Who Does This STING?

Do not allow idle talk to rob
you of a bargain, when it is
put within your reach. Because
we do not try to make 100 per
cent profit and are selling COAL
OIL and GASOLINE at the price it
should bring, there are people that
will tell you the oil has
been watered or it will ex-
plode or any other malicious
canard in order to get you to
pay the big price for their stuff,
that they may make A BIG PROFIT.
We will here explain a few things.
This OIL costs us 1-1O cts. q
gallon and the GASOLINE costs us
II 6.10 cts. Why should we ask
more than 10 and II 1-2 cts. per
gallon for it? Now that there has
been a merchant of this place
corresponding with the Standard
Oil Co., asking it to take this
oil out of our hands, we will ask
our customers to write a line of
inquiry to the Standard Oil Co.
at Moherly and inquire what
Perfection Oil is and whether or
not there can be a profit made
by selling this oil at 10 cts. per
gallon?
, Do not stand in your own light,
but take advantage of a real
bargain price, and let US fill your
OIL and GASOLINE CANS. If any,
one doubts the fairness of this
deal or the quality of the oils,
let them come to us, as we stand
ready at any moment to make
test WITH ANY OIL OR GASOLINE
SOLD IN KEYTEsvILLE,

While in Salisbury Friday at.

While in Salisbury Friday al
ternoon we were shown through
the handsomely appointed suite
of rooms occupied by the Amer
ican Life g. Accident Insurance
Co., which is enjoying a splendid
run of business. 1t not only
writes sick and accident insur.
ance, but about two weeks ago
added straight. out life insurance
and has about $4,000 of the lat.
ter now in force, besides some.
thing like s225,0O0 sick and ac-
cident insurance. In the office
are six young ladies and two
gentleman besides ]. w. Cooper,
the president of the company, E.
M. Williams, treasurer, and G.
C. Hammond, the attorney. AS
an evidence of the volume of
business that is being done by
the company we will say that it is
by far the best patron of the
Salisbury post office and uses
about S1OO worth of stamps a
month. This is an enterprise
that should be encouraged, as
entirely too much money is sent
East by the western states TO pay
various kinds of insurance, and
particularly life insurance.

who makes the false pretense of be-
ing of legal age.
In order to give the dealer political
independence, the model license law
provides that the court must suspend
the license for thirty days upon the
first conviction of the license holder
for any violation of the law and that
the court must cancel the license upon
the second conviction of the license
holder This provision is compulsory
and the court can grant no favors
The law further provides that where
ia person has forfeited his license he
cannot again obtain a license in the
state
Under the model license law every
dealer would be independent of poll
tics; he would have valuable license,
and it would be more profitable to
obey the law than to disobey it, With
Iall of the retailers obeying the laws
there would be no excuse for agita-
ton and the liquor question would
have no part in political campaigns
Model license law has been accepted
by many of the leading thinkers of
the United States as the true solution
of the liquor problem and it has the
support of the conservative and in
dependent press of the country.
Thanking you in advance for giving
us this opportunity to suggest these
thoughts and facts to your readers, we
ARE,
Sincerely yours.
