The Case of Lloyd.
Cnarlotte Hews,
"Before w allow the election to fall
back into history, we may point a moral
and adorn a tale by considering the case
of James B. JLloj d.; In, the second con-
gressional district there are just enough
whites to defeat the negro candidates
when all the whites vote together. Two
years ago this district sent to congress a
negro, ueorge n. Wnite, the only negro j
representative.; . u
At the beginning of the campaign this
J?.ar White was renominated. The Pop-
UjBt8 abOUt the RSfTIW time t
put up as a
candidate James B. Lloyd. In order to
unite the white vote of the district, so as
to defeat the negro, the Democratic con
vention did not make any nomination,
leaving the Democrats free to vote fori
Lloyd in case be declared for white su

The Small Advertiser.
Western Advertiser. . ,
There seems to be an idea ore valent
that advertising is for large dealers only.
This belief has kept many a small mer
chant from improving his opportunities'
in tnis direction. -- -
Nearly if not all the large retail mer
chants of the United States have become
so by extensive advertising. The adveN
using wbicn they bave done is not the
sole cause of their success, but it baa been
the greatest contributing cause. Most
all large enterprises which are successful
nave begun on a small scale. The adver
tising was done in a" small way. but it
has been kept up day after day and year
alter year.? ..
uood business methods, untiring Indus
try and good advertising are the factors
wnicn bring success in business, v r I i
Do not be afraid of being overshadowed
by the big advertiser. ; Many times the
well-worded reader of only a few lines
will reach, the eyes of more readers than
the pretentious display of the larger
store. It tells the peopte you have goods
to sen, and wnat you will sell them for;
lastn w au tne mg store can say. it is
the price that sells the goods. A dealer!
be he the corner grocer or the largest
dealer in general merchandise in the city,

There are compensations for the Demo-
ocrats in not having the next house to
organize. Senators Uortnau and Tillman
pointed them out before election, when
ley said that the burdens of the bouse
would disorganize, distract and embitter
the factions of the party and impair its
strength for 1900. But now the Repub
licans must bear thefull responsibility for
whatever happens fn either branch, in the
heavens and on earth. There is no prac
tical use in having responsibility without
power. As a party, trm Democrats are
better off for losing the house of reo-
resentatives.

the English parliamentarian. He walked
over to Chamberlain's table, and, quite
uninvited, took the opposite eeat. With

ing Chamberlain what a third rate out
fit be considered England to be. - The
man's talk, needless to say, was in very
rank taste. Chamberlain adjusted his
monocle firmly and looked at the ob
trusive chap amusedly. k
'Now, we'll take England in the
matter of great men," said Chamber-
Iain's uninvited table mate. ' " Where
does England cut in in the matter of
great men nowadays, anyhow? England
has got Gladstone, of course, but he
was born about 110 years ago, and he's
a back number. I'll just ask you, Mr.
Chamberlain, a fair question,. What
really great man, what noted character,
has England pxoduoed, say, within the
past 50 years? Answer me that, sir T V
