Liberal Jack. Free oxhibition! Free distribu tion! Right up on the couri house square!" Thoso were the words spoken in clarion tones b) "Liberal Jack" last Saturday morn ing. Now Jack \vas an innoceni looking young man, and took the pains to explain to the satisfactiori of all that his nlaml was J. F. Pell, ropresenting the Poll M'f'g. Co., of Charleston. He stated that at Iis homo0 in Charleston, he was known as "Liberal Jack", because he gave away so much jewelry and money to advertise the house for which ho was traveling. Jack then wont through the mo tion of hypnotizng a little nigger ho had along in the buggy. This exposition was startling in the ex tremo-tho little niggor shut his eves as he was told to do and looked just like any other sleepy little nigger would, that had drunk a quart of buttermilk and eaten half a dozon big "nigger chokers." lack saw that his per formanco had creatod but little on. thusiasm, and oxplained that this was Imerely a )10l11( to get the crowd togathor. 'Tho time had come lo' action. "Gentleuen, I am here to-day to make walking, talking, breathinq advertisers out of you! Come clo ser, gentlemen!" The populace smiled approvingly and came clo. sor. "I am going to give away-ab solutelT give away-100 pairs of these fine aluminum cuff buttons!" 'Ihe popuiace chuckled and el bowed their way a little closer to "Liberal Jack." Jack then pro tOne(ld that ho heard some "Smart Aleck" sayl he was going to sell them. lie promiscuously threw out a few pairs to show what "Smart Alock" had told. He fur ther lroposed to show "Smart Aleck" that he could sell a few if he wanted to and proceeded to tell several at 25c each. The pop. ulaco chuckled and chunked in thsir chink. Those who trusted him for a luarter, got from the hat a quarter and a ring or a pair of cuff buttons, 8ome got even two quarters, especially those beaaing the name of "Liberal Jack" and "'J. F. Pell,'' The populace lusti ly chuckled their approval of this distribution. Jack then held up a number of glittering chains and stated that lie was going to give every man one that would wear it. He again scored "Smart Aleck" and stated that ho would just show him that lie could soll the chains for $1. And the p)opulace chuckled and chuoked in their chink. Jack then triumphantly called out: "Men I am going to make you proud. Some "neighbor"just to put "Sm-art Aleck" to shame, let me have a dollar, and after awbile you'll be proud with your draw from the hat''! And the populaoe chuckled and chunked in their chink. WVhen the interest or demand for chains lagged the least bit, they were marked "Liberal Jack", "'J, F. Pell" and finally "Last." Thee wer'e aull favorite brauds, and the people chueleled and chunked it their chink. When Jack had disposed o: about 75 chamns at $1 each, lie an nonunced that he would hold anoth er sale at 3 o'clock in the after noon, and coolly drove away. Th4 populace winked and blinked bul their chink was gone. Somw thought of tihe old adage the3 learned in their youth, "The foe and his money are soon parted" others turned on their heels and began to whistle the plaintive air "It I only had a dollar of my own.' Moral: Don't expect to ge something for nothing. We havy given a full description of thi f"skin gamne"-not for the benefi Sof the unfortunates last Saturday for they don't need any advice a Sour hands-but simply to put hon est, unsuspecting Pickens count; citizens on their guard again. this andI similar swindles.
