has appointed a committee to
investigate the subject of convict
labor and to report as to best
way to employ that labor without
injury to legitimate industry.
The State of North Carolina

any State we know of, and her
example has been followed by
two or three other Southern
States. North Carolina works the
bulk of her convicts on farms
leased by the State, some she
hires to railroad companies which
employ them in grading, etc, on
new roads, and under the law
some counties employ short term
con viols in grading the county
roads. The number kept

small, mostly women men
who are not physically able to
perform heavy manual labor.

Necessities always sell.
What folks must have they
buy.
What want they will buy, if
hey can afford to.
What folks can't- afford to to-
day they will tomorrow, it they
can.
Necessities excepted, few things are
purchased on the spur of the moment.
Buyers think before they buy.
They may think they don't think,
hut they do think.
The man who wants a coat talks it
over, and thinks about it before he
buys it.
The woman do s not think she wants
a dress at the breakfast table and buy it
before dinner.
She may not buy it for three months
after she first began to want it.
Nobody paints a house, buys
or carpets, or anything else ex-
what they must have, and have at
once, until the matter has been given
the consideration it deserves, and lime
and go together.
The good of good advertising is more
in the future than in the present.
True bargain advertising will help to
sell goods at but the rank and
file of advertising has more latent, than
surface power, and its value is not
what it is worth today, but in what it is
tomorrow and tor many days to
come.
The general advertisers, who reckon
advertising by the closest and most
tested methods, long ago d that
it is as necessary to advertise goods be-
fore season u during season.
Good advertising may begin pay
when it first appears, and generally
well written advertising shows its
power immediately, but the real good
it is in its permanency, and in what
it will do in the future, for no strong
advertisement, unless some special
bargain is ever forgotten by the reader,
although the reader may chink he has
forgotten it, but it again appears be-
fore his mind whenever conditions
it.
Extensive advertising before season
when people are about what
they will buy during the season, more
than doubles the value of advertising in
season.
