NEWSPAPER POSITIONS. Sometimes Difficult to Give Certain Articles Prominent Place. The following article clipped from the Conway Herald contains so much * that is true and not known to the genera] reader of a newspaper that we want our readers to get the benefit of it. We, as doubtless every other newspaper, have had these complaints about obscure position, when it has not been the fault of the editor at all. As a matter of fact, outside of the editorial and local column,we never know what page or position any article will occupy. That is left entirely to the printer o: "make-up" man, who distributes and places the various "pieces" he has in type according totheirlength. It is no small task to make two or tiree dozen pieces of columns of tvne fit into a six-column form. *v r"? ? - " so that the page may be "locked up" ready for the press, and the busy printer, as a rule, is wondering far more where a certain article will "fit in" than what column or page it will occupy. It is a fact little known to the uninitiated that after the type is set it requires from three to four hours to "make up" each form of the paper (a form containing from two to four pages, as a rule). Then comes the work of making ready on the big press?getting _ the impression regulated, the ink distributed, etc. Then comes the printing,folding, labeling, wrapping and mailing two thousand papers, A "country" printing office is a busy 8?ene Wednesdays and Thursdays. That is why we haven't time to set much type on those days The following is from the Horry Herald: In addition to the numerous other troubles and tribulations of the newspaper man is always added the fault-finding and complaints of certain people who think that they have a right to dictate to the editor the exact way in which his paper shall be conducted,even down to the mat ter or wnai special position on tne printed page he shall give to certain articles written by them or in which they feel some special interest. We had an example of this a short time ago, when a man who has taken the paper for many years wrote us to discontinue his subscription for the reason, and no other, that an article he had contributed had been printed on an inside page. How small such a complaint as this appears to one who is familiar with a newspaper office, the one who makes such a complaint will perhaps never know. In the case that we here mention.there was not even a special request sent with the article to publish it on the front page. As it seems to the editor, any contributor ought to know that the paper and its management will do the very best they can for him and his needs. This is the attitude that a man ought to have. Should any request be denied or modified in the performance, take it for granted that the editor of the paper naa gooa reasons ior rne course he took and wait for better attention the next time. The contributor of an article does not know the circumstances surrounding the paper and its managemeat at the time the article reaches its office. How can he know the exact state of the type forms and the space that is available at that particular time? From the way some people act, it appears that they do not think that it is any trouble at all to publish a newspaper. They think that it is just as easy to get an article in the ^ . paper and print it as it is to strike it off on a typewriter or duplicating machine. If their sort would spend wiArtb il* 0?IT AAnnfwiT a wccit in VIIC vulvae ui aiij wumij newspaper and thus understand the difficulties,the perplexities, the worry and the nerve-racking trouble that is the portion of the printer, they would henceforth and forever refrain from raising complaints such as that above referred to. As we have already said,give the paper the credit for doing the best it can under the circumstances for every one of its readers,and then you will have the right feeling toward it. You will be treating the editor as a neighbor and a friend. The newspaper has to depend upon the support of the public to keep it going. Therefore the editor is obliged to serve the public in the very best way he can. But he cannot do everything. Time is too short and circumstances will never permit his giving to every man at all times the exact things he demands. Remember this and refrain from adding your little complaint and criticism to the thousands of other troubles that fall to the lot of the newspaper publisher. fores Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Core The worst cases, no matter of how long standing, are cured by the wonderful, old reliable Dr. Porter's Antiseptic Healing Oil.

Saturday afternoon an unusually large crowd was seen gathering around a wagon on West Main street. At fir^t it was thought that soin serious accident had occurred. But upon investigation it Was discovered that George W M Jones, an angler of much repute, had hooked something out of the ordinary along the piscatorial line. It was a sturgeon, caught in the Pee Dee river, a few miles west of here, Saturday morning. The fish weighed 197 pounds and was seven feet long. Mr Jones was carving and selling as though it were ** TU a nroc 9A nun I C A UU^r UCCli 1I1C |JIiv.c noo KV VVIIID per pound. A large amount of roe was also obtained. This by-product, it was understood,was to be shipped to Northern markets at a price of $1.50 per pound. It was stated on good authority that this one fish would net the lucky angler about $100 in cash. The sturgeon is practically boneless. Its spine is a cartilaginous substance which may be used also. As a result of this lucky haul the boys who had laid aside their tackle for the summer are rigging up again and it is expected that the Pee Dee will be alive with expectant fishermen for some time yet.?

Don't Let Baby Suffer with Eczema and Skin Eruptions. Babies need a perfect skin-covering. Skin eruptions cause them not only intense suffering, but hinder their growth. Dr Hobson's Eczema Ointment can be relied on for relief and permanent cure of suffering babies whose skin eruptions have made their life miserable. "Our baby was afflicted with breaking out of the skin all over the face and scalp. Doctors and skin specialists failed to help. We tried Dr Hobson's Eczema Ointment and were overjoyed to see baby completely cured before one box was used," writes Mrs Strubler, Dubuque,Iowa. All druggists, or by mail, 50c.
