Have You Hauled Down Your Flag

Under caption similar to the
above The Item finds an editorial in
the Augusta, Ga, Chronicle which is
OF interest to advertisers and the
public generally. AS the Chronicle
is one of the solidest. most conserva-
tive and most successful newspapers
in the South, the Item herewith re-
produces its views in order that local
business men may sec them. Here is
what the Chronicle has to say:
This is September frst-the begin
ming of fall.
With the advent Of the first fall
month, begins the rush Of cotton to
market. and the consequent quicken
ing of the trade pulse here in the
South.
But this year Is different from al
most any other year that most of us
here in the South have experienced
Europe is at war. And the South's
cotton has suddenly deprecated in
price as u result.
Just how long this situation is to
last. no man knows. But there are
some things about the situation that
we do know, and one of these is tha:
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1914-09-16

none Of us can afford to help make u
bad matter worse.
The Chronicle has not been dispOscd
to minimize The situaticn; from the
very outset, as everyone knows, We
have dealt in perfect frankncss with
the public.
We nave refused to indulge i'm Who'll
ly insincore ana utterly selfish appeals,
to the imagination and crcdulitv of
our readers; particularly those who
have something to sell, and therefore,
something to advertise.
we haven't dealt in hot air" pre-
dictions Of the greatest fall trade en-
record" or anything Of that sort: be-
cause we feel and know that if thCre
ever was time when the public. and
especially the business people. had .

dealing from the press it is at a time
Ike this. Otherwise, many NAV he

or because they have been deliber-
ately misnformed.
The Chronicle, for one. does NOT
want to bolstcr-up its own business TO
the injury Of others; therefore. it cam
not do and say the things that some
newspapers have been guilty of in Or
der to create business'-for itself
But there are something's we can
say about the present situation, as 1t
applies to almost every line of busi-
ness--there are a few exceptions,
maybe for the time bein,g-which we
think may prove helpful all around.
One OF these was stated above-don't
help to make a bad matter worse.
In other words, put your best foot
forward. If possible, stir up a little
more energy.
Don't be downcast, or disheartened.
Nothing was ever gained that way.
AS someone has well expressed it,
ueScrteTS never Wln.'
This is the time Of all times to try
little harder than ever before. When
your boat is going against the current
you pull little stronger on the oars,
don't you.
Above all things, broaden your bus

Along this same line, we find some
mighty good advice to merchants and
business people generally in so prac-
ucal. yet thoroughly progressive, q

age. Read some Of these business pro
verbs; they will do you good, and
may serve to cheer you up q bit, il
YOU need it:
These are days when men are men.
The craven hearted are sulking and
falling back--they are finding excuses
for going to the rear-they have no
stomach for fight-they are licked.
The real men Of America are going
about their affairs-they have given
up their vacations, they are on the
firing line of big business, and their
courage and patriotism are in evil
dence every lpour of the day
They are not lying down--they are
standing up and they will maintain
and improve our place in the sun of
commerce and industry.
The way to locate the real men Of
business these days is to listen to
their talk and to see how they act.
The real men of business have not
PULLED down the flag-they have not
quit advertising-they have not called
in their salesmen-they have not lock-
ed the factory door.
Yes, they have in many instances
pulled their belt straps a little tight
err They have perhaps curtailed a bit
here and there as they modified their
working forces and rescrves-and
gained greater efficiency thereby.
But haul down the flag and lie
down! Never!
This publication is ready to aid ev-
cry real merchant ar1 manufacturer
who nails his flag to the mast OF
progress and patriotism.
The advertisers in this and every is
sue OF this publication arc flying their
flags.

facturer Of tOday-tOmorroW-

When the advertising flag lisap-

tomorrow.
Yesterday is history.

.L|TERACY TEST TO
REMAIN IN THE BILL

WASHINGTON, March ll.-Nhether
the literacy test shall be retained in the
Burnett immigratio bill by the senate
committee is TO be determined tomor-
row. when it is planned to complete con-
sideration of the measure for submis.
sion TO the senate.
Predictions were made by several
members of the committee tonight that
the literacy test as it passed the house,
would be retained despite doubt as TO
the reception it might receive at the
White house,
President Wilson has had no hcsi-
fancy in telling senators who sought his
opinion that he does not favor the llr-
eracv test as a means Of restricting I'M
migration. These senators, however, arc
in doubt as TO whether the president
would veto n bill containing such a
provision and apparently majority OF
the committee propose to vote Tor the
literacy test regardless Of the prospect
of veto
It was suggested tonight, however,
that so much opposition might develop
in tho senate that substitute restrictive
features might be agreed upon before
the bill reaches President Wilson. Sen
ators Sheppard of Texas and Gore of
Oklahoma. members of the immigration
committee, talked with the president
about the bill today. Senator Sheppard
said he believed the bill would be re-
ported substantially in its present shape,
including the lteracy provision. Sen.
ator Gore said be had heard of no poll
of the committee, but he had not learned
OF ANYTHING to lead him to believe the
litcracy provision would be eliminated
