ing the price is the argument Of the
weak, the incompetent, the indiffer-

did not, does not and cannot estab-
lish the reputation of an article and
price cutting has not established the
reputation of the great merchants
and manufacturing concerns of the
world who have assisted in improving
and developing our ideas and stand
ards of business.
There is no question that certain
reductions should be made to elimin-
ate outworn, dead stock. This is
necessary part of every business as it
cleans up the store, keeps the stock
in good shape and makes for general
efficiency Concerns which stand on
quality, which understand the finer
and higher ideas and methods of bus

is the price cutter, because his trade
is superficial, his methods are mega
tive and there is nothing substantial
or fundamental back of his trade and
behind his clientele. The price cut

and sends business to the catalogue

acter commonly known as the Evil
lage cutup," also a certain contingent
which "hangs around" grocery stores,
unhitches customers horses driven to
town to trade, beats the freight train
to the next town and turns the cows
into Uncle Reuben's corntield.
The idea is to make trouble for
those who are interested in develop
ing and improving the town. These
facts are familiar to every individual
who has lived in a small country
township, and it may be we'll to add
here, that every small town as we'll
as the entire world is divided into
two grand divisions; Peace Makers
and Trouble Makers-in other words,
the Builders and the Dynamiters
Until about century ago most
everybody belonged to the Trobule
Makers and it was the business of the
world to train men to chop off heads
and to cry "scab" at every man who
stood and worked for a principle. At
last, after having tried everything
else. we have found that cooperation
is the first step toward progress The
world has had all the opposition, all
the wrangling and all the back-fence
gossip it can stand. What we want
is peace, work, cooperation, to learn
how to economize our work and
energy. -
With these thoughts we approach
the "Mischief Maker" of our modern
business-the Price Cutter. Emer-
son said, "the man who retires to the
forest to make better axe, or bet
ter plow, or a better hat than man
has yet made, will find beaten path
to his door so that his products may
be marketed to the world" Emerson
did not say this, however, of the man
who enters business to cut the price
or the legitimate profit out of mer-
chandise which other men have spent
their lives and energy to produce.
The particular point we make here
is that it requires no experience, no
intelligence, no ability to cut prices.
A great business man has said eve
deal with our friends-our enemies
will not trade with u.s. So, you see,
business is founded largely on conf
dence-and confidence is certainly
not founded on price cutting. It may
require ten years to advertise an ar
ticle, to build up it's market, to es-
tablish it's price, yet this price can
be cut in single moment by someone
or by anyone who has had no exper-
ience and who knows absolutely
nothing about the higher and better
methods of selling merchandise,
The truth is-price cutting tends
toward dissolution, disintegration,
dissatisfaction, dissatisfied customers
and you know the prefix ''dis''
means disease and these things just
mentioned are all forms of disease.
In other words, price cutting brings
about a diseased condition of busi-
ness. If you are in doubt about the
truth of this statement, simply go
into any town where there is price
cutting war in process and you will
gather some valuable information
that will assist you to know what not
to do in conducting a store. s
The salesman who cannot present
facts, merit, quality and who under
stands a certain article of merchan-
disc will not cut the price, and for
this reason this man is salesman
because he sells goods on the basis

There are very few remedies that

remedy for torpid liver, constipation,
biliousness, etc, that has ever been
sold in this city. 1t takes the place
of dangerous calomel and does not
lay you up as dose of calomel often
does. A bottle in the house is as
good as fifty cents in the bank. II

NEWS BUDGET FROM
BENSON & VICINITY.
A SAFE AND SANE THANkSGlV-
NG--OTHER MATTERS OF
LEGAL INTEREST.

Benson, December 3:-Thanksgly-
ing day was observed in the same
safe and sane manner as has been
the custom here in past years. The
proverbial Thanksgiving turkey with
all the concomitant accessories was
enjoyed at dinner in the various
homes in the neighborhood. Some
of the friends were invited by 9TH
ers to dine, which enhanced the So
cial pleasure of the day. Horseback
riding was one of the pastimes OF
the afternoon, which is becoming
quite a "fad" with some OF the
winsome maids and older ones, too.
The social occasions among the low
ers of this pleasure are not so fire.
ouent, however, as has been the case
in days of yore. 1t is rumored,
however. that there is in prospect an
entertainment which will take place
very soon, that is composed of char
acters which will furnish a lot OF
mirth and merriment to all who
may arrive in time to gain admis-
sion into the school building on this
occasion. The time of this entertain
ment will be advertised in the next
issue of The Record,
Miss Maude Chandler, who is
teaching at Carver's Bay, George
town county, spent Thanksgiving
with her parents here.
Miss Lottie McCroy is visiting at
the home of Mr. G Ollie Epps.
Mr. Scott McGill returned from
Wofford fitting school last week.
His eyes have given him some trou-
bic and he had to give up his stud
les.
Now, since the bulk of the farm
ers' cotton is in the hands of others,
the staple is quoted at a living
price. This circumstance is a repe-
tition of each years disposition of
this great crop and still we make no
effective effort to remedy the cause
of this trouble. If cotton is worth
12t cents pound now, it certainly
should have been worth equally as
much or more during the month of
October, when a better grade was
placed on the market. w E S.

Sanctity of the Sabbath.
Editor County Record:

'The Sundays of mans life
Threaded together on Times string,
Make bracelets to adorn the bride
Of the eternal, glorious King
We are commanded to keep the
Sabbath holy, and if we would just
consider for few moments what a
serious matter it is to disobey God
by breaking His laws the day would
be more religiously kept. Sunday
seems favorite day with some to
take the train to go on journey or
to take walks and drives. Now, if
this were only done by those not
members of the church it would not
be so serious and the consequences
not so far-reaching as when done by
protesting Christians.
There are none of us so humble
or obscure but that we have an in
luence over some one in some way,
and we should be careful to act in
such way that we will not bring
reproach upon the church of Christ.
The expression often heard, i am
as good as some in the church." is,
alas, too true. There are six days in
which we can do all the things we
have to do. Doesn't that still,
small veice" whisper that there is
something wrong?
Often in the city of Charleston l
have seen members of the church
making their way 70 take the boat
on Sunday to spend the day in search
of pleasure at the Isle of Palms. If
it were not for the rest of the Sab
bath, affairs would be very different.

Cotton Picker a Success.

The fine Price-Campbell cotton
picking machine which Theodore H
Price of New York has been demon
strating in Robson and Richmond
counties has proven a success. 1t
seems that orders have been given
for one hundred of these machines.
An account sent out from Maxton
says:
During the demonstration here
Mr. Price counted out 25 cotton
rows, which represented one acre on
Mr. C A McKinnon's farm. He then
ran over six rows twice. The Sec
ond picking yielded only 10 pounds
of seed cotton to the six rows. This
left some still on the ground, but
the quantity was very inapprecia-
BILE. To show what was still left, he
had a negro man and his children to
20 over one of the rows, they pick
ing all cotton from the ground and
elsewhere. taking great deal more
care than hand pickers ever do, and
as a result only four pounds of seed
cotton were gathered from this and
quite little of this taken from the
ground had fallen from stalks on
the adjoining rows on either side.
The field from which this was
picked was good average cotton and
will make bale to the acre, hence
the slight per cent of the cotton
wasted is seen to be inconsiderable.
These careful tests were made to
meet the criticism that the machine
wasted great deal of cotton and
left some on the stalk, but the most
skeptical and severest critics were
convinced that the machine was a
success after seeing the tests made.
At yet the ma chimes are. in price,
out of reach of the small farmer,
though the farmer on a large scale
can easily make it pay for itself in
short time, as it costs only IL cents
hundred to pick with it, whereas you
now pay from so cents to 81 a hun
dred. and a great many times are
unable to get it picked it at all, thus
losing it entirely.
The machine is mammoth one,
weighing more than two tons, and
has a horse power from 30 to SO.
With all it's size and weight it is
thoroughly adapted to working in
almost any kind of soil, but, of
course, works better in the more
level sections than where it is ex-
tremely hilly. The price of $4,000
is considered reasonable when its
accomplishments are considered, al
though perhaps when they come into
more general use they can and will
be materially reduced RowIa"a

PARCEL POST SERVICE
To Begin Operations January 1
by Postoffice Department..

Washington, D C, November 26:-
The Parcel Post created by act of
Congress August 4. 1912, to begin
operation January l, 1913. has awak-
ened great interest all over the coun-
try, especially in rural districts.
Other countries enjoy the benefits Of
this cheap and convenient method OF
sending small packages, and our
government, in treaties, agrees to
deliver parcels sent in this manner
from such countries to persons III
the United States. There seems no
reason, therefore, why we should
not use the system to the advantage
of large proportion of our people.
The scheme is yet only an expert
ment, but will probably become a
valuable institution. Its success will
depend upon the rates charged in
comparison with those of express
companies.
The writer learned at the Post Of
flee Department that while a large
part of the office force is busy per-
fecting plans, there are still impor-
tant details yet unsettled.
The act creating the Parcel Post
is briefly as follows: Fourth class
mail is extended to include every
thing not now included in other
classes, provided the packages do
not weigh more than II pounds nor
measure more than II inches in
length and girth combined, and, fur
ther, provided they be not of a shape
or character to injure other mail, or
to spoil before delivery'in in reason
able time. This is practically the
whole bill except as to rates. 1t is
easy to regulate the size and weight
of parcels, but not easy to decide
what may be too perishable for each
distance, or too dangerous to other
mail. These questions are puzzlfng
special commission, which IN con-
ference with Senator Bourne, the
author of the bill, is now trying to
settle such details.
Shall live animals be admitted,
and such things as butter, eggs, milk
and whiskey? 1t is the evident in
tent of the bill to provide for dress
ed poultry, butter, eggs and liquors,
for farm and factory products are
especially mentioned. But such ar
ticles must Of course be put in safe
containers, which may possibly be
sold like envelopes.
Dangerous explosives cannot be
accepted, and live pigs and turkeys
will usually be excluded by weight.
But live chickens for short hauls
may become common part OF the
postman's delivery.
For the purpose of fixing rates, 8
zones are created, based upon units
that are about 30 miles square, or
half degree of latitude. But for
practical purposes we may say that
the first zone includes all points
within so miles of the sending office;
the second points between SO and
$50 miles distant. the third 15O to
300, the fourth 300 to 600, the fifth
600 to 1000, the sixth 1000 to 1400.
the seventh 1400 to 1900, and the
eighth all areas beyond 1900 miles
from the sending office. The rates
proposed are as follows.
zons Mile. First pound Each additional lb.
