ADVERTISING THAT PAYS.

"The more a man learns about Adver- Using the more he finds there is in it Ito learn." says the Denver Republican. "The potency of printers ink. the sub tie power of printed page. impress him a little at first and then a great deal, and in the end sets him to think ing hard of the illimitable possibilities of an honest. judicious lad" And re- suits sometimes astound him.
 The Republican gives the result of an experiment made by a leading Denver firm in advertising through a period of several months. Previously they had a6v ertised only intermittently, and with no system. They determined to find out if advertising really pays. They selected two Denver papers for the test The Republican was one of them. At the end of the period set for the test the business of the firm had increased 200 per cent, and the entire increase. it was clearly proved, was due to systematic and continual news paper advertising.

AS TO CUBA.

The San Antonio Express prints [ timely article relative to the possible attitude of the United States toward Cuba after the Spaniards have been overcome. The Express very properly concludes that we shall have to exer- else a general supervision over the islands for some time to come and only relinquish control when the Cubans both desire and are capable of main taining a stable, independent govern ment
 The Cubans will be disappointed if they imagine they are to- be turned loose at once to work their own sweet
 will upon the island. They are evil dently incapable of establishing now such a government as we want to see in Cuba The war has disclosed weak
 aesses in the Cubans that we of thil country did not know existed soma months ago, and public opinion has naturally undergone change towards them. There is still no disposition to rob them, without their consent of their island, and their very weakness appeals only the strong sr to our generosity and im- pulses of humanity, but when I've undertook to raise them we as- stunned the responsibility of their fu- ture conduct, and can not turn them Iccco upfi1 fhov ora Cfropo ;r ~,,frd and body and able to walk alone. " This may be in months or it may be in years, but until then the United States must and will exercise gen. eral supervision over the island.''
 AS the Express intimates, we were not actuated by considerations of hu- manity alone in interfering in Cuba Our national interests as well as hu- maLity dictated an order to Spain to get out of the West Indies. Cuba is almost a part of our mainland, and dis orders there affect us vitally, both in our trade and in the indignities to American citizenship. We can no more suffer such annoyances to exist under a Cuban government than under Spain nor will we.
 Our declaration in the Cuban reso- lutions precludes us from wantonly seizing the island for our permanent use. but it fixed no time in which we would recognize the existence of a na- tive independent government, nor did 1t pledge us never to annex the island if the people of Cuba should prefer an- nexation. We are simply obligated to see in Cuba such a government as its people want-when they are capable Of maintaining that government as it should be maintained.
 It is more than probable that in time, and that not long time, Cuba will follow the course of Hawaii and knock for admittance. Before that. however, there may be desire to try independence, but until the population of the island is fully equal to the task of supporting strong administration, that can maintain internal order and justice and liberty, guard life and property and meet it's obligations to foreign nations, it is certain the United States will hold the island and super wise its affairs with a strong hand. It would be silly sentimentalism on the part of our government to act other wise.

For a Free Bridge.

4 Novel Scheme Now Being Worked
up in Columbia.
Columbia Evening Record.
An effort is being made to build q
bridge across the Congaree on the
following plan:
That $4,000 be subscribed in
shares of 800 each. When $4,000
is subscribed the subscribers will
meet and organize by the election OF
officers and q board of directors
Application will then be made for a
charter to erect an iron bridge. When
the balance of $4,000 is subscribed,
then under the board of directors an
assessment of between 20 and 25 per
cent. per share will be made and
collected. Then work will begin on
the bridge, and when this is expended
the board of directors will mortgage
or float bonds to raise funds to COM
plete an iron bridge with double
track for wagons, one track for street
railway and one foot track, and when
completed the street railway, the
wagon and foot way will pay toll fer
crossing the bridge. When the tolls
collected are sufficient to pay all LA
bilities incurred in the erection and
incidental expenses, in building and
running the bridge, including interest
on the money borrowed and ad-
vanced, the bridge shall be turned
over to the county commissioners OF
Lexington and Richland and the
street Car company, to be kept IN
repair by the said county commits
sioners and street car company as a
free bridge forever. Each sub
scriber shall be entitled to a certain
per cent. of free crossing, to be de-,
termined by the board of directors.

The Blue Birds Have Returned.

Subsequent to the great freeze Ct
several winters age the absence of
the blue bird from the woods and
from around our houses was subject
of general remark sll over the State,
and various theories were advanced
to account for their disappearance,
toe most prevalent Of which was
that they were unable to withstand
the riso:s of that severe winter and
they succombed to the intense cold.
Each succeeding spring failed to
witness their return and it had
become a settled opinion among our
people that this species Of bird had
become extinct. This, however,
proves to be erroneous as these birds
can now be seen in large numbers in
twitting and chirping in the woods
and on fences.

We exceedingly regret that
pressure Of important business pre-
vented US from hearing the charge
of Judge D. A. Townsend to the
grand jury on the opening day CT
court. We have heard hunters say
taat it was the most comprehensive
and exhaustive charge that has been
delivered here in many n year. He
dwelt with emphasis upon the Tarl-
Gus duties of the grand jury and was
very clear in his instructions to them.
Judge Townsend has presided over
this term Of court with mar ked abil-
ity, delivering his opinions with that
prcmptress which showed his remark
able knowledge of the law. He has
won the golden opinions from our
people.
Solicitor Thurmond showed a
marked improvement in the manage
ment of the cases with which he has
had to handle since last he was here,
and this is saying great deal IN bis
favor. He has been very successful
in securing convictions, baving secur-
cd twelve convictions out Of thirteen
cases given to the jury. Mr.. Thur
mond displayed skill and tact in
handling the side Of the prosecution
and be has made a name for himself
which will stand him we'll in the
years to come. We congratulate
both Judge and Solicitor on the sue
cess in discharsipg the duties of the
court in this county.

tide of prosperity shall sweep over

Today the Nandercook case cane
up before the United States Supreme
Court for final hearing. 1t will be
remembered that the Vandercooks
are California wine merchants and
shipped a car load of their stuff 20
Charleston to tickle the aristocratic
throats of the people of that city, con-
tending that the dispensary law was
unconstitutional because it gave tie
Safe monopoly of the whisky bust
ness within her boz ders, and that it
interfcrred with the interstate CON-
merce law. In an action argued
before Judge Simorton these con-
tentions were upheld and the State
was at once flooded with blind tigers
and blind tiger whisky. From this
decision the State took an appeal to
the Supreme Court.

them burned, there would have been
no possible means at our command
