FRIDAY JUNE. 6. 1913 THE BEGINNING OF. A NEW ERA In recent election on the question of fhe removal of the County site "Sylva the vote of Sylva precinct was remarkable" and highly com mendable as showing a unanimity of thought and purpose which is worthy of the most serious consider ation. Out of a registered vote of 320 there were cast 314-all but six-only 12 being against the proposition. Jn the Couny the removal move ment carried by a majority of 675 of the votes cast and 477 of the qualified vote. As was argued during the cam paign, the County site is an index iwhereby strangers judge the 'general prosperity and spirit of the County. The people of the county have placed their confidence in Sylva and it is up to us to make good. We iriust make the best appearance possible and be ever on the alert to capture the approval of strangers .andof our own people. The prosperity and spirit of a rtown is judged by the condition of the streets and the general appear- .anceof the town. If, we would seek the approval of strangers, we must; clear up our streets and back jrards and make our town, a delight ful place in which to live. We owe it to ourselves, "to our county and to the stranger within our gates, to.place our streets in a more presentable condition.

THE HOME KITCHEN. Paint your kitchen walls and woodwork white above the wains coting. It keeps soiled hands away. Its cheerful brightness is always in viting. One quart of Turpentine added to one-half gallon of L. &. M. Semi-Mixed Real Paint makes 3 quarts of the highest grade of pure , paint, and it is enough to paint a kitchen and two more rooms. For outside painting the very highest grade of long life paint, is made by adding three quarts of pure Linseed oil to each one gallon of L. & M. Semi-Mixed Real Paint. Sold by Sylva Cash Store. During the session of the general Assembly the freight rate discrima- tion was brought, to the lattention of the presidents - of the several railroads doing business in the state They made their pledge to the Leg islature that the evil would be rem- -edied. The legislature adjourned. x There have been conferences, each adjourning from time to time. INothing definately has been done It is stated, that freight rate discri mination cost North vCarolina six million dollars a, y Jar. If that be true the six months that have been - wasted since the general Assembly commenced has cost the people of the State' three million dollars Each week that is wasted puts one hundred and thirty odd thousand ' .dollars into the hands of the rail- : roads out of the pockejts of the 4 people f this state, Whatsoever you do doquickly ; - . : It is now well .known that not ; more than one case ot rheumatism in ten requires any internal " treat ment whatever.

To gain this confidence it necessarily follows that the merchant " must first make the acquaintance of the customer. After that it is a question of give and take. IT IS ; CONFIDENCE LONG AND CAREFULLY FOSTER ED THAT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MAINSTAYS OF TfiE, MAIL ORDER HOUSES. The I only weakness in the fabric has been that the trade , relations of buyer and seller were to a great extent impersonal. Naturally, there Is . no commercial confi dence quite as firmly based as that which exists between the individual merchant and the in dividual customer." who deal face -to face. ' Now is the time for the local merchant to develop this confl-' cTence in the wider field - which the parcel post has opened to him. He can reach customers within .his zone at less cost and far. more expeditiously and sat isfactorily, than any; mail order house. - Once the buying public becomes aware of v this fact Jit will speedily transfer its alle giance , from Hhe.mail order' houses, and deal with the man 'near horned ...'-. - " V: ADVERTISE YOUR WARES SPECIFICALLY - G I V I N G" .
