FACE TWO. THE GASTOXIA GAZETTE. GASTOXIA IS A BUST TOWX. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1913. IThe Gastonia Gazette. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1913. Gastonians and Gaston countlans will have an opportunity next Sat urday to hear for the first time Mr. Clarence Poe, one of the State's first citizens and a man who has done more than any other one man to ad vance the agricultural interests of the Old North State. The Gazette bespeaks for Mr. Poe a large audi ence on the occasion of his first vis It to Gaston. It will par any man In the county, be he farmer or what not. to snatch an hour or two rrom his labor to listen to Mr. Poe. The Gazette today, for the second time within a few weeks, gives Its readers twelve pages instead of the usual eight. This is done in order to carry extra advertising and at the same time give our readers the amount of live reading matter to which they are entitled. The pub lishers of this paer are making a strenuous and honest effort to give Its subscribers full value received for their money and the many kind expressions which tome to us from widely separated quarters lead us to believe that we are not laboring in vain. While The Gazette carries more paid advertising than all the other paiers in the county column ed it also gives its readers more live news matter than all the other pa pers in the county combined. A constantly increasing subscription list furnishes substantial evidence that our efforts to produce an up-to-date county paixr are appreciated. WOMEN ORGANIZE.

Silence is Becoming Noticeable. Greensboro News. "Anent the legislators who have transportation on the railroads." re narks the Statesville LanamarK, "the Greensboro News Is 'brash' enough to ask this impertinent question: " "What Is the attitude of states men who are conveyors of cashless transportation (we strive to avoid jarring terms) toward the collec tion of mileage from the state?' "It is the Landmark's opinion that some of them at least will collect mileage from the state 10 cents per mile at that on the ground that the pass is a part of their wage from the railroad companies, ac cepted In lieu of so much cash. Oth ers, more conscientious or to avoid possible embarassment, will not col lect mileage." It is a question in ethics, and we do not see what objection there could be to answering It. But np to the present writing there has been an utter silence as to this query on the part of the gentlemen addressed. ,bwes ndas celt uaal? n In oetl farr If yon ret a sample copy of The Gazette It Is aa Invitation to sub crfbe.

Former Populist Candidate for Pres ident to Be Trie-d Nest Week for Sending Obscene Literature Through Mails Catholics Prose cuting Him. An Associated Press dispatch from Augusta, Ga., under date of October 1 2th says: Thomas E. Watson, editor and au thor, nominee of the Populist party for the presidency of the I'nited States in 190 4. will be tried in tne I'nited States District Court here during the week beginning OctoDer 20 on a charge of sending obscene matter through the mails. The charges against Watson re sulted from the publication of arti cles in two of his magazines de nouncing the Roman Catholic Church. In one of these articles lie referred to the Church beliefs as "the most profligate of pagan relig ion." The articles were published in Watson's Jeftersonian of the Juiy mil issue and in Watson's Maga zine of the issues of April and May, 1!12. Their caption was "The Ro man Catholic Hierarchy;" "The Deadliest Menace to Our Liberties and Our Civilization." The editor was indicted by tne Federal grand jury here November lit, 1!12. In the indictment the al leged objectionable words in the ar ticles were omitted because tiiey were so "obscene as to be offensive to the court if set forth and improp er to be spread upon the records of the court." Watson appeared as his own coun sel at the preliminary hearing. In defense of the article he claimed that they could be no more objec tionable than certain passages or the Bible. If he were guilty of the charge, he claimed, it would be a vi olation of the Federal laws to send a Bible through the I'nited States mails. Counsel for the Government and the defense have agreed to begin tne proceedings immediately after tne opening of the Federal Court term October 20. This agreement, it is understood, has been approved oy Judge Rufus E. Foster of the East ern District of Louisiana, who will hear the case. Judge Foster was designated to preside at the trial In the place of Judge Emory Speer, tne latter having expressed a disinclina tion to serve while impeachment pro ceedings are pending against him. $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure In all Its stages, and that Is Catarrh. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraterni ty. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken internally, acting directly up on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giv ing the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na ture In doing its work.

Hemphill, the iamous editorial writer: "Men are not made good by legis lation. Conscience cannot be puri fied and established by statutory en actment. Tne State cannot take the place of the family. The old-fashioned American home was the in spration of the great system of gov ernment which has come down to this generation a little frayed at the edges because of the departure that have been made In the living and thinking and praying of the people." This Is a truthful statement and is well worth considering bv thar class of people who think individual goodness and sobriety can be brought to pass by the "Be It Enacted" route. As the Knoxvilln Journal and Tribune well says: "The State may aid the family; but it cannot take its place and perform tbe functions of the family. The boy or young man who is not Influenced for good by the good example or those whom he loves, will be hard to restrain from doing wrong by statute. Ever since the occupation of the Garden by our first parents, there has been that in man whicti resents an order not to do this or that. It is a principle in the human heart that is hard to eradicate. It cannot be done by an arbitrary command coming In the shape or a statute or otherwise. Read the advertisements n The Gazette.

Advertising Taiks JU- REACHING THE RURAL COMMUNITY Retailer Must Help Increase Buy ing Capacity to Enlarge His Business. A town don't stop at the city limits either in the civic or trade relations The outlying community plays an ini- nortant Dart in the circulation of money in the town center. Retailers in the small towns have In the past particularly lacked in getting the trade in the outlying districts. A great corporation of implement manufac turers have taken up a work in the Interest of their dealers and it has proven successful to a degree far be yond their expectation. Their slogan is "Cultivate and Educate." They are teaching the farmer how to select bet ter seed, how to better cultivate his field and the most profitable crops which he can grow for his immedi ate market. Thev have sent corn ex perts such as Professor llolden into the backward states. They have run, aided by the state, special agricultural trains in charge of a staff of lecturers on agricultural subjects. The effect of these lectures has been felt in the. interurban and rural districts. Tho productiveness of the farms has in creased. The quality of the crops has been bettered. There has been less waste and more money to spend There is a saying that the more money a man makes the more he will spend. It is as equally true of the farmer as of any one else. The retailers In all lines are bound to feel the results of any education given the farmer In his agricultural pursuits. Therefore. It Is up to the retailer to Join In with the movement and to become a part of It There need be nothing philanthropic about it any more than there Is any thing philanthropic about an Invest ment. It Is easy to win farmers over provided they have the money to spend. That's why it Is up to every retailer to help Increase the farmer's buying capacity. This is the age of service. The percentage of business which comes to a man unsolicited is growing less and less every year. The retailer must rush out from the narrow con fines of his small surrounding com munity into the greater fields which lay beyond It The question arises In the mind of the retailer, "how may r reach the population if I deem it profitable? I cannot afford to spend any great amount of money for their education along agricultural lines." The expense must not fall upon any one Individual, but it must enlist the whole heart and enthusiasm of mer chants who are public spirited enough to help, for they have no chance to lose a"nd every chance to gain. It must be a spirit such as has been dis played In the booming towns of Al berta and Saskatchewan where each one works for his neighbor, and find their profits swollen by It in the year's reckoning. The movement for self sustaining communities is on the in crease. Now that a new plan Is flour ishing, with Its present growth it should. In the future, offer a fruitful Increase per capita wealth. We are not preachers or prophets, yet every thoughtful merchant will sooner or later come to a realization that this movement, now in the Infancy, will some day reach enormous proportions. Why not build now for the future? Why not be a step In advance of the times? The trailer, the man who looks behind, never has traveled the road to success as rapidly as he Inti mated. Then let each of us be one of the leaders instead of one of the trailers, and take time to give this matter the thought which It deserves. HE DIDN'T ADVERTISE. By Robert B. Rogers. A business man In our town Whose name was U. N. Wise, Rfsolved one day to hls extent That no more he'd advertise. Quoth he "I'm sure my wares will Mil For I keep the best supplies, And folks I know will buy of mm 8o why should I advertise?" No more within the dally press Or the monthly magazine, Nor in the street cars day by day Will my business ads be seen." His trade grew dull as time passed oa Finally worry turned him ray. "Oh. why," asked he. "Is business thus, As of old why don't it pay?" His business went from bad to worsa, On the shelf his stock would lay. For no one came to buy his wares, So he closed his shop one day. No more above that store we se The blR sign of I. N. Wise. As he Is oui of business now For he would not advertise. Fourth Estat.
