For Sale. Large Congregation Greets Mr. McLees at the Last Services. The Presbyterian church was taxed to its capacity Sunday with the crowds that went to hear Rev. R. F. McLees. Notwithstanding that there were services at the other churches Sunday morning the building was well filled. At the children’s service at 4 o’clock the building was well filled with children and the service was made as interesting as possible for the little folks. The evening service was the climax so far as attendance was concerned. There was not a vacant seat in the entire building and all the available chairs were put into service. Mr. McLees preached a strong sermon from Acts 7:32 34, inclusive. The preacher plead with his hearers to forsake sin and accept the salvation offered by Christ. He declared that that there was not a person present who did not propose in their heart to become a Christian some day, but be also declared that it was dangerous to delay in this matter. With much feeling he declared : “I’d be afraid to treat God in such a manner, and if I were not afraid I’d be ashamed to do it. God is a King, and he will not allow any man to insult him. Do not delay in so important a matter.” The speaker held the close atten tion of the entire congregation from beginning to end. After the service many went forward to give the preacher their hands and to bid him farewell. Mr. McLees made a good impress ion in Gaffney by his earnest manner and faithful work. He is a pretty word painter, an alliterator, an epigrammatist, and Pis plaintive, pleading style is calculated to do much good. Considering the fact that he has been preaching hut three years he is a remarkably clever evangelist. Advertisements under this bead will je Inserted for one cent a word each Inser tion.

M> business can possiblv be T successful that is not adver- ♦ Used. This is a sweeping statement, but it is true. There are some merchants in this community whose experience apparently contradicts the statement. The contradiction, however, is only apparent. If they have attained any degree of success they have advertised. They have let people know what they had to sell, what they were here for and ^ | what they proposed to do. Just in proportion to the thorough ness with which they have done this and met the conditions of their competitors they have suc ceeded. If they have used the newspa pers they have worked with the best tools so far as getting pub licity is concerned. If they have worked without the newspapers they have been handicapped »nd have not attained the highest possible measure of success.
