' Tuesday August 2nd was Dollar Bar. gain Day in Cheraw and while the - ' season is far advanced with money very scarce the merchants advertising special prices did a good business and were well pleased with the venture. If ?# ?kn ^ Mr. v\TTl. nuuiinuii, maiiiigei ui iuc ? New Store savs "My sales werfe much more than I expected at this time of the year. We were busy all day and gave our customers some bargains that will bring us .more business. I am satisfied that it pays to advertise in the Chronicle. I ' 1 ' ? Mr. L. M. Evans said, "we were busier than we have been any day since Christmas. We could have sold more goods if some of our help had not been out on holiday. I am well pleased with the davs business. Mr. Ray, Mgr. of Horton's Cash Store, said, "we had a good days business and are well pleased. ; Messrs. J. D. and G. M.

Just exactly what this recurring phrase means Is difficult to state." says a statement just issued by the National City Bank of*New * York. "It might' be descriptive of any of a dozen psychological changes that could enter into the situation. If it means that people generally have ' thrown industry out of balance, and to appreciate the things that must be corrected before conditions come into leQuilibrium again, then we should I Bay that the reported better feeling BA constituted an important advance to -^ ward normalcy. If, however, the * better feeling means simply that people are merely smiling and waiting more patiently, rather than setting themselves seriously to the task of I wage and price reductions and other readjustments that are necessary, then we fear thai it signifies but little. "There is fresh evidence constantly that the readjustments are taking place. They are slow, but it takes time for a knowledge of conditions to reach all classes and divisions of nnnni?rinn and for them to make * up their minds to give the cooperation that is necessary to bring industry back into balance. Meanwhile, it 'will aid in the cultivation of patience * to realize that conditions are by no means so bad as they might be, and that considering all the circumstances the volume of business is really surprisingly large. *The fundamental difficulty upon which a revival of business waits is still the inequality of values as be. * tween the various classes of goods and services. The normal basis of trade between people in different industries has been disturbed, and it I* is only by the pressure of painful experience that the old relations are * restored. Xiss Eleanor J. Godfrey Dead. The whole community was saddened on Tuesday morning when it became known that Miss Eleanor Josephine Godfrey had passed away at 4:35 A. M. The end.was not unexpected as Miss Godfrey had been suffering for months with an incurable malady Brights Disease, i She was born near Cheraw August t 1, 1879 and passed her 42nd birthday the day before her death. SJie was the daughter of S. G. and H. E. Godfrey both having preceeded her to the Great Beyond. Her brothers and sisters surviving her are Messrs Wm. and S. G. j Godfrey, Mrs. W. T. Thrower, Mrs. C. I W. Boyd and~Misses Claudia and Har rlett Godfrey. Miss Eleanor, as she was known and loved by the school children r Cheraw for the past 10 years and by a large circle of friends in this community. Her life was one of continuous service as she spent her years moulding the life and shaping the destiny of many a boy and girl. On her graduation from Winthrdp in 1899 she entered the noble profession of teaching and taught with marked success at Marshville, N. C.," Columbia City Schools, Camden Graded School and for about 10 years in Cheraw Graded Schools. She was a devoted member of St. David's Episcopal church, having joined early in life. Funeral i services were held in this church Tuesday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock, the > rector Rev. A. S. Thomas conducting the services. The following actqd as pall bearers: Hal Duvall, Ernest Duvall, Cornelius Wad dill, Herbert Wannamaker, Joe Raley and Louis Meiklejohn. A large number of friends and relatives attended the funeral. o ' Extract from Address of Sol Kohn, I'res. State Retail Clothiers. Advertise. I With new, well chosen and properly selected merchandise, marked with ! the lowest possible margin of profit 'in order to successfully continue busi iness, we are now ready to take up 1 the second important factor 'in get' ting new business?advertising. With the ever increasing cost of newspaper advertising, your first question will be. "13 advertising worth while?" It surely is. Ninety-five perj ' ceuf of our largest concerns are, .steady investors in advertising. Of, | course some advertising is more ef.J fective than other advertising, but , whafyou want is to get the most for i your money. What per cent of your sales should. i you appropriate to advertising? In' a recent survey of advertising as done1 by many clothiers, Hart, Schafner i Marx sent out a booklet in which the firm showed that the more you spend on advertising the less it costs you.l By that I mean that the increased business brought about by the increas. ed advertising always decreases the | per cent of appropriation. My advice to you. however, would be to spend in fadvertising from 4 per cent to 5 per cent of your previous season's business. This advertising will include newspaper advertising, direct advertising, and outdoor advertising. I I would advise an appropriation of not less than 60 per cent, of your total appropriation for newspaper advertising Let your message to the public be of-1 ten. Ft is not necessary to have a full page to carry this message. Even during special sales it is not necessary to use large ^pace. Have neatly arranged, well written ordinary size advertising. Be sure that it is well dressed typographically, and be generous with your use of white space. Have a clean ad, just as you have a clean store and merchandise. And say something in your advertisement. Let this message be a reflection of the personality of your store. Use simple English so that everybody can understand. Give a message that will impress the peo- | pie favorably to your store for its service and its merchandise. Be sure you don't knock any one in a similar line of business. Don't try to be funny. Don't sav things that will start an ar | " ** ?; gument. Don't make far reaching claims. Tel! your story in a pleasing manly fashion that will be understood and taken for face value by men who buy in your store. o NORMALCY IIKItK j Mr. J. R.

Washington, Aug. 1.?Cotton production this year was forecast today at 8,203,000 bales of 500 pounds gross! weight by the department of agricul- j ture, basing its estimate on the condi-i tion of the crop July 25, which was 64.7. per cent of a normal. The condition ly states follows: Virginia, 82; No"-:h Larrollna.7.*., South Carolina, (62; Georgia, 59; Florida, 60; Alabama, 58; Mississippi, 68; Louisiana, 59; Texas, 02; Arkansas, 76; Tenessee, 75; Missouri, 80; Oklahoma, PnlifnmlQ QQ* Ari7nnn fiH nil UO| V/UlilV/i UlUf VV I wv I other states 88. A crop of 8,433,000 bales was forecast from the condition on July 25, which was G9.2 per cent of a normal. The condition was 74.1 per cent on July 25 last year, 67.1 in 1919 and the ten year July 25 average is 75.4.' Last years crop was 13,365,754 bales, that of 1919 was 11,420,763 bales, in 1918 it was 12,040,532, in 1917 it was* 11,302,375 and in 1916 it was 11,449,-' 930. Washngton, Aug. 1.?The boll weevil playe(Lhavoc with the South's cotton crop during-July. Heavy rainfall aided in the destruction by promoting! rank growth of weeds and grass, and as a result a prospective production of 8,203,000 bales wa3 forecast today by the department of agriculture, basing its estimate on conditions existing July 25. That is a loss of 230,00' bales compared with the production forecast a month ago. The crop declined 4-5 points during the month, much more than the average decline, bringing the condition to 64.7 per cent of normal, the lowest July 25 condition on record with one exception, that of 1886, when it n J 1 was oi.i. Unpromising is the present condition of the crop "throughout most of the West and there is a very serious threat, the department experts says, of continued and increased damage from the boll weevil while grass and wfceds are exhausting much of the J crop that remains.
