Dr Cook seems to have first cooked up his data about the North Pole and then doctored it. And now comes an eichauge remarking that the blackest thing abo*t the North Pole "rucus'.' is Matt Hensoc. _ It's a pity that pellagra should be discovered just - as South Carolina farmers are learning how to make big corn crops. A correspondent or me uolumOia State objects to putting a supreme coart building on the Capitol grounds. So do we, or any where else until the State is better able to afford the luxury. Complaint is made that there are uot enough offices in the State House to accommodate the officers. The best 6oluti?n would be to abolish some of the offices. As long m the Legislature continues, to create superfluous offices there j will never be office room enough J to go around. While "in durance vile'' during the next few years Messrs John Y Carlington and J Stobo Young will have time and opportunity to chew the cud of bitter reflection and ponder the world old problem as to who is the bigger fool, the "sucker" who gets fooled or the "wise guy" who does the fooling: "High finance" in South Carolina, as exemplified in the "Seminole Securities" bubble, received a 6e*eie iolt in it* initial stage % O by the conviction of the chief promoter* of the glittering "getrich-rjjick'' enterprise. The "high social standing and excellent iam.ly connection" of tile exponents of "frenzied finance" did: 't oeem to have much weight with. tha*. cold. inconsiderate RichU.:?d county jury.

Our correspondent deserves 1 a hearty response, especially from 1 the class <?t" people most concert.- i ed, for his earnest efforts to t arouse enthusiasm among the ( farmers to improve their con- < ditiou ami dignify their calling. I [ Every suggestion along this line 1 ' by our wideawake and public[ spirited correspondent is worthy I ; of attention and we commend i it to the thoughtful perusal] of < our readers. We bespeak a large 1 'attendance and a profitable ex- i change of ideas at Andrews on < | Farmers' Rally day, uext Toes- i i day, and urge every one who can i , possibly do so to be present. { Some of the less extravagant- 1 |ly inclined members of the I i TT c 1> L-LZ L A.J , nuuse ul ivepnreeuiaut ea pxuieaieu against the expense of the junket- ] ing trips to Winthrop and Clem- 1 son colleges, which, of course, 1 i i will come out of the pockets of j the tax-pavers. But the cost of f railroad fare and entertainment is J ouly the begiuning. Having ac- ' cepted the disinterested (?) hos- ' pitality of these State-supported 1 institutions, how could the big- 1 hearted, philauthropic gentlemen ( who hold the purse-strings of the * State treasury in their fingers refuse j to "loosen up" when the en- j 1 tertaining institutions clamor for < ! bigger appropriations.

If the editor ^ 8< should await the convenience of j those who have something they want published he would not * get his paper out until the next ^ week and theu he would have j. to delay two or three days until ^ some kind friend had made up I his mind about a notice he T wants in^ but which he hasn't ^ beeu able to prepare just to suit him. A great many people t r don't get their notices published j in consequence of this disposition y to put off to the last minute.?Ex. t 1 J How Delays Occur. 5 We try to be accommodating in dealing with our advertisers and * C when we make the time limit for ^ ! receiving change of "copy" Tuesday ( j at noon, that is the extreme limitI Many papers we know of require the , ! change to be handed in by Monday, j noon, and some fix even Saturday <. I for the limit. The individual ad- r ! j vertiser can't understand why, if } I j he brings in his change a few hours ; after the time limit, we protest ' against taking it. lie thinks that it would be a very simple matter to (accommodate him just that one time, And so it would, but we have to treat all alike and if a dozen or ' more a Ivcrtisers demanded their advertisements changed on Tuesday afternoon it would take us until the | next Meek to get the paper issued. 1 Ye !ix the time limit at Tuesday men, counting on most of t Iie diunges coming in before that ime and, as aniatttrof fact they lo, otherwise we would fitul it lifticu't to handle them all, even .hough they came within the time limit. Last week we had three advertisements to come in after the :ioon hour. We tried to be accomodating, as they were only an hour or two late, and we could aot change one aud refuse the jther two-, so we undertook to iccomodate all three of our friends and hired extra help to try to jet the paper out on time. But in spite cf our efforts the paper was twenty-four hours late in jetting to press. No one who has not had experience in a newspaper office can realize how these apparently trivial matters bring about delay. We want to give our readers a full supply of local news each week and also to get the paper out on time, but it is impossible to do both atiless we can get news letters, idvertisements and all articles for * aublication in time to sec the type, ;orrect the proofs and\ make up :orms. ; KINGSTREE GRADED AND I | HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
