.iny ?ocal advertiser in the town
and will, no doubt, if you ask him, tell
you it has paid. The campaign he has
run for the past year has been very
aitnil.ir to the ona referred to last week
that brought such satisfactory results
to Mr. Ott Hare, of Hamilton, Mo.
National advertisers are now recog?
nizing the fact that the country paper
is the best medium for reaching the
homes of the people. As tn example:
In April last the International Harvest?
er Company made a trial of country
newspaper advertising, and as an ex?
periment, selected papers in twenty-one
states. At that time their advertising
manager wrote: "This is our first ven?
ture into weekly newspaper advertis?
ing, and we are awaiting the outcome
with considerable interest." The out?
come was, that in their next order they
doubled the number of papers first used
and more than doubled their advertising
space, and wrote that they were much
gratified with the results. Their local
agent, the Star Milling Company, of
North Tazewell, advises us that the
campaign, advertising manure spread?
er?*, resulted in the sale of nearly a car
load of spreaders in this county alone.
The example of the International
Harvester Company ie rapidly being
followed by other national advertisers,
as there will be seen in this issue of
the Republican the advertisements of
Liggett & ?Myers; Fairbanks, Morse &
Co. ; Philadelphia Smelting & Refining
Co , and the Standard Oil Company, all
of whom have never before used coun?
try newspaper advertising space, while
others have appeared and still others
btive contracted for space, and their ad?
vertisements will appear from time to
time.
If an advertisement in the Republi-1
can will help such firms as these, why
won't one help you, Mr. Country'Mer
chanf
The best way to atone for past actions
that were wrong is not by continually
reproaching oneself, but by perferming
actions of a directly opposite character.
UNFAIR.
The Republican, as a rule, does not
comment on a case pending in the
; courts, and, for this reason has, so far,
' said nothing about the co-called elec
> tion fraud cases in the court of Russell
county. It is reported that the grand
jury there has found indictments against
several parties, and the reports that
have reached here also say that more
democrats than republicans have been
indicted; and that the tenants and fore?
men from the farms of Henry C. Stu
| art were before the grand jury on last
Thursday that that body might investi?
gate the rumor that the tenants were
allowed their daily wage to go to
the rjlls on the 5th of November and
work for the election of General
! Ayers, the democratic candidate for
j Congrefcs. Be all this as it may, it is
manifestly unfair to presume that the
parties indicted are guilty until after
a fair trial in open court. Grand jury
actions are, by their very nature, more
or less Star Chamber proceedings, and
their results are not, of necessity, abso
lutely conclusive. Some of the demo?
cratic papers of the state, however, are
apparently endeavoring to create the
impression that only one man, Hon. A.
P. Crockett, private secretary to Con?
gressman Slemp, was indicted; and, by
inference, that he is proven guilty with?
out trial.
The Roanoke Times has been particu?
larly bitter in its attacks and, in its edi?
torial page, by infamous innuendo, en?
deavors to give the impression that
Congressman Slemp is involved. It is
not of the these editorials, however, we
wish to speak, for we believe that there
are but few left in the Ninth who pay
the slightest heed to the idle vaporings
that emanate from the discredited fourth
page of the Times. But in the head?
lines of its issue of last Sunday it said:
"Mr. Slemp's Secretary Intimates That
lloth Parties Were Tarred With the
Same Stick;" and, by inference, inti?
mate that Mr. Crockett pleads guilty,
and, in extenuation of his acts, that the
democrats were tqually guilty; while in
the text following it will be seen that
Mr. Crockett absolutely does not make
the statement the Times intimates; and
although he says he has heard that the
democrats used money corruptly, he is
fair enough to say that it is only "hear?
say"
Such perversion of the headlines of a
news article, to mislead the reader, is
only possible in such a manifestly unfair
and partisan organ as the Times. In
pleasant contrast to this is the editorial
utterance of another democratic paper
in Roanoke?the Evening World?which
naya:
"From all that we have been able
to gather concerning that campaign
it was from start to finish excep?
tionally clean and fair snd <=quare.
Being under this impression we fail
to see where there are just grounds
for a contest. In our judgment
General Ayers, should he institute
a contest, will be wasting time and
money. Democrats in Congress
have too large a majority to view
with favor the claims of a defeated
candidate based on doubtful allega?
tions." * * *
BLISSFUM6N0RA?CE.
"Discussing the fact that "the
enormous campaign funds" of na?
tional elections are distributed in
the so-called close of states of the
north and west, and that small if
any portion of them finds its way
into the south, the Durham Sun
says:
" 'While the so_thern states evi?
dently have never had their share
of the vast campaign funds, yet it
is to their credit that no portion of
their population has ever been de?
bauched, bought and sold in 'blocks
of five' or in blocks of any other
size, as was the case in other
states. '
"Would that we might share the
blissful ignorance of our contempo?
rary in this respect; but we happen
to have the unfortunate habit of
reading the local newspapers of
Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia
and southwest Virginia, and no are
disqualified from hugging the flat?
tering unction to our souls that the
south is altogether free from polit
al bribery and corruption."?Nor?

A WORD TO OUR READERS.
In accoidtuice with our usual custom,
and in order to give the office force an
??pportunity to enjoy the Christmas
holidays, no paper will be issued from
-his office next week. This, then, wi;?
e the last issue before the New Yea- ;
ltd between now and that time we frill
>'tid each of our subscribers who m- j
e in arrears, a statement of their ac
>unt. This means an expenditure <?'
about thirty dollars for postage, at- :
?-. -arly as much more for stationery, I
-ay nothing of the labor of sending thct
statements out. Will you not then he
us by looking at the date following yot:
n une on tbe paper, which shows tl ?
j etr and month to which you have pai>',
and, if in arrears, remit at once naad
s ive us sending you a notice?
To explain again how the time of ex
! piration of your subscription is expresr
cl: If the date following your name
mads, say. Feb. 12, it means that you
hive paid up to February 1, 1912, and
i we for the current year?all subscrip?
tions, in order to keep correct account?,
being dated from the first of the month
fallowing the time you subscribed. This
mik??8 it comparatively easy for the
subscriber to keep up with when he
subscription is due, and will save us a
considerable expense on sending out
st?tements.
As the paper is only a dollar a yeai
each time we have to wrife y>-u is fiv<
| p r cent of the amount dua, and a heavj
! tax on the paper to collect. So, now.
in the j 'yful holiday reason make the
printer'* heart glad by paying hin
what you owe.

hold short courses for farmers and their
wives in more than twenty Indiana

practical as possible, and no expense is
being spared to place it on a high plane.

dairying, horticulture, poultry and do?

could do no better than to drop politics

for this institution next year, and se?

The saffron light of dusk has passed;

And New Year's eve is here at last.

Against the starry-frosted sky?
The Old Year goes; so let it be;
To Nineteen Twelve we bid good-by !
