It seems to be difficult to get oul
subscribers to understand that when
they want their Times sent to some
other address. they should notify US
not only where they want 1t sent but
also say from what posto6ica they wish
the change made. To run over 1000
names to look for name is somewhat
of a Job, but il the person will say

There has been much ado made over
the fact that tie enrolment has turned
out to be greater than tho vote OF two
wears ago, bst we account for this oy
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
ments thev would not comply, but
when they realized what it meant to
them it aroused their resentment and
they 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 vote, we
therefore urge every voter to DO his
duty by going out on the 25.h list.
and vote for the candidate Of his
choice.
The New Idea Co., Morris Ness man.

from what be tells US it is to be a
record breaker. MIR. Ness keeps up
with the European situation, and he is
Of the opinion that Auch 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 merchan-
disc on the market at such enticing
prices as will make the people feel
that It is to their interests to lay IN
their supplies OF dry goods, shoes,
clothing 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 a
trade stirrer, because he believes 10

ises. He has a big stock, and 1t IS
composed of new, fresh and up-to-date
goods.
The tobacco warehousemer 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 by 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 warehousemeo
are not in the business for today alone,
they are permanent citizens. and IN
terested in the town and county's wei
fare, they are here to stay; therefore,
when such warehouse,uen as Cothran
& Moore, and r. D. Clark urge their
patrons to pack their product and wait
for better prices we all must corcede
their unselfish spirit. The Central
IS open for the accommodation OF its
customers who will sell their tobacco
regardless OF the conditions, and Goth
ran & Moore are doing all in their
power to secure orders in order that
fair prices will prevail. The same can
be said of r. y, 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
buvers who are taking what is coming
in at prices in advance of the listed
quotations, with the hope that when
the war cloud is dissipated there will
come 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 assure them of the best Of treat
ment. They are net of the hy-by-nigh'
kind, but they are here with US always
and it is to their interests to build ur
this market and make it second TO none
