THE READING OF ADVERTISEMENTS In the Intelligencer Will Yield You HandtOmo Return. If you were offered fifty cents in real money to read all the ads- in the Intelligencer every day, you would accept the offer immediately, for fear that the offer would be with drawn. " There is not a single day passes, but that the Intelli gencer contains ads. which would afford you the opportunity of saving a dollar or so, on goods that you could use to advantage. ( No doubt the life insurance agent tried several times to get an audience with you, to tell you the benefits of in surance before you would allow him the CHANCE to do you and your family a tremendous favor- You realize NOW, that while this life insurance agent made money for himself, he certainly did you a good turn, "when he finally sold you your life insurance. You would read all the ads- in each issue of the In telligencer, if you were CONVINCED that it would pay you, wouldn't you? I wish to do you as great a favor as the life insurance agent, who sold you your insurance, so please read the fol lowing reasons, and then think over the matter: Why do manufacturers of the very best known articles of commerce continue to advertise their goods? Why is it that the most successful retailers and de partment stores spend a great amount of money every day advertising their goods in the newspapers? There is but one answer and that is:?"IT IS , THE CHEAPEST KNOWN METHOD OF SELLING GOODS." Advertising will increase the volume of business of any article of commerce that has REAL MERIT; if its an article without merit, the. less advertising the better for the retailer. The biggest problem of the retailer is the sale of his goods; he can handle the other branches with much less trouble, because with his knowledge of the lines of mer chandise that he proposes to sell, he can buy his goods with safety, then comes the arrangement of his stock and the location of his store, and his store fixtures. That brings him up to the opening of his place of busi ness; he is now ready to begin business. Please remark that?HE IS NOW READY TO BE GIN BUSINESS; He has bought the very best goods for the money that he could buy/ in order to be able to sell them at a profit. And most any person with average intelligence can buy goods as cheaply as another. Now the merchant is ready to sell goods?that's the NUT that he must crack before he succeeds. He must sell ENOUGH goods at a profit to take care of his RENT, LIGHT, ICE, FUEL, DELIVERY, TAXES, INSURANCE and the COST OF SELLING, viz: WINDOW TRIMMING, CLERK HIRE and ADVERTISING. , You see that the bigger the volume of business that he gets the less it costs him to sell goods. You see that, don't you? His OVERHEAD expense is about the same per year, whether he sells $20,000 or $5o.ooo, so if he can Increase his sales $30,000 by a judicious expenditure for newspaper advertising, he will make more money, won't he? And on an increased volume of business, he can afford to sell to YOU, Mr. Consumer, on a much smaller per cent of profit. See that? AU this being true, it is money in your pocket to buy ONLY advertised goods; in fact, when you buy an unad vertised article, you are boosting the price on yourself. It will pay you well, to read the ?ds. in the Intelli gencer daily. SASSEEN, THE AD MAN. CONTRIBUTIONS ?

Details of the killing of a negro named Lawson Gaillard by Truman Wilbur, constable for Magistrate A. M. Guyton of the Hopewell section, last Saturday morning, which occur red in a negro house near the Ander son-Oconee county line, when the offi cer attempted to arrest the negro on an old warrant, were not known in the city until 6 o'clock Sunday morning, when Coroner Hardin and Deputy Sheriff J. OUn Sanders returned from holding an Inquest. Late Saturday af ternoon the sheriff's office was notified that a killing had occurred in the Hopewell section and the coroner and deputy Bheriff left here about five o'clock. At that time they knew none of tho particulars of the case. It seems, that Constable Wilbur and a friend, T. O. Trammell, were out hunting Saturday morning when the former was advised that Lawsou Gail lard, who had been a fugitive for something like a year, was back in that section and at the home of one Dock . Hurts. The constable at once went to the home of Hurts and advised Gaillard that be had a warrant for him. When the constable asked Gail lard to come with him, the latter re fused to go, it is said. The constable went into the house after the negro, it is said, and Gailllard drew a knife on him. When told to put up tho knile, it was testified at the Inquest, the negro refused, declaring that It was his knife, that he paid for it and would use it as he saw fit. The officer attempted to take the knife from the negro, it is reported, when the latter advanced into another room,where he picked up a double barrel shot gun and pointed it at the officer. Constable Wilbur had a single bar rel shot gun with which be had been hunting, and when he saw Gaillard raise his gun, the officer fired upon the negro. The load of shot struck the negro in the top of the head and mutilated him terribly. It appeared that the officer did not have time to get his gun to his shoulder before firing, this being evident from the manner in which the load of shot struck the negro. There were but three witnesses to the affair, T. O. Trammell and Dock Burts and his wife. Tho testimony of all three substantiated the statement of the officer. Coroner Hardin receiv ed word of the killing late Saturday afternoon and he and Deputy Sheriff Sanders eet out for tho scene of the affair, arriving yiere about 9 o'clock. A Jury was empaneled and the inquest held, a verdict being returned to the? effect that the negro came to his death from gunshot wounds at the hands: of Wilbur. The officers reached Anderson on the return trip about 5 o'clock Sunday morning. The killing occurred on Mr. Sam Reeve's plantation, about 11 o'clock Saturday. morning. Mr. Wilbur is about 23 years of age and the son of a well known farmer of that section. He and his father came to the city yesterday afternoon to confer with Solicitor Smith with reference to the constable obtaining bond. Mil8. \Y. A. Hr,DGEN8, Editor . Phono 87.

December, 1914;, ONE BRIDEGROOM GOES TO PRISON?THE OTHER TO THE FARM BRIDES TOO YOUNG How Judge Broadwell Pacified the Turbulent Feelings of Fathcr-in-Lsw. Harsh clanging of prison doors up on a bridegroom within less than an hour after he bad led a blushing dam sel of tender years to Hymen's altar, is the cruel ending of a little romance which had its inception two years ago in the youth taking up his resi dence in the iass' home. Arrest your grief at this point, gen tle reader, for another tale of similar hue, but which came to a happy end ing. A bridegroom of but two days, upon whose head an irate father-in law had threatened to visit the law, is today located upon a large farm, with a good, young mule to engage his attention, instead of in the cotton mill, with a whirring loom to All his cars and demand his constant atten tion. These two little romances, the one ending so tragically and the other so happily, came to light yesterday In the court of Magistrate Broadwell. And it is owing to his common sense and good judgment that the bridegroom whoso romance ended so happily, is not keeping company with the bride groom who is languishing behind pris on bars. Married in Greenville. Yesterday morLlng a stern old man and a meek, tender-eyed old lady came into Magistrate Broodwell's office. The old man Informed the judge that he wanted a warrant for a young white fellow who had stolen his only child, a girl of some 15 year, and married her. The old fellow's name is Pearson and ho owns a large farm near Pelzer. The couple had but one cbild, and she was the idol of the old father's heart and the apple of the mother's eye. The old couple seemed heart broken over the affair, and what appears to grlevp them more was the manner In which the daughter had surprised them. The old man Bald that he and his wife had been in Greenville, where the conple hsd gone to get the license and marry, and were told that they-should get the warrant in Anderson. This was evidently a ruse on the part of the Greenville officers to avoid having anything to do with the matter. The father averred that the bridegroom had been to see his daughter but twice and that she had gotten but two letters from him. He came armed with his Bible and was ready to show tho magistrate the justice of h?? puni tion. Judge Advises. When the old man had finished his tale Judge Broadwell had a few words to say. He stated that he had known the bridegroom, a Mr. Stone, for a number of years, and knew him to be an industrious and God fearing man and in every reBpeet worthy of the hand of any daughter in the com munity. He advised the parents to leave the couple alone, as uny inter ference with their happiness might spell ruin for both. The old man be gan to g-ow interested in the judge's words, ana the expression on the face of the good old lady began to change. When tue judge explained that prob ably the girl told the young man that she vas IK years of age (the legal uge) and that maybe he could not make a charge of false swearing against the bridegroom, the old man bristled up and shouted, "No, sir, my daughter is a Christian girl and she would not tell a lie." Judge Hroadweil reasoned that that was all true, but wurned tho old fel low that when it came to matters of the heurt a little white lie about such a thing ks a girl's age might not bo considered an unchristian act. Ono more the old man's head nodded In assent. But' the master stroke by the Judge was v>Y\vn he asked the old man this, "Sir, how old was your wife when you were married." When tho old lady replied that she was between 16 and 17, the judgo mused, "There now, you would prosecute this young man for doing the same thlnr for which you yourself would have been prosecuted hud the marriage license law existed at that time." All? Well That Kuds Well. Tills ahot from the magistrate com pletely routed the old man. Hut the magistrate wps not through. Yet an other volley 1 fired In these words, "Now, I teli you what you do. You and the old lady go ovAer yonder and take dinner with your daughter and Bon-ln-law; treat them nice, and sug gest to the young man that he go back to tho farm with you and help comfort you and the old lady In your declining years, and let him go before you und make the rough places smooth." The words of the magistrate went horn':, tor the old fellow came back at tho judge with his, "By George, 1 hadn't thought of that. I've got a spanking good pair of young mules back home and I'll simply take that fellow back to my farm and put him to ploughing. Come on, Hon', let's go have dinner with the children." This EndH Badly. Scarcely had this old couple de parted when another irate father ap proached the magistrate and asked for a warrant for one Anderson Spear man, a young white man working in the Brogon mill, who had just left with his 15 year old daughter, Fannie Thomerson. The father was of the im pression that the couple were going to marry and go off on the 6 o'clock train for Seneca. A warrant was has tily drawn up and given to Deputy Williams, who surprised the cduple in about an hour after they had been married by the Bev. Scutty White, who paused in his labors in the Bro gon mill long enough to tie the knot It seems that Spearman came to the house of the girl some two yesrs ago to board. The two years of living un der th? same roof served to drat? them one toward the other, resulting lu their elopemer^ yesterday. NEW YORK.
