Can You Tell Us.

If advertising does not pay in all
lines of business, why is it that those
who advertise are generally the ones
who eventually surpass in promi-
nence and financial standing? Why is
it that those who advertise most are
those who make most? Why IS it
that the extensive advertiser is good
natured, jolly fellow, while the man
who knocks advertising is dried-up
irascible person? The day is 'ap-
preaching when a line will be drawn
between the two classes Of business
men, and the advertiser will be patro-
aized by those citizens who believe in
happiness through enconomy and mu-
tual prosperity.

DEATH OF MIR. ENNIS.
Full Particulars Of the Accident
That Caused It.

His friends in Orangeburg were
shocked when they heard of the
death of Capt. I. R. Ennis, who, with
his excellent family, at one time
lived in this city, and where his
remains were laid on last Tuesday
beside loved ones who had preceded
him to the better world. Capt. En-
mis- lost his life by an accident, which
the following special dispatch to the
Augusta Chronicle from Athens, Ga,
near where It occurred fully describes:
"The accident occurred Saturday
evening, and Capt. Ennis was car
ried to Athens from Oglesby, small
station near Elberton, and was hur-
ried to st. Mary's hospital, where he
died after every attention had been
paid him and every effort made to
save his life. He had completed the
first days superiltendency Of work
since his vacation. The bridge gang
was engaged in putting down num-
ber of large piles. AS the work
train came down the track Capt. En-
mis- was standing between the rails.
The accident occurred on the first
day he returned TO work as superin-
tendent of the construction work on
the Seaboard Air Line railway.
"He stepped aside and as there
was nothing but the restle he step
ped off the track and onto the bat
tered end of one of the tremendous
piles which was being driven-the
end of the timber being then fully
thirty feet above the ground of the
rayine below. He then had to stoop
to allow the passage of the train.
When he thought the train had pass
ed him he raised his shoulders and
the last steps of the car struck him
with just enough force to cause him
to lose his balance and fall to the
Jagged rocks near the bottom Of the
ravine. He was fearfully bruised,
cut and gashed, and had several
bones broken"
Capt Ennis was a native of Mich
igan, but had lived in the South for
many years. He was connected with
the Southern Railway for several
years, and during that time lived In
Branchville and Orangeburg. After
leaving the Southern Railway, Capt.
Ennis was connected with railway
in South America. He was an eX-
cellent man, and his untimely death
is regretted by many friends. His
wife and children are now resident of
Asheville, N. C.

How He Settled 1t.

A Chinaman, dying left eleven

will, left one-half of his estate to MS
eldest son, one-fourth to the next,
and one-sixth to the third son. They
wished to divide without killing a
sheep but could not see how to do It,
so they sent for wise lawyer. Send
ing to his own for a sheep he put 1t
with the eleven. Now take your
half-six. said he to the eldest, and
he did so; the second your fourth
three; the Youngest take your sixth
two and begone; and they did so,
when the wise lawyer drove his own
sheep back home. Was the division
according to the law?

MOST ENJOYABLE PICNIC.
Woodmen Of the World Have a Big
Dinner at Pine Grove.


The Woodmen of the World, one of
the best sfraternal organizations in
the United States, had big picnic
at Pine Grove on last Friday. After
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Boland, Maj
or w. L. Glaze was introduced by
Mr.. W. P. shirer, and made an ex-
cellent talk. He referred to the
time when ihe taught school there in
the long ago, and congratulated the
people on the progress they had made
since then. He gave some very inter-
esting statistics OF the Woodmen OF
the World.
Mr.. A. S. Buyck, OF Greenville, fol-
lowed Major Glaze in fine speech,
dwelling on the social side of the
great order. Mr.. Buyck was follow
ed by Robt. Lide, Esq, Past Head
Consul who gave most interesting
account Of his recent trip as dele
gate to the Head Camp, which met in
Rochester, N. Y. Mr.. Lide's talk was
both instructive and interesting. Tue
large crowd gave him closest atten-
ton as it did all Of the speaekrs.
After the speaking, a picnic din
ner was served, which We shall not
attempt to describe. These dinners
must be participaed in, and then one
may able to form some idea of what
they really are. The tables were
loaded with good things, which OF
course were enjoyed by all. A man
who has never attended one Of these
old time picnic dinners has our SYM
pathy.
The day was an ideal one and the
occasion was greatly enjoyed by all
who had the good fortune to be pre-
sent.

COLORED FOLKS PICNIC.
Have Enjoyable Time ut Mount Zion
Church.--Residenc Burned.

Bowman, S. C. July 26, Special
The colored farmers of this section
held a huge picnic at Mount Zion
church near Bowman on last Fri
day. An immense crowd was pres.
ent. The principal speaker was
Prof. Cyrus Campheld, Of Voorhees,
Industrial Institute at Denmark. He
gave his large audience some plain
facts for their consideration which
will doubtless bear much fruit to
their edification. After the speach
of Prof. Camfield, came the dinner
with eatables of every description,
comparing favorably in this line with
the public picnics and other gather
ings all over the country.
The negroes of this section are in
the main law abiding people, many
of whom have accumulated real es-
tate and homes of their own. Some
thing like 1000 acres of land are
owned in this section by them with
comfortable dwellings thereon,
good sock, including horses, mules,
cattle and hogs, and are now being
blessed with the best crops this
section has ever produced. Much
credit is certainly due them for their
financial condition, which Is far su-
perior to that of a few years ago.
DR.. D. E: Connor lost his dwelling
here by fire about l o'clock yester-
day morning saving very little Of the

BELIEVES IN KING COTTON.
Watson Does Not Think There VIII
Be Over IS, 900, 900 Bales.

Commissioner E. ]. Watson, like
many of US, does not believe in the
absurd fraudulent prediction made
by some falir connected with the
National Agricultural Department
that the cotton crop of this year will
reach over 100000 bales. He
thinks the farmers will receive a
splendid price for their cotton if they
maintain their supremacy by market
ing the crop in sane method.
Mr.. Watson is unquestionably one
of the greatest authorities in the
country on the situation, for he not
only takes in South Carolina, nor the
cotton belt, but he goes to Europe
20 ascertain conditions there. He
states that the cotton crop this year
cannot exceed 100000 bales and
with deterioration which may be ex-
pected, it will fall considerably under
that figure.
Mr.. Watson says the condition of
the European spinners is such that
they will have to have cotton and
have it in great quantities. He states
that with such conditions confronting
them they will have to pay the price
demanded by southern farmers. In
addition to this Mr.. Watson says that
crop conditions over the whole belt
are not ideal and that even with pres
ent seasons South Carolina will not
make more than 100000 bales,
which is little more than last sea-
son.
Mr.. Watson says South Carolina
will make almost enough corn to sup
ply the local needs, notwithstanding
the backset the drought gave the ear
ly planted corn. He thinks this is
great thing for a certain belt State,
like South Carolina, to do. All our
farmers have to do is to sit steady
in the boat and market the cotton
crop slowly and it will bring good
prices.

REQUIRES Careful Study.

The Galea Times says "a mer-
chant can try to get along without
advertising and man can wink at a
girl in the dark-but what good does
it do?" There is some sense in that
remark, when one thinks it over care
fully. Honest advertising in the
proper mediums has never yet failed
to pay dividends, according to the
amount invested; but advertising, 10
be successful must be given the same
careful study that merchant give to
the other details Of his business-it
should not be done in a haphazard
way.

Governor Wilson Getting
Too Deeply Immersed
in POIifiCS==MrS. BLafCh
might Learn from Mrs. Pank-
hurst How to Be Real
Democrat"

Governor Wilson, sitting at the feet
of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. learning
the rudiments of politics, is the anus
ing picture Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch
drew for her audience in the Church OF
the Redeemer last night. when she
spoke before the Equality League Of
Self-Supporting Women,
Again during one of ler talks as
chairwoman of the meeting, Mrs.
Blatch took occasion to criticise Cow
ernor Wilson by saying: Governor
Wilson says women have other duties
to attend to beside politics. True. and
I have a poor opinion of anybody who
makes a sole business of politics. And
has not man other duties than politics?
We are in great danger of men who
give their lives to nothing more worthy
than politics, and it seems to me that
your Governor lately is getting a lit
tie too deeply immersed in hat game.
Let someone secure a box for him to
hear Mrs. Pankhurst speak in the New
S 'mphony Auditorium. of this city, and
there would be hope that he could learn
from her how to become a real Demo-
crat." |
