One OF the most attractive advertise
ments that has appeared N this paper
for some time is that of r. F. Epper-
son. Pinewood, S. c., advertising the
Union Made carharrt'S of Hamilton
Carhartt, Manufacturer, which IS the
strongest line of its kind manufactured
in the United States.

vertising wagon going through the

ter. The value of advertising IS thor
oughly appreciated by Jenkinson. 1t IS
what built him from an humble begin
ming to one of the finest department
merchants in the State.
The matter OF the Winthrop scholar
ship examination which was mentioned

johnson president OF the college, and

10 drive him with an open bride. but
Mr.. King drove off anyway. and the
horse ran away and came near killing
him.
O'Donneil & Co., OF Sumter. are in
this issue with their fall announcement,
to which we direct the attention OF our
readers This establishment is one OF
the largest department stores in the
State, and thoroughly known TO our
readers. The head, Mr.. Neil O'Donnell,
is fully identified with every progress
sive move in his city and with all move
ments looking TO the advancement OF
the interests OF the farmers generally.
Through a careless reading OF the
-, lost
week that Hon. John l. McLaurin had
made for him in Manning a saddle
costing SlS.000 when it should have
read $500. Intelligent readers, of
course, discovered the error. but the
News and Courier failed to do so. and
has made at least two efforts to impress
its ignorance or wantoness upon its
readers. The saddle is a beauty and
one like il in Charleston could not be
purchased for twice $500.
There is complaint OF the seed cotton
law being violated in this county and
we have been requested to direct the
attention Of the county authorities tc
it. There is a law upon the statute book
requiring q license to buy seed cotton.
and those engaged in the traffic with
out license are liable to indictment.
The county supervisor will have issued
warrant against any person he can
find out that is violating the law, and
we think, that instead of making com
plant TO Us, the complaint and infor-
nation should be given to the supervi-
sor so that he can take action. The
great trouble with these matters is that
people are prone to complain and
blame the officers, but when they are
called upon TO aid in the enforcement OF
law they either know nothing or refuse
TO come out in the open.
