Well, Jackson deserves a post office building. “Ticks, tigers and taxes” —one of the live topics of discussion. Mexico is in a fair way to get what Mexico has long needed, “Peace, preparedness and pros perity” and Wilson—sounds all right. Mr. Dorsey is for biennial ses sions of the legislature. That helps some. When Wilson is elected this fall the Democrats will have Ted dy to thank for it. It’s boosting your community needs. There are always enough knockers on the job. A get-together-stick-together pull-together spirit is one of Jack son’s greatest present needs. Hughes of whisker fame does not patronize the barbers, but watch the voters shave him this fall. The daily papers are advancing the price of subscription. It had to come. Newspapers have been sold too cheap. The state tax rate will be put up to five mills this year. Even at that the state will come out in the hole, it is said. Teddy for president and wil liamjavbryan for vice would prob ably satisfy the ambitions of those chronic office seekers. All of the candidates for gov ernor are running a fast race and positively will not withdraw, ac cording to the latest bulletin. The Greensboro Herald-Journal has just issued a Booster Edition of 24 pages. The paper was a most creditable one in every way. The Telegraph says Bibb coun ty needs a now court house. Ought to doll up by the time the capital is ready to be placed on Coleman Hill. The state sanitarium is over crowded. What would it be if all of them were there that ought to be? Probably have to hang out the S. R. 0. sign. If people would think with their heads instead of their stomachs and stop following unsafe and fa natical leaders they would be better off. DOES ADVERTISING PAY? Atlanta, Ga.—Does advertising pay? Always, and sometimes it makes a fortune for the man who foots the hid. An Atlanta soft drink concern, with its modest capitalization of $50,000, in creased its assets by $1,370,000 in its last statement, and is now worth $6,572,647. It has $3,283,000 in resl estate, and a $2,924,898 surplus, all built on advertising. An automobile corporation re ports increased sales of over $13,000,000 last year—due to increased advertising. A cereal company reports a gain in gross earnings of $1,356,- 972. or 67 per cent increase in two years. Advertising did it. On the other hand, a biscuit company, which reduced its ad vertising appropriation for last year shows profits shrunk from $731,172 to $422,371. These figures will prove interesting, both to advertisers and non-advertisers. When a business man stops advertising it won’t be long until his business will be “advertised for sale.” WILLING FOR ALL EXCEPT NEWSPAPERS TO HAVE A PROFIT (From The Rock Hill (3. C.) Herald.) The Concord (N. C.) Tribune figures that the increase in the cost of newspaper will add SI,OOO a year to its expense account. When SI,OOO annually is added to the expense aocount of the aver age successful country town daily newspaper the only thing left is a deficit. However, increase of the cost of paper is not the only thing the newspapers must face. Everything the newspapers buy has advanced, and if The Concord Tribune’s expense account does not increase $2,000 we will be surprised. Only one course is left open for the newspapers and that is to put circulation in a cash in advance basis and increase the subscription price and advance ad vertising rates. Then if the public declines to give the newspapers a square deal, the newspapers should go out of business. People do not quit buying groceries or clothing when prices ad vance. When retailers are forced to pay higher prices for com modities, they are forced to sell for higher prices. Some people kick about the steadily increasing cost of the necessities, and even the luxuries, of life; but they go right on buying and paying the prices demanded. Let a newspaper advance its subscription price or advertising rates, however, and listen at the howl that is raised. The average man spends his money carelessly for everything ex cept newspapers and advertising, it is spent grudgingly, and it is an expenditure regarded by some business men as a contribution to charity. The time has come when the public will have to revise its views of the newspapers and begin to do business with them on a different basis; otherwise, within the next year or two the number of newspapers in the country will be considerably decreased. If Macon gets the capital she is going to have -to turn loose some of her hard earned cash. Anew building will cost several million dollars, at the least. Each of the four candidates for governor has given out his plat form, has delivered himself on the “vital issues of the day” and the state can now breathe easier. Since the prohibition law went into effect there has been a nota ble decrease in crime and many counties are complaining about a scarcity of convicts. Prohibition does prohibit. If the question is ever left to a vote of the people, Macon in all human certainty, will secure the capital. The big fight will be in the legislature against the At lanta politicians. A Kansas printer has notified the merchants of his town that he will soon be in need of a pair of shoes, anew shirt, and a sack of flour, and that he will call for bids on these items, as that is the custom of the merchants when they want four dollars’ worth of printing. Exchange. McDuffie Progress: The gov ernment and counties interested in eradicating the cattle tick have POWDER Absolutely Pure No Alum —No Phosphate WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form. Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good. To correct catarrh you should treat it 9 cause by enriching your blood with the oil-food in Scott’s Emulsion which is a medicinal food and a building-tonic, free from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it. Scott & Bowne, Bloomfield. N. J. had an enormous amount of pre judice to deal with. The position comes from those who have no cattle, and themselves, but seems to come from other sources than those directly interested. Cattle men are highly in favor of “dip ping,” as it insures a better grade of cattle and better prices. Some of the strongest opposition comes from those who have no cattle, and have no intention of owning any. v- WORTHVILLE Mr. Cleveland Aiken spent the week-end in Towaliga.
