Are You an Independent American Citizen ?
During the coming Presidential Campaign, you will read a thousand
appeals-to the “Independent Citizens of the United States”.
A man is not independent if he has no money saved up, if he must
look to somebody else, every time he needs a little cash.
A man is not independent if his business is in such shape that he
cannot move unless some other man will loan him a little money.
The Pall season is at hand. Put by something in the bank so that
when this time of need comes you will not have to depend upon some other
man for what you must have.
You may have needed money in the past when you had no way of
getting it—you don’t want this to happen again. Or if you have never been
so unfortunate, don’t let yourself get in this shape. Keep ahead of the
game. Build up a bank account. Don’t put it off ’till next month, or
next vear. DO IT NOW !

COTTON MILL TO
RUN ON FULL TIME
Will Begin Next Monday
To Operate Six Days
In The Week.
The Pelham Manufacturing
Company has issued announce¬
ment to the effect that the cotton
mill will be operated on full time
beginning next Monday. While
the general business conditions
throughout the country do not
warrant the operation of the mil
six days in the week, the manage¬
ment has announced that they
will, nevertheless, put the mill
on full time.
It is done largely in considera¬
tion of the operatives, whose ex¬
penses will be greater during the
winter months. Since January
last the mill has been running
only four days in the week.
Most other cotton mill* through¬
out tiie country commenced mak¬
ing short time several mouths
prior to the Pelham Manfacturlng
Company. This concern has
always been mindful of the con¬
venience and comfort of its em¬
ployes, and the announcement
just made is another evidence of
this fact. All the employes, and
operatives are delighted at the
prospect of again being placed
on full time.
The Democratic Ticket.
The democratic ticket to be
voted in the general election Oc¬
tober 7th contains the names of
candidates for forty-eight offices
outside of the regular nominees
for couDty offices and the two
amendments to the constitution
which will be voted on.
All the names appearing on the
ticket beside those for pension
commissioner are those of nomi¬
nees of the democratic party who
were chosen at the June primary.
The office of pension commis-i
sioner has . . been created . since . the /
June primary and for that reason
there is no regular democratic
nominee for this office. There
are five candidates running for
this office, aud it will be necessa¬
ry to strike the names of four of
these.
The official form of ballot has
been sent out to the proper offic¬
ers in every county of the state
so that the tickets can be pre¬
pared.

Arousing Civic Pride.
(From Atlanta Georgian).
There are front yards and back
premises in the city that are a
splendid nucleus for civic im¬
provement. If each home would
only emulate its best neighbor in
this respect there would soon be
a revolution in the looks of the
town.—Pelham Journal.
The Pelham Journal can do no
greater work than to arouse a civic
pride in such important matters.
Orderliness and cleanliness about
the premises not only add vastly
to the attractiveness of a
town, but it adds to the general
health and morals. Many papers
in Georgia are engaged in this
sort . of . . and , they ,
campaign, 7 are to
, be commended , for , it. .

tal principles of our store. Upon them we have founded
our stores success and by rigidly adhering to them we
shall continue to deserve this success. Every purchase
