Advertising Rates Reasonable. zatered at Pickens Fustoffice as Second Class Mail Matter PICKENS, S. C.: THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1909 EDITORIAL GRAPE SHOT. Admiration alone will not run a newspaper. Sooner or later such admirers will find that the object lof their affections has become wedded to other ways that they do not admire in other words a newspaper is compelled in order to live, to seek the friendship of those who are not so piatonic in their love, but unite their practical esteem with sentiment that binds mutual ad: miration in other professions. There are too many men who expect an editor to slave in de - fense of their pet notions and hobbies, advocate their views against the strongest opposition and then coolly withhold the business support by which alone a small newspaper can live. Who wouldn't be a farmer There is just one trouble, only the farmers know how to farm. There are thousands of peoplE who would like to quit the towns and cities, take up a life in thE country and possess themselves of broad fertile fields and under. take to make two blades of this, that or the other kind of gras. grow where one, or none, grev before; but .this proposition has its drawbacks, in that it takes from ten to twenty years tc learn how to farm, (some folks never learn) and within such a period bankruptcy might ocem several times over. But if al of us cannot be farmer-s, all car admire the horny-handed sorn of toil and rejoice with him ir his present great prosperity He is the bulwark of the natior and the-salt of the earth. We wonder how many par ents realize that their child is a book of .blank paper in which shall be inscribed the record of their own lives. Be careful, therefore, what you have writ ten there for the world will read it. All your secret thoughts the child will try to write. * The papers of the large cities are all right if you want them, but it is your own home county paper that carries your church notices 'and various society an nouncements, advertises youm schools, boosts every section o1 the field it covers, sympathises with you in your afflictions ani rejoices with you in your pros perity. In short, it is the local paper that mentions the thous and and one items in which yot are interested during the year, and do not find in city papers. How quickly can you tell a live town from a dead one by simply looking over its newspa per. A poor skim-milk sort ol newspaper with a few small ad. vertisements, and those looking. as though they were run at half price, betokens a dead town as sure as a corpse indicates a sun eral, while a good lively well. printed paper, filled with good, fresh ads and1 displayeJ. locals, shows that the town is prosper. ous am1 thriving. It never fails. When the sun shines and the roads become dusty, you wish it would rain; when it rains and the roads gets muady you wish the sun would shine: when you was single you wanted to get married and now that you are married von wish vou were sin gle. and if you get a new dress y-ou wish vou had a new hat to uatch it: if it is a boy you wish it was a girl, and if it is a girl you wish it was twins: and if should be twins you wish tih devil had you-was human nater ever satisfied? Guess not, and glad of it, for then there would be nothing for you to bmk"~ about.
