The DUTY and Status Of Every
Democrat.

Tho Central Democratic Club Of Abbcvlle
County met in the Court House last Thurs
day Twelve Of tho nineteen local clubs
were represented. Col. Cothran, president
of the Central club occupied tho chair, and
w. H. Parker, ESQ, acted rs secretary.
The chief purpose for holding tho meeting
was to hear reports from the various local
ut the previous meeting the ienco Jaw qucs-
ton. Before going into transaction Of bust
ness the chairman made few woll timed
and pregnant remarks on tho signs and the
needs of the times, lie referred to the recent
elections in Beaufort. Sumter and elsewhere,
in which the Republicans had shown thcir
strength rs party, and he aaid that the
successful opposition was unifcaton. There
was growing disposition throughout the
State not to load down tho Democratic party
with any weight of side issues fenco laws,
bond question, educational question or any
other. The unity Of the party was paramount
to all other questions. We wcro still, lie said,
in the revolution; the struggle was not over,
and VIC ought to make hard fight to keep up
our party and preserve our State. lie referred
to the ousting of the six judges as q proof Of
our being still in transition state, and had
not yet attained that condition in which We
could afford to be ''at ease in Hion." With
reference to "indcpondents" he laid it down
ns maxim that mo good Democrat can be
found outside the Democratic party, and that
any nominal Democrat who would appeal to
the Republicans for their vote or assistance is
worse than Republican. Considering una
nimity in the ranks ofthe Democracy as the
first and last necessity, Col Cothran strongly
! urged that the local clubs and Central Club
should rcncw their allegiance to their party.
The TRUE WAY TO ADvERTIsE.-Thc snpe-
,,,n ,1r2 Il
over all other forms is thus apty pointed out
by the Boston Post:
The ingenuity of business men has been
taxed to the utmost during tho mad competi-
| ton OF the last score of years to devise tho
| most effective means Of advertising. They
have turned vandals and painted tho pictu-
rescue rocks with incflhccablc puffs Of what
they could do or had to sell. They have
| printed and distributed cards and circulars;
they have framed and mounted posters in
railway stations and other places where the
public congrcgatc, and they have tried many
other ways Of catching tho public eye; but
none have stood the test so we'll, and none
have made such assured returns as their
patronage OF the first class newspapers. The
shrcwdest business men of the Detroit Stove
| Convention, held some time ago advised the
trade to advertise exclusively with the news.
papers. The head of q large and successful
business house in New York, who had nearly
half ccntury's experience, said recently:
"For torty'sevcn years nine.cnths Of our
advertising has been in fret class newspapers
Of our whole expenditure all that We regret
is containedin Mat othcr tcnth." Advertising
IN newspapers is an art and those who adycr.
tlse good deal seem TO understand it SO rs
to mako their announcements attractive md
striking. In this city rs we'll as in others,
our most successful business men arc those
who do the most advertising. They arc better
known nt home, and especially arc they better
known to those who como from other places tc
Boston to trade This is ono of tho most
conclusively demonstrated facts of business
and whom spring trade opens it will be
profitable fact to remember.
