Martyr to Aatl-Tobacco Pledge.
Atlautlc Olty, N J. Speoial to the Oreotboro
Indotftrlal News -
Believed by his family and
neighbors to be a victi of his
devotion to an antitobacco pledge
taken during a recent revival.
John Henry Johnson, of Port
Republic, died at hi home in the
little mainland city last night.
John son, who was eighty year,s
of age, was among the audience
of several hundred who listened
to an evangelist hurl anathemas
at tobacco from the pulpit of the
St. Paul Methodist church during
the height of the religious awak
ening. Johnson was one of the men
who swore off, alt hough he had
been a user of tobacco for titty
ears. Within a few hours of
bis renouncement he was taken
sick, and physicians declared ths'.t
his nervous system was shatter
ed hy sudden abstinence from
the weed. v
Allhouyh informed that return
to tobacco might, save his life.the
aged man refused to give in to
the tempter.
"I would rather die because
I am trying to do right than per
ish in hell fire in, another world,"
Saturday neighbors who glo
ried in the old man's attitude
gave him encouragement The
aged martyr to his beliefs was
conscious to the last, and exult
ed in the strength that held him
faithful.
It Pay to Advertise Id Newspa
pers. Autobiography of a Busines
Man in Everybody's Magazine.
For a number of years I ad
vertised only in my windows
and in some of the street cars,
because I did not feel that I
could afford to advertise in the
daily papers. I was having a
cravenette coat sale, and I
succeeded in selling for a cou
ple of weeks about fifty
coats a day. I thought I would
try a column ad. in one of the
evening papers. The next day
this column ad appeared in one
of the evening papers, and, by
the by, it was not the one that
has the largest circulation ia
Chicago; I selected the paper
this ad appeared in because
they agreed to give my ad a
good position in the, paper. The
result was that the sale-, which
formerly had
coats a -day, jumped to 145,
and in 50 days I had sold over
3,500 raincoats.
For the year following that
sale I continued to advertise
in this paper. Last fall I felt
that I couldjafford'to invest, say,
about $5000 in advertising in
some of the other papers, f
used three morning papers
and three evening papers, the
best in Chicago. The results
have been something' phenomi
nal. I did not have to invest
the $5000. The profits came
Lback from the newspaper ad
vertising before their bills came
in, and I do not figure today
tjhat I have a dollar invested in
advertising. 6

His right leg was mashed off

you b gin to sneeze, try Preventics. They

Cats Out The Sponsors.
Char.ty aud' btldrrn.
Gen. Stephen D. Lee shows his
great good sense by issuing an
order cutting out tbe sponsors
from Confederate reunions hereafter-
For years the old veterans
have furnished the occasion for
ambitious young ladies with
influential relatives to parade
themselves, and the newspapers
gave larger space to the charm
ing beauties who became the
center of interest than to the
boys in gray who had nobody in
their homes sufficiently popular
or prominent to occupy the place
01 sponsor, tilled by society girls.

more and more the springboards
for society people to leap into
notoriety. It is to bo hoped that
the gra.y-headed veterans who
bore the brunt of battle will be
the ones around whom the honor
and admiration of these occas
ions will gather, and that the
beautiful young women who at
tend wilL be content to take a
lower place. There can not be
many more of these reunions.
Thinner and thinner the ranks
are growing. Each year a larg
er number are answering the
roll-call on the other side.' It is
not meet that, standing in the
glow of the sunset, these brave
old survivors shall be pushed
aside to let a lot of girls, how
ever bright and beautiful they
may be, or however strong the
pull of their parents and friends,
over-shadow them at these an
nual reunions when the people of
the South assemble to do them
honor- General Lee has done
well, tfe is a man of sense and
courage, fr it takes both of these
qualities to handle a Situation
like this.
Of Interest to Women.
Every woman naturally should be
heaitkyand strong, but a great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing to
the unnatural condition of the lives we
lead. Headache, backache and a gener . I
tired condition are prevalent amongst the
women of todav, and to relieve these con
ditions women 'rush to the druggists for
bottle of some preparation supposed to Tc
par icularly for them, ind containing
nobody knows what. If they would just
prt .1 lwx of Hrandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every night for a time, all
their trouble would disappear, as these
pills regulate the organs of the feminine
system The same dose always has the
same effect, no matter how long they are
used .
Hrandreth's Pilis have been in use for
over a century an-- are sold in every drug
and medicine slcre, either plain .r sugar
coated.
