VOTING IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The proper committee of the Con-
stitutional Conyention of South Caro-.
lima have agreed on the quail flcations
of voters which are to be recommended
to the Convention. The Baltimore
Sun says of them that they contain
nothing cxceptionable, and adds:
"Thc would-be voter must be reg
istered resident, who has paid his poll
tax, and can read and write, or be a
resident who pays taxes on 5000 worth
of property. Till January 1, 1898,
persons who cannot read or write may
be registered and have the right to
vote If they can understand and ex-
plain clause in the Constitution
when read to them. The main re-
Quirement, it is seen, is such degree
of intelligence as enables the citizen
to acquire the elements Of an educa-
tion or the possession Of a certain
amount of property the acquisition
and retention of which iSassumeu to
imply a like amount of intelligence.
The literary requirement is not to be
applied at once, but the illiterate are
to be given two years in which to
learn to read and write. Payment
of taxes is to be required of all would
be voters. The list of voters is to be
revised every ten years."

NUMBER 35.
NOT IN 1T.
Press and Printer.

Press and Printer.
There are men in every town whodo
not advertise. You may know them.
Very few do. They call themselves
business men but they are not. Ev.
erybody who is in business is not
business man by any means. You
and the man who does not advertise
IN the dark side streets, with dingy
surroundings and general air OF
dilapidation hanging about him. He
is not really in business. He is only
hanging to the ragged edge Of the
business world. A great many men
who spend money for advertising do
not make it pay. They would not
buy farm and dump lot Of corn on
its unplowed surface with the cxpec-
tation of reaping bountiful crops, but
they treat the advertising space in
just that way, and then wonder why
the harvest doesn't come. Don't i'm
agine that you are saving money by
patronizing cheap advertising medi-
ums. A small space in high-priccd
paper will be found to pay better than
large space in low.priced paper.
On the same principle that you wOuld
buy good ground if yon wanted to
raise a good crop Of wheat, buy good
advertising space to reap a harvest Of
dollars. Don't imagine that because
you cannot put lot Of money into
advertising you cannot afford to do
any advertising at all. Many of the
successful advertisers in the world to-
day started out by inserting few
lines Of locals in single paper at a
small expenditure. The only business
so far discovered that is not helped by
a liberal use of printers ink is that Of
the bank rObber. or the confidence
man. Retail merchants frequently
get the idea into their heads that be.
cause they sell things that the public
must have and sell at low margin,
advertising would not help them any.
There never was more erroneous
notion. Judicious advertising will
increase any legitimate business and
the grocer, the dry goods merchant,
any one has anything to sell and who
does not use his local paper and in
other ways keep himself before the
public, is ncglecting one Of the most
powerful aids he can find In his efforts
to attain success.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1895-10-18
MY WOTHEHS SONG.

When the thrushes cease their singing and the
wild bees leave the clover;
When the glory of the sunset fades, and
leaves the heavens pale;
When above the hill and mountain mis- ty
shades of twilight hover,
And the discords of the daytime far away in
distress fall
When the rath wheat gently rustles, and the
tinid aspcns shiver,
And the west winds signing softly scent
from sleeping flowers bring;
When the peewits cry together plaintively by
brook and river
Then it is that hear the old song that my
mother used to sing.
Round my neck feel the pressure of her
fingers warm and slender,
And in sleeping dreams and waking | have
felt it many times,
Just as when of old listened to that ditty
quaint and tender,
Till the boughs that waved above MS caught
the cadence of th rhymes
And my heart throbs loud and quickly as
hear it rising clearer,
Youth is mine, its hopes and visions, dreams
aud plans are mine again;
Earth is fairer, life is sweeier-ay, and heaven
itself seems nearer
To me as list in fancy to that ne'er forgot
ten strain.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1895-10-18
ALL IN HER CHIN.

Never marry a woman with a
square, prominent chin" said the phi
losopher with beard, gazing ab-
stractedly out of the car window,
"unless you want boss"
"And don't 20 off and get wife
with retreating chin, either, If you
care to know just what is going to
