INFLUENCE OF ADVERTISING.
Effect ON Public Good or Bad Ac.
cOrdinQ to Ad.

The influence of advertising has
penetrated into every stratum of
life. 1t is hardly conceivable that
that there is home in the United
States where people read the English
language that has not been affected
by advertising in some manner or
other.
The effect upon the public mind is
educational and elevating and does
much for the education of classes
who cannot afford books.
In reading advertisements one
reads some of the best worded
phrases and most forceful arguments
that can be found. The direct infu-
ence advertisements bring upon the
reading public is good or badaccord-
ing to the ad. The truth is the most
essential requisite and has its effects
accordingly.-The american Press.

Death of q Young Lady.

DIED-At her home near Leo,
Thursday, June 2, 1910, Lillian,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs ] ] Eaddy.
Lillian was bright and lovable girl
of sixteen short years. Her death
has cast a gloom over this entire
community. She was known only to
be loved by all. IT'S sad indeed to
think of such one being cut down
in the very bloom of young woman
hood. But then we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who
ruleth over all and knoweth best.
To the bereaved ones we extend
our heartfelt sympathy.

The following letter has been
handed us with the request that we
publish same:
Yours is among the few counties
that have not yet applied for a Far
mers' Institute to be held APme time
this summer. l am sure that the
farmers of your county would like
to have one but, on the principle Of
what is everybody's business is not
attended to, no one has applied. AS
it will be necessary for me to know
all the points at which Institutes are
to be held before | can arrange a
date for any, l am writing to ask
if you will be good enough to take
up the matter with some of the pre-
gressive farmers of your county and
learn from them if such is desired.
If wanted, | can hold two inst
tutes in your county. If possible, it
is preferred to hold these in the ru-
raj districts and not in the county
seat or the towns. If two are held
it will be we'll to distribute them
we'll over the county.
Trusting to hear from you at an
early date, remain,
Yours very truly,

HECTED--PERSONAL NOTES.

, Lake Ity, June 7:-Messrs j w
McCutchen, H N Merritt and w E
Severance were among the visitors
from this place to Kingstree Mon
day.
Nessrs T E Anderson and David
Gasxins were in Charleston the early
par of the week.
Mr. H G Askins has a plum tree
tina, is worth going a distance to
see. To say that it is literally loaded
with fruit is only to state the bare
truth. Many Of the branches resem-
BILE nothing else so much as huge
bunches of grapes, the plums form
ing such dense masses that they
bow the limbs like pendants.
Mr. and Mrs A M Jordan were in
Charleston Monday last.
The Rosenfeld Furniture Co of
Florence has secured the McElveen
building, lately occupied by Messrs
RtFTaylor & Co, and is now open
ing up stock of furniture and
stoves.
4 The rain Sunday night seemed to
have been general throughout this
entire section. In quantity of water
spilled it ranks among the good
rains and in the display of electrici-
ty it was phenomenal. Mr. ] G Lif-
rage of Salters says he never saw
anything to equal it, and it is very
doubtful if any one else ever wit,
messed such a display. Hour after
hour one flash succeeded another as
one beat of the pendulum follows
another; and the grand and awful
illumination of the heavens formed 8
picture with which there is nothing
to compare. Words can convey but
little idea of it. Seen, however, il
will hardly be forgotten.
A lot of land in Lake City was
sold last Tuesday morning at the
rate of very nearly fifteen thousand
dollars an acre. Further, this LOT
has no improvements on it, is not
within fifty feet of any street, road
or other public place, and its owner
could make practically no use of it
This may sound like fairy tale, but
it is nothing of the kind. 1t is sim
ply the bare statement of an actua
fact.

The New Methodist Church.
Through the courtesy of the build
ing committee we have seen the
plans of the new Methodist church.
The contract is now being advertised
to let and the building when COM
pleted and equipped with modern
furniture will cost SIS, 900 or $16,-
900.
Judging from the sketches we
have seen of the proposed building
the new church when completed will
be magnificent structure, massive
in design and ornate in architectural
beauty. 1t is expected that work
will be begun on the building within
the next 60 days, the subscriptions
already pledged being enough to
warrant the building committee in
going ahead with their plans.
When the Methodists dedicate
their new house of worship it will
not be long before the other denom-
nations will erect new church build
ings and our town will no longer
bear the reproach of indifference in
providing churches commensurate
with the material prosperity visible
on every hand.

Revs w L Waite and j R Boney
spent Monday in Florence.
Intendant Blackwell was in Flor.
ence last Saturday on business.
WI Bass, Esq, was in Charleston
Monday on business in the United

Mr. A H Williams, Jr, is at home
from the State University.
We understand that Superintend-
ent Seawell has been reelected for
the next year, and that the follow
ing teachers have also been re-elect-
ed, to wit: Misses Amber Wilks, Ber-
tina Morris and Melville Gibson.
Some days ago an article appear
ed in the daily papers giving the
names of towns in the State which
own fire equipment worth one thou
sand dollars or more. The name of
Lake City did not appear in the list.
We do not know the cause of the
omission, nor upon whom to lay the
blame. However, the blame lies
somewhere, for this town should
have been mentioned and not at the
bottom, either. We have a new fire
engine which alone cost more than
one thousand dollars spot cash. Be-
sides this we have hooks, ladders, a
new engine house, fire bel, fire wells
and concrete tanks. And our equip
ment has been proven more than
once and on each occasion demon
strated its efficiency. In proportion
to size no town in this country is
better fixed for fighting fire. 1t
may be that the modest town coun-
Gil failed to make the report asked
ed for. or the fault may belong to
some one elsewhere. Until last year
Lake City did not receive credit for
her true position as a tobacco mar
ket. In the Year Book" issued by
the department of industries and ag.
riculture, this town was barely men
toned as a tobacco center. When
the truth was forced out, it was
seen that this market is exceeded by
only one in pounds and by none in
the amount of money paid out. The
writer has not seen the last issue of
the Year Book" and hence does
not know whether the commissioner
has at last gotten awake to the
truth. This is mentioned to illus
trate the consideration that some are
unwilling to accord us. In the mat
ter of fire equipment statistics there
may have been some more suppress
sion of facts. WLB
