ADVERTISING
T T-? .. 1 .
Is Essential to
the Upbuilding
of the Modern -j
Business Enterprise i
i
To the publicity gained by the use
ol the advertising columns ol the pa- j
pers is attributed the growth and ]
consequent success ol a very large <
percentage ol the great enterprises ol I '
the present day.
Advertising is recognized as the
prime factor in increasing the sales
ot any class of goods or manufactured (
article.
The space used in this paper is |
your business message to the public, . 1
in this open letter you should tell
them the merits of what you are offering,
setting forth the reasons why
your particular line is worthy of their
attention. jj <
As to Advertising I (
Costs in |
The Chronicle I;
The average busi ess man when g
figuring with the ad. man for space I 3 j
does not look at anything but the '
amount of money to be ^spent for so '
much space in the paper. Usually
he feels it costs too much.
Let us figure wit you lo a mo- I H ,
ment. ?
Take as an example the mailing <
of circular letters or booklets. ' The *
- ;
postage alone will be either 51U.UU I s
or $20.00 per thousand. This does I I ^
? Qui 11I'II'it pi jj; JW-- '
are sending out, the labor, etc. At I |
the lowest estimate each booklet or I t
, letter will cost you 3c or 4c before it j| '
reaches its destination, $
Now figure on Chronicle space. 3
For example, say your space costs i r
you $10 per month. This paper I ?
goes into at least 2,000 homes in | i
Chesterfield, Marlboro and Anson ^
counties and is read by from one to &
live persons in ea h. On a basis of I B
2.UUU il will cosl you only Z l-Z cent j
per 1.000 a-id the message is sent ev- I j
ery week lor one month lor this a (
amount. I hc argument thus set forth | t
is obvious. 01 course large space M
increases the cost per capita, but your 1 .
message is larger and more prominent. | ^
Tke I j
Cheraw Chronicle I
has increased ils local circulation our- j
ing the past year and the results from ^
the space used by ad\ ertisers are I
gratifying to them and to the paper. 1
It reaches into the homes ol the best | s
class ol our people and your message | p
will be placed in the hands ol H
those with money to buy the goods S v
you wish to sell. 8 The
space rates in The Chronicle I I
are not high. Your message is car- j
ried, each week, to those you wish to -j |
reach in the most economical manner. j [

The place that gives a man his ]
living is entitled to his best efforts
to advance everything calculated
to benefit the place and ?
the community. No man has a '
right to live in a live town who '
seeks to enrich himself and not I
ictively identify himself with its <
interests, to oe ciassea as a
J rone or chronic kicker and opposed
to ever.v measure bblieved '
to be for tho good of the citizens i
is a stigma that should attach to
110 man iu the corporation. The
imptovemeuts necessary to be
made and the manner of making 1
tliem a monument to the enterprise
and intelligence of the eitisens
is the duty each person owes
to the place in which he live9.
So mau has a right to block legislation
in his town simply because
he is not personally benefitted
by the proposed improveinents
or perchance may have to |
pay a little toward it, for in the
ind it will no doubt have proven,
i wise proceeding. Let all join
in any movemeut calculated to
better our little city iu the year ^
L'JIO, and trust the results will (
justify the action and meet the r
Highest anticipations for a prosjctuus
future. '

Those So-Called Carnival Companies.
The Mayors of many South
Carolina towns have learned,
what The Chronicle tried hard to
conrinee our town authorities,
that the interests of their municipalities
cannot be promoted
by licensing so-called carnival
companies. Their view of the
matter is generally commended
by the newspapers of their res
pective towns. The small amount
of revenue which is derived from
normiffinrr I ho nnorufmn no r
^V. A Iiiivuiu^ Hiu upci uviwu V/1 v. (ii
nival companies is more than off
sat by the unimpaired linaucial
and moral status of the town
which prohibits them. Many of
the alleged carnival companies ?
several of whieh have visited
Cheraw and aoid their wares
here?do not furnish entertainment
which is either pleasing or
entertaining. Instead h is so
such hovdtnish dri.el that is
not worth the patronage of people
who lay claim to a discriminating
degree of intelligence. It
is not only diegusting but often
indec' nt, and in cities could not
command the patronage of the
more intelligent class of negroes.
We are particularly interested in
the welfare of Cheraw, financially,
morally aud otherwise. No
carnival company which has ever
visited Cheraw has done the town
any good. They have carried
away from the town a considerable
amount of money which was
taken from the people under false
pretenses, iu that they did not
give value received.
They have been allowed to operate
gambling games in open
violation of both State and town
laws and no move has bean made
to hold the promoters to account.
We do not n*ed carnival coin;tnnlp<a
in t,hi?a town and Tho
'hrooicle voice# the sentiment of
he better part ?f the community
io expressing the hope that no
such organization will be allowed
to show here in the future.

vice to the farmers and very good
as far as it goes, but the real
thing?the proper teaching?consists
in example rather than precept.
Drop for an instance &
real wide a-wake, hustling farm
er down in & section of lazy, ignorant
men and it it won't be long
before .vou will see Jim Smith,
John Parker and others get to
their feet and a real blessing will
have accrued. The fact is we
have in all the avocations of life h
few ?precious few?o r i g i n a 1
characters. These men are the
ones upon whom the burden of
lif-i falls and to whom only,
we may look f??r light and counsel
in time of need.
Rome enacted her Sumptuary
Laws?Lex Oppia, Lex Julia,
etc., and France and England folio
ved it up, all without the least
apparent success. We must agitate,
reformats, and finally "relate"
and it must come via reading
and (object lesson. If anybody
be hungry let him hustle and
sconomiJe and his circumfereuce
twill soon have regained its natjral
proportions. If just frightened,
don't be uneasy, necessity
s but the matter of invention.
Somebody, (some original one)
will soon smoothe it all out.
Yes, it is all good advice to

lesson is the better two in
