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

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

WHY NOT IMPROVE IT?
Some years ago thellobkirk Hill
chapter D, A. 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."

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

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

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

You read of young Americans go-t

Samuel Moore, seventeen-year-old

That young gentleman, it sounds
unbelievable, ma'de three thousand
consecutive bullseyes between eight
o'clock in the morning and five in the

mature hootch has ruined that young
man's nerves.
The world has been much explored
since and before the days of Marco
