of the homes;
off the farms; from the smaller towns.
The Mail Order Houses are GOING
AFTER BUSINESS, and they are get
ting it. The Atlanta and Macon De-
partment stores are going after bust
ness, and THEY are getting it.
There went out from, the Americus postofice the
four rural routes enough mail order catalogues to
more than pay for whole year advertising bill for
the average small merchant.
One of the carriers in speaking OF the catalogues
stated that this was very small shipment and said
that at times he had carried out many as he could
get in the back Of his automobile.
He further stated that as these catalogues
were distributed they would begin ordering. he
said large orders given almost every day as a
result of this advertising campaign.
What argument can a business offer that it
doesn't paw to advertise when Chicago mail order
house sends more than thousand miles after it,
and what is more GETS 1T?

The local merchant can reach five thousand families
here in Sumter county by using this paper whereas
this Chicago mail order house only reaches a few
hundred. The local business man can reach them
every day with a NEW MESSAGE and a much
lower cost than the Chicago concern.
One Americas merchant who the Iimes-Re-
corder literally will tell you that it pays him to
advertise and pays him we'll.
He has built his business from tiny Insignificant
store until he has of the most prosperous
establishments in this entire section. He started
with little capital and it certainly can't be said that it
was luck because there is no such thing in business
He did it by advertising and if you'll ask him he'll
tell you
If you want business, you must tell the people what
you have. You must keep your name before them.
That old argument that people know where you
will not do.
They know where hades is, but nobody wants to go
there because il has been advertised undesma-

Advertise your stores as desirable. Keep your
in the minds of the people and when they want
goods they will go there.
and yet some people say
advertising doesn't pay.

SO long as the pulse of the woods
beat normal the sleep of the Pearl
hunter was sound. The hoot of the
owl; the whine of the wildcat: the
howl of the wolves; never disturbed
him. In cabin or house-boat, or out
under the trees, he could sleep through
1t all. But let a false note creep into
the wild medley and it instantly
reached him. 1t was his training. and
could be counted on.
Some time away in the dead night
the false note came-guarded footballs

wall. Without start or stir the Pearl

An Arm Across the Moon,


The cabin of Fallen Rock was very
gloomy as the Pearlhunter came down
the bluff, walked around to the front
door and pushed 1t open. The fire had
long since died In the stove. In the
twilight the interior of the cabin was
like night. He hastened to light the
candle. The sight of his mothers
chair, when the light brought 1t out of
the gloom. oppressed him heavily.
He stepped out of the cabin. think

but the sky was already spiked with
stars: and so blue and deep that IT
appeared to have no bottom. A good
eye seemed to be all that was needed
to see clear through.
The bottom grew again In the sky :
the stars came back out Of the deep
azure. The mans eyes opened. 1t was
the sound Of oars that opened them.
For the first moment he did not know
that he had been asleep. A glance at
the east, all a-fiare with the close
coming Of the moon, convinced him
that he had slept-for hours.

Paris. Feb. 21.-Premier BRAND,
accompanied by his staff. is In Lon
don. 1t was said he was determined
! "to make no concessions to Germany
as far as France was concerned, and
to allow of no examination of Ger
man counter proposals 10 the allied
reparations demands, in SO far as they
concern the method of payment.
France. it was said at the foreign
office, was prepared Immediately to
apply the penalties should Germany
not accept the Paris reparation plan
or otherwise fail TO meet the allied
requirements.
Former President Poincare, in an
article in the Temps. declares Ger
many must meet the reparation com
missions demands.
IF Germany refuses to accept" he
says, then the Versailles treaty au-
tomatically comes into force. The
French government can count on the
firm determination of Parliament to
reject any further delays Germany
may claim and also obtain from our
allies full indorsement of Frances de
mands.
German insolence is taking an as
cending line, which, If maintained,
will mean that the victors will be
Inundated by the vanquished and the
victims jeered at by the executioners.
I'VE do not wish Germany to weep,
but we have right TO demand that
she does not mock US"
London.-Aristide BRAND, French
premier, and General Barthelot ar
rived here with the announced pur-
pose of not reducing reparations that
the Germans must pay. But the .pre-
mier is disposed to examine attentive
ly the conditions of payment, should
the German delegates come with pro-
posals reasonably within the scope of
the allied decisions.
Although he does not regard the L.
per cent tax on German exports is
an export duty, because it may be
paid from internal or any other reve-
nue., yet, in view of American criti-
cism. that clause may be modified if
another suitable standard to meet
Germanv's expanding prosperity can
be found.
The French and British governments
are not in entire agreement on the
Sevres treaty. 1t is the impression
that Premier Lloyd George~will ask NJ
BRAND TO yield in some respects on
the Turkish treaty in return for stead
fast British support ON the repara-
tions.
France now has $4,000 men in Tur
key, but if the war is to be continued
there another 60,000 probably woult
be required. The French cabinet doe.
not desire 10 spend any more lives OF

lists.
The word revision" is to be avoided
as regards the Sevres treaty, on til,
ground that to revise any treaty tend
to render less permanent and solit

SCHOOL is TO BE LOCATED AT
CAPITAL OF STATE.
Projected Institution Goes to Baton
Rouge, Instead OF to Rapides Par
ISL.

Alexandria, La, May 5,-Leland
University, a school for the education
of Negro youth, which is fostered by
the educational board of the Northern
Baptist church, will not be located
near Alexandria, as had been intend
ed, but it will be established at Baton
Rouge. This action was decided upon
at a meeting of the committee having
the matter in charge, which was
held in New Orleans.
b. F. Thompson and Rev. A. j.
Barton, of this city, are members of
the committee, and attended the New
Orleans meeting.
The board originally intended to
locate the college just below the
city, and about two years ago pur-
chased a piece of property for that
purpose, but such a storm of pro-
test went up from the people along
the river between Alexandria and
Echo against the establishment Of
this Negro school so near them. the
question has been held in allegiance
until the meeting of the committee
in New Orleans. The committee in
spected several sites in New Orleans,
but finally selected site at Baton
Rouge and decided to establish the

institution in that city.
The Northern Baptist educational
board has in hand 100000 for this
school. The board will use 100000
as an endowment fund and 100000
will be used for he erection of the
buildings and their equipment The
board has also made an offer to
match every dollar that the Negroes
raise for this school with four dol
lars
