Senate.
The first bill to excite debate in
the upper house was Senator Verner's
message to allow moving pictures
In public schools, 4rhlch came up on
second reading. Many of the senators
favored the intent of the bill and desired
to pass it to third reading with
notice of general amendments, pertaining
especially to the censorship
of the films that may be shown. Debate
on the measure was Interrupted
by the senate repairing at noon to the
hall of the house for the purpose of
filling vacancies in offices in state institutions.
Senator Nicholson of Edgefield ln>
troduced a bill to regulate primary
elections throughout the state. For
the most part the bill conforms with
the" rules of the state Democratic
pfurty adopted last May;" the principal
difference is that the enrollment books
shall open and close one week earlfei-,
thus allowing more time for the correction
of the rolls after the duplicate
has been placed in the hands of
the clerks of court.
On the convening of the senate,
with A. J.. Bethea, lieutenant governor,
presiding, many bills, principally
of local significance, were introduced
Senator Laney's concurrent resolution
to meet at noon with the house
for the purpose of electing a superintendent
of the state penitentiary
was passed and t sent to the house.
The resolution provided that the election
of a superintendent precede the
election of other officers heretofore
agreed upon.
On motion of Senator Brice, of
Chester, the president appointed Senators
Brice, Walker and Christensen
a committee to prepare a memorial
on the late Senator P. L. Hardin of
Chester, and to arrange a programme
for suitable memorial services.
Senator Splfener of Richland intro.
duced a bill to authorize the school
board of Columbia to hold an?election
for a bond issue of $250,000.
The two bills of Senator Sinkler
abolish the office of dispensary constable,
and to regulate the holding of
primary elections, in Charleston county,
passed third reading and were ordered
sent to the house. On an
amendment offered by Senator Sharpe
the abolition of the office of dispensary
constable in Lexington count)
was also included in the former bill.
The first- contest of any duration
was brought about by the bill of Sen.
ator Verner of Oconee to provide for

HOW I WORKED THE CREDIT
8Y8TEM.
jit was Always my custom to state
In- the catalogue in several places?
"money cheerfully refunded."
If you sxe dissatisfied, how many
times do you get your money back?
Did you e?er get it back promptly
anil without a struggle?
This is fny game?to pretend that
your money will be returned in case
you are fcot pleased with your purchase
anc: then, if you do send in a
good hot kick you will get a letter
back asking you to select something
els a from the catalogue. You will
be tired cut with letters and suggestions
aj) to what you should take
instead of the article you kicked on
until you finally decide to save any

something jrcni didn't want at all.
Eut I suppose that really the greatest
joke of all is played on the people
in the email towns by my socalled
"cre<yt" system.
I send :wu a catalogue and invito
you to buy anything you want
and to take your own time to puy#for
it; The literature I send out leads
you to belifwe that I do not care for
money at all. I. try to make you believe
that you are a great friend .03? my
concern, that you are entitled to great
consideration, that,your wants shall be
supplied with the greatest possible care
and/that you are reliable and entitled
to cfedit. K
'Twill not make any inquirien concerning
ytttx credit," says my I'ltera*
turo. . 5 \ ' '
"Xo questions wHl be asked of your
neighbors," says: another paragraph,
"Your neighbors and friends will
never know that you are dealing with
us on credit," says still another section
of my. letter. But imost certjiinly
do iaqalre about you. For instance:
I had an outside concert?that is a
concern running under another name
and with a separate address froic, the
main store. This address was the
home of my credit manager or the office
of my. "collection lawyer:",
When yon wttte in for credit this
Is the way I do It. I have you uign,
first, of all, a paper which Is a pert of
the order blank and is really a legal
contract, giving me power and apriority
to come Into your home and take
out, not only the things you have purchased
on credit from me but also
everything else. When you sign au order
for goodra on credit you unwittingly
sign a chattel mortgage on your
household property. Then, after this
paper is in my possession I can swoop
down on you, and drag out every stick
of .furniture you hare in the place and
sell it at auction to pay the amount
still due. 1 ; ,
... .... . , If
a bookkeeper makes an error in
figures, if some clerk stetils a remit-.
tance. from you, sent in to apply on
your account, you have absolutely no
chance to object. It is the law.
Now, when you send in your order
and application for credit, you must
eend, also?for uuch is my rule?an
order and tho amount specified as the
first payment. You expect to get ..the
goods right away but no, there are certain
things to be done before I ship
the goods. I have your money, so
you must wait. r
Then my credit man sends a letter,
written on the "fake" letterhead of my
outside concern, to tome of your neighbors,
asking tliem if your character is
good, if you are i:a the habit of paying
your bills, if yoiir morals are good,
how much you ea:rn a week, etc. Your
order is held until answers are received
from ithose of your neighbors
to whom the letters of inquiry were
sent. Then if the answers have been
satisfactory, you are sent a contract
to be signed by you and you must wait

credit department.
Then the goods are shipped. And
the awful prices?,goocines8 gracious
what prices charged for the very
cheapest and most unreliable class of
goods. My policy Is to set a price, the
first payment of which pays for the
actual coBt of the goods. Then all the
rest is "velvet." All of the future paymeats
are profit to my house. You
really pay for the goods, the actual
value, when you send In the first payment.
. I won't lose anything if you
never send in another cent
But think of it?you must keep
sending in money to meet the other
payments for perhaps two years?so
much each month.. Any time you fail
to meet a monthly payment I Bend title
papers to a local lawyer and he can
take possession of your household ,
goods and sell them on the street.
Some of the goods I send you
are not worth hauling to the cars. I
remember one lot of parlor furniture
that had a lot of damages, one of
which was a broken leg on the divan.
It never coulcl be fixed. I sent that
Bet out even time I could substitute
it for another on an order ami
it always came back. We had a lot
of joking about that old crippled sot
of parlor furniture and, well, it had
a lot of adventures. I shipped that'
set to nearly ev6ry state in the Union.
Whenever a customer would order a
parlor set, and I could not get it, for
the price, ;[ us?d to uhip this crippled
Bet out instead. Of course it came
hank, lust as I knew it would, but lit
gave me a chauce to turn round and I
kept the money in the business, of
course.
Another strict rule is that you must
make your complaints within a certain
period of time after you have received
the goods. No matter what
was sent you, If you do not make a
complaint according to the rules I
have laid down, it is *.11 off. You have
no redress. You must keep whatever
was sent to you.
I spend a big part of my expenses in
the hiring of collectors and in the
maintaining of a credit and collection

of a certain number of cards. She
works this list every so often. If you
are slow pay, and keejp on being slow,
your card is taken out and placed in
another list and it, you keep on Hot
paying, your card is finally placed in
the list handled by the house lawyer,
who comes after you with all sorts of
threats.
If you persist in not paying, then
there are two things to do. I will send
the account to a local lawyer and he
will come to yoUr house and demand
the payment But if it is a small acr
count I will not send it for collection
but will continue to send you dun notices
for months afterward. Sometimes
I sold these small accounts to
"shyster" lawyers for a small percentage
and they collect whatever they
can. They will even follow a son or a
daughter with the unpaid bills of parents.
And the stuff you get from me isn't
worth having. It is the'cheapest stuff
imaginable. If it is "Clothing it won't

never keep sharp and It probably has
a flaw in It so that it will break at
the first strain.
It's not worth buying in the first
place and it Isn't worth, having after
you have bought it. Don't order 1i in
the first place. Buy from your local
dealer, who at least will listen to your
complaints and replace any article not

When flies are numerous, they decrease

One's Weakest Point
The character of the individual

by the enemy at its Impregnable
points. The assault is bent against
the weak places in the foundation or
where the workmanship of the walls
is defective. Men may stand firm for
years, simply because the opportunity
that appeals to their selfishness or
their wrong tendencies has not come
to them. But when the evil habit
that has been allowed to develop, unseen
and unsuapected by the world,
meets that which attracts and calls it
into action, too often character crumbles
into ruins.
Fuel Value of Wood and Coal.
The fuel value of two pounds of
wood is- roughly equivalent to that of
one pound of coal. This is given as
the result of certain calculations now
being made in the forest service laboratory.
which show also about how
many cords of certain kindB of wood
are required to obtain an amount of
heat equal to that in a ton of coal.
Certain kinds of wood, such as hickory,
.oak, beech, bircb, hard maple,
ash, elm, locust, longleaf pine, and
cherry, have fairly high heat values,
and only one cord of seasoned wood
of these species is required to equal
one ton of good coal.
Cards on the Table.
Amusing is the request of a manicure
preparation firm for a lady who
already has "beautiful long filbert
nails," to whom the "highest terms"
are offered if she will be photographed
for. advertisement purposes.
There is a frankness about this which
I like. PirBt get the lady; then prove
by her pictures how great a part our
preparations played in making her
what she is! This is laying the cards
on the table indeed.?The Sphere.

Honey antedated all forms ot
sugar by many centuries and was the
only sweet In common use. Greeks
loved It and Romans fought for it. The

meningitis has been reduced
nearly 60 per cent in New York alone
since antitoxin was first understood.

BAD DREAM8
Caused by Coffee.
"I hare been a cone? armser, more
or less, ever since I can remember, until
a few months ago I became more
and more nervous and Irritable,, and
finally I could not sleep at night for I
was horribly disturbed, by dreams of
all sorts and a species of distressing
nightmare.
"Finally, after hearing the expert*
ence of numbers of friends who had
qnlt coffee and were drinking Postum,
and learning of the great benefits they?
had derived, I concluded coffee must
be the cause of my trouble, so I got
some postum and had It made strictly
I according to directions.
"I was astonished at the flavor and
taste. It entirely took the place of
coffee, and to my very great satisfaction,
I began to sleep peacefully and
sweetly. My nerves improved, and I
wish I could wean every man, woman

drink?coffee.
"People do not really appreciate or
realize what a powerful drug it is and
what terrible effect It has on the hu*
mah system. If they did, hardly a
pound of coffee would be sold. I would
never think of goinu back to coffee
again. I would almost as soon think
of putting my hand in a fire after I
had once been burned. Yours for
health."

boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
