Composition on the Lives of Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson. Essay by Mr. Banks Anderson of Graham Graded School, read in the contest for the prize offered by Graham Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy. The names of Lee and Jackson are lovpd and respected* through-' out the world. Men' of all parties and opinions unite with us in praise of th^m. Robert E. Lee was born at Strat ford, Virginia, January 19, 1807. Thomas J. Jackson was born at Clarksburg, Virginia, January 24, 1824. Both Lee and Jackson were gladuates of West Point. Lee of the class of 1829. Jackson of the class of 1846. | Lee was employed in the coast defenses X?w York and Vir ginia, until 18116. He was then senc to Mexico at the head of a corps of engineers. Jackson followed ! one year later with the artillery. At the close of the Mexican War Jackson resigned and accepted a position as professor of Mathemat ics in Lexington College. Lee remained in the army until the spring of 1861. He then re signed and offered his services to his state, Virginia, and in a short | time became Commander-in-Chief j of all the Confederate forces. About the same time that Gener- ' al Lee left the United States army | Jackson resigned his position at | Lexington and took command oi the first Virginia brigade. The greatest and bloodiest war of the modern age had begun. The- Southern army, composed of the flower of the Southern youth—men of education and refinement, had engaged with the forces of the North. Generals Lee and Jackson had entered upon that career which was to make their names re nowned in the annals of that great and tragic epoch of the modern ! age. They had entered upon that j career which was to crown them as the chief hope and the right arm of a great but short-lived re public. The war between the States re ally began with the battle of Man assas. It was there that Jackson gained the name of Stonewall, and there that the South won the first of a Aeries of great and bloody battles that were to follow, such i Chickahominy, Cold Harbor, Fred ericksburg, Malvern Hill, and then the disastrous battle of Chancel lorsville. At Chancellorsville, Jack son fought his last battle and won his last victory. There he was wounded by his own men who mistook him and his men for Fed eral cavalry. The wound was mor tal, and seven days later, Sunday, May 10, 1863, in the' midst of his family, hfe expired. Truly we may say the battle of Chancellorsville was disastrous. Jackson, was a born leader and had, underlying all, that spirit of combativeness, that mixture of daring and caution, which is the foundation of military success. When fighting, Jackson the chris- j tian, became Jackson, the veritable bull-dog. A bull-dog because he had the unfaltering resolution to ; never give up. As he himself said, ,4 I have sometimes failed to drive j the enemy from a position, but 1 ' have never been driven from one.' Such was the strengch and resolu tion of Jackson's character. His death had a crushing effect on,the Southern army. As General/Lee I said : "The death of General son is such in comparison thaffthe ' Southern army has lost ita'light arm." . f The death of Generals Jackson and Stuart along with the crush ing defeat of the Southern army at Gettysburg changed the whole as- ' pect of the war. General Lee was defeated again ! and again. The soldiers were in rags, provisions and supplies had been cut off and no amunition could be obtained. Such being the condition of the 1 army, General Lee felt that it would be useless to fight longer, and on April 9, 1805, at Appomat tox Court House, surrendered the Southern army under his imme diate command to General Grant. With this surrender the war ended, do attempt being made by other commanders to prolong it. After the surrender General Lee returned to Richmond and accept ed a position as president of Washington College. For about live years he concentrated his en tire attention UDOn his duties there. (Jp until his death he was an ardent christian worker, and was last seen in public at a vestry meeting of Grace church, of which he was a member. On he 28th of September, 1870, General Lee was suddenly taken sick. Skilled physicians attended him but with no avail. On Wed nesday, October 12th, after having suifered for fourteen days, he died. He, like General Jackson, faced death with the calm assurance of the christian. As a soldier, Lee was great— as a man, greater. No man has ever been simpler, truer, or more honest. The crowning grace of of these two men, who were not only great, but good, was heir hu mility and trust in God. In this lay the foundation of their great characters. The love of home, of family, and of state was predominant In their minds. Their military genius is not alone the cause of their glory, but their unfaltering love of man kind—of God. They lived, fought, and died, knowing that they bad done their duty to mankind and to Ood. Their love and sympathy for man, their humility and trust in Ood is what sets them apart and above those whom men honor as great , GRAHAM; N. C„ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26,1914 That is why every Southerner loves and reveres their memory, end that is why they have grown fctcadity in the esteem of mankind, until to-day, they stand alone—the least critistzed of all the heroes of the world, ancient or modern. or modern.

IS BIG FACTOR IN RENTING Talent of Ad Writer Required to Fill Big Structures With a High Class of Tenants. « It is a great deal easier to build a skyscraper, even a very big one, than it is to fill It with tenants. That calls for a different kind of talent. And it Is harder still to All it without making the expected con cessions for long time lease#, says Printers Ink. Price cutting In rentals may make as deep Inroads on profits and dividends as vacant office will do. Price maintenance Is as much a neces sity or, at any rate, a desideratum in the business of renting as It Is In any trade-marked or branded proposition sold through dealers. It is for the sake of both of these objects, filling them at the right rent al, that the new Equitable building In New York city started to advertise 16 months ahead of completion. While the new Equitable will be the largest office building In the world, the directors are too wise to believe that by Itself that will prove a suffi ciently strong advertising card. They have started 16 months ahead of time to spend $160,000, a very much larger sum than has ever been spent before for such a purpose in local newspaper space, mostly large space, run week ly. The problem Is to get $16,000,000 worth of leases—five-year leases —at $8,000,000 a year. The advertising ap propriation of $160,000 Is thus only one per cent, of the total expected re turn, or, stretched over five years, only one-fifth of one per cant, per year —not mi extravagant figure, one would think. The copy that is expected to solve the problem Is to be of a quiet, digni fied but informative kind. The vari ous points will be suggested,, not pounded Into the public. The attempt will be to make the new building In teresting and desirable not so much to visitors but to business men and prospective tenants. ft THE SMALL ADVERTISER. & - 8 S—• - 9 X Bmaller retail merchants [V 5 sometimes become discouraged j»! by the competition of newspa- >; £ per space of larger stores.

To the man who followa the adver tising game for a period of years, the buying public resolves Itself largely into two claases. First, there are the people who buy when they feel like It or run short of articles, without much system. Second, those who watch the local trade market as keenly aa the buyer of a manufacturing concern watches the commercial paper*. That may take time, but it la scien tific buying. The canny housewife knows that at certain times of the year the merchant is up against the prop osition of reducing stocks. Not all his ventures have succeeded. He did not expect them to. Some chances must be taken. Irregularities la weather and caprices of popular taste have left parts of his stock unsold. He must do one of two things. Carry stock over, borrow money to bold It pay heavier Insurance, take chances of style changee or deterioration, or cut his prices. The majority of the merchants eut prices regularly during the latter half of the season, to meet theee condi tions. The scientific house buyer makes the bulk of the purchase* dur ing this period. What Is not needed this esason will be useful later. This trade is mostly reached through advertising. Every advertise ment at this time of year is closely scanned, not merely with the casual hope of eome unexpected bargain that may fit fn some time, bat in pursuance with a settled policy of buying la the lowest market Aa it takes too much time to run around the stores and see what the merchants are doing, the public watches the newspapers, and visits the places that have made known their bargains. The people who doa't read the store advertising miss chances to keep the cost of living down. Psys to Advertise. "Why do you advertise tor a wife? Couldn't you find one ia your own dr cler .

Tn ' I I J m H Advertising Talks □ ■ ■ XL) CTD SELLING GOODS WITHOUT "TALK" Printed Advertisement Is Silent Salesman That Works Twen ty-Four Hours a Day. By TRUMAN A. OK WEBBE. There are other advantages In the piloted word over the old style of "salesmanship by conversation." It la true that you can reach thousands through the printed word while you •re talking to one customer—but that Isn't the only advantage of the print ed page In the newspaper over the talk of the old-time drummer. The man who trlef to sell goods through talk wastes " thousands of words—and every thousand words means a quarter of an hour. How often have you seen a. loqdaclous salesman laboring for an hour to sell a two-dollar article the profit on which might be as much as 40 cents? If the salesman received four dollars a day, how much profit did the owner of the store make on that sale? You not only reach a larger audi ence through the printed advertising, but you catch the prospective custom er In a receptive mood. If he Is read lag his newspaper he Is In a mental altitude that makes him responsive to argument He is far away from the distractions of his own business. He Is ready to be convinced of some thing. Moreover, he caa't talk back to an advertisement He cannot heckle It with frivolous questions. He cannot engage It In controversy. "But lam not tn the mallorde» > business," says the merchant enods have to be sold by .. Is a matter o{ talk,,even though I do advertise. Besides, there Is the personal touch—the Influence of per sonality, which you cannot exert through printed advertising." In this the merchant Is laboring nnder two delusions. / In the first place, advertising that Is properly done sells fne goods before the cus tomer cornel tn. Now, all this applies to retail ad vertising In a newspaper as well as to national advertising. If a merchant makes hla advertising educationally descriptive from day to day the things that are leaders In his advertising should be sold to the customar be fore he enters the store. In his own mind the customer has already bought the article. He Is merely coming to the store to supply the want already created through advertising it la plainly obvious that the clerk who at tempts to sell him after he has been "sold" la wasting the time of his em ployer. It la conceivable that the cus tomer might want to supplement or confirm what he has already learned through the advertising, and It may be advisable and It may be wise to answer a few questions, but the val uable clerk will not encourage bis conversational powers beyond reason able limits. The printed advertising should *l)e newsy, informative, torse and to the point It should waate no words. Now, about the "personality" In salesmanship. It Is possible to put personality into printed advertising. Type Is the silent salesman that works after the store Is closed —on holidays, Sundays, wben the merchant Is sick or well—and yet It la possible to Invest this silent salesman with a distinct personality. Some men who never talk hare more personality than the moat gar rulous salesman—ln fact It la the ad vertising into which the merchant has put his personality that leaves and Anally makes a definite Impression. Through the printed type the mer chant can project his own personality. It aoon becomes vibrant with hla well known peculiarities. You can see and hear John Wana maker when you read hla advertlalng. It la distinctly dif ferent You quickly differentiate it from all other advertlalng, and you soon find yourself looking for the Wana maker message every morning or evening In your newspaper. It haa the Wana maker atmosphere—and the advertlalng stands for everything of honesty, peculiarity or sincerity that may be aaaociated with that name. The purpoee of advertlalng la to multiply salsa. The great merchanta who have- used newspaper space In telligently and efflclently are the onea who have built up the volume of sales until It requires all the time and energies of large bodies of sales men to supply the demand created each day by advertising. Are yon one of them? Investment Net an Exponas. Merchants should feel that advertis ing la not an expense.

NEW YORK. —Her Royal Highness, Princesa Alexis Karageorgevitch of Servla, Is here with ber sol dier prince. Or maybe It 1s better to say His Royal Highness, Prince Alexis Kara georgevitch of Servla, Is here with his American bride, who was Mrs. j Huger Pratt of Cleveland and Paris. ' Perhaps one should say Her Excel lenxa, or Serene Highness. I declare I I didn't know what to call her, Prln- I sessen, or Serene Altessen, but any way, she Is all that you hope a real ( princess will-fee. It's awfully hard finding your way to the abode of royalty, but you have found It past the line of tall, young footmen. And now you're all alone In . the tiny silent ante-room of the princ4 j of Servla's apartments up at the Rlts Carlton. Nothing here but a dread fully large business-like trunk, with •D. K. on It. The laßt Is for Kara georgevitch, and the first, I tblnk, Is for Doulgoukrhoff. or some combina tion like It, that only the first-borns of the royal line may bear, writes Ixola Forrester In the Sunday Magazine of the New York World. Voices came from behind one of the French gray doors hung with old rose silk. One expected a line-up of more footmen or maids, but when the door opened It was Prince Alexis himself. Just a swift Impression of keen, kind ly eyes, of straight, soldierly bearing, a ready, understanding smile, and then another French gray door opened and closed, and left me In the boudoir of the princess. Amid Rsgsl Luxury, I was glad she wasn't there. Just for a minute I sat down in front of the darling little gray and silver dress ing table, and beamed In at the triple mirrors. All about were gold things, gold trinkets and toilet articles, with big monograms on them, and behind me was the royal couch with coverlid of pink plush and real lace. There j were pillows, too, In hand-embroidered sHps with pink satin ribbon all run through the lace and crushy satin bows at each corner. And hanging near on a rack was a full length seal eloak, lined with old gold satin. I'm coming to ber In a minute. I was Just making believe, don't you know, trying to find out what It was like being a princess, door opened softly behind me and sbe came In, our latest American little Royal Highness, Princess Karageorgevitch, who once upon a time was Abigail Parkhurst, a New fork girl. Whoever It was that Insisted prin cesses bad to be Ave feet ten In height waa all wrong. Our princess Is only about Ave feet three, and she Is gen tle and low-voiced, with golden hair last touched with silver, and blue eyes that are very serene and mild In their gaxe until you spesk of ber Soldier Prince, and then they kindle hidden Bres, for she is very proud of blm. She wore—you do want to know what she wore, don't you?. Well, then, she wore black satin, semi-evening dresa, and pearls. The waist was cut with a close surplice effect, following the lines of the figure snugly. There was a round yoke of finest, sheerest with a high collar. The skirt was cut very narrow at the bottom, and not too long. About the hips the black satin lay In soft, rich draped folds, very close and flat. Her hat was of black satin also, a small model with an attractive Continental tilt at one side, and several exquisite osprey sprays—long, black feather-tipped trifles that rose a foot above ber head. * Around her throat was a string of pearls, large creamy-toned pearls that looked very old aad seemed as large as hazel nuts. Still Knjoylng Honeymoon. Sbe was ever so sweet aad gracious our latest princess, and rather amused and doubtful over her first Interview, but willing to talk of ber prince. They were Paris only last June, so the honeymoon is not really over yet. And now she has brought her prince back to the homeland to teach him Its beauties too.

"It rings all the time, and Is so Insistent one feels curious to answer, and then —lt Is nothing at all. The prince Is very fond of golf and of riding. Later we are going west."

Doesnt your most sweet and demure Royal Highness know there Is nothing la the world more effective and striking for la petite blonde prlncesse than black and white? Just here she remembers the prince la ths next room, and crossing the tiny boudoir to the Freneh gray salon , there oomes a swift flood of Imprse-. slons regarding this soldier prince, j Alexis Karageorgevitch. Por years he had lived In Paris, aa ' exile with his beautiful mother. Ths* came the tragedy of Alexander and his gypsy-eyed queen, Draga. and the Obrenovlc dynasty was past, Just for a fleeing hour Alexis was the strong est candidate for the throne, lie was the eldest heir of the Karageorgevitch ; line.

I am a Servian first of all. It Is such a little country, but to my mind ths most beau tiful on earth, and It has suffered. But still It gains slowly. Before the war we had three millions. Now, with her added borders, we have six. It is good, but there will still be more war. The Turks do not recognise the treaty of London. We do not mind.
