KEEP OPEN OR CLOSE UP-lT'S IMMATER.
IAL TO US. ,
A

The above unsigned query was received by the
editor Of The Daily Commonwealth this morning,
and in reply to same we wish to state
M That it is absolutely immaterial to the
editor of this paper whether you close your place
Of business ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Day-or not.
(2) That the editor of this paper does not
consider it a lack of patriotism on your part II
YOU keep your place of business open on that day
nor do we consider the man who closes up on
that day any more patriotic than those who may
see fit to keep open house.
(3) The Daily Commonwealth will not close
its doors tomorrow, because w are in the business
Of furnishing the people of Greenwood and Lehore
county a daily newspaper every day except Sun
day-hence it would be absurd to think Of our
plant being closed on that day.
(4) The editor Of The Daily Commonwealth
wants everybody to distinctly understand that it
is none Of his business, nor does he care a CONT
mental, whether the business houses keep open or
close tomorrow. ef @ c-D-a'
