Pure-Bred Hogs VS.. Calendars as
Advertisements.

Things are rapidly coming south
ward. More initiative, push and
capital and commercial courage will
place US in the forefront. / have
never seen, in travelling over a good
portion of Virginia, as extensive pre-
parations for all spring crops, corn,
potatoes, oats, etc. People are
blowing land that has lain idle ever
so long. They are looking into the
swine industry. One Instance: A
bank that had hitherto issued to its
patrons calendars costing something
like a thousand dollars bought this
year pure-bred hogs and distributed
them instead of calendars. This
was a North Carolina bank, think.
Advertising, publicity work at the
right time and in the right place,
must always find its greatest field of
expression in the pages of the public
press. That is the surest means of
reaching the largest number of pos
sible patrons with the most
economic expenditure of time, ma
terial and money. In certain spe-
cial lines, however, has developed in
recent years an inclination to apply
one of the fundamental truths in
advertising, keeping oneself con-
stantly before the public eye, by
resorting to the gift of calendars and
other objects in daily use. Whether
or not there has ever been a test of
the value of such mediums of ad-
vertising in comparison with results
from the standing advertisement in
the proper sort of newspapers, we
do not know. But we are quite sure
that when bank resorts to circula-
ton among its patrons of pure-bred
hogs instead of calendars, as men
toned above, by G. E. Cassels, East
Radford, Va, publicity agent of the
Norfolk & Western Railway, it is
bound to reap at least double re-
turns. If the calendars are really
effective, they are so because they
bring to mind the name of the bank
whenever anybody has business to do
with bank. The gift by bank OF
a pure-bred hog to a patron not only
keeps the banks name permanently
in the mind of the patron, but sup
plies the means, through the in
crease from the hog, for an increase
in the business of the patron of the
bank. If the circulation of pure
bred hogs or similar objects as ad-
vertisements by banks should be-
come epidemic in the South, the
banks would share the prosperity
thereby induced for their patrons

CHE TOLD EN- so, HIMSELF"
1.-THE Columbia Record. }

C. j. Lyon, sheriff of Abbeville
county and nominee for United State
marshal, under the new circuit bill,
is in the city. Mr.. Lyon is one of
the most fearless officials in the State
and is very popular in Abbeville and
surrounding counties. He worked
harder and longer for the reelection
of Senator E. D. Smith than almost
any other man in the Piedmont coun-
try, and his being selected for the
position of marshal is not only by
way of promotion for him as sher-
iff. but is also a compliment to him
for his services to E. D. Smith. -

Wild Geese Going North.

A flock of wild geese, about twen-

several days in Saluda river, near the
Steel bridge. Persons have tried to
get at them, but have not succeeded.
The geese were on their way north
and, evidently liking the looks of the
country, stopped over to spend few
days. Their going north is an indi.
cation that the hard weather OF
winter is over.-Newberry Observer.

Last Wednesday night Wellington
people young and old witnessed and
experienced an occasion the like oi
which has never occurred in the his.
tory of this town-a town banquet
This banquet was held on the second
floor of the school building.
Throughout the entire evening q
general good time was in order. Hearts
that had been weighed down by cares
vexations were made lighter. The only
object of the banquet was the ex-
changing of fellowship and fostering
CT friendship. Old time southern hos
pitality reigned supreme. The BAN
queters as they entered the spacious
hall were met with a scene that would
please the most fastidious. The ta-
BILE forty feet long was loaded down
with a variety of viands too numerous
to mention. Artillery punch and cham
payne lent vivacity to the occasion.
After all had eaten and the table
vas cleared hearts were made more
joyful by listening to the strains of
the violin in the hands of DR.. Cade
and Mr.. Sam Cowan and Mr.. Bob Cow
an with the banjo, with the organ ac-
compartment by Mesdames S. T. Cade
and Albert Gilbert.
The old people seemed to enjoy the
music greatly since it brought to
their minds many happy evenings
spent IT. their youthful days. The sue
cess of the banquet was due largely to
the untiring efforts of the committee
composed of Messrs Albert Gilbert, E.
II. Albea, J. G. Hemminger, and A. B.
Kennedy.
The occasion will ever stand as a
mark Of friendship and fellowship.
