We have been asked the question
"what has become of the Board of 1
Trade?" Having been away from town
the past two months, xe are not in post
tion to know much about it. The insti-,
tion must still exist for the reason that s
its name is being used to influence mat
ters its cificial heacs favor. If we have I
a Board of Trade in existence, it should t
be an active force, and not a dormant I
thing to be used to suit the conveni- '
ence of those who were chosen as its e
officers when first organized. In other
nords, we do not think it proper to uses
the name of the Board of Trade until'a
authorized by a meeting of that body.
granting there is such an organization. I
If a man is an applicant for public posi-|
tion, and the president or secretary of j
the Board of Trada atiixed their official
signature to his petition without a
meeting of the board authorizing this
to be done, it is diverting the purposei
of a business organizing without I
authoritv. Occasion may arise when|
in our juidgment we shall have some
thing further to say on this subject. I
There should be a board of trade, and I
it should be lo'a'1y supported, but it 1
must be free from partisanship, anct deal 1
with thos'e things only. which tend to

are political in their nature.
Fire at Summerton.
Mr. Joseph D. Rutledge's residence
at Sumnmerton, together with all the
household effects, was totally destroyed
by fire at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
The fire originated about the rear of
the lower floor and had made consider
able progress when the family, who
were sleeping upstairs, were awakened.
Mrs. Rutledge. as mothers often do,
awoke in the night and started tothe
children's room to look after~them, but
when she opened the door to the hall
way she was met by a volume of smoke.
She at once called Mr. Rutledge, who
hastened to rescue the children, and in
doing so came in contact with flames
coing up the stairs that burned him
quite painfully about the hands and
1face. As soor. as possible he got the
three children and Mrs. Rutledge out
on the piazza roof, then sliding down
one of the columns to the ground he
procured a ladder with which he suc
ceeded in getting his family safely
down, but there was no time to save
anthing from'the house.
The building was known as the old
Benbow house, and belonged to Mr.
Thomas W ilson,president of the North
western Railroad Co. It is estimated
Sthat the house was worth about $2,500,
and chat Mr. Ratledge's loss of house
hold effects was about $1,500. with no
insurance. In addition to the residence
an outbuilding containing some 300 or
400 bales of hay was also destroyed, but
i another building near hy containig a
r number of bales of cotton escaped the
i fames. Nothing is known as to the or
-igmn of the fire. Every one of course,
smathizes with Mr. Rutledge in his
- serious loss, but at the same time all
are ready to rejoice with him in the safe
escape of himself and family.

Attempted Suicide.
Mr. J. F. Ong, who was superinten
ent of construction on the new Court
louse at this place up to two or three
reeks ago, attempted to commit suicide
y shooting himself with a pistol at a
otel in Augusta, Ga., on last Thursday.
le was either in a very nervous condi
ion or was extremely cool, for though
e shot himself five times, neither shot
roduced a very serious wound. One
all nipped his nose, another clioped
n ear, and a third clipped his lip. while
fourth entered his jaw and a lifth pen
trated his neck. It is thought Me. Ong
,as unbalanced from over-indulgence in
coholic liquors. It is said that he was
aduling rather freely while on the job
ere, and was finally displaced because
e was not pushing the work satisfac
)rily. Several reports got into circu
ttion as to errors he had made in the
rrk, such as that he raised the walls
f the Court House a few inches too
.igh or not high enough, but those in
osition to know give assurance that
ch was not the case. Mr. Ong had
rompt surgical treatment after shoot-1
2g himself, and the last information re
eived was to the effect that he was get

Architect Shand was here Monday and
ated to us that the error so broadly

otable Progress at the Clafendon Baptistl
Church.
"It has s~een about six months,"
a~id a prominent member yesterday,
'since this little band with twenty-one
iembers entered the old court house
: worship, under the leadership of
'astor Blanchard, but they have been
ionths of genuine progress. The
hurch now has about 75 members and
xpects to celebrate its first Anniver
ary on the 3rd Sunday in March with
,hundred members. There have been
wo large baptizings as a result of the
vangelical work of the church, and
till other conversions are awaiting the
rdinance. it is not rare to have con
-ersions at their regular Sunday even
ng's services. Every Sunday marks
,growth in the congregation, and the
unday School has become a great
actor'in the church work. Last Sun
la the 'enrollment passed the one
undred mark, and now the race is on
or an additional hundred. A vocalion
as been purchased to take the place of
he old reed organ for the choir, and
y next Sunday it will likely be in use.
The visitor there next Snnday will
iso see the auditorium divided up into
ortable class-rooms for the Sunday
school, and at night it will be beauti
ully lighted by electricity. The little

Will a Special Term be Ordered?
There is an effort being made to-have
lovenor Ansel order a special court to
;rv William Bethune, charged with the
nurder of Mr. G. B. Mims. The family
tnd friends of the murdered man are
txious to have swift punishment meted
ut to the accused, and feel they are en

"Yes; there are several, and it does beat alow those premi
-ums take. Looks ts though one was getting something for noth
ing, but he pays for all of it. I can sell the whole assortment for
half their list price and premiums. Buy them separate and get
what you want. Each of these clubs takes from $100 to $300
worth of business from our town every year.
"And then there's Near City -only twelve miles away, and the
fare is 60 cents. M1any of dur people go there to buy clothing, mil
linery and the like. Often they pay more than in their homie'
town. 'We merchanats had been charging up the bulk- of our lost
trade to the mail order houses, but found upon investigation that
a large part is going to Near City instead. With our trade leaking
out in every conceivable way it seems up to us to take what's left."
"Do you have any trouble with 'leftover' goods?"
"Yes; we lose a lot that way. In summer business goes on
a vacation. Most dlays of the week are pretty slow, too, except Sat
-urday, and that's hustle, hustle, hustle, all day long. I wish we
might shift some. of this dlay's business to the others."
"M. Business Man, Ive a solution to all of your problems. I
can tell you what will hold your trade at home, what will move your
slow sellers and remainders, what will make business for you in the
dull seasons, what will sell the new and better goods. It's no com
plicated mystery or trick of 'magine-just Plain 'ABVEETISING.
"I know you'll say you've tried it without success or that a com
petitor failed to make it pay or something else, but it resolves itself
into this-if you advertise RIGHT, it will PAY you; if you- do so in
the WRONG way, it will FAIL. Advertising is no child's play-it's
a science. A person of average ability can write god copy.
"And now I must be going, but I'll be back next week and every
week for several months, and I intend to. have a little chat with
you each time.' I shall first show you how advertising will SOLVE
your problems, and then Fin going to tell you how to advertise
SUCCESSFULILY." -
