Last Monday afternoon a number of tbe Jolataoftne seooad story of tbe new warehouse plowed tbeir way down through ihe * brtok wall, upon wblcb they were resting, w throwing a great quantity of lumber on the floor of the seoond otory, where It was fl >ored, and down to tbe ground wbeus It wait noi topped by flooring. A few oflbe twc-lnob flooring plana were brokeo. Thai t.rtck wall remained In tact, sustaining mr, oo other injury lb an the plowing of the wails I by the ends of the Joists. A* tar as ascertained there was no 'blame t' be attached to the work of construction. The weakness Jay Id the brick wblcb were old sand brick, many of whioh were uot as bard or as good as the brick whloh Messrs. McMillan & SondJey, or Mr. J. W. Lesley now t make. The floor to wblcb these timbers and brick fell were supported by a fonr-lncb corbelled shoulder in the wall, made oftbelr brick. The seoond story which was built upon the walls of the first story of new brick was built of tbe old brick wblcb came from the walls of tbe Southern depot which was reoently torn down. Tbe ends of tbe Joists whlcb fell, crashed down through tbe slue or the wall. It would seem that tbe builder over-estimated tbe strength ot tbe old brick. They were Bet upon tbe tup of the wall, while tbe story below, to wblcb they fell lea feet were new brick sustained no peroeptable Injury by tbe petclpllatlon of thousands of pounds of material. That no one was hart by tbe orssh seems ' almost miraculous. About a dozen men ' were at work beneath the debris, wblcb fell tf , *11 about them. The owner feels profoundly grateful that no personal Injury was doDe to any one. Tbe damage to tbe property was slight and tbe owner is glad that tbe accident v. . occurred when it did. The editor of this newspaper Is the owner ot the structure and was in tbe building imme dlately under tbe falling timbers. He knows now as does every Jackass in the oounty, mat tbe brick were not strong enough to sustain the story .and be will be glad to have bis errors pointed out, and he will also be glad for people who know nothing about It to tell htm a?hat t hoc know?bo that be can form a pretty correct Idea aa to wbat tbey don't know. The 00Bt by tbe accident la bat a trifle. Tbd ud wisdom of people wbo bave a cbanoe - to tell bow much better tbey ooaid bave pro - vlded against tbe accident and tbelr evident pleasure In noting tbe mlafortune, la wbat U?J ' bnrta. Tbe work will be resumed and tbq propbeu of evil wlU have anotber cbanoe to tell bow mncb better tbey coold bave done tbe Job. Bat aa a matter of fact, we bave notloed ibat . very few of aaob people bave ever ballt any. thing. ' THE LAST SLAVE CABQO. Teuel Was Bon by a Charleston and a Savannah Han. " The very last veusel to bring a cargo of African slaves into this country landed on tbe coast of Georgia, in I860," said Col. William Youngblood, of Atlanta, says Tbe Washington Post. "The vessel, whose name I do not recall, was operated by two Southern men. Corrieand Lamar. I think Corrie waa from Charleston and his partner was irom Savannah, aud a membero' the celebrated Lamar family. Tbey brought over between- 500 and 600 negroes from the shores of Africa and proceeded up the Savannah river CO Augusca, Deiore aueuipuug iu get rid of the slaves. There was lively bidding for the blacks by the planters of Georgia aDd South Carolina, and they sold like hot cakes at prices ranging from $300 to $800. Gen. Bearing, a prominent citizen of Edgefield county. South Carolina, bought twenty of tbem. "At that time I was going to school in South Carolina and happened to pay a visit to the heme of Mr*. Tillman, the mother of thiffjresent United States senator from that state, who also lived in Edgefield county. It seems that Mrs, Tillman bad been a , purcbaber at the sale of Corrie and . i Lamar, and I have a distinct recollecr. tiou of being shown ODe of the young Senegambians that she had bought of tnem. He was as black as mid night, And when spoken to could only grin and gesticulate, for he bad' not learned a word of English." A M. Local*.

The old year 1903 la !now cumbered wltb tbe past; tbe sad refrain rang oat by tbe oburob belie last Sanday announced Its departure, and as we look back we apply to our selves tbe llDes of tbe poet: "Backward turn backward ob time In yonr flight Make me a child again Just for tonight." These tides I expect call forth tbe sentiment of many as they look backward over tbe past old year and realize bow little good tbey have done, while tbelr tesponslbllltles have been great, and tbelr opportunities still greater, If then we could blot out tbe paataud be a oblid again we would do better, bat alas time and tide wait for no man so we must seize the golden opportunities as they flit by, and make all we can or tbe life before a?, remembering the present only Is oars. A happy and prosperous New Year to the editors and readers and oorresponaents of tbe Press and Banner wltb a brlghi'and glorious future Is oar sinoere wish. IN AND ABOUND THE CITY.

Ros- * mburg & Co. / Newspaper Advertising. ' Blscksburg Chronicle-. , Let us all re:id following notes from \ .'Newspaperdom" and see if we can't i <ay Amen to every sentence. You can J mly make known your goods by com- 4 n<r before the people, and the best way ? io do this it< by advertising* To em- * pbasizu and prove this, we would a*k! < you io read any paper or inagaziue < ind the first and last thing you will! < *ee is an advertisement, So read the 4 following: ' 4 Newspaper advertising is, to-day, 1 (be trade-wind of business pjo^peiity. 3 tt.is the power behind the throne; j the power which sells goods to the \ public and a power which no naue i business man disputes. It is to busi- J uess the steam or electrio power that ? makes the "wheels tro 'round." * Handsome store, fine goods and gentle- J manly clerks go along way toward ? making business prosperity, hut it's ? advertising that moves goods rapidly J und satisfactorily ; it is advertising < that men and women have learned to * depend upon to guide them to the best J for their mouey ; it is advertising that 4 women read, not as a "failing," but for j the j urpose of knowing where .some- {j ihing thay want may be obtained at 4 the best fi . ure. , j Advertising i** the fundamental ^ principle of success. Advertising Is 4 Lhe cheapest and most direct guider to J business success. It has been demon- 4 ulrated tim9 and tjme again that news- i paper advertising is an essential to sue- 'J L-ess as the very morey with which a < business is founded. < In every city in America there are J evidences where newspaper publicity 4 has built up great store trades; !<:as "i lifted failing t>ufines< ventures to a J Foundation ot lasting prosperity ; lias 4 revolutionized txistintr couditioris and J made fortunes for tbo.-e who use it as a ^ necessity in their business. 4 It is not nece-csm'y to do busings in J 1 large city in order to bt-come a sue- 4 jei-tfful newspaper advertis r. You 4 may nevtr l?e an advertiser of the | 'Vanamaker type, but. you can adver- 4 ;i'e in a way that wili bring to an in- 4 creased trade. I have in mind an ad- J verti-er in a city of less than ten thous 4 ?nd people. He put up an elegant 4 jtore; putin modern goods for both J meu and women ; he had for sale about 4 jvprytbing. . i Then he btgan 10 advertise in the local paper in ?n intelligent way. He 1 finally convinced the shopper that be j bad the right sort of goods, that peo- 4 |)le did not have to go fifty miles away < rn hnv ?pHs<mable drv goods. furnish- 1 ingp, etc.. as they bad done fur years \ liefore. He advertised in the weekly 4 pupers within a radius of twenty miles. J Shoppers en me by trolly, by train and < hy wagon. Hi* business prospered, and 4 today he is doit;g a trade of over $250,- ^ GOfl per year. i Borne of the people in this town call 4 him a wonderfnl business man. Heis, Jj but he in more tban that; be is a man with the convictii n of bis ideas. Newspaper adveitihing is the mi-sing link be'>veen failure and success. Advertising, as I said liefore, is the force that makes "the wheels po 'round."
