If advertising does not pay in all lines of business, why is it that those who advertise are generally the ones who eventually surpass in promi nence and financial standing? Why is it that those wiho advertise most are those who make most? Why is it that the extensive advertiser is a good natured, jolly fellow, while the man who knocks advertising is a dried-up irascible person? The day is 'ap proaching when a line will be drawn between the two classes of business men, and the advertiser will be patro nized by those citizens who believe in happiness through' enconomy and mu tual prosperity.

Von Oshen and Smoak. DEATH OP MR. ENNIS. Foil Particulars of jthe Accident That Caused It. His friends in Orangeburg were shocked when they|" heard" of the death of Capt. I. R. Ennis, who, with hip""excellent famiiy;,* at one time lived in this city, and where his remains were laid on last Tuesday beside loved ones who had preceded him to the better world. Capt. En nis lost h}s life by an accident, which the following special dispatch to the Augusta Chronicle from Athens, Ga., near wlhere it occured fully describes: "The accident occurred Saturday evening, and Capt. Ennis was car ried to Athens from Oglesby, c small station near Elberton, and was hur ried to St. Mary's hospital, where he died after every attention Jiad been paid him and every effort made to 3ave his life. He had completed the first days superintendency of work since his vacation. The bridge gang was engaged in putting down a num ber of large piles. As the work train came down the track Capt. En nis was standing between the rails. The accident occurred on the firpt day he returned to work as superin tendent of the construction work on the Seaboard Air Line railway. "He stepped aside and as there was nothing but the restle he step ped off the track and onto the bat tered end of one of the tremendous piles which was being driven?the end of the timber being then fully thirty feet above the ground of the ravine below. He then had to stoop to allow the passage of the train. When he thought the train had pass ed him he raised his shoulders and the last steps of the car struck him with just enough force to cause him to lose his balance and fall to the jagged rocks near the bottom of the ravine. He was fearfully bruised, cut and gaslhed, and had several bones broken." Capt. Ennis was a native of Mich igan, but had lived in the South for many years. He was connected with the SouthernJ Railway for several years, and during that time lived in Branchville and Orangeburg. After leaving the Southern Railway, Capt. Ennis was connected with a railway in South America. He was an ex cellent man, and his untimely death is regretted by many friends. His wife and children are now resident of Asheville, N. C.

How He Settled It. A Chinaman, dying left eleven sheep and three sons; and making a will, left one-half of his estate to his eldest son. one-fourth to the next, and one-sixth to the third son. They wished to divide without killing a sheep but could not see how to do it, so they sent for a wise lawyer. Send ing to his own for a sheep he put it with the eleven. Now take your half?six. said he to the eldest, and he did so; the second your fourth? three: the youngest take your sixth? two and "begone: and they did so, when the wise lawyer drove his own sheep back home. Was the division according to the law? Good Settlement Made. The annual settlement between the Comproller general and the auditor of Orangebumr County was had Thursday between Charlton W. Saw yer, representing Comptroller Gen eral Jones and T. M. McMichael, au ditor of Orangeburg county. The settlement was effected and every thing was found to be in an excellent condition. Give Him a Lift. If an article falls from the place where it was put we instinctively put forth our hand to check its fall and to replace it. In like manner and with even greater desire we should put forth our fraud to support a fel low being who shows symptoms of falling morality. BELIEVES IX KING OOTTOX. Watson Does Not Think There Will Be Over 13,000,000 Bales. Commissioner E. J. Watson, like many of us, does not believe in the absurd fraudulent prediction made by some fakdr. connected with the National Agricultural Department that the cotton crop of this year will reaoh over 14,000,000 bales. He thinks the farmers will receive a splendid price for their cotton if they maintain their supremacy by market ing the crop dn a sane method. Mr. Watson is "unquestionably one of the greatest authorities in the country on the situation, for he not only takes in South Carolina, nor the cotton belt, but he goes to Europe co ascertain conditions there. He states that the cotton crop this year cannot exceed 13,000,000 bales and with deterioration which may be ex pected, it will fall considerably under that figure. Mr. Watson says the condition of the European spinners is such that they will have to have cotton and have it in great quantities. He states that with such conditions confronting them they will have to pay the price demanded by southern farmers. In addition to this Mr. Watson says that crop conditions over the whole belt are not ideal and that even with pres ent seasons South Carolina will not make more than 1,300,000 bales, which is a little more than last sea son. Mr. Watson says South/ Carolina will make almost enough corn to sup ply the local needs, notwithstanding the backset the drought gave the ear ly planted corn. He thinks this is a great thing for a certain belt State, like South Carolina, to do. All our farmers have to do is to sit steady in the boat and market the cotton crop slowly and it will bring good prices. COLORED FOLKS PICNIC. Have Enjoyable Time at Mount Zion ("hutch.?Residence Burned. iBowman, S. C. July 26, Special? The colored farmers of this section held a huge picnic at Mount Zion church near Bowman on last Fri day. An immense crowd was pres ent. The principal speaker was Prof. Cyrus Campfield, of Voorhees Industrial Institute at Denmark. He gave his large audience some plain facts for their consideration which will doubtless bear much fruit to their edification. After the speach of Prof. Camfield, came the dinner with eatables of every description, comparing favorably in this line with the public picnics and other gather ings all over the country. . The negroes of this section are in the main law abiding people, many, of whom have accumulated real es tate and homes of their own. Some thing like 4,000 acres of land are owned in this section by them with I comfortable dwellings thereon, good sock, including horses, mules, cattle and hogs, and are now being blessed with the best crops this section has ever produced. Much credit is certainly due them for their financial condition, which Is far su perior to that of a few years ago. Dr. D. E: Connor lost his dwelling here by fire about 1 o'clock yester day morning saving very little of the furniture. The fire was first dis covered near the kitchen. Cause of fire not known.

Mr. Dick Kirk land was knocked unconscious one night recently and was found later in that condition. It is not known who struck him. He was taken to the hospital at once. W. C. G. Requires Careful Study. The Galea Times says "a mer chant can try to get along without advertising and a man can wink at a .sirl in the dark?but what good does it do?" There is some sense in that remark, when one thinks it over care fully. Honest advertis'i.t, in the proper mediums 'has neyer yet failed to pay dividends, according to the amount invested: but advertising, to be successful must be given the same careful study that a merchant give to the other details of his business?it should not be done in a haphazard way.
