The other day a local merchant elevated his chin, squared his shoulders, assumed a somewhat belligerent attitude and defiantly remarked that/'advertising does ^ not pay." He is still in business, but let us consider a minute: A London baronet who manufactures pills recently sold a part of his real estate for the tidy o., ?qo nnn nnn Hn m?Hp iV OU11I VI yuv?wvv, VVV. **v. - .v.v. V- ?W out of the profits of his business and he built up that business by advertising. John Wannamaker, the best known and most successful merchant in this country, made his millions by advertising, and said so. The large department stores of the country are kept alive by advertising, and are coining money by more advertising. One never hears of a large mercantile house that does not advertise and advertises heavily. The politician who wishes to make himself known to the dear "peepul" uses the most effective means?newspaper publicity. Yes, advertising pays. There is no ad so small, or insignificant, but that someone is waiting for it. There are plenty of people who want tc buy what you have to sell, but they are weary of looking through a haystack for a needle. They prefer to find it in an advertisement. And they will look in the local paper for the ad. They will find someone's?will it be yours. New School Completed. John E. Carroll, county super- ; jntenrient or education, was in Fort Mill Thursday for the purpose of inspecting the new Flint Hill school building, located six miles north of town, and which has just been completed. Mr. Carroll was met at the school : house by Mr. S. P. Blankenship j and Mr. Thomas Davis, who j were largely instrumental in \ planning and carrying out the j scheme for a new building to f replace the old one which was built about 43 years ago. The ! building is a very pretty one and reflects credit on the nro moters and contractors. The arrangement of the rooms is good and the provision for heat-! ing and light is excellent. As a j consequence of the visit of Mr. , Carroll, Mr. Davis authorizes; the statement that the building is complete, accepted by the i county superintendent and paid ' lor. Pigs Beat Cotton. Mr. John J. Blackmon recently sold three pigs of his own raising which brought him more money than a bale of cotton, which he sold about the same time. He was relating the circumstance to a friend in the presence of his little 8 year-old 1 son. Jay, who added, "Yes, and it cost Daddy more to raise the j cotton than the pigs." nr.. r?i 1 i i>. i rar, i>iacKin<Mi .says nereatter he will pay little attention to the i ] raising of cotton for the reason ' that if continued much longer l>y the farmers it will prove their undoing- He has for several years past been raising cattle and hogs. This year he is re- I, quiring every tenant to have a hog pasture and furnishes the wire to make it. In case the tenant cannot get a hog he far-' nishes him with a brood sow to raise from on halves. ? Lancaster j >Jews. ? ' Killed by Train. Charlie Owens, 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Logan Owens of Rock Hill, was struck by the engine of train No. 73 at a point about two miles north of Fort Mill Thursday morning about 10 o'clock and died from his injuries while h.e was being brought on the same train tc Fort Mill. Coroner Strait was summoned from Rock Hill and empanelled a jury before whom testimony was taken from Dr. A. Theo Neely, Julius Greer and David Hahn, the two latter being companions of the dead boy at the time of the accident. Testimony brought out that the three boys went to Charlotte Wednesday night on train No. o2 on a pleasure trip and did no1 slpon anu (tupinrr tho liiirVit WMJ "" " ft '*ft"V. Thursday morning they boarded a freight train for their homes in Rock Hill but were put off al I'ineville and started to walk the rest of the way home. Reaching a point about two miles frorr here they lay down alongside the track to rest and it appears that they feii asleep. It is presumed that Charlie Owens was awakened by the coming trail and raised his head just in time to be struck by a part of the enigne. The others did nol wake until some seconds latei when the Irain was brought tc a standstill. The body was placed in a boxcar and brought to Fort Mill anc: in the afternoon was taker charge of by relatives and carried to Rock Hill for burial. The verdict of the coroner's jury was to the elfect that the boy came to his death under circumstances due to his negligence.

W. H. Wallace, editor of the Newberry Observer and amateur gardener, says: "Speaking of gardening: Wonder how many people know how to plant according to the moon. If you don't know you had better find out. Some things grow better if planted in the dark of ; the moon, others if planted in the light of the moon. You may not believfe it, but it's so. Why it is so?that's another question. If you want good potatoes, plant in the dark of the moon; if good beans, plant in the light of the moon. In short, things that grow in the ground should be planted in the dark and those that grow out of the ground should be planted in the light of the moon." , ?
