The Gastonia Gazette
; , TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1913.
OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
"Our Idea of 'lore's labor lost' is
a small town organizing a chamDer
f commerce. Gastonia, N. C, is the
last town to catch the lever. We
would like to hear some report from
Gastonia six or eight months hence
as to what that energetic body la do
ing.' V-Oaffney Ledger.
The Ledger occasionally makes a
"wise observation and this Is one oi
' them. - We would not agree that
thtre are no exceptions to the rule;
but generally speaking the Ledger la
correct. Where there is given a spir
it of hope, confidence and co-operation,
even In a small town there is
no better means for expressing an in
telligent direction of that spirit tnan
through a chamber of commerce.
But where there is an absence of
confidence and co-operative spirit,
and the chamber of commerce Is
maintained mainly for the purpose
of Toicing the views of a few individ
uals or mayhap the views or desires
of a single individual, as lf .ttnt view
or desire were the view or desire of
the town or community, the organi
sation cannot amount to a great deal.
While this is a condition as we see
it, we would not be understood as
suggesting that Gastonia does not
need a chamber of commerce or that
she cannot derive benefit from sucn
an organization. We know of many
towns that are no larger than Gas
tonia, to which chambers of com
merce are of very considerable ad
vantage. Yorkville Enquirer.
That Gastonla's Chamber of Com
merce was not organized solely for
the purpose of giving voice to the
sentiments of a few men was evident
from the largely attended and en
thusiastic meeting held when the
organization was launched. We
mean business. The fact that over
150 members have been enrolled, as
suring a fund of over $3,000 with
which to start, we think Is evidence
enough that this Is no "one man"
organization. We merely say to our
esteemed South Carolina friends
that the "busy town" will deliver
the goods.

STOMACH TROUBLES
llr. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject
Madison Heights, Va. Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: "I have
been taking Thedford's Black-Draught
for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine I have ever used,
r After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feel like a new man."

ness after eating, are sure symptoms of

Fairbrotlicr's Idea About the Candi
dacy of Mr. Glenn.
Everything.
The senatorial talk is getting a
little more often, and from the way
thngs are shaping the chances are
that Senator Overman will have no
opposition. True they talk Glenn,
but the time is not ripe for a man
oi Glenn s temperament to make a !
successful run. Everybody likes
"Bob" Glenn but when it come3 10
taking an able Democrat out of the
United States Senate just oecause
some other "good fellow" wanls it
J well, the Simmons vote last year
! showed how North Carolina people
j feel on that line. Ex-Gov. Glenn,
were tne neld open, were all things
equal, could sail In over any o'her
candidate. But Overman bas be
come conspicuous because of his
long service. He has made good as
Senator; he fills many important
places on committees, and his de
mocracy and ability are unquestlon
tioned. And the average man wno
figures it out asks himself the ques
tion: "Why should we put out of
business a faithful public Bervant
one who has familiarized himself
with all the ins and outs; who is
now really prepared to accomplish
something for North Carolina, and
put In a new man simply because he
is a 'good fellow?" And the an
swer is: "There Is no use." That
is why Overman will succeed Over
man that is why he should be reelected.

PERSONALITY in building up
and holding trade is a
strong asset Equally impor
tant are excellence of goods and
equitable dealing. The three
constitute a trinity that Is in
vlniHMe. Tbey make a custom
er go eut of bis way to do busi
ness with the concern that bas
these qualities. Tbey also tend
to make him a continual adver
tiser of the concern's goods.
The small merchant should
consider these Kints In connec
tion with the greatly increased
possibilities for trade which the
parcel post has placed within his
reach. He has now the facilities
to get in touch with a great
many mora people than ever be
fore and, at a low cost, for de
livering goods which give him
a distinct advantage over any
one not in his locality. His suc
cess, as already pointed out, is
simply a question of personality,
