Brief But Pertinent.
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.

Folly of Profitiilly.
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. ' !. '

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.
