Smokers Don't PaGOniZe
UNITED CIGAR STORES
Out OF Sentiment
WE are doing some advertising addressed to smokers who have
w never crossed the thresholds of United Cigar Stores.
A good friend of ours says this is a tactical blunder: "Why
tell all your competitors that you are going after their trade? he
writes. "Why not go after it quietly, as an army advances on the
enemy under the cover of nght?'
This is our answer-we know of no usage of good business
which stops us from going in a straightforward way to all the
world with a claim on its attention.
Every smoker has to buy of some one-of another dealer
if not in a United Cigar Store.
Necessarily to increase the volume of our business ue must
draW on the people Who haze yet to become familiar Wth our
stores.
There is nothing unfair or detestable in th~is-nothing to be
ashamed of, nothing that will not bear the light of day.
In way our friends aluaon to an army is apt, for business
in its essence is warfare.
It's not q conflict of arms, o a matching of force-its a
battle betveen quality prices, service and, to a large extent,
Our fight is straight along these lines.
Nobody is going to spend his money nth US just to encourage
us O withhold it just to break us doWn.
We get what we get, W think, because the man who
buys in a United Cigar Store receives most for his money.
This is the biggest kind of a claim.
Call us to the witness stand-to the counters of I'll own
stores-to offer the necessary proof. Make us face you in open
court and make us fish or cut bait
If we fail the worst that has happened to you is to have
satisfied yourself that in avoiding United Cigar Stores you have
not lost a cent.
One of the strong proofs that you get most for your ~c0o7i0 unted
Cigar Stores is our RlCORO, Saratoga size cigar
The pc is for 2oc-so many old friends all over the country, sayh
is a top value for q bottom price that we earnestly recommend it to or
new friends

Here is good evidence to prove it.
Mrs. Maggie Rigney, of Tazewell.
tVa.s says: II am glad to confirm the
public statement | gave in 1907 in

remedies failed to check the trouble
that | became discouraged, thinking
nothing could reach my complaint.
/ am now firmly convinced that there
is one preparation effective enough to
cure kidney trouble and that is Doan' S
Kidney Pills. My complaint came on
by spells and the greatest distress was
caused by dull, dragging ache be-
tween my shoulders. At times | was
almost helpless and it was impossible
for me to get my rest. The kidney Sc
cretions were also source of annoy-
ance and showed that my kidneys
were at fault. When heard of Doan's

the Republican ticket are talking
freely upon the streets that if it
is elected, it will favor "a wide
open town." We infer from this
that This ticket fayors the Mate
wan Brand of government,
although our esteemed friend
Booton has not answered our re-
peated inq uiriesas to this matter.
If the Editor of the Voice
were nut cracker instead of be-
ing merely "Nutty," he would
not need to call for help at his nut
cracking. With all due respect,
we would remind the Editor of
our esteemed contemporary that
belief in the old saving, talk is
cheap" still widely prevails. We
would further remind him that
the line of talk that he and his
proxy tickets, are handing out is
not worth any more as vote
getter than it costs.

Any Kornit
In Yours?

kornit, as ru b b e r,
wouldn't stretch and the pro-
motors of that elastic Jersey
enterprise are in Jail. The
bogus concern was known as
the Kornit Manufacturing
Company, with Offices in New
York and little factory out
at Belleville, New Jersey.
Ellis and Graves, the promo
ters, are now in prison, but
not until they had put the
non-elastic b n d around
nearly half a million of easy
money. T h y advertised
very largely that they had a
process and factory for man
ufacturing a substitute for
rubber known as "Kornit"
out of horns and hoofs of
cattle. They put out to care
less lnvestorsS371, 900 worth
of stock, and Only $1O4 worth
of the bogus rubber. Of
course there was loss, heart
burnings and final punish
ment.. The promoters get
three years in prison, but the
public. don't get it's money
back.
1t is the old story of money
so convenient that it can be
coaxed into enterprises of
prospective value whereas
the man or woman with his

THE GANG.

l.
Tin Horn Booten
Keeps on a. tooten,
His masters voice keeps up din;
| On the vBoggin he isNscootin'
AT the bottom he'll be shootin'
When the election returns come in
They think they are witty
But they'll never get the city
The republicans are up againsta snag
They are batting at a phantom
And floping like bantam,
But the radicals will never, react
the bag.
The twenty thousand thalers
| That the county thieves and scaler:
Have looted at the county seat o
Justice {?p'
Is all they'll ever gobble
For we're putin on the hobble
And the renegades will never ge,
to bust us.
The forty thousand dollars
Is the cause of all their hollers
And it makes their Voice whoot ant
fairly peal it,
But their yelpin's all in vain
They'd better strike another strain
For the renegades will never get te
steal it.
They are yelpin for water,
For of course its gettin hotter,
And they feel the fires of hades a
scorchin'
For they'll never save the county
Without this extra bounty
And besides 'twould be handsome
little fortune
Their loot machines workin'
And their bosses are quirkin'
To get their dirty fingers in this pie,
But the honest men are watchin'
And the people are scotchin'
And their theivin schemes are
destined here to die.
Fred S fairly decent teller,
But his comrades makes us heller
And his bosses, O Lord. who are they
They are robin State and County,
But the towns not in their bounty
But there grabin at it every night
and day.
Will the people be so crazy,
Will their judgdment be so hazy, X
AS to give these crooks so large slice
Of graft
In addition to their pillage,
Well not add our little village
Nor entrust its exchequer to their
- craft.
Our ticket is dandy.
Our boys are the candy.
And the voters will never turn 'em
down,
For gang of little heelers
Who are supple jacks and feelers
For the gang that's is tryin' to
steal the town.
They can call off little Booten
And stophis silly hootin'
Andlet the decent people take nap
They'll not deceive the voters
Nor install their pistol toters
III this man S town, that's snap.

PROMISES.

The Proxy Ticket" is trying
to sail into office in Williamson
under the headwind of it's own
promises. 1t is filing the col
umns Of the Voice and burden
ing the mails with promises, APP
peals and pledges to the people
of Williamson if they will only
once more give them a strangle
hold upon the City's public Of
4 fees, and permit them to dis
burse its moneys. "Vainly is
the trap set in the sight Of any
Bird The people of William
son demand more that specious
promises. There is nothing
easier than to make d promise, !
unless it is to break it. A prom
Use to be of any value, or to carry
any weight, must be backed up
h by record of past achievements,
or have back Of it men whose
character is such that their
pledges and promises can be
taken at face value. The only
record that the Republican
ticket. offers in support of its
highflown resolutions is broken
promises, forgotten pledges are
disregarded appeals. Its candi-
dates offer no guaranty to the
people of Williamson that any Of
these pledges, promises or APP
peals will be thought of or. con-
sidered when they are once safe
ly ensconsed in office.
It is so we'll known that it has
almost become a maxim in poll
tics, that highflown resolutions,
pledges, promises and appeals
are merely the bait to ensnare
the unwary and inexperienced,
and not for the purpose or with
the intention of ever being car
RED out. They are the vehicle
upon which those who have no.
other claim to the respect and
consideration of the people, hope
to ride in their race for Office and
political retirement.
Bearing this in mind, the Dem
ocratlc party has presented to
the people of Williamson, as its
candidates for public Office, men
whose record, character and
achievements are alone sufficient
to guarantee to the City of Will
hanson, a sane, progressive, wise
and economical administration
of its governmental affairs. In
further support of its candidates,
it vouches to the people of Will
4 hanson it's record in the pastS
and is willing to stand or fall
upon that record, as it may be
the pleasure of the people to en-
dorse or condemn it.
The people of Williamson have
the choice of placing in charge of
their governmental affairs the
candidates of the Republican
party, composed mostly of a
crowd of untried and inexperi-
enced boys backed by their vol
luminous pledges, promises and
appeals, and the candidates of
the Democratic party, men who
have been, and are foremost in
the progress and prosperity of
the City, who have carved our for
themselves success in their own
business, and who need not make
any promises to assure the peo-
pie of Williamson that the inter-
ests of the City will be wisely and
carefully served in their hands.
There can ,hardly be substan-
tial difference of opinion as to
what course the people will pur-
sue in making this choice. They
will judge the future by the past,
and will act upon that Judgment.

We give Editor Booton due
notice that the people of William
son will crack his nuts" for him
on the 9th day of April, 1911.
The people of Williamson can
not be deceived by slurs and
inuendoes. If one cent of the
public money of Williamson has
been Incorporated and extra
vagantly expended, editor Booton
should point it out or shut up.
Any man endowed by an, all
wise Providence with sufficient
intelligence to find the correct
total of two and two, can take the
financial statement of the City of
Williamson and find where every
cent of the money came from, and
where it went.
If the Republican ticket were
a full rugged sailing ship, it might
be blown safely into port by the
wi d created by our friend
Booton, but being only a small
size jack-boat, the breeze that he
starts will only serve to watt it
gently up salt river.
