Entered at the Postoffice at Marion, N. C., as second class matter. TERMS: One Year, .... 100 Six Months, - - 60c Three Months, - - 26 Strictly in Advance! MARION, N. C, DEC. 9, 1909 PAY UP. United States Government Strictly Enforcing Law Relative to Weekly Newspapers, The United States Government is enforcing strictly the law rela tive to newspapers. This ruling provides that weekly newspapers that are mailed to subscribers who are more than NINE MONTHS in arrears will be required to pay first class postage. We cannot afford to pay first class postage. We have only a small number of subscribers on our books now who are more than nine months in ar rears and we wish these accounts settled at once. We must observe the law and everyone .who does not pay up his subscription will be cut off the subscription books and the account placed in the hands of our attorney for collection. We regret to take action like this and hope that all subscribers who are in arrears will pay up promptly. A newspaper cannot be run on hot air. The paper mills do not ship us paper free and then pay the freight, printers will not work for the joy of working, the man we rent this office from is a regular visitor on the first of the month and we must pay up or move out, the United States Government will not credit us for postage and therefore we cannot afford to ex tend credit for several years to subscribers. To all those in arrears bills will be sent in the next few days and we expect a prompt remittance. We wish to get the accounts of the McDowell Democrat settled up. It requires a good deal of time and labor to keep two sets of books so please remit upon the receipt of your bill. ENTHUSIASTIC ENDORSEMENT Of Wm. J.

'iHow can a town of Marion's population advertise its advanta ges to the homeseeker"? was a question asked of us by a promi nent business man several days ago. Continuing he said, "I realize that this is a day of opportunity and I also believe that the fight for the homeseeker will be between the small towns and country districts on one side and the manufacturers of the cities on the other but how we reach the great army of homeseekers?" Alone the business men of Ma rion cannot reac 1 them but the business men located in the coun ties of McDowell, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Rutherford and Cleve land can reach them if they go about it in a systematic way. To do this the commercial or ganizations in the towns located in the above counties must work to gether. No one organization ad vertising a town or county could accomplish anything," but combined good results could be at obtained. The Marion Progress has com municated with the newspapers lo cated in the above towns asking for their support in such a move and this has been assured from all that we have heard from. By systematic advertising in the farm journals of the west it would be easy to reach several million people and this could be done at a comparitively small cost. If the commercial organizations of this section would raise say $50 or $100 dollars each we would be enabled to reach the homeseekers of the north west. Building Hotels,- The towns of Murphy, Brevard and others in Western North Carolina are building and prepar ing to build more hotels for the accomodation of summer tourists Bakersville and Morganton are now agitating the question. Morgan ton has forty thousand dollars in sight for such a hotel for commer cial and tourist travel. Can Marion afford to wait until those towns become established re- sorts before putting in its bid for , summer tourists? It wjjl not be out a tew months betore not. But now it is not a question of Gudger and Cocke. It is (iudgor or Cocke. Both of ths men an making the tight for domocrai..- nominee for congressman from tr.. Tenth district. Which shalt it U tiudgr nr Cocke J Let us consider the menu of the two candidates for a moment- Mr Gudger was congressman from th. Tenth district two tonus, and ! though he didn't "set the work; afire" it is certain he did som. good work for his district, and loft an excellent record. Mr. Cocke, on the othor hn,l . still a comparatively voun man and is making his tirst race. H, nas served his partv well in differ ent capacities, having Uvn nmy..r of Asheville, state senator, North Carolina delegate to the national democratic convention, etc. He is a man of vior. tiro rnthnciac, and a big ambition, and no,n,r Il-,n-r.r,. w.-h h the abilitv paoI; tk;c ... 1 'hr 1t th- hwk . l l V HUO (Uil I ' I I 1 J I I he is necessarily a very strong per sonality. It is this very fact that makes him a better man for con gressman than Mr. Gudger. Tho latter has had the place before and in going back to Washington would resume his old position with the fire and vigor of his victory prac tically burnt out. We could ex pect little in the way of positive legislation from him. Mr. Cocke, going into congress full of the tiro and enthusiasm of his victorious realization of the ambition of a life, will make his power felt. A strong man come into his own, ex erting his strength in the cause of his constituents that will be Wil liam J. Cocke on the floor of the house. ill uic JilJt UI HUUIiy 3lr. yOCk'P ' "iniAi:; ,n i is probably the superior of his op- L'r'-' -M :. ponent. His career lias taen more Chaik M ";:.u:n spectacular, and has shown more k Tho strength and individuality than has thn';Kht t T.- x r, that of Mr. Gudger. As a speaker r-1 ,r-" : r.- he certainly has the advantairo ( H"T J ; Mr. Gudger. beintr one of th strongest and most forceful talkers in Western JNorth Carolina, this district needs a man in gress who can talk. The voters of Macon county wil; have an important part in the nomination of a candid ate. 1 he should think the question over and get the right man. In our opinion William J. Cocke is that man. young man, a man of big brain st' c mr. h r.!: w and strong character, with, purity nP "id M:t--r ot principle and steadfastness of n,,t n purpose, a man who has the tire and ambition that is bound to bring him through a winner that is William J.
