THE READING OF ADVERTISEMENTS
In the Intelligencer Will Yield You a KancUome Return.
If you were offered fifty cents in real money to read
all the ads- in the Intelligencer every day, you would accept
the offer immediately, for fear that the offer would be with
drawn".
There is not a single day passes, but that the Intelli
gencer contains ads., which would afford you the opportunity
of saving a dollar or so, on goods that you could use to
advantage.
No doubt the life insurance agent tried several times to
get an audience with you, to tell you the benefits of in
surance before you would allow him the CHANCE to do
you and your family a tremendous favor. You realize
NOW, that while this life insurance agent made money for
himself, he certainly did you a good turn, when he finally
sold you your life insurance.
You would read all the ads- in each issue of the In
telligencer, if you were CONVINCED that it would pay
you, wouldn't you? * * <
1 wish to do you as great a favor as the life insurance
agent, who sold you your insurance, so please read the fol
lowing reasons, and then think over the matter:
Why do manufacturers of the very best known articles
of commerce continue to advertise their goods?
) Why is it that the most successful retailers and de
partment stores spend a great amount of money every day
advertising their goods in the newspapers?
There is but one answer and that is:-"IT IS THE
CHEAPEST KNOWN METHOD OF SELLING GOODS."
Advertising will increase the volume of business of
any article of commerce that has REAL MERIT; if its an
article without merit, the. less advertising the better for the
retailer.
The biggest problem of the retailer is thc sale of his
goods; he can handle the other branches with much less
trouble, because with his knowledge of the lines of mer
chandise that he proposes to sell, he can buy his goods with
safety, then comes the arrangement of his stock and the
location of his store, and his store fixtures.
That brings him up to the opening of his place of busi
ness ; he is now ready to begin business.
Please remark that-HE IS NOW READY TO BE
GIN BUSINESS.
He has bought the very best goods for the money that
he could buy, in order to be able to sell them at a profit.
And most any person with average intelligence can buy
goods as cheaply as another.
Now the merchant is ready to sell goods-that's the
NUT that he must crack before he succeeds. He must
sell ENOUGH goods at a profit to take care of his RENT,
LIGHT, ICE, FUEL, DELIVERY, TAXES, INSURANCE
and the COST OF SELLING, viz: WINDOW TRIMMING,
CLERK HIRE and ADVERTISING.
You see that the bigger the volume of business that he
gets the less it costs him to sell goods. You see that, don't
you?
His OVERHEAD expense is about the same per year,
whether he sells $20,000 or $5o,ooo, so If he can increase
his sales $30,000 by a judicious expenditure for newspaper
advertising, he will make more money, won't he? And on
an increased volume of business, he can afford to sell to
YOU, Mr. Consumer, on a much smaller per cent of profit.
See that?
All this being true, it Is money in your pocket to buy
ONLY advertised goods; in fact, when you buy an unad
vertised article, you are boosting .the price on yourself.
It will pay you well, to read the ads. in the Intelli
gencer daily.

CONSTABLE KILLED ll
? WHO RESISTED
_
THE LATTER DREW SHOT
GUN ON OFFICER AND
THREATENED HIM
INQUEST HELD
Killing Occured Saturday in Hope
well Section-Negro Had
Been Fugu?ve.
Details of the killing of a negro
named Lawson Gaillard by Truman
Wilbur, constable for Magistrate A.
M. Guyton of the Hopewell section,
(last Saturday morning, which occur
red tn. a negro house near the Ander
son-Oconee county line, when the offi
cer attempted to arrest the negro on
an old warrant, were not knowd in the
city until 6 o'clock Sunday morning,
when. Coroner Hardin and Deputy
Sheriff J. Olin Sendera returned from
holding an Inquest. Late Saturday af
ternoon the sheriff's office was notified
that a killing had occurred in the
Hopewell section and the coroner and
deputy sheriff left here about five
o'clock. At that time they knew none
of the particulars of the case.
It seems that Constable Wilbur and
a friend, T. O. Trammell, were out
hunting Saturday morning when the
former was adviaed that Lawson Gall
lard, who had been a fugitive for
something like a year, was back in
that section and at the home of one
Dock Burts. The constable at once
went to the home of Burts and advised
Gaillard that he had a warrant for
him. When the constable asked Gail
lard to come with him, the latter re
fused to go, lt ia said, The constable
went into the house after the negro,
it is said, and Gaimard drew a knife
on him. When told to put up . the
knife, it waa testified at Gie inquest,
the negro refused, declaring that lt
was his knife, that he paid for it and
would useJt as he saw flt. The officer
attempted to take the knife from the
negro, lt is reported, when the latter
advanced into another room,where he
picked np a double barrel shot gun
and pointed lt at the officer.
Constable Wilbur had a single bar
rel shot gun with which he bsd been
hunting, and when he saw Gaillard
raise hie gun, the offlrer fired upon
the negro. The load of shot, struck
the negro in the top of the hesd and
mutilated him terribly. It appeared
that the officer did not have time to
get his gun to his shoulder before
firing, this being evident from the
manner in which the load of abot
struck the negro.
There were but three witnesses to
the affair, T. O. Trammell and Do?k
Burts and his wife. The testimony of
all three substantiated the statement
of the officer. Coroner Hardin receiv
ed word of the killing late Saturday
afternoon and he and Deputy Sheriff
Sanders set out for the scene of the
an cir, arriving there about 9 o'clock.
A Jury was empaneled and the inquest
held, a verdict being returned to the
effect that the negro came to his
death from gunshot wounds at the
hands of Wilbur. The officers reached
Anderson on the return trip about 5
o'clock Sunday morning.
The killing occurred on Mr. Sam
Reeve's plantation, about ll o'clock
Saturday morning. Mr. Wilbur is
about 23 years of sge and the son of
a well known farmer of that section.
He and his father came to the city
yesterday afternoon to confer with
Solicitor Smith with reference to the
constable obtaining bond.

TWO ELOPEMENTS BUI
ONE ENDS MOST SAD
ONE BRIDEGROOM GOES TO
PRISON-THE OTHER TO
THE FARM
BRIDES TOO YOUNG
-,
How Judge Bro?dwell Pacified
the Turbulent Feelings of
Father-in-Law.
Harsh clanging of prison doors up
on a bridegroom within less than an
hour after he had led a blushing dam
sel of tender years to Hymen's altar,
is the cruel ending of a little romance
which had its Inception two years
ago in the youth taking up his resi
dence in the lass' borne.
Arrest your grief at this point, gen
tle reader, for another tale of similar
hue, but which came to a happy end
ing. A bridegroom of but two days,
upon whose head an Irate father-in
law had threatened to vl3it the law,
is today located upon a large farm,
with a good, young mule to engage his
attention, instead of in the cotton
mill, with a whirring loom to fill his
ears and demand his constant atten
tion.
These two little romances, the one
ending so tragically and the other so
happily, came to light yesterday in tho
court of Magistrate Broad well. And
it is owing to his common sense and
good Judgment that the bridegroom
whose romance ended so happily is
not keeping company with the bride
groom who is languishing behind pris
on bars.
Married In Greenville.
Yesterday morning a stern old mani
and a meek, tender-eyed old lady'
came Into Magistrate Broad well's
office. The old man Informed the!
judge that he wanted a warrant tor
a young white fellow who had stolen
his only child, a girl of some Iii year,
and married her- The old fellow's
name is Pearson and ho owns a large
farm near Pelser. The couple had
but one child, and she wan the idol of
the old father's heart and the apple
of the mother's eye. The old couple
seemed heart broken over the affair,
and wbat appears to grieve them more
was the manner in which the daughter
had surprised them. The old man
said that he and hts wife had been
in Greenville, where the couple had
gone to get the license and marry,
and were told Gust they should get
the warrant in Anderson. This was
evidently a ruse on the part of the
Greenville officers to avoid having
anything to do with the matter. The
father averred that the bridegroom
had been to see his daughter but
twice and that she had gotten but two
letters from him. He came armed
with his Bible and was ready to show
the magistrate tho justice of his posi
tion, i
Jndge Advises.
When the old man had finished his
tale Judge Broadwell had a few
words to say. He stated that he had
known the bridegroom, a Mr. Stone,
for a number of year's, and knew htm
to be an industrious and God fearing
man and in every respect worthy of
the hand ot any daughter in ?Gie com
munity. He advised the parents to
leave the couple alone, as any Inter
ference with their happiness might
spell rum for both. The old man be
gan to grow interested in the judge's
words, and the expression on the face
of the good old lady began , to change.
When the Judge explained that prob
ably the girl told the young man that
she was 18 years of age (the legal
age) and that maybe he could not
make a charge of false swearing
against the bridegroom, the old man
bristled up and shouted, "No, sir, my
daughter is a Christian girl and she
would not tell a He."
Judge BroadweU reasoned that that
was all true, but warned the old fel
low that when lt came to mattera of
the heart a little white Be about such
a thing as a girl's age might not be
considered an unchristian act. Ono
more the old man's head nodded lo
assent. But the master stroke oy the
Judge was vvhen he aaked the old man
Gals, "Sir, how old was your wife
when you were married." When Gie
old lady replied that she was between
lt and .17, the judge mused, "There
now, you would prosecute this young
i jan for doing tho same thing for
which you yourself would have been
prosecuted had the marriage license
law existed at that time."
Alls Well That Ends Well.
This shot from Gie magistrate com-1
pletely routed the old man. But the!
magistrate was not through. Yet an-J
o*her vcll~? he 2rc2 ?- tum? ?*?>??,
"Now, I tell you what you do. You
and Gie old lady go ovter yonder and
take dinner with your daughter and
son-in-law; treat them nice, and sug
gest to the young mau that he go back
to tkefarm with you and help comfort
you and Gie old lady in your declining
years, and let him go before you and
make Gie rough placea smooth."
The words ot the magistrate went
heme, for Ute old fellow came back
at Gie Judge with his. "B/ Georgs. 1
hadn't thought of that. I've got a
spanking good pair ot young mules
back home and IH simply take that
fellow back to my farm and put him
to ploughing. Come on. Hon', let's go
have dinner with the children."
ThU Eade Badly.
Scarcely had thia old couple de
parted when another irate father ap
proached the magistrate and asked,
for a warrant for one Anderson Spear
man, a young white man working in |
Gie Brecon mill, who bad Just left
with his 15 year old daughter. Fannie
ThomersoP, Tbs fattie' waa Of Gie Un
pression that the couple were going
to marry and go off on the 6 o'clock'
train for Seneca. A warrant waa has
tily, drawn up and given to Deputy
Williams, who surprised the couple in
about an hour after they had been
married by the Rev. Scutty White,
who paused in bis labors in the Bry
gon mill long enough to tie the knot.
lt seems that Spearman came to the
bouse of the girl some two years ago
Lp board. The two years of living un
der the same roof served to draw
them on? toward the other, resulting
in their elopement yesterday.

V7A8HINGTON, Dec. 28.-Officials
here, although without official ad
vices, were keenly Interested tonight
In a Rome dispatch saying the Italian
I cruiser Calabria at Beirut, Syria, hd
been instructed to help the American
cruiser North Carolina piOtsct refu
gees on the lyrian coast. Secretary
Daniels cabled the disnatch to Cap
tain Oman, of the North Carolina, at
Beirut and to Captain Decker, of the
cruiser Tennessee, which left Jaffa
yesterday, taking refugees to Alexan
dria.
Mr. Daniels also repeated his re
quest for information from the cruis
er commanders concerning s recent
Athens dispatch announcing that the
North Carolina had threatened to fire
on the port of Tripoli, Syria, when
the Turkish authorities sought to pre
vent the departure of British and
French consuls along with their na
tionals on an American steamer. Re
petition of thia request was ordered
because it was feared the first mes
sages had failed to reach the cruisers.
A report from Captain Decker, of
the Tennessee, earlier In the day told
of the departure of 600 refugees on
his vessel from Jaffa, but did not men
tion other incidents involving the
American ships on the Syrian coast.
Government officials, who are skep
tical shoot reports that the North
Carolina threatened to fire on Tripoli,
expressed the opinion tonight that the
United States, ss a neutral nation,
could best maintain Its friendly rela
tions with Turkey if it dealt with tho
situation there without assistance. It
was suggested, therefore, that the
Italian proffer of cooperation might
bo rejected If made officially to tho!
United States.

years of preparation and 40 years of
fruitful labor, but many leaders in
thought are found giving out in the
fifties, nearly all ot Gie remainder in
Gie sixties, with oply a few enjoying
active work In the seventies.
"Of the Importance of rest, recrea
tion and exercise la the prolongation
of efficiency, too much can not be said
but there ls a large group whose effi
ciency and longevity - - depends upon
diet. It may .happen at any time to
any bralnworker, (hat he may develop
an idlosyncracy against some partic
ular food which may start a process
of degeneration m hts celts Gist even
tually leads to his loss of efficiency
and tinnily, to loss .of life.
