Thursday, March 23, 1916. ||fsfev"- " The State, in a recent issue, calls attention to the fact that many of the socalled high class periodicals, yQ -, magazines and newspapers, have dis% > continued advertising whiskey and patent medicines, but they carry big advertisements, cleverly worded and attractive, of numerous brands of pis||v ? tols. It is true. One can hardly open a magazine without having displayed before his eyes big advertiseWr, ments of weapons which are used tor |v little else in this world than to kill with?and to kill your fellow man. J . Orangeburg has recently secured a broom and mattress factory, a veneering plant, and a packing, house has grT been organized with a capital of $50,000. We understand that all of gj; * these enterprises were secured feU through the agency of the chamber rxf morfo nf that citv. In other jjf VI wui utv* vv V?. ? words had there not been an organization, the purpose of which is to try to secure new enterprises?for one thing?Orangeburg would not have had added to her industries three magnificent plants. It is nobody's gffc't - business to look after such matters in Bamberg, and we are not securing so very many new enterprises. It is the endeavor of The Herald management to give courteous attention to every communication received, but if our readers would observe one rule that has been in force in this of: < fice for many years, we would be sav; . / ed the trouble of writing a good many letters. Scarcely a week passes that we ao not receive uuc ui mvit requests to give publication to notices of entertainments of various character, at which either an admisfsion is charged or articles are offered for sale for the purpose of raising money. The Herald cannot publish : tj; ' such notices - as news. We consider matter as advertising where it gives publicity to any kind of a meeting the primary purpose of which is to make money?no matter for what purpose the money is to be used. We derive our principal revenue from selling our advertising space, and must, therefore, charge regular advertising rates for matter that is advertising?and we consider such miatter as above noted advertising. If our friends would bear this in mind in writing us, it would save both them and The Herald considerable . uselesss correspondence. SCREEN TRICKS. Why Do Moving Pictures Seem So Life-Like? It takes a certain amount 01 time to affect the eye, says March Popular Science Monthly. You do not see things instantaneously. If you move a lighted cigar in a dark room very gwf"-. I rapidly you see what is apparently a continuous curve of light. The motion pictures reproduce movements faithfully for the same V . reason. Before the eye has a chance to see a picture in its entirety a new picture is flashed on the screen. The pictures appear and vanish at the rate of sixteen a second, in other words, so rapidly that the effect of continuous motion is produced. Advantage is taken of this to produce very curious and unnatural ef fects: for example, an old Duncungi tearing itself down, a hole digging j ' itself in the ground, a skyscraper | growing up from a foundation with-j out the aid of human hands. The1 camera operator has simply taken a picture of the demolition of the old "building and the construction of the skyscraper at the rate of perhaps one an hour, but projects them all in twenty minutes.
