Wilnnngton.—"During iuv :.e*m
years as United Stales deputy mar
shal, 1 have never drawn my gun on
any man, violating the prohibition
or any other law.”
This statement was t ho answer
of Marshal I. D. Harrelson to an in
quiry concerning the activity of fed
eral authorities 1ft halting nrd en
gaging in gun battles with nrivat"
tars, only believed to be dairyingj
liquor.
Marshal Harrelson, who is a for
mer Brunswick county commission
ed, also declared he had never been
a member of a raiding party that re
suited in the death of a single per
son. either officer or violator.
MI will not work with a man who
Is too handy with a gun," he fur
ther stated.
The fact that the federal govern
ment is schooling its prohibition of
ficers, at least twice a year, in the
enforcement of their duties also was
pointed out by the marshal Ftress.
he said, is being laid on tvha* the
officers can’t do in enforclng the law
rather than what they may do in
dealing with the public The fact
that, the rights of private citizens
must be regarded and protected is
being taught every officer, he said.
Although the greater part of Mar
shal Harrelson's duties do not. deal
with running down run-makers, he
ha* taken part in the majority ot
ihe raids conducted in the Wil
mington district.. He is considered
well informed in the activities of
the bootleggers of the several coun
ties of the section.
Marshal Harrelson assumed office
in 1924, completing the term of Sam
Lilly, shot from ambush. He re
ceived his ftyst regular appointment
from Marshal R. W. Ward and was
also named by Marshal E. O Ged
dte when he assumed office.
During a recent visit to Wilming
ton, Marshal Oeddie referred to
Marshall Harrelson as one of the
most competent officers in uie east

Without Fixed Price
Farmer Says Buyer* Should Lay Off
Buying Until Price Is
Fixed.
To the Editor of The Star:
T understand that the guano com
panies are insisting upon, loading up
die dealer with guano and in turn
the dealers are to dump their guano
upon the lavmers without any fix
ed price; the price to be fixed later.
I would advise all to play hands
off until the price is fixed. If they
can dump their guano upon us in
this way. they can then fix the price
10 suit themselves—and if the price
is not considerable lower than last
year’s price, I think we. had better
go on a strike and let them keep
their guano.
We might as well go fishing as to
buy high priced guano to make 8
cent cotton. We would at least save
a lot of hard work by the fishing
program. A lot of us would have had
more clear money at the end of last
year if we had fished and left off
the cotton crop.
' The guano meu have their prices
based upon 20 cent cotton and unless
they come off considerably I thillk
we had better let them keep it un
til the price of cotton again readies
18 or 20 cents.

It Pay* To Advertise

Advertising Move
* By Cotton Mills
j Concord Tribune.
A constructive advertising sir.-i
paign is one of the real needs oi title j
textile industry. For years our cot-,
| ton mills have been operating v. 1th
ont apparent need of putting their
product before the public in organ
ized fashion, but conditions have
changed within the past decades es
pecially, and if our cotton manufac
tures are to keep step with o her in
dustries they must keep their name
and product constantly below the
public.
The Gastonia Gazette tells us tin*
"the Cannot Mills company is about
the only textile concern wnieh has
been doing much advertising.” As
compared to the other textile spe
ctaltlss, it is doing a large volume of
comparison with other big national
advertisers.”
Why can't newspaper-adventure
do for cotton mills what it has done
for tobacco products, for instance?
George W. Hill, President of the
American Tobacco company, frank
ly gives credit to newspaper adver
tising for much of the success of his
company. The R. J. Reynolds To
bacco company recently put or> a
newspaper campaign which brought
in over a million letters from ov
ary part of the nation. Cigarette con
sumption wasn't affected by the de
pression and one reason s. ~ doubt
waj ther continuous advertising cam
paigns the manufacturers or.duet

ston-Salem Journal says:
"Over a million replies have b?w»
-waived by the R. J. Reynold* i'r
bacco company in response ,> l‘i
contest advertisement whlcn aop’fi
ed In newspapers throughout the
country.
‘‘The Reynolds company received
these letters from persons who had
not only read the ad., but who each
took from a few minutes to evtral
hours to compose a letter to the
company. The Reynolds company
will give $50,000 in prises or the
best letters. That will be ess than
five cents for each letter,
“The Reynolds company, hrough,
this advertising campaign, cached
millions of readers at a cod o‘ a
fraction of a cent apiece amt receiv
ed over a million letters at a cost of
.less than five cents each. Perhaps
"never before in the history of ad
vertising has the effectiveness und
value of newspaper advertising been
better demonstrated than n this
case.”
The Wall Street Journal gives this
information:
■“R, J. Reynolds Tobacco c anpanv
is spending $1,000,000 in seven days
to introduce, through a $50,000 con
test, the new molstme-proo. Cello

“Except for a brief announcement

"The initial announcement of the
contest consisted of full page ad
vertisement in 1.713 daily newspa
pers. 412 college periodicals and
many financial newspapers. In addi
tion, large space advertisements
were used in 2.189 county scat week

The right sort .of■.advertising will j
