Admiral How ard commanding the American fleet off the west coast of Mexico, has reported a battle between Mexican fed erals and Zapata revolutionists 20 miles from Acapulco. Admiral Howard said that 16 Zapatistas were killed. The fighting at Mazatlan continued, the report said. va cillating pr of paragraphic snipers, and "snipers" is the proper word, used advisedly. The Mexican "sniper" hid behind the roof of the house and pick-d off his prey, and here are Booker and Cowan, now that Cook has passed out of reach, sniping at him. The marvellous thing about it is that Cowan and Booker were both loud champions of Cook's rights at one time, that time being when Cook was popular. But when a lot of scien tific blatherskites in Copenhagen put the gaff to the Doc. these two fellows got cold feet and left the sacred camp. But go-long with ye! Truth rising in majesty will some day triumph over blind malice and uncurbed hate "r - .ueanwnne we snail continue to stand at Armageddon with the Doc if the whole world rises to denounce his clai ms. ' NEWTON ITEMS every art ot a "RATIONAL SPENDING." In the course of an address at a meeting of newspaper men in an other city one of the speakers de clared that advertising did not en courage the tendency to throw away ones money, but on the contrary, stimulated the idea of "rationa spending." mat is a good phrase "rational it:uuius. iow much irrational spending all of us have done! Success begins to come to man wr.en ne masters the spending his money rationally, in way wnicn reason has demonstrat ed to be a wise way, in a way wnereby that expenditure will te made to bear fruit. It is net putting the matter too strongly to say that the biggest suc cesses in the business world today tave been the result of rational ad vertising. It were no use to own the finest product on the market unless you let the buying public know about it, and there are many ways to let the public know. The best way, and the way the wiset business men follow, is ration al advertising. And bv rat inn al n vertising we do not mean, spasmod ic, belter ekelter advertising meth odsbut the steady, forcible, persist ent, appealing, intelligent advertising course. The big firms set aside an annual appropriation, and they use same in the best mediums available. They ad vertise constantly, and while some times results are not readily discern ible, the advertiser of this type usu ally traces satisfactory returns at the end of the year's business. . Show us the successful business maji and we will almost invariably show you the rational advertising spender. Special to The News. Xewton, May 13. Rev. Walter W. Rowe left yesterday for Lancaster, Pa., to attend the General Synod of the Reformed Church in the U. S. His pulpit next Sunday will be filled by Rev. J. D. Andrew of Catawba Col lege. Mr. Andrew will not be able to attend the Synod on account of press ing duties. While Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Eeatty were attending court, now in session here, some one entered their home and stole two 35-pound hams. The large two-story home of Mr. Bud Lippard was totally destroyed by fire Sunday night. Mr. Lippard lives near Sherrill's Ford. Very little of his household and kitchen furniture was saved. The Athenaen Literary Society of Catawba College, will have their an nual Declaimers' Contest tomorrow night at 9 o'clock in the college au ditorium. "One of Best In the South." Two of our most hlshlv nrizpH y. . j - - " cudnges we shall see no more. Wp greatly regret the passing of The ening Chronicle of Charlotte and ine btate Journal of Raleigh. Both gave us their last issues last The Chronicle was sold to The Char- ione .News, one of the brightest and best afternoon newspapers in the south. The Chronicle was a good pa perone of the best edited newspa pers in the state. But it lasted long er than it was due to last, for the simple reason that the city of Char lotte is not now and never has been large enough to support two afternoon newspapers. Either The News or The Chronicle had to go out of business. The Chronicle and The Observer, the morning paper of Charlotte, being published by the same company, it was better that The Chronicle should give way to its competitor, a newsoaper published by a different company, so that there would be no mononolv. We congratulate The News upon its prog ress. It stands for the highest things in life. We wish for it' a more years of usefulness. As for The State Journal it should have lived. It was well worthy of long life and pros perity. But the people of the state evidently did not think so, else they would have given it the sunport it richly deserved. As a weekly news paper if was unique and in a class bv itself Maybe the editors did not give ( the different opinions of people w it a fair trial.

It has done much for Charlotte during its life and it should be ai sweet memory with every person in rhnrinto Rut. as long as it had to retire from the field,! we are glad that it has been absorbed by The Charlotte News, which un doubtedly stands as one of the south's leading afternoon papers. It is ably edited possessed of a fine staff of writers otherwise is ever enterprising and is most attractive in every way. The News promises no let-down in its work now that it has th field tn it self, but pledges itself to even great er things, and The News' manage ment will keep the faith, too. Sc Charlotte folks mav confidently antic ipate a Greater Charlotte News. lhe second interesting announce ment was that of suspension of The State Journal, that excellent weeklv that was first conducted hv Messrs. Alex. J. Field and R. F. Beasley and recently solely by the former, the lat- ici x curing irom the editorial desk to be a candidate for congress. Lack of patronage, to justify such an expen sive periodical as The State Journal, is given. This is to be regretted, as The Journal was doing big things for North Carolina. It will not be loner, in the light of such advancement as is being made in North Carolina, before such a paper as The Journal will be m great demand, and it is a pity this particular publication could riot have weather! . the storm.

Tne ten dency has always been to crowd the newspaper field to the point where it is aimcuit to make a living or publish a good paper. When three or more newspapers undertake to exist where there is room for only two the mihh suffers in the character of the service it receives. One good newspaper in a field where there is only room for one can give the public better service than a half dozen papers in thn samp field.

Even towns the size of Norfolk and SUDDOrt two morning or two afternoon DaDers and while occasionally some one gets it into his head that the newspaper game is a gold mine' and he launches a paper, he soon begins to- realize dif ferently and then it is on,ly a matter of time, very short time; before he drops out of the game. The fact of the matter is that the newspaper business is not a mint, in a monetary way, nor a bed of roses in a mental way. When there gets to be more than one morn- i iug, or more man one aiternoon paper In a town tho ei7Q oron nf Tapltsnn. ville, Florida, the work becomes di vided and it is simply a question of the "survival of the fittest," while the public, as a rule, suffers for service and the men backing the newspapers lose big money. The result inevitably Is that one of the pair drops out and history has shown that the older is generally the one that survives, hav ing been the pioneer in the field, there fore understanding the situation bet ter and being well armed, so to speak, with equipment and subscribers. If one will notice it is generally the old er paper, in a matter of this kind, pro viding the older paper is one of cour age and independence, that invariably survives. This no matter how fine, how courageous the younger paper. It was so in Jacksonville and other cities. It is presented today in the Charlotte case and will be so else where.
