There was in Manong last Friday, lte a distinguished narty of gentle en, they came here on business with 2dge John S. Wilson. The party was ymposed of Attorney General Lyon id Comptroller General Jones, of Co tmbia, Captain Simeon Hyde and W. ..Holman, Esq., of the firm of Legare, olmnan and Baker. of Charleston, and [r. John 0. Edwards, former treasurer Berkeley. The case argued before dge Wilson was the bond of Mr. Ed ards was sued, for a shortage claimed y the comptroller general's odfice, nounting to $5,5o6.23, this was the nount claimed to have been short when [r. Edwards turned the books of the easurer's office to his successor. Mr. olman contended that certain portions the complaint were not sufliciently >ecific in the following respects: "I When and how under what cir 2mstances the amount therein alleged be found to be due was so found and certained. ". By specifying the date and mount of each item ccnstituting the id amount as alleged." The effect of this would have been >make the complaint state a detailed atement or bill of particulars thereof. Judge Wilson's order refuses the mo on to make the complaint more defi ie and specific and the plaintiff, the tate of South Carolina, is allowed to nend the complaint by changing the iird cause of action therein and by nending the prayer so as to make it nform. This is a most extraordinary case. [r. J. 0. Ed wards was the county treas er, of Berkeley county, an inspection! is odfice showed a deficit. Mr. Ed ards contends there is no deficit. and sists that th'ere is not a cent of the blic money short. His bondsmen have verv confid'ence in hi m, and stand ready niake good any slhortage without it, but Mr. Edwards persists in pro sting against the shortage !eavine thing for the bondsmen to do, but to low themselves sued and make the tate prove Mr. Edwards a delinquent. When this alleged shortage was first ade public, Governor Ansel suspend I Mr. Edwards, and a ppointed his suc tssor, but so far as we have heard no riminal action has ever been brought. r. Edwards has the sympathy of the eople of his county who have known ii all of his life, none believe that 1ere is any criminality in his acts, if is true that a shortage exists, it is 1e result of complicated book keeping. will probably take an expert account t to go over the books of that county >r several years back to find oat the act status, in the meantime Mr. Ed ards maintamns his innocence, and de tands the fullest investigation. Here is a case where an innocent man iay have had an irreparable injury oie him. The fact of his b)ooks being )und short, no matter the cause, and 2e same being published to the wvorld calculated to do him harm, and when ie matter is finally investigated, and turns out he is right, there is no rem-i d for him. His reputation has been triouslv crippled, the office wvhich he eld has been taken away, and now, al ough it is proven the alleged short ge is the result of a lot of double en ries. nulla bona tax executions, and! ther matters wvhich date away back of! is administration he has no relief from he State.

E. J. B3ROWNE, J TALKS ON ADVERTISING IV.-Creaing a Demand For Goods By Henry Herbert Huff COPYRIGHT. 1909. BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION "Mr. Business Man, you spoke of your trouble in interesting patrons in new and quality merchandise." "Yes; these show up more profit than 'staples,' but for some reason they do not sell readily." "Here is your greatest opportunity to utilize good advertising. Study the mail order catalogues. YPu can get many ideas from them. Note the complete descriptions, the catchy headlines, f the attractive cuts. This is a forceful example of the cre- o ative side of advertising. Good newspaper publicity has a double effect-(1) to take trade from less energetic competitors and give it to the one who advertises and (2) to make more busi- 0 ness. If a well written ad. so presents the advantages of pos sessing a talking machine, for instance, that some one becomes in terested. and buys one, hasn't it made more business? If the buyer had not thus been convinced of his need for one, he might never have made such a purchase. That is just what advertising is doing for the retailer and general advertiser alike." "And it will interest my patrons-in good clothes?' "Certainly. People dress so mu:h better today than ever be fore, largely through the influence of advertising. Style depends e very much upon it for existence. Practically all of our knowledge 0 of fashion and what is newest and best in the world's markets comes to us through the newspaper and magazine ad. The public is inter- E ested and quite eager to read. Let the local merchant talk about such things in his ads., and he can make a demand for new and quality goods. Readers need first To be shown WHY they should possess any particular article, WHY they should dress better, WHY 0 they should put in a furnace, WHY they should buy a kitchen cabi- a net. This study of 'selling points' will come later on. Take the matter of good clothes. One of those illustrations, such as are furnished to the trade by wholesale clothing makers, pictures the = wearer with such a stylish, clean cut, well groomed appearance enough to make any man want to dress better, particularly if helped along with clinching arguments. People need to be TOLD what they want and should have." "And qualiW "People need to be CONVINCED that the quality article is the z most economical. Advertising carries your arguments to the buyer. Often merchandise is claimed to 'sell on sight.' This is rarely true. Most any article needs to have its good points presented before the reader acquires a desire for it. "Every man in business is an egotist. He believes he can fur nish his customers merchandise of better quality at less cost or in C a more satisfactory way than anybody else. He has no reason to expect patronage except that he offers some greater inducement than do his competitors. He needs to tell the public WHAT he E has to sell and WHY they should buy it of him."
