How Advertising Compels Atten-
tion.

A writer In AL the Year Round saws :
The truth is, i'll this world sheer labor and
industry always make themselves felt. This
ia q theory that would be dear TO Mr.. Carl le
as representing something real and genuine.
Work, he would tell US, is never thrown
away. Men who spends sums OF money,
and sums OF trouble and toll, together with
much ingenious poiychrome!ie device, in
fourishing their names and wares, are pretty
certain to fud such bread as they have cast
upon the waters returning to them. The
wise who travel in the underground railways
and see "KItto's Starch" starting at them
from over the heads of their vis-a-Vis 10 the
carriages, or the "Grasshop2er Sewing Ma
chine" no doubt salute those titles with
''pish p and "pshaw /" But later, as their
eye wauders over the newspaper or dead
wall, or omnibus knife board, or hy-leaf OF
magazines, and sees everywhere, as a muir
.derer does blood, "Kitto's Starch, "Grass-
hopper Sewing Machine a kind of dull, in.
sensible impression is produced. By and
bye, when either of these important neeess-
aries are in demand in the readers family,
ard when there is an impression of doubt
or ignorance, tho poor aid de,camp of con-
ceit, or conscious superiority, steps in and
aids the advertiser. When all are cropping
in the dark, it is hard to resist the conscious
sense Of superiority. "Starch Why,
there is fellow called Kitto, who seems to
be in great demand at least his name is
everywhere. Sewing machine Get the
G1asshoPper-only four guineas.' 1t will
thus be seen that the advertising owes a good
deal to the pardonsble little ipfrmaties OF
our Naturalization Newspaper Reporter.

precedents. The latter assertion is now
being verified in the case OF the Radical
party in North Carolina. Last year,
Holdsn and his supporters desired to
remove some conservative judges; they
accordingly passed a law providing that
while charges on Impeachment were

deposed from Office. It was done. Now,

7 sua1ay Morning. January l, 1871.
1sg1-Tas Hov year,

This morning ushers IN new year.
The year 1870 has passed away, with its
numerous and diverse incidents, indi-
vidual and national-witll its record,
religious. social and political. What is
past, we cannot recall. But we are wise,
if reviewing the past in the spirit Of a
sober inquiry, we shall resolve to ana
lyze it truthfully. to study it's great
lessons and to derive benefit from the
review. The year just passed away has
been an eventful one for the nations.
It has been an eventful one for many
on individual. But it is gone-passcd
away-wlth its hopes and fears, with it's
births and deaths, with it's disasters and
victories. A new year is upon the indi-
vidual,. the nation, the world. It comes
with its grave responsibilities. 1t comes
with its great duties. We cannot soy
that here in South Carolina it comes
under very fair auspices. Whilst doubt
less we have had cause to be grateful for
calamities withheld and blessings re-
ceived, yot there is mt1ch In the political
and industrial world in which we 1.-Two
to arouse our anxieties. The skies are
not so bright, and our surroundings are
not so agreeable as we might desire.
But yet, after all, is our duty the same.
Th:t duty is obvious. It is to banish
all traitorous doubts, and in faith and
hope to work on. We have our respon-
sibilites to meet-our responsibilities
to God, our country and our families.
These must be met and discharged.
Let them be met earnestly, hopefully
and perseveringly, to the end that they
may be discharged efficiently and victo-
riously. We have victories to win, and
God helping, we shall win them-victo-
ries over ourselves, by which we shall
be made better, wiser and purer-victo-
ries over the forces of nature, by which
our material progress shall be quickened
victories over the depressing political
influences around and over us, by which
the State shall be redeemed aud re-
established.
To those duties we respectfully and
earnestly summon our readers. In this
spirit of faith, hope aud work, we ask
them aud ourselves to begin the duties
OF the New YEAR.
