LAURENS, S. C, Feb. 7, 1906.
PATENT MEDICINE ADVERTISING.
The following is from the Florence
Times:
"The editor of the Times received a
telegram last night from one of the
big manufactures of proprietary medi
cines, requesting him to wire his repre
sentatives in the legislature to defeat
house bill number 700 which if passed
would be ruinous to druggists ana pro
prietary medicines and compel that lirm
to withdraw all of its advertising from
this state. Verily we are up against a
proposition. If the newspapers of this
state should lose the advertising of the
patent medicine men they would be in
a bad fix, they get mighty little sup
port from the home merchants and
they would very probably get no more
if they sacrificed what they got for
what they considered the best interests
of the people, namely, the passage of
this bill. We have never seen the bill
and do not know what it is, it may be
bad or it may be good, but we want
to put the public on notice that the
newspapers nave had the big stick
waved over their heads and we want
also to call attention of the merchants
to the fact that a man with pink and
blue pills, whose only virtue seems to
be in their color, can sell them and
make money through an advertisement
in a newspaper while the men from
whom the paper ought to* expect sup
port trusts to one customer telling an
other what he is offering for sale or
tries the sandwich man, the circular or
the hand bill."
Thk advertiser is one newspaper
that is "up against" no such proposi
tion. On the contrary Thk advertiser
finds it good business policy to tell the
proprietary medicine people that they
can get into its columns only by asking
for no special privileges and Thk ad
vertiser has the cordial support of
the business men of Laurens. Our ad
vertising rates, it is true, are low but
our merchants take that into considera
tion and use a great deal of space. We
are assured that they find the expendi
ture profitable. We can "point with
pride" to the firms that have used Tun
Advertiser's columns steadily for the
past 10. 12 and 15 years and they are
firms ranking in every way with the
best in South Carolina. Some of them
were small affairs when they com
menced business but they put money in
The advertiser and we believe that
Thk Advertiser put money in them.
They have grown and so has The Ad
vertiskr? the latter from a small
"patent outside" newspaper of invaria
bly four pages to an all home-print
newspaper which prints from four to
sixteen pages. The business men of
Laurens have backed Thk advertiser
and Thk Advertiser has had its share
in the building up of Laurens.
The Advertiser has at times re
fused to accept advertising at prices
many times greater than its regular
rates because it would not lend its cir
culation to promoting a transit and il
legitimate competition with the firms
that are here all the time and steadily
contribute to the newspaper's support.
We have no time to fritter away with
these proprietary medicine people.?
Long experience has taught us that
they as a rule are not disposed to deal
liberally or even fairly with us. We
are not in sympathy with the pending
legislation in the General Assembly
that threatens them; we object to an
advertising censorship; but "it is none
of our funeral." We suspect that nine
in ten of the weekly newspapers in
South Carolina feel about it as we feel.
#
SOME FACTS ABOUT CAPERS.
The Greenwood Journal says:
"John Capers was a Democrat, and
he went into the Ropubliban fold solely
for the purpose of getting office. When
he made this step he lost the respect of
former friends and failed to gain the
confidence of his new political asso
ciates. Roth classes despised him, and
worse than all, under his breast he car
ries an accusing conscience, which must
have lashed him until it became seared
as with a hot iron."
Thk Advertiser is not the champion
of ('apt. Capers but if it must be
"rubbed into" him now that he is down,
, the ncv. . ;>:.;,t ti.it nib should at least
<^.sti<*k to the facts. Mr. Capers was ap
pointed to a position in the Department
of Justice in Washington by President
Cleveland.On account of the silver ques
tion, whlie holding this office, he be
came a Republican in 1896. That is
what ho said. He continued to hold
. the same office in Washington until
1901, until after Mr. MeKinley's sec
tion election, when Mr. McKinley ap
pointed him district attorney.
From our point of view Capt. Cap
ers's participation in Republican poli
tics is indefensible, South Carolina Re
publicanism not being indefensible but
it is not true that he someaaulted out
of the Democratic party to get a job.
He had a job from Mr. Cleveland and
held it for five or six years under Cleve
land and McKinley before coming back
to South Carolina. So far as apybody can
say his change of politics in 1896
did not at that time affect his position
one way or another at that time.?
It is entirely possible that Mr. McKin
ley would have retained him in his de
partmental place even had he remained
a Democrat.
Capt. Capers was no more at fault in
accepting the office of District A ttor
ney than was Ernest P. Cochran. In
becoming a Republican boss in South
Carolina he was grievourdy at fault and
"Mr. Cochran will ruin his standing in
the State if he becomes a boss.
Meanwhile it is premature to be hold
ing up Capers as a horrible example.
We shall be surprised if Roosevelt does
not take tender care of him. Of course
the man who is permitted to continue
as referee will not be barred from the
clover patch forever.
We may add that we have no doubt
that Mr. Capers's unfortunate behavior
as a Republican boss has been chiefly
due to the want of common sense by
hiB boss. In other words, Theodore
Roosevelt does not know his own mind
and does not hold the same course two
days. We have no idea that John G.
Capers or any other mortal man could
please Teddy and walk a straight lino
at the same time. The President has a
buzzing head.
The Greenville News says: "It is
Baid that the entire issue of The Blacks
burg Chronicle for this week disappear
ed Friday. It was published as usual
in Gaffney, and started to Blacksburg
by express. But it did not stop in
Blacksburg. The tag indicating its
destination was old, and bore the ad
dress of a firm in Linesdale, Rhode Is
land. The express messenger there
fore sent the entire edition to Rhode
Island. The Chronicle's subscribers are
in a state of suspense pending the res
cue of the errant, newspaper." This
was a good thing for Rhode Island, and
the pity is that our esteemed contem
porary's issue was brought back. No
people on earth, need enlightment so
much as the Rho^le Islanders, and we
wish that they could have the opportu
nity of reading our valuable contempo
rary.

the good it would accomplish he would

A MEMORABLE THAGEDY.
It Oreir Oat of the Laal Great SIato
Auction In Tlila Country.
TIio last groat elttVO auctlun held In
tills country occurred Just a year aud
a half before the war -in October, 1830
?ut the race track in Savannah. The
slaves were the property of Fierce
Butler, a picturesque antl prominent
figure at that day in PhlJadelpulu so
elety, who Is today only remembered
as having been the husband of Fanny
Kemble, tbo actress, reader aud au
thor. Ills family name was Mease, but
be Inherited a fortune In lands and
slaves from his grandfather, Major
PlorCO Butler of South Carolina, on
condition that ho should take the hit
ter's name.
Butter's inveterate passion fur gam
bling got him into financial difficulties.
It Is said that he lost $20,000 on a sin
gle hand- four deuces against four
kings held by his opponent.
Finally, to meet tils losses, Butler
was forced to sell his sla\es. There
were 088 of them in all. The salo took
two days ami netted $803,851$. Butler
had chosdll a good time to sell. A year
later his n? gt'OOS W?llId not have been
worth a dollar a head. But the sale
would have been more profitable had
It not been announced as one of the
conditions that no division of families
would be permitted; hence in order to
secure a good slave buyers often had
to take witli them Infirm or aged rela
tives. Out of this limitation grew a
memorable tragedy. Tom Fate, a well
known Vleksburg trailer, bought at the
sale a man, his two sisters and his
wife, willi the guarantee that they
should not lie separated. Disregarding
this, Fate sold the sisters, one to Pat
Somers, a brother trader, ami the oth
er to a resident of St. Louis. What
legal rights a negro had In the south
were well protected. Somers was told
of the guarantee, and he sent the girl
back to Pato aud demanded bis money.
A quarrel was the result, and Somers
was shot dead. Ten days later his
nephew killed Pate? and died from
wounds received. The feud was kept
up until every male bearing the name
of Fate was wiped out. and then the
war liberated the sisters.?New York

I Notice to Planters
At this season of the year all eyes are turned
to sowing, for therein lies the success or fail
ure of every Planter. Poor seed will never
make a good crop, hence we have expended
every effort to secure the best that money
can buy, and have on hand seed that we are
justly proud of and can reconmmond, such as
+
Wheat, Rye, Barley, Rape, Lucerne, Vetches &
Red Rust Proof Oats, and Red and Crimson jl
Clover, and also a great variety Garden Seeds ;
If you want seed that will yield results and
increase your Bank account, try these.

durability. So the economical man can safely
figure it is wise economy to use Mastio paint.
