Cameron, June 26:?The citizens of Cameron were shocked to learn | this morning that Sidney S Haigler j | was killed last night by lightning, j, Like most of the people of the town 1 j he had become alarmed at the con-1 j fl.okjno, Af liVhtning and j ] UUUUU9 IIOOIIIU^ v* ..0 about 1:30 o'clock this morning was / sitting on the edge of the bed. The | discharge struck nothing outside of the house, but entered through the r window, breaking a pane and also j the corner bed post next to the win- ( dow. Another bed on which Mr r Haigler was sitting, only about two ( feet from the one struck, was not t injured by the discharge, but the j electric shock was too severe for him 1 and he was dead in about 30 min- j utes.

He was a farmer 1 * '" -1 -1 o man : , ot the suostantiai ciass wu a ?*?. , of model deportment. The following j members of the family survive him: r His mother, Mrs Wm Haigler; a sis- . ter, Mrs Tillman Sharp; a brother, Asa Haigler. Publicity vs. Advertising. If you should go out of doors and stand on your head, wave your feet wildly, all the while repeating the Constitution of the United States until a crowd collected and the whole town was set talking?that . woulc be "publicity." But it would not bt advertising. If ycu put a pair of cub bears in your wi.idow, trained to dance the "turkey trot" and the "bunny hug," and if they drew a crowd which looked like a Roosevelt reception? that would be publicity. But it would not be advertising. 1 If you get out some souvenir which children cry for, mothers beg for, and fathers ask for; and if you put it out in the usual manner, so it failed to forcibly convey a message , of your goods?that would be pub- j licity. But it would not be advertising. . Publicity is just a loud noise, heard , by many, without a moral and without a message. . Advertising is a message to many people about your goods?their high quality; why people should buy of you. Moral?As your advertising medium,select a good,reliable newspaper, ( with a guaranteed, circulation, and talk to your expectant patrons \ straight from the shoulder. ^ 1 HAVET s We've Been C n: "We have the goods!"

Georgetown Times, Moved Into New Quarters. The Kingstree Hardware Co and the People's Mercantile Co, for a number of years past doing business at the corner of Academy and Mill streets, have moved into their splendid new store houses on Hampton avenue. A force of carpenters are still engaged in putting the finishing touches on these elegant buildings, but they in no way interfere with the business of these popular firms, who are getting their Jarge stocks of hardware and merchandise into shipshape order as rapidly as they can. These new business houses are handsome and valuable additions to the town and as such will compare favorably with any in this section of the State. Messrs Milhous & Jennings have moved their furniture business into one of the spacious store-rooms just completed by the People's Mercantile Co. )DS." vo. g--Growing. ^ tisfaction in knowing that all customers.
