The time that advertising pays best is when business is dull. When your business is on a boom it needs no advertising. The Georgetown "Outlook" has enlarged to a six column quarto. We have always had a kindly feeling1 for the Outlook and we hope that its existence may be perpetual. As a favor to us we ask our friends, when they come to Eingstree or go to any town in the county whose merchants patronize our columns, to give the preference when they want to buy anything to the mer1 chants who advertise in The : Record. The "Pee Dee Advocate" has improved "muchly" in typographical appearance since Mr A F Perkins has taken hold of the mechanical department. Like ourself, Friend Freeman has had to pay the penalty of trying to edit a county newspaper without being himself a practical printer. One of our exchanges recently published the following "local." "A left hand lady's glove was picked up near this office and handed us for the owner, who can obtain same by applying at this dffice." Ever since reading the above paragraph we have been puzzling over how our astute contemporary "Sherlocked" his knowledge that the fair owner of the glove referred to was lefthanded. Some time ago some one said to a merchant in Manning, whose advertisements have at various times appeared in most of the newspapers throughout this section of the State,4''Mr?, you spend a lot of money in advertising, do you think it pays?* "Does it pay?" replied the merchant, "what success I have made in the mercantile business I attribute more to newspaper advertising than anything else." Here is a man who advertises freely and knows how to advertise. The proposed cotton factory announced in these columns last week has given rise to some discussion and several of our friends have inquired as to what information the article was based upon. At this junc tnre it would be premature to publish anything further than has already been said. Suffice , it to say that the article was' not merely an idle suggestion or "hot air." The enterprise is not only possible but ex- [ tremely feasible if our people j wilPtake hold of it and push it through. We are authorized to j repeat what we said last week, I that thousand dollars of home capital will make the cotton mill an assured fact before tweire months have elapsed. Bring us your JOB WORK for quick delivery. The business men of Georgetown have subscribed $10,000 to establish a newspaper to exploit the resources of Georgetown and contiguous territory. "The Carolina Field" is the name of the proposed newspaper, and its editor is our brilliant and versatile friend. Mr James Henrv Rice, Jr. We wish the venture success, but to a looker-on at this distance it seems that it would have been better policy for the new paper to have bought out one or both of the two newspapers now published in Georgetown, by which the field of operation contemplated by "The Field" is pretty well occupied at present. The County Record now goes to thirteen hundred people every week. This is by long odds the biggest circulation that any newspaper in Williams-* burg county has ever had. This is not a "dead head" list, for every one who subscribes to this paper is expected to pay for it and our rule will be strictly enforced in future to cut off all delinquents at the end of the year. With a circulation like this our advertising space is Valuable to business men who have something to sell. Money invested in space in a live newspaper, backed by a large ciicui-A*? ; - xi? i x i. i. iaxion, is xiir oest investment that can be made by a merchant. DEATH OF MK THOMAS ALTMAN.

When the war ended he married Miss Mary Brockinton, and settled near Morrisville and engaged in farming, where he lived a quiet, unassuming life.
