Non-Advertising Merchants.
Although merchants in t h e ;
I
Pjjjjjjler towns and cities throughout
the country are the ones who com
plain most bitterly of the competi
t;0n of mail order houses, many of
tbee very men refuse to adopt the ! j
means which made competitois
advertising. In a receut i
pioyt i & ,
lSSUe . J
Courier, the editor makes some
very interesting and pertinent re
marks regarding the non advertis
jug merchant:
"The country merchant deplores

a,e also at his disposal. Through
word
they tell the public what they have ;
to sell.
'Experience has shown that
quality for quality the local uier-
chauts' prices are no higher thau
those of the mail order house and j
they save the purcnaser irauspor j
tation charges. The difference is j
that the mail order house tells the;
pablie what it has to sell and the !
non advertising merchant does not,
'The latter frequently advances
the argument against advertising
that everyone knows where his
store is and what he has to sell.
He is wrong. Everyone does not
koow what he has to sell. If he j
doubts this let him compare hisi
prtscui stock with
that of five)
years, three years or even oue year :
a.go and note the many uew things
he has on his floors or shelves, new
things that are the product of in

lashioos. He keeps abreast ot the
market changes but all his custom
trs do not, hence they do not know
vhat he has to sell.

Mr. J. A. Hartness. Clerk of the
Superior Court of Iredeil county,
has -aunouuced himself as a can-
uidate for Secretary of Stale, Col.
J. Bryan OHmes, we believe, was
elected to this ofiiee iu 11)00 and
has held it ever since. He seems
to think that nothing but death
should separate him from his job.
He is now serving his fourth term
of four years. It is understood
that Mr. Hartness intends to make
his campaign on the issue of rota
tiou in office He and friends will
claim that Col. Grimes has held
the office long enough and the
Times Leader is inclined to agree
with them But this issue may
prove a little embarrsiug to Mr.
Hartuess iu view ot the fact that
he has not been practicing rotation
over in Iredell where he has hld
on to tiie Clerk's office fur about J5
year. It our memory is not at
fault be was elected Clerk of the
Court of Iredell couuiy at the same
election at hich Col Grimes was

Auto Mail Service, Post Road
Route, Probable.
Postmaster Galloway stated to a Senti
ncl representative that he is expecting
the department at Washington to take
some action early in the new year as to
the request for the establishment of an
auto mail delivery route on the govern
ment post road between this city and
Statesville.
Some months ago Mr. P H. Hanes.made
a request of Senator Simmons and Sena
tor Overman, as well as of congressmen
iu this section, that they take the matter
up with the postmaster general and secure
this extension of the service for Winston
Salem, Mocksvilie and Statesville. and
convenience for the progressive farmers
residing along the route. Mr. Hanes also
took the matter up with the department
personally.
Postmaster Galloway says that he has
had several communications from the de
partment asking for data on the route and
it is his impression that some action will
be taken close to the beginning of the new
year The extension will be principally
in the interest of the parcel post business,
featuring this service for the farmers who
desire to market their products by mail.
It is a comparatively new departure
,d the service has only been established
and
on highways that have been .constructed
under the supervision of the office of good
roads qonnected,,withhe department of

God Pity The South!
God pity the south! Yet, the
Deity has givenr it His best. It is
a land of flowers and fruit, of sun
shine and beauty possessed of a
soil of wonderful fertility and a
climate that rivals that of Italy.
The trouble is that it is fetter d
and bound by prejudices that are
75 years old, and these still control
it, although they constantly bring
upon it economic disaster. The
Wilson tariff bill of the Cleveland
administration staggered industry
everywhere; but it absolutely pros
trated the south, Huudreds of her
most useful business men went into
bankruptcy, and her sheep men,
her cattle men and her cotton men
were alike brought to poverty.
Sixteen years have passed years
of almost unparalleled prosperity
to the south. Her products have
been restored to good prices, and
her people have leceived great re
wards lor their industry and toil,
ft is needless to say, that they
should have been thankful; but
they have not the old prejudices
were in the way.
A "Soulid South" has again
helped to bring the Democratic
party into national power and again
must a "Solid South" pay the
penalty.
One can see conventions being
held, resolutions being passed, elo
quent telegrams being seut, all by
men who voted the Democratic
ticket last year.
The cattle men have made war
like demonstrations, but they
frighten nobody, because every
body knows that our cattle men
pray for one thing and vote for
another.
The same thing is true of the
wool men, the sugar producers and
the cotton farmers. The Dcmo
cratic leaders know that all of these
men will walk up to the polls and
vote the Democratic ticket, regard
less of how they may suffer when
the Democratic party is in power.
The leaders natuially do not
worry over the south. They worry
over the north, because tbey must
carry some cheap foodstuffs, cheap
wool, cheap cotton. Tbey give the
north what they want cheap
fruits, cheap foodstuffs cheap wool,
cheap cotton. They give t he south
a kick!. They know the south
will take it submissively and vote
the ticket, straight. They know
tt at prfjudh'e.- an- stronger than
fpasou, and that the south does not
uud will not ream.
God pity the south! San An

A TWICE-TOLD TALE.
- .One of Interest to Our Reader.
Good news bears repeating, and where
it is confirmed after a long lapse of time,
even if we hesitated to believe it at firs.t
hearing, we feel secure in accepting its
truth now. The following experience of a
Winston Salem man is confirmed after
six years.
E. O. Curtis, 918 Chestnut St.. Winston
Salem, N. C, say: "I suffered a great deal
from pains in the small of my back. My
whole system seemed out of order. I lost
flesh, couldn't sleep well and at times was
nervous. My system was filled with uiic
acid. Doan's Kidney Pills rid my system
of uric acid and strengthened my kidneys.
I now feel better in every way." (State
ment given December 27th, 1907.)
OVER SIX YEARS LATER, Mr. Curtis
said: "Doan's Kidney Pill have done
more for me than any other kidney medi
cine I have ever taken. I still use them
once in awhile."

ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kid

Oat Against Wilson.
Worcester, Mass., Dispatch.
A convention described as le
presenting 6 organizations of German-Americans,
with a member
ship ol 20,000 in this State, today
adopted a resolution "firmly op
posing" the re election of President
Wilson.
The meeting was called by John
Albrecht Wa!z, professor of Ger
man literature at Harvard Univer
sity and State chairman of the
German National Alliance. The
purpose was said to be largely to
induce Americans of German de
scent to take a more active iuterest
in political affairs, and no perman
ent organization was attempted.
Announcement had been made
previously that the gathering pro
bably would indorse one of the
candidates' for Governor at the
state election next month, but it
was decided not to take such a
step. '
The resolution, w h ic h was
adopted after considerable debate,
follows: '
"Itesolved, That we American
citizens, assembled at Worcester,
do not desire as an organization to
indorse any candidate for Gorver
nor, but we believe in the clesiia
bility of unitedly discussing the
question of the gubernatorial can
didales. We are, however, firmly
opposed to the re election of Wood
row Wilson as Presideut of the
United States."
8EWARE of OINTMENTS for CATARRH THAT
CONTAIN MERCURY.
There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion o the country thau all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurables- For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease and prescribed local remecliee,
aud by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by P. J. Che
uey& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
ouly constitutional cure ou the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a tea&poonful. I t
acts directly on the blood and mu
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send or cir
culars and testimonials.
