TRIAL OF CASES
Busy Session of Three Weeks
Has Ended

The fall session of Sumter superior
court practically ended yesterday, AMI

negro murder cases upon it, and the
entire session, with the exception OF
two days, was devoted to the trial of
criminal cases. Judge Littlejohn will
call the motion docket on Monday
morning next, and at that time will
pass sentence upon Will Walker, the
only negro receiving a death decree
at this term of the court.

NAKED MAN.

On August 4, Joseph Knowles, a
Boston artist, plunged into the for

was naked He had no weapons,
tools, food or raiment of any kind.
He promised to come out of the
woods October in prime condition.
He kept his promise, and on the
day set he reappeared, clad in the
skins Of deer and black bear, with
good maccasins on his feet, and q
pack on his back containing a fire
machine and other tools which he had
fashioned.
There is mighty truth all of us
can learn from this naked man o.
the wilderness.
We often hear young men asking
what is the secret of success.
The whole secret of any rea
achievement lies in the brain and
spirit of man. There is no other

brain Or the daunted spirit.

WHAT DOES AN ADVERTISER
WANT?

There has been vigorous campa1gh
of late among certain advertising men
and a certain class of publications tc
promote the idea that newspapers and
magazines should be governed in their
editorial policies and in their selection
of news ty the rights and preferences
OF their advertisers.
OF course, the first right of an adj
vertiser is to reach many readers, but
the notion seems to obtain with ce:-
tain editors that unless the news and
editorials are shaped to conform t.
I the tastes and purposes of the ultra
wealthy and the specially privileged
the man who advertises doesn't get a
fair deal
Ideas which are essentially demo
cratic appear to this advertising school
to be bad for business, generally de-
structive and most abcminably fraught
with mischief
1t scarcely seems worth while to Of
| fer arguments against such a gro
tesque obsession. Perhaps the re-
Elections of the editor of one of the
popular magazines which freely ex-
presses modern thought and adapts
its policy only TO what it's editors con-
ceiye to be the public demand in read
ing matter, will serve to forcefully
point out the error and stupidity of this
policy of toadying. Says the Metro
politan:
"The business men of the county
are not all money grubbers, as so many
people seem to suppose. Most of them
honestly wish to improve the condi-
ton of the workmen, and to distribute
profits more evenly among all classes
of producers.
I'VE would not want the business o.
any advertiser however important, I'M
less we felt that he was open to con-
slider the best steps toward human
progress"
AS a matter of fact, the Independent
publications which cater to no especial
class and no particular interests, reach
the greatest number of INTELLIGENT read
ers and are very naturally the best
vehicle for advertisers. Advertisers
themselves are of no especial class or
interest. They are only human, like
the rest of us. Why assume that tn "
are opposed to the uplift of their kind
or the progress of free and just gov
ernment?-The Augusta Herald.
