No. 112. Entered at the postofllce at Fort Mill. 8. C.. as mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. MAY 4. 1916. Fake Advertising. In defining today more clearly than ever before what constitutes dishonest advertising through the mails, the supreme court held in effect that advertisers, even though they give purchasers value received for their money, are guilty of fraud if by exaggerated advertising propaganda they have led clients to expect more, relates a Washington dispatch of April 24. Officials declare the decision will pave the way to scorces of prosecutions and make possible the enforcement of a much more stringent federal supervision of mail advertising. The opinion was announced by Justice McKenna, reversing the district court in the southern district of Florida, which quashed an indictment against officials of the New South Farm and Home company. The indictment charged unlawful use of the mails in selling ten acre farms. The Florida court held that if a purchaser received the money's worth, exaggerated propaganda was not fraudulent. Justice McKenna took the position that it was an offense if the article sold did not serve the purpose represented, no matter what the value might be. In discussing what constituted a criminal offense under the statute .governing the use of the mails, Justice McKenna said: "Mere 'puffing' might not be within its meaning (of this, however, no opinion need be expressed), that is, the mere exaggeration of the qualities which the article has; w.hen a nronnsprt spllpr trnps hpvnnd thnt and assigns to the article qualities which it does not possess, does not simply magnify the advantage which it has, and falsely invests it with advantages and falsely asserts their existence, he transcends the limits of 'puffing' and engages in false representations and pretenses. "When the pretenses or representations or promises which execute the deception and fraud are false they become the scheme or artifice which the statute denounces. Especially is this true in the purchase of small tracts for homes." The case against the Florida company goes back to the Florida court for further proceedings. Life. Man comes into this world without his consent and leaves against his will. During his stay on earth, his time is spent in the continuous round of contraries and misunderstandings. In his infancy he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his manhood he is everything from a scoundrel up; in his duties he is a ignoramus; if raises a family he is a chump; if he raises a check he is a thief, and then the law raises him; if he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest but he is considered smart; if he is in politics I he is a grafter and a crook; if he is out of politics you can't place him as he is an undesirable i citizen; if he goes to church he is a hypocrite; if he stays away 1 he is a sinner; if he donates to foreign missions he does it for show; if he doesn't he is stingy, and a tightwad. When he first comes into this world everybody wants to kiss hin>?before he goes out they all want to kick , him out. If he dies young there: was a great future before him. ! Life is a funny proposition after all. ?Selected. Brands Them as Robbers. In a vigorous fashion Senator B. R. Tillman Friday afternoon expressed his satisfaction at the decision of the South Carolina supreme court in upholding the constitutionality of the anti-eomi pact fire insurance law, says a 1 rj* 4. ' r i I . >. Washington news despatch. He does not believe the lawyers in the case will appeal to the United States supreme court "unless j those behind them have got more money than sense." With lively terms the Senator condemned the practices adopted by the Southeastern Tariff association in charging what he described as "unnecessarily high rates." He charged that the association robbed our people of i large sums of money since the war. The suit was inspired largely, ! he charged, "by those newspa- I pers of the State which are capitalistic in their policies." When his attention was directed to the decision of the court, he made the following statement: 4'I have for a long time thought that the Southeastern Tariff association was imposing on our people and charging them unnecessarily high rates?and that they have robbed our people of large sums of money since the war. 4,Like other New York capitalists they think the country people have no rights they are bound to respect?and they think all except New Yorkers are country people. "They have arbitrarily raised rates without any reason and in every possible way shown that they were looking out for their ( own interests and did not care a damn about the people who were insured with them."

John K. Logan. ~ STUNG! Mr P. L. Wagner, assistant superintendent of the Millfort Mill, says: "For nearly 15 years I carried $1,000 life insurance in one of the fraternal orders at a cost of $16.56 per year. A short while ago I received notice that hereafter my premium woud be $28.32 per year. I declined to pay it and have taken a policy in the Union Central Life in which I find that my net premium at the end of the first year will be $27.25 for $1,000 not including premium lor disability benefits. 1 find that if 1 had taken a policy in the Union Central at the time I took the fraternal policy, my last premium would have been $14.80 and the policy would now have a cash value of $158.00 if I decided t<> drop it. In the case of the fraternal i>olicy, I have nothing to show for all the years of payment while my advanced age makes mv premium in the old line company cost me $12.20 per $1,000 more than it would have cost tne 15 years ago, I have been stung, all right."
