A wants to sell some thing. B wants to buy it. X is the advertise ment that brings them together. X costs money. It's the bring together price. A makes more money by selling to many B's and can therefore pay for X. A benefits. B benefits. That's advertising in a nutshell. It has been tried out in every conceivable way, and it works. It works especially well in this home news paper, as many of our merchants and all of our readers know. Someone accused a well-known char acter in Pickens of being intoxiea ted on the occasion of the recent town election. and when he heard of it he said: "Drunk ! Me drunk? Why, shucks! I didn't drink any likker at all, only two little iuart vials fulls for a little newralgy I had!" There are a thousand and one ways a man can make a fool of himself, and a Boston preacher has found one of them. le thought he had a mission and, after visiting the municipal lodging-house in that city, saw a thousand men sleeping on the floors. le suggested in his next iermon that soie fine morning these thousand men east their filthy clothing tway and march up the street arrayed n all their nakedness, saying that then !apital might take pity and start the wheels of industry going. Start noth ing; before an hour passed there would not he enough patrol wagons in the Hub to go round. Speaking of advertising and the dis position of some merchants to cut itout to save what they consi(er an unneces sary expense, the Yorkville 0niquirer very sensibly sa1s: "If this deression is going to be permanent, then there is no use for anybody to advertise; but if it is to be only temporary, and that is what most of us h~o1e and believe, then the best thing for the business man who expects to participate in the better time a-coming is to keep himself prominently andI continuously before the public. D)therwvise, when the revival comes, lie nay wake up to find that others have stepped in andI taken his place, and he has been lost in the shufile."'

Swearingen to R ent of Education of Pi Superintendent R. T. Hallum, Pickens, S. C. Dear Hallum:-At the outset I wish to congratulate you upon the work you are doing in the public schools of Pickens coun. ty. It was my good fortune to spend March 18, 19 and 20 in visiting your schools and meet ing your trustees and teachers. Since some of these localities had been visited by me less than a year ago, I was in position to measure the development of the last twelve months. The Martin district illustrates the value of a strong rural school in your territory. The interest and enthusiasm of these people brought them a modern and model school building. T h i s bouse was built and equipped to .ccomodate 100 pupils. T h e first session after its erection brought an enrollment of 141 pupils. The appreciation of the patrons, the interest of the chil Iren and the earnestness of the eachers explain the growth. The leadership of the County "uperintendent in selecting this "oniniunity for such a public school demonstration was ad mirable. Your judgement has been more than vindicated by yollrcpniplete success. My only regret is that neither the County iu perintendent, the State Super ntendent nor the trustees an icipated this 50 per cent increase n enrollment during the first rear. It was fortunate for the school hat the trustees retained the >ld one-room b u i ( i n g. The )roblen now is the securing of enough money to emplov three eachers for the session 1915-1H. 'he people of Martin district hould raise their local tax to ight mills by adding four mills o their local levy. If this tax s secured in May, the State De partment of Education will be glad to co-operate in securing, three teachers for a session of seven months next year. The outlying districts around the Martin school are not giving their children a fair chance. Wolfe's Creek, P rat er and Twelve Mile all need new school houses. Each of these three!
