| LEGATION in The Times-News the
following copv of letter TO T. l..
Durham, chairman of the Hender-
son county commission: ....
Aug. 10, 1886.
Mr.. T. L. Durham, Chairman,
County Commissioners,
Hendersonville, N. c. ...
Dear Mr.. Durham: ...... ..
Henderson county should be
proud of the very fine report, sub
mitted by you and your associ-
ates, Messrs. Justice and Rusher,
in connection with the announce
ment of the 1886 tax rate. You
gentlemen have given a great deal
of earnest consideration, together
with lots of hard work, to the
matter of the county's financial
welfare, or else you would never
have accomplished the excellent
Job of reducing the tax rate and
at the same time,v refnancing the
outstanding Indebtedness of the
county in such manner as will
make it possible for our people to
more easily pay their taxes in the
future and thus maintain the
county on a sound financial basis.
There is little of praise given
to our political officials at any
time; too often, perhaps, we are
prone to criticise them, but at this
time and in this particular, at
least, / feel that you gentlemen
have earned the gratitude of the
people of Henderson county, and
/, for one, wish to warmly con-
graduate you on the splendid
work which you have done, and to
express my appreciation for your
having made a good job of very
difficult task. III, a
S%AYery sincerely yours

COST OF ADVERTISING

"We spend no money on advertising-that's why
we can undersell the other fellow shouts the sales
man of unbranded merchandise. 1t sounds logical
edosnt it2 dt couldn't sound any more logical II IL
were trueLwhich it definitely isn't. ...
Ever since it became common knowledge that
vast sums are spent for the promotion of trade
marked products, It has been customary to lay all
manner OF price diferentials to the high cost OF
advertising. ..-..'.
Advertising is not an expenditure 1t is an IN
vestment 1t does make added profits for advertis-
ers-not because it gives them the sacred right to
boost prices but because it so widens the field OF
activity that production can be stepped up and
production is stepped up manufacturing costs go
down. A manufacturer using great deal of raw
material can obviously buy to better advantage.
Furthermore, the fixed cost of owning factory
remains about the same, whether the manufacturer
is making one thousand units per day, or ten thou
sand units per day; and the cost of distribution de-
creases rather than increases Consequently by in
creasng the output of the factory tenfold the unit
overhead charge becomes great deal less than 1t
had been previously. Advertising makes this in
eraesed output possible, and does it economically.
That is, widespread advertising costs less than jim
creased production saves. This more often makes
possible decrease rather than an increase in
prices. 70"
$50 advertising is really the friend Of your budget

Public Auditorium Cleveland, O.,
June 12.-Who. a convention!
l don't know who is going to get the
Republican presidential nomination
but l do know what 1 got-I got it in
the neck.
Today, I was sitting as peaceable
as church mouse on Sunday in my
seat among the other gentlemen of
the press when I remembered 1 had
forgotten all about breakfast
There was a speech going on and
as 1 have never formed the speech
listening habit can take a speech
or leave it, anytime-I decided to
leave this one and grab a cup of cof-
fee and a ham on rye.
Well sir, just as l was passing out
of the convention hall the speaker
mentioned the name of one of the
presidential candidates and-wham!
the boys and girls let go a demon
stration.
In a split second 1 was surrounded
l,y screaming delegates and waving
state banners. 1 was banged, bounced.
bruised, battered and benumbed be-
fore l finally won free of the demon
strators. And, when 1 got out of the
hall, l had forgotten all about my cup
of coffee and my ham on rye-what
l wanted a lot more was a nice, cool
and comfortable hospital lied.
It is surprising what enthusiasm a
political convention delegate can work
up for someone else. The way these
Republicans were screaming the
name of the candidate you'd think
someone had just told them that they
had been nominated themselves, and
couldn't lose the November election.

125 Years Ahead of his time 10
years ago this month, l.. A. Berbllng-
er, a tailor of Ulm, Bavaria, leaped
from the city wall with wings on his
shoulders, and crashed into the Dan
ube as thousands cheered. Ulm shops
still sell comic postcards OF man
so ridiculous as to try to travel by
air.
j. p. Morgan wears a tin lid-hls
own idea-Over a pipe when ne
smokes it, so his home folk can't
complain about dropping ashes.
The paper on which is the will of
Joseph Stanley, who died in ITO, is
now worth more than the amount
that it devised. Because it bears the
rare signature of Button Gwinnett,
signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence, it is worth $4,000.
The greatest writer was a poor
writer: the existing script of William

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

June II, differentiation of DEM
ocratic government in America was
laid in the Virginia convention at
Williamsburg, by George Mason, 81,
planter, whose declaration of rights
whs adopted unanimously 1t de-
clared that all men are by nature
equally free, and are invested with
inalienable rights namely, the enjoy
ment of life, liberty, property, and the
pursuit of happiness and safety; that
all power is vested in, and consequent
ly derived from the people; that gov
eminent is, or ought to be, instituted
for the common benefit and security
of the people and that when govern
ment shall fail to perform it's re-
quired functions, a majority of the
people shall have the inalienable
rights to reform or abolish it, etc.
AS may be judged Mason's declara-
ton suggested the Constitution of
the United States. He even was
member of the Constitutional conven-
ton. but he refused to sign the u. S.
Constitution and, with Patrick Henry
led the fight against its ratification
by Virginia!
