THURSDAY. MAR 23. 1906.
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.

until ^his last illness he was H

was taken suddenl}' ill and *
gradually grew worse in spite \
ot the kind attention of his de- J
voted family and neigh bors. On !
Thursday, just as the evening !
shadows were lengthening into |.
the shades of night, this brave |:
old veteran, who had fought i)
for the "Bonnie Blue Flag,''j!
gave up the ghost and answered !:
| the last roll call.
1 When tlie cjvil war commenced i'
Mr Altman let t his home and :
for four years fought bravely ;
for the Lost cause, being- wounded
three times. When the war
ended he married Miss Mary
Brockinton, and settled near
Morrisville and engaged in
farming, where he lived a quiet,
unassuming life. Mr Altman
leaves a wife, five sons and two
daughters, besides a host of
friends to lament his death. His
remains were laid to rest at
HJnion church Saturday morning,
Vev Mr Wilder conducting the
fVieral services.
We extend to the stricken
family our heartfelt sympathy
and trust that they may be
comforted by the Father of the
fatherless and the widow's God.
