We have made it a rule to not give out any copies of The Times before they are put in the postoffice. We make this mention so that those who have been making it a practice of get ting the paper before it is mailed, will understand it if they are turned down. This is an old rule of all regulated newspapers, and we propose to adhere to it in the future. Feast and your friends are many; fast and they cut you dead; they'll not get mad if you treat them bad, so long as their stomachs are fed. Steal if you get a million, for then you can furnish bail; it's the great big thief who gets out on leave, while the little ones get to jail. Advertise and the dollars come to you, quit and they fail to come in, for what care the men who have money to spend, for the nen who don't care to see them. Just at this time the mail order houses are active in flooding the coun try with big, handsomely gotten up catalogues, quoting attractive prices on staple articles and making all sorts of big sounding claims for your cash. They do not offer -to exchange their goods for the farmer's eggs, poultry, butter or other produce. Tbey don't trust a penny's worth. but make you pay cash before you get the goods and the freight besides. If anything is wrong with the goods or they do not suit you, they will not exchange them. They pay no taxes into your city or county treasury, with which our schools are maintained, roads. bridgzes and sidewalks built. They do not con tribute to our churches, charitable in .TRONS ANI] that we ann ve had befor .pped than e and "will se: a handsome the city. Cle -ictly to thisi Pure everything i exclusive die veryone guax SSeeds of plant Turnij ur new estab lern busines: Dickson's Dr s treatment The town put the "lid" on coca cola good and strong last Sunday and those whose palates called for "cold dope' every Sunday could only be quenched with water. In the afternoon some fellow placed on the front of the pos1 office the following notice, with a piece of crepe around it. "The relatives and friends of Col. Cold Sunday Dope: who came to his sudden and untimely end at 7:30 this a.tm., are respectfully invited to attend funeral services to b held at 12 o'clock to night." A wisely conducted newspaper is like a banquet, says an exchange. Everything is served up with a view to variety. Help yurself to what you want and do not condemn the entire spread because pickles and onions may be included. If you do not relish them somebody else may find them palatable. Be generous and broad enough to select gracefully such read ing matter from newspapers as will be agreeble to your mental taste, You, as an individual, are not compelled to swallow everything. We do not all think aliite on every subject and it is a ood tbing, as it makes more variety, and variety is the spice of existence. The half page advertisement of Tbe Eome Bank and Trust Company in this issue of The Times furnishes some re iable and interesting information for the tobacco growers. It shows from rhe official report of E. J Watts, comn missioner of commerce etc., that out of .4 tobacco markets in the State in 1914 Manning was in the lead as to prices. rhe average price paid for tobacco in L915 in the entire State was $4.31 per bundred, some markets running as low as $3.30, while the average price paid by the Manning market was $5 42. rhe Home Bank and Trust Company has always shown a lively interest in he welfare of the tobacao p:-oducer, as well as the farming interests gener ally. This reliable bank is solictong your business, and deserves your con ideration. Hon. Charlton DurRant, tate Senator-elec:, is President, and Mr. T. Mitch Wells is cashier. These :ourteous gentlemen are two well known to the public to need further sommendation. We ask our readers o caref uliy read the advertisement of rhe Home Bank and Trust Company. As an example of good business methods and vim and determination, Dickson's Drug Store deserves special notice. On the 7th of May this reliable Irug concern was demolished by the torm. Although the building was a mass of ruin, and the stock of goods lmost utterly destroyed, they moved into temporary quarters until they could rebuild. They have now moyed back into their handsome and well equipped new building, and the place is one of the most convenient and up to date, as well as one of the most re iable drug stores in every particular to be found in the State. The honest and reliable business, with courteous men to run it~al ways commands a good patronage, and this is what Dickson's Drug Store merits and receives. Dr. Dickson is the sole proprietor, and lie always has competent and reliable and ourteus men to serve the public. We invite our readers to examine the ivert isement of this reliable house in Ghis issue, and remember that when e~ver anything to be found in a well rdered drug store is wanted, they tave it.
