When we hear business man howl
ing about the inroads Of mail order
houses into his business and declaiming
about the disloyalty of the people Of
this city and community we at once
look over the advertising columns of
the News and the other city and county
has developed the fact that the bust
ness men who advertise and fight the
mail order houses with their own
weapons are holding their own without
trouble. All the local merchants have
to do to hold trade is to meet the COM
petition of outsiders in price and quail
ity; which they have no trouble what
ever in doing.-M Mount Pleasant News.
