FROM OUR OLI) HOME.
^ Mr. John R. Mathis, an ex-New>errian,
is associate editor of the
Union Times and is giving the Union
people a spicy paper.?Herald and
News.
Mr. John It. M;?tliis, a Newberry
man, is local editor of the I'nion
Times, and lie knows how to toll the
news in a style that's interesting.?
The Newberry Obse'rver.
We appreciate the above, coming
R9 it does, from the pens of such veterans
in the newspaper business.
Some of the papers intimate that
.isryan is dead. I?ut, judging from
the number of speeches lie is making
in different sections, and the immense
audiences who are listening to and
cheering him, ho is the liveliest dead
man extant.
i ADVERTISING.
We heard a merchant say the other
day that he did not sea the use of advertising
in the dull summer season,
ile preferred to wait until fall, then
rnSn1 u\jui<Ai0"Vtife0; ^rgc"au.v attonip'
to drive away, when Smith brained h
with ^ - -- ? TTy
This is surely false economy. The
simple fact that it is a dull time of
the year is an argument for udvertis'ying.
Put your finger on a progressive
?ml nrftsnflrous business firm, one
?...v t 1
who has busy ciorks behind his counters
in season and out of season, and
we will name you a man who adver?
tlses, and keeps on advertising, and
his most attractive and catching ads
appear in the "dull" summer season.
- * 9 He keeps his business before the people,
he lets them know of any special
leader he wishes to run. The people
go to him and find that he has bargains
to otTer them in clearing off the
sWelves to make room for the new
goods he has ordered. They remembor
the place where they got their
bargains in the summer, ami they invariably
hunt him up when they get
ready for their fall goods. Those who
got there are the ones who advertise.
There is a right and a wrong way to
advertise. To advertise successfully
one should secure a good advertising
space according to the amount of advertising
he v' .lies to do.
he should make that
space us attractive and catchy as
he can. Xot try to enumerate every
article he has in stock?thus crowding
his space so that it lias the appearance
of a patent medicine ad.
nd then let it remain so for months
t a time, and expect the people to
>ck in. lie should make his an
uncements short and spicy, calling
/pecial attention to some leaders or
irgains this week then change the
jxt week to something else, thus alb
wing the printer to use his space
I 4b attractive and catchy type.
1 By thus constantly changing
P his advertisement and con
3UOUsly showing up his spccialgt
, the merchant teaches the people
vatch his space for something new,
i forcing the readers to read his
H every week, while the merchant
HI the contracted space, overded,
and never changed, grum|^H
oecause his advertisement is not
9|H| ing him the trade lie expected.
p-to-date wido-awake merchant.
1 fitter his advertising space the

We do not know what games 1). N. j
1 W. has been, attending, but he is oeri
i taiuly mistaken when ho intimates

i cannot be absolutely stopped any ;
more than you can prevent two per- !
sons, so disposed, from bet ting on the j
I length of a sermon they may he listen- j

i to Saturday's game v,*e will endeavor I
i * - i

merit and he can then judge for him;
self if the innocent amusement is
"carrying the people to ruiu."

j all the news possible to please the
different people who read.

that the people are ten toonc in favor J

of the newspaper men in their endca- '

mosphere itself is Ill1e<l with the absorbing
mania to such an e\ter.t that,

of dollars to build a ])lace that is

is it not at least the appearance of
