WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the importance
OF the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. II they did
1t would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot OF INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out OF businesa.
Whoa 0 Manufacturer adopts a
trade W2rk Ro assumes the entire re-
duct. He takes his business reputa-
ton In his hands-out In the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy
er OF his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out inducements" offer
Ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand-sidestep
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods como back" It's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro-
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's ad-
yertising of pure White Lead as the
best paint material
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of pur-
tty in White Lead Is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address a blow-pipe and instruc-
lions how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing OUTFIT is be-
Ing sent out from the New York
oflce OF the company, Woodbridge

THE MERRY WIDOW GOWN.

Mime. Henry Letellier, who is said
70 be beautiful, made a sensation late
~ in Paris by appearing at a fash
ionable reception In directoire cos
tune. The dress, which was cut
close and clinging, was split on the
right side from the bottom to a point
above the wearer's knees. Consum-
mate art Is necessary for the wearing
Of such gown properly" We should
say 1t were rather question of the
wearer's architecture Not every wo-
man is sculptural.
In the early years OF the nineteenth
century American women of the high
est responsibility wore not only what
were called "chemise dresses" with
only single garment beneath a dress
OF extremely fine texture, but the
skirts of their gowns were of un-
even length. The left side was made
shorter, either by being looped up
or slashed. No pettfcoat was worn
under this open robe. When Miss
Patterson, of Baltimore, married Bon.
aparte it was said that all the clothes
worn by her then might have been
put In pocket. Alice Morse Earl

OF even ministers wives In New Eng.
land were Of fine ergandie or null;
they were scant, so low necked that
they were, indeed @incroyable,' slit
up at one side nearly to the waist.
"a certain sheath slip was worn un-
der this outer acknowledgements
fmmodest attire, it would seem to
us today" Who knows but that in
the constant shiffngs and return OF
fashions slit gowns may yet be seen
here in parlors, and even in the street.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Don't be afraid of fear.

Do things rather than people.
Trust no mans memory-nor your
own.
Generally tie woman in the case is
the case herself.
Don't be afraid that your efforts
will not be appreciated.
Umbrellas are like men; usually
the poorest get left.
A chronic kicker, kicks best when
he kicks the bucket.
Don't be afraid to do your best.
The best is none too good.
Don't be afraid to play the game
honestly. Honesty always wins out.
Don't be afraid to 80 out OF the
way to do good turn for friend.
When . man doesn't get mad over
his politics it's because he happens
to know what he's talking about.
Either people who could live with
in their incomes don't have it, or
those who have it can't live within it.
A man deserves no credit for work
ing when he is hungry. Take the
corn away from hog and he will
root.
Don't be afraid to be polite at all
times and under all circumstances.
1t is no disgrace to be called gem

Tribute to "Daddy" John.

That was a nice tribute to the
faithfulness of Daddy" John Geiger
which MIR. M. w. Brabham paid him
in last Sundays State. He is a charac-
ter which all Methodist preachers
who have served the Bamberg church
remember with love and affection.
He has been sexton of the church
here for twenty-three years, and dur
ing all this time, rain or shine, he has
always been on hand and had the
church open for service. Let sick
ness or anything come, it never at
fected him. He was always there,
and no substitute has ever filled his
place, certainlynot in our recollection.
In addition to his faithfulness, dad.
dy' John has been loyal and faithful
to the pastors and their families, who
will always remember him for his
many acts of kindness during their
residence here. Uncle John is get
ting old now, but he is as faithful as
ever, and his work at the church and
for the pastors seems to be a very
part Of his life. Few churches IN the
State can show such a record for a
sexton. Twenty-three years is a long
time for a church to have the same
sexton.

Court Expenses.

AS the matter Of not having the
July term of court is now being dis
cussed. we thought it might be of in
terest to the tax payers to know what
courts cost this county. It is much
larger item than one imagines, and
when you add the salaries of magis-
trates and their constables, as well as
the salary of the sheriff, it will be
seen that crime costs the county
tremendously, and is a heavy burden
on the tax payers.
The July term of court last year
cost S468. go; the November term
cost 81 ,299.55, and the March term,
just held, cost 81, ,470.70, which shows
that this was the most expensive of
any court yet held. One cause of the
increase in court expenses is that
jurors and witnesses are now being
paid more than formerly.
The total cost of. courts for the
fiscal year, June 80, 1907, to June 30,
1908, is S3,239.15. Of course crime
does not cause all of this expense, as
many civil cases are also tried. But
crime is responsible for more than
half.

In MenOriam.

Just one year ago the spirit Of
death visited home that was dear
to the writer and took from there
one whom we held dear. Though
twelve months have passed and many
changes have taken place, yet we
are wont to think of those who have
lent much to our welfare as children,
and when we think Of those that have
passed over the river it causes us
to think that we too have our places
in this and the next world to fill.
OF the family of Mrs. Lena Hurst
Hanberry. widow of DR.. W. A. Han
berry, who was taken from this
earth year ago, we are found think
ing often in a strain Of sympathy, as
they feel they lost such father, such
a husband, and such grandparent.
Their grief, we hope, will be an in
spiration to the effect to realize that
it is not with us but with Him.
May the loss we feel over his death
cause us to think of the preparation
Of our own departure from this earth,
that we will be ready to join the
happy throng in everlasting song.

Letter to |. C. Price, Bambess, S. c.

Dear Sir: If you could get the ex-
elusive sale Of a sweeter sugar for five
miles round -3aib as sweet as a pound OF
usual sugar, and cost no more you'd
iunp as It, wouldn' you?
There wouldn't be 100 lb ofany other
sugar sold in year m your town; you d
gobble the trade; and it wouldn't hurt
your whole business.
Devoe is like that among paints; 1t Is
twice as sweet as some; it is sweeter
than any; not one exception; one gallon
is two or one-and-a-half or one-and-
three quarters.
Better than that; paint has to be paint
ed: that costs 81 to 81 gallon. A gallon
saved is 81 to 81 saved in labor, besides
the paint. r.,
Even that isn't all. A gallon Devoe
put-on wears as long as two gallons put
on at a cost of 81 to Sd gallon and two
gallons more put-on at 81 to 81 a gallon.
Count all that. The paint that wears
double costs less by 8 gallons of paint
and 3 gallons of painting; that's about
SIS gallon for those superfiuous gal
Ions.
That's "a as 4 good as a d0u6le-sweet

Graded School Building.

Work on the new graded school
building is progressing nicely, and
the corner stone will be laid with ap-
propriate ceremonies some time in
the next few weeks. Ornan Lodge
will have charge of the ceremonies,
and it is hoped to have Grand Master
J. L. Niche, of Darlington, present
if possible. The corner stone from
the burned building will also be plac-
ed in the walls. The new corner
stone will bear the inscription, BAN
berg high school," instead of "Bam-
berg graded school," which is on the
old stone. While the contractor is
rushing the work as much as possible,
it is not likely that the building will
be ready for use this session: The
commencement exercises will take
place the first part of June.
