AS TO POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
The Anvil Herald probably carries more paid political advertis-
ing this week than it has ever carried in a single issue in the more
than twenty-eight years it has been under the present management.
Th sale of advertising space in his paper is the editor’s means
of livelihood, just as the sale of a merchant’s goods or a doctor’s
or lawyer’s services are theirs, and because you see a candidate’s
advertisement in the columns of a paper no more means that that
candidate is the editor’s choice for the office than would the purchase
by the same candidate of a pocket handkerchief from a merchant
mean the merchant's support of the candidate.
Just as the dry goods merchant serves in supplying a need,
the paper serves in supplying a means of publicity which the can-
didate regards as worth the price and for which he pays his money.
When the paper supplies that service at a reasonable price and
tenders it to all prospective buyers at the same price, it has perform-
ed the legitimate function of a merchant of publicity. Just that and
nothing more.
This much that any one concerned may understand and not be
misled.
If you care to know who the editor is supporting for any par-
ticular office ask him.
Maybe he can tell you.

A great deal of interest is being
taken in the operation of the Hollo-

are the first operators in this terri-
tory to utilize electric motor driven
equipment in the operation of their
gin stands.
The four 70 gin stands are now-
driven by a one hundred horse power
motor, and this factor will greatly
increase the efficiency of operation
