S r Friday, November 10, 1911. a .e An election in .which there was a more interest in South Carolina prob- t ably than any other was the race for t the mayoralty of the city of Charles ton. It was a very hotly contested c race and Mr. Sno. P. Grace wins over 1 both opponents by about 85 majority. 1 Both of the local papers in the city C of Charleston were strongly opposed a to Mr. Grace, and, in fact, it might be said that every paper -in the State c that took any position at all, was against Mr. Grace. So far as our opinion goes, he is a young man of more than ordinary ability and good character, and there n seems to be nothing against, him ex- c cept that he has opposed the.powers that have held sway in municipal poli p ties in Charleston for ma 7 years. i He has succeeded also in having the ,t majority of the aldermen supporters t of his so that he will not be handi . capped with an unfriendly aldermanic g board. c THE HEN AND THE DUCK. The best pro-advertising argument a we have seen in many days is contain- e ed in these paragraphs: a Did you ever notice that when a t duck lays an egg she waddles off just S as tho' nothing of any consequence had happened? Did you ever notice that when a hen lays an egg she sets up a whale of a great big noise, calling the attention of the whole world to the affair, as though it had never happened before? < Did you ever notice how much great er. demand there is for hen eggs than there is for duck eggs? Did you ever notice that there is- al ways a greater demand for an adver . tised article? The hen advertises. We find the above In the Greenville Netws. Do you see the point? It has t a very striking point. ,The merchant who does not advertise ninda very lit i demand in this day for his wares. 1book around you and you will see that the merchant who advertises judi MiQUsly is the merchant who IS mak-< ing a success of hig b'usin.ess. isi Is tru of any flne of business., This Is truly an age of publicity. -WORK SELDOI[ APPRECIATED. We find the following very sensible ] and very true article in the Sumter i Item contributed by Mr. W. D. Woods, of Darlington. Hie wrItes -as if he1 might have had some experience in the newspaper business. Certainly he ap preciates the situation and has a fair I conception of the labors and hard ships of the average country editor. And yet it might be said with truth that the average countrY editor is re eponsible for this condition. We fear sometimes that he does not fully ap preciate or value his own labors. How Jew people ever offer to pay for a' ~paper. They would think the editor very mean if he were to requst each one to pay for a paper when he call-! .d to get one. And yet they would noti think of walking into a store and ask, a merchant to give a cigar: "If the'writer were asked as to what agency, in his opinion, was the most potent in the derglopment of a city or town, and accomplished the most in the way of calling attention to its advantages, the answer would be, a good newspaper. If he were asked,I in addition to the above question as to which, of all efforts in this direction, received the smallest measure of cred it and appreciation, the answer would be the same, the newspaper. In fact, In this day of booming, and ad vertising a town, it would be impossi ble to conceive of any degree of suc cess following these efforts without the help of an active newspaper, and it is no exaggeration to say that the editor or proprietor, as the case may be~, contributes from five to ten times~ as much, in proportion to his means, to advance its interests as any other 2nember of the community. suggested the editor is expected to all attention to it, endorse it as a ne investment and use his best ef >rts to induce the public to support , but it very seldom occurs to the rojectors of these new enterprises to how any appreciation of the help thus endered. It is not only business en rprises that try to secure this free dvertising, but all kinds of benevol nt organizations, churches, schools nd all kinds of entertainments, and be worst of it is that it never seems : occur to the people who expect all ese notices that it costs money to rint them, and that this money must! ome out of the pocket, often a very nan one at that, of the r-'tor. The idies of a church or some benevolent rganization will decide to have a fes ival, reception or some other kind of n entertainment, and the first step in be direction of preparing for it is to: all on the editor and request him to ot only call attention to it, but to rge everybody to turn out in aid of benevolent cause, he of course, being xpected to attend in order that he. ay contribute an account of it in the ext issue of his paper. He is gra Lously given a free tickE say worth 5 cents and while pres.ent is treated > a modest saucer of ice cream and a: iece of chocolate cake, the price be ig ten cents. When the editor comes; ) figure out the matter he finds that! e has invested about $3 or $4 in no ces and received 35 cents in return. "The measure of the culture and re nement of the residents of a town or ity can be easily judged by the ap earance of their homes, for this is an afallible sign, one that is never wrong. he other business enterprises can be ,ccurately measured by the character f thir newspapers, and if this be true, .nd no one can deny it, it is needless o point out the importance of sus aining the local papers in every pos ible way. "The best and surest way to help the ity is through the medium of the aper.

Charleston, Nov. 8.-The results of the primary election yesterday are the election of Col. John P. Grace as mayor with a plurality of 194 votes over Maj. T. T. Hyde and a majority over both Maj. Hyde and Mr. Hughes of 85 votes. The supporters of Col. Grace were generally elected on both the board of aldermen and school commissioners. Surprises came also in many of the other contests at thie polls. The vote in the mayoralty race which over shadowed all other conten s led by a substantial excess over the vote of Henry P. Williams, who led the al dermanic ticket. Unquestionably the issue of the campaign was the Consolidated com pany, which had been prominently! featured by Col. Grace and his speak ers. The attack which was made up on the administrations also served to nttr.et its opponents to Col. Grace'I And Trn GALA SIX DAYS COMMENCING B!
