ISo He Does Not Advertise!!
I Usually such a man believes in being his own I
R janitor, errand boy, clerk and general manager. He I
I lives in terror of a payroll, and the expense of ex- I
I pansion improvements fairly pulls him. I
I A man of that type is just as big today as he I
R will be twenty years from now, if providence ■
R grants him life and unlimited prosperity. He is ■
R carrying a portion of the same stock he had five ■
| or ten years ago, and unless he happens to have a I
■ call for those articles he will hold them on his ■
R shelves indefinitely. He will tell you ina confiden- S
■ tial way that it might be alright for merchants in H
j| other lines to advertise and to make special offer- R

i The man with a wide calibre sees that such ex- ■
I penses as are incidental to an increased volume of I

R can make. He is willing to pay clerks good wages; I
I to double his stock if necessary, and to pay out I
I money to maintain an attractive looking store if. at I
1 the end of the month, he is able to show a net profit I
I above the net protit of the One-Man-Store. He is 1
I the type that sees a relationship between his busi- 9

1 reasons that selling methods successfully used by R
I his fellow merchants, even though the latter be in I
I a totally different line, may be used with profit to 9

Gov. Brown is Making the
Experiment
(Savannah News.)
An experiment which Gov. Brown
is conducting on his Cherokee county
farm may result in a largely increas
ed yield of cotton per acre. Like
many of the best things for the pro
motion of agriculture it was suggest
ed by a natural demonstration.. \
Macon county farmer had his cotton
stripped of foliage and the plants
beaten into the ground by a hailstorm
Unlike his neighbors he did not plow
the cotton up and plant again, and
was surprised that the yield from his
field was doubled. The theory is that
the amount of plant food going into
the foliage is devoted to the lint when
the foliage is lessened.
Gov. Brown is having some of the
leaves sheared from a portion of his
cotton and will carefully note the re
! suit. The theory is practically the
same as “topping” the cotton plant
and "suckering” corn. The probability
is that the yield will be increased ! f
the shearing is done judiciously, the
problem being to let sufficient leaves
remain to supply the necessary oxy
gen to the plant. That a hailstorm
often increases the yield instead of
injuring a cotton crop, was demon
strated in South Georgia fields last
year. Many which were thought ruin
ed produced abundantly.

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly tailing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts
directly on the blood and raucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

Trouble in Chicago May Come
From That Source
Chicago, June 14. —If a bolt of the
Republican National Convention comes
from no other quarter, it may be
lurnished by the women suffragists.
Mrs. Catherin Waugh McCulloch de
clared last night that unless a plank
favoring equal suffrage is included in
the national platform the guns of the
woman party will be trained on the
Republicans.
The threat, according to the women,
should cause serious consideration on
the part of the delegates, as their re
fusal might mean the cost of five or
six states which have equal suffrage.
Miss Jane Addams has been select
ed to argue for the plank before the
platform committee. If it is refused
the suffragists will work for their
cause on the floor of the convention
chiefly through Mrs. Isabella W. Bla
ney, delegate-at-large from California
