Changed tho Printing.
It will be seen from an announce
ment elsewhere, that the newly elect
ed Sheriff. Mr. W. H. Oobb, from
some reason satisfactory to himself,
has taken the printing from the Sum
ter Republican which has done the
Sheriff’s printing acceptably from
1854 to 1885, and given it to the Amer
icus Recorder. It ia reasonable to sup
pose there is a cause for this satisfac
tory to himself, if not to the people of
the county. It has transpired that he
said “he worked for those who work
ed for him.” If he means to intimate
that the Sumter Republican took
no open stand for him (Cobb) he is
perfectly correct, for this paper was
perpendicular between the aspirants
tor Sheriff, nor does the editor know
how any vote in the office was cast
except his own. While it did not take
an open stand for Mr. Cobb, neither
did it take an open stand for Mr.
Mize. It is a matter of conviction with
us that the people of Sumter county,
or any respectable number of them
would not have indicated a change,
nor do we believe they will be sat
isfied with the charge. There was
no such issue before the people, and
had there been the result would have
been different We have been assured
by numbers who voted tor Mr. Oobb
that had they known that he would
have changed the county printing to
the Americas Recorder they would
hot have voted for him. Bat two years
is a short time and we shall then see
what we shall see.

We are frequently asked:
“Does advertising pay?”
In reply, wifi state that running a
business without advertising Is very
much like putting up a sign in our
cellar. We, of course, would know
what we are doing and what we have
for salq, but the rest of the world-
how are they to find out about it?
But it is no use to advertise unless one
has the goods and will make the prices

It ia amusing to see how tender-foot
ed certain blood remedy proprietors
have become of late. They make ranch
ado about “apes and imitators,” when
none are in sight.
The proprietor* of B. B. D. would
say most emphatically that their reme
dy stands upon its own merit. Should
we attempt to imitate, it would not be
those who do not understand the modus
iperendi of that which they offer. Oar
own long experience in the profession
precludes such an idea. The field lor
blood remedies is Urge and troad af
fording ample room for all present as
pirants. 'We do not desire to close the
door against others, neither shall it be
dosed against ns. B. B.B. is the quick
est remedy, does not contain mineral or
vegetable poison, does not imitate, and
is in the field sa an honorable competi
tor for public favor. dec.5-lm.
