Trading at home is the best
•way to take care of your own
business.
* * *
Buyers who pay cash rarely
complain of inattention on the
part of the seller.
• * *
We would really like to know
what filling station men think
of people who frequently run
out of gasoline.
* * *
We wonder if the drought
last year has affected the crop
of lies that usually come in
around fishing time.
* * *
There must be something in
tricate to the power business
when one city pays four times
as much as another for the
same service.

Luckily, just about the time
the automobile gts more dead
ly, flying looms ahead of the
race as a safe means of trans
portation.
SUMMER ADVERTISING
Local merchants who intend
to get their share of the fall j
business can take a step for-j
ward by advertising in the
summer.
Too many storekeepers think
that the time to advertise is
when everybody else is doing
so, forgetting that when the
other man lays off the field is
wide open. Then, much of the
value of advertising is to be
found in the good will created,
and this can be done very ef-j
fectively in slack periods when
other stores are content to
keep silent.
The merchants who will do
judicious advertising between
the first of July and the fall
trade will find the groundwork
prepared for bigger results
when the money begins to come
home. Many a sale is made
months before the customer
comes into the store.
WORTH MORE THAN A
TITLE
We don’t know how long the
Hon. James J. Braddock will
remain heavyweight champion
of the United States, and other
iiaxiuiis, uu i ne nas sunietiling
of a record worth noting.
About a year ago he was on
relief, receiving altogeth
er some $367 from the govern
ment to take care if himself
and family. What of it? Well,
the night before he won his
title he forced the New Jersey]
relief administrator to take his
note for that amount and since
the fight he has paid it in full
before it became due.
Evidently, he believes in pay
ing his bills even when there
is no law to make him do so.
That is worth more than a box
ing championship.
WATER IN POWER
There are countless illustra
tions of the financial misman
agement and robbery of inves
tors practiced by the financial
pirates who during the past
generation have managed pub
lic utility companies. It might
be worthwhile every once in a
while to point out recent reve-;
lations concerning these things.;
In New York a legislative;
committee heard that the West-;
Chester Lighting Company had;
jumped in valuation from $3,
000,000 in 1900 to $30,000,000
in 1904 and of this huge in
crease $23LOO 0C0. was in t ;e
form of the old familiar water
ed stock. No wonder that the
counsel for the investigating
committee declared that the
management of this company
had been characterized by “the
use of burglar tools,” “cor
porate acrobatics” and “plain
watering of stock.”
ITFT.p FOR THE POOR MAN
Vr> want our readers to thor
oughly understand the nature
fM nurrese of the American
Liberty League, which pro
tends that it has no political |
purpose extent "to defend and!
uphold the Constitution of the.
United States.”
The primary aim of the Am
erican Liberty League is to se
cufe the massed support of
billions of dollars to protect
from any legislative change
the privileges and unjust pow
ers of these wealthy economic
barons. A recent report of the
United Press said that the
League was under the control
of a group who represented in
dustrial and financial organi
zations with assets of more
than $37,000,000,000. It is
pointed out that on the Lea
gue’s executive committee and
advisory council are men con
nected with such corporations
as the United States Steel Cor
poration, General Motors, Stan
aard uu, t,nase iNatiora; rsaiiK,
Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, Westinghouse Elec
tric and many other huge cor
porations. On the Advisory
Council are two DuPonts, John
T. Raskob, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.,
A. A. Sprague, and others.
The average American citi
zen, when he knows the facts
about the American Liberty
League, should have sense en
ough to realize exactly how
much of his welfare this or
ganization has at heart. The
interests of billionaires and or
dinary farmers and working
people are not identical. The
plutocrats want to keep the
privileges and powers which
have brought them wealth and
keeps it for them. The average
American ditizen favors pro
per legislative control to pre
yept a small group of people
reaping the major part of the
benefits which come from the
protection and activity of a
large social unit.
PURELY
ERSONAL
IFFLE
PPP
DR. BLAND has started the
hunting season somewhat ear
lier than usual. Professing
that he is no expert shot, he
admitted, however, that from
his gun big tales can grow.
Monday morning, he , said, the
cook for the Bland household
unwittingly let two prized fry
ers get loose on the plantation.
Having no desire to see four
succulent drumsticks wander
from his table the doctor took
his son’s 410 guage shotgun
and trailed the chickens. The
doctor, in a mood of magnilo
quence, blustered to the cook
that he could kill both birds
with one shot! Of course she
poofed at him. Lo and behold
two chicken heads bobbed to
gether simultaneously, the good
doctor pulled the trigger, and
two runaway chickens began
their last death-flutter.
A RECENT Conversation
with Drs. Zibefin and Bland
reached or sunk to the level of
jails. Jails in small towns,
they had learned, were consid
ered capable of meting out
| more severe punishments and
ordeals to inmates than were
those of larger places. Their
revelations, are, of course, not
deragatory to their personali
ty or professional standing.
They merely restored to mem
ory an incident involving a
small town’s method in deal
ing with vagrants. It seems
that a young man and his
equally young wife were walk
ing through eastern North
Carolina and stopped on the
edge of a small town. During
the night they raised a rukus,
and the one-legged officer of
the law put them under arrest.
The following day there was a
hearing, and the officiating
magistrate decreed they should
leave the town in forty-five
minutes. Disdain was written
plainly on the young man’s
face as he in a heated retort
gave a brief description of the
town’s size: “I’ll give you
tack forty-three of those min
is tes”. All of which reminds us
of the startled exclamation at
tributed to Henry Brown, Sun
day afternoon assailant, when
he heard that his victim’s leg
was broken in three places a3
a result of one blow from the
'Henry-flung ax: “But Cap’n,
Ah j03 hit ’in a leetlc bit.”
ONE OF THE GOVERN
MENT inspectors owns and
uses a reed-like cigarette hold
er which is fully sixteen inches
• in length. It is said to fur
! nish a smoke equally as cool
'as that from a Turkish water
pipe. One of the inspector’s
cohorts maliciously rumors
that it is used as a combination
walking stick, guage for meas
uring the amount of food on
his plate, and as a corn-shuck
er.
Fitting sign for the mar
quee on the local opera house:
“Before Entering, Please Wash
Your Feet.
PEOPLE’S FORUM
Readers are invited to contribute to
this column. Communications should
be brief and carry the writer’s cor

A Vote of Thanks To The
People of Wallace
(Editors Note: The follow
ing article was received by this
newspaper yesterday in a
plain, sealed envelope bearing
a Wallace postmark, and did
not carry the author’s name or
address. While it is custom
ary to require the correct name
and address of a person writ
ing an article for publication,
we are waiving this require
ment in this instance and are
publishing the article with the
request that the author come
in and make himself known.
While own social activities are
limited and our church-going
hibits are not of the best, we
hardly dare believe that such
a wholesale indictment of the
good people of Wallace is jus
tifiable. 'Therefore, we are
most anxious to meet any per
son who has gained any such
impression of our town as is
indicated below.)
I wish to extend to the peo
ple of Wallace for their kind
ness and thoughtfulness to me
as a stranger since I have been
in Wallace for visiting and in
viting me to join their
churches, Sunday Schools, and
social circles. I came to Wal
lace 14 months ago, a stranger,
for the purpose of serving the
public. Not a person, young or
old, has called on or invited me
to their churches or Sunday
Schools. I have attended all
the churches. The people
treated me as if I was not wel
comed. Do the people of Wal
lace treat all the newcomers
and strangers with the indif
ference they have me? Are
the people of Wallace better
than in other towns? I am sure
they are not. Will some citi
zen be kind enough to answer
my questions.
THEY GET
RICH QUICK
People still live who are
ready to invest their savings
with the man who promises to
make them rich.
_ Last week police in a large
city uncovered th^ activities
of a man who mulcted a num
ber of customers out of thou
sands of dollars. He got them
to invest, paid huge “profits”
for a month or so, persuaded
them to take more stock and
then came the blow-up. The
investments are a total loss.
Time and again this news
paper has warned its readers
not to gamble on any get-rich
quick scheme. When any ag
ent tries to sell you anything
that will make you more than a
legitimate return on your
money that is the time to show
him out and save your cash.
GOLDEN GLEAMS
Give me neither poverty
nor riches; feed me with
food convenient for me.
—Proverbs, 30-8.
There is a mean in all
things; and, moreover, cer
tain limits on either side of
which right can’t be found.
—Horace.
Give me, ye gods, the pro
duce of one field,
That so I neither may be
rich nor poor;
And having just enough, not
covet more.
—Dryden.
To be honest, to be hind;
i to earn a little and to spend
a little; to make upon the
whole a family happier for
his presence; to renounce
when that shtfil be necessary
and not to be embittered; to
keep a few friends, but these
without capitulation; above
all, on the same grim condi
tion, to keep friends with
himself—here is a task for
all that a man has of forti
tude and delicacy.
—R. L. Stevenson.
Achieve Sensational '’Artificial Heart”
NEW YOBK . . . The development of an “artificial heart” and a man
made “blood stream” which enables science to keep vital organs of man
alive and functioning outside the body, is hailed as the most sensational
