System of Chain Stores, Burden Instead
of Blessing to Any Community
You never saw a system of
chain stores light down and in-.
Dst any town until somebody
else had already built it up. ;
The chain store of today is a :
Utrden to the average commun
ity, in which it squats.
The chain store is operated
out of Chicago, Boston or some'
other distant city ami every do!-
hr ‘hat it takes in ms - awa/,
They not only don’t deposit
their money in the local banks,
but they are too stingy to buy
tm-jpon safe, in which to store
the money they taki in from the
public.
The long suit of the chain •
tore is to rup om a few spe
cials, on which to catch suck
ers, and if you will weigh be
hind thvw regularly, you will
find that they will stick you'for
about twenty per cent in
weights.
It ha- . ■ . tri ■! time ami
again in Savannah, the. writer
Ims had ample experience with ;
their short weights.
Suppose a calamity were to:
befall a community in which a
chain store was located, a wid-j
ow lose her home, or something
■f that kind was to happen, we ■
mean the things that you carry :
around a petition to local mer-;
chants to help with.
If von went to the manager
of the chain store, before ho
would be authorized to contrib
ute a penny he would have to
take it up with his boss, a Chi
cago or Boston Yankee.

Suppose you wanted to build
• a tobacco warehouse, or start !
any movement for the public
• good, if yoti went to the man-:
lager of a chain store to take
; stock he would give you .he
“hoss" laugh.
Suppose you were caught
sh ’ ami wanted’ something
.charged until pay day, and you
went ■ the chain store. If you •
didn’t get out quick the chances >
are they would have a police-•
man tv run you in on a charge
r ' loitering. They would be
, ortain to do so if the big boss ■
happened to be around. j
Yet, you will get credit from !
your local grocer all the week
and then go around Saturday
night and spend your cash,
with a concern who looks upon;
you as a thief and who will .
short weight you enough io
.make your goods run higher ■ •
then they would if you stuck .
i to the man who extended you (
favors when you needed it.
The chain store is a branacie
on the commercial body, and ,
one that furnishes bail to catch
.suckers with. j
No community has ever been
I benefited by the existence of
[these foreign-owned concern'-,
who have no sympathy with
either you or yours.
The man who loves his com
. munity and is interested in its
general welfare will stand by
the home people, who will stand
by them in turn.

NUMBER 2C
When boiled down to the real
differences there was very little.
It was agreed by the delegates
from the country counties, that
('hatha;, ■ to be allowed to
alternate. m?l furnish the Sena
j tor every other time, but the
[Chatham delegation took the
! position if they were to have
I an extra term they ought to have
it following each other, so that
, a Senator could succeed himself.
The vote wm really six to three
in favor of Chatham Delegate
J. P. Dukes of Bryan being Sec
retary did not arise but his vote
I was recorded with the minority
making the vote really six to
i four.
Two women to one man.
This indicates that the end of
time is fast approaching.
The Book says that “Before
the end of time, there will be
seven women hanging to every
man’s coat tail.”
This incident in itself ought
[to scare a lot of people and
[cause them to walk just a little
[straighter.
It worried Judge Schwarz to
[the extent that he ciphered out
that the peace and tranquility
