Don't Advertise.

Don't do it. Don't advertise your
business; it's paying out money to ac-
commodate other people; if they want
to buy goods let them hunt you up.
Don't advertise, for it gets your name
abroad, and you are apt to be flooded
with circulars from business houses, aud
to be bored with 'drummers' from city
wholesale establishments, all of which
also results in soliciting your order for
new goods, and money to pay for them
which is very annoying to one of a
dyspeptic temperament.
Don't advertise, for it brings people
in from the country land country folks
you know are of an inquirng turn of
mind and they will ask you many
astonishing questions about prices, try
your temper with showing them goods,
aud even veX you with the request to
tie them up; which puts you to the ad
dtional trouble of buying more.
Don't advertise; it gives people
abroad knowledge of your town, and
they come and settle in it; it will grow
and other business men will be induced
to come in, and thus increase your com.
petition.
In short, if you would have quiet
town, not too large; ii you would not be
harrassed by multtudinous cares and
perplexities Of business; if you would
avoid being bothered with paying fol
and losing time to read great cumber'
some newspapers, just remain quiet
don't let the people know five miles
away where you are nor what you are
doing, and you viii! be severely let alone
to enjoy The bliss of undsturbed re.
pose.

The sub Ku Klux Committee, consist
Ing ex-senator Scott and Representatives
Stevenson and Van Trump, reached
Washington on the Goth ult., returning
from sojourn Of four weeks In various
parts Of South Carolina, where they
have been Investigating Ku-Klux out.
RACES. They first visited the capital OF
Columbia more than u hundred ref
ugees who had He'd from violence il,
various counties were there, but after
examining the witnesses for two days,
the Committee determined to 60 closer
TO the scenes of alleged violence, and
went to Spartansbufg. They expected
te remain there three or four days, but
stayed eleven. When the word got out
through Spartnnsburg county that they
were there, white and colored victims
came in by scores every day from all
directions. ~.-.s
Murders and cruel whippings by Ku-
Klux bands had so terrified them that in
many neigi,borhoods nearly every negro
IMAM aud Republican white man had
slept In the woods for months every
night. yTl,e showed sacrificed backs, gun
shot wounds, manned ears, and other
proofs of the violence they had suffered.
In Limestone Spring township, us
cases Of whipping were proved.
The committee awoke every morning
70 ilnd in the yard by the hotel new
IS 81,
of whom had suffered outrages which
cannot be described with decency; after
being whipped the victims, well known
persons, were often commanded, under
pain ofdeath, to publish ca rd re,ounc.
ing the Republican party. In file OF
the Spartan Democratic newspapers,
forty-two of such cards found, recently
published. At Unionvile the commits
tee remained two days; not Il white Re
publican was found in the place, though
members of the committee were private
ly assured by few that they would
avow themselves if protected. The
last election was carried by IA Republican
majority, but the Republican county
officers received ku.Klux notices, and
they resigned or fled. The killing OF
ten negroes taken from Jail by several
hundred Ku-Klux acting under military
organization, was Investigated.
A prominent lawyerof this place, Mr..
Shard, Democrat, on cross examination,
startled the Committee by stating that
he believed that almost every respect
able unmarried man in the community
belonged to the Ku- Klux, and he be-
leved a thousand Ku-Klux were within
u days march of that village.
Witnesses were examined on both
sides. Prominent citizens at various
points visited who were called by the
minority of the Committee, testified
GENERALLY that they had heard of the Ku
KiuX but never saw one. They seemed
to regard them as sort of vigilance
Committee or irregular local police, and
did not consider them legally organized,
but simply to repress outbreaks.
The Committee will adjourn Septem-
Der Goth.

4 great increaae in the order of Free
Masons has been shown lately in this
country, 10y the null tiplication Of lodges
and the erection Of new Masonic build.
! ings. \ census of the order, just taken,
shows that the increase is real one.
Over forty thousand new members have
been initiated during the past year, the
entire namber now reaching nearly
five hundred thousand. The reason
Of this prosperity lies probably, as much
rs in anything else, in the social attrac-
tons Of Masonry. The lodge supplies
the place Of club to its members, and
the entertainment it affords is an accep-
table relief to men wearied with the
cares of business. TO this are added the
more substantial benefits Of mutual as
sistance in distress for which the order
is celebrated, so that the wonder is
rather that it does not increase faster
than it does.

FOUND DRAD.-Yesterday morning the
dead body Of white man WAS found In
ditch on the farm Of Mr.. James Throgmor-
ton, near the Osborne turnpike, about I'VE
miles from Richmond. The man had been
hired to dig the ditch, and as his imp!e:
ments were lying beside him, it is supposed
that he fell dead while at wotk. An inquest
was held by Justice Atlce last evening, the
result Of which has not been communicated
to the press.
Since the above was written we have
learned that the deceased was probably
one Hans or John Rasmussen, and he is
believed to have been Swede by birth.
He was ditcher by trade. Being subject 10
fits, it is thought that he was taken with
one while at work, and falling into the
ditch and being unable to extricate him
self, was drowned, although the water was
only six inches deep: The deceased Is be be-
lieyed to have family in Richmond. His
body has not yet been inferred, and may be
seen at Mr.. Throgmorton's.

windows Of the store was priced OF, and
BY this means the store was entered. The

", but the gentlemen of the concern have
as vet missed nothing.
Next door to Me5srs. Shanks & Barrett
there is situated the office and depot Of the

was also forcibly entered by thieves, who
took of an iron bar from the back window
and got into Colonel Ordway's private
office, but did not succeed III finding any,
thug Of value which they could carry away.
Unsuccessful here, the thieves next turned
their attention to the penitentiary store,
which also adjoins Colonel Ordway's Office,
but on the north side. The entrance WAS
effected By moving bar which had been
taken of onse before by thieves, who were
frightened off before they had been able to
steal anything. On thus occasion the bur
glars succeeded in taking away ono pair of
patent-lcatber gaiter boots which had been
lett in the window.

made his escape through the front door to
the street by drawing the bolts. The de-
