The Chailotte Observer exolalns that within a week it turned down ' with scorn over two hundred dollars' worth of advertising from various out of town merchants who wanted to K'.-t mail orders for tho Christmas tmdo. ISy out of town merchants It means out of town State morchants and brings us back to the old propo sition "Trade at Home." Possibly Tho Observer carried a clearer conscience by not Inserting In its columns an invitation to people to send their money away from home --but we fear It did no good and lost the two hundred likely plunks. For years in thie white man's town we carried on a trade at home cam paign. We wrote and we sent papers to j everywhere thousands of them be In j ing paid for by merchants' associa- Tho Allied textile workers of Maine, claiming to represent 50,000 cotton mill aperatlves in Maine, voted demand a 10 per cent Increase wages to become effective about the ( tions and other organizations.

Schedule Changes by 8outhern A number of changes in the sche dules will be made In order to lra lrove travel connltlons on the main lines of the Southern. These changes will take effect probably Dec. 10th, 1916, and effect the regular trains as lollowa: Train No. 36 which leaves Atlanta at midnight will stop only at the rrlnripal point and will arrive In Tipfdsville about 1:30, instead of p. m., and arriving at Washing ton at 10:30, Instead of 11:30 p. m.

The exact dates when these double sections for Chrlstmss travel are t be operated will be announced later. Miss Margaret Berry of Cii-rlr! has achieved the unique distinction of being the first woman lawyr to file a brief before the North Caro lina Supreme Court and have that tribunal reverse the verdict of the lower court. This was done In the rase of the Citizens Baank vs, Ware house Company from Gaston, wh'ch has Just been reported. Miss. B wry Is a graduate of the Unlvers ty f North Carolina and a most capable and energetic young woman. Attorney General and Governor elect Thos. W. BIckett will ask tne Legislature to postpone his inaugura tion as Governor until January 11th. The Inauguration customarily takes place on the second Wednesday in January. Mr. Bickett will appear before the United States Supreme Court In Washington January 8 when attorneys representing the republic of Cuba will seek to obtain permis sion for Cuba to enter suit against the State of North Carolina for the collection of $2,000,000 of repudiated carpet-bag bonds. Because of thtu fact Mr. BIckett will ask a postpone ment of the Inauguration. a most vigorous campaign against the catalogue habit. But it did no good. When we ascertained (nat even members of the trade at home organization had sent out of the State even for an automo bilewe saw the folly of our way. It appears that tho Almighty Dollar Is the lodestone and that if a bargain is offered elsewhere Elsewhere gets tho coin. One enthusiastic man who had read our stuff telling why we should all be loyal and trade at home wrote us a letter to iell us we were on the right track. He is a citizen of means and altogether enterprising. But two weeks later he sent to Kalama zoo for a cook stove and said he sav ed seven dollars. The only way to keep the trade at home and that means In the South is for people to patronize the South ern concerns, and before we can pat ronize them we must have them. Why couldn't the South why couldn t North Carolina, have a big mail order house and use the slogan The South to the South and the South for the South"? In other vords there Is a certain per centage of people who are going away from the home town to trade and why not go after them? And yet what's the use? We talk and tell what we will do and never do It. It was only a few weeks ago that a Richmond man showed us that he could sell type and supplies as cheap as any concern In the world, that in deed he was agent for the big foun derswe tak our choice and we could save freight and we could keep the money in the South to a certain extent. And we confessed that it was even so and then, to our shame we ordered a big lot of stuff from a Northern concern and never said "boo" to the home man. We pass It up. Theoretically the trade at home slogan Is all right but we notice that most of us, even those tt us who tell others what they ought to do forget our preachments. For instance there Is a half tone establishment in this State charging perhaps a few cents more on a single cut but most all, if not all, the newspapers preaching the theory of trading at home rush their orders to the North, Search us.-Everything. Baseballs to Cost Mors. RuebaHs will cost from ten to fifty t '.- rPnf more next season, depending upon the market price of the ma lrials, local sporting goods dealers rnnounce. It was also announced I - - roif will be advanced from - to ftffv per cent next season, f ......... nnter!ls entering into the ir .; 0f baseballs and golf rtctf hire Increased from 60 to 400 r ce-f w'thin the year. " w Id that the baseball used ' " b'e leagues which has been r or $1.25 probabily will bring S! .50. ' The Supreme Court delivered opin ions last week In 25 appeals, one of the moaT notable being that of Wad Utll vs. Masten, from Forsyth, in volving action against Masten for the recovery of atwut $8,000 county funds alleged to have been misappropria ted. Waddllt sued for the county under special act and Masten entered general denial and 'allegation that Waaddill has no proper authority to sue. The court below held that while the shortage was evident Waddlll could maintain the action. Judge Hoke, writing the opinion for the Supreme Court, held that Waddlll is fully authorized to maintain the suit and directs that the case gainst Mas ten proceed. Potato Raising in North Carolina. The natural advantages of Eastern North Carolina as an Irish potato section are set forth In literature Just Issued by the agricultural department of the Norfolk Southern Railway. Da ta haa been carefully aecured regard ing the soil, crop production, prices, climate and railroad facilities, in comparison with other potato grow ing sections in the United States, with the result that North Carolina's adaptability to this profitable crop Is amply demonstrated. Lands adapted to potato growing can be purchased for $10 to $35 per acre. The North Carolina lands, furthermore, are not only adapted to Irish potatoes, hut to other truck and farm crops, ai well as stock raising, are assured to the farmer who usee , gsstioa. up-to-date methods of farming. Manufacturers ccrd Poetic and Dramatic Recital at the Colored M. E. Church. Our colored friends have secured Prof. J. E. McGirt of Philadelphia, Pa., for next Thursday night, Decem ber 7th, for an evening of readings and Impersonations in the M. E. church. Prof. McGirt comes with the strong recommendations of such critics as Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Mr. Tho mas Nelson Page, Mr. Elbert Hub bard, and numerous others of fame in the literary world, and with tho open acknowledgement of being the greatest known of negro poets living. The occasion will be used, by the charge of a small admission of ten cents to the colored folks, for the pur pose of aaccumulatlng a sum to pro vide Christmas gifts for the poor col ored children. No charge for admis sion will be made to the white friends of the colored race, though any gifts of money donated for the purpose Indicated will be gratefully received. Those who have not heard this gifted negro may look forward con fidently to an evening of pleasure, und it is hoped that a large attend ance may be secured to her him.

"When you consider that we have no coin between the one cent piece and the five cent piece and that many an article worth more than a cent iind less than five cents sells for the latter price because of the lack of an intermediate monetary unit of val ue," says the director, "the economic importance of it will be readily seen. Articles which now sell for fifteen cents each or two for a quarter would sell for 12 1-2 cents. Popular shops, such as the five and ten cent stores, would undoubtedly place ar ticles now selling two for five cents, on sale at two and one-half cents." Danger Signal If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop It or go and help to put out the fire? It Is much the same way with a cough. A cough Is a dan ger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress It than to stop a fire bell when it Is ringing, but should cure the disease that caus es the coughing. This can nearly al ways be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It Is especially valuable for the persis tent cough that so often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Iseoching, Andrews, Indiana, writes: "During the winter my hus band takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is the best medicine for breaking np these attacks and you can not get him to take other."
