I In heralding the arrival of our new “High Art Clothes” for Pall and Winter we are inspired to say a few words on the subject of clothes economy. There is an economy slow to manifest itself but sure - it i is that of paying a fair price for a dependable garment and reaping the benefits in the long and satisfactory service it gives—this is true economy. Then there is that instantaneous saving of buying clothes low in price but short in service, which is dear in the long run. Our policy is never to sacrifice quality for price and so < our customers remain our friends. See our assortment of fresh new garments fof men and young men and appreciate the substantia) economy en joyed by wearing new hats, Shoes and furnishings. Come and see.

The Seaboard Air Line Boys a Page of Space In the Manu facturer’s Record to Present the Claims of Sanford as a Manufacturing Centre. The last Issue of the Manufacturers Record contains a page article on the advantages and opportunities offered capital and home seekers by Sanford and Lee county. The matter for this article wbb gotten up by members of the Sanford Commercial Club and Is paid for by the Seaboard Air Line Rail way Company. The Seaboard is car rying on a campaign of advertising of the resources and advantages offered by the towns and counties along the line of that great system in the Man ufacturers Record. This publication has a wide circulation both North and South and this article will no doubt prove a good advertisement for Sanford and this section. The article is as follows: “Two very important matters to be taken into consideration in considering a location for a manufacturing plant are power and, in this day and age, available labor and labor conditions. “Sanford has abundant electric power furnished by the great Carolina Power and Light Company, which has an in exhaustlcle supply of power and offers the same at low rates to manufacturing plants. “Sanford also has no nearby com petitor cities, and labor conditions are extremely favorable for factories. Labor is native, sober and industrious and free from social discontent. “Sanford has desirable manufactur ing sites available, convenient and suit able for every need. “Anyone interested in locating at Sanford will be given hearty co-opera tion by the local people in securing de sirable sites at reasonable prices ancl in every other possible way. “Sanford is a town of 3000 population, has seven miles of concrete sidewalks, owns her own water and sewerage sys tem and has fine water, has the same climate as the famous winter reeort9 of Pinehurst and Overhilla, from which she is only 30 miles distant; is the busi ness and trading center of a territory 26 miles in radius. Good roadB lead out in seven directions. “Transportation facilities at Sanford are as nearly ideal as can be had in the South, and the fact that other great transportation lines enter here shows that “The Progressive Railway of the South” is not selfish in presenting the claims of this city. “That the sources of raw material for manufacturing at thlB point are good aarrl ni-• i H» i—a - ready has a large cotton mill, iron foundry and machine shop, four veneer and woodworking plants, large furni ture factory, roller mill, cotton seed oil mill, excelsior plant, metal-working factory, broom factory, tobacco ware house, railroad shop and other plants, and offers unexcelled opportunities for cotton mills, hosiery millB, overall and shirt factories, and all kinds of cotton and cotton goods manufacturing plants, furniture and woodworking plants, flour mill plants, wholesale distributing Prospect of Development of the Cumnock Coal Mine. There are prospects of a development of the Cumnock Coal Mine, in this county. A Pennsylvania coal expert ia coming to the State to look the prop erty oyer. Mr. Biou H. Butler, of Southern Pines, interested himself in the mine, and met in Washington last Friday F. i A. Lane, of Brockwayville, Pennsyl vania, and went over the situation in ; the Cumnock section. Mr. Lane Is a j coal miner, and has become Interested j in Mr. Butler’s claims for the North j Carolina field. j “The people of Fayetteville,”said Mr. | Butler to the News and Observer cor- j respondent, “overlooked one bet In ask- ’ ing for the armor plant when they fall- ] ed to s'ly that within forty miles of their city a great wealth of coal lay buried, I ready for enterprising capital to un- 1 earth it. j “Mr. Lane ia a man of experience and | ability, and can get all the money he ] desires to develop the Cumnock mine if I he takes hold of It. < “Favorable roiiorts have been made from time to t4uie on the Cumnock re- 1 glon, and many people believe that 1 there is abundance of fine quality coal < in the old Cumnock mine. One decided 1 advantage in the Cumnock coal is that I It is accessible to tidewater on the east ern coast. “Mr. Lane is a practical man, and knows how to get the coal ont In mar* ketable shape and quantities. I hope 1 that, as a result of our conference, some thing will soon develop to re-open the 1 Cumnock properly. Mr. Lane and those i close to him are backed by ample capi tal, and will operate on a large scale if ' they do start." Mr. Butler, who Is an old Pittsburgh newspaper man, Is very enthusiastic over the prospects of North Carolina’s development. He thinks that the State is just beginning to come Into her own. “As a reporter in Pittsburgh,” said he, “I used to look after things per taining to the Iron and steel industry. I made a specialty of those things. Therefore, what I have observed along these Hues In North Carolina came natural with me. “The deposits of Iron in North Caro lina are large and of high grade. In the Haw river territory the Iron ore carries chromium and titanium. The former is used In making higher grade steel. “Some day the Iron deposits will be developed ” Sparks Circus and the election will hold the attention of the people of San ford and this section the same day.

Official Entente announcements today report an effective stand by the Rumanians against Teu tonic armies along the Transyl vanian border and the sanguinary repulse by the French of heavy German assaults on the new French positions on the Somme front. The approach of winter < s acbompanied by no dimunition i :n activity. In some battle areas, i ndeed, efforts apparently are be ng redoubled. This seems nota- i }ly true along the eastern front from Volhynia to Rumania, l whence continuous fighting is t •eported with a virtual deadlock, i Further south the attempt of I ihe central powers to drive a 1 wedge between the Russians and ( Rumanians in the southern Car- ! Datliians is in an uncertain stage. ; Berlin has reported the capture | )f some heights, but Petrograd fiaims the repulse of all attacks. > The tide of battle apparently . aas changed along the Transyl- i fanian border. Berlin has con- i ■eded the stiffening of the Ru- < nanian resistance, and Bucharest i tdvices today declare that the i Rumanians are making success- c ful stands, and at one point at : east are pushing General Von < Falkenhayn’s armies back. From c the Rumanian viewpoint the mili- t tary news is reassuring, it is de- i ■dared. Russian troops in force < are reported helping the Ruma nians to defend the passes from Transylvania into their territory. On the Somme front German attacks were delivered against i the French line, both north and south of the Somme. Three as- < s&ults by the Germans upon the < French north of the river are de clared by Paris to have been re pulsed with heavy loss to the Germans, who also were repelled after they had gained a footing in a French first line trench south of the river. On the British front in the Somme region some prog ress Is reported, despite rainy" weather. While a train of soldiers was passing through Rockingham a few days ago, Claude Sears, of Rockingham,who joint I the army in the spring, stepped aff^e and allowed his company to go' for ward without his presence. He was arrested by the sheriff last week on a charge of desertion. AMAZING prosperity. ^oriHouH Increase in Trade and D Wealth—Far Beyond Any Other Period in History. Onr foreign trade continues to Kiant leaps forward, n the first seven months of •l)eicports and imports reached a total of $4,394,040,948. This j&Kgers the statisticians and con oands the politicians, who never “Ought such tigures possible. It 4* a billion and a half more than [ the seven corresponding months of last year, and even last :years figures were considered r amazing. I'. the seven months, exports increased a billion dollars over toe same months of 1915. Imports increased about half a billion. Our foreign trade for seven months is greater than it was in the twelve months before the war woke out. ^fcarly half of this great trade is with Great Britain and her colonies. Our exports to Japan j^ve nearly doubled. £ art* exporting almost $2 worth of goods for every dollar’s ■worth imported, We are either Paying our debts abroad or are becoming creditors of other na tions, at the rate of $2,500,000,000 Per year. In either case we are becoming so much the richer. History has no parallel for such TaPid increase of wealth. rroieetive tariffs were made for the ourpose of cheeking im pels. and so increasing the "bal ance of trade” in onr favor—that is, the excess of exports over im ports, But hetre we are with the nearest approach to free trade that we have had in 65 years, and yet the balance in our favor is nearly four times greater than it ever was in the most successful year under a protective tariff. In that year, 1908, the balance was (Kit millions in our favor. Now it is J500 millions. Great as these figures are, our foreign trade is but a trifle com pared with our domestic trade. Tbit also is increasing our na tioral wealth so fast that it seems like a fairy tale of some stupen dous Aladdin’s Lamp. Repudiated Bonds of Recon struction Bobbing Up Again. Xersaod Observer.
