Two or three months ago The Adver tiser declared that the result of the whiskey election in Newberry would have especial significance because it was the home of the Hon. Cole L. Blease and the Hon. H. H. Evans. Mr. Blease is by far the most loyal champion of the Dis pensary in South Carolina or in the United States. Even the father of the Dispensary is sometimes despondent about it, but the dispensary faith and courage of Mr. Blease has never been known to wane. Mr. Evans is the head of the Dispen sary business in the State, and both he and Mr. Blease are exceedingly popu lar citizens of Newberry. Their per sonal influence would of course amount to a great deal in any Newberry elec tion, especially that of Mr. Blease, who ia the Senator from the county, he hav ing been elected to that office by a large majority last year. Nevertheless, the people of New berry voted the dispensaries out of ex istence by more than two to one. Less than one-third of the total vote of the county was polled, and this would seem to indicate that the people were not es pecially interested in the matter. On the other hand, it is still more signifi cant that Mr. Blease, Mr. Evans and other dispensary advocates were unable to muster to the polls as many as 400 voters in defense of their institution. Moreover, the election is a direct de feat for Senator Tillman, who it will be remembered, began his campaign this year in defense of the dispensary by writing an able letter and pathetic ajv peat to Supervisor Higginsof Newberry county. It appears that the Newberry voters, regardless of Messrs. Blease, Tillman and Evans were determined to drive out the groer shops. These three are the principal Dispensary defenders. The Hon. A. C. Jones has put them to rout in Newberry. ? A TRUE PROHIBITION TOWN. The Benncttsville Advocate is having much to say about Marlboro being a Prohibition county in connection with the possible removal of the Clinton Col lege. The Advocate is respectfully in formed that for half a century the town of Clinton has been strictly addicted to Prohibition. We risk the assertion that in no town of its size anywhere in this country has less whiskey been sold than in Clinton, South Carolina, and the people of no town on earth to-day are more zealously and actively united against the whiskey traffic. While there is a dispensary in Lau rens, the Bennettsville Advocate is re minded that the town of Laurens is just about as far from Clinton as the town of Cheraw, where a . dispensary flourishes, is from the town of Ben nettsville. Thus Bennettsville has no advantage whatever in this regard over Clinton and the truth is that Prohibi tion is Clinton's long suit. Prohibition in Clinton prohibits the sale, taking, touching, handling and thinking about it. There are no such words as "whiskey," "blind tiger," "wee nippy," "dram," "toddy," "snifter," "mint-julep," "sherry cob bler," "eggnog," "eyeopener," "night cap," "booze," "cock-tail," "jambo ree," "jag," "razee," "skate," "high ball," "low-ball," "gin ricksey," etc., in the Clinton language. ? PULL FOR THE COLLEGE. The esteemed Clinton Chronicle takes to heart too much the protest signed by some 60 leading citizens of Clinton re pudiating its course with regard to the Presbyterian College matter. The signers of the paper declare that, they do not endorse the Chronicle's reflec tion upon the action of the Trustees of the College. The Chronicle proceeds to print an editorial "weep" of four or five columns divided into two parts, one of which is a personal wail signed by the editor de claring that the paper tends to destroy the usefulness of the Chronicle, and that it has flung him into disgrace. Never was a more lugubrious book of lamentations printed in a single issue of rt newspaper. The Chronicle should dry its eyes and come again. We think that it was too violent in its criticisms of the College Trustees, and it never pays to be rantankcrous about anything. We have no idea that the 60 signers of the paper intended to cast the Chroni cle into outer darkness, and it is mak ing a spectacle of itself by attaching so much importance to the incident. "Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep and you weep alone." Meanwhile, the people of Clinton should "get together" and subscribe and pay a lot of money for the Prcsby erian College if they wish to retain it. Three men in Bennettsville have sub scribed $5,000 each on condition that the college be moved to that town. There are men in Clinton fully as able to subscribe $5,000 as any one of these. We suspect that Clinton, which is an exceedingly prosperous town, has a man or two who could subscribe three or four times as much as any Bennetts ville man. ? Three years ago $46,000 was sub scribed in Laurens to bring a college here. While Laurens has a larger popu lation, Clinton could with less sacrifice subscribe a much larger sum, because Clinton has richer men, perhaps, than this town. In all movements of this kind the bulk of the money must be paid by the very rich men. The motive to retain a college already established in a town should be very much stronger than the motive to bring a college into a town. The Clinton Chronicle and the people of Clinton connot afford to woep or scrap. Everything in a town should pull together for the retention and the expansion of the institution which is an honor to Clinton, and for which Clinton has done a great deal. Notice to School Patrons.

Parents are urged to seo that all school children from their homes are enrolled the Ant day.' Respectfully, Nathaniel M. Sallby, Supt. City Schools. Honor Paid a Noble Sire. Fairview, in Laurons County, the grand antebellum homo of Col. James Washington Watts, was the scene of a delightful pleasure on the thirtieth of August, when his family gathered around him to celebrate his eighty-sixth birthday. It was hard to realize so many winters had passed over his head, when you saw the grand man (as he is) coming with his cordial hospitality to welcome his guests. Col. Watts so long identified with the best interest of this State and Georgia, his home, two years just preceding the war of the sixties, where he was an ideal master and planter has ever been at the head of the agricultural interest, where he has lived. Early the vehicles began rolling in with their freight of loving relatives, until forty-seven noses were counted. Georgia and Alabama contributed guests to the occasion. Thirty-one direct de scendants to the third and fourth gen erations, eight widows and eight near of kin made the dear old home ring with merry clatter and laughter. It was a wonderful gathering of all ages and all so happy that even the babies forgot to cry all day. And the grand center was rendered the homage of a King?for he has ruled his house well. Seated in the center of the spacious hall, with his sister, Mrs. Jas. Young, of Cartersville, Georgia, herself sev enty eight, both in the full possession of every faculty, each beyond the use of glasses, having their second sight, illustrating the multitude of years well spent is crowned by beautiful and use ful old age. The dainty tie, worn by Mrs. Young, the work of her own hands, .would take the premium for skillful hand-run tucks and beautiful hemstitching. The daughters began to disappear in the middle of the day and soon rlinner was announced, and what a spread it was! The back yard with its canopy of oaks, that might be a century old, fur nished the dining room. The seniors were seated at a table that groaned with the fat of the land, the younger members of the family looking after their comfort (for this wa3 a picnic dinner) each bringing their love offer ing?none could be spared long enough for hot dinner. Pleasant concourse and merry laughter made the time speed rapidly. All were loath to break the happy spell which seemed upon them. No servants were in evidence, but the old family darky, who still survives and is a tenant on the place was not for gotten. A sumptuous dinner was sent "Uncle Hamp." In this up-country the old servant still loves to have "Old Marster's" children and children's chil dren call them Uncle and Auntie and the children are still taught to respect them. All too soon the sun's long shadows reminded them they were miles from home and soon the hustle of departure began. What a string of equipages there were and good byes were said and all left with a prayer in their hearts that yet many years the center of this happy day's pleasure might be spared them. This beautiful tribute is paid Col. Watts annually. How proud he was of these splendid specimens of man hood and womanhood.There was a note of sadness when he ref**ri e? to the twenty of his descendants who were absent, but would loveJ to have been there. ? Col. Watts hus living fifty-two direct descendants, which with the eleven in laws, makes a family of sixty-three. Clinton, S. C, Sept. 2nd, '05. Strikes Hidden Rocks.

The Lanford family is one of the oldest and most p.ominent as well as one of the largest in this and Spartanburg counties. At Wednesday's reunion appropriate and highly entertaining addresses were made by Congressman J. T. Johnson and Col. J. H. Wharton, chairman of the State Railroad Commission. Within the next year a handsome monument or memorial tablet will pro bably be placed at Antioch and at the next reunion the programme of the oc casion will include unveiling ceremo nies. incredible Brutality. It would have been incredible brutal ity if Chas. F. Lemberger, of Syracuse, N. Y., had not done the best he could for his suffering son.

Dunk Boyd and will move to Greenville county some time this fall or winter, having bought the splendid home and plantation of the late James Lewis McCullough, located on the Greenville road, two miles above Princeton. The price is under stood to be $6,000. Mr. Boyd has sold his place to Mr. James Elledge and will remove to his new home during the winter. QUALITIES OF SAGE. Bm-rnrr mn* Salvtarr All the Yen? Hound nnd J.lked 9?r All. Nearly all our vegetables and herbe appear originally to have passed through some preliminary stago In the laboratory of the medical herbalist be fore being admitted to tbo full honors of the kitchen. Tbo fact Is not so strange as it might at first sight ap pear, and Its results have certainly been to the general advantage of man kind* for, though for tbo iqgst part (he old herbalist's prescriptions' wore of a kind neither to kill nor cure, his Inves tigations of the specific qualltlos of plants were often useful. Tbo auclonts seem to have regarded sago as an herb of first importance to the physlelau, and the many traditions concerning It refer nlmgst entirely to this nspect of the plant. "Why should a man die who has sage in his garden?" was one of the maxims of tho famous school of health nt Salerno. Tho belief in its vir tues survived through tho middle ages and was handed down with unlinpalrod vitality to quite modern times. The wrltors of the sixteenth and seven teenth centuries were full of Us praises, nnd there was hardly an ailment of mind or body for which sage was not pronounced a cure or an alleviation. Thence sprung the idea that as It wan thus generally wholesome nnd recom mended by tho faculty tho housewife might prudently admit a dried winter supply to her storeroom. And so this "sovereign herb" gradually found Its way Into the kitchen, of which it has ever slnco remained an ludlspensnble adjunct; not that It at once lost all Its medical attributes. "Ho that would live 1 for aye must eat sage In May" runs the ' proverb. But the cooks soon began to take broader views. They pronounced sage to be equally savory nnd salu tary nil the year around and of special and peculiar value nt the season of Mi chaelmas. But this Is advancing matters. Bvon tho best of things eatable have had to overcome prejudice and slowly innko their way, nnd In the case of mere con comitants some he'p from the encour aging band of fashion has generally been necessary. The rather nauseous brew knoww as sago tea was so com mon n domestic medicine to our fore fathers that they could not at once ac cept tho herb in the character of a savory adjunct. But we live and learn, and the. merit" of rage as a modifier of certain rich viands begun to be ac knowledged. It seemed to have a kind of natural afllnlty with roast pork, goose and duck and presently became the constant attendant of these dishes. Early In the eighteenth contnry an ac knowledged authority laid it down that "as to geese and ducks, cooks should stuff them with some sage shred fine and a little pepper and salt and tho same with a suckling pig."?London Globe.

Talks On Advertising How Shall We Know Good Copy? {~|OOD Copy can be known only the ^* Goods it is actually known to Sell, ? Mr. Advertiser 1 Don't care how "Bright," how "Catchy," nor how "Attractive" the copy is, or is not. What we want to know is how much Goods will it Sell, per dollar of cost, through Retailers, or by Mail? Selling-Power is the only quality we recognize as Good, in Advertising. No moro "Keeping the Name before the People" will satisfy our standards. No mere "Trade Stimulus" nor "Gen eral Influence on Sales" will we recog nize as real Advertising worth what it costs. No evasion of the Grand Issue?Sales manship? is permitted nor attempted in the Lord & Thomas Advertising Agency. The Ad-smith whose copy won't ac tually and positively Sell Goods enough to pay for the Space it fills, with a handsome profit on it to the Man who pays the Bills, is working for some other Agency. But "how can wo know copy which will positively sell goods before it is published at the Advertiser's ex pense?"?you ask. ? ? a Well, this is how we know it, Mr. Advertiser! About one-fourth of the Advertising wo place annually is Mail Order Adver tising, for about 86 different clients. Every single insertion of each Mail Order Advertisement haa been keyed separately, in each publication. We thus know precisely how much each In quiry for goods Costs, from each differ ent piece of Copy, in each Medium. This information we record accurately in our our "Record of Results." Then, we compare the Cost of Selling each line of Mail Order goods through the different kinds of copy used, and we find a wonderful consistency in the figures. A kind of Copy which produces In quiries at low Cost for one proposition, we find produces Inquiries for another entirely different proposition in the same ratio of low cost. And the kind of Copy which Costs three times as much per Inquiry, in the same publication, for one proposition will, we find, cost practically in the same high ratio on all other propositions. The compilation of this data, cover ing a period of years, on a large variety of Mail Order accounts, has given us a reliable means of knowing just what kind of copy Sells the most goods for a given investment in space. It also affords us a reliable index to the relative Earning-Power of different publications, using the same kind of Copy, at the same period of the year. But, Lord & Thomas investigation through this "Record of Results" has gone farther than testing out Mail Or der Copy. Because, when the qualities, in Copy, that produced consistently large Results in Mail Order Advertising had been located and isolated, these same quali ties were then applied to Copy for Gen eral Advertising of Goods to be sold through Retailers. Our "Record of Results" thus shows that the something which made a given kind of Copy sell goods at lowest cost by mail also made it sell goods at lowest cost through Retailers. These qualities were "Reason-Why and Conviction" saturated into the Copy, and presented in certain thought forms that strike the most responsive chord with average Readers of Adver tisements. The combination of these qualities, evolved through our "Record of Re sults," is a formula as exclusive with Lord & Thomas as the formula of the famous Liquor Chartreuse is with the Monks who control its secret. This kind of Copy we call "Lord & Thomas' Salesmanship-on-paper." The relative Selling-Power of each piece of this copy we can judge in ad vance, by comparing it with Results obtained previously through kindred kind of Copy, used for equivalent Prop ositions, as registered and compared in our "Record of Results." What this "Record of Results" means to your Advertising can be only vaguely suggested in this article. But the subject is fully and clearly covered in our "Book of Advertising Tests" which will be published June 20th. Its price is $5.00 per copy to all but General Advertisers and Mail Orders Advertisers. Any of those two latter classes may have one copy, free of charge, if a request for it reaches us promptly be fore the limited edition is fully pledged.
