Advertising Does the Work.

Col. w. A. Klauber leaves for
New York Saturday night to buy
another stock of coats, suits and
dresses. Col. Klauber says that
his business has been enormous in
these lines, and that he owes
great deal to advertising in The
Herald in getting the people to
look at a first-class line before
going out of the city or ordering
from the mail order concerns.
Incidentally, he will attend the
sessions of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, which will be held
in New York from the 18th to
18th. Governor Manning and his
staff will attend the congress.

Shortage of Coal.

The cotton mill here has been fac
ing a serious situation in regard to
coal recently The shortage has been
due rather to bad freight conditions
or poor facilities rather than the lack
of production of coal. The mill has
been threatened with having to close
down operations several times recent
ly. the latest being last week, due to
lack of coal, although ,eight car loads
have been in transit to the mill for
some time and are somewhere on the
road.
