It seems to be difficult to get our
subscribers to understand that when
they want their Times sent TO some
other address. they should notify us
not only where they want it sent but
also say from what postofice they wish
the change made. To run over 1000
names to look for name is somewhat
of lob, but if the person will say
''chauge my Times from Manning to
Black Mountain, n. ;" then we can
tell at glance where to find the name
and it will insure promptness.
There has been much ado made over
the fact that the enrolment has turned
out to be greater than the vote OF two
wears ego, bst we account for this by
the extraordinary efforts made to get
the people to enroll to save their fran
chise. At first it was believed there
would be thousands who would be so
inconvenienced by the new require
men,s thev would not comply, but
when they realized what ii meant to
them it aroused their resentment and
.bey determined to enroll at any cost.
Now they have their names on the
books then the next matter OF import
ance is to urge them to turn out to the
polls, to enroll and then to not take
advantage OF the opportunity to. eNer-
else the right TO vote is about as bad
as not having the right to vo:e, we
therefore urge every voter to do ais
duty by going out on the 18th lnst..
and vote for the candidate OF his
choice.
The New Idea Co., Morris Ness man-
ager, has put on special sale, and
from what ne tells US it is TO be a
record breaker. Mr.. Ness keeps up
with the European SITUATION, and he is
of the opinion that tAuch of the alarm
now in business circles is altogether
artificial, and will not remain. The
conditions in America will be enhanc;;
ed, our people will get better prices
for their products, and because OF his
optimism he has gone forward to put
his large stock Of dependable rnerchan-
disc on the market at such enticing
prices as will make the people feel
tsat it is to their interests to lay IN
sir supplies OF dry goods, shoes,
c;oshing and notions, while prices are
within reach of those whom fortune
has not smiled upon. Ness does not
harass the trade with special sales,
but when be does put one on 1t is q
trade stirrer, because he believes IN
keeping close to his advertising prom
ises. He has q big stock, and it is
composed of new, fresh and up-to-date
goods.
The tobacco warehousemen OF Map
ming, with view of taking care OF the
interests of their patrons, have been
advising the growers Of tobacco not to
market their product while the pres
ent disturbed conditions exist. because
they realize that all commodities are
being hammered down ay the tighten.
ing of the money, and the closing OF
the marts of the world, especially
those which are now in or near the
war zone. Our local wsrehousemen
are not in the business for today alone,
thev are permanent citizens. and in-
terested in the town and county's well
fare, they are here to say; therefore,
when such warehouse,nen as Cothsan
g. Moore, and r. D. Clark urge their
patrons to pack their product and wait
for better prices we ali must concede
their unselfsh spirit. The Central"
is open for the accommodation OF its
customers who will sell their tobacco
regardless of the condiaio2s, and Goth
ran & Moore are doing ali in their
power to secure orders 10 order that
fair prices will prevail. The same can
be said of r. p. Clark. He too, IS
straining every nerve. TO help get
prices for those who will sell, and on
these two floors very good prices are
obtained. Both concerns are hustlers,
and both have string Of independent
buyers who are taking what is coming
in at prices in advance OF the listed
quotations, wish the hope that when
the war cloud is dissipated there will
come a profit to them they are taking
the chance. We urge our friends and
readers to bring what tobacco they
must sell to these concerns, and we
can aSSura them of the best OF treat
meut. Tie: are net of the ay-by-n night
kind, but they are here with US always
and it is 70 their interests to build up
this market and make it second TO none
- this part OF the State Bring your
tobac2o to :ianning when YOU will sell.
