PART PLAYED BY ADVERTISING |
in BUILDING AUTO INDUSTRY

vertising and selling we're quickly
brought into play
The writer has Ditch heard the un-
enlightened man attribute the cost OF
an automobile to a big advertising ex-
peaiiture. This is absolutely foolish
as is. proven by facts Advertising
has. REDUCED the cost OF automobiles.
AS the educational work of the
manufacturers in their advertising be-
gan TO attract notice and increase
sales. the consumption prices OF au-
tomobiles automatically went lower
and lower, The average price of au-
tomobiles in 1907 was SIPS and BY
1915 the average price had dropped
to less than $3.50
Built Up Industry
Advertising. mere than any other
factor, has been responsible for the
mushroom growth OF the automobile
industry that has startled the world.
In 1913. counting all types OF '.horse-
less vehicles there were about 1l.000
manufactured and sold. The produc.
ton in 1915 was 70S.0o0.
Ii is estimated that within the
next few years there will be an an.
ngal consumption OF 100000 cars.
which was the figure OF carriage sales
before the advent OF the automobile.
Advertising is educating the public
TO the economy of the motor car. and
with increased sales. the prices will
continue to be. correspondingly low
cred until an estimate OF million
people who can afford to own and
run a motor car viii indeed be con-

the idea began to get word-of-mouth

Seven thousand dollars in gold and
the title of champion racing driver
OF America goes TO Dario Resta, sem
saxional Italian-American pilot, and
his laundering blue Peugeot car as a
result of his five victories on the
American track during 1916, the eli
max of which was reached when he
led the field across theTfinishing line
in the Vanderbilt Cup race at Santa
Monica on November L.
Resta frightened his grip on the
Championship crown in the Wander
bilt, and even though he failed to
finish In the Grand Prize race, he
made more certain possession Of the
trophy, title and major portion of
the $13,500 cash purse, because his
nearest competitog, Johnny Aitken,
was the victim of hard luck and did
not finish his car.
The dual misfortune in the Grand
Prize left the championship still un.
decided. and the championship award
sweepstakes at Ascot Park next
Thursday was the logical battle
ground for the great struggle. How
ever, Aitken and his teammate, VIII
cox, became afflicted with chilled
feet, and yhen they retreated In the
general direction OF Indianapolis, the
field was left clear to Resta, and he
automatically took the title and first
money by default.
Aitken was eminently satisfied

The large gathering of Union peo-
pie to meet the trains carrying our SOL
diers to the border evinces our inter-
est in their welfare. AS the word
went out that these special trains,
carrying the boys Of the 1st regiment
had left Columbia and would pass
through Union, people gathered from
everywhere in the city and many came
from Buffalo and other points to shake
hands with the soldiers and bid them
Godspeed. The mayor and city council
did commendable thing when they
served bottle of ice cold soda water
to each one of the soldiers on the Sec
tion carrying our Union fellows. We
want our boys to feel that we appre-
ciate their patriotism, and to know
that they are fighting our battles as
we'll as their own in this war business.

The Times man heard the speeches
of every candidate at West Springs
Wednesday. The remarkable thing
noted was the absence of bitterness.
This is quite a noteworthy situation,
a commendable thing. When the pas
sions are aroused the judgment be-
comes poor. Bitterness is a poor
asset in politics as in every other
relation. Our people are developing
mental balance, and it is a good sign.
We sincerely hope that this present
good fellowship will continue through
out the campaign. After all is said,
salvation does not depend upon the
election or defeat of any candidate.
Too long have we injected strife and
bitterness. Too long have our people
been divided. Weigh the candidates.
Go out and hear them. Judge for
yourself and vote as you please.
That's our advice this round.

We have recently been impressed
with the fact that automobiles have
developed one very serious nuisance
the Sunday visitor. The burden falls
most heavily upon the people living
in the rural districts. The town dwell
er, weary with his weeks grind in
office or store, gathers his family
around him Sunday morning and the
whole family go out to enjoy a days
rest in the country. Incidentally they
succeed in driving the country house
wife into the kitchen and prevent the
whole family from attending church.
1t is an imposition, pure and simple,
and if these same friends and rela-
tives could get down into the inner
most thoughts of their hostess, they
would receive an erlightening reve-
lation. Think over this and "cut out"

Commissioner Watson sent two in
spectors here this week to inquire into
the cases of destitution caused by the
recent floods. If there are any such
cases in the county they should be re-
ported to County Supervisor J. r.
Jeter, who will in turn report to Com
missioner Watson. Upon Mr.. Wat
sons receiving the information the
matter will be taken up by the fed
eral authorities. We do not know of
any persons in our county who have
been so hard hit that they will have
to be assisted by the government.
Should there be any such cases, how
ever, we advise that they commun-
icate with DR.. Jeter at once.
Our people have been hard hit, but
they are good losers. We have not
much sympathy with the too ready
cry for government aid. Anyway, the
whole amount appropriated by the
government, distributed equally to ev-
cry citizen of the State would be SO
lnsihnigcant. The pluck and endur-
ance that rebuilt the South after the
war will be called into action in the
present distress or any other calamity
that may befall us. Our people are a
seh-reliant people, fearless people
and proud people. Some folks think
us too proud, but we believe not. A
citizenship without high ideals and a
spirit of independence is unworthy.

NOW, COLES OUT AND SANS IN.

Editor Chas O. Hearon is reliable man and
everybody that knows him has confidence in him.
Here's extracts from his letter to the Editor of the
Fountain Inn Tribune:
1.-The Herald supported Sam Nichols in the second
primary before having any conversation or under
standing with Sam Nichols to his future political
activity. After the paper had come out for him he
thanked me for what had said and replied that
feared we had done something that we would re-
gret, but was willing to take chance on him. I
predicted that Bease would be running against Gov
ernOr Manning this summer and that we would have
him supporting Bease and the whole row to 20 over
again.
He told me that he believed that Blease had been
suflcenty hOnOred by being governor for two terms
and should be run against Manning, he would not
support him.
Very truly
(signed) CHAS O. HEARON.
Say, that Governor Blease very materially made
Sam Nichols what he is politically. When Blease
was IN, he helped him in every way. He granted him
pardons, he granted him franchises and now if Sam
Nichols does vote against Blease it shows that at
first ne was for Blease then against Blease so how
IN the world are you going to know where he stands
