A TRUE PROHIBITION TOWN.

The Bennettsville Advocate is having
much to say about Marlboro being a
Prohibition county in connection with
the possible removal of the Clinton Col
lege. The Advocate is respectfully in
formed that forhalf a century the town
of Clinton has been strictly addicted to
Prohibition.
We risk the assertion that in no town
of its size anywhere in this country has
less whiskey been sold than in Clinton,
South Carolina, and the people of no
town on earth to-day are more zealously
and actively united against the whiskey
traffic.
While there is a ~dispensary in Lau-
rens, the Bennettsville Advocate is re-
minded that the town of Laurens is
just about as far from Clinton as the
town of Cheraw, where a. dispensary
fiourishes, is from the town of Ben
nettsville. Thus Bennettsville has no
advantage whatever in this regard over
Clinton and the truth is that Prohibit
ton is Clinton's long suit.
Prohibition in Clinton prohibits the
sale, taking, touching, handling and
thinking about it. There are no such
words as "whiskey," blind tiger"
"wee nippy," "dram," ~"toddy,"
"snifter," "mint-julep," SHERRY cob
bier, "egg nog, "eye opener, might
cap" "booze," "cock-tail," "jambo-
ree," Gag" "razee," Skate" 'high
ball." 'low-ball," "gin ricksey," ETC.,
in the Clinton language.

THE NEwBERRY ELECTION.

Two or three months ago THE ApvER-
TIsER declared that the result of the
whiskey electionin Newberry would have
especial significance because it was the
home of the Hon. Cole l.. Blease and the
Hon. H. H. Evans. MIR. Blease is by
far the most loyal champion of the Dis
pensary in South Carolina or in the
United States. Even the father of the
Dispensary is sometimes respondent
about it, but the ~dispensary faith and
courage of Mr.. Blease has v been
known TO wane.
Mr.. Evans is the head of the Dispen-
sary business in the State, and both he
and MI. Blease are exceedingly popu-
lar citizens of Newberry. Their per-
sonal influence would of course amount
to a great deal in any Newberry cleo
ton, especially that of Mr.. Blease, who
is the Senator from the county, he hav-
ing been elected to that Office by a
large majority last year.
Nevertheless, the people of New
berry voted the d~ispensaries out of ex-
istence by more than two to one. Less
than one-third of the total vote of the
county was polled, and this would seem
to indicate that the people were not es-
pecially Interested in the matter. On
the other hand, it is still more signifi-
cant that Mr.. Blease, Mr.. Evans and
other ~dispensary advocates were unable
tc muster to the polls as many as 400
voters in defense of their institution.
Moreover, the election is a direct de-
feat for Senator Tillman, who it will be
remembered, began his campaign this
year in defense of the dispensary by
writing an able letter and pathetic APP
peal to Supervisor Higgins of Newberry
county.
1t appears that the Newberry voters,
regardless of Messrs. Blease, Tillman
and Evans were determined to drive
out the grog shops. These three are
the principal D%ispensary defenders.
The Hon. A. G.. Jones has put them to
rout in Newberry.

Our Golden "cola waves."

We Americans are always talking
about our mountains Of gold and coal
and iron, OF our fat fields of corr and
wheat, but few Of US ever realize that
we have In u climate a great advan-
tase over all other nations. In the
cold wave which In summer and win.
ter 80 often sweeps across the land
and sends the thermometer tumblins
30 degrees IN almost as many minutes
we have q constant, a new diminish
Ing asset Of priceless value. The wav
acts as a tonic; but, unlike any tonic
made by man. it carries no reaction.
No other land has cold waves like ours.
TO the cold dry air Of this periodic
cold wave, which brings extraordinary
changes Of temperature, we owe much
OF the keen alert mind, the in~cessant,
unremitting energy OF our American
race.-Century.

PULL FOR THE COLLEGE.

The esteemed Clinton Chronicle takes
to heart too much the protest signed by
come 60 leading citizens of Clinton re-
pudiating its course with regard to
the Presbyterian College matter. The
signers of the paper declare that they
do not endorse the Chronicles reflec-
ton upon the action of the Trustees of
the College.
The Chronicle proceeds to print an
editorial weep" of four or five columns
divided into two parts, one of which is
a personal wall signed by the editor de-
claring that the paper tends to destroy
the usefulness of the Chronicle, and
that it has flung him into disgrace.
Never was a more lugubrious book of
lamentations printed in a single issue
of d newspaper. The Chronicle should
dry it's eyes and come again. We think
that it was too violent in it's criticisms
of the College Trustees, and it never
pays to be rantankerous about anything.
We have no idea that the 60 signers of
the paper intended to cast the Chroni-
Gle into outer darkness, and it is max
ing a spectacle of itself by attaching
so much Importance to the incident.
Laugh and the world laughs with you;
Weep and you weep alone"
Meanwhile, the people of Clinton
should "get together" and subscribe
and pay a lot of money for the Presby-
erian College if they wish to retain it.
Three men in Bennettsville have sub
scribed $5,0 900 each on condition that
the college be moved to that town.
There are men in Clinton fully as able
to subscribe SIS, 900 as any one of these.
We suspect that Clinton, which is an
exceedingly prosperous town, has a man
or two who could subscribe three or
four times as much as any Benefits
vile man.
! Three years ago $40, 600 was sub
scribed in Laurens to bring a college
here. While Laurens has a larger popu-
lation, Clinton could with less sacrifice
subscribe a much larger sum, because
Clinton has richer men, perhaps, than
this town. In all movements of this
kind the bulk of the money must be
paid by the very rich men. The motive
to setain a college already established
In a town should be very much stronger

The Lanford Reunion.

The annual reunion of the Lanford
family was held last Wednesday at An
tioch Church, Spartanburg county. The
Lanford family is one of the oldest and
most Prominent as we'll as one of the
largest in this and Spartanburg counties.
At Wednesdays reunion appropriate
and highly entertaining addresses were
made by Congressman j. T. johnson
and Col. j. II. Wharton, chairman of
the State Railroad Commission.

monument or memorial tablet will pro-
badly be placed at Antioch and at the
next reunion the programme of the oc-
casion will include unwilling ceremo-

Nearly all u vegetables and herbs
appear originally to have passed
through some preliminary stage In the

of tho Kitchen. The fact Is not so
strange as 1t might at first sight ap-
pear, and Its results have certainly
been to the general advantage of man

old h~erbalist's prescriptions were OF n
kind neither to kill nor cure, his inyes.
legations OF the specific qualities of
plants were often useful. The a~nclents
seem to nave regarded sage as an herb

and the many traditions concerning 1t
refer almost entirely to this aspect of
the plant. "Why should q man die
who has snge In his garden2" was n
of the maxims Of the famous school of
health Mt Salerno. The belief In Its viz
tues survived through the middle ages
and was handed down with unimpaired
vitality to quite modern times. The
writer's of the sixteenth and scvcn-
teenth centuries were full OF It's praises,
and there was hardly an ailmcnt Of
mind or body for which sage was not
pronounced a cure or an alienation.
Thence sprung the idea that as 1t was
thus generally wholesome and recon-
mended by the faculty tho housewife
might prudently admit n dried winter
supply to her storeroom. And so this

proverb. But the cooks soon began to
take broader views. They pronounced
sage to be equally savory and salu-

But his Is advancing matters. Even
the best Of things catable have Ind to

GOOD Copy a be known only the
Goodsitis actually known to SELL
Mr.. Advertiser!
Don't care how "Bright," how
Catchy" nor how Attractive" the
copy is, or is not.
What we want to know is how much
Goods will it Sell, per dollar of cost,
through Retailers, or by Mail?
Selling-Power is the only quality we
recognize as Good, in Advertising.
No mere Excepting the Name before
the People" will satisfy our standards.
No mere 'Trade Stimulus" nor "Gen-
eral Influence on Sales" will we recog-
nize as real Advertising worth what it
costs.
No evasion of the Grand Issue Sales
manship-is permitted nor attempted
in the Lord & Thomas Advertising
Agency.
The Ad-smith whose copy won't ac-
tually and positively Sell Goods enough
to pay for the Space it fills, with a
handsome profit on it to the Man who
pays the Bills, is working for some
other Agency.
But chow can we know copy which
will positively sell goods before it is
published at the Advertisers ex-
pense?"-you ask.
Well, this is how we know it, Mr..
Advertiser!
About one-fourth of the Advertising
we place annually is Mail Order Adver-
tising, for about Sc different clients.
Every single insertion of each Mail
Order Advertisement haa been keyed
separately, in each publication. We
thus know precisely how much each In
quiry for goods Costs, from each differ
ent piece of Copy, in each Medium.
This information we record accurately
in u u "Record of Results"
Then, we compare the Cost of Selling
each line of Mail Order goods through
the different kinds of copy used, and
we find a wonderful consistency in the
figures.
A kind of Copy which produces In
%aniries at low Cost for n proposition,
we find produces Inquiries for another
entirely different proposition in the
same ratio of low cost.
And the kind of Copy which Costs
three times as much per Inquiry, in the
same publication, for n proposition
will, we. find, cost practically in the
same high ratio on all other propositions.

The compilation of this data, cover
ing a period of years, on a large variety
of Mail Order accounts, has given us a
reliable means of knowing just
what kind of copy Sells the most
goods for a given investment in space.
1t also affords us a reliable index to
the relative Earning-Power of different
publications, using the same kind of
Copy, at the same period of the year.
But, Lord & Thomas investigation
through this "Record of Results" has
gone farther than testing out Mail Or
der Copy.
Because, when the qualities, in Copy,
that produced consistently large Results
in Mail Order Advertising had been
located and isolated, these same quail
ties were then applied to Copy for Gen
eral Advertising of Goods to be sold
through Retailers.
Our "Record of Results" thus shows
that the something which made a given
kind of Copy sell goods at lowest cost
by mail also made it sell goods at lowest
cost through Retailers.
These qualities were "Reason-Why
and Conviction" saturated into the
Copy, and presented in certain thought
forms that strike the most responsive
chord with average Readers of Adver-
tisements.
The combination Of these qualities,
evolved through u "Record of Re-
Suits" is a formula as exclusive with
Lord & Thomas as the formula of the
famous Liquor Chartreuse is with the
Monks who control it's secret.
This kind of Copy we call Lord &
Thomas acknowledgement"
The relative Selling-Power of each
piece of this copy we can judge in adj
vance, by comparing it with Results
obtained previously through kindred
kind of Copy, used for equivalent Prop
ositions, as registered and compared in
our "Record of Results"
What this "Record of Results"
means to your Advertising can be only
vaguely suggested in this article. But
the subject is fully and clearly covered
in our "Book of Advertising Tests"
which will be published June goth.
Its price is $500 per copy to all but
General Advertisers and Mail Orders
Advertisers.
