There was no specific mention in the bill of golf, which Governor Richards has declared to be forbidden by the present law, but it was said during the debate and not denied, that the game would not be prohibited by this bill. The vote on passage was 58 to 52, coming immediately after a 56 to 51 vote by which the House refused to reenact the bill as moved by Repre sentative Medlin, of Clarendc i. Only three out of a host of pro posed amendments were adopted. One by Representative Pegues and Me Bau lin eliminated ice cream, which would have been permited under the Senate bill. Another by the same authors eliminated a phrase authorizing work “for the good of the community” leaving the section permitting only works of necessity and mercy. The other amendment adopted, sponsored by Mr. Rivers, of Charles ton, would authorize work that “is reasonably necesary to preserve pro perty and to prevent loss.” Among the amendments, rejected was one by Representative Dabbs, of Sumter, to legalize the operating of trans and public utilities on Sundays. A proposal by Mr. Purdy of Jasper, to permit the sale of soft drinks, j cigarettes and confectionary was tab led, 8i to 27, while another amend ment by the same author to make Sun day laws a matter of local option was overwhelmingly rejected. Defeat was aclmin'stered also to'a substitute bill offered by Representa- itives McCaslan, King and Buist Rivers, j which was described by Mr. Purdy as ! “Governor Richards’ bill,” hut Mr. j McCaslan declared it was not the [governor’s measure. It would have ! prohibited public sp irts and the sale of all articles save gasoline and simi lar necessities of a very limited class. LOCAL MEN TO GO TO WILMINGTON each county. Hotels.

Their aims are the same. Th*y seek to con vincingly make known the merits of products to the end that present customers shall be retailed and new custom ers acquired. Good salesmanship is advertising, good ad vertising is salesmanship. w Neither of these business twins can flourish or survive without the other. To cut off the arm of one Is an injury to the other. To limit the one is to limit the other. To weaken the one is to take away the power of the other. Wise business men as they seek to expand their busi ness, increase their selling and advertising effort. Successful merchants and chain stores advertise as many days in the week and weeks in the month and months in the year as they want to do business in.
