A good war record is a mighty good thing for a politi cian to have in his business.— Albany Herald. 000 The Memphis Commercial appeal thinks it is about time the navy was recognized in our national politics.

Watters &, Son, the big Broad street clothiers, know exactly how to carry out any undertak ing or enterprise in which they engage. This wide awake hustling firm of up-to-date business men found, some ten days ago that, owing to a mild winter, business had not been as good as it should have been—and in consequence they would soon be in ’need of ♦unds. They had an enormousgstock, but cash was needed worst am so the firm very promptly decid ed to lay the knife into prices and throw their stock on the market. Last Sunday morning they announced a .“Money’ Raisinj. Sale” and to show that th ex meant business they specific > goods and quoted prices. The result has been exact!\ what the firm anticipated. Their store has been crowded from morning to night for six days. The crowds have flecked in, have examined goods and eager ly purchased, for the people know bargains when they see them. “Our sale for the past week has been all we anticipated,” svid Mr. J. B. Watters day. “We are rapidly exchang ing bargains for cash and while we are raising the funds we needed in our business, we are at'the same time clothing the multitudes.” “Our advertisement in The Hustler-0 omme’• ci a 1 has brought us rich returns, and you can leave it stand, unchanged, for another week. It states what we are doin? and that is all that wo want it to state.” “We will continue the sale for a few days longer and then will promptly shut off the slaugh ter.” A word to the wise is sufficient —so look over the Watters Co., add and govern yourself by wh it you see. Now is the time to join the push. A NARROW ESCAPE. Thatikful words written by Mrs. Ada E Hart, of Groton, S.
