IN JAIL AND IN THE GRAVE.
On last Wednesday night an enraged oolored
woman fired a pistol under the cover of
darkness, but missed the "one" she Intended
to shoot, but "got the other" who fell mortally
wounded and died a few days thereafter.
iSo that one is in the grave and three
women and one man now languish behind
the bars of the Abbeville Jail. Only a few
days before this a oolored man at Latimer
_ Station shot and killed a negro boy for wblch
be now awaits trial behind the bars. 'Tls
bad enough that so many men oarry pistols, t
but when It comes to women carrying con- ?
oealed weapons we think it is high time to l
to rigidly enforce the law against such aots, 1
for a pistol in the bands of an infuriated wo- t
man is a dangerous thing. The, enforcement r
of this good law is too low and should be *
looked after more rigidly. There are too
many pistols slung around these days for the b
peace and dignity of soolety and State at t
Urge.

Burr trover.
In answer to many inquiries about
>urr clover, say, some 25 years ago I
>ougbt one bushel of seed at $5.00 per
>ushel. I planted a rich place from
his, obtained seed to enlarge my
)atches. I consider it the best investment
for ihe money I ever made,
ts one seeding will last a lifetime oy
afeing stock off April 1 so it may reeed
itself. Easily exterminated when
lesired. Burr clover and Bermuda
jrass will withstand more tramping
ind hard using than anything I have
sver seen planted. Burr clover
ihould be sown in September. Prepare
the land as for wueat, sow the
)urrs ; do not cover, as the rains will
>eat it in the soil. Can gather it from
December to April 1, when it goes to
ieed by June 1, then up comes the
Bermuda to furnish pastorage until
winter. The two combiDe finely and
10 not conflict with each other on
lame land. Cows, sheep, hogs and
jhickens are fond of the clover after
hey once get the taste of it. A few
fears ago I gave a neighbor seed to
iow. After doing bo he told me nohing
would eat it and was thinking
>f plowing it up. I insisted to let it
tand for one year, as it was perhaps
ike a man eating his first oysters?
ifter once getting the taste was ever
ifter fond of them. So after a few
lays he came by, hailed me. saying,
11 am due you an apology, for I cau
lot keep my stock off the clover, even
ireaking down my lot fence to get.it."
50 this is the experience with many,
rhe longer you have it the better you
ike it. Your scrub cow fed on burr
:lover will give as golden color butter
\s your finest Jersey. I have just
inished breaking my clover patch to
ilant late corn. So you see I get two
Tops every year?a winter ana spring
rop for stock, then a late corn crop
or man and beast. I have pursued
htfl nlon fr\t* vooro t tvaiim urluiup
very one who has clay lands to olaut
place for his stock.

We talk fluently about independent*

^ how well a window may be arranged
1 it is not good enough to remain in1
definitely. If you are making a specj
ial drive on certain lines, give prominence
to the same articles in your window
display, and always, always, have
easily-seen price tickets attached to
* each article.
!* Did you ever stand in the street oute
side a weil-dres.--ed show window? If
e not, do so. Notice the number of peoa
pie who pass,it, nearly every one give
ing a glance at it, and manv slopping
r a 1$inter ovui> imitinn. Manv. in
" deed, enter the shop and enquire about
the goods ; many others will do so
' later, when they have more time at
0 their disj osal.
t Some of those passing may not have
" seen the firm's newspaper ads ; others
- have already noticed the ads and the
ft stock in the window should be chosen
t so as to back up the statements made
' in the advertising. The windows
v should be a "clincher" which will conS
vince the doubters. Never, never,
display old style goods in the wius
dows, no matter how low the price
marks, unless you wish to drive away
the better cla*s of trade. If you wish
to get rid of the out-of date goods,
work them off on country customers
or others who are not particular
p about style, telling them frankly that
a the goods are of a previous season's
[, make, and therefore sold at a low
price.
I said at the beginning of this artide
that good window display was
only secondary to good newspaper advertising.
Do you notice in how
? many particulars the same principles
? govern the two kinds of advertising'/
A few lines advertised at a time; the
. advertisement or window display
changed often ; artistic and attractive
displays; poods prominently priced.
All the difference there is, while in
1 the ad, one must give word pictures
2 of the goods, often accompanying
,r them by cuts : in the window adveri
tisement the goods speak for them?
selve-. See that they have every opf
portuuity to speak coijvincinely.
Byron Howard
Kecking a C'uNtoiner.
Every man in business is looking
!" for some one to buy everything he
e carries iu stock. He is anxious to get
some one interested in every article.
When the goods have been put on tbe
shelves he is at ouce interested in Kectting
them out of stock and into other
r. nands, and the sooner he gels the
e goods into a customer's hands the betI*
ter is the movement as a business
o venture. The profit may not be as
? great as tbe merchant would make
were lie to bold the goods for many
months, but he would then perhaps,
e take chauees on tUeir selling at a profit
at all. The best way therefore, to
w get the customer is to be after him
early, and get him into the interesting
part" of the conversation with re'erence
to values and stocks, and keep
s the matter interesting until the customer
appreciates the good to* be oblp
taintd now and the advantage of bu3'?
ing now. Most merchants really un"
derstand these points ami are auxious
? to unload as fast as they can after
I, loading up. They want to fill their
stock with good things ami the" are
anxious to get the goods iuto the hands
1 of the appreciative in the community.
l" A good article is the stock makes the
3 stock look better; but a good article
sold to a good customer widens the
audience of appreciative purchasers
y and gives the store a speaking friend
s who will say where she got the goods
and how good she thinks they are.
In planning for business therefore, a
necessity is to have the stock that will
" please the customer' and, haviug the
article, to get its appreciative features
before the people as early as possible.
r Tell as many good points of the art
tide as is possible, and keep the people
interested all through the season
to insure their buying. Jf talking of
the attractiveness of the goods will
not sell them, the quality ought to be
improved so that the people would be
s more willing to come in and buy.
The quick sale helps to make a fair
r profit and tbe man who has the stock
t to offer and who Is able to tell about
" it attractively and temptingly will
get bis profit without delay.

j The Japanese are a most interesting
J people, and one of their good qualities
is their love for flowers and children.
They have flowers everywhere, and
1r\iro trv eric* hoontifiil fhituru iirniitwl
i, them.
i The children ia Japan are taught to
1 mind their parents, and not to cry for
. every little hurt or trouble. But they
e have good times just like American
l" children. Their game* are, many of
them, like ours, aud one of the chief
sports is kite flying. Their kites are
t shaped like birds, and sometimes like
animals or men.
The little babies are carried on the
backs of the grown people or larger
1 children. .They are fastened by bands
3 of cloth tied around the breast. The
big boys aud girls take care of their
baby brothers and sisters in this way.
How would some of you like to do
lf this? I'wonder how the baby likes to
u be carried this way by a big boy who
- is running bard to keep his kite up in
^ the air? It must shake hint up a good
jt deal. The big children get so ?ccus
f tomed to having the baby with them
that they forget he is there most of the
e time, and they do not let him interfere
? with their play.

Tho Delivery System. | |
Kvery merchant tries to engage the] J
very best help his money will obtain. L
It's the general rule. He looks to|
their moral, social, physical ami men- '
tnl diiiilit if?s. then haliincinir bv iren
eral appearance*, comes to a conclusion
that sets his mind at ease. It's ihe
practical way to do; measure the
value in money by the possible value <
in service. This is his standard.
As a system, it should be extended
to every departmens in which you employ
help. How often it is the prac- ,
tiee to require a high standard of
youi employes until it conies down to
what you term "a necessary evil."
The delivery department. Well, you
say, ',1 can't nfford to pay more than |
three or live dollars a week to a delivery
man, and don't expect superexceileuce
at that figute." You compromise
on some boy (who should be
in school?all good boys are in school.)
You may find a mau who will work at
the price until he is ofrered 50c. more
on the week, then he's off'! You're
out, anu the business lags until you
can break in some one.
Have you not made a mistake?
Let's pee.
In the spirit of modern publicity,
the delivery man is your walking-talking
ad. Can't get away from it. He's
seen by your patrons and those who
are not?every day?commented upon
?asked questions you might wish him
able to answer intelligently. He can
sour a customer on your store or leave
a business breeding impression.
Rather an important sort of fellow,
iB he not ?
Use your standard on (his man by all
means. There is good timber available
at fair prices. Make him feel your interest
in h'm* Tel' a thing or
two now and then?diplomatically
sensoned. Watch him assume the
confidential air, so essential to push.
He'll get down to business?make
friends?bring you in nollarn. Try
it. It's a live issue.?W, E. Repass.
