It pays to read the advertisements
of enterprising home merchants.
They are the people
who make it possible to have
conveniences right at your door,
so to speak.
Some people never hand in an
item of news for publication, but
? if we happen to miss an item in
which they are interested they
are sure to nann us a nortn poie
stare that would freeze the liver
of a polar bear.
It is mighty mean to patronize
a merchant who will trust you
until you get so far in debt to
him that you are ashamed to see
him, and then go and spend your
cash somewhere else where you
could not get credit: but there
are people who do it.
If a town does not reach after
the trade, it will come only as
fast as it has to, and it will
grow as it is forced to. But if
the merchants go after business
in the surrounding country, advertising
in every possible way,
and making good every word of
their advertising, trade will come
from an ever-increasing radius,
the town will gain a reputation
for being awake and it will forge
to the front.
Prominent Rock Hillian Dead.
Capt. Iredell Jones passed

Blease and Norwood Quarrel.
The senatorial campaign meeting
at Greenville Saturday, the
most largely attended up to that
time, was marred by a colloquy
between Governor Blease and
Jos. W. Norwood, president of
the Norwood National Bank.
Mr. Norwood asked the Governor
about the Mcintosh
and the Governor in his reply
referred to Norwood as a coward.
The latter replied by calling'
the Governor a liar and applying
still viler epithets while all
the time fighting and scrambling
to get at Klense. He was held
back, however, but nl'le?v*.rd
mounted the stand and delivered
an address to these who remained
in which he applied
other epithets to the Governor
and referred also to ,lohn G.
Riehmds. cnrnidnte tor Governor.

THE RAGE IN THE
FIFTH DISTRICT
THE PAGEL/TND INCIDENT.
Mr. Stevenson and Rev J. W.
Quick Explain the Incident
and What Led to It.
(Political Advertisement.)
On the night of July 14. 1914.
at Pageland, S. C., the candidates
for congress, W. F. Stevenson
and D. E. Finley spoke.
Mr. Stevenson opened and Mr.
Finley closed and Mr. Stevenson
exercised the right, assumed by
Mr. Finley at Chesterfield, of replying.
When he did so Mr.
Finley replied to him and as he
turned to sit down he said tc
Mr. Stevenson, "You can't throw
off on me." Mr. Stevenson said,
"How." He had not made any
personal remarks to Mr. Finley
I and only replied to what he said
appeared to be an insinuation
made by Mr. Finley and had corrected
Mr. Finley in reply tc
questions addressed to him by
Mr. Finley. When Finley replied,
"I will just hurt you,"
Mr StovoneAn cniil "Hurt- ma
old man, hurt me?"
The chairman had announced
the meeting adjourned and as
Mr. Stevenson turned to pick up
his papers Mr. Finley hit him
behind the right ear. After Mr.
Stevenson recovered from the
lick he approached Mr. Finley
and appeared about to engage in
the difficulty, but he was pulled
off the stand by T. W. Belk,
who stated to him that he wanted
to prevent any difficulty.
The incident was entirely unexpected
and without any apparent
cause as the debate was being
conducted along parlimentary
lines and the apparent heal
of Mr. Finley was not understood
by Mr. Stevenson apparently 01
by the audience.
W. F. Stevenson.
To the best of my knowledge
the above is a correct statement,
but I don't know what Mr. Stev
enson was doing when Mr. Finley
struck him.
