Notes and Accounts Unpaid ~Shou'd
Be Reduced to Judgment,
There is ausolutely no investment
that a busiaess man can make which
will yield a larger return for the outlay
than that necessary to reduce his un"
collectible notes and accounts to judg"
ment, and have the judgment docketed
in the Superior Court. It is tue cus-
tom with a large number of business
nien when a note or account cannot be
collected to charge 1t up on the profit
and loss account, and let it run out of
date. This is great folly. It costs but
a very stnall sum to reduce a claim to
judgment, and even though the debtor
had nothing at the time, et it will be
that in a surprisingly large number of
cases, the debtor will acquire something
before the juagment runs out of date:
We know of at least two instances
where judgments were taken against
parties who were wholly insolvent at
| the time, but the judgements wer: col-
lected years afterwards out of the in-|,
surance money coming to the judgment
debtors upon the death of certain rela"
tives. For a much str.nger reason, if
jue debtor has any land at all; a judg
ment should be taken, because the
Judgment, it properly docketed in the
Superior Court, will become a lien upon
the lard, and will be collected some
day, when the homestead right fails in ;
aud in the meantime any person who
purchases the iaud from the judgment
debtur, will take it subject to the hen
of the judgment"C, W. Tillet, in

Few Ru:es for oGetting on.�
1. Be honest. Dishonesty seldom
makes one rich, and when it does, riches
are a curse. There is no such thing us
diskonest success.
2. Work. The world is not going to
pay you for nothing. Ninety per cent.
of what, men call talent is only a genius
for hard work.
3. Be independent. Do not lean ou
otners todo your thinking or to eon"
quer difficulties.
4, Enter into that business or trade
that you like best, and tor which nature
seems to have fitted you, provided it is
honorable.
5. Be co.scientious in the discharge
~cof every duty. Do your work thorough
ly. Noone can rise who slights his
work.
6. DonTt try to begin at the top. Be-
gin at the bottom and you will havea
chanee to rise, and will be sure of
reachtng the top sometime.
7; Trust in hard work. Inscribe
on your banner, oluck is a fool, pluck
is a hero.�
8. Be punctual, Keep your appoint-
ment. Be there a minute before time

PROFITABLE PUBLICITY.
Preliminary Publicity.
BY NATHTL C. FOWLER, JR. OF NEW
YORK, DOCTOR OF PUBLICITY.
Necessities always sell.
What folks must have they must
buy.
What folks want They: will buy, if
they can afford to.
What folks canTt afford to uy to"
day they will ouy tomorrow, if they
can.
Necessities excepted, few things are
purchased on the spur of the moment.
Buyers think betore they buy.
They may think they donTt think,
but 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 furni-
ture or carpets, or anything else ex"
cept what they must have, and have at
once, until the matter has been given
the consideration it deserves, and time
and covsideration go tozether.
The good of good advertising 18 more
in the future than in the present.
True bargain advertising will help to
sell goods at once, 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
wort: tomorrow and tor many days to
come. .
~The general advertisers, who reckon
advertising by the closest and most
tested methods, long ago decided that
it is ag necessary to advertise yoods be-
fcre season us during season.
Good advertising may begin vo pay
when it first. appears, and generally
well written retail advertisiug shows its
power immediately, but the real good
of it is in its permanency, and in what
it will do in the iuture, for no strong
advertisement, unless of some speciai
bargain is ever forgotten by tbe reader,
although the reader may think he has
tcrgotten it, but it again appears be"
tere his mind whenever conditions suz-
gest It.
Extensive oadvertising before seascn
when people are thinking about what
they will buy during the season, more
than doubles the value of advertising in
season.
Killed on the Railroad.
Mr. Parrott Cade, who lived about

THE LATE MBS.
On October 22nd, Mrs. Fannie
T. Wallace, a former resident of
Greenville, died at her home in
Trinidad, Col. The REFLECTOR
made a note of her death at the
time, but has deferred until now
giving a mcre extended sketch of
her.
Mrs. Wallace (nee Miss Fannie
Parker) was born near Greenville
Sept. 9th, 1843. Her parents
moved to Greenville in 1851, and
WALLACE.
' the remainder of ber childhood
ana early womanhood were spent
in this town. She was well educs-
ted, and as a young lady is remem-
bered by many of our people as
being one of marked culture and
refinement, and greatly loved for
the gentleness and purity of every
thought and act, and for her love-
~ly character.
On May 22nd, 1864, she united
with the Greenville Baptist church
and was baptized by Rev. Henry
Petty. oShe was devoted to the
church and its work and proved
one of its most faithful members.
She esteemed it a priyilege to
serve her Savior and every duty
~was a pleasure.
Op June 17th, 1868, she married
Rey. 8.8. Wallace, then a wminis-
~ter of the Baptist church, They
lived here until 1874, when they~
went out west, first locating in
Denver, Col., and later in Trini-
dad, in the same State, which
p'ace they made their permanent
home. Though far away she nev
er forgot North Carolina and oc-
Casioually came back to her old
home to yisit the family of her
sister, Mrs. M. A. Jarvis, and
greet her host of friends who
were always glad to welcome her.
The best evidence of the esteem
in which she was beld in her dis-
tant hume is portrayed in a tri-
bute by a jot committee from
the church and Ladies Society of}
Trinidad, which was published in
the Morning Chronicle of Nov,
12th. A friend has kindly loaned
usa copy of that paper and we
take pleasure in publishing the
tribute that here friends here may
oyead it. Itis as follows:
In paying this tribute to the
memory of: our-dear sister, Mrs.
Fannie F. Wallace, who departed
this life Thursday, Oct, 22nd 1896.
we feel that we cannot frame into
words that will convey to others,
the affections we all bore her,and
the esteem in which we held her,
for words can never express the
loss we sustain in her death,
' peithercan we write of herlife and
character, her loug and constant
deyotion to the church, her jn-
tegrity of purpose, purity. of}
heart und gentliness of manner;
these and many more ot kindred
yirtues that were here to an emi-
~ent degree. To feel and know
that these virtues were hers, one
had but)toknowher,

erate. always, even in her long

the loss of this dear sister, who
had so endeared herself to all; of
this efficient worker, who so faith

Resolved, That we shall ever
hold her memory sacred and her
Christian life and example as one
worthy of emulation.
Resolved, That we extend to
her beloyed busband, and sister

sympathy in this sad hour, kuow-
ing that we sorrow with them.

tions be entered upon the records
of the church and Ladies Society,
that they be published in the
city papers and thata copy be
presented to the husband and
sister of the deceased.

it came, and the doctor examined
his tongue critically, felt of his
pulse, inquired'as to the symptoms
of his illness and then looked wise.
Taking a pad from the table, he
wrote a prescription calling for
bread pills and distilled water or

THE oCUNGER BAG.�
How the Negroes of the South Protect
Themselves.
One of the most remarkable myste-
ries connected with the life of the
southern negro, especially those of
~Georgia and Florida, is the wonderful
~and abiding faith they have in the
power of the ocunger bag.� When
|eornered. however, with the question
las to whether they carry concealed
| about them an article of the kind. or
whether they ever pay a visit to the
odoctor,� every last one of them will
stoutiy deny the soft impeachment;
yet, as a matter of fact, a large percent
'of the colored population of the south
are firm believers in voodooism and
faithfully spend a portion of their earn-
ings each mouth in procuring imagined
security from enemies and evil spirits,
or in laying up asupply of good Itt for
future use.
.oCunger bags� ere of two kinds. The
one made of yellow flannel is to ward
off evil spirits, the other of red flannel
is supposed to insure mcol Inehk, or
bring to pass some cherished desire of
the owner. The contents cevend upen
circumstanecs, and the cost is from 25
cents toa dollar.
The docto hears the vistiorTs story,
and, after deciding what the remedy
shal] be, selects a small bag of the
proper tint of redT or yellow, and puts
into it somcthing like the following:
A piece of hair or whiskers; some
earth that the right or left foot has trod
at the ~hour of midnight at a certain
designated spot; a relic of a dead
friend; a clipping of the applicart's
finger or toe nail; a piece of money
from the person, or belonging indirect-
ly to the candidate, which must be
soaked so many hours in vinegar, 1I!co-
hol or whisky; a few watermelon
seeds; a little gunpowder, perhaps, or
~maybe a pinch of snuff-or a piece of
oLittle David root� will do the busi-
ness. What oLittle David rootT is no
mortal but a voodoo doctor has ever
been able to find out, and yet the great-
est possible faith is placed in its powers
by the superstitious darkies, who be-
lieve anything the docter tells them.
It is a peculiar growth that looks very
much like slippery elm, and the secret
of its origin or place of hiding is held
in common only by the doctors and the
| priests who practice this style of oblack
art.�
Among other things that an applicant
is told to dois to place a piece of
this root in his or her mouth.
It is almost immediately dis-
solved into a kind of soft paste,
and when pressed between the palms
the future can be as easily foretold as if
~read from so many pages of typewrit-
ten manuscript. At least the aston-
|ished negroes think so, and thoroughly
believe in it. oLittle David root� is
responsible for a great deal of supersti-
tion in the south.
There is now living in a suburb of At-
~lanta, Ga., a fine, fat negress, weighing
250 pounds or more, who has the repu-
| tation of being the most successful voo-
~doo doctor in these parts. Her cabin is
a veritable curiosity shop, which is
hung about with more symbols and
charms than an IndianTs wigwam.
Amorg other things her supply of
ocungers� is unlimited, and these are
sold to visitors (unbelievers included)
at an average rate of 50 centseach. If
a higher degree of potency is desired, of
~course, the charge is higher."St. Louis

Deaf MutesT Ideas.
The testimony of educated deaf
~mutes regarding some of their ideas be-
fore instruction is very interesting.

ber supposed that rain and lightuins
