The development of the modern newspaper baa bad no more re markable effect than the change it has produced in the prevailing ideas with regard to advertising. Twenty years ago the tradesman who made known what wares be hi d to aell, except in tbe modest and general way, was looked upon with some degree of suspicion, aud tbe profeasiousl man who offered his services by public advertine- meut- was condemned outright as necessarily a quack. Tbe obauge from tbat day to tbis has been aU moat complete, aud yet it has come about very gradually, and there are some traces of the old tradi tions still remaining. Long alter the dealers in many kinds ot merchandise bad learned tbe value of advertising aud had profited by it, there were almost as many more still governed by tbe ancient prejudice who preferred to perish iu respectable seeiosion rath er than invite the public to come to them. Tbis was the case not only with lawyers aud doctors, but with jewelers, tailors, dressmakers and many other trades that for some reaeon were supposed to flonr- isb only in tbs dark. Tbe fashion able tailors long dang to the ides that advertising was not respecta ble, and there are a few old-timers yet who cannot bring themselves to anything more uodignifixl than private invitations to their custo mers, and look on aghast while yonnger rivals fill tbe oolnmns of tbo newspapers with attractive de scriptions of their goods and gath er in tbe custom that used to go to them. The thing to be particularly no ticed is how completely newspaper advertising has been separated from its association with an inferior class of trade. Tbe great advert tiaers now are tbe leading boures, not alone in tbe extent of their bn siness, bat in its recognized charac ter. The finest goods of every sort, the most fashionable clothing tor men and women, tbe most costly furnitare, carpets and ornaments, whatever a purchaser can possibly want tbat is rich and fine as well as what is usefai and cheap, he ex pects to find described for him iu the daily psfier. And the result of this is benefi cial both for the dealers sod lor the public. Tbe largest aud bast advertisers aie everywhere those that do the largest mid best trade, while tbe facilities for shopping have wonderfully increased aud tbe people buy more and better goods than they ever did before. They are better drested, their homes aiu better furnished, they enjoy more ot tbe comforts ami luxuries of life than any previous period, and one main cause of ibis isiu tbe general quickening of trade that natural^ results irom intelligent advertis ing.

Cotton Plant. Cleveland For 1892. Montgomery, Ala., May 29.— Senator John T. Morgan is iu Mont gomery, aud to-day said: “1 am not at all surprised bot highly gratified that Mr. Cleveland has again expressed bis well-known views oo the question of tbe tariff and other matters of government policy so successfully inaugurated aud pursued uuder bis administra tion. I look upon Mr. Cleveland as one ot tbe best informed and most couscieutions men in the United States. Hit administration of tbe government was one of in tegrity sod grant ability, nod wifi compare favorably with tbat of any other which tbs country has sv er had. The government and the people are certainly very much better lor having bad tbe benefit aud experience of his upright, hon est, straightforward, splendid ad ministration of public affairs for four years. His honesty and up rightness were universally acknowl edged, and the people folly ap preciate the value of his great ser vices.” “Do you think Mr. Cleveland is s candidate for President or that be will be the nominee iu 1892 f” “Mr. Cleveland is not a candidate for tbe Presidency. Personally he cares very little about it. But when the time come* to select s candidate tor the Presidency to lead tbe Democratic party to vic tory, nuleaa there is some great revelation of sentiment and change in the popular mind, the people will rise np iu their might and name Mr. Cleveland. From tbe present outlook Mr. Cleveland’s will be tbe only name mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for the Presidency iu 1892.” The News and Courier’s Apology- A dispatch from Dailiugtoo in regard to the survey of tbat couuty was published in th*Newt and Con ner on Wednesday. Tbe headline to tbs dispatch, “Darliugton Coun ty has itself surveyed twenty-fonr miles short of the ooustitntiousl limit,” has been misinterpreted. It is sosoeptible of two construct ions, lut the mesuing which has been placed upon it by Mr. J, J. Ward, a member ot tbe Darlington Bar, is not tbe meaning that was intended to be conveyed. Tbe Newt and Courier did not and does not ques tion the gojd faith with which the survey had been made, nor wonid it insinnate even tbat the survey itself was incorrect. The high char acter of Major Earle, who made the survey, is a sofficient anawer to any charge of unfairness in his work, and we have oo donbt tbat be can establish its accuracy. In his let ter to the Newt and Courier, Mr. Ward says: “It is presumed that wo have soma rights. Tbe Act cresting Flore nee County cootems plated a survey. The survey of that county was entirely ex parte. Lines were ran without any co operation of Darlington County au thorities, or invitation to do so.”— Newt and Courier. The Baptist Brethren- The report of tbe home mission board ot tbe Sontberu Baptist Con vention presented at Memphis last week brought the following tacts to light: Tbat theie are three hundred and tweuty.eigbt missions iu tbe employ of this board laboring in Cuba, tbe Indian Territory and tbe destitute portions of the Southern Siatvs. No int.'giouarv of this beard is at work in South Carolina. The work in this Sta:e is done by tbe State mission board. The missionaries of tbe home board have baptised duriug tbe )er 4,837 persons The work in Cuba bus been wonderful, 300 bap tisms during tbe year. The churches iu tbis Convention have i an>ed for home missions dur iug the year $09,398.83, aud of this amount South Carolina gave $4,- 365.77. Tbe report of the foreign mission board shows thst tbe board is out of debt with • balance iu the treas ury. Since tbe last Convention 999,023.75 have been collected for foreign missions. Oi tbis amoont Sooth Carolina raised 19,435.22. Tbia board has in the field 132 workers as follows: Brazil 15, Chi us 70, Italy 16, Mexico 22. An Effectual Remedy tor Caterpillars. While I am on the subject of ask ing for Information, I will also give a little which may be beneficial to some fruit growers, if they have not already got It. 1 bad some fine sp ile trees in which caterpillars built pi large nests and were eating tbe leaves of the tieee very rapidly. I tried banting the neets, bat that was bad for the young twigs. So, for so experiment, Mrs. Alfred Tate (who is the wife of one of m, ' ants) told me to try kerosene oi>, and see if it would kill them, on the strength of which armed with a bottle of kerosene, I climbed a tree, aud opening a little hols in tbe top of the neat, dropped some oil in opoo the caterpillars. It worked Ilka magic. They began arawliog at soon as touched by tbs oil, and thas oiled sack otker, and hi two minutes a whole nest foil was dead. Itbns killed hundreds before I flopped.
