was established by Mr. Geo S
Hacker in the year 1912, has
been bought by the Hacker Man

company is composed of some
of Charleston's best known and
most progressive business men,
and we have no doubt that the
record established by the for
mer firm for fair dealing and
the manufacture of honest goods
will be maintained by the new
concern. The name of Geo S
Hacker & Son has for almost
three.quarters of a century been
a synonym for the best in door,

and confidence of the people OF
this community.

in exploiting the productiveness
of our native soil and its gen.

ming, but the statements pub.
lished are so remarkable that
they have attracted considerable
attention and various newspapers
throughout the State have copied
the articles and commented on
them. All along We have main
tanned that our people are too
modest in not letting the world know
what they have accomplished and
especially is this the case with the
farmers. They attend strictly to
their own business and let the
world wag on as it pleases. But
that is not a progressive policy,

A BUSINESS PARABLE.
Every Delinquent Subscriber Should
Read II and Apply the Moral.

Once a farmer had 1900 bush
els of wheat, which he sold, not
to a grain merchant, but 1,SO0
different dealers, a bushel each.
A few of them paid in cash, but
far the greater number said it
was not convenient then; they
would pay later. A few months
passed, and the mans bank
account ran low. "How is this?"
he said. "My 1,S00 bushels of
grain should have kept me in
afluence until another crop is
raised, but I have parted with
the grain and have instead only
a vast number of accounts, so
small and scattered that / can
not get around and collect fast
en- ugh to pay expenses. So
he posted up public notice and
asked all those who owed him
to pay quickly. But few came.
The rest said "Mine is only a
small matter, and | will pay
some of these days." forgetting
that, though each account was
very small, when all were put
together they meant a large sum
to the man. Things went on
thus. The man got to feeling
so bad that he fell out of bed
and awoke, and running to his
granary, found his 1900 bushels
of wheat still safe there. Mo-
ral.--The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper
and said: "Here, sir, is the pay
for your paper, and when next
years subscription is due you
can depend on me to pay
promptly. l stood in the po'
sition of an editor last night,
and | know how he feels to have
ones honestly earned money
scattered all over the country
| in small amounts"
