The Nashville Graphic say in a recent issue: "Local papers through out the south are doing all in their power to persuade their readers to patronize home merchants and stop sending money from borne to en rich mail order booses. The lat ter class never turn loose a dollar in your community in any manner which benefits you, while the home merchant is ever and anon called to share his profits with those about him. Yes, and while the news papers are defending the local mer chant many of these same mer chants rarely, if ever, spend five dollars a year with the local paper. his obtains in all towns, and, to a certain extent, prevails in Xash ville." This little preachmeut of the Graphic is as "true as preaching." he paper, daily or weekly, is en gaged all the time in pushing and boosting home enterprises, and sometimes it seems that its work is but poorly appreciated. And then the Merchant complains that Beers, Sawbuck and Skiunum, of Bazoo, take money out of the com m unity that rightfully should go to him. True, more than true, Mr. Merchant, aud so it vould if you wyuld but adopt some of of the progressive methods used by Beers Sawbuck and Skinnum. A That enterprising firm believed in using printer's ink they be lieved in advertising and they ad vertised liberally and kept at it And they did not use a quarter of an inch of space, either they used big, attractive, intelligent drawing copy; they gave time and thought to the preparation of their adver tising and they use more space today, and devote more time to the preparation of ads than they ever did. For this reason they are taking money away from you every day Tha Staunton Plan. Charlotte Chronicle. The plan of Stauuton, Va., of employing a general manager, in lieu of a mayor and a board of aldermen, to look after its munici pal affairs, seems to be working well. The general manager is con ducting tue attatrs ot the town on a business basis. The Churlestoi News aud Courier has been making a study of the Staunton plan and comes lo the conclusion tlutStaun ion is Hie Ih'sI iroveniou city in America. It sas that Statiutdt now saves each jcai on coal bibs alone almost enough to pay the entire salary of the general mana gor.

The experiment of the school au thorities of the town of Lenoir in furnishing free school books, seems to be turning out well, so well, in fact, that there is no probability of return to the old method. In the 'ebruary number of North Caroli na Education, the editor says that one of the biggest taxes levied np on poor families having children in the public schools is the outlay for the necessary text-books for the children. How to keep these child ren in school and keep them sup plied with books is a problem that is perplexing both schools and par ents. A solution to the problem in the Lenoir public schools seems to be found in the system of free text-books for all pupils. Begun as an experiment, the system has proven its merits so thoroughly as to commend it to the Board of Ed ucation as a permanent policy of the city public schools. Then fol ows a statemeut by Superintend ent Harris, of the Lenoir schools He says that "to simply say the free text book system has met with success is stating it mildly. It has been even more successful than we had hoped, and those who criticised the action of the board in the be ginning are heartily in sympathy with it now. In Lenoir it is no longer au experiment but is an as sured success and a permanent thing." Superintendent Hcrris explains that tbe books are purch ased by the board directly from the publishers, and are the proper ty of the school just as are the desks, maps, globes, blackboards, etc. This gives the teachers entire control and supervision of all books and, needless to say, the books suf fer less abuse at the hands of the pupils. Just here, too, the child ren are taught a much needed les son, that is, that they must res pect property that does not belong to them. Last year not a singl book in the white school was lost and not more than a half dozen were unnecessarily abused. Pat ented covers were furnished for al books. These covers have been donated by local dealers for the ad vertising space on the back. Tbe covers are given out with the books aud the children required to put them on. At the end of each term all books are coll ected, the covers torn oil and burned. Then the books are thoroughly disinfected new envois are furnished and they are again ready lor use.
