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. His mother, who was in his j
room door, also received a severe ]
shock. Mr Haigler was unmarried, t
143 years of age. He was a farmer

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

Sudden Death of Mr Chas Bryan.
Mr Charles Bryan, aged about
twenty-five, a conductor on the
Georgetown and Western Kailway,
died suddenly Saturday evening in (
his room at the Palmer House. The
cause of death is attributed to heart
dise ase. The very warm weather is
believed to have precipitated the
climax. Mr Bryan, a popular young
man and efficient railroader, came
to Georgetown from Trio, where his
body was taken Sunday morning for
interment. He leaves relatives at
Trio, Andrews and Georgetown.?
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.
