A well known advertiser once
said that he would have failed a
dozen times if he had not posses
ed a well nigh impregnable per
sistency and perseverance and
an entnusiasm aim commence
nearly suuernatural. It is
true that a very large percentage
of the commercial failures can
ho diroctlv traced to a lack of
stability or an absence of such
persistency as make obstacles of
no moment.
A young man once wrote to
the editor of an advertising
journal and inquired if this edi
tor knew ot any plan or scheme
in which he would advise one to
embark which would prove
profitable from the very start
and also in which the results
from the initial cony would more
than recompense for the placing
of the copy. I think the editor
replied that if he did he would
go at it himself.
This very idea or opinion that
advertising is something magical,
whereby the very first attempt
results in a steady inflow of cash,

Today is the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the birth
of Robert Burns, the Scottish
noet. of whom it has been said
that "since Sappho loved and
sung there has been no such
national vnst as he. A man
of SDlendid genius was this Scot,
who was born in poverty ana
whose vouth was spent in toil
and privation. The name of the
Plowbov ot Ayr will never
disappear from literature. His
immortality is secure. He was
much given to carousing. His
ife. indeed, was cut short by his
indulgence. He was, according
to all accounts, a weak and err
ing man. But he had the divine
spark of genius. While a mere

Persistency is a very great es
sential in any commercial under
taking, putin an enterprise where
advertising and its necessary
outflow of cash are concerned it
becomes an absolute, ironclad
necessity. It needs no repetition
here on my part pointing to the
successes in the eleventh hour.
That this has happened again
is sufficiently well known to need
no recalling by me, but I do wish
to bring to your attention the
fact that but for a sublime con
fidence in their proposition and
a perseverance unalterable many
of the greatest advertising suc
cesses of today would be pointed
out as a sort of bete noire.
Persistency, however, must be
coupled with good judgment or
it totally fails of the purpose
for which it was intended.
Though a campaign of adver
tising may have been launched
and well under way, should there
come to light certain things which
would go to prove that the f und
" auiental principle of the proposi
tion was wrong it would be then
suicidal to a commercial success
to continue without eliminating
these things, which will cripple
and undermine the whole cam
paign. A clear, cool, farseeing
judgment must be coupled with

For Every Man, Woman and

Paris Dispatch
Although general trade con
ditions in France, as in other
European countries, sunered in
1908, largely because of the re
duction in American demand,
following the financial crisis,
figures submitted by M. Leroy
Beaulieu and other statisticians
at the end of the year, regard
ing the wonderful wealth of the
French people, demonstrate the
of ranee s
imposing strength
advertising or all the persistency financial position and her right
in me worm amounts to very
little.
It is net so important, how
ever, that I bring to your at
tention this characteristic of
sound judgment as that I clear
ly show you how almost invalua
ble to any success is a proper
amount of persistency. When
the bank account shows signs of
depletion, expenses increasing
and with orders yet to material
ize to any considerable amount
is the time when every bit of
bulldog Btick-to-it-iveness must
rise to the surface, bringing out
every latent force of persistency.

A New System Comes to
in the Twin City.
VD-tsn-Salcm Journal.
. A smooth swindler is working
some of the banks of this section.
He is a man about 30 years of
age and passes as a working man.
R. L. Clour is the last name he
gave.
Dressed in a suit of worn over-
alls, with a dinner bucket on his j
arm, he went into the Merchants
& Farmers' Bank at Elkins last
week and opened a savings ac
countdepositing $20 and taking
a deposit certificate for it. The
next day he went back to the
bank and informed the cashier
that he had lost the original cer
tificate and asked that a dupli-
cate be issued. This was done.
1 he next day he called again at
the bank and informed the cash
ier that he had taken a position
with the Chatham Mills at Wins
ton, was going away, apd wanted
to cash his certificate. The cash
was paid him, and the "dupli
cate" .certificate taken up.
When he arrived in this city
he immediately looked up a
gentleman in this city who
could identify the signatures
and a certificate on the El-
to the title of "the world's bank
er." France's fortune is grow
ing steadily through an annual
saving of $1,000,000,000, much
of which must seek investment
abroad.
M. Leroy-Beaulieu's fi gures
show that France now receives
$360,000,000 as an annual income
from foreign holdings which are
principally government stocks,
the amount having been almost
doubled in the last 15 years. He
estimates the present wealth of
the French people at $45,000,
000,000, or more than $1,100 for
every man, woman and child,
and as the estimate is based
upon declared succession . taxes
it is admittedly much below the
real figures.
In addition, M. Leroy-Beau-lieu
takes no account of the vast
amount of gold securities which
tne K rench, especially the peas
ants, keep in concealment and
which probably rivals the hidden
treasures of India.
In the last 15 years, $521,400,
000 in gold was loaned abroad,
yet the excess importation
amounted to $785,800,000. In
1908 the gold holdings of the
Bank of France increased by
$200,000,000; they now staud at
$700,000,000; the largest in the
history of the bank. The other
banks hold $833,800,000.
The balances of trade which
in 1893 amounted to $140,000,
000 against France, are in
France's favor. Increased tax
ation, however, keeps pace with
the increased wealth. The bud
get of 1909, owing to the pur
chase of the Western railroad
and extraordinary expenses in
in connection with Morocco, be
ing the highest in the history of

hearts of his countrymen. He
was not a man of great culture
His philosophy was not deep and
broad. But he was a poet
intense ieeling and wide sympa
thies. The prevailing charac
teristic of his poetry is absolute
sincerity. Burns compared him
self to an iEolian harp strung to
every wind of heaven." His
poems have been admirably des
cribed as an epitome of the mel
odies, moods and memories that
had belonged for centuries to the
national life of Scotland. And
Burns inspired them with a fer
vor that thrills not only his coun
trymen, but all men who are not
devoid ot ieeling and imagination,
Opinions differ as to which of
his poems was his masterpiece.
Carlyle and other judges gave
that distinction, to "The Jolly
Beggars," but thre are many
to whom the tenderness of "The
Cotter's Saturday Night" appeals
more powerfully than the humor
and satire of the carousing tat
terdemalions of "The Jolly Beg
gars. .Burns mmseii and prob
ably the majority of the com
mentators on his work have re
corded their preference for "Tam
o'Shanter," while many readers
of Burns consider "Halloween"
his greatest production. But had
he written no other poem than
"The Cotter's Saturday Night,"
an apotheosis of a God-fearing
home, he would have secured a
permanent place in literature.
Burns was fortunate in that
his countrymen and the whole
world of letters judged him as a
poet not by his dissipation but
by the products of his genius.
rie was, indeed, a man ot mar
velous and varied genius.
Throughout the vicissitudes of
his life he had firm faith in a
Supreme Being, a personal God,
the Arbiter of human life. He
wrote prayers in rhyme, as well
as lyrics and poems of passion
and pathos. He was, as one of
his biographers explains, impa
tient of scoffers and skeptics
An atheist's laugh is a poor exchange
For deity offended.
A very remarkable man was
Robert Burns a strange blend
ing of what is best in human
nature and what is erring. And
that is often the characteristic of
genius.
nterstate Commerce Commis
sion Makes an Allowance of
$163,000 in Claims Against
Eleven Southern Railroads.
Washington Dispatch, Jan. 28.
By far the largest specific al-
owance of reparation ever order
ed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission was made today
vhen the body approved a settle
ment agreement of $165,000 in
satisfaction of the claims on ac
count of the unreasonable rates
on lumber shipped from Southern
mills, involving about 125 cases
and eleven defendant railroads
of the South. These are said to
be about one-third of the claims
of the same kind pending before
the commission. They involve
the two cent difference per hun
dred pounds between the advanc
ed rates, made effective in the
summer of 1903, and those in el-
fect for a number of years prior
thereto, on shipments that mov
ed between the time of the ad
vance and the summer of 1907,
when after the final dicision of
the United States Supreme Court
sustaining the dicisions of the
commission after a course of ap
peals the lower rates were re
stored. The defendant roads are :South
ern Railway, Atlantic Coast Line,
Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis, Seaboard Air Line, Cen
tral of Georgia, Georgia South
ern & Florida, Macon & Birming
ham. New Orleans & Texas Pa
cific, Mobile & Ohio, Illinois Cen
tral. Louisville & Nashville.
The settlement agreement was
reached between the ' petitioners
and the carriers on January 12th

val is with the proviso that the
Value of The Wireless Tele
graph. Charlotte Chronicle.
The value of the wireless tele
graph service has just had a
practical demonstration in the
collision of the two big steam
ships, off Nantuckett, Saturday
morning. The ships in collision
were the White Star liner Re
public and the Italian liner Flori
da. The collision occurred at
early dawn in a dense fog. The
Republic later went to the bot
tom, but not until its 400 pas
sengers were transferred to the
crippled Florida, from which, in
turn, they were transferred to
the Baltic. As soon as the acci
dent occurred wireless messages
were flashed over the sea, giv
ing news of the accident and the
location of the ships involved
In short time, the big steam
ships Baltic, Furhessia, New
York, Lorraine and the Lucania
were making their way to the
scene. Meanwhile, the officers
on shore of the colliding ships
were kept informed of the situa
tion and were enabled to send
orders of instruction and relief,
The surviving vessel of the col
lision, the Florida, was in a very
perilous condition by reason of
injuries and overcrowding when
the Baltic came to the rescue,
There is no doubt that the ap
pearance of the Baltic averted a
far greater disaster. One can
imagine what the probable con
sequences of an accident of this
sort would have been in the days
before the wireless.
