is for the legislature to adjourn soon

+
In the midst of all this talk about
efficiency the mail service in these
United States is about as bad as it
can get.
+
We can remember when wood sold
by the cord and not by the load
which is a?ah?rather questionable
part of a cord. i
+
Just what the general assembly is
going to do no one can foretell but
it is a safe bet that it will leave
many things undone.
So long as it sells for eight dollars
a quart national prohibition has
no terror for the average South
Carolina newspaper man.
*
The only difference in agriculture
here and in Virginia is that in Virginia
there are farmers while in
South Carolina there are landowner.
+
Money is so plentiful in this land
of ours that the disappearance of
$50,000 from a mail pouch recently
created but a mild ripple of excitement.
Of course the object is to save
meat. There's no argument about
that. But there's also a profit in the
meatless days at big hotels. Who
gets It?
THE L
TO SAVE FUEL. j
The schools and colleges might
provide a way ot saving much fuel
by remaining closed for the month of _
January, and another month If found
necessary. Of course, it is to be assumed
that a movement to that effect
would be strongly resisted, yet
the time easily could be made up at
the end of the session and at a time
when fuel is unnecessary. The
schools and colleges are very heavy
consumers of coal and wood. Without
figures as to the amount used in
tiouth Carolina, The News is unable
to determine how much the saving
I
of fuel would be, and though thp|
closing of a school here and there |
would amount to little, if all of them
were to close for a month, it is needless
to say that the saving would be
tremendous, r.nd while we would expect
nothing less than resistance on
the part of school authorities, it i
might mean the solution of the very
serious question of providing necessary
fuel for operation of commercial
plants where many employes j
?et their daily bread and for heating
homes.
Another plan of conservation of
uel not inconsistent with that of
[ losing the schools has been suggested
by which the churches would
:onfine their services to the morning
>r unite in each town as far as
lousing capacity will premit in unon
services. In both of these cases
he saving of fuel would be great.
THE GOING OF THE PASS.
We fancy through government j .
tperation of the railroads that more | V /\
leople than ever will soon be paying
heir fares on passenger trains. No ti-'N 1
n format ion has been sent out to that
ffect. but it would annear that the

ROAD TO SUCCESS LIES
THROUGH ADVERTISING
Bradstreet's says that "84 per
cent of all failures are among nonadvertisers!"
"Which, considering the source of
the declaration, is pretty conclusive
proof that advertising pays.
When Bradstreot's says that only
16 per cent of business failures are
among advertisers the statement has
real significance.
No business firm ever became
truly great except by the aid of advertising!
,
Like competition, advertising is
the "life of trade." Without it, in
modern days and under modern
business conditions, no commercial
or other business concern can
achieve the success that it can with
it.
That is axiomatic, us every successful
business man will atte-t.
Outside possibly of personality
and integrity advertising is the
mightiest force, positive and potent,
in present day commerce and business.?Atlanta
