TAIJSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1908.
FIVE-DOLLAR- PER-WEEK AUTOCRAT.
We hereby tender the editor
of the Easley Progress an hum
ble and most contrite apology,
and grovel in the very dust of
humility, for having the brazen
audacity to publish an editorial
in the Sentinel-Journal without
first submitting a proof-sheet to
that autocrat of the Piedmont
press for his approval or con
demnation. The fact had entire
ly escaped our mind, when the
article entitled "Humbuggery of
Cost Sales" was published, that
we had in our midst a Pelf-ap
pointed press censor-a jqt of
pin-hook plagiarism on the gov
ernment of Russia-and in our
hurry not to miss the mail dump
ed the thing into our forms and
thought no more about it until
the last issue of the Easley Pro
gress reached us with its broad-;
side of editorial wrath. It wasj
then that we realized our error,
for the motto of the ink-slinger
attached to the Progress seems
to be:
No pet-u*p Ensiq contract" our powers
'The WhOle bot311idles state Ill ovir*,.11
It was indeed a thoughtful act
of kindness on the part of that I
power-behind-the-press at Eas
Iey to so generously lend his $5
per- week intellect to supervising
the colius of our little paper and
keeping ye editor in the right
path. We meekly bow to his
reproof, and pronii,e to go and
sin no more-until the next time
that Easloy, or any other burg,
tries to pahn off on Pickens and
tiUItarv country its refuse or
any sort, kind or
.g that indignant
the pen of the Pro
the conundrum
flashed through our addled brain
(1 %% hlat Ile"t doll, that I-'nsley cwsr feed,
'I'lmat fie Mhould be mo great?
The answer was wafted back
that he was fed upon the prince
ly salary of $5 per week; and
it cannot be expected that the
holder-down of such a lucrative
job could be content with ink
dlaubing on a weekly paper, but
that his brain and talent should
expimnd, like unto the wings of a
sett'mg hen, so as to take in and
cover all neighbering journals.
But in order to palliate our
our trangression as much as pos
sible, we will just here state:
Firstly, wvhen the "Humbug
gery" editorial wvas penned we
had not Mr. O'Dell in our mind1's
eye, as is proven by the fact that
in the same issue appeared a lo
cal stating that Mr. O'Dell, of
Easley, had bought the Roarke
stock of goods, and we under
stood he would move them to a
town in Georgia. So that edito
rial was general in its meaning,
and not directed at any one ini
particular. Sam Jones says the
hit dog always yelps; and if a
fragment from our editorial
brick-bat "lit" in Easley, and
the shoe fits any one there, why
we have no objection to their
wearing it.
Secondly, so far from it being
any case of sour grapes with us,
we will state to that $5-per-weelk
self-*elected press censor that a
a page advertisement was ten
dered this paper by the party
conducting that sale, but he ob
jected that our rates were far in
excess of what the Easley Pro
gress charged for its space.
Now, we do content that we
would have been equally as jus
tified in criticising the Progress
for accepting advertising at such
ruinously low rates, to the detri
ment of all ne!ghborin~g papers,
as had the ?rogress editor to
critigise this paper for the opin
ion,of its editor apre n u

BUt we are. quite d4wihat J
never, we)l, hardy ever cg4in 2
will a sale be attempted' our (
town by adveMsing in, thelas- t
1ey paper. ,Frokia that mu 11de W
of eager and p6verty-stJcken*
buyers who failed'to atten.'that F
sale, Mr. O'Dell will have th,
patriotic privilege of carrying r
back to Easley his almostunbro
ken stock, to distribute among
the poor of that section, When
it conies to such "bargian sales,"
the people.2who trade in Pickens
heartily endo4so that old adage,
"Charity should begin at home."
In fact, as the crowd began to
thin out after a distribution,of
free soap and like stuff, those C
deserving lady salesmen were 6
discharged, and the old phono
graph chartered to enthuse the '
crowd, squeaked out that dole-'
ful wail, 'Home, Sweet Home."1
We suggest that the editor of
Easley Progress read the narra- 0
tive of the fellow who got Inde
pendently rich minding his own
affairs and letting other people's'
business alone. But if he can't
contain himself within the nar
row cofifines of Easley, hemight
migrate to New York and get a
job from Wm. R. Hearst to over
see and keep straight his five ti
daily papers and act as wet
nurse for his new party. Such b
talent as possessed by the Pro- h
gress editor ought to command Ci
something like one dollar per
day in the metropolis. This will t
be a promotion over horn-tooter
for hard-stock sales.
The Progress editor (?) was in h
Pickens nosing around before he -
published that tirade in his pa
per; and as a matter of history
we would like to ask how much
hle begged Mr. O'Dell to give him P
for the roast (?) he thought he le
was giving the Sentinel-Journal?
How cheap did he sell the extra 0
copies of his paper to Mr. O'Dell d,
and with which he flooded oir
town? This gentleman had a
good many extra .copies of his hi
paper giving them away to who- d
ever would take one. He also J,
has out a lot of hand bills saying 01
the sale would continue for ten t(
days longer. di
Evidently there is an "INFLU- E
ENCE" at work onewhere and C
somebody is working devilish o,
hard to offset it. We expressed ol
our private opinion on so-called R
R1
"cost sales" in general, and, as d4
we never heard of the Progress in
editor haVing one of any kind, o
he needn't throw a fit over what 1
we said. The highest proroga-,
tive of a free and unpurchasea- -
ble press, is to expose what its
editor believes to be wrong, and
this our paper ever has done and 0f
w~ill continue to do so long as J.
L. 0. Thompson is at its helm. c<
By the way, a piece of advice
to that Easley editor: If he has ry
any business (?) of his own to at- 2
tend to he will make- a blamed- pr
sight more by minding it and c"
letting other people's affairs
alone; adthen hewillnotmake ta
such a "dam phule" of himself '
(to quote Josh Billings), as he s
does when he tackles things that is
doth not concern him, or that he th
does not know anything about. a'
He had better look closely after 2
that which he is paid to do; oth- '2
erwise he may be a statesman Li
out of a job; and jobs are hard to i'
find that would suit such as our Li
friend who holds down the -tri- ta
pod on the Easley Progress He Li
might again be forced to flee to
the Mountains of Hepsi-dam (we
don't mean that final 'dam' as
cuss word, please bear in mind), ji
to -act as gauger at Some moon-- a
shine still.
