SUCCESS SUCCEEDS.
We happened to pick up a little ad
ATrtising magazine sent out by a ma- *
chine manufacturer. It has >a number
of good stories and it makes some
good suggestions. Among the arti
cles in the magazine is the following:
"A lot of people have the idea that {
a big corporation possesses something
akin to occult power.
*'Even the employees frequently get
this idea into their heads.
".The Texas agent of a big com- ]
pany, with executive offices in New j
York, suspects there is some myste- i
rious force that keeps the business ]
going, and that it doesn't make the ,
least difference whether he works j
hard or not. \
"Now the fact is that the Texas ]
agent is just as important to the sue- i
cess of the corporation as any other <
agent, and the only reason why the <
corporation is big is because it has J?
agents scattered through the towns -
of the country, who mail in hun- :
dreds of small orders each day.
"Individually these orders do not '
amount to much, but collectively they
mean a tremendous volume of busi
ness. '
"A big corporation gets business '
in exactly the same way as any other
company or individual gets business.
"I had this brought home forcibly ,
to me one day when a.young man :
? came into my office and presented a
card of the Sante Fe Railroad. I hap
pened to be a member of a fraterni
<ty that was about to hold a conven
tion in one of the cities on the Santa 1
Fe line.
"The young man wanted me to go
to the convention, and travel over '
the Santa Fe. I suppose the round i
trip ticket would have amounted to
about $100.
"The visit of that young man im-il
pressed' me more on that particular 1
doming than would a visit from the 1
President of the United States.
"I have traveled on the Santa Fe
only on a few occasions and never for ,
more than an overnight ride, but I (
have always heard it referred to as j
a fine railroad. I don't know what its
annual volume of business is but I
am sure it is so large that my $100
would not be missed.
"Yet the fact that the Santa Fe
singled me out as a prospect and 1
took the trouble to call on me, was <
proof positive that it was out for all ]
the business it could get, and that it <
was using a direct and elemental way 1
of stirring up trade. 1
"Too many men with small busi
nesses sit around envying men with
big businesses, wishing they could sit
at a mahogany desk and rest their i
feet on an inch-thick rug, forgetting
that the prosperity of every business, 1
large or small, rests on the activity ;
of individual salesmen who are out j
turning the door-knobs of prospective
customers.
"In business there is no under- :
ground passage to success.
"All have to travel over the same ,
highway. And anyone who sneaks off
to the sideline and lies under a shade
tree has to eat the dust of those who
keep going."
Perhaps it would be worth while
for the young man and the young
woman in Abbeville engaged in busi- .
ness as an assistant to another, or to
some large or small corporation, to
read this over again and think
about all that is said. The true worth
- ** v\l ATTAOP t\ "P O
OI tiie wuiftcis vi v/a n i
corporation, or natural person, de-j
pends on the amount of the orders!
sent in. The worth of the individual
employee depends on the number he
sends in, whether the number ex
pected, a smaller number or a larger
number. If each individual sends in
just enough to make the business a
go, the business succeeds in a way; if
all, or some, send too few orders, j
and the others only the number ex
pected, the business fails; if a few,
send in too few orders and a few
send in enough more than expected
f-n m?kp ud for the shortcomings of
the others, the business may run. If
some send in only what is expected
and others more than their allotment
the business is a success; if all do
more than is expected and all assist
in piling the orders higher and high
er, the business becomes a marvel in
its nne.
The same is true of laborers every
where, in the workshops, on the farm,
in the great lines of transportation,
n the mines and in the stores. The
nan who merely completes his task
ind goes home, or quits, has done a
iay's work, but he has added nothing
:o the success of the company of
which he is a part. He will get the
promotion which comes with age and
from circumstances, maybe, but he
need not expect to become an out
standing figure with his corporation,
ior with his employer. He does the
work assigned him like a pitchfork
>r some other inanimate tool.
The man who does not watch the
:lock, but who is wining 10 suiy al
ter six to dust off the counter, to
sweep out the store, to put away
the tools which others have left, to
see that the shipment goes off, to
see that the car is loaded, to see that
business goes on and that by the first
;rain out; and the man who gets up
i little earlier, who works a little
harder, who thinks a good deal more
5f the success of the enterprise than
le does of his own "priority" and
the increase in salary, which all ap
preciate; these men Will get increases
in salaries without asking when in
ireases are justified; and one day,
when there is a place open for a new
executive, a new partner, or perhaps
when the business is for sale, one or
more of these men will be called in.
No man can force himself to the
top by doing a little less work at a
little more pay. The world is so big
that it will run without any single
man or any set of men. It is believ
ed that this is also true of Abbeville.
One reason why a good talker does
not succeed is that 'he talks too
much.

IN ANDERSON COUNTY.
As the first automobile passed
:hrough Varennes township in An
lerson County it is said that two far
ners who were sitting on the fence
)n the road-side fell backwards, and
;hen immediately jumped up, one of
;hem asking:
"Whut wus that?"
To which the other replied:
"I dont' know, but I know it wusn't
no d dog."
The squirrels in Anderson say
that thev do not know what kind of
a nut an Anderson man is, but he
aint no cocoa-nut.
In speaking of the school situation
in the town of Abbeville and endea
voring to tell the people the great
need of a better school, or of raising
some money to continue the school
term, among other good things said
by the Abbeville Press and Banner,
we find this sentence, and it is so
true that we can not refrain from
quoting it: "We all know too much
law, talk too much politics, talk to
much generally, and do too little for
the public good. Now, that's the
truth, even if we can't prove it to
you." mat is wen put ana is very
true even if it can not be proven, as
the Press and Banner says.?Herald

SWETENBURG SWEET.
REAMES BATTING STAR
Dick Swetenburg 01 ADDevuie out
[ who stays at Clemson during the col
lege season and who is some baseball
pitcher, they do say, attached anoth
| er scalp to his belt yesterday when
Clemson beat Woffprd by the score
of 7 to 1. He struck out 11 men.
His success was due in no small
part to the batting eye of Truman
Reames, also of Abbeville. Of
Reames' hitting and playing, the
Greenville News says:
"Jack Reames, Clemson's right
fielder, was the batting and fielding
star of the day. He got a single in
the fifth and in the seventh he
knocked one to deep left which net
ted three bases and appeared to the
spectators to be good for a home run,
though Jack, was held at third. The
fielding feature came in the ninth,
when Jack accepted an almost impos
sible chance and after a long run
stabbed and held a hard foul fly."
MR. CHIPLEY DEMONSTRATES.
Tom Chipley of Greenwood, Dis
trict distributor for the radio ma
chines was over from Greenwood
last night and has the machine at
the Austin-Perrin Drug store in first
class order.
Mr. Chipley has a radio outfit rig
ged up that he takes along 'with him
in his Ford car, and demonstrates
the machine to people through the
country by attaching to some high
tree in the vicinity. This is not the
kind of demonstration most of the
older generation got out of the tops
of trees. Mr. Chipley can get the mu
sic, but the oldtime operators pro
duced both the music and the dance.
