The merchants of Greenville are tu be commended for their concurrence in the suggestion of the King’s Daugh ters that they close their stores at T o'clock in the evening between April first and September first. In carrying this out they will begin the early closing tomorrow evening. The women will probably chortile over the news that a New York Mil lionaire has $42,000 for an old helmet. Four avowed aspirants are in the eld for the Democratic nomination for United States senator from Ohio, in succession to Senator Burton. They are ex-Congressman John J. Iientz of Columbus, John L. Zimmerman if Springfield, Attorney General Timothy S. Hogan and Charles L. Swain, speaker of the Ohio house of represen tatives. A stranger today said he thought that there was a million dollars worth of buildings in Greenville and his thoughts arc pretty much on the level. Charlie Murphy, the domollshed Tara many leader doesn’t seem to realize that they have ordered the previous (luestion on him. It was with a man with a mean dis position who said he is In favor of letting all the women vote e.\ccpf these suffragettes. There may have been a bit of jeal ously in the madness of the London militant who slashed the Rokeby Venus. 0 A Washington judge has ruled that ta.xicahs are common carriers. May be they are, but common people scl dom ride in them. Coolness and common sense are groat partnership combination in the running of the celebrated United .States Government. It is absurb that everybody in this country should become dcsponent over tinancial condition. Kven Huerta car. still borrow money.

Sam rtermyer the Wall Street cri tic will shortly be in a position to render a legal ruling on the Aelli'^te distinction between a probe and a (lovernor Cole Blease of South Ca olina always takes off his coat when he maki's a speech. He w^ill be an amusing figure in the Senate—if he ever pets there. U wtiiilfl be ungaliant and perhaps uniru'' to say tiiat any political par ty is between the devil and the deep sea on the suffrage question. A new Texas Brand of politics lias appeared. It is called "proiiibition Progressive Demoeraey." It may b ■ all right, but it sounds dangcrou.^. If we should annex a fat strip of Mexico very likely the state of Texas would want it all, being greatly in need of a little territory to relieve that cramped feeling. Sons of the King of England got onl/ SI 2r> a week for spending money. Uur as they don't have to spend money for anything, the allowance is probably .^mple. Marconi says we soon will be talk ing across the ocean, Curtiss declare'? we soon will be flying over it, and sub- ■tarine enthusiasts are sure we soon will be steaming under it. The bridge and funnel enthusiasts are yet to n<' lie*rd from. JJut it will soon be time to rummagf around and see if you can find your tly svj'ter.

There may be more honor in being a member of the federal bank re serve board but the ordinary busi ness person would prefer to be on the Klgin Butter Board. 0 The real wire-pullers, so far as get ting quick service, are those who speak pleasantly to the hello girls. I.«ok out for that April fool. There are two sides to all questions even the split skirts have two sides t • it. It's a sure thing that women will never make a good police for they al ready refuse to wear the proper uni- formt because no woman will wear a hat just like another woman. March of this year changed the or der somewhat, coming in likn a lion and going out like a lamb. tSlany a man’s purse was hit hard lick in Greenville yesterday. U was mlUinery opening Ail increase in wages is being sough* by the firemen and engineers of prac- ticalt.v all the railroads west of Chi cago, The ice man's mouth is beginning *o water but the coal man is about played out, because he has made enough money to last him a year. He can at tend the baseball games when ever h feels like it. A Western man who inherited abou* one million dollars agreed to let five men help him spend it. If he’d onlv come down to Greenville and get som^ of us 1 think one would be enough help. In selecting a successor to Prof. \V H. Ragsdale as county superintendent the board of education should look well to find the best man possible for the position. They cannot afford t.) stop the pace set by Prof. Ragsdale for Pitt county's educational progress Buffalo Bill's avowal that ho has a great life work to perform btfore hj irosses over would imply that he be longs with those eleventh hour re cruits. Whether Texas will repeat history in the present crisis and lick Mexico as she did in IS46 and 1847 depends largely on her many Crockettes and Houstons can bo found in Chihuahua. 0 Greenville today mourns under a double portion of sorrow in the death of two of her best and most beloved citizens. Two better men than Prof. W. H. Ragsdale and Mr. K. A. Move. Sr., are not known. They gave their lives to the service of God and their fellowmnn. Both will be badly missed. We are told that a big business man of one of our neighboring cities that c.aim to be the metropolis of Eastern Carolina was forced to come to Green ville to borrow money to build a dwelling in his home town. We haven’t any money trees, but your coin will accumulate in your pockets in OreenTllle. ’’Our Greenville, Yours f 'Vou Come." WIXTEKVILLE ITEMS What has become of the proposed whirlwind campaign to raise the fund for the erection of the Confederat<* monument? There ought to be som., whirling going on if the monument is to be a reality this year. One fourt’, of the year has already gone by. It 'n'as Tlirougb tjie £fforts of the King’s Danghters That Snch Is Realized by Em ployees. For several weeks the King’s Daugh ters have been striving to have the business men of Greenville consider the number of hours that their em ployees are forced to work to consti tute a days task, and have at last con vinced a majority of the business houses that their clerks need more resl K and recreation. The ladies are to be commended for the part they have taken in this move ment, and the employees of these places should feel grateful to them lor their efforts. The work was completed yesterday when all merchants, excepting three, signed a petition agreeing to close their places at seven o'clock in the t-venlngs. The following is the peti tion circulated with the signatures ot those favoring the early closinu hours; We, the undersigned merchants and business men of the town of Greenville agree to close our places of business I’rosident Wilson has promised Miss Tyler, the Courtland. Va., postmis tress, that he would see what could i beginning April 1st 1914, at 7 o’clock b.- done in her behalf that she may'®' “ • through this entire year, Satur .etain her position.

'V\liat the President will do is hard to foretell. Attention is called to a meeting of the Carolina Club, the purpose of which is set out in another column of todays paper. We note that all of the business men of the town are r.j (juested to be present at this meeting whether a member of the club or noi and we earnestly hope that all who can will attend this meeting. Mr. Bernhard is a noted expert on a sub ject that is certainly of vital interest to the town at this time and everybody who can arrange to go to Washington. Friday evening should surely do so Get out tonight to the club meeting and arrange your business so that yo i can make the trip to Washington and learn something about a subject of great importance to. the material growth of the town. We should not allow the opportunity the govern ment has given, to pass by. Get busy business men. The best way to keep out of a pickle is to keep cool as a cucumber. Two words—service and efficiency— are being worked double duty these days. But there’s a reason. Men of af- tance are coming to realize the impor tance of the .deas behind the two , words. Especially is this true if the modern retain business establishment. Retail merchants have learned the val ue of the long time customer with established patronage. The once in a while customer is wanted—but the reg Hlar stand by is wanted more. To hold customers requires "service” and why not say “efficient service.’ J. R. & J. G. Moye. W. B. Brown & Co. C. T.

Smithtown Items. SMITHTOWX, March 31.—We are very much pained to hear of the death of Prof. Ragsdale. Pitt county has lost no less than the state did when Chas. B. Aycock died. Mrs. Lizzie Flanagan 'was visiting at Mills Smiths Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Haywood Smith and children of Farmvllle spent the dav at C. D. Smiths Sunday. Mr. Ivy Smith went to Greenville Sunday to attend the burial of Prof Ragsdale. Mrs. W. D. Tyson of Kinston spent Monday in the neighborhood. Quite a number of our people went to Farmvllle last evening to hear the orphans sing. I hope they realized a ATDE9T ITEMS AYDEN, April 1.—Everyboy come to the auditorium next Thursday night and bring somebody with them to hear the Orphans from Oxford give their concert. Mr. J, H, Coward says the last snow was a joke on the sunny soutb and we are of his opinion. Mr. H. C. Cannon of Rountrees, who has been sick for a long time died last Saturday morning and waa burled Sunday evening with Masonio honors Mr, Cannon was one of tin Contentneas most reliable men and his death Is a blow to the township and a great loss to Rountrees church. We extend our sympathy to the grief stricken family. Owing to sickness of Mrs. Le- Grande, wife of the pastor of the Christian church Rev. R, F. Pittmaa tilled his pulpit Sunday morning and Rev, L. L. Smith at night. Both sermons were highly spoken of. timid couple skipped out—went to another store, spent $150 and paid cash. The prominent lady was busy tor an hour, looking, spent fifty cents. The clerk continued his conservation with his friend. The store lost a sale and l.o.st a permanent customer. EflR- cent store service would have saved both. Good service can not be rendered at a minimum cost without proper equip ment. Especially is this true of the business house during the rush hours Equipment needs also modern meth ods of management. Bad equipment, lost motion and antequated methods result in loss of profits and in addi tion the loss of customers. Recently in a certain shoe store the clerk spent twenty eight minutes looking for the particular shoe wanted by a customer. The total time occupied by that sales man In making the sale was fifty min uts. Bad equipment, ancient method of stock keeping and olden time meth od. The customer went from the store determined to try another estab lishment the next time—too much lost time. Smithtown school closes April the seventh. Come to the commencement. It is claimed that the average wages in Ireland has increased nearly 50 per cent in lea than 10 years as a re sult of the efforts of the Irish trade unions.

Just look around at our stock and , Those matters count and count far feel at home." In truth, sometimes j more than you realize. The cheery you will find clerks so efficient that "good morning”—spoken, not as a mat they can wait on two customers at the same time—but that is asking too much of them. The last word is efficient service. It counts. It pulls trade. It builds regular purchasing.
