Former Residents Express Pleasant
Surprise at the City's Remark-
r, able Growth. -
Mr. C. R Jones and son, L. C
I Jones, "formerly of this city, but
now presidents of - Baltimore have
returned- to that city after ar visit
of several days to their friends and
relatives. Mr. Jones is remembered
here by a -legion of friends. He
moyed with his family from this
city 5nftee years ago; ana :,was
pre vious to- thia -time- superintend
dent of Fowler's Net and Twine
factory." He expressed himself as
agreeably , surprised at the city's
remarkable growth and predicted
even better tinners lor it. Me says
that his experience is the' same as
that of all other people who . have
resided here, viz: an attachment
for the place is developed, and
this attachment will- ever linger.
Mr- L. C. Jones, who was a small
boy .when his - parents - left - here,
has just returned from a tour of
the world, after an. absence, of
three 'years, and which time was
spent in active service' in . the
United Mates JNavy. lie was
an engineer" on one ,"of the battle
ships which participated in the
Santiago fight,-and he holds the
best papers of any man of his
years sailing out of Balti
more. As he was in the fight, a
Tab ' Heel reporter questioned hiTn
as to the Schley controversy and
he was free in saying that the
trophies belonged to Schley, and
the sentiments of the American
people were not misguided in ac
cording unto Schley all the honors
of the great victory.
Pastors Ability Recognized.
The Biblical Recorder, the organ
of the Baptist denomination of
this State, published at Raleigh, in
last ' week's issue, contained an
epitomized sermon of Bev. C. W.
Duke pastor of the Baptist Church
of this city. The sermon was one
of great strength and merited
position on the front page, .with
an accompaning cut of the author
This is but a just recognition of
one'of the State's foremost preach
ers, and one who is doing a great
work' in this city. Elizabeth City,

.WILL' QUJT SCHEMES.
Advertisers Learn That Newspapers
. ; Are the Best Mediums.
It is a most gratifying fact that
during, the past year many, of the
most prominent advertisers of i the
country have come out. openly and
declared that they will " no longer
have anything to do i with scheme
advertising, but will hereafter . get
their publicity through 'the col
umns of the newspapers and such
of the trade "publications as .cover
their particular fields
They have' discovered that fully
nine-tenths 'of ; the - advertising
schemes .are' utterly . worthless,
while the remaining one-tenth is
of questionable value. . In other
words, for every dollar, spent the
advertiser-gets action on but one
tenth of the nmount, and ' mighty
little on that. - - , -
,The reason why the newspapers
are the best mediums for reaching
the people and securing business
is that they come into closer touch
with the, public . than any other
kind of publications. They, greet
the reader's eye 365 - days in . a
year in the cities and once a week
in the remote country districts. - "
When a man takes up - a news
paper to find" out what is going on
in the great busy world about him,
he cannot avoid seeing the ; adver
tisements contained in it Whether
he needs any of the articles
advertised or not, he is impressed
by the announcements and remem
bers them. - i
As a rule, the average person
who receives a circular in his mail
either tears it up without reading
or opens it and after a hasty glance
throws it in the wastebasket . In
other words, the circular sent in
an unsealed envelope receives scant
notice from the one who receives
To reach half a million people
by circulars would require an ex
penditure of at least $5,000. To
reach the same number through
either of the; above papers the
cost would probably not exceed
$100 .
It has .taken advertisers a long
time to find out these facts, but
now, wnicn, by tqe way, is - a
most excellent thing for their
individual ; pocketbooks. Fourth
