You cannot fight, the mall order houses by arousing the customer's ire. If one of your good customers comes to you with the statement that ho just bought a certain article from Chicago ,because he considered he was saving fynoney by so doing, dln't whine about li 1 you've done for him and then to have him treat you like that. That is the best way pissiblc to lose a good customer and make him a'determined advocate of mail-order buying. Show that you could have given him just as good a deal, if not better. 'Arouse his loyalty. Don't plead for yoursolf, but for the town ns a whole. Down In Charleston, S. C, the mer chants havo banded together on an educational campaign to arouse Inter est and loyalty in home buying. They state why ono should buy. at home from tho residents viewpoint. Their whole argument Is summed up in this set Of "Bccauses," which each mer chant prints in his advertising and distributes on circulars and otherwise: I Buy At Home. Because my interests are here. Because the community that Is good enough for me to live In is good enough for me to buy in. Because 1 bellevo In transacting business with my friends. Because I want to see the goods. Because I want to get what I buy when I pay for yc. , , Because my home dealer "carries" me when 1 run short. Because every dollar I spend at uome stays at home and works for the welfare of Charleston. Because the man I buy from stands back of the goods. ,,Because I sell what I produce here at homo. Becauso the men I buy from pays his part of tho town, county and state taxes. Because the man I buy from gives value received always. Becauso the man I buy from helps support my school, my church, my lodge, my home. , Because when ill luck, misfortune ?or bereavement comes, the man 1 buy from is hero with the kindly greeting, his words of cheer and his pocket book, if needs be. Hero I live and here I buy.--Ex. , Buy it now. Now Is the time to buy U bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy. It Is al most certain to bo needed beforo the summer is over. This remedy has no isuperlor. For sale by all dealers. TRIP TO LITTLE KOCK. The very interesting account below of the trip which Mr. W. B. Compton, one of the old veterans of this coun ty, took to Little Rock during the old soldiers reunion, was taken from the Greenwood Journal some time ago, but having In some manner got misplaced on the reserve hook was lost sight of. Mr. Compton is such a well known citizen of this county that It is only right that the people of Laurens as well ng Greenwood Coun ty should read the account of his trip. The following; is the article as It appeared: On May 14th. 12:20 p. m.. I board ed the train at Greenwood and ar rived at Little Rock on the 15th, 0:30 p. m., thence to the State House around which throngs of onlookers witnessed the registering of the Vets. The city was crowded from center to circumference with soldiers and visitors. There were a great many women, old and young, from every confederate State, who made It very inconvenient for the old solidere get ting around the city by crowding them out of the street cars and other public conveyances. I am obliged to acknowledge that it does - not meet my approval for ladies who are not deeply interested In the movement of the old soldiers reunion to be pres ent. I was told that in four days the cars bandied seven hundred and lfty thousand people. Little Rock did everyt mg she could to entertain and make us com fortable, and while there I saw on ly two who wore Intoxicated and they were not from South Carolina. After staying two days and nights, I boarded the Iron Mountain R. R. train for Hope and Ashvllle, Ark., two hundred and fifty miles further west to visit relatives. I saw many things there to interest me in regard to varied industries and agriculture. I visited portions of Hemstead, Pike and Howard Cornties and found many thousand acres of wheat the people call "cut-over-land" that is land with all the large timber taken o>" leaving only young growth of oak, hickory, pine, etc. One of the chief industries in this part of Ar kansas is lumbering. The lumber mills handle timber so easily, fast and variedly that I shall not attempt a description. I consider the land montilned above to be very produc tive and that eighty five per cent of all the land I saw in the three coun ties to be in forest. The good and reliable citizens say that tb" lands have enhanced in value one hundred per cent in ten years. You can find the red, sandy, gravel or black waxy soil, and kind that might appeal to the agriculturist for different products. I visited also Laoline mines, and as far as I know, the only diamond mine in the Unicd States. This is called "Kimberly" having gotten this name from the great Kimberly dia mond mine in Africa. Kimberly is situated in the hills of Pike county. The soil and different formations of Peridolite rock were interesting to study. I was allowed to enter with a pass and my escort who was one of the guards permitted me to pick up a few different colored stones ns sou venirs. The town of Kimberly has but a few hotels and stores and only one bank, yet it is interesting to an old soldier like myself who had never seen anything so new, to visit this place. The next place of Interest was the Brlnkley peach orchard of three thousand acres also in Pike county. They have a tower In the center of tho orchard for observation which overlooks the largest peach orchard (except one) In the State. The largest being near Dequcen in Sevlor coun ty, which has four thousand acres, all well loaded with line peaches. Railroads extend in different direc tions to accomodate the peach pick ers. They had advertised for two thousand pickers before I left. They are still clearing land for planting peach trees, "Elbcrto." being the fa vorite variety. I noticed In passing around that hundreds of acres are being cleared, (or at least they call It clearing, for they cut out all the saplings not larg er than a man's arm and deaden the larger timber which Is a great slaugh ter and waste of virgin forest beyond the Mississippi river). Never saw a tree cut with a one blnded ax. The larger timber Is sawed with Simon saws and the smaller tree Is cut with two blnded axes. The crops of corn and cotton wero very fine when I left for home on the 10th of June but tho smaller grain crop was a complete failure due to rust. W. B. Compton.
