Selling is easy if the prices are right. A large saving makes a wide circle of attention possible. A good business man knows what to say in au advertisement. Goods should give satisfaction if they are to retain customers. When a business man lets up on advertising, his business will let up on him. What appeals to the customer is to know that she will get the worth of her cash. The easiest way to sell good things is to have it known you have good mings 10 sen. The way to save a dollar is what should be advertised to the ordinary customer. Profits is the fruit that grows on the tree of good advertising; now is the blossoming seasou. Advertising is worth all it costs if the merchant can get that much value into tbe space he uses. Many merchants waste money in advertising ; some by doing too much of it and some by not doing enough.

The Tampa Tribune remarks that many a young man and boy could be reclaimed from the vile habit of profanity if he could only be reached by the direct admonition of some good man or woman who would simply prove to him that to swear is the act of a fool, and that not even those who practice proranity themselves admire it in others, which is entirely true. Boys learn it from their fathers and elder brothers. But fathers and elder brothers seldom relish this fruit of their own planting. It is almost inconceivable thata boy should learn to swear from his mother. Women, except of the lowest order, rarely swear. If any of them did, they could not geta moderately decent man to come near them. There have been cases where wives driven to heroic treatment of the habit of profanity in their husbands have made a feint of adopting that habit themselves. It has generally etlected a cure, although tlie Tribune cannot advise any one to proceed to so desperate an extremity. But do not the simple facts that this newspaper has stated demonstrate the essential folly and grossness of profanity. Even in ordinary life the unselfish people are the happiest?those who work to make others happy and who 'rim ,i;oo..?iL.i:,..i people are those who are seeking happiness for themselves. It takes an inducement to make some people buy and the best way to insure their buying is to make them appreciate the greatness of your inducement. No article is so cheap that people will want it just because of the low price. It must have a quality that makes it worth the price if people are expected to buy and appreciate it. ' !. ' The South Carolina College. | ! i The South Carolina College is round- j. lng out the first century of its existence j and will celebrate its centennial in Jan- j, uftry, 11)05. The College was chartered , in isol and opened for active work in 1 January, 1S05. It owes its existence to < a patriotic purpose, the education of 1 all the youth of the State at a common 1 center. "in oider to promote the in- | struetiori. the good order and the har- < mony of the whole community," and it i was built from a portion of the pro- ' ?1 " " 1a V\*f fVin I eec'.s of a rciniinirsenieui mauc u; l*nii I St.iUs in Sontli Carolina for ex- i pens* s incurred in the Revolution. During the eentury that i3 closing the Col- ( lege has contributed largely to the ' slat* snnnshi:>. the patriotism, the I learnin x and the high moral standards 1 that l?a\e prevailed in South Carolina ? nnd her sister States. The r<ll of Col- j logo Alwmni contains the names of men who have become noted in all the pur- ' suits of life, both in peace and war. ' The exigencies of the struggle between J the States closed the college in 1NG3, _! and the buildings were used as hospitals for sick anil wounded Confederates. But as soon as peace was restored the institution was reopened by the "Orr government" and enjoyed several years of success until it was overturned during the Radical regime. Since 1880, however, the college has been continuously * " " "? * 1-.^ ,3 | open, uci nas eaucaieu nunmcus w young men and a number of young women. who for some yeais have been permitted to partake of its advantages. Originally the College was known as a literary institution, although from early times its faculty contained scientists of great ability, hut of late years its courses have broadened out so as to embrace also technical scientific instruction, instruction in law and a course in practical methods for teachers. President Benjamin Sloan, the head of the Department of Physics and Engineering, is a graduate of West Potyt, and was a distinguished officer of ordnance during the war between the States. His graduates in engineering are now occupying most responsible positions in different parts of the United Suites. Professor joscpn juaniei rupe, dean of the Law Department, has had wide experience in government in the legislative halls of the State and in the Secession Convention, and is recognized as high authority in law and in equity jurisprudent e. Some of the other members of the faculty have had distinguished careers in this College, while others have brought to it the best methods of colleges and universities elsewhere. The most recent and most important addition that has been made to the '.usefulness of the College is the estab;shmerit of scholarships to be given to man-teacher in each county who lias* taught at least one year. This is 'nlended to oflTer the advantages of professional training to one who has already gathered practical experience in direct contact with pupils in the school room and realizes tjie difficulties that must be surmounted. Professor AVardlaw, who is at the head of the department in pedagogy, is eminent in his profession both as a student and as a tpuHiPr and school SU'J^rin tendent. The College is situated at the capital of the State and affords to the student opportunity for studying the workings of the government in a direct way. It is accessible from all parts of the State and is in a healthful locality. The religious advantages sire exceptional because each of the principal denominations has a prosperous congregation in Columbia. Expenses are moderate. There is a suite of three rooms for ?ach pair of students, warm in winter and well ventilated In summer. A large campus, a tine gymnasium and an excellent athletic field afford ample opportunity for exercise. The College is increasing in usefulness and in prosperity with the increased prosperity of the State, and the prospects are that with the new century this institutlbn will surpass the admirable record It has already made.
