What are you doing for your family?


M7HAT answer will you make to your
w children, in years to come, when they
ask you why they never had the great advan-
tages which other children had of learning the
real facts about everything from the Encyclo-
paedia Britannica?
for they will certainly ask you.
Are you doing your full duty by them?
You can make sure without risking penny.
The new Handy Volume" Issue at one-third
the price of the Cambridge University issue
can be examined at the store mentioned below.
On payment of only 81 the whole 20 volumes
will be sent to your home.
There each member of the family will have
chance to examine it carefully, thoroughly.
If you are not satisfied for any reason

will refund all you have paid, including the

WHAT THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA
BRITANNICA WILL DO
FOR THEM

WHAT THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA
BRITANNICA WILL DO
FOR THEM
In one respect children are very
much like chickens, puppies, kittens,
or other young animals. If you begin
early enough, and feed them right,
you can teach them almost anything
and they will never forget it.
A normal child is all curiosity. The
more curious the child is, the more
hope there is for its future.
Early accustom your child to looking
up things for himself in the Britannica.
and you will never have to worry
about his or her future.
With such an aid TO self-confidence
a very ordinary child will accomplish
the seemingly impossible. II is like
water to plants-you can fairly watch
the growth from week to week. Every
father who has tried It will bear out
this statement.
1t will show your children how to
educate themselves. 1t will show them
what knowledge is collected and ready
for use. 1t will really help them to
decide on their life work. 1t will show
them the easiest and best way 70 do
whatever they choose 10 do. 1t will
show them the methods used by the
successful.
When the Encyclopaedia Britannica
could not be had for less than $3.50,
and then only in volumes really too
large for child to handle conveniently,
there was some excuse for parents
not buying It. But now, In the Handy
Volume" Issue, the volumes smaller
than a magazine (yet containing every
word and every picture that is in the
costlier Cambridge issue), at one-thiId
the lowest price at which the Cam
bridge issue is now selling, any family
can afford it.
95 Harvard professors and instTuc-
tors own iti rs at Columbia; 6s sets
are in the Government Departments
at Washington; and IS sets in the
New York Public Library. But we
do not wish you to buy on this
Recommendation or on ours.
We want you 10 satisfy yourself, in
your home, with your children around
you, that the Handy Volume" Issue
is the best investment you ever
made in your life. Give the books a
thorough trial, and be sure the chill
dTen's mother has vote on the fnal
decision. That is all we ask.
Send them back inside of three
weeks, if the children will give them
up. and we will refund all you have
paid.

JOHN G. CLINKSCALES:

DR.. Jno. G. Clinkskales, former
cadidate for Governor, of South Caro-
lima and professor at Wofford Col
lege, says:
"My regular summer work for
Wofford College in particular, and
for education in general, has taken
me over many counties, and feel
quite sure, after watching closely
the trend Of things, that Governor
Manning will succeed himself. In my
Judgment the Governor is gaining
ground every day. The open, manly,
straight way in which he has met his
opponents and his persistent fight all
along for good, clean government are
gripping the attention of the people
as the election day approaches.
MANY good men who would per-
sonally prefer one of the other can
didates are beginning to feel as does
DR.. Mccain; that to vote at this time
for any other would be evidence of a
failure to appreciate an honest effort
on the part of the chief executive to
give South Carolina clean govern
ment.
Il am glad to find, too, that the
people will ALLOW no more elemina-
ton, such as we had two years ago.
Every tub must stand on it's own
BOTTOM they say.
Governor Manning has had no
easy task. His has not been a bed
of roses. In discharging his duty
he has necessarily offended many
people. That was to be expected.
He has done we'll, and I believe the
people will give him second term
as governor, as he deserves
