('amdto, 8. C? Friday, March 26, 1926 The bargains in muil order cata logue) are sometimes more imagin able than real, and when the goods come they may not be such bargains as the glowing descriptions when perutad around the family fireside would indicate. Here's a case in point from The Anderson Daily Mail, which shows, not only that it some times saves in dollafs and cents to buy at home, but the customer gets quicker delivery, has somebody right at hand to fall back on in case of - lissatisfaction, etc.: "An Anderson The BULLS EYE 'Editor mnd Qcnera! JAanaqer WILL feOGERS J Can't Smoke History A fellow from Carolina wants to know where I get the idea that "Bull" Durham and George Wash ington come from the same state. He says, "Why d$n't you write and give the people the real History of 'Bull' Durham in its native State, South Carolina, that people would appreciate that more than these Bull Legends of yours." Now thanks, Sir, for your good natured suggestion. If I knew His-1 tory I wouldn't be able to write "Bull" Durham Ads. I would be a College Professor, get everything right, and get nothing Ifor it. Everything you suggested me tell ing the public about when and where "Bull" Durham originated, has been told for 66 years by typ ical Advertising writers. That's the only thing the Company asked of me was "please don't tell again where it came from, or how." You <ee you didn't read their Ads, but you did read mine and remembered it, because it was wrong. ? % Writing Ads that will be re membered is a queer game. This is an Ad,, not a History. I selected Ads oyer History on account of the pay. (American Tobacco Com pany's pay is as good as its tobacco.) Where "Bull" Durham comes from or where it goes to is left for the starving Historian. P.S. You notice I named in this ar ticle this WRONG Carolina. 'ITiat's so North Carolina will get sore because I named South Carolina, and South Carolina will get sore because I didn't ?lame North Carolina. A true South erner never forgets. P.P.S. There will be another piece ;n this paper soon. Watch for k. You tin. ?* Bull Durham Guaranteed by twm*4*A4*m 1 1 r Fifth Avenue.

H, placed a handsome boulder to mark the spot where the gallant Baron DcKalb fell in the Battle of Camden on August 16, 1780. This boulder, though near the public road, would not be seen by the aver age passerby, being obscured by shrubbery and underbrush. Would it not be a good idea to have this cleared away and instead plant evergreens and blooming trees sucfy as crabapple, dogwood and the like and create the Baron DeKalb Park on the Camden Battleground, mak ing it a place of beauty? This would also be an ideal spot for the Battleground Tea Room where not only our own people but the stranger within our gates could spend many pleasant evenings, mak-. ing this a shrine where the lovers, of history could gather for this spot is not only of local but national interest. The Boy Scouts could be interested in this project and could put it over in a day. And Mr. W. A. Edwards, who so graciously donated one acre for this purpose, would gladly add one or two more, and then a sign board should be placed where this road leaves the new highway, direct ing the stranger to this spot. BACKING HIS CONVICTIONS (From The Manufacturer) A lawyer in Now York City wrote his brother who is head of a New York state country bank, in regard to the use of government printed en velopes by the bank. He said: "I know their convenience and doubtless they are cheaper, but in these days when the various classes of industry and business real^e the necessity of fighting against n the encroachment of the government and state into business, it is rather in consistent for a bank, or any other business, to encourage government competition with its own citizens. So far as the envelopes are concerned, the government is in the business tax free; and if it can manufacture, sell and distribute envelope in competi tion with private enterprise, which must pay the taxes to maintain gov ernment, there is i>o good reason why it should not invade other fields of Business. Each industrial function taken over in the name of the gov ernment adds an increased tax burden on the private citizen and property owner. I think that when the pres ent supply of government envelopes is exhausted, we should purchase our envelopes from a private printer who pays taxes to maintain our govern ment, even if it makes us lick our own stamps and causes us to pay a little more for the printing. Think it over." > Type Metal Wit A woman can make a fool of a man without half trying. What a lot of things there are to disagree about at home. Wonder if the old boys ever did work sixteen hours a day? The average family has more money tied up in drugs than in food. Who was the first man to begin eating asparagus with his fingers? It costs a lot of money to die com fortably, unless one goes off sud denly. Speaking of exasperating things, how about trying to smoke a busted cigar ? Why is it that a man with a beard always seems to like poached eggs? The men who used to pull out their gold-filled, jewelled watches on the slightest provocation now talk about their automobiles and golf scores. When twins are announced by a neighbor you might as well act nat ural and laugh. We walk into trouble through open doors; vtffe have to pick the locks to get out. ? Type Metal Magazine. G. M. Adams, Tyler, Smith County, Texas, produced sixteen bales of fine cotton on five acres and sold it for $2,484.16; ir. addition to wining prizes of $1,500.

This is written with scenery. On the left is sinking an Arizona sunset. Come out here, if you want to know how it looks. On the left the moon is up, gaining color, as the sun goes down. And from this spot you could walk a few feet, then jump down one mile. This is the Grand Canyon of the* Colorado, with its thousands of towers, mountains, forts, peaks of every shape and color risiug up from the canyon's floor one mile down. The western horizon is a rim of gold, the farewell effort and defiance of the sun, rolling down to China. And the canyon below is changing its colors and shadows, obedient to fading sunlight and growing moonlight. It would be worth your while to see that. Shadows and bands of color a mile high, exposed layers of old earth that took millions of centuries to build laid bare by the rushing waters, each with its color and character, each an open book to the geologist, show ing exact age as plainly as you read it in a painted face. A genuine artist, with soul, tem perament and similar things, would' be sick and probably faint if he could look up from these typewriter let ters, carefully padded with rubber, toward the east and west. Below the pale moor), almost full, the sky is a dark rose purple. Below the purple there is a dark broad band of heavy blue. The moon, queen of heaven, rides in triumph -en- n colored throne as wide as the sky. Somebody should warn owners of mills in Passaic (that they are running risks. This nation was interested whtyi gas bombs first appeared in the big war. It will not be pleased to hear of employers fighting a strike, legal in character, using gas bombs against their workers, and turning heavy streams of cold water on women and children, when tear gas ..failed to do the work. Now the workers have bought. two thousand gaH masks to be ready for the next attack, which is not pleas ant reading in this prosperous re public. We are doing pretty well here; industrialists are not exactly starving to death. They should warn those Passaic idiots against upsetting the apple cart. Employers have con siderably more to lose than employees in the game of violence. A solemn Washington dispatch says the president and cabinet discussed the Wall street scare, and "President Coolidge let it be known that htf felt there was nothing taking place in the business world symptomatic of a let up in the present prosperity." i , The ..trouble, just "nervous pros perity" among those of the gamblers, afraid of their own profits. The revised income tax rate will bring hundreds of millions out of the income tax proof non-taxable securi ties, and business will boom more than ever. You read of young Americans go-t i fig to the dogs via the Charleston, jazz and bootleg whiskey. Then Samuel Moore, seventeen-year-old captain of the high school rifle team at Newton, Mass., reassures you with his new world's record. That young gentleman, it sounds unbelievable, ma'de three thousand consecutive bullseyes between eight o'clock in the morning and five in the evening- Neither Charleston nor pre mature hootch has ruined that young man's nerves. The world has been much explored since and before the days of Marco Polo, and the exploring goes on. ' Ten expeditions are about to start for the polar regions, some to find the Pole' again, others to seek new lands, and, perhaps, oil, gold. etc. Others go in the interest of science. In f'anada frozen roads are packed with gold seeker*, defying the tem perature fifty degrees below zero, 1 r. a new gold rush; gold seeker?, mu.sh ing in dog sleds, ra'irg to the new strike where "gold is showing over a stretch of country five miles in lengthy with good ground, itili un staked." It won't remain unstaked long. Say "gold" and people move as when you cry "fire." '?? i"iih nni i ~i'i r . ir.1 ' ? ~ Tfce Oldest TwIm S a'y? the Lincoln County, N. C?
