The price of cotton is running
down distressingly low; middl

Up to Nov. 1, there had been
8,720 bales shipped from this

the same period of last year.

a big time was had generally.

Democratic ticket.
Du. Wallace, the popular
physician of the Lydia section,

Timmonsville, October 30.—
A Republican meeting was at

the general interest of Repibli-

principally negroes, but also
somewhat diversified with Till
man and Haskell Anglo-Saxons.
Edmund H. Deas, candidate
for Congress in this district,
was present among the proposed
speakers on the stand, but be
fore Purvis had proceeded far in
the speech, he began to be re
peatedly interrupted by one Pete
Humphrey, a violent Tillmanite,
w'ho finally accused Purvis of
lying.

This is a very important question to
business men, and one that only busi

the city papers from day to day for
years, ho will ilnd the eWumns filled
witli the announcements of leading
business houses. They do not come be
fore the public at long intervals, but
regularly, daily, changing their ad
vertisements with the variation in their
stocks, qualities and prices of goods,
thus u«t only attracting attention to
what they have to sell, but arousing
the desire of 1 uyers to examine what
is offered, the* making customers and

clear statement of what they have got

On the other hand, thousands of
men who huso started in business with

As to Value Received.
The idea used to bo prevalent among
a certain class of business men that
spending money for advertising
amounted, in effect, to throwing it
away. There is little question that
there is more or less ground for this
belief in isolated eases, where the ad
vertiser does not take the proper means
for securing solid returns for his an
nouncements. The results secured in
advertising depend very largely upon
the sagacity and enterprise displayed
by the merchant in selecting his me
dium and preparing his announce
ments. A long and uninteresting
“ad,” devoid of leading features or at
tractive arrangement, cannot be ex
pected to produce satisfactory results.
An advertisement appearing in a paper
in the month of May, calling atten
tion, with much detail, to a new stock
of winter goods, does not impress the
reader in a way calculated to bring re
sults to the advertiser; or, if the re
sults come, they are not apt to be of
the kind desired.
Merchants should change their an
nouncements frequently, and each ad
vertisement should tell something in
a brief and pointed way. And, above
all things, it pays, in advertising, to
tell the -simple, unvarnished truth.
Facts tell, and pay.

A Matter of Memory.
As a rale, it is best for the advertiser
to confine'each announcement to a
few leading articles. The average
reader remembers one or two facts,
briefly and thoroughly impressed,
with greater ease than a larger num
ber running through a somewhat cx-
teuded announcement. In the case of
a merchant, the first tiling to bo done
is to attract the buyers to his store.
When the buyers come there, if the
merchant cannot sell them it is his
fault, and not the fault of the news
paper or of the advertisement. The
tendency of the time is toward brief,
pointed, “meaty” matter, whether it
be of literary, uojrsy or business na
ture. The object sought by every ad
vertiser is to induce people to read his
announcements. An attractive ad
vertisement containing not too much
matter, and calling atteution to a few
specialties or leaders, is, alt things con
sidered, apt to bo read and remembered
by the largest number of individuals.

A Familiar Advertisement.
The advertising columns of the daily
papers have over been a fruitful theme
for speculation anil deep research. Of
the many which strike the observant
reader as, to say the least of it, .pecul
iar is that one emanating from the
man with the horse which he is always
desiring to sell, and which some unkind
fate would seem to hinder liim from so
doing. Quite a sad history attaches to
some of them. That one in which the
widow of a deceased merchant offers a
very “tony” horse at an absurd sacri
fice is eloquent of distress and kind-
heartedness. The horse always costs
originally $1,250, and equally, of course,
is for sale at $250.
Then follows a fearfully and wonder
fully worded *‘ad” in which the horse
is praised up to the skies. The stable
is always a “private” one. The steed
for sale undergoes some peculiar meta
morphoses both in breed and record.
He has always any number of aliases
so far os Ids first name is concerned.
By a strange coincidenoe each “stable”
lias its own pet surname. To give the
whole thing a glamor of genuineness
there is always for sale a top buggy,
harness and whip. The causes assigned
for the sale are monotonous, the changes
being run on “business complications”
and “death of owner.” Of course these
gentry are not acquainted with Adam
Smith, and do not know that s “little
originality and the diversion of their
energies to a new channel would lead
to fortune."—New York Telegram.
The Home Paper Best.
The clean nowpaper has, in the long
run, the most permanent patronage
and circulation. The paper which
goes into the homes and is read by the
families is the paper which counts its
subscriber*by the year, instead of de
pending on the fluctuating sales of tbe
news companies, and It is, after all,
the family newspaper which awinga
the power and pays the advertiser.
