Second grade prod ucts can be made to look very hand some in a catalog cut, But the home merchant can not float that kind of goods. They come hack to his store too easily. It is amusing to see the bother people will take for trilling suiii.s they think they ure saving: The wjll travel many miles, spend Btroet car fares, pay for luncheons, hotel bills, and tips. T.hey got tired and foot sore, trnmpin,; around overgrown stores separated by long distances. They wait for change tarry bundles, and pay express. They pay a high price in money and energy for sup posed economies. When yon buy goods away from home you rarely take thorn back. They bother and eqpense looks pro hibitive. When you buy at home you would return thsm if dissatisfied, year nli-o reclamation of low lands by intelligent drainage will be pushed. But the -programe for 15)14 Is too full of hte practical things that can be done, ought to be done, and must be done If the maxium of result is to be otbalned, for mo to undertake to dc inil It here. One thine Is certn'n, we ."tall endeavor to let intelligence!, and huslness methods direct our efforts in the light of changing economic con ditions, looking ever to attaining that maxium dogreo of development; which in the end Is in?vitable when we take 'nto consideration the natural richness if the- ml) and'the other advantages otiditious.

This takes the time of clerks, fre quently the goods huve been injured wiille in your hands. Where It is soeasy to return frnod?. the customer muBt be given both the worth of his money, and* something suited to his needs. A higher grado of salespeople Is thus required in the heme store. To make a sale that wiii sticK hi near hon.e, the customer must be gl\ca tutelllftent advt?u. Thus the. public demanda from the home .store, more competent service than It exacts from the distant mer chant. This means additional ex pense, which is counterbalanced by lower rents and like economics. W*jcn you consider hew generously the homo store responds to all kinds of demands, reasonable und unreas onable, the range of ita prloo Is re uplrkahly low. ' .

IIIIKV I Ball EEOS TRAINS MR. Si i) : - Y COMMENDS AN EDITORIAL JN THE IN TELLIGENCER states condition And Shows How This Whole Sec tion Could Be Brought Closer Together Editor The Daily Intelligencer: I read with a great ii?al of inter? est the editorial in lurt Tuesday's issue heudud "Give i:s More Trains", i think taix Issue is verj timely and of a great deal of importance. Tiiere is probably no other town of its size along the lines of the Southern rail road could Bay "Give us more trains'' With the facts to justify the appeal better than the town of Westminster. We are in a poculiur situation at this place. \As the old saying Is "So near, yet so far." There is a gap bl about 30 miles lying between Seneca and Tim coa', (ia., thai Is clearly due better pas senger service from t'"" Southern and Westminster is in the "(Ja:?" un fortunately for us. From iCoccoa, Qa.? the Southern operates a local daily passenger train to Atlanta and return known as "The ilell" and from Seneca, S. C, they also operate a lo cal daily pascnger train north to Charlotte known as No. 42 and No. 31. The citizens of our town have had this matter up with the Southern railroad a number of times. Last year our hoard of trade sent in a strong petition, backed by all the business men and citizens cf Cae town, asking the Southern to make Westminster the terminus of trains Nos. 42 and 41, but we have not re ceived any consideration from the request at all. TItc extra distance is only nine miles and our hoard of trade made an offer to procuro the necessary right of way for tho "Y" as an inducement. If this extension could bo had we could make c?^a ncctlon at Seneca with tho BIuq l?fdge for Anderson nnd Columbia besides the service of the local train north to Greenville; Sparhmburg and Charlotte. As our connections are at present we cannot make a single con nection nt Sehoofl foe A?d<t-r?cn. Ii. tUkos a full 2i Invert; to get lci\ Anderson and return.
