A New Aid Fable.
This is not a George Aid fable,
though it may sling some slang.
Once there was a Geezer, who
sat around and cut Kindling too
small for Cook Stove purposes.
He Whittled against Time and
Flfoergasted against his Town.
The town was No Good, he said?
strictly on the Blink. Yes, it
was N. G. Why, hadn't he lived

Look at that town over in the
next County. Grown like Jonah's
Gourd. Must be a Jonah here.
We ve grown some, but I don't
see that we're knocking any particularly
Big Persimmons.
That's the way this Gazaboo
knocked his tewn.
One day a Sarcastic Stranger
floated into the Town that was
Knocked from the burg that had |
Blossomed like Jonah's Gourd.
He Heard some of the Flabbergasting
and Dropped to the situation.
"Look here, you," he remarked
to the citizen who was handing
out the Knocks. "What do
you do for this town? Are you
doing your part to put this Burg
on the Upgrade? What's that
hefty.Bunch of literature stick-1
ing out of your Clothes?" |

^ - Famous
Frigate Constitution to
Be Exhibited at the Jamestown
Exhibition.
Norfolk, Va. ? A report received
from the Charleston Navy
Yard, Boston, Mass., states that
the famous old sea fighter, the
"Constitution," is now undergoing
repairs subsequent to a visit
to the Jamestown Exposition, to
be held on the shores of Hampton
Roads. The vessel has been
in the Charleston Navy Yard
, since October 1897, where she
was towed froM Portsmouth, N.
H., and owing to many years
nAffldit' if ttt! 11 Krt ?ii J

summer before she will be able
to join in the grand naval pagantry,
that will be on display during
the period of the Jamestown
Exposition-^ ^ OpX&
Constitution, but a movement is
on foot to collect the many souvenirs
and equippment taken
from the vessel at various times,
so that she will have as near as
possible her original appearanca
The Constitution is 175 feet in
length and 42 feet in width, with
a normal load draught of 1970
tons. No ship of ancient or modern
type has had such a glorious
career as the Constitution.
Such was the uniformity of
her success that the British
Admiralty ordered that the En- j
glish frigates should not tight
| her unless they mot hor in force. |
On August 10th, 1*12, she fought
the Guorriero for four hours,
leaving the later a total wreck,
which could not even he brought
into port as a prize. Under Commodore
Bainbridge off the coast
of Brazil in December <>f the same
year she captured the British
Frigate Java after a short tight.
Again off Cape Verde Islands in
a tight that lasted less than an
hour,* the Constitution, under
Captain Stewart, captured both
the Frigate Gyanc and the Sloop
Licvant, although those ships
were far superior to the Constitution.
In the midst of the modern
warships of the representative
countries of the world, old "Iron
Sides" anchored in historic
Hampton Roads will be one of
the most interesting and educational
exhibits of the exposition.

Does Advertising Pay?
Bradstreet is a recognized authority
and he states that nearly
80 per cent, of the failures in
business are by concerns that do
not advertise and yet there are
business men right here in Cheraw
who openly assert that advertising
don't pay.
Now for example, a country
paper is read by thousands of
people throughout the country,
by men and women who are the
backbone of the country, they
read and read and read carefully
evefy line, and lots of times they
are attracted to stores by the advhrfinomanfa

which reflectstlie enterprise and
progress of a city." Your paper
has exchanges in every part of
the State and also sends papers
to other states, and the outer
world has an eye on your city.
The editor of your paper observes
the exchanges and he can
te)l you what towns are doing
the business, by the kind and
manner of the advertisements of
its business men. Again, if you
would employ a man to visit,
weekly, and toll a few hundred /
people throughout your country
what you have to sell, it. would
cost you infinitely more than to
toll it through your homo papers.
