We occupy the position that the term
'•cheap," as implied by pretending to
offer any article of goods for less than
its real value is, to deal mildly, mis
leading upon its face, and should be
shunned by sensible, thinking people.
"No shoddy” is our motto for all the
term implies.
To those expecting something for
nothing we cannot supply your wants;
on the other hand, if you desire full
value for your money you are the class
of custom we are hustling for.

BILL ARP’S LETTER
Bartow Philosopher Writes of the
Swiss and Their little Domain-
GIVES A RAP TO THE ICONOCLASTS
Reverts to Beautiful Story of William
Tell and His Deeds of Oaring,
Great Peaple; Great Country.
How old people cling to the atories
and traditions that charmed their
childhood. Good old Mother Akin
came to see me and to comfort me in
my sickness. She h*s had her share
of trouble, but is always bright and
cheerful and brings sunshine with her.
Somehow the story cf William Te l
came up, and when I remarked that it
was generally set down among the
critics as a myth or a pretty fable, she
said “she would not read any such
heartless scandals nor did she believe
them.” The world is full of these icon
oclasts who would break up every idol
that we have worshiped. The story
of Wil iam Tell is one that is fit to he
believed and handed down from gen
eration to generation. Voltaire start
ed that fable theory because he did
not like the Swiss. Many books have
been written on both sides, but the
old family traditions that have come
down to us for 600 years are still as
much the faith of the Swiss people as
their religion. William Tell is as much
today their national hero and the
founder of their repub ic as Washing
ton is ovirs and the little chetpel on the
lake where he was drowned is still
preserved td commemorate him.”
Well, whether It is a fact or a fable,
it is one of the prettiest stories ever
told and ought to be repeated to the
children of every household. It was
in the fourteenth century when Aus
tria had overridden and ton altered
Switzerland and had stationed her ty
rant bailiffs in every canton to subdue
and humble the people that one Gess
!er placed the ducal cap upon a pole in
the public place and ordered every one
Who passed to uncover his head and
bow to it. Tell refused and was seized
and condemned to death, but as he
tvas known as the best bowman in
Switzerland he was offered the alter
native of shooting an apple from his
son’s head. The boy was his idol and
he begged for some other alternative,
but Gessler refused. Sixty yards was
measured off, the boy stationed and
the apple placed. Gessler and his co
horts looked on while Tell bowed his
knees in prayer. Rising he looked to
heaven and then let fly the arrow and
pierced the apple in its center. The
boy ran to his father and leaped into
his arms, and another arrow that had
been concealed fell upon the ground.
“What was that arrow for?” said Gess
ler. “To shoot you, you brute, had I
slain my son.” For that he was con
demned to prison and Gessler took him
in a boat on the lake; but a violent
storm came up and Tell was unchained
to steer the boat. He made for the
shore, leaped to a rock and with a pole
shoved the boat back into the stormy
waters. Hurrying along the lake he
procured a bow- and arrows from a
countryman and shot Gessler as the
boat passed. “Tell’s Leap” and “Tell’s
Rock” are still known to every child
in Switzerland. Later on he lost his
life while saving a lad from drowning.
What" is unreasonable about this
story? We had a Gessler in Rome at
the close of the civil war. His name
was de la Mesa, a Spaniard who came
over to fight for pay. He did not hoist
the ducal cap, but he stretched the flag
over the sidewalk and
Tells
~ walk under it, but crossed
over to the other side. Then he
stretched another across the whole.
street, and they walked around tlf
block. It was not so much of
spect to the flag as it was contempt for
the foreigner who unfurled it. He re
fused to let our wives and daughters
receive or mail letters unless they
came before him and took an iron-clad
oath of allegiance. He had ten of our
young men and several young ladies
arrested for acting in a tableau to
raise a little money to replace pews
in the churches. The pews had ad
been taken out and made into troughs
to feed their horses in. He was fore
warned that night by a negro that if
he didn't release those girls he would
be killed before morning, and he would
have been. Yes, “Leopard Spots”
were all around here just as they were
in North Carolina. We had Gesslers
and we had Tells, too.
But I was ruminating about Switzer-;
land, that historical and wonderful
country. Now, children and young
people, listen. It is only a little scrap
of a country, about one-fourth the size'
of Georgia, and nearly half of that is
taken up by lakes and mountains. The
most beautiful lakes in the world.
Lake Lucerne (that’s Tell's); Lake
Geneva (that’s Calvin’s); Lake Wen
ner and Wetter —and just think of the
grand old mountains —the Alps and
the Jura and the Jungfrau. Think of
the hospice of the good St. Bernard,
where they kept that fine breed of
dogs who were trained to go out in the
most fearful snow storms in search
jpj- jost travelers and carry food and
wine to them and bring them safely
to the hospice. One of my first bojoks
had a picture of two of these noble
dogs digging in the snow for a man
and feeding him almost dead. One of
the dogs had and bottle strapped around
hie llefk (Hid the otheb a tlask@t Of
food, lh another picture a little boy
Was oh the dog’s back and his arms
around his neck and the dog was bark
ing at the dooi- of the hofcpice for ad
itiiKsiftti. Those pictures and the sto
ries about them were as dear to me as
the story of William Tell.
But think of little Switzerland, with
its population of three million people
and all at work except the babies.
About half are shepherds and herds
men on the mountain slopes and
benches, raising sheep and milch
cows, and in the year 1000 they sold
oVet teh million dollars’ worth of but l
tef atid cheese. Down In the valleys
and around the lakes arfe mahy towns
and little cities that hum like bee
hives, for nimble fingers are making
watches, jewelry, hair work, lace, silk
and cotton fabrics as fine as gossamer
and hundreds of other little things
which, taken all together, make the
commerce of that little water-covered
and snow capped republic nearly dou
ble the commerce of afiy Othef fcbiihtry
according to population.
AU the children from 6 to 12 years
have to go to school part of every
year, and her young men have to be
taught part of two years in military
-actics. There is no standing army,
but every citizen Is a wiling and ready
soldier to defend his country. Its gov
ernment is a republic divided into
twenty-two cantons or counties, and
to maintain this republic they have
been fighting all contiguous nations for
nearly six hundred years and have
whipped every battle they fought-
Austria, RrUssia, Maximillian and at
last Bonaparte tried to subdue that
pesp o, but faled uitterly. They never
had an army of over 30,000, and de
feated Prussia with 60,000 in seven
pitched battles. Austria demanded
20,000 Swiss soldiers to help her fight
Turkey, Switzerland refused to fur
nish them, and ihat brought on war,
and Switzerland'whipped it. We see
by the New York papers that they
have completed the new government
buildings at Berne, and the pictures
of them are lovely and the people are
proud and had a great festival when
they were opened for business. Grand
country—great people. John. Calvin
left his mark upon them, for of all the
twenty-two cantons only three have
kept allegiance to the Roman Catholic
church. But ail are devoted Chris
tians, and on every Christmas day and
every Easter morn the young men and
maidens come tripping down Ahe
mountain paths sinking Cllriot
mas or Easter carols and making the
cliffs and valleys echo with their
songs.
But it is said that their young men
fight for pay and are mercenary sol
diers. Yes, but they choose the side
they believe to be right. They would
not fight for Austria against the Turks,
nor would they fight for Bonaparte,
nor for England against the Boers.
-And now the civilized wor,ld has let
them alone and the little republic has
had peace for nearly a hundred years.
