PICKl<N'S C. H., S. C.: Saturday Morning, November 17, 1066. The Internal Revenue. Attention is directed to tho advertisement of Col. IJoiCK, in this issuo, in relation to thc internal revenue - -. - Tho Markets. Tho price of cotton and gold continues to decline. In New York, on the 13th instant, cotton was selling at 35 to 37. (?old, 46?. Tho Climax Capped. At the recent election in Massachusetts, for members of thc Legislature, rico " gentlemen of color" were returned-ono from Charles town and the other front Cost?n ! Thc huh will bc represented now ! The Elections North. Thc election in thc States of Xow Voile, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Miehigm, New Jersey, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, atid Delaware, for Governors and members of Con gress, has just taken place. Maryland and polpware have boen carried by tho conserva- I tivos or Johnson party The radicals have been successful in the other Statis. Thc j congressional delegations of thc above States i have not been materially changed, leaving us i glill at thc mercy of thc radicals. Shocking. Wo have had related to us a case .which shooks all thc liner feelings of our nature. In nu adjoining District, a beautiful young lady, ! Seventeen years of age, well educated, and very i respectably eonncoted, took a finny to a yoting j odored tuan, lt having booti talked about in ? br? iio?.irh hovlio-? J, o..".-v..i n M j .Iv .>o,i H C t\;etiiig.*j. j Finally, tho woman cloped with thc negro.- I They were pursued to within a short distance ! of this place. Traced to a negro's house, 'where she was found laughing and talking with her paramour's family. On being dis covered, she attempted to escape, but was ar rested and returned to her parents. Advertising. We clip tho following sensible article from the " Charleston Courier," which wc com mend to the careful attention of our business men who arc desirous lo build up their business nod thereby speedily regain what they have lost. Dring your business prominently before the people and let them know what you are doing and what yon aro willing to dp, and,, our word for it, you will soon find that your exertions are duly appreciated and that ymir business will increase in exact, proportion lo ? thc amount of information you give in regard to thc eir< its you arc milking to accommodate your patrons : It will not be forgotten to what extent thc j curious were exercised hythe apparition, some months ago, on every street corner of our cit y, and in almost every newspaper of tho United 1 States, of thc cabalistic sign S. T. - 1S0U-j X , and how long a time elapsed before it was discovered that it had nb other than an nd vcr? tisiog .significance. Since then tho public has learned with astonishment that tho enter-i prising genius who adopted this plan for her- ' aiding his Hitters had planted his Standard on tho famous White Mountains, and even pasted hts cards on the peaks of thc Pyramids. Ho bas never regretted his outlay of inc ins. Drake boasts tint his sales of Plantation Bit- ' ters last year exceeded a million of dollars, and attributes thc fact to the ngency of print- j ina presses mid posters. Wc ourselves know j of a capitalist in Now York who placed fifty thousand irr the hands of au agent to be ex- I elusively employed in advertising his business, and it would not be diflioult to cito hundreds of similar cases. Tho importance of advertising cannot be over-estimated, nor i? it necessary to reiterate nrgumonts jo support of its advantages. The success of merchants and business mon gene rally who lu'-v'O done so, systematically and ju diciously, aro so many evidences in its behalf. Like nny other business, however, it requires n study of its utility and method to enable ono to mako tho best application of means to the ond which is desired. It is in itself a scienco nnd ono which demands application and practical sonso to acquire to advantage. This is thorougly understood tit tho North where advertising agencies have been in sue? cessful'operation for very many years, nnd to theso thc business men of that section resort AB tho most economical nod effectual ngents for tho extension of their commercial transac tions, "Truth in a Nutshell." A correspondent of tho " Chronicle & Sen tinel," discussing tho most fensiblo mode of obtaining release from tho general and op pressive burden of debt, says-truly : The best and surest way to get relief is for every able-bodied man to go to work ut some thing ; and, by industry, each and evory fam ily will bo relieved. Debts eau bo paid very last with tho present high prices of farming products, and most men can pay one-fourth their indebtedness this winter, even with one third of tl cotton crop; and where they can not, and have done tho best they could, they will not bc sued. * * * Many debts should be reduced heavily. Tho people havo lost their slaves, and much of other property, and every creditor should feel willing to give up a patt ol' their claims; but theso things should bo by mutual consent nf parties. ***** * 1 am surprised to soe so many men want to hold on to-large bodies of land, and remain in debt too. Bettor give their creditors part of the land and rid ihemselvcs of debt, for there is nothing so depressing to a man's spirits as to bc itt debt. Small farms, with plenty of guano anil good farming implements, are much more profitable, with less trouble and more satisfaction. The Rural Southerner.
