The letter was from the Lewis-Seabrook Co., of Atlanta, and "was in the nature of an advertising contract for the H. G. Hastings Co. After giving instructions as to the proper insertion of the cuts, the letter stated that the agency would pay as our regular rate, whetever it was, without any commissions or discounts.

We think our friends of the trade can attest that fact, and we want to com mend the Lewis-Seabrook Co., for seeing the light. They all will, some day, but this is the first time in our newspaper experience that an agency * has offered to pay our regular rate without a lot of correspondence. B> the way, if we are not mistaken, Mr. Seabrook is a South Carolinian. IN THE PALMETTO STATE. Happenings of Various Kinds in The State of South Carolina. The Edgar F.
