A FEW POINTS FOR BUSINESS
MEN

1t has been demonstrated time after
time that judicious advertising pays
a handsome dividend. 10 fact, in this
fast age it is out Of the question for
man to successfully carry on any
business without advertising, and it
is only question as to what mode
he will adopt for that purpose.
Many men who say they do not be
lieve 10 advertising, are doing just
what they pretend not to approve.
The merchat hangs coats outside of
his door or pets bis dry goods in his
windows-thss's advertising. He
has cards printed lying on his coun
ter-that's advertising. He sends
out drummers through the country,
or puts bis name on his wagon
that's advertising. he labels the
articles Of his manufactured that's
advertising. If be has lost bis COW
be puts q written notice in the post
office, and tells bis ister-in>law-
and that's advertising too. He has
his name put up in gilt letters over
the door what is that but adveris-
ingi He paints his house red and
green or if tailor, he wears the
latest style; if doctor, he has his
boy to call him out of church 10
haste; if an auctioneer, be bellows
to attract the attention of pAssersby
if heavy merchant, he keeps a
large pile of boxes on the side walk
in front of his store-sud all for ad-
vertising,
1t is q matters of business with
business men to advertise 10 the mos
| judicious way, and we contend tina
the best plan is through the column'
of the most widely circulated newspa
par. A few lines 10 a newspaper tina
is read by all the people in the sec
ton where it is desired to let th'
facts be known, is worth more thar
a thousand posters on a tree anC
fences. A gentleman ran a notice il
our paper few days ago, and after
wards stated that it had been wortl
to him one thousand per cent. TIT
same opportunity is offered to others

LYNCH LAW.

Lynch law is to be deprecated IN.
der all circumstances, no matter
how great the provocation or slight
the cause, for the simple reason il
is as liable to err as to do right. To
listen to the ,hreatenings of Judge
Lynch, is to obey the mandates Of
madmen, where reason is dethroued,
passion run wild, and every mans
caprice is law.
That country is the happiest where
crime is punished, but that country
is the most miserable where terror
prevails and guerilla justice is meted
out.
Happily for our coun;y's fair rep
utation, it has not been blurred by
mob law, although outrageous crimes
have been perpetrated sufficient to
stir the blood to wrath and to deeds
of violence. Be it to the credit OF
our people, they have exercised
wonderful patience under some very
aggravatiDg circumstances.
The establishment of court houses
and jsils, the enforcement of judges
and the empaneling of jurors, have
not been without due influence in
enforcing a proper observance OIL
their rightful authority to rule and
to punish.
Let this respect to law continue
as eminently wise and just, and tina
no mans life be taken from him a
the suggestion of madness, passion
or prejudice. Let criminals b
punished by due process of law. Th,
judges and juries are doing thei
duty and no mans hands are stainet
with blood in wresking vengeAnc,
upon human beings unworthy t,
breathe Gods free air and have thei
place among men.
The courts are adequate and com
petent to mete out justice to ever,
! violatOr of law, although we know
sometimes that the hardness of jus
tice makes restless an incensed pop
ulace, yet it is best that the deceu
cies of civilization be preserved an,
that no man be hastily put to deaf
and buschered by mob.
How often has an Infatuated mob
lead on by lawless men of vengeance
deprived innocent men of life, al
though at the time strong suspicio
fastened guilt upon them 7 Du
time not being given to prove limo
cence, long after the body has rotte
in the ground, disclosures reveal tn
horrible fact that an innocent ma
had been unjustly put to death.
We have no use for mob>law
this country, and it should never |
countenanced, but voiced down an
rebuked whenever suggested.
Let all men have fair trial by
jury of peers, and if punished, let
be done according to the righteor
forms of law.

STRANGE EFFECT OF AN EARTH
QUAKE.

A Bucharest correspondent de-
scribes curious result following the
recent earthquake which passed un-
der that city. The soil of Buchar>
est is a rich, black, porus, vegetable
mould, very spriugy under pressure,
and carriages passing in the street
cause a strong vibration in the ad
jacent houses. The correspondent
says: "The Grand Hotel Boule-
ward, however, was an exception in
this general rule, and in my room,
facing the principal street, on which
there is a heavy traffic, | never could
feel any sensible effect from passing
vehicles. During the recent earth
quake the windows and crockery in
less massively constructed buildings
ratified very sensibly, whereas there
was no audible sound produced in
the hotel mentioned. Since the
earthquake shock, however, this
state OF things has changed entirely,
and every vehicle passing the hotel
causes vibration in the whole build
ing. The singular part of this
change consists in the fact that the
effect produced by the vehicle is
precisely the same as that accompa-
nying the earthquake 1t is not
jar as previously produced in other
buildings, but saving motion.
This movement is so great as to
cause pictures to sway backward
aud forward on the walls, and
it is equally perceptibIe 10 the rear
corner rooms farthest from the
street. The hotel is of brick, COW
cred outside with mastic, which
would show at once any crack in the
walls. have carefully examined
the exterior of the building, and
there is not a crack in it. Hence
this change in the solidity of the
structure appears to be due to some
effect produced in the earth under
meath the building by the shock of
earthquake"

Udner the head of "A Queer WelI,'

Udner the head of "A Queer Well,
the Sumter Republican has the fol-
lowing: A gentleman tells US that
w. D. Lumpkio, living near Taze
well, Marion county, has bored a
well ninety feet in depth, that every
time 1t becomes cloudy or rains the
water rises to the top, frying and
bubbIiog, Kissing and popping as
though it were boiling. He says
that there is a gas escaping from the
water which causes it to effervesce
II this manner, and that it is quite
