get out a handbill? ;You would send
items to a newspaper, would yon not?
Then why don't you put your adv'er

man who uses a billboard is adding'

builds your town. Why not help to
build up the newspapers? There is
no better advertisement in the world
tor a town than a good newspaper.
A newspaper is the barometer ot the
town's industry. Show us a good
newspaper full of advertising and we
will show you a good town full of
ive merehants. Billboards are an
eyesore; handbills are a nuisance;
theatre programs are worthless; hotel
register from an advertising stand-
point are rediculous; Newspapers
are town builders, town advertisers.
foartune makers, news disseminators,
sermon deliverers, prosperity fore
casters. Thev are a necessitv. not a

luxury. They must b maintained.
Without them we would retrograde
to the medieval days. Don't pat
rnize them from a charitable stand
point. Patronize them beeause they
deliver the goods, that is, if they are
th right kind. Cut out the foolish
ness and work for the upbuilding of
your town and state by upbuilding
your newspapers.'

The bed rock of the plan is that
every man in Franklin county will
be asked to give something. Will
there a man say no?
Services at Baptist Church,
A series of revival meetings was
commenced at the Baptist church
here on Monday night of this week.
The pastor, Rev. L. W. S wope, is
being assisted by Rev. C. A. Jones,
of Bennettsville, S. C, whe is de
livering some able nd forceful ser
mons. The night services commence
promptly at 7:30 o'clock and the
morning services will be held be
tween the hours of 8 and 9. We
are requested to extend a special in
vitation to everybody to attend these
services.
Some Interesting Facts.
In the building ot theatre galleries
anl grand stands the supporting
strength of the structure has tq be
carefully worked out. This is done
by multiplying the area in square
feet by the pressure which it is es
timated a crowd exerts to the square
foot, and making the supports pro
portionately strong. At' one time
the weight of a crowd was determin
ed at between 82 pounds and 102
pounds a square foot, but experi
ments have shown this to be a great
underestimation, and the weight ex
erted is now calculated at trom 123
pounds to 133 pounds.
The extent of the use of chewing
gum among the people of the Unit
ed States is illustrated by the fact
that theimportation of "chick! e" in
1908, chiefly for us 3 in the manufac
ture of chewing-gum, : amounted to
more than 4,000,000 pounds. The
article ij'chickle's; obtained in
Southern Mexico from the trunks of
the sapodila plum tree, and the im
portation of this gum during the last
decade has amounted' to , 13,000,000

Pick-Pockets.
We learn that about the usual
number ot pick-pockets were in evi
dence in Kaleijh at the Fair this
week, but have not learned where
jny of our people havt tuftered verf
much from them. It ia a i ret pity
that this daaa of people could not be
eliminated at stch place, and when
one ia caught the law should show
no mercy for them but put thu pen
alty as stiff as possible.
