Only two cities. Anderson and Com merce. Ca., have failed HO far to sub scribe the full amount of bonds as'.t ed for by the promoters of tho road. Of course these two will do their part all right, but the people of Anderson must realize that' this matter must bo closed up as quickly as possible and the 517.-..000 raised within the next few davs. At a un??.'.'big" held yesterday after noon, committees were appointed to make further canvass of the people of the eily to secure subscriptions, and when these gentlemen reach you. you will not be conferring a favor up on thom hy subscribing liberally, jut you will be doing not only yourself but the entire city and section a ser vice, the cliauci' of which may never onie again. TH K MDIIMMi l'A I'Kit Anent the discussion, or rather the pleasing reference that our esteemed conUniporurks. Thc Spartanburg Journal ur.d the Greenwood Journal, both, afternoon papers, are making to cacii other-of tho relative value of tho morning and evening papers tis an advertising medium-IJrother Gar dener, wc rear, takes himself entire ly too seriously. Ile seems to think that tho morning papcrB, and especial ly thc Sunday morning papers, while not only the best medium for n'lver tlslng purposes, go a stop further and heep people from church, and even Induce many tn neglect. In other ro FOCCUI, their re?gluu-i duties. Hear him: There have, long huon protests ? against tho Rund?v newspapers. 7.t is claimed that thov ure means J fer lemoning per?ons from church 1 end Induce tnuny V? neglect. In i ether- respacts. their religious du ! Hes. Thc afternoon dally papers have ' night on und Hier ure out IM relievo I beac conditions and nt Hie un mo tim? render a really more nfllelnnt servlee than thc Sunday dallies can. And then he quotes The Spurtnu burg Journal: ".Since Saturday ls the real big shopping day of thc we>!c. lt stands t"> reason that Friday af ternoon !.> tho"-lime to .'put your offerings before tho people. The Friday afternoon paper la read around the family fireside Friday night. The housewives road lt nnd plan their shopping on Satur I day. The head of thc hount- who receives hi? puy envelope? reads the ads before doing his shopping. The daughter of tho house looks over the dry good advertisements, I and plans her tdiopplng. j "Since tho great majority of tho people do their shopping on Sat urday, doesn't lt aland to reason that the host time to advertise would be on Friday ufternoon? Then the bargain offers aro frosh in vhelr minds." which ia no argument at all and which, ir the Doctor hadn't brt ught lt I up In this connection, we would not have mentioned. , Because, us every merchant knows, Saturday ls tho big shopping day of the week-and he would have good b'uninea? on Saturday If there wasn't any Friday afternoon papers. We .know, for we'vo tried it. Somo years ago, right here In Anderson, the larg est meridian-. In the city-and Inciden tally one who ?ponds more money for I newspaper advertising year In and j year out than any other mau in tho Piedmont-considered oerlously tho [thought of trimming down his adver tising upproprlation for the newspa pers! giving as' his reason that OB Saturdays ho always had more trade than he could wait u and that to of fer oxtra Inducements was simply to do his 'business an Injustice and to disappoint many- who might respond. Ho was induced it tah* a ehol at ?omo ??|er day early In tho weok.-7-a day thai Always, heretofore' had been tho dullest day tn the- week-whioh be did nnd has made a howling sue ces* ot it In tact, practically every merchant ip Anderson now offers spe cial inducements for the dull days in stead of Saturday. This is truer to a greater extent In tho larger cities than hore, and alone has forced the oven In g papers tn these pieces to ' get o?t a Sunday after noon edition in order io stay In the running. Ulmes tu carry thc hulk of thc adver tising and is looked forward to each morning with eagerness, .TKOI^GANOAEKIZING'' Thl? ?H the age of propaganda. It la in the air. lt penetrates every where, There Is no getting away trcm it. Von muy dodge it in one form, hut il will como ut you later in another guise. It's propaganda morn ing, noon and night. And "propugan dueriziiig" ls apparently about ull that a lot of people are doing. Wc have particular reference to the huge hatch of printed matter that i cachets ibis u III co in every mail, and 'Vu presume it reaches every other ?.ewspuper ollice lu thc laud as well, ll Is all "press stuff" and most of lt ls r??iidy for Instant use. It in free doesn't cost you a cent. There is ?'in,ugh of it in every mail to till ali lb'! columns ol' the average size news paper. Said propugnnda covers a multitude of subjects. Some of lt is ainu! the most brazen .-Huh a newspa per ever had offered it for free publi ru'.iun. Sinne of il !s cunning, pud if ?.on arc not mi thc alert might gel by you. To Iv specific, we have received per iodically sii.ee the agllulion for the establishment ol' government armor factories was begun huge bunches of .'tull from '^Bethlehem Steel." You may draw your own conclusions. And .vince the question Of "preparedness" ?faa p-ougut to thc front we have re ceived a ij/ale of stuff on the subject .f preparedness and two bales on thc suhjvit of nnti-preparcdness. You couldn't always tell at a glance who wa-, putting the stuff out. hut by scru tinizing it closely you urrlvcd at the conclusion Unit munitions factories were at thc bottom of thc "prepared ness" propaganda while the "pacifist" clement was fathering the "antl-pre paredntb:; dope." These arc but two Instances-:. There ure scores of subject:-, covered by ether of the aforesaid propaganda, lim thc funny part of lt Is how thc fol ;s who arc sending this junk broadcast over tho land to newspa pers expect to get nny returns from it. for we don't suppose there ls an c?itor anywhere who even bothers to ?.peu tho Mti>lT up and look at it when lt cern cs li:, but passes lt on to thc v.Ti lebacket where lt properly be longs. A pretty good rule to follow lu I mulling all Muff like this profcrrcd yoi ls to remember that it is "free." j Mint it' is offered you without cost, even thc postagn being paid, and i" faith, ^omc of lt is sent in "plate" farm und roady for lmificdhite uso. .Somebody ls paying thc cost of that Kiuff; and why should they ho pay ii ?j for something for you to use un it ss they expect to got some returns l>em it for themselves. Generally, there is a "joker" In all of lt. This is truly tho ngc of propaganda. It'la j In the air. Everybody's doing it. THU NATIONAL S?ABD LOBBY Certain prominent members of the National Guard seem to have carried their lobbying activity too far. They have labored earnestly at Washington In behalf of mensure-', bringing the r, na ni to greater strength und dlgnily; and that lu on the whole justifiable, although thc dictatorial tone assumed has been offensive to many senators ar.d representatives.. But In bitterly opposing a ?federal volunteer army, tho spokesman for thc National Guard hnve gone too far. Ev^n if t: is granted that they havo a perfect right to lobby directly In their own behalf, it ls plainly Im proper for them to Inform congress that they will not tolerate such a mil itary organization. They have really nothing to do with iL. And as a mat ter of favt the volunteer army reserve, it' It is created, will not interfere with the National Guard in any essential way. 11 LINE O'DOPE! j Weather Forecast-Pair Thursday and Friday. . \ 'if.?, ,. .. ^ . .
