"The Bank of Dependable Service." llayiit-s exjirt'sseil hiiii.-u'lf as being highly pleurterl with the day's Imsiiii'ss. " 'J' I if iv wero folks here from all over the futility, from Liiiiolntoii, Vorkville iiinl nearly all the towns within thirty miles, ' ' he remarked. The remarks of Messrs. Cunningham und Jlaynes wert- iluiiliinted in almost t". fry iiistaiiee as the M. M. went iii am! ilown Main street the next day in Hairing us to how Dollar Day went with fi.rli particular business man. In sonic lines of husiiifss things were not as lively as they were in others. The de iartment stores, clothing, dry goods and notion eMtalilishinents naturally iiad the liiggest cMiwds. though tin1 houses iii practically every line did a nice business and the business men of the city as a whole were icliglitcil with the results. It seemed to be tlie consensus of opinion that iastuiiiu should have two Dollar Days each year, one in the spring and another in the fall. "What's wo;rying your" asked the M. M. of (ieorgt t U'ii ii, ex printer, lumber, and near philosopher, as he Mood on the street corner wealing a puz zled look on his face. ''I was just thinking what bloomiii1 idiocy it is for (ia.ttiin county farmers to plant cotton this tear. Why, lols of them arf ac tually plowing under cotton that was never picked in order to plant morv cotton. '"You're no farmer, (if urge," sug gestcl tlu M. M., "'so what's the cause of your worrying about the farmer when he refuses to worry about himself!'' "It's this nay,'' said deinge. "I ran a, ross a farmer friend of mine up the stieet awhile ago and he looked like he had lost his last friend. I asked him what was tl.e matter and he said he cenMii't sell his tectum. J told him I didn't want any cotton, loiildu't buy any cotton and couldn't do anything villi cotton if I had it, but I named over t wciity three separate ariicles that are piodiiced mi the farm all of which I was i;i tin- market for and which I was ready to buy and pay for. N I asked him : " 'Have you got any chickens, butter, eggs, ha in, honey, hay. canned tomatoes cow peas, etc., lot sale ' ' " "No." r'l'lied my friend, 'I haven't a one ol the t wenty-t hree articles you iiiciitioui'd tor sale. ' " 'Well,' I sail, 'surely you are not going to plant any cotton this year, arc youf "And I don't think he is." "Sometime ago" observed the Obser vant Citizen, "there was considerable talk of the wisdom of widening Frank lin Avenue but it seems to have died down. At that time there was prevalent an opinion to the effect that Franklin Avenue was destined in the years to tome to supplant Main Avenue as Gas 'onia 's principal business thoroughfare. In the few short months since this sub jfft was first discussed tinre has devel oped real evidence that said opinion was not without foundation. Already one big business house bus beeu built on l'raiiklin at the corner of Oakland street mid the (iray property at the corner of South and Franklin bills fair to devel op into to business property in the near future. The structures recently put up on this thoroughfare have been put right up (lush with the street and this will continue to be done unless something Is done by the city council before any more building is planned. As I see it this is a matter of real vital importance mid ought to be given serious considera tion before things progress any further in this direction." In this connection another citizen who is interested in 'hi same proposition called the M. M s. attention to similar movements in Belmont and Hock Hill. A recent Belmont dispatch to The Charlotte Observer says: "At a meet ing of the town council Tuesday night i- was decided to widen the Central street which runs in front of the Central school building and the Baptist church from its present width of iij feet and make it .In feet wide. This will be taken from thei side towards the school and church, ami will add greatly to bi th the appearance and the convenience el the street." A Hock Hill, S, C, dispatch to The Observer under recent date says: " 1'lans I live been made fur th,, removal of trees and poles from Caldwell street, that the thoroughfare may be widened for three feet on either sid,. Iiefore paving is put down. This street is one of the busiest thoroughfares an. I with an additional six feet in width will lie much more valuable. The propeity owners, including I'liele Sam, realized the value of having the "I net widened an, I donated the ground necessary, the city agreeing to set new i orbing and replace the sidewalks with out cost to the property owners. The block is rapidly developing from residen tial to business district, four business establishments already being located on the street. With the thoroughfare wid ened and paved iti s expected that other business nous's will replace the resi dences." i ROBINSON CRUSOE'S ISLE TO BE TURNED INTO HEALTH RESORT BY CHILE (By The Associated I'ress.) VALPARAISO, Ma,. lo. -- .luaii Ferna udez island, lot! miles west of Val paraiso, widely regarded as the spot a round which the story of Robinson Cru soe was written, is to be turned into a lualth result according to present plnim of the Chilean government. The island is L', miles long and four miles wide. Vegetation is abundant Many kinds of fruits thrive Iheie ami tlie sea in the vicinity swarms with ; species of tin I tisli and quantities of seals, according to a recent visi'ur. The actual original of Defoe's story of 'ru-oe was said to have been Alex aii'ler Selk rk. one if a crew of linen neeis. who ipiarrelcl with his skipper and was marooned at his own reipiest on .1 11:111 Fernandez where he spent four liHiely years. The grot to where Selkirk is supposed to have liv.t with his man1 Friday still is to be seen. A British waiship visited the island in 1 Slis and members of the crew erected a tablet in memory of r-Ylkirk. Some years ago the Chilean govern , ment attempted to colonize the island i and gave free passage t emigrants, but the scheme was a failure and the island now has only L'nn inhabitants. BUILDING CONFIDENCE. When you pntrnnlze a merchant who practices honesty In his advertising and always sells the quality he offers through his printed announcements, you acquire confidence In him and bis goods. You accept his word as truth. Ton know that when he says he Is going to sell dollar values at half price you can buy a full dollar's worth for fifty cents. And you feel that you can go to his store at any time and be assured of honest treatment, honest values nod honest prices. Good advertising In Its fullest sense can give any merchant the reputation of being "on the square." On the other hand, advertising with only on occasional little untruth can often undermine the reputation of a dealer ' to such an extent that you become sus picious and question every statement he makes thereafter. Advertising that tends to build con fidence is a mighty and valuable in strument In the hands of the progres sive m Teh ant. It is the menus of nouri.-liing his business and niakicg it grow to the limit of its capacity.
