Learn 10 Shop f;nrly

Several Broad Street merchants b,vo
set afoot a movement TO close all
broad street stores at O'clock in the.
afternoon for Ave days OF the week
until 10 O'Clock. The movement has
been started In the interest of m.
clerks and all the other store en-
ployes, on whom the long summer
days and the frequently intense heat
nave a depressing effect. 1t remains
chleHy to educate the public to do It's
shopping during five days of the week
before o'clock, and the usual ample
time for the working classes who have
not leisure to do their buying on other
days. is left in the longer hours of
Saturday night. Though there has
been no canvass of the larger stores,
II is generally believed that the move
ment will meet with sympathy. all the
more If il receives sympathetic sup
port from the public.
shorter hours are observed in most
OF tho larger cities. and in them the
people have been so educated to the
change that there is no loss of bust
ness. and. as Il result of the shorter
working time. shop employees go about
their business with more cheerful
alacrity and lose far less time on ac-
count OF summer illness.
Simon Sycle. Dabney Brothers G.
Company. Woodall II Quarles and D.
.'A't AZ W. are tile nrmS who have
started the shorter hour movement
ana they promise to close at 4 O'Clock
Tor hNe days Of the week If the ma
jority OF other stores will agree. They
say that the clerks would appreciate
ten hours rest rather than three, and
that they can best serve the interests
Of their patrons and their own. and
give more pleasure to their clerks by
closing at o'clock during the first
five days OF the week and keeping
open. as heretofore. until 10 o'clock
on Saturday nights. Among all the
shop employees the lesscning of the
working hours in summer will be cX-
cccdingly welcome, and they will ap-
preclatc ii by better service for the
public.

SELECTED Br:CArSE or

The State Fair Grounds was select
ed by the State Military Board for

viously been selected az q nobilizn-
ton centre in the event that President
Wilson issued a call for troops. and be
cause all the equipment had already
been shipped hero for the emergency.
There is possibility that the
campincnt may be but the beginning
OF mobilization. which would explain
the anxiety shown by the military
board TO have the camp located near
Richmond. There s said TO be but
little hope now that mediation Will
result in anything more than delay of
