New Water Mains.

Work was started yesterday laying
the new water mains which are to re-
place h old ones now in use. In a
petition to council "A short time ago

needed, and received permission to do
so. A large main will be laid from
the Subway to Shads' crossing, and
an S-inch pipe from the crossing to
Fourth street in place of the 4inch

WRITTEN BIT
WILLIAM C.. FREEMAN.

THE NEW D OF
THINGS IN ADVERTISING
was recently emphasized in an
announcement made over the
name of GlMBEL BROS.,1
New York, advertising a sale
of carpets.
The ordinary procedure in
the average store would be to
announce an extraordinary,
unusual and tremendous sale
of carpets at a great sacrifice
of prices.
Ii was not so in this an
louncement of Gimbel Bros.
They secured the surplus stock
of the famous Whittall Wilton
carpets at a figure which en-
abled them to sell these car
pets at a great reduction in
price, and THEY EX-I
planned in their advertise
ments just WHY THEY
WERE ABLE TO BUY AT
THIS FIGURE.
1t seems that the manu-
facturerS of these carpets
carry a large stock in what
they call their 'cut order de-
partment." This means that
hundreds of stores throughout
the country carry only sample
lengths of these carpets, while
the mill carries the stock.
When the order is taken
from the customer it is for
warded to the mill, and the ex-
act quantity desired comes
back. SO each year there is a
surplus stock left in the mill,
which is sold out at one time
to one house at a special price.
Gimhel Brothers explained
this in detail in their adver-
tiSementS, and this action on
their part was so unusual that
it not only brought them IN
MEDIATE AND CRAFTY
ING RESPONSE FROM THE
PUBLIC, but a letter from
the manufacturer, as follows:
I want TO thank you for the
CLEAN. FAIR AND SATISFACTORY
WAY that you have placed the mat
ter before the public. Ordinarily, the
carpet department. dispOsing OF
dropped stock for some reason or 9TH
er. hesitated TO come out with a fair
statement. such as you have done,
and really believe tina the way YOU
have handled the matter will not only
prevent friction and misunderstood
ing between yourselves and other
dealers. but will also increase your
sales. for THE PEOPLE KNOW EX-
ACTLY THE REASONS the goods
are being sold at reduced prices.

CORN GROWER
FAILS TO MAKE RECORD
Florence County Boy Produced It's
Bushels of Corn on One Acre.

Jerry Moore failed to 'Fcome back"
He is the champion corn grower of
the world, a native of Winona, in
Florence county, and last year pro-
duced 22S bushels and three pecks of
corn on one acre of land, or 1888
pounds.
This year, according to a report fl
Ell with the State department by the
young corn grower, VINO is contes-
tant the State corn contest, produc-
ed 1854 pounds of corn, or about
5000 pounds less than last year. His
yield this year will average about ITS
bushels. The various percentages will
not be announced until later in the
year. The report of his yield has been
filed with the United States farm DEM
onstration workers and will very like
ly be officially announced from Wash
ington during the present month.
The decreased yield this year was
caused by the long drought, and the
young farmer did not expect to equal
his record of last yea1.
Jerry Moore has given South Caro-
lima more publicity of the kind that
pays than any other citizen. Pracu-:
cally every paper and magazine in the
county has carried a story of how he
produced more corn On one acre than
any other American.
