JULY 24. 1913. Parcel Peat and Tha Merchant. The announcement in Sunday's pa pers that the parcel post service would be improved and extended, the pro posed change to take effect August 15th, caused some Barnwell merchants to throw up their hands and bewail the passing of the small town merchant. Now as we see it the parcel post can be made either an instrument of good or a weapon of destruction for the merchants of the smaller towns It is quite true that the system opens up broader paths for mail order business, and goodness knows there has slreadi been enough money sent swsy from Barnwell County to the mail order houses of the North and N* r%t Hu! here • the point Instead of sitting down and bemoaning their fate sh, don t these merchants wake up take time by the forelock and g«> after that business that they are so tamely sur rendering' They ha*e the remed* advertiaiag The mail order houses get their t ast amount of business m » through the medium of advertising They 4a avf send out salesmen to solicit orders *re#% their customers The truble •ilh our house mrrrnanls h that thee do not use printer s ink ill auffMIUUt quantities and when w* i makj that autrment it is not «.th an 9J9 atngte to increasing our adver tiaiaf patronage although sM^pnfeaa that w * would not object to fffe sale of B buadrad i»ch^ of *pac* The t^l M in on a braath that ad doean t pay *** lB tb « >rr 7 next that the mail order bouses havf ruined business by scattering cats loguee and circular! broad cast through out the country Isn »(Hsi advertising' Certainly It U.

Then the wages of • boy ur girl to fold Ind insert the circulars in the envelopes and then addraa* them must be paid. We do not know just what this w’ould Cost, but we will put it at $1.50, which is entirely tdo low. That gives us a total of $15.00 to reach 1,000 people. A large, percentage of these will imme diately throw the “circular letter” into the waste basket when they see the one cent stamp. Now, that same space in The People, when taken at the 500-inch contract price, will cost just $1.40 an issue; that i», for one-tenth of the amount spent in sending out 1,000 circular let ters you can give your message to the same number of people through the columns of The People. Isn’t 'that something to consider, Mr. Merchant? You have a splendid opportunity awaiting you if you are only, progressive enough to get out of your flit and grasp it Advertising is the key to the whole •It is very dry but we hope to get rain soon The crops are looking very sorry on account of the continued dry weather,” writes the White Town correspondent of the Edgefield Adver tiser. Without sny change whatever that paragraph would have suited al most any section of the State last week. — “S Dr. Alsberg, the successor to Dr. Wiley, the pure food expert, among other things prescribed for summer comfort, says, “Don’t wear too many clothes.” The Doctor certainly must have been speaking to the men, as that advice is unnecessary for the women —with the present day fashions. And what has become of the old- fashioned farmer, who, with generous hospitality, always remembered the editor with luscious watermelons, cantaloupes and peaches in the good old summer time? CO. E, 3RD REGIMENT, RETURNED SATURDAY Barnwell Guards Cut Short Their Stay at Encampment in Aiken. Although the Barnwell Guards, Co. E, Third Regiment, N. G. S. C., left Thursday morning for Aiken, expecting to stay on encampment eight days, stragglers from the company began to arrive in Barnwell Saturday morning and when the six o'clock tram arrived that evening the entire company was back It seems that the company left Barn well with thirty-four men, four short of the number required by law When the soldier boys reached Aiken, Cap! Harley found that tbe-offiyers in charge had ruled that all companies had to ar rive in camp with the full numt>er of officers and privates in order to reave any part of fund appropriated to defray exjwnses They were gnen their choice of returning home or remaining in camp at their own r\[>enxr ('apt Marie) offered to pay all rxfwn^es "f the Harnwr!! c<>m|»any if they w.,uld »tav but the men would not agr, »• to this l onwqumt.v. when .Saturday dawned atx>ut half of the men were • >n their w a> home •••me of 'h, m f * •aid making the trip in tr-^r I'l’an'-v »t i e Ad'%!*atrhf-'>m A i W er t • tr r A ig i Chronicle had the ' ■ • ng to va . -i regard to the return .>' thr ee , o.-n p*r ir » of the N a’lona 1 i uar J Mil**#?

Merchants and others are warned that bills contracted by Captain and Guards of the Chaingang will not be approved unless it is shown that they had proper authority for contracting same. Promiscuous repairing of roads and bridges must be stopped. No warrant against the funds of any towuship will be approved unless it is shown that the claimant had the proper authority for doing the work. The amount approoriated by the General Assembly for certain accounts has been exaustea. No further claims against these accounts will be approved. Our action in this matter is based on the following section of the supply bill for this county: “Provided, further, no contracts shall be made, accounts approved, no war rants drawn in excess of the appropria tions herein, without the approval of the delegation to the General Assembly first obtained under the penalty imposed by section 532 of the Criminal Code, Vol 2, 1912. .

Open criticism of the adjutant gen eral is heard on the street. The people of Aiken, especially the business people, made extensive plans for the entertain ment of the soldier boys, subscribing the money out of their own pockets, and they plainly feel that they have not been treated with any more considera- tibn than were the three companies Sent home, because in the case of the Orangeburg company, it lacked only two men of having the required number of men. While they will not talk on the mat ter—and could not with dignity discuss their views—it is evident that the offi- cers of the regiment feel that Adjutant General Moore is enforcing the letter rather than the spirit of the military law. Aiken people in close touch with the situation attribute the action of the adjutant general to his recent unpleas ant rupture over South Carolina Mili tary affaire with the governor. For S*l«.

COULD SCARCELY WALK ABOUT tad For Three Sommers Mrs. Vin cent Was Unable to Attend to Any of Her Housework. Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“I suffered for three summers," writes Mrs. Walter Vincent, of this town, “and the third and last time, was my worst. I had dreadful nervous headaches and prostration, and was scarcely able to walk about. Could not do any of my housework. I also had dreadful pains in my back and sides and when one of those weak, sinking spells would come on me, 1 would have to give up and lie down, until it wore off. I was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when 1 finally decided to try Cardui. the woman’s tonic, and I firmly believe I would have died If I hadn’t taken it. After I began taking Cardui, I was greatly helped, and all three bottles re lieved me entirely. I fattened up, and grew so much stronger in three months, 1 felt like an other person altogether." Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle- acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic effect, on the womanly constitution, Cardui makes for increased strength, improves the appetite, tones up the ner vous system, and helps to make pale, sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy. Cardui has helped more than a million weak women, during the past 50 years. It will surely do for you, what.it has done for them. Try Cardui today. Write to: Ch.tl.noac* Mfdlcln.
