THE CASE OF MIR. HOYT.

Because ii has been so generally
charged without a denial, that the res
ignation of James A. Hoyt. as editor
of The Columbia Record was due to
the stand he took against race track
gambling, it seems to us to be admit
ted as true. II is pity that Mr..
Hoyt's zeal in this good cause should
have aroused the enmity of the mon
eyed interest" in Columbia. but il did

without job However, we are quite
sure that his well known ability as
n newspaper man and his fearless
sense of duty to the public will win
for him an even more desirable place
than that which he has just left. We
know 1t will be more congenial.
However his enforced resignation
suggests several things to our mind
Are the righteous efforts of such a
newspaper, as Mr.. Hoyt made The
Record, really appreciated and are
such efforts financially profitable An
answer to either of these questions is
IN itself an answer to the other. If a

and protect the morals of the people

February of each year, all taxpayers
are required to make return of
their property to the county auditor.

each year the city treasurer makes M
his tax books from the books of the

TOM BROWN AND THE MOON


Big Tom Brown was one of the
strongest men of Dials township. But
few men wanted to come in contact
with Toms fist. He ovrlooked our
plantation. One spring morning he
was planting corn and Edmund Bolt
rode by on his way TO the mill. He
stopped and accosted Brown 81 say
Tom you are planting your corn the
wrong time of the moon! 1t will all
run to stalk and have no ears
MIR. Bolt, l am making my crop
this year on the earth. / am not farm
ing upon the moon"
1t is surprising how many of our
people believe in moon farming. We
all know the sun gives us light, and
its heat is the life of all plants. But
as 10 the inouence of the moon on
vegetable life l know not what con
troll it has over plant and life.
One man contends that all root
crops must be planted a certain time
of the moon, so the crop will not run
to stalk, but make root. Another says.
Plant all crops that make ears above
the ground a different time of the
moon, so you will make big grains and
ears and small stalks" Another says.
| cut all my stove wood with the light
of the moon, so it will dry out quick
and burn well. l split my fence rails
the same way, SO they will last long.
! go fishing certain time of the
moon, and when the wind is coming
from the south. or my catch will be
light Another Will castrate his stock.

will not bleed too much.

Mountville, Jan. 15.-To resist and
overcome a temptation is heroic, but
to be overcome by one is not manly.
No one deserves credit for being
tempted but honor belongs to him who
has the moral strength and courage to
resist an evil. A Sunday snow may be
temptation to some to violate the
Sabbath, but only the careless and un-
thoughted will be caught by it. To
violate the Sabbath is moral wrong.
Last Sunday we heard several gun
shots and two men came into our yard
and said they had tracked rabbit TO
our garden. They asked if they might
track him up and kill him TO keep
him from eating up your sallet." You
see they were kind and thoughtful in
trying to save our "sallet", but entire
ly Indifferent to the proper observance
of the, day. Our answer, however.
saved the rabbit, at least for that day.
and the men, somewhat disappointed
at the loss of their game, went on their
evil way
1t is said there are three events in
the history of any ones life which the
Bible justifies in making especially
prominent by sacred celebration.
These are birth, marriage. and death.
While the two first are usually occa-
sions of praise and gladness, the last
always brings sorrow and grief. The
two deaths which have recently oc-
CURED in this immediate section were
especially sad and full of grief That
of Mrs. j. c. Benjamin, which occurred
at the Laurens County Hospital two
weeks ago, removed a devoted wife. a
Kind mother, and a Christian lady
from our midst The other death was
that of Mrs. Carry Graham. the young
wife of Mr.. Calhoun Graham. which
occurred last Monday morning after
a lingering illness of several months.
Mrs. Graham leaves a husband, five
months old child and a number of
ether relatives in deep mourning over
her early and unexpected departure.
She was the oldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. VIM p. Boyd Her remains
were laid to rest in the PRESBYTERIAN
cemetery of this place Tuesday af
ternoon, Rev. J. \ Martin conducting
the funeral services. All the bevcayed
have our sincere sympathy in their
sorrow.

Used Want Ad.

Mr.. W II Barksdale, of the Barks-
dale section, was in the city one day
the latter part of last week. In speak
ing of want ad that he placed in
The Advertiser the week before offer
ing a COW for sale, he said that the
day after the ad appeared he sold the
cow as direct result. This only goes
to show, as has been stated a number
of times lately, that want ad nearly
always brings results. However, it
must not be expected that a want ad
will create demand for something
that is not salable To get the proper
results from an advertising campaign.
be 1t ever so small, the goods adver-
tised must have some value. 1t must
not be expected that If some one has

might bring someone who wants to
buy, but after he sees the animal that
is advertised he will not buy. The
purpose OF an advertisement is to tell
the public what you have which the
public wants. Do not expect to sell
an undesirable article by advertising.
1t cannot be done successfully.
