The Newberry Observer, a splendid paper, edited by a splendid man, has. been * bucking and shying and running out of t>io rnnrt nnri Rtamn^dinc at what it is pleased to call "The Free Pass" (?) Papers, like the individuals who edit them, have their eccentricities. The eccentric rod on the Observer engine plays in and out, night and day, forever and ever on the Free Pass. There is a "nig in the wood pile," or a "rabbit in the brush pile," with the Observer. Just why the Observer shies so at exchanging advertising ror mueage is noi made known, but as "Po6tum"says, "there is a reason." You have Been Br'er Rabbit twisted out . of a hollow tree where he had taken lodging for safety. A split stick, a grape vine, or a bramble briar did the work. You ,. pushed the briar into the hollow stump until you felt something soft: then you began to gently twist the briar, which quickly fastened on Br'er Babbit's tender skin. A / few turns, and Br'er Rabbit was fastened. A gentle pull, and Br'er Rabbit was your meat. Now, the Observer rabbit is "treea oeyant a doubt." The Observer rabbit has : given himself away by sundry scratches and wiggles in the Free Pass log. , But the question is, how to get him out. . Can he be smoked out ? "Will the forked stick bring him out ? The bramble is the best Instrument, but It is worst on Br'er Babbit's meat. k' ' Suppose we try smoke on the Observer rabbit first. Come now, Observer, come down out of I * that Free Pass log. Tell us truly why you shy at exchange of advertising for transportation and thus hide in the Free Pass log. We know you are in there; come out! Such an exchange is nothing more than barter. Barter is still a respectable and honest way of carrying on trade. Every- 1 body under the sun has bartered more or less in his day. What made you shy into that Free Pass ' ;> loir Come out! I1 That's a nice little br'er rabbit; come own, now; we just want to know why you 11 shied into that Free Pass log. . Last Saturday morning nine thousand ' S ni^e hundred and ninety-nine men took 'ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and 1 ninety-nine eggs to town and bartered ' - them for soap, starch and soda; do you ' understand? soap starch and soda! Then why cannot I take my little measly plumb s er's dozen of advertising eggs and ex? change them? That's a pretty rabbit; come down! this is oniy smoke. No bramble briar here, ftomft down. Br'er Rabbit out of that Free I Pass log. Bid the Observer get more in return for Its advertising eggs than they were worth, and for this reason has a grouch ? Oh,-sh-h-h-h? Maybe the Observer's { advertising eggs are No, no! that ' could not be. Then come out, Br'er Rab- , . bit, oome out! i |jj-5.' j - < tin Little Bey and the Court Boon- i PXJQn last Friday afternoon a cali was made by the court crier for one of the lawyers.

That Horrible Whistle Camden Chronicle. Mr. Editor: We wish lo cull attention to a nuisance which should not be tolerated. We do not think, however, that it is < necessary to call the attention of the pubit^ in thic manner to aoouaint them with the evil for we are sure that our entire citizenship is quite cognizant of its existence. We refer to that horrible whistle, which every morning before day when tired humanity is seeking refreshment in i sleep, sends its awful grating sound over the entire community, racking the nerves i of the sick and robbing others of much needed rest. Why the management of these mills allow this nuisance is a mystery, and we hope that if they are unmind- ! ful of the comfort of the well the plea of the sick and suffering will cause them to i desist. A. Subscriber. What refreshing apathy to progress is this! Oh you dear Chronicle subscriber, to have heard enough factory whistles must be great indeed. Is Camden so full of factories? Would that we could be satiated with factory whistles! Would that the six o'clock scream of forty factories might make the welken ring and tremble and dance in Abbeville. Let him who wishes listen at the crickets and the katy-dids and jar flies and the owls and the frogs and the cicadae and the bull bats and the whip-poor-wills, they are all good enough and indicative of peace ' and quiet, but give us the horrible squawk and squall of factory siren, let them whoop and yell and squall at five in the morning. Who cares? To hear them makes us reel iiKe tilings are uoing. Oh, you artless subscriber, take away your factories and your real estate would drop like Lucifer from Paradise. Take away your factories and your population would fade like three cents calico under a July sun. Take away your factories and your pocket book would grow flabby and flat. | Go to sleep at the right time, keep your , conscience clear, sleep like an honesl man, . get up with the chickens and the factory whistles will only be a call to matins that ' will sound as the harmonized strains from ! a well tuned instrument, touched by a master hand. \ Hook Worm at the South Carolina Uni. versify. A crusade has been inaugurated in Columbia against the Hook worm. In making examination of the student body at the University fully CO per cent of the boys were found to have Hook worms. This is startling. If examination shows 3uch a per cent among a body of boys from almost every county in the State, it would seem that Hook worm may be more prevalent than we immagine. If a hundred people in Columbia were sxamined and 60 per cent found affected with Hook worms it might not be so surprising. There might be some local ?use, or conditions under which the worm thrives there better than elsewhere. But when a body of men, made up from every county of the State, are examined and 60 per cent found affected the result is startling. The little pest may have made greater ravages than we thought for at first. It would not be a bad idea for all of us to take a big dose of Thymol "on suspicion." Thymol, however, is a dangerous medicine and no one should take! j It except as'prescribed by a doctoiv The Daily Mail pretends that the atmo- 1 3phere is clear enough around Anderson , to see the comet before it has even devel- l oped a tail.

Congressman Aiken made a strog pica for the rural free delivery service in conpress last week. He has for a long time been a kind of faster-father in congress for the rural service boys and the good people they serve. He has presented some facts in this speech that will be hard to get around when final settlement of the carriers cause is up. There are no frills on his remarks, but as an appeal to the unBmotional House of Representatives, it is all the better for that. l_ Automobiles Galore. In a short time all of our business mer who have gotten a few hundred yards ahead of the wolf will.be riding back ami forth to their business in automobiles. There is Mr. J. W. McKee, Jr., who has opened up business, with t^vo or thref beauties as samples. He can sell you machines single or double, red or black, anything you want from a touring car to ji runabout, and his prices will make yon feel like you had stolen the machine, il you aint particular what you think. Then there is Mr. W. A. Calvert, who has had such financial success both in the buggy and furniture business. He, too, has put in automobiles and he can supply you with any kind, any color, any size from little "E's to Basses," and of guaranteed quality. Call and see these gentlemen and get you a couple?one for every day and one for Sunday. / . Keep my Name out the Paper. Since the liquor selling cases have been going on numerous requests have been made to keep names out of print. Newspapers have a work to do and a duty to perform, the same as in other lines of business. Their contract with their subscribers is tc give the news. To suppress important items in the biggest piece of news that has happened in a long time* would be manifestly unfair to a papers readers?it would be the same as selling fourteen ounces for a pound. It's the same old story, being caught is worse than committing the crime. The jest way to "keep your name out of the paper" in connection with a criminal mat:er is to do nothing criminally connected. -Sumter Herald. Bees Laxative Congo syrup comnm* u> ipiate or narcotic.

But whether, line the importunate widow of Holy Writ, I have been heard for iny much speaking, or for whatever cause, we have from time to time on each successive appeal granted these good men a measure of relief. All that we have done, however, has been by parsimonious piecemeal, as if we arere feeling our way with a doubtful experiment. Now, let us ask ourselves the question fairly: Has the rural service passed the experimental stage? Is it a fact of our Government's administration? The rural service has come to stay. This is the wealthiest Nation on earth, and it is wealthy because of the great' variety and quantity of raw material produced by its agriculturists, the men who dwell in the rural sections. It is their brawn and brain that give us the balance of trade with the civilized world. Un their labor cities are built and millions of artisans and professional men are sustained. All other wealth is but so much margin of prolit on the oiiginal substance coaxed .from the soil or reared on the farm. The farmer is not an obtrusive person. For many years he submitted to every conceivable inconvenience in getting the semiweekly mail that the Government delivered at some remote office, while his neighbor in the city was having his mail delivered dailv at his door. In the rural delivery service the rural resident way accorded tardy recognition of his right to participate in the taxes he paid. Tho Government, recognizing as it must that I its very roots are imbedded in the soil, ( can not turn backward in the rightful 1 accomodation and uplift of its husband- ' men, Is it not, then, and should it not be the pol icy of this .Government to adequately support the rural service? I maintain and propose to prove a little ' further on in my remarks that we are not i doing it. I understand that the deficiency of something liko $9,000,000 in the postal < service is charged up largely to the rural free delivery. I would like to know by , what process this conclusion is reached. Is it not just possible that lax manage' ment by the Post-Ofliee Department, > rather than the rural service or the rate on second-class matter, is accountable for ? the postal deficiency? The President states that it costs Lhe Government 9 cents per pound to carry second-class matter. The express companies as well as the Government are in the carrying business, ; doing business on the same trains all over I tins country. The' express companies charge on second-class mail matter from . Washington to Chicago,, a distance of I 1,000 miles, 2 1-2 cents per pound on 50pound quantities or more. For shorter distances the price is about half as much, ' and' for across-continent transportation about twice as much. In the longest haul ; that an express company can possibly make it does not charge exceeding1 6 cents , per pound for second-class matter. This ' is based on the express company's general ! schedule of rates, while it is compared * with the lowest article on the government rate. Does anybody believe that [ the express companies are operating at a ' loss? One of them only recently distributed $17,000;000 in d vidends to its stock- ] ' holders. They have made no concessions J to newspaper or periodical men. They have simply iused businese methods in making their schedules, and it is hard to conceive of a more profitable business than they are conducting. Here is a specimen of the Government's i lack of business methods: "The Government is paying an annual rental of $3,000 each per year for the use of postal cars which cost the railroads* less than $7,000 each to bify". If the Government is to be 1 held up in tt is way by the railroads, had it not better suspend building battle ships i for a while and devote its attention to tho building of postal cars? If .the PosVOfllce Department does not m pay, neither does the War Department nor [the Navy Department, measured in dollars and cents. If it is important to z. protect our country from tho invader, without reference to the hundreds of ^ millions expended in the sinews of war, " and despite the fact that we are enjoying profound peace with the world, surely a small deficit charged to the postal service g, its agency for the enlistment and eleva- W tion of its citizenship, is not misappropriated. But I verily believe that if business ? methods are substituted by the Govern- [_ ment for political preferment all shortages '; in t.lm PnRt>f)fflpA Denn.rt.ment will be ! wiped out. ii While I have not the figures at hand, I ^ know as a fact that the rural service has stimulated correspondence by rural residents until jit has more than doubled in "j the hist decade. It has abolished thousands of small post-oflices with the salaries on cancellations allowed the postmas- _ tens. It.has driven out the equally expensive and unsatisfactory star-route system. When the service is credited ... with the stimulated correspondence and the pay of postmasters and star-route (j carriers, I believe that the account with : the Government would be balanced, .But its greatest value as a revenue producer n| is in none of these, and for this the system L receives not one cent of credit. The larg- w est revenue derived from the rural system is from response to rural correspondence, ? There is the letter advertising goods, then w the letter acknowledging receipt of or- gt Jers, then the. letter making prices on specific articles, then the letter notifying that the article has been sent, and finally tj. if the package is one that can be carried in the mail, the article itself is so sent. . All of this has been stimulated more than a hundred per cent, and yet the Rural Delivery Service is not credited with one ec cent on account of it. It is reflected in the larger post-offices, and there, too, the credit goes. Post-Offices are rapidly advanced to third and second class offices r0 and postmasters' salaries are increased accordingly, but no thought is given to the gt humble carrier, who through the snows of tj. winter and the scorching heat of summer has made his ceaseless rounds, building up g. the revenue of the service. c[ I have said that the lural carriers are vi 1..?:.i T .. . !( fi?> f.,,.)., ,l? I UUlH'jy {JUKI* -U<JL U9 ow: it (/III? iai wo \.ikj 4*wu *.. bear out this assertion. In many in- m stances they are forced to keep two horses, but I have not singled out such { lor the purpose of uiy argument. I have received from many of the carriers of my * district their actual expense account for ,}. six months, covering the following items: j, ilorse feed, blacksmithing, vetinary, re- ? pairs to vehicles, repairs to harness, depreciation of vehicles and harness, deprecation .and death of horses, blankets and robes, and interest on outlay at G per cent. For convenience I have taken at random cr the accounts of nine carriers of my dis- 11 triet, with this result: Tho inine carriers -I! received as pay for six months $3,1545, and they incurred expenses aggregating $1,915.25. This means that these men, whose work is more trying than that of any ofiicial in the government service, received pay which averaged $192.1!) for Kl , six months' service. I may add that in looking over the expense account I noted :(r no dead horses and no extraordinary or large item entering into it, Take out of this pitiful sum of $192,19 the scanty sup- fr port of the carrier, and perhaps of a family, and.think what his plight must be at the end of six months. Now, these are homely facts that I am bringing to your 'attention; but since they are facts they ^ must appeal to every conscientious Kcpre- Ir tentative on the floor of this House. Conditions in the district that I have the y honor to represent are not different from those prevailing over the entire country. A statement covering 42 States and prac ? - - - s ' - ? ?1-: l- ,1 Ileal i y every uisuici. in waiun mo iuiui service is in operation, shows that the average net earnings of the thousands of , earriers employed for six months, closing N December 31, lliO'j, after deducting main- A tenance of equipment, was $181). Livo stock has advanced fully 50 per cent: fl harness and equipment have advanced a fully 50 per cent; horse feed, especially 11 corn and oats, has advanced 100 per cent; 0' I provisions have advanced in many arti- n cles?meat, for instance?300 per cent; and p j yet (he carrier is expected to support him- a self and family out of the small sum of $1 Hi) for six months. Such parsimopy is Jj I unworthy of a Government that looks, or ^ should look, lirst to efficiency. I ask now, is the Government so parsi.
