X. H. AULL. EITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New - berry, S. C., as second class matter. - FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904. Municipal Advertising. That advertising pays is nowadays ---dispited bY WidWdy-provided, of irs, h the idvertising isjidici Aously aanaged. Few businesses can -1 thrive without -newspaper. advertis ing; many cannot exist at all. If the use of newspaper space and the distribution of circulars is of such great value in the enlargement of a commercial business it would seem that these expedients would prove vastly beneficial in building up a modern city. This has been proven by actual ex perience. The citizens of Seattle, Wash., got together some years ago and raised a fund for a "campaign" of newspaper advertising. That is how you came to hear of Seattle. That' is why you know that there is such a place on the map. It is an open secret that Seattle the metropolis of the north Pacific coast--owes its rapid growth primari ly to newspaper advertising. - A city that people are always talk ing about can never stagnate nor.die of the dry rot. On the contrary, if it is well governed and has natural ad vantages, it will certainly grow. Many a quiet village has advan tages of position and climate and la bor and potentially of transpora:ion. sufficient to make of :t a great city: Nit -X. r*dit D n ave to a ':somthing aboutl, a L-tv eore 1hey will m11OVe to du~t hi cnerjI:in a C-V 11"La-Z fromr- :e. to nve honired new Partie:,. w:h capital to invest are lookIg :plac to loat. hme seekers are :earching for the be city to live They iamn ot know that Atlanta is .hai they are looking for unl! they are told.

That it is true that newspaper ad vertising pays the shrewd and wise and successful business man is well aware. The merchant in most lines' of business, if he desires to be suc cessful, must use newspaper adver tising. Every real live and p)rogca sive merchant who attains any sort of success knows and realizes that he must do newspaper advertising. Now and then you will nind a mer chant who will tell you that he does not believe it pays to advertise and yet he is always anxious and pleased to have some reference to His busi ness made in the newspaper. The same is true of towns and conm munities. We may make fun of the town that loses no opportunity to ad terise, and yet we are faced with the fact that such town or commun ity is the one that grows and pros pers. Advertising pays is a truism, whether it be for the merchant or the city. Wie cannot always calcu late the results to a mathematical precision, but the ract remains true, that the results will come to the busi ness or the city where the advertis ing~is done wisely and judiciously. The legislative committee to ex amine the books of the state officers evidntly left the impression 'that everything was not straight in the office of secretary of state. We do not believe there is anything wrong with this office and we understand the committee to say privately that everything is alright. They should in justice to Mr. Gantt come out and say so. We do not like this way of withholding a full statement. They say in their statement there is "noth ing of a startling or sensational na ture to report."- --Then why not gives out what therei tO report. i. hold it ior six months. It is,'to our mind, unfair and unjust to Mr. Gantt. To The Public." On account of certain statements which have been made during the past several days the following state ment from ex-Governor M. B. Mc Sweeney in regard to the commuta tion of the sentence of Pleasant Gil liam is herewith presented to the pub lic. M. M. Buford. June 21. 1904. Hampton. S. C.. June 15, 1904. Messrs.
