It is not necessary to go to Iowa or Pennsylvania or California for an example. In ten years the South has doubled its agricultural yield.

The next Legislature will have the important duty of selecting a successor to Senator Simmons to the United States Senate - There are many reasons why he should succeed himself. If you 'ask what has he done. I present his record. It speaks with more force than 'any word of mine. .V ' . - : . '-" . . He has studied the needs of the state. He knows her great resources of soil, agriculture, mining, manufac turing and commerce.; He has labor ed for the advancement of them all. His labors in the Senate have been for the furtherance of every Indus-1 try in the state. His untiring efforts in getting appropriations for rivers and harbors and public buildings are too well known to comment upon, and yet he has never asked for mo ney from the public treasure that has not been well and wisely spent The appropriations for the canal to connect Pamlico sound with' the ocean for the Cape Fear river the Dismal. Swamp, the Albermarle sound with the Norfolk harbor, and the many public buildings appropri ations speak for themselves. No man can travel through the state without seeing the experimental works in agriculture, much of which is due to the efforts of Senator Simmons. His bill to aid in budding our public roads will greatly improve our road eastern. " ;').; . ' Another important reason why Senator Simmons should be re-elected is that Senaton Bailey,' of Texas, will not be a candidate for re-election,, and that will "make Senator Simmons the tanking Democrat on the Fioance Committee, and in the event we carry the election in 1912 (as doubtless we .will) be will be chairman of that committee, and the chairmanship of that committee car ries with it the leadership of the senate. His experience, his wide in fluence in the Senate, his wisdom1 as legislator,' his knowledge Vf the needs of the'' people, Make him the logical candidate to succeed himself And lest we forget, we should look back to the unbearable condition in North Carolina- under the fusion regime. It was at the. critical mo ment that Senator Simmons accept ed the chairmanship of the Demo cratic party, and With faith and fi delity to his party and With a cone axe unequalled in North Carolina politics he led his party to victory.

Bai far taalest Way te leack , the faepU. -', : ' ' ? Almost every town and city has its merchants who figure every cent spent for newspaper advertising in the nature of a donation to the pub lisher. They are always ready to de nounce the mall order houses,) and have the newspapers help them do so, but their own advertising is done with reluctance. ' ; :. But all merchants who do not ad vertise are not nnprogreesive. Of ten it is simply because they have not been awakened to Its value. Spreading the doctrine of advertis ing may not be the duty -of the1 edi tor or publisher,, but doing sd Is a good thing from a business stand point ' ; . - ' ' .. ;" Local . merchants must admit that the mail, order house has as much right to do business as you have. .-:" . ', ; -'i.i "Yon should treat this competitor with the same spirit of fairness as you treat all your other competitors. Competition should only spur yon to greater activity and to adopt better methods in conducting your bust-; ness. A. good competitor is always more beneficial than detrimental to your business. : ; . i "There is no territory that you ean claim exclusively as your territory, around which you might build a fence and compel the people to purchase from you.

There is a territory that you may call your territory; you know the people, know their habits and desires and know their purchas ing power (at least you ought, to), you are living with these people, you are ready (or at least should be ready) to help them build schools, churches and streets and all other improvements which help to build up a community in which it is a pleasure to live.

Heat 6 After Paapla. '"But one thing is certain, you must get after this business. It is a mistake to assume that these people must or should come to your store. The public at large admires the merchant that is after the busi ness , You must get in line with all your progressive competitors and show your customer that you appre ciate his business. . It is enough that you keep a stock of goods such as your customers like to purchase, but you must let them know that you have these goods. Your cus tomers are busy people; they have no time to inquire about your goods and prices. ' You must advertise, and advertise right 1 But one thing is absolutely cer tain, if you want to succeed in the twentieth century, you mufit apply twentieth century business methods. You must advertise your goods. "Your home paper is the cheapest means by which you can speak to your customers, because it reaches so many of them. Your customers believe in your home paper, for fake advertisements are generally omit ted. All you have to do is to write your ad. the local newspapers , take care of the rest They see to it that it is properly sent to the homes where it is read by every member of the families that know you. If your ads attract attention, they can't help but bring results. In this century the public has much more confidence in the merchant that advertises than in the one that seems to be afraid of showing his goods together with his prices in the public-home market place, the columns of your local pa per, the best medium for local ad vertisers." -A. 0.

The last time he got it back was f oar years ago. He sent it to a retail mail order house. He has never seen that dollar since, nor never will That dollar will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will not build or brighten any of die homes of the community.
