You n?ay read the newspapers published in Abbeville, or in any other town, and you wilf know who are the lead ing business people in the several tpwns. They are the advertisers. If you want to know which merchants in Abbeville sell the better, and more clothing than $he others, all you have to do is to look in the advertising col unms of the county papers. You will find their names there. And nine times out of ten the man who comes to Abbeville to buy a suit pf clothes has made up his mind be I fore starting where he will purchase. If he is a reader of the county pap ers he has seen and knows just what each leading'clothing merchant in . Abbeville has to offer. When he hitches his horse, or his Ford, or his automobile, he goes straightway to the store of the . merchant whose ad ? x i? i? -?> ?i ? veru&eiucii* ne iusb icuu, ?iiu wuvac yadvertisement appeals to him. Advertising: is coming more in vo gue every day and in more and more lines of business. If you will look in . the, advertising columns of the papers, in the last issue of each week, you will find that the churches are finding newspaper advertising the best way to advise peopl6 of the services to ' be held in their churches each Sun ; day. And as in business you will find - the more progressive churches taking the lead in this manner of advertis- . . ' ing. In this issue of the Press and Banner, and in the last issue each week for several weeks, the Baptist , Church has been advertising the church activities in these columns. The preacher goes out to preach, but , he cannot preach to the people unless > he can reach them. For that reason ; the churches send out missionaries. s Neither can you preach to the people at home unless you can interest them, J and you cannot interest them unless 1 you first get their attention and in g * ? i duce them to attend the church ser- 'j vices. Advertising is the modern busi ness way of doing these things and ^ the really progressive church learns :t first. \ " , , !'. ' ' ' ' - * 1 Of course we know that some of ] the "old liners" will object to npws- ( paper advertising of the church ser- { v vices. We are all inclined as we ? grow older to become "old liners," s too, we kn9W: But every church ad vertises. At the beginning of the , ; morning service, or at its close, and * again at the evening service, the pas tor makes his announcements. This is but a form of advertising. Adver tising is the giving of publicity to j facts. The member on the streets * , Saturday evening as he goes home , from his work, tells his companion $ ' that services are to be held the next . [ day in his church and that Doctor Smith n* n<mtnr -Tnnoc io tn Hn +Vio i preaching. That is advertising. But the announcement of the pastor from j j, i the pulpit'reaches only those who at tend the services, while the object of ' ' J advertising is to reach those who do ] not attend. The member on his way , home mentions the matter of services to one, two or three people, but the advertisement in the home papers carries the news to hundreds of peo ple who might attend the services. Therefore, the giving of publicity is done in the business way by adver tising in the newspapers, the modern way, and after all there is a business end to church matters just as there is a spiritual end. A few Sundays ago the Baptist Sunday School had an advertisement in the two local papers in which it asked an attendance of a certain number at the Sunday School on the following Sunday. They had not had th's number before. On' the Sunday referred to the number was larger than that asked. Doea advertising I < pay? Ask the leading merchants in 1 Abbeville? Ask business men every-) where. 1 This interesting7 announcement ap peared in The Abbeville Press and Banner: "The city treasury is fuller this'morning, by one hundred and ten dollars, due to the fact that Chief i Johnson and his men brought in elev-j en gamblers Saturday night, each of (1 whom contributed the sum of ten 1 dollars." Can ~ it be that the city | * government of Abbeville is at war.' '? ?i i 1 s witn wnai une nus letiiueu uvui | The Press and Banner, is the city's j principal industry? Is set-back to be j put down in Abbeville after all these years? s Or is it merely to be sub jected to a rational taxation??The State. WORKING HIS HEAD. Sincfe- Deacon Barksdale began to evidence aspirations to become the President of the Setback College, Corp. Kerr, who is selling Hoosiers just now, has become one of the dea- k con's chief advisers. Every morning the Corp. thinks of a new play he has t studied out,1 and he goes over and (c talks to the Deacon about the play b leans against the refrigerator of the s Deacon in which the ice-cold drinks m are kept. Of course if somebody 0 i.L. comes aiong ana ouys one, we ueavon naturally asks the Corp. to take one too, and more than naturally the Corp. takes it?every morning at that.. In about a half hour you will find, the Corp. down in front of the Peo pies' Bank building, and there he, stands until Dr. Thomson comes out. j The Corp knows that about this time I every morning the doctor wants a cold drink. As the doctor starts off,' the Corp joins him and commences talking Presbyterianism and the next preacher they are going to have to preach for the congregation. The con versation is kept going until the cold drink stand is reached and of course the doctor ask9 the Corp to take a drink, and more than of course thje Corp takes it. We ran into a councij of war this morning in which Trustee Barnwell, Bishop Link and Auditor Sondley were participants. They had a writ de in^uirendo concerning the great friendship between the Corp and the doctor. Bishop Link said that he though maybe the doctor had taken a kind of fancy for the Corp and this accounted for the daily walks to the soft drink stand. Trustee Barnwell saja ne tnougni me aoctor was sorry for the Corp and that the latter got his drinks on this score. Auditor Sondley said he didn't know how about the drinks, but he knew that the Corp failed when he tried to push the friendship too far. -He says he naught the Corp coming out of the back room of the bank yesterday, and when the Corp saw the Auditor, the latter says the former turned red ill over, even on the top of his bald lead. -He says he never saw a man slush as much in his life and that jverybody in the bank knew he didn't jet what he was after. The Auditor ays that even, Frank Nickles was lorry for him. Perhaps the Corp tried to over vork his head. , INFORMATION Eectric as welding was first used n 1881. 1 The Chinese swifts builds its nest )f its own saliva.
