Therefore the Kings Mountain Herald feels that it is within the j line ol duty to itself and the com munity in which it lives to issue an edition of this character. This opin-' ion prevails with most of the live and wide-awake communities who have or are issuing special editions of this character. Our neighboring city of Shelby did this thing some months ago and it was the mature judgement of the business people of that community that it was needed. It was an extra fine edition and they are to be complimented on the work so well done. There is no good reason why Kings Mountain cannot do equally as good and also make our led for greater development in the future. Its a known fact that if an individual or city does not go after what they want they will never get it. This y demonstrated on every hand both by the individual and city that goes after things and the individual or city that lays down on account of a few dollars expense and as a conse quence gets nothing. Kings Moun tain is at the cross-roads and must either put forth greater efforts to get that they desire or make no ef fort and stay as we are or possibly go backward in the business world. With this idea in mind the publish er is asking the co-operation of the business people of Kings Mountain who have interest and vision enough to see that trend of things and fthe good business policy of such a move. We have employed an experi enced man to help us to get out this edition as there is a world of work to do to get out one that jwu and we are not ashamed of and one that will command the attention of the investor and industrialists into whose hands we will place this fin ished product. With your co-opera tion and help we can put something out that IS beneficial to every busi ness and manufacturer in the city. Island! Good thing, or we might have forgotten what a Republican j really was.
