S SUNDAY, OCTOBE1V21, 1900. ADVERTISING CO .TIE 8 FIRST ilr. Frank Tettlenran. the manager of a New 'York "business house which handles a newly invented household tool, ascribes the extraordinary success of his firm chiefly -to -the thorflsh advertising f that article. Ho says: "We did not attempt to sell or to tend by traveling salesmen or ajrtmts until we hnd adver tised extensively. It is our experience that all our ids bring some returns." Vhat newspaper advertising does for one tiling it will do for another article. that is erroally meritorious. Ol It IMIlt POST, iven:y pages strong will go out to all the Ctate this morning, not only filled witn tne. latent new rroin .all -parts of the world communicated over our own special wire from Washington. bv;t frm every section of our "State. It will also impress upon the -public the many and tiasarpassea anracimns ot tne great State Fair wh'ich opens in this tity to morrow. Ortr friends, we feci sure, will find it interesting throughout. me lorning Post has a larger bona fide circulation in this State than any other morning paper published. I'aui Jruge.r has at last embarked tor the Fadorland, Hay the remainder of tho old hcroe'a days be syent in peace. The dispatch to The Post this morning concerning the condition of the soldiers just returned froni the iniilippines !s truly appalling. The transport just re ported is indeed a funeral ship, a vehicle of death, both of mind and body. And those reported to be following are of like character. Truly do the ; evils of this Asiatic enter prise assume heart-rending proportions.' Our northern Itepubiican friends con cede now .that if Bryan carries New York he will be elected and think they can lessen his chances of carrying that State by charging that if he does he will be indebted to Mr. Crokcr therefor. lie will be indebied to something over a quarter of a million of the people of the State, and Mr. Croker certainly cannot count up to this. Oottoa Is lower now than it ruled eome days ago, owing to the rapid marketing of the crop. soon as the rush Is over, we arc confident prices will react. We do not look for 12 or 13 cent rates, though the market may spurt up about these figures in the spring, but not to ttand -any longer than speculators can unload. We, do believe it win, go to 10 cents br pHng, and Btay in that neigh-! borhood. I The Fost enjoys the privilege of a communication today from an intelligent soldier in the Philippines, in which an insight into real conilitions as they exist nd promise is given. It is anything but promising, surely. Our correspond ent, who has been there for a year in active service, and who has evidently studied the people carefully, is still im pressed with the enormity as well as serious aspects of the job this govern ment has undertaken. The Philippines and what to do with them constitute a problem that will tax the best judg ment of our people. It Is not one that can or will le kicked out at the back door onto the iitter-pile. It will require tho greatest wisdom to deal with and settle it in a manner just to all con cerned. But present plans and purposes, so far as indicated, certainly are not assuring Federal officials are reported as en gaged in circulating copies of Judge Boyd's recent charge to the Greensboro grand ury citing federal laws relating to registration and voting. Copies are being sent to. registrars and officers of election. This is a piece of officious, yes pernic ious, meddling on the part of these offi cers, for which they deserve to be rebuked. These election officer know the law, federal and State. They know thui these laws do not contemplate the registration of those not entitled to register, and they have the courage to do just what they were appoiuted to do, to prevent such illegal registration. Any citizen clearly entitled to'register under the State law will no doubt be allowed to do.. The State alone prescribes the rules by which a person can claim the right to register. When this iaw has been faithfully com plied with no federal statute will be violated. The registrars will do their duty. This attempt at intimidation will uut avail. The Baltimore American has this to say. which is tinn-ly und worthy of the fullest endorsement: Olud-slinging campaigns are no longer popular in this country. In truth, the tinio has gone by when the people will either eudorse or countenance reckless attacks m personal character or whrde sala abuse of candidates. The political doctrines of a party und the teacuings of its leading representatives are always legitimate matters for discussion, but when stump siJei go further tnan this make charges which are not suscep tible of proof, denounce the leading statesmen of the country as political thieve und tricksters who cannot be trusted anJ who are inspired solely .by motive- of iwvrsonai gain, they are pretty wire to get the condemnation and not the commendation of their hearers. . It i? a pleasure to nute a very striking change for the better in this respect in h:s ore previous campaigns, and it is hoped that still further improvement may take place. Neither cause epithet nor vn!gar anecdote, nor wilful misrepre sentation can Jenefit either a candidate or a party in this day; indeed society has, happily, reached a condition that such methods are made to react on those who use them. Let the good work go on. crctlon but to follow the construction of the court. If the vourt is wrong, the legislature can settle with the tribunal. The Durham Ilerald rat-. "We have all along understood that It was considered a crime in this State to own stock in a trust, but have just learned that it is also considered crimi nal to own Mock in banks, cotton mills and other local enterprises. The time is rapidly approaching when it wall be considered criminal - to possess more of .ii. j 1 J' i l vz luxn uwiu a kuuus uiaa some Otuer uau. Our neighbor strikes hard at one of the most dangerous tendencies of the times. The indiscriminate abuse heaped upon successful men and enterprises has not only largely impaired confidence, but developed hypocricy to ,an extent that is truly appalling, specially when it is realized -that men who assume honorable social and church relations are too often foremost dn such conduct. It has come to pass that men "who themselves own stock in corpora tions, or who are the beneficiaries of such concerns can go- about and without blushing exhaust the vocabulary in denunciation of other men, and the very methods by which they either have accumulated what they have or from which they are drawing their incomes. And now, for a pvrson to attempt to address a political gathering or a Sunday school without holding up the terrible evils of money making by combinations perfectly legiti mate in themselves and known to be by the speaker, loses an opportunity to say something" smarter perhaps than some other speaker engaged in the same confidence-destroying habit. If half of what the pestiferous shallow-pated but high-flying aspirants for place or power say about corporations were true, the people would be justified in burning down every mill and factory and bank, in de stroying every railroad and hanging every mother's son connected with them to the u'-aiest limb. And as we say. very much of this miserable stuff is uttered by men who are owners of stock in ome one or more of these very enter prises, and know that if their utter ances can mean anything it is to con demn them and destroy the confidence cf people in the enterprises by which they live and' generally prosper. The demagogueism along this line has be come so bald that the people, fortunate ly, have -come to regard it at its worth, and to know that it is indulged in for deception purely. . Such methods have ell grown from the insidious teachings of Populism,- the avowed purpose of which was to array class against class, neighbor ngain&t neighbor, and discredit everybody eu gaged in successful and legitimate en terprises, specially corporations essential to the general prosperity of all It is time that 'those who attempt to keep up uch methods should; be .dis countenanced, and instead a better feel ing of co-operation among the people and all enterpiiscK encouraged.

THE 5ENAT0RSHIP We guess we will have to aJvise tho State Auditor not to go to jail. We were milled into two errors yes terday upon which we based the edito rial relating to the Supreme court man damus issued to comoel the State offi cers to pay Mr. Theophilus White cer tain moneys for services as an Shell fish Commissioner, (or however his of tice to others, in justice to 'ourself as well as to the others we will correct them. We stated, as we believed, that Mr. White had. rendered no service as Shell fish Commissioner, (or whatever his of Oce is designated) durmg the time for which he claimed pay. This we are in formed is incorrect; that Mr. White re fused from the firt to surrender his position, and continued to perform the duties thereof. The other error is that the sum the Supreme Court decided to be due Mr. White was not the sum the law of 1897 or that of 180t provided as the salary far the office held by him; whereas it is the To the Editor of The Post I desire to ca!l the attention of the Democrats of North iCaroliua and es pecially of old Harnett, my native. coun ty, to the fact that various men have been spoken of as candidates . for the position of United States senator. Now it is an evident fact .that there are nine Democrats who are candidates for a seat each in the nexl congress of the United States and it is also true that those Democrats are all lawyers. It is fur ther true that J. C. Pritehard isi a law yer and t elect the Hon. F. M. Simmons would make our entire delegation from the grand old State of North Carolina men. who belong to the legal profession. 'Now as we sincerely think, that all classes may be represented, let us give Gen. J. S. Oarr our support and ee to t that he is elected jn the primary on the th of November.

Yours very trulv, S. It. 'WILSON.' Barclaysrille, Harnett Co., N. G. Why We Should Vote for Carr Turlington. Harnett Co. Oct. 19. Editor of The Post: In tracinff ud his chamctorisiMna nm find he has been loyal and true to his fellow man. He has been n mioi' tr his neighbors. When the nonr nonn! of the town of Durham and elspw.hcrf r I were suffering for the lack of coal, wood ;and provisions, Julian S. Carr came to sum as fixed by the legislature of 1K)9 their rescue and supplied their needs as j ji minting one loar would gain odp; aim pure enougn it was true. J. S orue smart Yankee got up and had patented a puzzle something on the order of 'Tigajn. Clover," calling it "Teddys Teeth'- ft -promised to be intensely pop ular, and therefore profitable, but the Secretary of the Interior fearing that so much "fun base o:: the teeth of the ice presidential candidate of his party would add to the ridicule Teddy has ai reaiy brou-ht upon himself has had the letters-patent for tht new puzzle de stroyed. t He has not yet attempted to suppress Tedly teeth, however for the officer, performing these duties,: and, as, in accordance with the de cision of the court that Mr. White could not be deprived of the office, he was en titled to the pay the legislature had said shonld be-pnid-snrh effieer. This being so, the court having decided Mr. White alone could perform the duties of this office, and that he could only claim the salary prescribed by the legis lature, it seems clear that it is the duty of the Auditor to. issue his warrant accordingly. A mandamus was there fore not necessary. We got the impression that the sum decided to be due this commissioner was a sort of compromise reached by the court itself in its efforts to reconcile the acts of ISO!) with its determination to continue Mr. White in office. We have said before, and believe now, that the application erf the decision in the case of Hoke versus Henderson to such cases nsthis Oyster Commissioner was such a sketch of the intent and purpose of that decision as to render it ridiculous. How ever. Mr. White was declared to be en titled to continue in office until the term prescribed in tlv act under which he entered upon his duties expired, but could onlv draw the pay fixed by th? act of 1809 for the officer performing such duties. This leaves the "Auditor no dis- Carr never heard the cry of the poor without responding in their behalf.- He is saying to the poor girls of North Carolina: "Go to yonder school, it shall cost you nothing." He is paying to the poor boys of the State: "HaTe courage nnd fight the battle like a man, and can I heln you I will do so without a frown." IIe is saying to the people: "I am your friend both politically and religiously." He has said to the schools and colleges: "My money vaults are open to you. take, therefore, and rejoice." Such are the characteristics of Gen. Carr, of Durham. Those things he has done without a single eye on other's purses in return. It may be well said, that if J -S. Carr reaches the place to which he is a candidate, the neonle of our dear old native land will rejoice with songs -of triumph, that Marion Butler's name wili be no more. Go to work and let's vote for that man that even the birds of the forest would, if they could talk, send up three cheers in his behalf, and would Ping until death if It would cause Julian S. Carr to be our next Senator. . SETII PARIUSH.
