Spartanburg Herald.
"The'Kings Daughters or some other charitable
order misses it by not having a contribution
box here," said the representative of a
great Insurance Company who was standing 1
In the lobby of the Merchants last night.
"How so?" I Inquired. V
"Why nearly all hotels have them, and
they make lols of money for benevolent as- t<
oclaUons too. When a drummer has made a
good trade and sold a big lot of goods he feels s
rich, and If he sees a contribution box he will
drop a quarter or a half in it for luck. You h
just mention the matter, and the charitable
order that takes the hint will not regret It." o
