I he Friendly Smile. In town boosting cheerfulness and cordiality have an important part. Too often .people permit husip^ss cari'H and worries to cause them to forget the stranger within the gates and the- friend who pause* by. Many t a man has gained a reputation for grouchiness who merely has not thought to be cordial. A smile car Hot one much farther than a frpwn. The visitor in a city is favorably im pressed if the people ht sees on thv Nvi-ts are cheerful and smiling. Ho at once gains the impression that it must bo a good town whicl) has a < ? ti> .'i t'u! people. The visitor naturally thinks that a city which offers welcome in so con spicuous a way means it. If thp peo ple he meets smile and are cheerful kfe at once realises that they sr? n people worth while and the town one worth looking overs The cordial greet ing, with an accompanying smile of welcome, helps more than anything else to give people a good impression of S place. The smile attracts and the frown repels, (irouchiness gains nothing for a person. Most people would prefer even the "Gheerf*! Idiot" to the "Chronic Grouch." HUDSON ESSEX CADILLAC CARS F V.

COLUMBIA SUPPLY COMPANY - 823 West Gervais St. Columbia, S. C. No town can grow as it should un less it* people work together in its upbuilding. The history of every city that has had rapid, and substantial; Srowth will show that united and en tusiusMo work of its people had the greatest part In making it grow. In towns where a few liye men boost and work the town's upbuilding and many art) indifferent and do nothing, the work of city building i? exceedingly difficult and the results slow in com ing. If all boost a iid help t<> build up the town it in an eaty Matter to make the town push forward. Dazzling Auto Headlights. Driving Ipto the dazzling Jights of an oncoming car is dangerous busi ness? dangerous alike to the dazzler and the dazzled. And it is so unneces sary. To dim the lights of a car ls so simple, and easy a task, that it seems that the danger involved by not doing so would compel the motorist approaching another car at night to take this simple precaution against the possibility of accident to his own car as well as the cars of others. I]t should not take a law to bring about the dimming of headlights. Common decency demands that a motorist prac tice this simple, rule of night driving etiquette, for it. is etiquette, and good manners are just as essential on the road as in the ballroom. The man who, used to walk four and five miles to school now has a son who complains about walking four and five blocks, says the Carolina Citizen, The beauty of this city is one of its most valuable assets, and every effort should be made to take advan tage of the gifts which nature has J bestowed here lavishly. Northern friends sent us several issues of New York dailies last week while a printers and pressmen's strike was on in the great metropolis. In stead of tile usual 12 to 2-1 pages of ten dailies, there were ten dailies in one and only eight pages, issued jointly by The American, The Herald, The Journal of Commerce, Daily News, The Morning Telegraph, The Times, The Tribune, The World, The New Yorker Staats-Zeitung, II Pro grcsso Italio-Americano, ? all* the names at the top of the front page, and each head in the style of type the paper uses. As one would expect, there were no editorials, and there were practically - no advertisements except for market reports and such utiie* LiriiiKa u? till morning; papers take, and the news stuff was boiled down to the limit. Editor Jordon, of the Dillon Herald, is one of the few newspaper men who has foiind time and money enough to take a trip abroad. Since returning he has written the following editorial which contains some mighty fine lid vice to those who think they are tho "whole cheese," and their business could not be run unless they are on the job to see after it personally. "For 25 years we had been nursing our business like a baby. Like most American business men we had fall en into a rut and we could not get out of it. A few days or a week at some resort in the summer was torture. We wanted to get back home because we felt that everything was going to the bow-wows. That is what getting into a rut does for a man. We felt that everything must have our person al touch and the business could not get along without us> Millions of Amer ican business <$nd professional men are suffering from this same exag gerated idea of their importance in their own affairs. It is more fatal than tuberculosis or cirrhosis of the liver. Our two boys who were at ? home from school and the entire office force got together and urged us to'go. They assured us that they could carry on the business. We made -our mind with reluctance. Not only did they, f cany on the business successfully in every way, but showed a substantial increase in revenues for the two months we were away, as compared with the revenues of the same months last year. We left business at home and for two months in 25 years phv burden was carried by other shoul ders. This lesson alono* was worth every cent of the cost of the trip. Wheii a man clings for 25 years to something. he loves he becomes self centered and takes himself- too seri ously. When a man creeps out of the valley even for a short period, crawls to the mountain top and realizes that he in only one of nearly two ^billion struggling humeri c reatues, hi* view point of life changes so abruptly that he laughs the laugh of real joy. He is like- a caged bird set loose after yearq of confinement." "William Taylor" died at a hotel at La Crosse, Wis., Friday night.' Death disclosed* the fact that although William had passed as a competent workman for years "he" was in real ity a woman. Woman Says She Was in Despair Induced to Take Stella Vitae, Her Health Is Soon Restored. I "Stella Yitae testified my health i after v-vrrything else failed to do me I any good." said Mrs. Brrnice Seal, of! Manrfrdville, Tenn. "After attacks of -flu' and pneu monia 1 suffered from terrible pains in my side, back and head. I had faint ing spells ami would turn blind and fall wherever I happened to be b standing. "One day my husband overheard a j lady praising SteMa Yitae at the store and he got me a bottle to try. After taking a few dosys I felt much better and stronger. I hove taken three in all and now I am *tryng Ami huallhy in every way." Stella Yitae may be obtained from any druggist and the purchase price will be refunded if it fails to bring relief. j Joseph Walter, Vice President. W. M. Manning, Pres. and Treat.

CORRESPONDENCE INVITED SOUTHERN FACTORAGE & STORAGE COMPANj COLUMBIA, S. C. 1 DIRECTORS: i Joseph M- Bell Richard I. Mimi, M. Mannisi Joseph Walker Alan B. Smith A party of rum runners, eight in number, made things lively over in Laurens county last Friday, priving a big Marmon car, loaded with liquor, they passod through Laurens and went toward Gray Count at the rate of sixty or seventy miles an hour. They had a rille and several pistols and had given out inat they were not to be interfered with. Officers after sending word ahead to stop them fol lowed in pursuit in a Hudson, firing at the tires of the Mormon ahead. Gray Court people had closed their placos of business and turned out with guns. The idea was to give the out laws a warm reception. Just as the leading car entered Gray Court, how ever, a wheel came off and subjected the men to easy capture at the hands of the pursuing Hudson. All of them were captured but one. He got away and was taken next day in Greenville. All of .them are now in the Laurens jail. WORLD'S DAIRY CONGRESS. Southern Railway announces great ly reduced fares to Syr?rnsp.

King, Directors No Finer Workmanship At Any Price it is literally true that in 4 reliability, in smooth 'and spirited performance, in long life, tl e new Hupmobile is to be compared only with the finest cars produced today. In workmanship, in ma terials, in precise measure ments, there is no substan tial difference between this recent triumph of Hupmo bile engineering, and cars costing two and three times . its price. This has been true of all Hupmobiles. Nothing else could account for the fact that the earliest models built 15 years ago are still in use in all parts of the world. ? It is particularly true of this new car. Celebrated as the Hupmobile always has been for its flash get-away, this Hupmobile is even quicker in pick-up. This, and the coasting, skimming quality that sur passes the smooth, steady travel of any Hupmobile before it, is accomplished in the new Hupmobile by im provements in the motor. The crankshaft is heavier, counter-balanced, with bearing areas 20 per cent greater. The pistons and connecting rods are lighter. The maximum increase in power is 10 per cent. ? The spring action of the new Hupmobile absorbs even more of the road shocks than any other Hupmobile, and the result is a still high er degree-^f riding ease. Come in ? let us describe to you the many other changes which make the new Hup mobile still more deserving of the high favor which for years the car has enjoyed throughout America. Fifteen minutes' experience in the new car will prove a de lightful revelation of its remarkable performance. ? T GEORGE T. LITTLE, Dealer , Camden, S. C.
