During the past two or three weeks many Charleston business men have received a package of three neckties from an alleged "Blind Tie Man," claiming that he was totally blind and was supporting himself in this manner, J. Gil-more Smith of the Board of Trade stated yesterday. Knowing from experience, with similar cases, that the average lot of merchandise sent through the mail without request, accompanied by a direct or indirect appeal for charity, will not appraise as high in value as similar merchandise from the local stores, an executive of the bureau made a tour of the retail stores on King street and found that practically identical neckties retail in Charleston for fifteen cents, or seven for one dollar. "The Better Business Bureau," Mr. Smith said, regards this particular method of merchandising as a nuisance to the public as well as an unfair method of competition to the legitimate business of local merchants who are taxpayers in Charleston and who are liberal supporters of our charitable institutions. Acting upon numerous complaints by the business men of the cjty, the Charleston Board of Trade has communicated with various better business bureaus of the country suggesting a nation-wide investigation of the many schemes of promotions exploiting the blind and has just been advised by eleven of the bureaus that complying with the Board of Trade's appeal a general merchandise information bulletin has been sent out to the civic and commercial organizations of the country asking their cooperation in stopping -this annoying, unethical and unfair method of merchandising now being used by promoters coupled with a disguised plea for charity or sympathy which is regat ded us uuusutly vicious. "B?iauiid of the tremendous success of the various 'blind men' in securing business through an indirect 'blind' plea, the tie fever* seems to be inoculating the blind and disabled of a number of Western cities. N'o doubt the spread >f the 'disease* is being speeded with .njecti'ins' by shrewd promoters," delated the bulletin. "In our opinion, the quickest way to iid Charleston of this new menace to the business men of the eity?the si nding of unordered merchandise? is to make the business unprofitable for those engaged in it. The way to make it unprofitable is to cause losses through non-returns," states Mr. Smith. "A reeipient of unordered merchandise is under no obligation to perform the labor required to place that merchandise in the mails for return to the sender. It is sufficient that the merchandise be kept in a safe place for a reasonable length r.of time so that it may be handed to a personal representative of the company should such a representative call and ask for the return of the merchandise. The recipient should not use the merchandise because its use would signify acceptance of the offer. No doubt the failure of recipients to return merchandise except upon personal call would have a tendency to discourage the sending of unordered merchandise by mail. "Our investigation of the scheme of the alleged 'blind tie man' is that he is not an individual, but a large manufacturing institution which is literally flooding this country with unordered neckties. The board of directors of the Board of Trade has arranged for the organization to accept and store all unordered mcrv-handise and will act as agent for the recipients. We shall notify the sender that the merchandise is being hold by the Board of Trade -subject to a storage charge of 25 cents per week per package, and that it will be held for a reasonable length of time in the event that a personal representative of the sender should call for it," said Mr. Smith.

J . I'll THKKB NEW FORI) MODELS i " Henry Ford About to Bring Out Four, ? Hix, and Eight Cylinder Model* New York, April 22.?Henry Ford i.s about to bring out throe new models, according to report* in Wall Street. Hanker* familiar with the automotive industry hear Mr. Ford soon will announce a new four-cylinder model, somewhat along general lines of the present model, to sell around $460. The same sources understand a six-cylinder model, to sell around $776 ia. planned while the Kdsel H, now ftttid to be under construction will sell around $1,160. These models, with the present Ford and Lincoln line.^ would give Lord dealers a car in every price class which, the trade asserts, is the cause of the success of the General Motors Corporation. Henry Ford, so bankers hear, plan* to inauguratea new policy with his dealer organisation. The details were not revealed. Repurchase of the Ixmg Island City plant by the Ford Motor Company from William C. Durant wa^ said to be the forerunner of increased Ford activities in this vicinity. The plant formerly was used for assembling Lord cars, but was abandoned when the Kearney, N. J., factory was erected. Mr. Cochran, partner of J. P. Morgan <fc Company, before sailing fori Europe July 31st, predicted General Motors would udvance 100 points within two or three years. Last August General Motors paid a stock dividend of 50 per cent. The old shares therefore, to fulfill the Cochran prediction, had to reach 193. Yesterday they soared 100 points. The big bulge in General Motors occurred after 10,400 shares were sold to Wright, Slade & Company at 190, involving $1,976,000, one of the biggest contracts ever executed on the New York Stock Klxchange. It is unders^Hxl the reported buyer acquired the stock from several sellers. * Blames Trouble To Liquor Kilty Prison, Montgomery, Ala., April 27.?Declaring that he had atoned for the crime he committed and that he believed himself saved, \ irgil Murphy, former service man, was electrocuted here early Saturday for the murder of his wife last fall.

Hov. To Behave in Public Places Good breeding tells in good manners. Thoughtless actions may stamp you as an ill-bred person, or an ignoramus. Actions wholly appropriate to the street or the playground may be quite out of place at a public perI formancc or in a public building. Avoid running, romping or the making of unnecessary noise. On entering the room take a seat immediately and remain in it until the performance is over. Between acts or during intermissions talk in ^entir~tfriTesr Avoid .eating in the hall. Avoid dropping paper on the floor. Shooting paper wads, airplanes or other objects stamps one immediately a> ill-bred. Help keep the room clean, neat anil orderly. Protect the property. I he appearance on the platform of one who is to speak to you should be your signal for immediate silence and attention. Don't wait to be called to order, call yourselves to order. You should be attentive and silent, not only when some one is talking to you from the platform and when a number of any kind is being given, but also during a movie. People who visit while others are trying to entcrtain them are a public nuisance. Don t let yourselves slip into that class. Also do not tell the plot of a pla\ or movie to your neighbor. I^et him enjoy the discovery for himself. N(\er in the auditorium or in any o?h<-: place where there is a large group of people should you stand and beckon, whistle, or call to attract the attention of your friends. If you enter after the program has begun, find a seat so noiselessly as to escape notice. Show your appreciation cordially, but avoid excessive applause. Never stamp your feet or whistle. -Carried beyond a certain point applause ceases to be a courtesy. Cultivate good taste m this matter. Moderation is a mark of good taste. Never stand unless there is no room. Then stand at the rear or side, never in the front. Mark yourself as a lady or gentle- ! man bred in every action. Advertise i your home and parents as men and ! women of fine families. Honor Roll Midway High School Grade 1?Calvin Anderson, Clyburn Elliott, William McCoy, Hazel Davis, Rebecca Raley, Dorothy West.
