The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1909-01-07
Why DO Men Advertise?

The man who conducts his bust.
ness on the theory that it doesn'i
pay and he can't afford to advertise
sets up his judgment in opposition
to that of all the best business men
in theIworld. Says an experienced ad-
vertising authority: with a few
years experience in conducting a
small business on few thousands OF
capitals, he assumes to know more
than thousands whose hourly trans
actions aggregate more than his io
in a year, and who have made their
millions by pursuing course that
he says doesn't pay"
If advertising doesn't pay, why is
it that the most successful me-
chants of every town, large or small,
are the heaviest advertiserso If ad-
vertising doesn't pay, who does the
most business? If it does not pay,
business firms in the world spend
millions in that way. Is it because
they want to donate those millions
to the newspaper aud magazine pub
fishers, or because they don't know
rs much about business as the six
for-a-dollar merchant who says mon
ey spent in advertising is thrown
away or donated to the man to whom
it is paid? Such talk is simply
.,ridiculous, and it requires more
.han the average patience to discuss
the proposition of whether adver-
tising pays or not Win that kind OF
man. His complacent self-conceit
is assuming thai he knows more
than the whole world is laughab!e,
and reminds us CT the man who prov
ed that the world doesn't revolve by
placing a pumpkin on a stump and
watching it all night.

ment at noon Tuesday. Several cas-
es, as usual, were continued.
The only murder indictment was
that against John Ayers, colore1,
who struck Mallie Whitmal, Jr., III
the head with base ball bat, the
blow proving fatal. The deed was
committed three years ago. Witness
es were summoned two or three
times to Orangeburg, and once or
twice since the new county was
formed.
Tuesday, Solicitor Hilderbrand mol
pressed the case, and gave as his
reason that the prosecutor was dead
and no witness could ever be found
Ilf, as now seems possible, a mur-
der case can be mol pressed, the pity
is that it was not done long ago
before the witnesses had been put
to so much inconvenience and thl
county to extra expense.
The st. Matthews correspondent
Of The News and Courier, from
whose letter we take the above, says
the Solicitor is a. fearful prosecuting
officer, and there is no reflection
upon him any more than upon the
Bench and the lawyers IN general,
for the frequent eontinuances III
cases.
A few minor cases were dis
posed of, as follows: The State vs..
Richard Hart. disposing of crop
under lien. Guilty, 500 or six
months.
Jake Barton, colored, housebreak-
ing. Pleaded guilty; two years on
chaingang.
Sam Zimmerman, colored. assault
and battery with intent to kill.
Not guilty.
