Good Advertising
Is News.

Manufacturers, merchants,
and others who use the adver-
tising columns Of THE GATE
CITY no longer regard their
expenditures in the light OF ex.
pense, but of investment.
Now that advertising is being
purged of exaggeration and un-
truth, the reading public, espe-
cially that large circle of
GATE CITY readers who re-
ceive the paper at their homes
or carefully carry it home with
them each day, take as much
interest in the advertisements
as they do In the news.
After all, GATE CITY adver-
tising is news of the most in
teresting, instructive and pro-
fitable kind.
And if it is good investment
for the advertiser to place his
news before you constantly 1T
is equally profitable for our
readers to read attentively the
valuable information thus i'm
parted.

and Company, liquor dealers, on the
stand to testify, he (Sullivan) had
affidavits that he would use to put
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara out of
office.
Coan's appearance on the stand
was a surprise.
II met Sullivan in the Leland ho-
tel Coan said, "and he told me the
committee had better stay away from
Springfield. If they don't stay away,
I'll produce affidavits that will put
the commission out of business and
the state will be without lieutenant
governor That's what Sullivan told
me- Coan continued.
Sullivan added, according to Coan,
that his objection to the investigation
here was that Davis, Ensel and Com
Ipany, Springfield liquor dealers. had

Go tell the members of the vice
committee that If they summon any
one in Springfield beside the Inter.

Sullivan.
The witness also said that Sullivan
threatened to take a number of deputy
sheriffs with him and go to the ses-
sion OF the committee to prevent the
holding of an investigation.
Later Sullivan withdrew this
threat" Coan said. He said the
Legislature was only in session for a
short time and that if the commission
continued its Investigations after the
senate adjourned he would have all
the commissions members indicted =
Coan further said that Sullivan ex
planned in the hotel that Ensel, of the
| firm mentioned used to be an alder
man here and that he (Sullivan) was
not going to see him dragged into the
mire.

during the investigation here but that
he was not placed on the stand.
