A Way With The Crouch.

Did you ever go in a mans place
of business and have him sit still and
90 on with his work as though moth
ing had entered his presence: Or If
he mustered up enough courage to
look at you, did he do so as though
he would freeze you in your tracks
and make you want to apologize to
him for disturbing his majestic pres
ence? If you have, don't feel bad
about it. The trouble is not with
YOU, it is with the other man. One
reason why so many business men
fail IS because they havn't enough
politeness or courtesy about them to
make the customer feel that his busl-
ness is appreciated.
We have had people, both stran-
gers and people known to US, COM
plain about the cold receptions they
have had from certain of the busi-
ness men of our town. Now we
know that we do not have a man in
this town who really means to be i'm
polite or disrespectful in his treat
ment of customers or strangers. But
it may be that some one approached
such a man at time when something
about his business had gone wrong,
and he did not have control enough
about him to smile at the customer
orstranger, and treat him as though
he were welcome. 1t takes MAN
to hold pleasing face toward the
public all the time. But if we will
try to do so, we can soon develop
ourselves to the point where we can
do it without much effort. Look
around, and show US man who al
ways greets his customers and other
people with smile. and we will show
you a man who is a success in life as
far as his business is concerned. Peo-
pie are glad, yes, really anxious to
do business with man Of that cali
bre.
Courtesy is one of the spokes in
the business wheel of life. and with
out it business would be badly Grip
pied. Courtesy costs nothing, but
it may win you millions, as we'll as
an unnumbered host of friends.
Mr. Business Man of Kingstree and
Williamsburg county, there is no bet
ter way to boost our town and our
county than by being kind to every
body, strangers and old acquaintances
alike.

OPENING OF
TOBACCO MARKET
AT KINGSTREE-GREAT QUANTI-
TIES OF THE WEED SOLD AT
TOP.NOTCH PRICES.

The opening sale of leaf tobacco
was held today at the Central ware
house. Never was an event in the
towns history looked forward to
with greater anxiety than the open
ing of the tobacco season this year,
when farmers place their product on
the warehouse floors and realize some
much needed cash.
Tobacco has been coming into the
warehouses for the past ten days or
two weeks, but not till an early hour
this morning did the great influx oc-
cur. 1t poured in, and was still be-
ing unloaded when the first sale
started. Thousands of pounds had
to he put away for tomorrow's or
some subsequent sale. There was not
room for it on the warehouse floors
today.
The sales were largely attended
by others than those who had tobac-
co for sale, among the crowd being
number of ladies.
1t is roughly estimated that 25O.-
900 pounds were sold by the four
warehouses today. And the prices
we'll, we have never known the weed
to bring such figures before. 1t is a
happy day for Kingstree and the
people of old Williamsburg county,
and has exceeded in general inter-
est anything that has occurred here
in recent years unless it was the
sudden collapse Of the market in
1914 just after a propitious open.

paid today.
