Last week, Messrs. Editors, some one
calling himself Farmer took us to
task for what we said, or, rather, for
what we should have said, about the
caD,pmeeting at Sinai. We never have
felt it our duty to attend such places,
and, of course, our information was
gathered from outside sources. We
learned that several confection stands
were run on the grounds all the time.
but was not informed who conducted
them. If Farmer is aware that one
of them was run by one of our Repre-
sentatives and beer was sold, it is GER
tainly his duty to specify, call names
and bring the matter before the proper
authorities and have him punished.
We have no desire to cover sin in any
form whatever, and condemn 1T as
quick in a Representative as any one,
and we will guarantee that it you will
let the people know who the fellow IS,
with sufficient proof, he will never
represent Anderson County again in
the Legislature. Now, Mr.. Farmer
as it seems that you were present and
saw the beer stand, together with the
ungodly s.jinnie," come out and call
names, and we will promise you that
in the future we will not vote for this
Representative, if we did in the past.
We have had rain, but it came too
late to benefit cotton materially. We
are feeling blue over the gloomy pros

During the rains last week lightning
struck tree near tenant house on
Mr.. w. H. Wright's farm. Itran down
the tree following the roots under the
stove room, tore up the floor, Overturn-
ed the stove and dining table, breaking

lying under the house. The family
were stunned, but no one was hurt.
A large amount Of timber of all ages

being the cause. Old people say that
it presages great deal of sickness.

RESULTS.

A well-known merchant in Jersey
City, in a recent interview with a
Journal reporter of that city, attri-
butes his success entirely to judicious
advertising. He said:
"The new advertiser looks for di-
rect and immediate returns from his
advertising, and if he doesn't get
them is likely to think the advertis-
ing Improbable. The old and expert
enced advertiser is willing to wait
for results, and it is he who gener-
ally gets them. Only bargain adver-
Using brings in business with a rush ;
and it must be remembered that bar
gain advertising is not profitable in
itself-the profit comes later. Bar
gains bring people again, and it is
the people who come again who make
profitable customers. A single adver-
tisment can seldom be hoped to pay,
and the cumulative effect of repeated
advertising is the strongest element
in the success of advertising.

CosTL1EsT SPORT IN THE WORLD

To the men Immediately interested,
international yacht-racing is the cost
lest sport in the world. The bill for
the yachts themselves for building,
alterations and repairs, will amount
to fully $3.50, 600 for each; the expense
eof racing them cost their respective
owners easily $3.50, 900 more. Here is
cool million just for building and
racing the boats. The sails alone cost
as much as an ordinary sailing yacht.
The Columbia's sails are said to have
cost IS, 900, and the Shamrock's even
more, for hers were woven to order
from Egyptian and Sea Island cotton
mixed with silk. The expense of
maintaining the crew was, or rather
is, enormous, for the boats are not
yet out of commission. 1t is said that
the skipper of the Columbia receives
So, 900 for his services. The salary of
the mate is one hundred dollars a
month the second mate, forty dollars !;
the four quartermasters, thirty five
dollars a month each, and the thirty
two members of the crew each thirty
dollars month. Food for the crew
costs easily 5000 month; each tender
accompanying the yacht costs 81, 900
for the few weeks of the season, and
dockage and tonnage cost about So, 900
more for each yacht. Estimates of
the total cost of the Shamrock have
been placed all the way from $3.50, 900
to $3.50, 900. Probably Sir Thomas
himself does not know exactly what
his little sport has cost him; there are
doubtless stacks of bills yet to be
presented-such bills as SIG, 900 for
the charter of four tenders, and So, 400
wages for twenty extra sailmakers for
three months. Besides all this, Sir
Thomas paid 1915, 600 for his steam
yacht, his sea-home, the Erin,
800, 900 more in fitting her out, and
another 500, 600 in entertaining guests
during his visit. The most impress
sive feature about this array of costs
is that the yachts upon which SO
much has been spent are useless after
the races. The Columbia, for instance,
can race no more, for there will
probably be no yacht fit to meet her,
and for cruising she would be fail
ure. In year or two her delicate
hull will be worth only the metal of
which it is made.
The money spent by yacht owners
in entertaining also reaches far into
six figures. Commodore Morgan en-
tertained at least 100 guests every
race-day; and Howard Gould and
John Jacob Astor entertained even a
greater number. ellison Willets in
Leslie's Weekly.
