Before Historical Society.
Raleitrh Dispatch, 3rd.
Clarence H. Poe, as author of
"Where Half the World is Waking
Up," wins the Patterson loving cup
for the year, as having done the best
literary work of any North Carolin
ian.
Thp nward was made tonieht in
rtti tin1 tinn with the thirteenth an
mull session of the North Carolina
Literary and Historical Association
Tha nruoontjitinn uas hv Walter H
Page of New York, who also delivered
the literary address.
- This is the second time Mr. Poe
has Von the cup, having previously
received it for his book of travels, "A
Southerner in Europe." He is the
first to win the cup a second time,
and a third award makes the cup the
permanent property of the winner.
Sr. Mr Via?? ilecljired Mr. Poe ready
for a home run in this literary' con
test.
. The address was a prophecy of
North Carolina's literary develop
ment, which he declared will best
develop through a proper capitaliza
tion of the country and countryman,
of proper attention to the develop
ment of rural life. He urged strong
ly the formation of rural credit so
cieties on the order of those of
Germany and other European coun
tries, and appealed for this move
ment to be started for this State in
Raleigh through a meeting to be
held speedily. He asked that monied
men determine to back these rural
credit societies, and pledge to put in
his money and risk it on the poorest
rural community that could be found
in Wake county.
He knew, he said, personally that
there were some mighty poor ones :0
years ago. North Carolina from
.mountains to the sea can, he said, be
made the very best garden spot of
the earth, and has already made
amazing progress within the memory
of the living. He referred to the fact
that Carolinians traveling abroad
once spoke of their State apologetic
ally, then boastfully and now with
genuine pride.
The annual address by President R.
D. W. Connor was on "Historical
Foundations of Democracy in North
Carolina," and dealt with the gov
ernmental and industrial development
f the State. It was an able and
forceful address.
Dr. W. P. Few, president of Trin
ity College, Durham, was elected
president of the State Historical So
ciely for the year.

.Story of an Ad Pulling
Proved lie Wise.
Mr. J. C. Baxley, who lives nwir
5!uie, put a small advertisement in
The Robesonian a short while ago to
the c!tect that he had a cow for sale
He was told in a joking way when he
handed in the ad that if it did not
io the work he could get his money
back. The other day Mr. Baxley was
in town and recalling what was told
him at the time he put the ad in,
i-aid he'd have to get The Robesonian
to tell the folks that he did not have
any more cows for sale, that he had
:-olu Tour cows from that ad, all the
cows he had but one, and that only
yesterday morning a man drove some
distance to buy a cow from him and
he had to tell him that he had sold
all he had for sale.
That's the usual result. If you've
got anything of merit to sell, an ad
in The Robesonian will bring results.
The Robesonian is proving in its own
office right now the pulling power of
its advertisements. It carried an ad
in last Thursday's paper giving re
markable value "in a Bible. That ad
was crowded out of Monday's paper
and is crowded out again today be
ing the paper's ad it has to stand
aside to make room for other ads
but from that one insertion a sur
prising number of Bibles have been
.sold and it is- necessary to order
more.
If you advertise and don't sret the
results you expect you may bet your
bottom dollar that what you offer is
not what the people want. Be wise
and consider the truth expressed in
this charming distich
