Vessel Was Run bya Charleston and

"The very last vessel to bring a car
90 of African slaves into this country
landed on the coast of Georgia, in
1850. said Col, William Youngblood,
of Atlanta, says The Washington Post.

Der Of the celebrated Lamar family.
They brought over between. 500 and
500 negroes from the shores OF Africa
and proceeded up the Savannah river
to Augusta, before attempting to get
rid of the slaves. There was lively
bidding for the blacks by the planters
of Georgia and South Carolina, and
they sold like hot cakes at prices
ranging from $500 to $500. Gen. Dear

county. South Carolina, bought twen-

man, the mother of the present Uuited
States senator from that state, who
also lived in Edgefield county. 1t
seems that Mrs, Tillman had been a
purchaser at the sale of Corrie and
Lamar, and I have a distinct recollec-
ton of being shown u of the young
Senegambians that she had bought
of them. He was as black as mid
night, and when spoken to could only
grin and gesticulate, for he had not
learned q word of English"

Newspaper Advertising.
Blacksburg Cbronicle.

Let US all read following notes from
".Newspaperdom" and see if we can't
say Amen to every sentence. You cal
only make known your goods ny COM
ing before the people, and b best way
to do this is by advertising. 10 em-
phasiZe and prove this, we would ak
YOU 20 read any paper or magazine
and the first and last thing you will
see is an advertisement, So read the
following:
Newspaper advertising is, to-day,
the trade-wiud of business prosperity.
It is the power behind the throne ;
the power which sells goods to the
public and II power which no sane
business man disputes. 1t is TO bust
ness the steam or electric power that
makes the ''wh-els 20 round"
Handsome store, fine goods and gentle
manly clerks go along way toward
making business prosperity, but it's
advertising that moves goods rapidly
and satisfactorily it is advertising
that men and women have learned to
Idepepd upon TO guide them to the best
for their mouey it is advertising mat
women read, not as a failing" but for
the purpose of know ing where some
thing thsy want may be obtained at
the best fl ure.
Advertising ia the fundamental
principle Of suceess. Advertising Is
the cheapest and most direct guider 10
business success. 1t has been demon
strated time and time again that news
paper advertising is an essential TO sue
cess as the very mOrey with when q
business is founded.
In every city in America there are
evidences where newspaper publicity
has built up great store trades; has,
lifted failing business ventures 10 a
foundation OF lasting prosperity; has
revolutioniZed existing conditions and
made fortunes for those who use 1t as
necessity in their business.
1t is not necessary 10 do business IN
a large city 10 order TO become a sue
cessful newspaper advertise I. You
NAV never I've an advertiser OF me
Yanamaker type, but you can adver-
ii. in a way that will bring 10 an in
creased trade. I have in mind an ad-
verti-er in a city, of less than ten thous
and people. He put up an elegant
store put in modern guods for oottl
men and women he had for sale about
everything. i,
Then he began 10 advertise in the
local papprin an intelligen ut way. He
finally convinced the shopper that he
had The right sort of goods, that pto-
pie did not have to go fifty miles away
to buy seasonable dry goods, furnish
Iings, ETC.. as they bad done for years
Lefore. He advertised in the weekly
papers within a radius OF twenty miles.
Shoppers came by trolly, by train and
by wagon. His business p%rospered, and
today be Is doing a trade of over $751;
COO per year. :,
Some of the people in this town call
him a wonderful business man. He is,
but he il more than that {; be is q man
with the ccnvictis n Of his ideas.
Newspaper advertising IS the miss
Ling link be, ween failure and success.
Advertising, "a ! said before, is the
force th at makes "the wheels 70
'round." 1t is the power that insti-
gates sue ce.s-lhe power that a sensi-
Bile busfnts IS man is * ady to buy from
the newspaper.
