THURSDAY, AUGUST 30TH, 1»2.T After reading the wails that have emanated from the leaders of the de feated fraction in Charleston’s re cent election, we gather that Gov. McLeod acted “militiasly” in sending troops to the city !>y the sea. Is it accident or design that has carried "The Birth of a Nation", in which the Ku Klux Klan playx/an im portant role, to Charleston this week, so close upon the 'heefs of the recent election in which th*e present day Klen was featured? Mayor Grace says that the "little man” won in the recent Charleston Municipal primary election. Inai- murh as his majority was some 1^00 vote out of about 14.000 hallots cast, we shudder to think of what would have probably happened to the Mayor if a real large man had been his op- (oarnt TW PeepU does ao I I the fkate Highway CeOBi cAsaeM mt the kswaa al the f>* h»ar t 4>e laae Ke*i• a> that High.

The manufacturers of that popular, car have received more free advertising than any other concern in the United States. It would seem that to further advertise it would be useless, and yet the announcement was made a few days ago hat Henry Ford is going to spend $7,000,000 during the coming year oiunewspaper advertising alone. We wish that every "wise guy” who doesn’t believe in advertising would read that an nouncement. “Pearline” at one time was one of the best known washing powders on the market.

It was the fourth round. And it looked un commonly like a knockout for Mike. lie heard the cries of derision come from the throats of the spectators an he reeled around the ring, evading Terry’s terrible punches. He hud been taken on at the lust moment, Terry’s opponent having failed to materialize. Uh, and he could have licked Terry to a frazzle. He had not those months for nothing. He knew that within himself there lay the pow er to knock out his adversary, to leap at one bound Into affluence and celeb rity. To knock out Terry meant fume, and more money than Mike had ever had In Ida life. It was the op portunity of hla life. At home his wife lay sick, more from hunger than fever. That was at the bottom of It alL She had gone , hungry that Mike might keep in con- t again, ditlon, waiting for the chance that had now come to him.

Terry Huniphries-McSw eeney. The Local Merchant and Advertising.
