JAM AKY 20.1905 RETAILERS PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION ft has struck us as rather strange that the merchants el Williamson do not keep nj their protective association Recently in talking with a mer chant from Scot laud Nock, where thin association is in lull shape, your editor was told that when the merchant* organize'! and made known their organi sation, its rule- and object that moat all of thm- merchants' small accouuta wen* paid im mediately and s«niie that were over two years old. lie never expected to collect them ami said it was like tiuding money. The merchants from another town told us iu the -"tfaiite con nection that he was telling of this organization and how it worked in Scotland Neck to some friends in his store in the presence of some of his delin quent creditors, and expressed his hope of organizing one. lie said one of those creditors wait ed for the crowd to get out when he came foward to bal ance his account for fear of be ing on the black list. One the merchants of Wil liamson tells us that when tbe organization was attempted here and the blue pamphlets distributed he saved three and mailed them to some pet credi tors. He said tiro of them came foward promptly and paid ac counts that he would have giv en away. The third man wrote a note saying he would pay as soon as he could raise the money. This same merchant said he had lost no less than ss.oo> in this way since he ltad been a merchant. Another said he had 91 ,000 on his books and couldn't hope to collect more than half of it. It is this class of customers that trouble vou and it is thib class the Krtailers Protective Association will make honest.

The Handsome Thing The handsomest thing you can do jnst now is to hatid-sone subscript ion money to the newspaper men in your section.

To the Merchants Dout you think it business policy to tell the public where to buy the eods it needs? the Enterprise will carry your messages during 1905 for very reasonable prices, the cost of advertising is exceedingly small compared with the result. If you don't advertise yonrbusi ness you should do it. Of course, if you dout want to do any morehusi rtess than you are doing you better quit advertising altogether; take in vour sign, don't put any goods on the street .or resort to any method to ittract attention to your place of business, and let the little fellow who is anxious to do more business get it. Its uo more than fair, you know, if you have all you want, to let the other fellow get some of the trade. Those that want business adver tise for it and work for it. It is ■atural that those who do not want tusiness do not advertise. Reflections of a Batchelor Woman don't like to draw the lines in their looking-glass.

Clement Give Some Interesting Facts to the Farmers Haven and Clement, New York Bankers and Broken issue weekly market reviews, and the following si taken from their last weeks re view : "At present there is no special feature to the cotton market. It is a comparatively narrow affair, both sides, the bull and bear, awaiting some development. The/next Gin nere' report, which, no doubt, will be made public about the 26th, * is expected to practically settle the suspense where there is any doubt of the already large figures being increased, and after that a more active and favorable market for trading we hope will be realized.. Our private advice, both by let ter and telegram,from every section indicate the greatest determination on the part of the spot holders to carry their cotton over and to re (luce the acreage anywhere from 25 per cent, to 40 per cent. This is encouraging and if it is kept up, results will be seen inthe near future but we confidently believe there will be another bear effort before there is a material rally. Of course, the spinners over the world know that the crop of American cotton in the United States last year was the largest on record. They also know that the latest information points to a crop of possibly 13.000,ooobales which means a surplus of at least 2,000,000 more American cotton than the world can consume; and this in the face of a new crop is construed by many to mean a weak and cheap market for some time to I come. Therefore, the holders must make up their minds that it is a slow fight, but wfc believe they will he fully repaid in the long run, though a decline of possibly $3 to $4 per bale may precede the advan ce. Much talk has been indulged in by the Press as to the southern farmers burning their [cotton or part thereof; this betokens a state of desperation and helplessness that can hardly be realized, and wedout think there will be much put to the torch We would suggest a better quicker and surer remedy than this. If the planters will, collectively or separately, eome into the New York market and buy on this decline free ly of May cotton, sav to the extent 500,000 bales, hold the contracts and demand the cotton, they wil find prices will sour higher than they ever dreamed. There is only about 83,000 bales of certified cot ton in New York, and to demand the delivery of 500,000 bales in May would mean a great advance.There is much talk of a bull market by the outside trade, but there is no evidence of such a move and those who are talking bullish arc not buyers. For that reason we feel that the price has not been depressed to that point where it satisfies* the bear sentiment and justifies the bull to enter the market. The curtail ment of acreage for this year's planting must be very'great to have any influence 011 the market, and there should be undoubted ev idence of this curtailment as early in the season as possible '' Increased Demand for Sun Cured Tobacco From what can be learned the crop of Sun Cured Tobacco is much larger than last year, and ' prices are already higher than this time last year, says the Richnond News- Leader. i A feature of the sun cured market is the marked increase in the crop for the last few years, and those familiar with conditions attribute this increased demand for this par ticular class of leaf to "REY NOLDS' SUN CURED" a brand introduced three years ago by R. J, Reynolds Tobacco Company. It is authoritatively stated that the re quirements of this one concern is more than the entire crop a few years ago. The success of "REY NOLDS' SUN CURED" and the large trade buUt up by R. J. Rey nolds Tobacco Company, led by the establishment of its Richmood.Va. Leaf Department, which is under the personal management of ex perts in the selection of son cured leaf. \ —I have opened up a first class Meat Market at the stand formely occupied by A. J.
