MANIA FOR SELF-DESTRUCTION
A Drunken Printer Repeats the Attempt
to Destroy Himself.

Thomas Powers, printer, attempted
suicide last night by jumping into the
bay. He was rescued by Officer J. w.
Glasscock, and taken to the city jail and
locked up. He pleaded to be left
alone, saying he wanted to drown himself.
The officer had hard time getting the
man back on the dock, as he refused to
help himself in any way. He was under
the influence of liquor.
This is not the first time that Powers
has attempted TO take his own life. A
few months ago be went into a
saloon on the corner of blanchard
and Front streets and took dose
of morphine. Doctors arrived in time
and succeeded in saving his life, though he
lay at Providence hospital for several days
afterward, recovering from the effects OF
the poison.
He will be tried this morning on charge
of drunkenness

HOW TO ADVERTISE.
Charleston World.

| Charleston World.
The question of method in adver.
tising is one having infinite range.
The matter is one of The very first
importance, and cannot be too
carefully studied. One thing about
il that may be set down as true is
that every mans advertising, in its
language and style, should be
charact acteristic-characteristic of The
man, characteristic of hls stock,
characteristic Of his commercial po-
sitIon. For every man has his Pc
culiarities of development. When
he speaks we know it is he, though
we may not be- looking at him, and
his advertisement should repre-
sent him like his voice. He should
put his experience, his industry,his
enterprise, into his advertising. 1t
is astonishing to see how mer-
chants who are tireless in their
industry-at the store, early and
late, close buyers, eager seekers
after business, quick 10 embrace
opportunities for enlargement of
lines and extention of trade-it ia
surprising TO see how such men
continue their advertising i'm the
language of the old rut, and an
nounce in the same words and in
the same type that did duty for
them years ago, that "B. Franklin
Tor any other man, the name
doesn't matter) is still TO be found
at the old stand, with choice lot
of dry goods, notions, etc.. etc."
(The two etc.'s are indispensable
In an "ad" of this kind.
There is another and better way
to do: II a merchant has any snap,
any energy. IN himself, let HIM
show ii in his advertising. Ii he
has any bargains in his store, let
him say so. If he has connections
which enable him 10 sell better
goods, or the same goods at lower
prices, than anybody else, let him
say that i; say 1T plainly, strongly
and in a way that will carry con-
viction of truthfulness; aud on
the same principle that leads him
10 treat visitors to his store so
that they will call again, let him
write his advertisement so that his
next advertisement will be looked
for; if you get a persons atteu-
lion once try 10 hold it. The whole
thing is summed up in this : One
should study advertising as he does
every other department of his bus
mess. Advertising is a science,
simple. il is true, as to its main
elements, but requiring more
thought anc system than many OF
our business men have been accus-
TONED 10 give IL.

The drones are the male bees of
the hive. They do no work except
to act in parental capacity and

its place they have a good appe-

are destroyed by the workers soon
after the honey season, and the
widows haye it all their own way.
About nine-tenths of the hive are
workers, or females, say $4,000 or
$4,000. These are the busy bees
referred to in school books. They
get up early in the morning, eat a
hasty meal, and go out looking for
honey. They fly with great force
and as straight as a bullet. Some
times they try to 90 through

amusing article:

constitutional lawyer. Ii is not
true that his trousers are cut with
circular saw, and his coats are in
reality made in Washington in.

are undoubtedly baggy and the re-
mark of Senator Vance as to them
is not altogether out of the way.
Vance says that he never takes
rear view of his friend George
