' V CHEBAW CHRONICLE JOE IIMDSAY, Editor Foreign Advertising RepresentAtive THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION | "With Cooperating Marketing almost a sure thing, it would be well for the merchant and banker to consider what effect this will have on the business of the towns and cities where cotton has heretofore been sold on tht streets from wagons and paid for, on the spot. When the marketing plan gets to doing business the farmer will get his pay, at his own door, through the mails. The town or city that keeps in touch with the farmer through attractive advertising will get his business. He will have time to consider well where he will buy his needs and the newspaper will serve to inform him where his dollar will go the farthest. Mail order houses will be on the job and will without a doubt do a bigger business than ever before because they will keep attractive advertising in the hands of the farmer. The banks in the different towns in every section will have to keep their names before the farmers or lose business. The merchants will have to let the farmer know he has the goods at right prices. The bankers and farmers of Cheraw should begin now to prepare for a change which is bound to come wit the Cooperative Marketing plan by advertising in a way that will make the man behind the plow see that it will be to his advantage to bank and trade in Cheraw. Then be in position to hold his trade when he starts getting his money at home. o "We know our readers will welcome several new advertisements in this issue. "We all like to be invited to trade with a firm because then we fee! that our patronage is appreciated. After all. an advertisement is just an invitation, showing that a merchant will appreciate our business and wants i' enough to ask for it. In his advertisements he tells you of what he has for sale so that we ma: know the line wherein he can serv< "s. and invites us to his store to buy Wouldn't you rather trade with th place where you are invited to trad< than with the one who fails to issue you an invitation. Read our advertise ments and buy your needs from thos? who want your business . enough t( ask for it. ALL HONOR TO PUMPKIN PIE fervid Admirer About Right When H? Accords It First Place Among the Season's Dishes. Most of us easily, and. let us venture to say, naturally, call it "punkln" pie, but this?unintentionally, of course?is the malevolence of mispronunciation. There is no punk in pumpkin. Pumpkin pie is a delectable. Some of the scientists, or perhaps nearscientists, say that fish is brain food. If they would eat a couple of quarters of pumpkin pie once a day for a week, they would know where gray matter really has its origin. The frost sometimes may be on the pumpkin, as the Hoosier poet tells us, but it is never on the pumpkin pie. The only place where it meets with a freezeout Is in the restaurant where they attempt to make squash masquerade as pumpkin. We always have had a suspicion that some restaurant table spreaders do not know what they are serving. We ran against proof of it tiie other day, when on ordering pumpkin pie we received a counterfeit slab of squash, and on remonstrating were told by the ungenial personal purveyor that "squash and pumpkin is the same thing." It is the time of crisp days. Their seasonable companions in joy for the Jaded are pumpkin pie, country sausage and buckwheat cakes. The pie, however, has the better of ils table comrades. With entire propriety and with certainty or aceiaim it can appear thrice daily. Anyone who looks crosseyed at pie for breakfast is no Judge either of the leganeies of life or of the esculents which make life worth living.?Chicago Post. FEAT OF GIANT LOCOMOTIVE Biggest in the World, It Pulls a Load of Approximately Sixteen Thousand Pounds. Visualize, if you can, a freight train over u mile in length, the longest train that was ever hauled, carrying a load of coal approximating thlrty-nvo million pounds, puUed over the HIue ltidge and Alleghany mountains by the biggest locomotive in the world, and you have a mental picture of the feat in heavy hauling that was accomplished recently on the Virginian railway, between Princeton, \V. Va., and Roanoke. Vu., in the presence of 85 prominent , representatives of the lending railroads in this country, which Is described as inaugurating a new era in modern | railroad development. These demonstrations represented tests and trials covering a range of a wide ami exhaustive nature. It was shown that the operation of the locomotive. consuming on an average six tons of coal per hoar, was an easy matter with the duplex stoker, a mechanical device which takes the place of firemen. The following are details connected with the largest demonstration train: The locomotive and tender weighed 440 tons and measured approximately 125 feet in length. 'I lie train was composed of lob r;:rs, e;t?h of which weighed 40 tons and measured 51 feet. The loud carried by each ear represented 120 tons of coal, making the total weight pulled by the engine approximately lfi.Uou tons or 52,000,000 pounds. \ COOPERATIVE MARKETING V Marlboro 21,676 bales Darlington 18,760 bales Sumter 10,806 bales Dillon 7,136 bales Marlboro went into first pluce last Thursday after a gallant fight and has managed since that time to increase its lead on that place.
