AX APPRECIATED LETTER. j
F. K. Graham, who has been a lib-!
eral advertising patron of The Her- j
- "* ? X _ t* 1*
aid, writes us as ionows:
"Maj7 I as a patron of your valued
paper express my appreciation of the
valued service rendered me in my
business through your advertising
space? I often think that your rates
are high, and they are, but as long
as I get the results which I do, I cannot
think but that it's the logical
thing that I should advertise. There
are many merchants who never spend
a cent for advertising and are still
successful in business, but without
the service of your advertisements I
do not see how I could do anything.
I invariably get good results from
your paper and only wish that more
of the merchants and business men
would take advantage of your space
and then perhaps you could afford to
cut your rates. Again thanking you
for your services, I remain, etc."
This word comes from Mr. Graham
without solicitation from The Herald
or without knowledge of his intention
of giving this testimonial to the effectiveness
of The Herald's advertising
columns. The only thing that
Mr. Graham is wrong about is the
1 ? * - ? ^ . TVl A
advertising rate ueiiig 111511. ? auc
Herald has certain scruples about its
advertising rate that not all newspapers
have. It charges one price to all
advertisers. We do not grant rebates,
discounts, or commissions to
anybody, either the advertiser or advertising
agencies. Its rate is standard,based
on thescale of theXational
Editorial association of the actual
cosfc of advertising space in country
weeklies, plus a reasonable profit.
The fact that Mr. Graham finds advertising
in The Herald profitable is
proof of the fact that there are certain
elements that go into he making
of his newspaper which make its
advertising attractive to its readers.
* Many of these elements could be
eliminated, at a considerable saving
in the publishing of the paper, but at
a considerable loss in both the usefulness
of the paper and the value
of its advertising columns.
The Herald undertook many years
ago the bold policy of publishing a
grade of paper that is not found in
all towns the size of Bamberg, with

paper stand for themselves, in the
belief that a good newspaper is appreciated
anywhere, and that it will
receive patronage when it is merited.
We do not mean to convey the idea
that The Herald is the best paper in
the world, or that it cannot be improved
on. On the contrary we realize,
perhaps considerably more than
our readers, the shortcomings of the
paper, and it is our constant and
. earnest endeavor to make it better.
SAYS IT IS SUCCESSFUL.
Dozier Hill, of Gough, Ga., is the
originator of the molasses and calcium
arsenate method of boll weevil
poisoning. In an interview with one
of our exchanges Tuesday, Mr. Hill
gives a detailed statement of the results
he has attained through this
method, which he says is the most
successful of all methods he has used,
and he has used all of them. Last
year he made 11 bales to the plow,
though his section is the most heavily
infested, perhaps, in the south. Lack
of space prevents The Herald from
publishing this interview this week,
and it will be given to our readers in
the next issue of the paper. Look for
it. Mr. Hill is said to be one of the
largest and most successful planters
in Georgia, and is a man who is
thoroughly responsible. He gave out
the formula to the public only after
he had tried it out thoroughly on a
large scale, and only after he had
tested all other methods.
The Aiken Journal and Review had
the champion typographical error in
a recent issue. In an article on a
meeting of the W. C. T. l\, reference
was made to the men being admitted
as honorary members. The linotype
man had the word "honorary" twisted
into "oh horrors!" The proofreader
failed to get it. At that a
lot of men will agree with the printed
version.
The Columbia chamber of commerce
inaugurated quite an innovation
last week by holding a "brickbat"
meeting, for the purpose of
giving everybody an opportunity to
make kicks. It wasn't such a bad
idea at that. Public officials and officers
of organizations too frequently
consider themselves the servants of
those who agree with them, forgetting
the fact that they represent the
other side as well. A conscientious
official, public or private, should be
desirous of either conforming themselves
to the will of the people, or
conforming the will of the people to
I ~ *
j his way of thinking. This may bb
| accomplished, if both sides are conI
scientious, by giving the other side a
hearing. Perhaps the kickers are
right: anyway, those acting in a public
capacity ought to be broad-minded
enough to listen to complaints. If
the complaints are just, they may be
! remedied; if unjust the error may be
j pointed out.

| Come, Therefore, and I Will Advertise

Numbers, XXIV: 14.
And I Thought to Advertise Thee
* * *? Ruth, IV: 4.
From the earliest of Biblical days
the value of advertising has been
more and more clearly seen. In
one way or another through all the
ages men have realized that without
publicity or advertising their efforts
would be in vain. The "mighty pomp
and circumstance of war,'' the triumphal
processions of the old Romans,
the varied means adopted to
send information throughout all empires
in olden days, down to the tremendous
displayed advertising campaign
of the British government in
stirring a nation's patriotism and
raising an army of 5,000,000 volunteers,
and similar advertising work
by the American government to sell
Liberty Bonds, were all merely a
broad and ever growing realization
of the power of advertising.
Without advertising England could
not have raised its mighty volunteer
army; without advertising the United
States could not have found 20,000,000
bond buyers.
The same power of advertising
could now "sell'' prosperity to the
whole country. There is enough to
write about and talk about in advertising
to stir the nation to a realization
of our counry's limitless resources
and illimitable development
potentialities. /
The power of all-pervading, all- ,
compelling advertising work, liter
ally alive with the nre or trutn ana
enthusiasm, would quicken every
heart beat, would thrill every American,
would stimulate the young to
deeds of achievement in the business'
world to match the achievements and
the glory of the battlefield, and would
stir afresh the blood of the old. The
flag of America's patriotism unfurled
in advertising, rightly done, the bugle
call to work, the drum beats,
"Charge," would lead us onward to <
commercial power and glory and \
prosperity as worthy of praise as ever . j
was the work of the battlefield. ]
Then down with the pessimism of '
the faint hearted camp followers, and :
up with the flag of optimism! t
Onward with "sound the charge," <
through every well tested and proven \
advertising method, and we would 1
soon see a mighty army of a nation of
105,000,000 people putting to disastrous
rout every faint heart, every
preacher of pessimism in bank, in 1
office and in factory! 1
Some say we cannot afford to ad- ]
vertise. The answer is, you cannot i
afford not to advertise. ^
Why advertise when there is no 1
business to be had? say others. Be- '
cause the only way to create business ^
is by advertising. J
Why advertise when ^e have no J
money to loan? say some bankers; (
and the answer is, no class ever need- 1
ed to cultivate the public's favor 1
I - T"\ 1- - ? t
more than bankers now ao. -remaps you
may have no money to loan to- (
day, as some say; but you are not a *
good banker if you fail to sell credit (
to every customer who has the prop- *
er security with which to buy it. A 1
banker borrows money from his depositors
and sells credit to his borrowers.
It is a merchandise transaction.
It would be a poor merchant who
could not find ways to provide goods (
for his customers so long as they
<
could pay. He is a poor banker who
cannot find credit to sell to his customers
so long as they are able to 1
pay the price and assure the final redemption,
and bankers need to win
public favor just as much as rail- |
roads did 25 years ago. Railroads
missed their opportunity to cultivate
the public and they are now pay- 1
ing the penalty. Bankers, therefore, 4
cannot afford not to advertise. Nor, ]
softer onri anv other class {

of business men. 1
Newspaper publishers intensify J
their ways and means of advertising 1
whenever business men lessen theirs. 1
When business is dull many indus- 1
tries shut down, but when business
is dull newspapers push out with
greater vigor than ever before. They
practice what they preach. Let others
follow their preaching and their
example and soon once more wouldbe
heard "the music of progress, the
whir of the spindle, the throb of the
locomotive, the roar of the furnace.''
Pessimism would be buried beneath
the abounding spirit of optimism.
Credit would be restored to the merchant
and the manufacturer. The
banker would no longer fear to do
business.
The spirit of patriotism for business
is as vitally important to the
j nation's welfare as was the spirit of
EHRHARDT BUREAU
Funeral of E, I>. Dannelly.
A host of relatives and friends attended
the funeral of E. D. Dannelly,
which was held in the Lutheran
church and conducted by Rev. P. D.
Risinger, pastor of the church, Rev.
W. B. Harper, presiding elder, and
Rev. Edwards, ex-presiding elder, of
the Methodist church. Although not
a member of the Lutheran church,
being a member of the Methodist
church, Rev. Risinger, who has
known him for a number of years
and who appreciated his many good
qualities, paid ,him a very high triTV.

further attested the popularity and
the esteem in which he was held by
his many friends.
He had been a sufferer for several
months, much of this time being
spent in hospitals in the effort to regain
his health. He was brought
home from Charleston a few weeks
ago, where he lingered until last
Wednesday morning, when he passed
away.
"Bert'' Dannelly, as he was known
by all, was a young man, but in the
short time given him to live he established
a reputation for straight-forwardness,
honesty, and business
ability. He was a member of the
firm of Dannelly Brothers and J. S. &
E. D. Dannelly. He was energetic,
broad-minded, and public spirited.
He meant much to the life of his
town and community and he will be
sadly missed. He leaves a wife and
many friends and relatives to mourn
their loss.
Attended School Conference.
Prof. L. E. Kirby, superintendent
of the Ehrhardt school, attended the
high school conference for superintendents,
trustees and teachers, held
in Rock Hill during the past week. He
reports a very good meeting.
Attending Summer School.
Jrof. Clyde Herndon is attending
the summer school for teachers being
held at Furman university. Prof.
Herndon is an A. B. graduate of Furman
and taught during the past year
in the Ehrhardt high school.
Summer Pastimes.
These are summer months and
3
even in normal times business is dull,
jut nowadays you seldom ever find an
idle merchant or clerk in Ehrhardt.
[f they are not waiting on a customer,
which, in truth must be said, is not
as often as it used to be, you will find
hem busily engaged in placing checkers.
In fact the only time checker
?ames are not in progress is when a
base-ball game is on hand.
What One Farmer Did.
There are more ways than one?
:he one way being to plant cotton, as
aur farmers think?for the farmer to
nake a good living and prosper, as
is evidenced by the testimony of an
Ehrhardt farmer, who was talking
vith the writer a few days ago. Lisen
to what this farmer said: "I
laven't planted a hill of cotton this
ear. I planted rye, oats, corn, beans,
)eas, peanuts, potatoes, and sugarcane.
I have just finished harvesting
ny oats and rye and have the crops
*eady to put on the market at any
ime. I have plenty of hogs and some
cows. I have gone in debt just $25
o make this crop. I made some mon
jy last year this way and I am going
:o make more this year, the boll-weeril
notwithstanding."
mm
A Bargain.
The other day a stranger entered
:he Indiana National Bank and wanted
to borrow $5. He was told that
:he bank did not lend such small
sums.
"But," he went on, "lending money,
is your business, isn't it?"
The banker admitted that it was.
"Well, I have good security," said
;he stranger, "and I want to borrow
*5."
Finally, the banker, half from fatigue
and half from amused curiosity,
agreed to make the loan. When the
note was all drawn and the interest
of 35 cents paid, the stranger drew
from his pocket $10,000 worth of
irnvcrnmoni hnndc and handed them I
3 W > V_ i L
aver as security. Before the banker
could express his astonishment the
stranger said: "Now, this is something
like it. Over at the other bank
they wanted me to pay $10 just for a
safety deposit box to keep these
things in!"?Houston Post.

DENTIST RECEIVES SENTENCE.
Dr. M. A. Woods to Pay $1,000 Fine
and Serve IS Months.
Charleston, June 18.?In federal
court today, Judge H. A. M. Smith
sentenced Dr. M. A. Woods, dentist
of Columbia, convicted of violating
the narcotic act, to $1,000 fine, with
costs, and IS months in the federal
prison at Atlanta. ^
Counsel for he defendant gave notice
of appeal, and Dr. Woods was
released under bond of $5,000, pending
the outcome of the appeal. Dr.
Woods was found guilty several days
ago, and a motion for a new trial
was refused by Judge Smith, who announced
he would impose sentence
today. The defendant was charged
with selling cocaine to two addicts
under four counts. Judge Smith has
adjourned the June term.

LIGHTXIXG KILLS FARMER.
W. P. Gardiner, of Near Timmonsville,
is Struck.
Timmonsville, June 19.?This afternoon
about 3 o'clock W. P. Gardiner,
a farmer, living on McCothran's
place near here, was struck and instantly
killed by lightning during an
electrical storm which visited this
section. It is said at the time that
Mr. Gardiner was standing on his
porch with another man and had just
reached up for a dipper of water
when a bolt of lightning striking a
piazza post near him, hit him. The
funeral will take place Monday.
Several small children survive. Mrs.
Gardiner died a few months ago.
Lightning this afternoon also
struck an outbuilding near Carter's
planing mill here, setting on fire some
cotton stored in it. The fire company
was called out immediately and
the blaze was soon extinguished.

Spook Stops Stone in Mid-air.
On the Tahiti Island, near Papeete,
there is a cave which the natives say
is enchanted, being the burial place
of a wizard of old. There is nothing
unusual about the appearance of this
cave, and as one stands at the entrance
the opposite wall does not
seem to be far away across a body.of
very cold water. When visitors are
told that no one has ever thrown a
stone that has reached the wall they
look incredulous, and immediately
make the endeavor, only to be surprised
to see that the stone seems
to stop in its flight and fall into the
water, after it has gone but a few
feet.
