CHANGE IN GILMER
STORE MANAGEMENT
Mr. G. C. Lowe who has been man
ager of Gilmer's Shelby store has
been appointed manager of the
Greenville, S. C. store and Mr. R. L.
Armour who has been assistant man
ager here has been promoted to man
ager. ; The change became effective
yesterday and was brought about by
the death of Mr. L. J. Moore, manag
er of the Greenville store. Mr. Lowe
has made many friends while in
Shelby and the change is worthy and
deserving promotion. While his
friends regret to see him leave Shel
by, they rejoice with him in his
elevation to a higher position, the
Greenville store being two and a
half times larger than the Shelby
store.
Mr. Armour's promotion to manag
er is also a deserving one, he being
very popular with the trade and one
with a wide experience in the mer
cantile business, having traveled for
some of the leading manufacturers
before entering the mercantile busi-
"Happiness or unhappiness depends
Upon one's own self," said a local
philosopher yesterday. "Imagination
has a lot to do with it. Haven't you
seen people who rocked themselves
in a slough of despondency all their
lives never getting up to look out and
see that the fellow across the way
was whistling and hoeing and mak
ing himself and others comfortable
and happy? Did you ever hear a little
verse that runs this way and which
exemplifies the idea:
'It's a gay old wprld when you're
gay,
And a glad old world when you're
glad;
But whether you play
Or go toiling away, I
It's a sad old world when you're sad.
'It's a beautiful world to see
Or it's dismal in every zone
The thing it must be
In its gloom or its glee
Depends on yourself alone.' "

YOU SHOULD REGISTER
THIS WEEK TO VOTE
Every voter in Shelby should
register this week to vote in the
school bond election on the ques-
tion of issuing $75,000 in bonds,
said election to take place Sat-
urday July 23rd. This is a new
registration and books will be
open until Saturday, July Kith.
Mr. T. C. Eskridge is registrar
and last week less than 100 cit-
izens had registered for this
special election. Every citizen
should register and vote in this
election for it is obviously unfair
for the 100 citizens who have reg-
istered to decide on such an im-
portant question as issuing $75,-
000 worth of bonds. If you do
not register and vote it is your
fault. If no more register than
100, you see it is possible for 51
people to pass or kill a bond is-
sue of $75,009 for schools. A '
majority of those who register
will determine the result of the
election.
