4 BUSINESS BUILT UP.
A True Want Ad StOrieite.

Two business men who had been
selling automobile supplies decided to
join forces.
Il was three years ago that they
decided "in union there was
strength" So the firm OF b. & G..
was established and for the first year
the business developed slowly and
surely.
Neither man had had any expert
ence in advertising. They both felt
that if they were better known their
business would increase and yet
neither felt he could spare a large
advertising appropriation.
They wanted to attract the out-of-
town customers.
They discussed this matter many
times, ard finally one of them sug-
gested that they use the Want Ad
columns as a medium for advertising
So two years ago their first an
nouncement appeared.
There we're several brief liners
scattered through the Want Ads
They followed this policy of adver
tising for a year In a month from

MEDICAL INSPECTION

Whereved medical inspection In
public schools has been tried. IL has
been proved Of the greatest benefit to
the poor. Frank Evans, superinten-
dent OF the city schools OF Spartan
burg declares that the only objection
expressed comes from Christian
scientists who do not believe In any
kind OF medicine.
Mir. Evans has had regular blanks
printed. and any person reading
these would see that the parental au-
thority ia In no way disturbed. There
is nothing In these measures to Jar
the sensibilities OF the most refined
Had there been, the people OF Spar
tanburg would have resented It. Most
OF the objection to the proposition
comes from those who are not even
patrons OF the public schools.
The Legislature selected this sum-
mer should be committed to pass q
bill OF this kind. 1t will be one of
great benefit to the poorer people.
We cannot understand why any one
| should oppose 1t in the face of such
arguments and facts as have been nut
up to support It's need.
Medical inspection Of school chill
dren Is nothing more nor less than
the states providing that supervision
by trained physicians for all chill
dren which only the children of rich
parents can now afford and providing
for the protection Of the healthy child
from the diseased.
| We often hear about the states
right In this matter. and the parents
right, without consideration OF the
chtld's rights when his are most to be
considered. He has right to ex-
pect the state to prepare him to as
sume the obligations Of citizenship
and thoughtless. or needless parents
should not be allowed to deprive him
of this right. 1t is the child which
has the right, while the state has the
obligation.

COURTESY TO TIE PUBLIC

To impress. upon every individual
connected with the Company the i'm
portance Of politeness and courtesy
in dealing with the public, President
Harrison. OF the Southern Railway
Company. is sending every officer and
employe circular letter stating that
this is primary rule of the manage
ment and asking It's careful obser-
vance.
With the men iQf the Southern Rail-
way In this section. such rule is un-
necessary. They are already atten-
tive to the needs Of the public and
careful to show every attention pos
sible. This is the case with all pub
lie service corporations that we know
of, and the higher, the man In the ser

STOP MUD SINGING

We venture to express the opinion
that Mr.. Pollock OF cheraW is going
entirely too far In his campaign. We
have known Mr.. Pollock for 20 years
and we know him to be man of
ability, but this is no way to prove
it. II" is playing entirely too rough.
We do not see wherein consists the
fun Of his making u caricature Of a
yegg leaving the governors Office in
the Ytate capitol disguised in the
governors clothes. The governor
was absent when the picture was
painted. lie has always proved him
self able to take care of such mat
tcrs and no doubt he will do 80 at
the suitable time.
We wish to record our protest
against injecting such stun into the
campaign. II Mr. Pollock is merely
painting a picture in superstition, we
feel that he Is using bad taste. If
he Is In earnest, then we gay that the
campaign stump Is not the place for
such revelations. He makes charges
by Inference that Tie governor con-
nived at this criminals escape from
the United States court officers. If
there be any foundation for this, the
United States court would be the
proper place to air It.
We add again. our protest. and beg
to remind the candidates that there

ging In slander or derogatory state

proper manner.
