Last week the Asheville horse
show held the center of the sta^e
and this week political discus
sions are in full bloom, with live
local news of general interest
standing at a premium, so the
readers of this correspondence
will please excuse the following
“shop talk:” Since the time of
Benjamin Franklin and the hand
press up to the present enlight
ened time the value of printers’
ink to gain general attention has
been recognized as an essential
factor in the promotion of indi
vidual and business interests.
This fact has been so thoroughly
demonstrated time after time
that most every progressive firm
in the world invests in advertis
ing space in one way or another,
but the latest and most unique
advertisinsT sprung on the Ashe
ville public is church advertising.
Evangelists and revivalists all
over the country have seen the
benefit derived, the interest ere
ated and the beneficial results
attained by investing in adver
tising, and they have figured it
out that what is good for one line
should be good for another. The
result is that the daily and week
ly papers of the country contain
display advertisements setting
forth the merits of the church
work, and inviting all to attend.
The Asheville newspapers have
not been favored with any church
advertising up to the present
writing, but Evangelist George
P. Taubman, who is holding revi
val services at the Christian
church on Haywood street, this
city, decided upon a course of
advertising that is both unique
and original, with the result that
the meetings are well attended
now, whereas empty seats made
up the best part of the congrega
tion before he invested in a little
printers’ ink. This is what cre
ated all the interest and caused
people to flock to the church and
hear Mr. Taubman’s teachings.
Several thousand circulars bear
ing the following words were
scattered broad cast over the city
streets and they produced the re
suits striven for:
“HEIJL.”
TONIGHT AT THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH.
OPP. AUDITORIUM.
The people saw, they read,
were interested and went to
the church to hear the discourse
on “Hell” by the preacher who
resorted to advertising to create
interest in his services. This
just demonstrates what can be
accomplished with a small invest
ment in printers’ ink. Another
radical departure from the
beaten path in the line of adver
tising in North Carolina is being
employed by Captain R. L. Fitz
patrick, democratic candidate for
mayor of Asheville. Mr. Fitzpat
rick employs the use of newspa-
\
per advertising for the interest
of his paint business, and recog
nizing it’s merits for producing
good results on the investment,
he has started a x^litical adver
tising campaign in the papers of
this city, soliciting the vote of
the people and setting forth his
views on the political situation,
etc. Mr. Fitzpatrick is using
half-page display a^s with a half
tone cut of himself, and it is caius-
ing the other candidates to sit up
and take notice. The voters of
the city are also commenting on
the course pursued by Mr. Fitz
patrick and his fearlessness in
publishing his political views in
the local press; it is making a
strong pull for votes, and of
course that is what Mr. Fitzpat
rick is advertising for. This is
food for thought for those w^ho
are skeptical about “whether
advertising pays.”
The U-nited States Internal
Revenue oflice ©f this city is
closed and the furniture, rec
ords, etc., have been shipped to
Statesville, where the office will
be conducted in the future.
There will be a civil service
examination held in this city on
May 1st to secure eligible people
to fill vacancies in the Philip
pines. The two classes are:
“Assistant in the Philippine Ser
vice” and “Teachers in the Phil
ippine Service.” The announce
ment is made that there are a
number of positions vacant in
these lines of government work,
and that the government is quite
anxious to get them tilled as soon
as possible. The average salary
paid by the government for this
class of work ranges from $1,000
to $3,000 a year, and in most
cases the applicant, if accepted,
starts in with a salary of about
$1,200 per year. This examina
tion and the figures quoted shows
that Uncle Sam is willing to pay
well for the services of his sub
jects and the school teachers’ sal
aries in the government service
is far above that paid by the
cities and counties.
The Asheville Elect^^ic Com
pany is defeijdant in another suit
for damages. One Lon Yar-
Berry who resides in West Ashe
ville claims damages from the
company in the sum of $35,000.
He bases his claim on the ground
of negligence whereby he re
ceived an electric shock resulting
in the loss of one eye and an al
leged permanent injury.
Police Officer Kuykendall is on
the sick list as a result of a pecu
liar accident. One day last week
the officer was trying to get a
drunken negro to the police sta
tion when said drunk fell and his
whole weight hit the officer’s leg.
The bones of the leg were broken
and the policeman will be unable
for duty for some time.

The above was clipped from
the Journal, Arlington, Texas,
dated March 23, and refers to a
former citizen of this county, a
brother of J. M. Glazener of Bre

On last Friday' S. B. Glazener
passed the ninetieth mile post on
life’s road, and in commemora
tion of the day was presented by
his brother Masons with a mag
nificent gold headed cane.
At an early hour Hon F. R.
Wallace drove up after father
Glazener and carried him down
to the Citizen’s National Bank
where the members were assem
bled. Prof. H, Tarpley present
ed the cane accompanied by a
short address, to^which the aged
father responded most feelingly
in a few words.
S. B. Glazener is the oldest per
son in Arlington and one of the
oldest in the county. He is in
fairly good health and reasonably
active for one of his age.
He was born in Pickens county
S. a, March 22 1817. When
twelve months old he w^as carried
by his parents to Western North
Carolina where he lived on the
beautiful and historic French
Broad river till 1843, when he
removed to Alabama.
In 1882 he came to Texas
where he has since lived.
He has been married twice and
has had born to him 9 children,
39 grandchildren and 7 great
grandchildren.
He has been a member of the
Baptist church 69 years, and of
the Masonic order 40 years.
Seven of his children are still
living.
During the civil war he was
barred from active service be
cause of age, however he belong
ed to the reserved force and
served under Gen. N. B Forest
He has at all times been active
and unswerving where duty calls
and even yet he takes an active
part in public affairs, especially
his church, and his counsel is al
ways w^orth listening to.
For twenty years he was clerk
and a leading member of his
church in Alabama.
The Journal, in common with a
host of friends wishes for him
many years in which to use the
token of esteem presented by his
brother Masons on this occasion.
Siimmer Term June 17-July 2r, 190r,
The Summer School for Teachers,
held at the University in past yeirs,
has been of great benefit to the
teachers of the State^ It is believed
that a Summer Term of a different
type can now be of most service.
The branches taught will cover the
ordinary high-school coun'^se, the ob
ject being to provide such in.srructioa
as will enable the teachers of the
State to prepare themselves more
thoroughly for their work. The
growth of high-schnols in North Car
olina causes an increasing demand
for well equipped high-school teach
ers. The instruction will be givei^
by members of the University fac
ulty, and courses so graded and ar
ranged that teachers can come sever
al summers and make decided prog
ress in the subjects selected. Teach
ers are advised to concentrate their
work on a few subjects—two, or at
at most three courses. In each course
there will be six meetings a week,
and regular examinations will be
held at the close of the term. It is
important that teachers be present at
the opening, June 17th.
The only charge, for tea<-her.'^, will
be a registration fee of $3.00; for oth
ers, an additional charge of $10.00
for tuition. Board and lodging can
beobtiiined in the village at reason*
able rates, varying from $10 00 to
$20.00 a month. The University
buildings will not be available for
these purpo'ises.
The courses offered are in ^ne: ishi
Latin, Mathematics, French, Grer-
man, History, and Elementary
Physics.
