Saturday morning at least half d dozen persona called our ar tension to the filet that the automobile fire truck hud been racing up and down the streets the night before, with the nut-out wide open, to the great annoyance of residents who lived along the rom w"hich the machine travelled. If the city official are waging a campaign against the use of tli cut-out on private machines in the city, they should not permit the fire engine any more liberties than the other cars. The truck ean be operated .juM aa wall with the cut-out closed as it can with it open. To allow- the machine to make as much noise as ir desires, i? neither just nor fair to the other automobile owners of the city. DEVELOPING THE TAR RIVKR. News of the contemplated project to open the Tar river- to navi gation, was received with great interest by residents < ?f Washing ton. If the proposition goes through, ir will unquestionably mean considerable for the cities ojuL country along the banks of both ih * Pamlico and tiie Tar rivcr^. Even' effort should be made, to have a large delegation at Tar bcro this week to attend the meeting that is to be held there and at which the project is t<3 bo discussed. Greenville, Washington and Kooky Mount, should be represented, for if the matter is carrietl on to completion, it will mean much for these towns. It is estimated that it will cost about $8<J0,000 to complete :? 6-foot channel up to Tarboro. A number of men have expressed the opinion that this amount can never be secured. The govern ment. however, has spent as much on improvements on rivers in othr parts of the country, which have not done near as much benefit a* will the work on the Tar. If the proposition is presented to the government officials in the right manner, it is very probable that an appropriation can be secured, large enough to carry on the work. STIR UP A LITTLE RELIGION'. :? . . Religion is like everything else ? if it is allowed to drag along, with no special appeal to the people, interest in it is not very great. In business, when' trade is slow, merchants usifallv advertise a sale; in religion, when interest i* lagging, the preachers usually adver tise a revival. The time is opportune for a revival in Washington. If the churches of the city unite and engage the services of seme prom inent evangelist, they would do considerable in awakening interest in religious work in this city. DRTTMMINCi t l> BtTSIXESS. Severn! days ago, we published an article oil "Drumming up Businesti," in which we offered several suggestions to the merchant' for increasing their sales during the dull seasons. Several of tthc business men have commented on the articlo antl*w1erc kind enotigii to say thta the ideas expressed were good ones. They asked for more. 1 To attract atention to window displays, is one of the problems j that a merchant has to confront daily. A Philadelphia business man recently put a little device in his window which kept, the crowds continuously in front of his store. All that the people could sec was an ordinary dishpan. inside of which a rubber ball- kept cir cling around. They couldn't And out what made the ball roll. The merchant bad ingeniously arranged an electric fan behind some of his merchandise, and the strong breeze from the fan furnished the motive power for the ball. There are many other little tricks which ?re equally as good. In a western Carolina town, one of the dry-goods merchants had a number of rod strips painted on<tJie sidewalk. Tliey started about fifty feet from hit door and ran np to the window, ending }n an arrow-head which pointed to some article in the window. A passer by ooiild not help but notice the bright red lines, and hU eyes tlh consoiously followed their course until they rested on the article in the window to which the merchant desired to oall attention. Another merchant advertised the fact that he would aell gools the following day to only the "stylish and beautiful ladies" of the. city. He made the announcement more for a joke than anything else hut nererthelese, his store was crowded^irMtieillV all the tiro# during the I Ujr, I It's the little thing* that count In drumming- up bustttess. This may 1m illustrated by taking one of our local advertisers for an example. Mr. Baker, the photographer, has a very distinctive form ?t adterHeftf.

The Washington Dally News eeems to have boen presented with a slogan that reaches the spot aa "the most appropriate descriptive term" of the maids and matrons of that placo, the New Bern Journal having suggested "Winsome Wash ington Women." As for the sugge*-. tlon of Editor Biggs, of the Green ville Reflectoi'. that they be known as "Washington Wrigglers." tho News says. "If Biggs ever comes ov er here again he had better come ] well armefl."( "Well armed," eh.
