H. Littlejohn, who has been quite sick, is very much im proved. There were nine hundred and forty votes cast at the three precincts in GafTney at the primary Tuesday. The candidates for the county offices, defeated and elected alike, accept results as a matter of course and are taking it easy. To the credit of Cherokee county, the election has passed and we have yet to hear of any trouble at any precinct in the county.

NOTHING ON EARTH IS TOO GOOD FOR SIGK PEOPLE 1 i The manager of one of the most successful furniture houses in Greater New York was asked to what one thing, in his opinion, the success of the concern was most due. He replied: “The founder of the firm was s great believer in advertising, and to this fact may be ascribed the enormous business we are handling.” There is no business, however small, that cannot be increased by judicious, systematic, per sistent advertising. The giant oak does not gain its strength in a day. Magnificent buildings are not reared all at once, nor can their strength and beauty be appreciated until the finishing ' touches are put on. Is your business satisfactory? Are you maiing headway? Are you using tAhe best advantage the greatestVf all business lev ers—advertising? If you are satisfied that you are, well and good; if not, drop in and talk it over with us. We have advertising space to sell, and advertising is a part of our business. Perhaps we can help you.
