CLIN’TON, S. C.’
IT’S HARD TO HATE A MAN
IF YOU KNOW HIM
In a city of our size everybody knows nearly every
body else. Friendship and goodwill prevail in most cases,
and are a great civic asset. One unkind remark may cre
ate a fedling which not only hurts individuals, but dam
ages the town.
I
This is no maw'kish appeal to smother legitimate criti
cism. Sometime? it is necessary to speak out sharply in
order to right a wrong. But rm one should ever speak
critically of another on hearsay or by reason of preju-
dice_^ ^
If you have an unfriendly feeling about someone, we
suggest you pay him a visit. Get acquainted with him.
If the matter troubling you is important, tell him about
it frankly and iron it out between you.
Above all, if you hear an unkind or dangerous state
ment about a man or a firm, challenge the maker of it.
Ask him where he got his facts, and whether he knows
they ARE facts. Take occasion to check up his state
ments, and if they are not true, take the trouble to set
him right.
•Abqye all, get acquainted with your neighbor
might like him. He might even like you!
