A Full Vote in this State.

COLUMBIA, S. c., October Co.
Col. Willie Jones, State Chairman, is
very anxious to have a full vote in
this State in the approaching general
election. He thinks it will do n
great deal of good, and urges every
voter to go out and cast his ballot.
The following appeal has just been
issued by the State ChairmaD and
succinctly gives the reasons for
wanting large vote:
TO the Democratic Voters Of South
Carolina In view of the present
apathy which seems to exist among
the Democrats of this State as to
voting at the general election, feel
it to be my duty as your Chairman
to address you in this public manner,
and urge that you all come out on
November 9th and cast your votes
for the Democratic ticket, from Pre-
sdcnt to Coroner. Our people have
gotten into the way Of thinking that
when they have cast their votes in
the primary there is no further use
to vote. But this is Il very danger
GUS policy to pursue and may result
in great harm to our State. Our
State and County ticket arc SAFE, as
the Republicans have put up no op-
position at all.
The Republicans have an electoral
ticket in the field, composed mostly
of negroes, and they have candi-
date in every Congressional District
in this State, hoping to have their
candidates seated by a Republican
House. Let every Democratic voter
come out and vote for the Democratic
nominc.s in his District, and elect
them by such an overwhelming ma
jority that not even Republican
House would dare unscat them or
even consider contest.
The Democrats of this nation have
given you one of the grandcst, purcst
and most brilliant men this country
has ever produced, and the Demo
Gratis OF this State have given you
seven Of your best men as candidates
for Congress, and | cannot believe
that you will not come out and vote
for them. We have heard of late
various threats on all sides that our
representation in Congress would be
reduced by Republican Congress
on account of our small vote in the
general election.
Now, acknowledgements, do not
allow this serious charge to be made
against you. WILLIE JONES,
State Chairman Executive Com.

1t Will Pay.

The success of the late b. II. Bah
bitt was due to two things above all
others-hc made an article that pco-
pie wanted, and he advertised it in
the newspapers until he convinced
people that they wanted it. Every
year for twenty years he put up an
entire block of factory buildings to
meet the demand created by the
newspaper advertising. The cxpe-
ricncc of Mr. Babbitt is virtually
that of every other successful bust
ness man.
Now, then, 90 over the list of the
retail merchants in your city. Make
a list of those who are successful
and of those who are just drifting
along.
In which list are you?
Does the successful list contain
the men who advertise
You say it costs too much to ad-
vcrtisc, hence you have got to drift
along.
Go to the biggest advertiscs in
your city. Ask him how large his
first ad was and what his returns
were.
Nine chances out Of ten he will
tell you it was small ad and the
returns were not appreciated.
His second ad was a better one,
and his third was even better than
that. He could tell the improve
mcnt 10y the returns.
Yours is a small business, but you
must have something that people
want.
You are in a better position than
the old-timc advertiser. He had "a
write his own ads.
Let us give you a corner in our
paper, where you can advertise one
real bargain every day. Watch the
result.
The profits from that investment
will 90 far towards paying for more
prctentious advertising.
People will look for that daily bar
gain, and they will get into the habit
of coming into your store.
When people get into the habit Of
coming, they get into the habit OF
buying as well.
t is never to late to learn how to
advertise.
Begin in a small way right now.

1t has been suggested that the
next Legislature create board to
whom may be referred all applica-
tons for pardoning convicts, and we
think the suggestion good one. y
number OF States have such a board
and the plan works well. Such a
board in this State would relieve our
Governor of a great deal of work
and a big responsibility. The Board
Of Directors Of the State Pcnitcn-
tary could no doubt perform the du-
ties at their regular stated meetings
without any extra cost to the tax
paycrs.-Andcrson Intclligcnccr.
1t was published carly last week
that the government department of
agriculture would not give out any
other crop estimates until December.
In the face of that it published on
Friday statement that the Texas
hurricane had reduced the crop G8,-
600 bales. The department appears
to be on the side Of the bears and
wiling to do its best TO put down
prices OF cotton for the benefit of
its manufacturers, who are mostly
republicans in financial matters.
Under an act Of the last Lcgisla-
turc South Carolina has become her
own underwriters All the public
buildings, including the four colleges
at Glenn son, Rock Hill, Columbia and
Charleston, will be insured by the
State. An assessment will be paid
by these institutions and by the
State for the State House until the
amount so paid in reaches 5000 900.
In the meantime if there is a fire the
loss will fall directly upon the tax
payers.
Mr.. w. b. Love, pcntcnliary d-
rector, says that convicts, hired
heretofore at Sc per month, are in
great demand now at &S to SO for
farm labor. He thinks all up to TO-
year convcts will he put on chain
gangs to work roads, as present con
tracts expire.
The old story Of the $l5 clelA VINO

pointed with new moral: "Why
