the g.st of their remarks was the
prosperity that 1910 brought and
the hopes for a continuance of pr s-

“We go into 1911 with the fewest

the year,” said tae grocery merchant.
“Our business has been good all the

We are glad to see tne Chamber
of Commerce directorate set apart
next Thursday as a special t me fqr
discussing thoroughly and in detail
the proposed Denton-to-Slidell rail-
road. It Is a matter which has been
more or IcM agitated for the past
several months, and we beneve there
hu been a more or less general
awakening to tho fact that Denton
needs it both as an offensive and de-
fensive measure of Denton is to con-
tinue its growth as it should grow.
One railroad will not make a town
any more than one swallow make a
summer, even if the road is In ad-
dition to those already here. But
this Si dell line when it is built, as
it inevtably will be, will afford
Denton products and D nton mer-
chandise an outlet Into a most fer-
tile terltory over which, with Den-
ton own ng the Hne, Denton will be
the center of distribution. The
R-cord an.l Chronicle has stated its
belief more t!an once with regard to
the Slidell line—1. e., that nothing
within Denton’s power will be of
more .direct or more lasting ben fit
than this. More than that, the suc-
cess of the proposed line makes it
certain that It will be extended in
oth ir directions, and of its success
we have not the least doubt. The
I other Jay we mentioned an Arkan-
I sax short line whioX less favorably
j situated than this, was being oper-
ated on an annual exp nse of 813.-
000 out of revenue of 838,000, and
owed not a cent, all its indebtedness
having been retired by Its net in-
come. Short lin b„ favorably
cated are revenue producers.
Denton-to-Slidell 1’ne, backed
Denton and Slidell people and their
freight diverted over it at every pos-
sible opportunity, will be a revenue
producer from tha start. We hope
the Chamber of Commerce will meet
with the support and assistance the
project deserves at the hands of
i evc-ry business man in Denton wtho
' really wants to Bee Denton grow
' ■ --o-*--------------
Cheerfully submitting to the doc-
trine of "to the victor belongs the
spoils,’ we yet beliove that the doc-
' trine couLt be softened somewhat
and not include all our schools and
eleemoBynary institqtions in the 1 st
i of spoils And this is no criticism
1 of Mr. Colquitt, either for he is do-
ing only what his pr deceKsors have
done before him, uud is deserving
of no special censure any more than
they. But we submit that it Is a
custom not calculated for the best
Interests of the- Institutions to make
wholesale changes In the govern ng
boards of our Blate institutions.

The man who conducts
his business on the theory that
it doesn't pay and he can’t af-
ford to advertise, sets up his
judgment in opposition to that
of all the best business men of
the world. Says an author-
ity: ’’With a few yean’ ex-
perience in conducting a small
business on a few thousand
dollars' capital, he assumes
to know more than those
whose hourly transactions ag-
gregate more than do his in a
year, and who have made
their millions by pursuing a
course that he says doesn’t
pay”
If advertising doesn’t pay
why is is that the most suc-
cessful merchants of every
town, large or small, are the
heaviest advertisers? If it
does not pay, why do the
largest business firms in the
world spend millions in that
way? Is it because they
want to donate those millions
