MR. GREEN WRITES
ABOUT HARD SURFACE
WHEN TO CUT TIMBER
' AND AVOID THE BUGS
Citizens of Marshville were aston
thev read a front rage
article in last issue tf The Journal
criticising Commissioner Wilkinson
for his decision to begin the next
hard-surfacing project at the Anson
county line and include Marshville
ar.d Wingate, leaving the "njmish
ed gap between Wingate )nd Monroe
en which impropriation from feder
al funds are to be applied jointly
with county funds. ' ,, .
May I again call the Journal s at
tention to the fact that Marshville
township has never defeated a bond
issue for roads and that in the re
cent election thij township went more
than two to one fov bonds and in the
town of Marseille the . vote stood
more than six to one for roads while
Mnnvno pave a heavy majority
against the proposition? Would have
Marshville to always "keep up its
record for road building and then
ciinnti-j he content with the intan
gible consciousness of its loyalty and
patriotism wnne tne xaiyiuiu iumu
are diverted from east Marshville
township to east Monroe township.
Since Monroe has already secured a
hard-surface road from Lee's null to
the Mecklenburg line and an expen
sive concrete bridge at Lee's mill do
you consider it just or fair to con
tend now that half the Statj funds
tentatively allotted to Marshville
. ownship bo diverted to Monroe tewn
' ship? It is not an exaggeration to say
hf 7R npr rent of all the bond money
used under a country-wide unit ha3
hoen used in building roads from
wkifh ATnnrne becomes the direct ben.
eficiary, plus fifteen miles of hard
surface road and concrete bridges
built with State funds. Under these
conditions if any township on the
highway should be placed on the
waiting list which should it be, Mon-
roe or Marshville? '
I cannot believe that any fair
minded citizen of Monroe, after reas
onable consideration, would contend
for the kind of unjust discrimination
suggested in your article against ine
most loyal and progressive section in
Union county by asking still further
appropriations for Monroe even to the
extent of diverting state funds al
ready tentatively alloted . to east
Marshville township, and " knowing
the spirit of fairness and conserva
tism that usually characterizes the
editorial policy of the Journal; I am
inclined to think its contentions and
-fiticisma were made without due
consideration and that in its zeal for

MR. HOWARD OF WAXHAW
HAS DISAPPEARED
News has' been defined as any
thing that people are interested in.
According to that definition this is
sue of The Journal is chock full of
news, for everybody is interested ins
shoorjing news. The Monroe mer
chants are opening up their big sum
mer events with a vim and the Jour
nal is pleased to be able to carry the
news to the public.
A few years ago anything like a
summer sale of large proportions was
unknown. But today Monroe s live
mercantile establishments have these
regular events and such sales: mean
a srreat deal to the buying public.
Modern merchandising has become a
huge thing, and the news of what the
biur stores are doine is an important
part of any newspaper. It is safe to
say that the public looks for this
class of news as eagerly as for any
other kind. It may be ot more im
mediate and startling interest to
read about some sensational event
that has taken place some where
than to read the store news, but such
interest is only on the surface. Ev
erybody has to .buy and "everybody
wants to know what tne stores are
offering and what the goods cost.
These sales will brine' many people
t-n Mnnrne because the merchants who
are putting them on have established
reputations, iney make gooa tneir
promises, and in their trade territory
their word is their bond. The histor
ies have thought it necessary to men
tion the fact that when George Wash

d:es his brand and name were re
garded as sufficient guarantee of the
goods. This principle of trade may
have been so infrequent in that day
that Washington's example was
thought worthy of a place in history.
But ymes hive so changed that no
body would think of mentioning a
fact of that kind today, because no
map can attain a large place as a
merchant and retain nat place long
unless he practices this principle
first, last and all the time. It is the
business of the modern merchant to
please his customers. The old princi
ple of "Let the buyer beware," is
dead. Today it is "let the merchant
beware," for the public will not sus
tain for a very long time any mer
chant who is any thing else. The pub
lic' is more and more looking to the
established merchants who say plain
ly 'what they will do and then make
thtir words good',' who sell to all at
the same price, who regard every cus
tomer as a friend whose respect and
confidence is to be retained, who are
in business not only today, this week,
ar.d this year, but the next, the next,
and the next. -.:
Modern Life is settling down more
and more to the observance of the
principles of honesty and fairness
and honor, and in this development
the established mercantile houses
have long been setting the pace. And
for this reason the daily and weekly
announcements of the merchants are
becoming more and more an import
ant part of the news of the day.

stooped before venturing across, her

and then saw for the first time the

the motor but the car was still in

that she had become petrified with
fear. Shaw says he ran to the car
fifteen feet away and grasped the
woman, - as ne snatcnea ner over

rudely behind him he reached for tne
four-year-old child, Iris Gillespie. He
got her out with one arm and had
stepped back five feet when he heard
a crash and saw part of the auto

was that he could not get the two
