C., Journal, ami expresses truth fully a fact well known to thinking people. The knowledge that the patrons of a paper are responsible in a large measure for its quality ought to cause them to help make the most out of such paper. The Journal says: It is a very mistaken idea in most communities, that the local newspaper, in its representation of the community, is apart from the community.- That is, that the local newspaper will show enterprise, have expensive news matter, be filled with laudation ot the civic pride which animates the com munity, keep enlarging in size and j material make up, and issue daily | or weekly, in an ediiion that the citizens think would be correct. | That all these will be shown by the local newspaper, regardless of then ; support and the encouragement it rec lives from the people. The local newspaper is what the people make it. If the people give it support, show an interest in its success by a liberal subscription that is paid up; if there is nu ap preciation shown in the paper's progress, and a local sprit dbplayed to assist in giving the liewfrjupei support, these will reflect rti the newspaper's columns showing the civic pride and municipal develop ment and growth of the people. If there is a citizen with n com plaint against the local newspaper, the cause is to find. The remedy is at the hand of ever) citizen,namely: support and en couragement. If the local news paper is not up to the ambition of the community, the fault lies with the people. They lack the spirit to move forward, to make their repre sentative, the local paper, reflect their ambition aud hopes, instead of appeariug for their true condi tion, indifference and lack of civic pride. In this connection, of what is the relation between the people of a city and its newspaper, the Petersburg, Va. Index Appeal says "More than is generally noted by even thoughtful observers, and far more than any other institution in the city, is the newspaper a rep resejitative of the community in which-it is published and the ac cepted criterion by which.,that com munity is rated favorable by Btrangers.-"-Whatevt;r other infor mation a at ranger may seek ron ceruing a city where lie proposes to make his home, to invest his money for profit, he is sure to include the local paper among the subjects ol investigation, aud often the char acter of the community for business enterprise and progress, as reflected in that paper, controls the judg ment amf determines the action of tne investigator. As the result of nearly a life-time of close and care ful observation, we know this to be true." A newspaper proprietor, no more than the local merchant can take ■ H can easily be rateadwlUi incu lar. evon at ands. and i' ■of the Tary beat crude, for wbteh the . ■ alyfcaat prices ran be ratten at your b . ■ warehouM-, or from tobaoco bu r»r» if .

Large tiewspipeiseome because there is the local support in dollars and in works, and as the financial and noral support grows and increases, ,o will it be found that the local newspaper will march at the head of the local procession, and be tound a worthy leader and repre sentative in promoting and bringing lo a success local growth in every line of trade and in every industrial enterprise in the community, as. >vell as stimulating the civic ener gies to even greater efforts of local development. There aie too many rcen who ex | iK-ct an editor to slave in defense | >f their pet notions and hobbies, idvocate their views against the strongest opposition and then cool I y withhold the business support >y which alone a small newspapet can live. i The lideuton Transcript has cn- I tered its fifth year. We congratulate j Editor Swaringeii upon his good lectjid, and upon the good paper he I s giving the |>eop]e of lidenton. I We wish him much success. There is no better way of build ing up our town than giving to our home business men our entire and exclusive patronage. The mote | we help each other the more we help the town, The N. Y. Tribune is inclined to j sneer at the South for sending such | men as Jeff Davis of Ark. to the Senate. And that is rather cruel, j too, when you remember New j York's superb senatorial outfit. Senator Foraker is still attempt i ing to prove that the White people jof Brownsville shot up their own j town, and killed and wounded their own citizens just to spite the Negroes. The California legislature pro | poses to tuke the Japanese bull by the horns by excluding the Japs from the white schools. That's States' Rights for you. ToleiTo, Ohio, is also vigorouly j objecting to the appointment of a j negro collector. After all, South | Carolina did not make so much j i fuss about it as Ohio is doing. The Fifty-Ninth Congress seems| j determined not to leave much of a ! surplus in the Treasury for the j democratic party to "view with I alarm." ,| ' " Del mas is referred to by a cor-; i respondent as a finished lawyer but what is Ixithering Attorney Jerome is whether 1 talmas will lie liisj i finish. Keep your eye on Hughes of N.! Y. A good governor is apt to make a good President, aud exec utive ability is a-rare thing. A newspaper headline says the ; Douma is to be Democratic. We I suppose it will pass a tariff bill aud j then it will lie Republican. Senator Win. Alden Smith began life by selling papers, but that is n great deal better than ending it as ; a peanut politician. Ohio draws the color liue when '>t comes to a negro's lioldiug an ; office that a white man wants. | The embrace of Senator Smoot I leaves black marks on the back of ' the Republican party.

The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps J Quality Only On the Outside Of the Plug Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that look like Schnapps to bacco. The outside of the imitation plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same as Schnapps, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco. One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such to bacco. The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in vio lation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided.

Be sure the letters on the tag, and stamped on the plug under the tag spell SC-H-N-A-P-P-S and then you have it—the most wholesome tobacco produced, with just enough sweetening to preserve the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, re quires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying eflect on chewers. If the tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy you more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers formerly bought costing from 75c. to SI.OO per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound, in sc. cuts, strictly 10c. and 15c plugs.
