DEALING IN STOCKS.
Know What You Are Buying Before
Investing Your Money.

Know What You Are Buying Before
Investing Your Money.
We hear of fortunes quickly made
In Wall street. of miners who have
accumulated enormous wealth by a
lucky strike. of inventions that have
made inventors rich. But how many
OF these Instances are there? Just q
few. while countless thousands and
hundreds of thousands have lost every
thing In unsuccessful ventures.
The prosperous. successful man or
woman is the n who buys with
knowledge Of what he or she is buy
ing. whether it be a piece of beef, a
dozen OF eggs, a horse, a house or
stocks and bonds.
Money has heen made in Wall street
and will continue to be made. Those
who buy stocks when they sell low and
sell them when they advance must
make money. The operation is no DIFF.
ferent from buying a house or a farm
at a bargain and selling it at a profit.
But n should exercise just as much
care in n transaction as in the other.
Have nothing to do with those who
offer glittering opportunities to get
rich quickly. This will save your
money. 1t may sound very nice to
say that n owns a thousand shares
of a gold, silver or copper mine with
a par value of $4,000 and that cost
the holder only $50 or 500. But what
use is such q certificate unless it has
real value? Better put the $50 or
500 in n share of a dividend pay
ing stock and be satisfied with mod
crate returns and a moderate profit on
any advance the stock may enjoy

What Life Is,

Nothing is of real value in the world
except people. Never hurt a person by
a wrong thought or by word or by act.
Never hurt each other. Then go on
a big discovering expedition and find
each other. Never say, '"That person
has nothing in him." for that only
means that you haven't found it yet.
Then. last of all. never think you are
the only person. You are just a part
of each other" You are not some
body and the rest of us everybody
else. We are each other. Life is each
bitterness. not ACCOMPLISHMENTS,

The Burglars Talisman.

Coal is used for other than heating
purposes. For centuries Il piece of
coal carried on the person has been
held to bring good luck. This belief
still survives among burglars. They
invariably carry a small piece of coal
expedition. The more successful they
are and the greater their good luck in
avoiding capture the more highly do
they prize their talisman. This belief
in the virtues of coal is accounted for
in the old superstition. traceable to sun
worship. of regarding any object asso-
c1ated with fire as an emblem Of the
solar rays and a preServative against
evil spirits.-London Chronicle.

ARE MICROBES IN SCALP?
1t Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness

@ Professor Unna of Hamburg,G Germany
and Or ~Sabourand, the leading French
dermatolog,st, discovered that a microbe
causes badness. Their theory has time
and again been amply verified through
research experiments carried on under
the observation of eminent scientists.
This microbe lodges in the sebum,
Which is the natural hair oil, and when
permitted TO flourish it destroys the
hair follicles and in time the pores en-
tirely close and the scalp gradually
K on a shiny appearance. When
this happens there is no hope of the
growth of hair being revived.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe. remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in The scalp and around the
hair roots, tighten and revitalize the

Hundred Bushels Of Potatoes on
Acre and . Quarter.
Nj. G. a. Brown. an enterprising
Sumter county farmer who lives sew
eral miles west Of the city. was in
town Saturday morning with some of
the best potatoes seen here this fall.
He stated that he had secured his
sprouts from Virginia last spring and
did not know what variety Of yam
the potato belonged to.
On one bunch grown from the sprout
there were eight nice sized potatoes
while from a bunch grown from vine
OF the same sprout there were eleven
potatoes OF nice size for table use.
Besides these two punches Of potatoes
Mr.. Brown had a number Of larger
sized potatoes, all Of which were
quite smooth. differing from most
large potatoes which when extra large
usually split open.
Mr.. Brown reports having raised
somewhere between five and six
hundred bushels Of potatoes on be-
tween an acre and a-quarter and an
acre and a-half this year. this being
the best potato crop he has ever
made. He states that his corn crop
was also unusually large. averaging
about 4b bushels to the acre on his
place. He reports having plenty OF
corn. potatoes and pork for the win
ter. and has no fear OF lack OF plenty
to live on.

.PllI 1ElenEas' CONVENTION.
ANNUAL MEETING no BE HELD
IN COLUMBIA NEXT MARCH.
Several Matters OF importance to As.
ISOLATION Considered at Meeting OF
Executive Committee.

Columbia, Nov. AT a very i'm
portant meeting Of the executive
committee OF the South Carolina State
Teachers association held yesterday
afternoon at the residence Of L. T.
Baker 1t was decided to hold the next
meeting In Columbia March l3, IA. Is.
1913. 1t was not until after careful
and deliberate consideration that the
place OF meeting was decided, for
Spartanburg sent very urgent invi-
tation signed by the board of trade
and the schools and colleges but it was
decided that Columbia is more CEN
trally located and would enable more
teachers to attend than any other
city.
The following members Of the COM
mittee were present yesterday: r. C.
Burts, president; L. T. Baker; secre-
tary; c. V. Neuffer. treasurer; w. l..
Brooker. f. S. Dreher and A. ].
Thackston could not be at the meet
Ing. The committee discussed many
points Of interest and formulated
plans for making the next meeting
a great success in every way.
The committee discussed q propo-
sition made by a representative Of
the National Corn exposition to hold
the teachers meeting at the same
time as the exposition but it was not
thought wise to attempt to hold 1t
then. The time OF meeting has usual
ly been the last week in March but
on account Of the meeting Of the
State Interdenominational Sunday
School convention March 26. the date
was changed.
The slogan Fifteen Hundred Mem
bers 1913" was unanimously adopted
and an attempt will be made to reach
and interest every teacher in the
State. The teachers will be enrolled
by counties and the county that has
present or enrolled the largest per-
| centage Of its teachers will be award
ed the banner offered. The names
OF all members will be published in
| the proceedings by counties. The Of
hcers OF the association will work
through the county and city super
intendents and through the county
organizations.
While the programme is left largely
to the president. some points we're dis
cussed yesterday. At least one prom
inent speaker will be invited to make
the leading address during the meet
Ing. but 1t was the opinion Of the
committee that the meetings should
be made as practical as possible 80
that the association would really help
the teachers in their work when they
go back home. More time will be
given this year to the business meet
ing.
The local members Of the executive
committee were appointed to arrange
for the entertainment Of the associa-
ton. With the addition Of two splen-
did new hotels. Columbia will be bet
ter prepared than ever before to take
care Of the association.
