THURSDAY, FEBRUARY ti 1900. ERRORS IN TRANSMISSION: Anyone who edits a coun-j try newspaper, or any oiner sort for that matter,, becomes in a measure accustomed to typographical errors that renders his writing oftimes absurd. A single letter in a word sometimes changing a whole sentence, and making it absurdly meaningless and very j humiliating to the long-suffering editor. As a rule we do not attempt to correct or apologise for these seemingly inevitable errors, however grotesquely distorting are tfieir ettect,.taking it tor granieu. that our intelligent readers are sufficiently indulgent to translate, what we appear to say as nearly as possible what wo mean to express. In looking over the last issue of The Record, however, we- teel that some apology is due for the unfortunate mistakes that crept into our leading editorial. This article was sent bv telegram as a j ^special,'' the writer not being.! able to send it by mail early enough;..and in the several transcriptions it is not remarkable that the mutilation resulted. To say ^thej&^wwrVchildren," instead of the former's must make some change of meaning, and the substi[ lotion of unfortunate for importu- ' natc is indeed unfortunate in effect. 1 Institute for institution might be ; overlooked, but to say the State's! chief executors for its Chief Executive is decidedly open to criticism. Then agreement"and argu merit'am not exactly synonymous, J and the using of one for the other; makes an awkward confusion of; [ . meaning. This explanation is made as an ; apology lor anything.in these colums that is unintelligible. We} try to avoid being abstruse at all times, and any assertion that smacks ot mystery of meaning is ' usuallv attributable to the tricks' * of t he tvpes. i: | _ |! TO SMASH THE TRUST. |. I Every newspaper in the Slate, \ anil in the United States, should ( L 1 j at once address an appeal toils;1 I i representatives m. Congress to have the tariff of six dollars a ton ( lemoved from wood pulp, from r papfcr is manulactured. t| I f We are in the grasp of a motiop-j olv, which is gradually crushing the life out of every one connected i with the printer's trade. In order to print i! is necessary to havej papery and for the past twelve months all kinds of printing ma-! terial have gone up in juice, and are still advancing so rapidly as I to cause serious apprehension to Niose who ply the printer's-art. ! The quickest ana surest way ?u gain relief is to pet the tariff re-1 ferred to repealed. Tins would i speedily . smash the com- j bine and bring printing material j . ? to a price where a living margin of profit can he made. While one newspaper can accomplish but little, ii we all take it up and pass along the cry, we are bound to wim Let us aot in concert for our self protection. The candidaev of iMr. Barnwell , * I in the first district, has evoked no little newspaper discussion in all parts of the State. There is hardly a doubt as to the ultimate result. The people of Charleston want Mrv Barnwell 10 represent them, and he is as good as elected. * " .1?1 AtlU lor OUCe iney na\e muuc uu mistake. Col. Elliott has rendered valiant service, but needs now a season ol' rest and recreation. The election of Mr. Barnwell will be a distinct gam not alone to the First District but to the whole State.?Sumter Freeman. One important question for each iarmer to decide at once is how much fertilizer he is going to buy. The manufacture of this article is in the hands of a bi<r trust, and the price has been raised. The only offset or redress 'hat the larmer has. is the option of buy ing as little or as much as he pleases. lie should study to diminish tha amount purchased without incurring risk of diminishing the crop yield. This can he done by making more manure on the farm, by better preparation, and better cultivation.?Uaffney Ledger. The rise in paper is really get- i ting serious 1 or the newspapers of the country and one by. one they are announcing that they hav.e| lound it necessary to raise the' price of their, papers to $1.50 or $2.! One thing is certain. The papers!, cannot afford tosend out copies to j people w.ho are careless about ; paying for it. As tire price isl now., many papers are sending' out more than a dollar's worth of j1 paper, not counting the cost ot j1 anything.connected with .the print-!' ing or the mailing for the price ol 1 one dollar,.and it is said tlmt the ' prce is still rising.

It is his business to fight, and like tlitapostie he says:. "This one thing I do." This conception of energy and supreme devotion to profes- j sional duty may not impress us as ' representing the highest type of ^ human evolution, but it/ is certainly quite different from the point of view of the ordinary citi- ] zen--so ditrerent that in reading Lood Roberts' story we are con tinuallv reminded that he is- pract-!} ically a denizen of another world. JWe do not feel this in relation to ' many soldiers. General Gordon lor instance, although a brilliant officer, devoted to the array, never [ sank the man it*, the soldier, but aiwavs remained philanthropist, statesman, humorist, and religious genius beneath his regimentals. It wo ild be unkind to say that 1 Lord Iioberts is a soldier and nothing else, but he is certainly saturated through and through with the atmosphere ol' the camp.
