The Mail Order House and the Lo
cal Merchant.'
We think the home merchant never
had a more sincere or constant cham
pion than we are. We have always
and continuously advocated patron
age of the local merchant exclusive
ly, because we are quite certain that
the individual life and future of the
community—not only the town and the
people who live in town, but the whole
community—is bound up in the fight of
the home mechant against the mail or
der house.
There are times, however, when we
feel that we are taking a lot more in
terest in the issue than the merchants
themselveB are. Our interests are na
turally bound up with theirs, but after
all it is the merchants themselveB who
have the most at stake, and if they
choose to ignore the inroads of the mail
order houses, why should we worry?
One little word tells the story of the
successful methods of the mail order
houses—advertising. Everlasting and
continuous advertising. The sort of
advertising that takes no count of the
cost so long as the results are satisfac
tory; advertising that is difficult to
prepare and expensive to distribute.
Still, in view of these things, and
with the greatest advertising weapon
in the world at their command, there
are many merchants who will sit back
and say, “advertising don’t do me any
good,” or “it don’t pay in my busi
ness,” or "they’ll come in and buy
from me anyway when they want any
thing I have,” or “the ad. coBtB too
much money—I can’t afford it,” or a
thousand and one other excuses familiar
to the man who solicits advertising for
the local papers.
Don’t pay? Man alive! Listen! If
advertising did not pay every mail or
der house in the United States would
be in the hands of the receivers in six
months. Local merchants have the
means at hand—their local papers—of
covering their trade territory once a
a week with their message to their cus
tomers at one-tenth—yes, one-twentieth
— the proportionate cost to mail order
people. Do thev use that weapon? In
many cases they do not. They prefer
to sit back and say that it don’t pay,
or that they can’t afford it.
Listen again. The local newspapers
are just exactly what the home mer
chants make them—no more, no less.
It is the home merchants that must
support them, and the papers are a
strength and a support to the merchants
in a thousand different ways.
A Fair Warning.
Saturday Evening Post,
“Many a man goes to war with'
out the slightest conception of what it
really is,” said a veteran of Gen. Kobt.
E. Lee’s army. “In 1864 I had com
mand of a detail made up of a dozen or
two recruits that had just come up from
the Gulf States. The first night we
were near the enemy I managed to find
a deserted cabin, and, after placing my
picket out in front, we flung ourselves
down to sleep. In the middle of the
night I changed the picket, selecting
for duty a young fellow who had ex
hibited the most intense longing to ex
terminate the entire Northern army.
“About dawn I was awakened by the
well-known ‘ping, ping!’ of bullets
against the logs of the cabin and the
expostulating voice of my picket. Go
ing to the door I saw that a small
scouting party of Federal soldiers had
discovered signs of Confederates in the
cabin and were trying to drive us out
by firing from the opposite hill. I
turned to my picket and gave a gaBp of
astonishment. The young man stood in
the midBt of the clearing while the bul
lets whistled around him. There was
no sign of fear about him, but he was
tremenduously excited. He had dropped
his musket and was waving his arms,
trying to attract the attention of the
enemy, and shouting at the top of his
voice in tones of remonstrance:
“ ‘Sa-a-y, you fellows over yander!
Don’t you-all be a-shootin’ in here;
thar’s folks in here!’ ’’

lumbago, soreness, stiffness. Foley’s

Guinea Fowls Destroy Boll Wee
vils.
Birmingham, Ala., June 17.—With
the advent of the boll weevil in Ala
bama, seriously threatening to reduce
the cotton crop 25 per cent, or more,
with the loss of over $25,000, J. R.
Holland, a planter near Dothan, hit
upon a remedy that promises to prevent
heavy damages from the pest.
Some time ago he discovered boll
weevilB spreading rapidly on hiB farm
and creating havoc with his crop. He
experimented with a large flock of gui
nea fowl, which he turned loose on his
cotton field. He wired in a 20-acre
tract planted in cotton to keep them on
the job. The guinea brigade immedi
ately set to work devouring the weevils
and proved great fighters, cleaning up
the whole tract in a few days. Careful
inspection showed that the weevils were
entirely exterminated, while farms ad
joining were overrun.
-Holland got his idea from turning
loose a flock of guinea fowl in a field of
vegetables infeBted with green bugs
that are too aristocratic to feed on cot
ton bolls. The guinea fowl made a com
plete clean-up. The plan ia working
profitably both ways for Holland. The
fowls fattened rapidly and commanded
fancy prices in the poultry markets.
Holland is preparing to apply his plan
to a much larger acreage, and has pur
chased several hundred additional gui
neas for the enterprise.
He is confident they will save him
thousands of dollars hy destroying the
weevils, while bringing additional profits
from the extra weight of the fowls.
Holland’s plans are being closely
watched by hundreds of cotton planters
of the South, with the purpose of adopt
ing the same policy.
Bowel Complaints in India.
In a lecture at one of the Des Moines,
Iowa, churches a missionary from India
told of going into the interior of India,
where he was taken sick; that he had a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy with him
him and believed that it saved his life.
This remedy is used successfully in
India both as a preventive and cure for
cholera. You may know from this that
it can be depended upon fur the milder
forms of bowel complaint that occur in
this country. Obtainable everywhere.
A Pslam of Life.
1. My wife is my boss, I shall not
deny.
2. She maketh me to lie down be
hind the bed when swell company
comes.
3. She restoreth my pocket-book af
ter she has spent all its contents, and
she leadeth me up the main aisle at
church for her new hat’s sake.
4. Yea, though I walk more than half
the night through darkness with a cry
ing baby I will not rest, for she is be
hind me. Her broomBtick and her hat
pin they do everything but comfort me.
5. She prepareth a cold snack for me,
then maketh a bee line for the bridge
club. She anointeth my head with the
rolling-pin. Mine arms runneth over
with bundles before she is half done
shopping.
6. Surely, her dressmaker’s and mil
liner’s bill, shall follow me all the days
of my life; and I will dwell in the house
of my wife forever.

GOOD CAUSE FOR ALARM
These Figures Will Make Newnan
People Take Notice.
Deaths from kidney disease have in
creased 72 per cent in twenty years.
People overdo nowadays in so many
ways that the constant filtering of poi
soned blood weakens the kidneys. Be
ware of fatal Bright’s disease. When
backache or urinary ills suggest weak
kidneys, use Doan’s Kidney Pills, live
carefully, take things easy and avoid
heavy eating. Doan’s Kidney Pills
command confidence, for no other kid
ney remedy is so widely used or so
generally successful. Home indorse
ment is the best proof of merit. Read
thiH Newnan resident's story:
J. H. Foster, 47 W. Washington St.,
Newnan, says: "My buck gave me lots
of trouble. Invariably in the mornings
it was sore and lame. The least bit of
work or any stooping caused me to suf
fer awfully. Dizzy spells almost over
came me at times. The kidney secre
tions also passed irregularly. Colds
settled in my kidneys and made my
condition worse. I used two boxes of
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured me
of all symptoms of kidney trouble.”
