Was a MisSiOnary.

An elderly colored man wearing a high.
cut vest and silk hat and who responded
to the name Henry Williams, was in Judge
Kimbalrs court today for the reason that
he had been suspected by the police of be-
ing engaged in the policy business. He con-
ducts small barber shop in Willow Tree
alley and does some missionary work, 80
he says. The police explained that he had
been going over the bridge, where the
policy business hourishes. But there was
no proof that he was engaged in the policy
business. Judge Kimball understood very
well how much need there is across the
river of missionary work and discharged
the old man to return to his barber shor
and also to resume his preaching.

Gold Democrats in south Carolina,

The gold standard democrats of South

Getting Worse and Worse

1t is getting worse and worse.
The negro Barfeld, who nur-
dered his wife in Beaufort county
some weeks ago, gets only nine
years III the penitentiary. He
was tried some years ago for an
other murder and acquitted on a
technicality. Not great while
ago a man was lynched in Beau
fort county, and the press and
people denounced those who took
the punishment of criminals in
to their own hands. They were
urged to let the executions be
after trial by jury. Since then
the Bonner murderers, Barheld
and others have escaped without
punishment commensurate with
their crime. What is the matter2

against the punishment of Grim

The advertising of a firm Is
built Oh regular and successive
steps. For the great voice III the
newspaper tells the world that
John Smith has something tc
sell, what it is good for, what ii
costs, and creates in the Gus
toner a desire to find out more
about it and buy it. Then comes
the customer to the store. An
attractive store has a great deal
to do right here, and the custom
er meets the man who is going
to do the selling.
Up to this time the advertise
nent has been a sort of letter of
introduction of customer to sales
man. Now this is where a first
class salesman shines. The sales
man has most OF the question to
decide as to whether the Gus
toner will buy the goods OF not.
Of course, conditions may pre-
vent even the best salesman from
making e sale, but great many
times he is master Of the sit
uation and can make the adver-
Using Of the firm pay o. not pay.
Then there Is another point:
The goods may not be, 50 good
as the customer believed them so
that even q good salesman can
not sell them. That's the fault
of the advertisement i'll the first
place.
To make advertising pay you
have to start-salne as III logic
with right promises If your
advertisements are good and i'll
the right place to attract CUSTOM
ers; if your store is attractive; if
your goods are the same as YOU
said they were, aud if your sales
men are capable, there's bound
to be a sale some profit and some
paying advertising. Under those
conditions, alone your advertis-
ing cannot help but pay. But
if one of the conditions or"pron-
lses' are not right your Advertise
ing may not pay.-The Hart

q Fence Idea.

The cost of fences, both i'll
labor to build and in destruction
of valuable timber-has led to
the adoption of the no-fence OF
stock law III most of the counties
of the State.
The first result Of the change
was the general abandonment OF
all the farm fences, and combining
all stock in lots or woods pass
lures. But, while it is to be
hoped the general use of the old,
troublesome unsightly rail fence
has gone to stay, farmers are beN
ginning to appreciate the advan
t7ge Of judicious pasturing Of
their helds-when it can be done
III dry weather on clay land with
out injury to the crop, it saves
many a dollars worth offeed.
This leads to the demand for a
cheap, movable fence, which has
not yet been invented one that
is simple, durable and easily
moved and reset.
In the absence of such an
ideal fence, the following plan for
permanent fencing is suggested
"a PLAZA that involves delay of
a few years, but will eventually
prove great advantage.
Lay off the farms into such
fields as will be of permanent
convenience, along the lines Of
division, plant young cedar trees
10 to IS feet apart, keep the
ground sufficiently clean around
the trees to ensure rapid growth,
and the lower branches trimmed
smooth and close to the body.
When the trees get 10 to II feet
high, the bodies ought to be 6
feet clear Of timber and strong
enough to serve as posts for w ire.
Now stretch the wire 3 strands,
and your fence is made
Use plain round or ribbon
wire when horses run, barbed
wire can be used safely only
against cattle. Hogs and sheep
can stay where they are, without
you want to add strands enough
to hold them too.
Let the trees grow OF; top them
at Is feet, and if necessary cut
back the branches, keeping the
body trimmed up to 9 or 10 feet
clear.
After serving as posts for IS OF
20 years, the trees may be cut,
each tree making two posts to
begin another round for IS or 20
years more.
BY adopting q plan Of this sort,
a farm may be kept perpetually
supplied with these desirable
posts. The growth and shade OF
tie trees will not affect half the
ground taken up by a rail fence,
no fence corner will eternally
need cleaning out Cultivation
may be done close up Oh both
sides and a neat picturesque ap-
pearance given the farm.
Any kind of tree bearing trans
planting would do for posts, but
the cedar is preferable on account
of its slow growth and final
superiority i'll lasting Tile Bill

A Flying Machine That Didn't
Work.

About four miles west of Utica,
Michigan, lives Andrew Nara
more, an aged farmer aud an i'll
ventor Some time ago Mr..
Naranore decided to eclipse all
his contemporaries in the invent
i've line by constructing a flying
machine. This machine con-
sisted OF huge pair of wings,
which were propelled by MOS
tons Of the arms, a pair of sails
SO constructed as somewhat to
resemble the feet of a duck, and
fastened to the feet, and with a
large rudder for steering. When
everything was complete Mr..
Naramore, who weighs 800
pounds, climbed to the top of a
shed to take a little trial trip
around the barn-yard. Reaching
the peak, he carefully crept out
to the end, and, raising the
gigantic wings, dropped off.
that is, Mr.. Naramore thinks he
dropped. He has only some
slight recollection Of what hap
Dened after he left the roof Of the
she'd. until he found himself
prone i'll the barn-yard. Mr..
Naranore has now given up the
idea of a successful flying ma
chine.
