Some Wise Suggestions from a Wes tern Han Wake Up, Dead Towns, and Become a Blessing to Your Peo ple and Section Public Spirit and a Little Capital Will Do the Business. I Manufacturers' Kecord.l Two weeks ago Mr.T. C. Tipton, of Loudon, Tenn., asked the Manufac turers' Record "how to wake a dead town." Mr Tipton told ot the many natural advantages of Loudon, but pointed out how, from lack oi energy and enterprise and because of the work oi the never-dying croakers, these ad vantages were not utilized, and how, Lecause of this, the town, like hundreds of others, was to all intents and pur poses dead. The Manufacturers' Record published his letter, and asked for suggestions as to how to quicken into life these dead towns that are a curse to themselves and to the coun try. Without life they furnish no em ployment, no opportunities for the young, who must either grow up in idleness or seek some new field in which to find a chance to work and live. Wake up, dead towns, and become a blessing to your people and your section! From an Indiana subscriber to the Manufacturers' Record we have the following letter, which we commend to our readers, for it tells what enterprise can do in waking dead towns to life and creating employment for their people: Indianapolis, Ixd., August 30. Editor Manufacturers'1 Record. lu your issue of August 23 Mr. T. C. Tipton, of Loudon, Tenu., asks how to wake a dead town. I want to say that I never learned of a town that did "wake up" until every inhabitant took a financial interest in some manner, usually by aiding some factory enter prise, or through advertising and con tinuous advertising, not for a week, but for years in selected advertising me diums. A good medium costs money, but we et what we pay for every time. I believe lheManufacturers'' Iiecordhsvs been and is today, doing more for the advancement of Southern interests than all other papers and magazines com bined. I take it auu read it, and my neighbors come and borrow it, and when they return it one would thiuk it had been used for ten years. As a result of the Manufacturer's Record being in my home, I took an interest iu a large orchard company at Marshallvtllc, Ga., called Hed Clay Orchard Co. Mine is only one case, for my copy of the Man ufacturers'1 Record has been the means of causing Northern capital to go South to the auouut of $25,000. I am an Indiana man, and so are ail my invest ing frieuds. Now, there are thousands of dollars of Northern capital lying in the banks and safety vaults not only in Indianapolis, but in all large cities, only waiting a favorablo opportunity for in vestment. But those towns wanting financial aid must first show their owu confidence by leading off, then the out side capital will follow. Let ' me tell 3'our readers that in Iudiana in seven years' time there were raised bonuses aggregating upwards of $1,000,000 iu only twelve towns. What did these towns do? Why ther gave this money to factories that had capital of over $20, 000,000, employing upward of 20,000 hands, a weekly pay-roll ot 4UU,U00 and an annual output of products ex ceeding the amount ot capital stock I kuow a small town of 1500 souls which wanted a factory, and wanted it badly. A meeting of business men was called; fifteen were present; out of the fifteen a self-constituted committee was appoin ted on ways and means to get up a sub scription. One man who owned 200 acres of land oifered to donate forty acres valued at $10,000. llis otter was accepted, the laud was platted, and within three uays every person auie io buy a lot (except an occasional croaker, whom we hare with us as well as the Ilea and serpent in every town,) bought of these 100 lots, and raised $10,000 in easy payments. Two years ago that town did not circulate $1000 a month, including every store; today they pay out iu wages over $3000 per week for help alone, and another big plant is building, while new stores and dwellings arc goingup on every hand. Moreover, every man, woman and child feels the beneficial eilects oi me uisiriouuou o money, and no one wuiius work is idle. You aay you can't do the same thing, aud can't get the factory if you would? You can't do anythiug unless you try. While en route South last month I noticed many idle "hands" lounging around stores and holding a nost'down big men playing marbles, others playing chess, shooting craps men who looked to me as if ttey h.ad brains for better business, and should be earniug something for themselves and their families. Some say they have no means. Then lot a tbw that have means joiu hands and start the ball rolling; get your advertisement started; announce to the world that your town is there, and let eveiy soul that enjoys the town's privileges be instructed to talk out in meetiug, in the country, in j other cities, everywhere, that Youjto.wu j is awake, and tha$ i$ Sr place to j live in aud invest nioney iu, and that ; your' people are enterprising aud full j of push. Sometimes it pay to eugage an experienced promoter, but make ! sure ot your man; he can only aid in ; securing industrial enterprises. While South early this year I had the pleasure of meeting several distinguished gentle men who are doing what the Manufacl- j urers' Record is accomplishing and &V j vocating, viz, induciug s.ettl-a'npap- ! ! italists to come &ov;tU. it looks like the capitalists anu seiners were tioing it with a good will. Gov. W. J. Northen is dolug good work, so also is Hon. J. L. Hand, of Pelham, Ga. I believe Senator Hand will succeed in, securiug the location of a large sanita rium and hotel for his town, ?lk,am. I Judge Joseph Tillma,u, of tyuitinan, is also one of the right stripe to aid the upbuilding of the South. E. M. Rumph, of Marshallville, Ga., is doing great good in settling up his section. But these men are to be admired for their stick-to-it-ivene8, which has brought the success that has already crowued their earlier efforts. Let not friend Tipton, of Loudon, Tenn., or others in other dead towns despair. You lead oft' and make an elfort and try what you can do, as we never know without trying. I will tell a true story here about an Arkansas town. The people wanted a factory badly, and concluded that a "saw mill and sucker-rod plant" would be the ideal for their quiet place to shake up the dust and pick up the idle and give the idler work, that he might have money to pay his grocery bill. The chairman of the meeting was directed to write to an Indianapolis firm for the cost of a complete "mill." The letter was answered, and in a few days a re ply came from the chairman that $800 was all the money the town could raise, aud if they had the $1500 demanded for such a "mill," what in "hades" would they want of a saw mill? I felt sorry for the town, for there were a few enterprising spirits there, and I trust that that kind of luck will not deter others from trying, for where there is a will there is away. Now get to work and find it. G. W. Cross. COUNT THE MERCIES. BY MARY D. JAMES. Count the Mercies. Count the Mercies. Number all the sifts of love.

Hints About Advertising. Printers lnk.J One line well written is worth a col umn carelessly prepared. The ad. should attract attention but respectful attention. Displaying everything has only the effect of killing the object of displaying anything. One-half of the world would not know what the other half has for sale were it lor advertising. Let your ad be out of the ordinary, but not too much so freaks do not at tract tho best attention. How plainly a liiah building can be seen among small ones! How easily a boldlv displayed ad stands out from the rest. A satisfied customer is a good adver tisement, but to secure the customers to be satisfied is the first problem. Ad vertising will do it. You can interest people while you are talking to them, but the minute you stop the interest ceases. It is precisely the same way with your ad vertising. Too much shouting may frighten people, but don't forget to shout loud enough to let them know who you are, and wlieae you are, and what you afe there for. The Lease Approved. Greensroro, Sept. 17 The agony over the North Carolina Railroad is at last over. A called meeting of the ! stockholders of this road was held here this afternoon, and for the first time ! since 1893 a quorum, was present. The ! directors agreed two years ago to al i low tV,S aiUoad to be listed for taxes, hiit the stockholders were unwilling and remained away from the meetings in order to prevent a quorum, so that the action of the directors might not be ratified. Now, however, since the Southern has leased the road and will pay the taxes, there was no excuse Jar not ratifying the withdrawal of the tax exemption. At 4-$ oclock when the stockholders, were on the point of h$ asserablirng, a telegram came from the Governor insisting on a surrender of the exemption. About 4 o'clock the stockholders met and agreed to sur render. Judge Burwell was wad temporary chairman and IV- Benbow secretary, to Whea tB vote ratify the leasing o 149 road to the Southern was taken, not a dissenting voice was I heard, SAM JONES' SAYINGS. CHARACTERISTIC EYPRESSIOlfS SAND WICHED IN HIS SERMONS. Slugs of Slang and Wads of Wisdom Hurled at Winston-Salem People by the Great Evangelist He Abuses and Blackguards His Audiences but They "Hear Him (Madly." Winston Sentinel. J Some of you old fellows from the country, setting there and with $5 in your pocket and won't give a cent. I You ought to get more hair "and a snout and tail ami go to eatin, corn. There's a stranger here . One fellow put iu a dollar. He don't live in this town. It the devil don't git you, Bud, it'll be because he don't want you. The Methodists here pay their pas tor $1800, and the Baptists $1200. Guess that's about the right propor tion. You see you can ship one-third cheaper by water. I'd rather be a chain gang nigger in the Georgia penitentiary than to be a method ist that voted for whiskey. You won't be dead and in hell two years before Sallie will have another fellow sitting on the front porch brag ging about marrying your widow. When I see an old maid, I am sure some fellow ain't done his duty. When I see an old bachelor, I think of a hog. Your wile's got as much right to drink whiskey and get drunk as you have, you lousy scoundrel. The girls are as pure as the morn ing dew, but God pity the crowd they've got to dance with. It one of these dancing dudes is all right it is the first one I ever saw. I want his picture to show around. We need some daddies that will meet the danciug buck at the door and kick him over the front gate and say, Good-by, John. You girls that don't know anything but to dance. You'll evaporate some day and leave some bangs and slippers on the floor. I like a fast horse, but a slow gal. I like a drukard better than I do a close-fisted stingy devil. There's hope for the drunkard. If you get him sober you may make a man of him. But if a fellow's no account, drunk or sober, the jig's up. If all hogs had bristles hair mat tresses would go down to 5 cents a pound. Money makes the filly go. It makes everything go that has hair and makes the bald-headed man go toler ably well. Congress got so it couldn't pass anything couldn't even pass a sa loon. When one of these dirty little law. yers wallows in hell fire he'll say he's there as an attorney. If I was running a soap factory in hell and they brought along your car cass, I'd tell 'em I had nothing to deor- donze such a carcass. A horse thief is a gentleman beside the man that votes for liquor. I have only one objection to a sa loon keeper. The same I have to a louse he gets his living off the head of the family. If you see and old sister that don't like Sam Jones, it's no sign she's mean, but she's a fool. The troubles is above her eyes. I promised my wife to take care of her husband and I'm going to do it. Ifyou can put up with fourteen sa loons the year round, you've got to put up with me a week. You go around and drink whiskey and says it's nobody's business. You are a liar, you scoundrel, you. If they'd put you up in an ash hopper and pour water over you, you'd drip lye, you dirty dog, you. j If you preachers will hold while I j skin, we'll make hides go down in this market. Nobody but an infernal fool will drink whiskey, nobody but a disrepu table person will sell it, and none but a damnable town will license it. What have you preachers been doing? Shoot, Luke, or give up your gun. I'm going to tell you the truth if you lick me three times a day and send my dead Body to my wife and children. I don't abuse any other denomina tion except the Methodist. Don't have time. When I get through with them it's bed time. You folks that take the front seats and come to roost before sundown you ought to pay storage. K i r . II X 1 1-III Utlt iKJk IllUlJtjr, ' your soul, I'd left after the first col lection. I've seen a town where a woman wouldn't give $5, but this the first town where a thing with breeches wouldn't give more than a dollar. tvery criminal mai goes unwnipe of justice is a menace to good citizen- ship. T nnrloecnKc in i trturn is n W 1 ft of anarchy. Policemen find everything that the sentiment of the town demands they shall find. If I was Mayor of this town, you'd have to stay at home, old buck. No gentleman will do anything he denies his wife the privilege ol doing. Your Uncle Jones lifts the same standard for- himself as he ftos for his wife. I propose to do you up and put you in decent shape, you dirty scoundrel. Make Sam Jones Mayer and he'd set up with you bftcks. He'd make you decent or make you leave town. The difference between Sam Jones and many preachers is that Sam Jones preaches like he thinks and they think like they preach. I'd rather be Bob Ingersoll than a cowardly, time serving preacher. Old church members charging 12 per cent, interest. If you were in hell you'd have the whole country under mortgage before the year's out. When me and ray wife ride the same horse, I'm going to be in front. A-gent for your wife! Pay your debts and- you won't have to be agent then. . , Turn an old dog loose in heaven and he'd be out before breakfast, chinking gold off the golden streets. Preachers, load your old fusilade with buck shot, and then you pull the trigger there'll be a dead dog. When you are in hell ' frying, you'll feel a heap worse than you do now. I believe if all the members of the church in Winston were to get to heaven you'd have to sleep with your breeches under your head. They'd rob you. If you are mad, beg ray pardon and I'll forgive you. I don't bear any malice. I like bangs. I always thought they were becoming to women and mules., Winston is a dandy. Aint she preachers? This is scalding and scouring day in this town. Bad day for chinches, too. Some of you think Sam Jones shoots of his mouth half cocked. It's a mis take. When his mouth goes off the hammer is pulled clear back. If you go away yelping folks will say, there goes one of Sam Jones' hit dogs. There's a possum up the tree. Wait about twenty minutes longer. I'm go ing to smoke him out. A little fellow says, "I'll hold you personally responsible." I'll catch you on my finger nail and come down on you. That's the way they killed 'em when I was a kid. Some of you choir folks get up and sing "Come to Jesus," when you were never in a hundred miles of there your self. You don't know the way. You ought to sing "Go." You old sisters saying it ain't any harm to dance. There's hope for you. God has made special arrangements for idiots and children. I think I can pull you through. I'd quit my deviltry, or I'd quit the church. They say fish is good for the brain. If I was the father ot some of you I'd buy a whale and make you eat it all at one time. God never made a fish with fins until He had made an ocean for it to swim in. He never made a bird until He had made the air for it to fly in. He never put a soul in man until He made a heaven for him to live in. A puppy gets its eyes open in nine days. There are church members here forty years old that haven t got their eyes open yet. Publications Required by Law. The following extract taken from the annual report of the North Carolina Press Association will doubtless be of benefit to county officials who may not be familiar with or comply strictly with the law in every case, and we suggest that our county officials clip thin article and keep it for reference: Section 219 requires service of sum mons by publication, in certain caseti, once a week for six weeks. Section 332 requires publication of warrants of attachment once a week for for four weeks. Section 3"G requires publication ouce a week for four weeks, of all sales of real estate under execution. Section olo requires the publication once a week for six weeks of a notice to creditors when any person applies to u te fnr liU homestead Section u t r requires the publication oi j prominence, auu cvci y pcisuu in auy the notice of incorporation by the clerk. . wise interested in this exposition, every Section 713 requires the publication peon proposing to become an exhib once a week for four weeks, of the amount, f r h Ho.ihtW r etc., audited bv the county commission- ltor of visitor has doubtless pro ers to themselves. ! pounded the mquiry, whether the Section 752 requires theconunissiouera I Southern railroads are equal to the to publish their annual statement Section 788 requires executors, etc., to publish once a week for sir weeks a notice to creditors. Section 1432 requires the clerk, in cer tain cases, to publish a notice tocreditors once a week for six weeks. Section 1783 requires publication for two weeks in enforcing a mechanic's lien. Chapter 242, laws of 1889, requires publication of county treasurer' state ment. Chapter 580, laws of 1891, requires clerks of the Superior court to publish their aunual reports of public funds in their hands. Chapter 296, laws of 1893, (which is the usual "machinery act" for collecting taxes,) provides for several publications, : as win ue seen uy reierence w ureiiuun 24, 30, .'18, 51 and 11 2. And this is the way lawyer-, clerks, counl commissioners, executors and administrators might help their county papers; perform their duties and aid in carrying out the laws of the laud.

A Grand Success in Every Particular The Government Exhibit to Equal that of Chicago Building and Exhibit of the Southern Railway. The most important event of the current year to this country, and es pecially to the South, and still more especially to the city of Atlanta ami the State of Georgia, is the Cotton States and International Exposition which was formally opened at Atlanta, Ga., on the 18th day of September, and closes on the 31st day of Decem ber. That a Southern city of about no, 000 population should have the enter prise and public spirit, not to say the temerity, to undertake, almost single handed, an enterprise so wide in its scope, so mammoth in its proportions and requiring such a vast outlay of money as to richly entitle it to the designation of "International," in the face of a universal commercial depres sion and financial panic, and that At lanta, Ga., which was left but little more than a heap of ashes and smoul dering ruins, with its population of 10,000 scattered and homeless by Sherman's army, when it took up its famous "March to the Sea," should be that city, it is not surprising that the first suggestions of such an enter prise were received with general mis giving and that even the Southern States and cities counselled against it, and were slow to come to the assitance of a sister city in an undertaking which at such a time was regarded as hazard ous in the extreme and too mammoth to promise even a measurable degree of accomplishment. A visit to Piedmont Park, however, about two miles north of the center of Atlanta, will dispel every doubt of the realization of a degree of success sur passing the most sanguine expectations of the projectors of the Cotton States and International Exposition. From the roof garden of the new and modern "Aragon Hotel," which occupies the highest hill in this hill city, a magnificent panoramic view of the city and its surroundings is af lorded. All arouna you, spread over hills and valleys, just sufficiently pro nounced to afford pleasing variety to the topography, is the compact, well built, hustling Chicago of the South, Gate City of the South, Atlanta, with ifs wealth of well-paved streets and avenues, laid out apparently regardless of rule or plan, which join the macad amized roads that lead through the picturesque suburbs to the rich farming lands beyond There is an appearance - of solidity, grandeur and beauty in her public buildings, her hundred . churches, her seminaries, colleges, numerous public school houses, her Henry Grady Hos pital, her stores and private houses, suggestive of abundant building mate rial near by, and looking away to the east, fourteen miles across the foothills, the famous Si ne Mountain looms up a solid mountain of granite, where immense quariics are operated now but where, thirty-one years ago, grim visaged war held sway and thousand were slain, and their blood trickled over the rugged granite sides of Stone Mountain. In looking over these lovely hills and valleys, clad in the gladness of Southern verdue and yielding abund antly to the hand of the happy bus bandman, it is difficult to realize that it was ever the theater of war, and that the soil was literally soaked with fraternal blood. In such an undertaking the question ! of transportation is one of natural emergency of handling the enormous travel and traffic to and from Atlanta during the period of the exposition. This question of course has long since been answered to their satisfaction by the Committee on Transportation of i he Atlanta Fair; but for the benefit of many who acquired their knowledge of the railroads of the South during a period of tenor fifteen yearssucceeding the close of the war, perhaps it will be well to say that no comparison can be well drawn between the miserable apologies lor railroads in the South during that period, with the really splendid roadbeds and equipment and service of the present. Atlanta is essentially a railroad city and a great railroad center, having roads, and good ones, radiating to every section of the country. But without considering any of the others, there is one system fully capable of handling expeditiously, comfortably and satisfactorily, all the travel and traffic to and from the exposition from anv and every direction, and that is the great combination operated by a single management, with headquarters at Washington, D. C, under the name of the Southern Railway. One of its lines has its northern ter minus at Washington, and over it is operated a fast through service in con nection with the Pennsylvania Rail road from New York, through Phila delphia, Baltimore, Washington and Atlanta lo all parts of the South and Southwest, including New Orleans and points in Florida, and which makes the run from New York to Atlanta in 24 hoars. Not only s', but its connec- tions in other directions enable it to give the same first-class service to pas. sengers from the. West and Northwest. So important is this great railroad system to the success of the exposition , and so hearty has been us interest in the undertaking and its co operation with the managers of the exposition, that it has been accorded exceptional, privileges and will be, the only road . laving tracks in Piedmont Park, which . will enable it to land passengers from j any direction, without change f cars, ; either in the Park or in the Lni.m , depot in Atlanta, as they may prcK r. j The Southern Railway has ahvas manifestel the most generous interest in every e; erprise or effort to promoti the welfare of the South, and will i.uke a most interesting exhibit ir a ham some building which it has erected ;r.
