Does Advertising Pay?
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

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.

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.

Influence on Gardens.
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."

Here's my guarantee?Go to any drug
store and get a 50 cent bottle of Hudson's
Liver Tone. Toko a spoonful and
if it doesn't straighten yoti right up
and make you feel fine and vigorous I
want you to go back to the store and
get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone
is destroying the sale of calomel because
it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable,
therefore it can not salivate or
make you sick.
1 guarantee that one spoonful of Hudson's
Liver Tone will put your sluggish
liver to work and clean your bowels of
that sour bile and constipate! waste
which is clogging your system and making
you feel miserable. I guarantee, that
a bottle of l>>dson's Liver Tone, will
keep your entire iamily feeling line foi
