C, by registered let ter, check or money order. The New York World claims near ly all the credit for the passage of the Reciprocity pact with Canada. T!*e fact that Bryan is being op posed* by Bailey and Dahlman shows that he is still on the side of right and the people. WSTson, Clark, Harmon for any other good Democrat will suit us for the Democratic candidate for Presi dent, ?ither of them would be all right. The duty o-a lumber has been tak en off by the Reciprocity pact with Canada. When the now law goes in to effect, see If lumber won't be a little cheaper. There is nothing ahead on the track which will dera? President Taft on hiB excurslo? to the White House for the second term ,if he can head off the man that the Demo crats may nominate. Teddy Is almost completely shut out of the newspapers these times. If .they continue to boycott him, the newspapers will be responsible for any calamity that may befall the universe for lack of hla advice. Col. H. P. Cary, general passen ger agent for the Southern railway declares that his company has haul ed into the mountaind of western North Carolina already this season forty per cent more passengen> than It has for the past five years. The percentage would be bigger than t jat if. some of as had tha money and time. The people living in the north eastern section of the city are in favor of the election of Mr. D. H. Marchant -to the aldermanlc board. He is a good, live man, and that sec tion of the city needs a representa tive In the city government. They, ask that Mr. ' Marchant be voted for by people in other sections that he might be elected. There is a great deal of humbug gery about our courts and the ad ministration of justice. -Or the "man higher up," about whom so much was heard seme time ago and wihoae arrest and punishment for breaking interstate commerce and other law? was promised. Is a most elusive be ing. Anyway he has not yet been caught in the meshes of the law and the prospect grows dim. The people are in the saddle in England, but it seems hard Cor the House of Lords to learn that fact. They will find, howe.'er, in making amendments to the veto bill that they have gone to a good deal of j trouble for 'nothing. The House of Commons will reject all the amend ments and then the lords, sooner than face the creation of hundreds of new peers Will accept the inevitable. A queer feature about the attitude o' the American Cotton Manufactur ers' Ascsoclation with reference <x> the reduct'.ov of duties on cotton goods, says the Spartanburg JourniJ, is tnat they also state that their op position to any reduction In the tar iff on cotton mill machinery. This latter is on the ground that they do not want their planU "depreciated." Put when they wear cut their pres ent machinery and want to buy more what then? Those fanatics who offered them selves to the Canadian government as substitutes for a woman under sentence of death for the murder doubtless knew that they ran no risk in making the offer. If the Canad ian government had accepted it they probably would have been the most surprised and scared men in the country. If their aim was to get their narae.in the paper and get talk ed about their wish has been certain ly gratified. Bryan has propounded thirteen questions to candidates for the Dem ocratic presidential nomination. Some nt" ^papers are criticising him for so doing but we agree with the Sp.v. tan burg Journal that he had a perfect right to do what he did. He can ask all the questions he wishes and can support or oppose on the ba sis of the answers he receives. Like wise candidates may answer the questions to suit Mr. Bryan or not just as they choose. Nv outrage has been committed. The Spartanburg Journal says: "Editor Robert Lathan of the Char leston News and Courier is clearly rieht in requiring that Leon M. Green, Columbia correspondent of that paper, relinquish either his po sition on the staff or Governor Blease or that as correspondent of The News and Courier. Mr. Green's position as a "Colonel" on the gov ernor's staff necessarily placed him vr.der obligations to Blease, and in suih an attitude he aould not be of ?he fullest usefullness to the News and Courietr." Many (people will agree' with his view of the case. What Is an Ad Club. The Augusta Herald defines an ad club to be an organization of the advertising and sales managers of firms] located in any community. They may be retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, real estate men, printers, publishers; in fact, any one who is interested in the disposal of any commodity or product. It means getting together and rubbing elbows with the other fellow. Views are exchanged on important topics that man concern every firm ptrsonally, or the community at large. In other cities these clubs have proven immensely beneficial to the merchants and community at large, spreading a knowledge of the com munity's resources and benefitting in various ways. Orangeburg is getting more and more in the limelight. Ad vertising in Orangeburg is getting to be more and more a necessity and every day doing in the life of the community. Incidentally, it is costing more to do .business in Or angeburg as the city grows. Real estate ' values are increasing, rents are higher, clerks cost more, and there must come an increasing expan pansion of the volume of trade to meet these expenses. There never was a time when the city as a community should adver tise more and advertise better. And the same thing is true of each and every line of business in Orange burg. The demand of the times is for more advertising and better au vertlsing. The problem of business Is to reach more people, more quick ly and more effectively than ever before, for the.slogan of every enter prising city and merchant is more business and better business. Ad clubs are big he!p3 In studying and solving the problems of cities and modern merchandizing these days. "Thousands of dollars are wasted in advertising," says Mr. |McXeand, Secretary of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce," and much of this waste Is due to a lack of knowledge of the principles governing the science of advertising. It is to study this science and eliminate unneces sary waste that advertising clubs have been formed in hundred of pro gressive coimraunlties. More money is wasted on so-called advertising than any other one thing. At the same time, greater results are reap ed from good advertising than from any other source. The national ad vertisers and the mail order houses will come into a community and create new business right under the nose of the local merchants. That's because they have studied advertis ing and know what they are doing. The only way to successfully combat the enemy is to meet him with his own weapons. An ad club, says Mr. McKeand. can create and mould public senti ment, through proper publicity; it can devise the best methods of ad vertising natural advantages of that city; ? it can determine better than any other body, just what the natural advantages of that city are; it can be the very best assistant to the' already organized Chamber of Commerce, board of trade or busi ness men's league. It alone can bring about the proper understand ing of what advertising ic. It teaches you to tell of the value of the ar ticle offered in a plain, sta<ghtfor ward, truthful way. It is efficient in building good roads, because it Is a publicity factor, that calls the attention of every one to their neces sity. It advertises the town, because it understands advertising methods and the best procedure to use in extending your common fund for calling the attention to your city. It saves money tlxr you, because it teaches what is good advertising and, consequently, keeps a.way from your city the numerous fa <e and so-called advertising schemes that are a prey to the business men of eve'ry com munity, r * National Corn Show. The announcement made by Mr. A. 'McP. Hamby, which is published in another column, that It has been decided to hold the next National Corn Exposition In Columbia pro vided certain conditions are met Is of the greatest Importance to the whole State. The News and Courier says "the magnitude of the Exposi tion is indicated in the fact that if is proposed to spend some twenty months in the work of preparation for it, during which period at least a thousand dollars a month will be ex pended." In order to provide a building cap able of housing the Exposition the city of Columbia has already pledged $25,000, with which there wil] be erected on the Fair Grounds at the State Capital a structure that will have a seating capacity of 35,000 people It will take in addition to the $25,000 pledge by Columbia, $40,000 to finance the proposition. Of this $40.000. $3.500 has been guaranteed by citizens of Columbia, $5,000 by one of the railroads operat ing in South Carolina and $2,000 by the city of Charleston. This will leave in round numbers $30,000 still to be raised. The people of South Carolina will be asked to pledge this amount and we do not for a moment doubt their doing so. As the News and Cour ier says, "it is a big enterprise, but it promises big returns, not only in the way of advertising of the most jdesirable type throughout a wide territory and over a long period of time, but also in other ways, one or two of which have already been hinted at and others of which the gentlemen In charge of the under taking will no doubt lay before the people in due season." The bene fits of the Exposition can hardly be over estimated. Some of these benefits, as nointed out by The News and Courier, are that "the exhibi.ion and other at tendant features will constitute a lib eral education to the agriculturist, while there is also a very practical side to be considered, namely, the bringing to South Carolina of at least a thousand farmers from the middle West, who will represent in themselves some $30,000,000 o copitai and who cannot fall to be interested in a country possessing such magnificent opportunities for development and the advantages of which as a corn producing region have been so amply demonstrated and widely advertised during the last few years."
