As a rule t t newspaperman knows what '? pr nt, and lie seldom prints r. ythicg that, ought not to be painted. ^brsons could often help a rr* spa per man very much by jmi;g him items of news or jelling him where he could iind i*ws?giving a slight hint is of. all that is necessary.

The foregoing is f ?m the Newterry Observer, which we hearty endorse. A very common arristake is lor a person having li?i>wledge el an important item iff to take it tor grant* d tfsnt the newspaper man knows di about it and, therefore, does mi mention the matter to him u< all.

Kotton Statistician Neill, who ? 13 accidentally killed in New f-Vl a is a few days ago, by being! rtrnek by a street car, was some ^'irs ago regard'd as Hie high est authority in the United States ^Mr on crop estimates. H ? figures '1 rarely failed to materially affeci the die market one way or the other, in t accotuing lo whether they were froi bullish or bearish. Especially Oh< in the eyes of the English spin- due ners was his judgment regarded we< as almost infallible. eng 11 ; ? Spr Charleston voted for Ansel poi with almost as much unanimity mu as did Thorn well, in Lancaster ser county. In the first primary ty < rhorn well's entire vote, 14 in at t number, was cast for Ansel.? hat In the second race Thorn well in I gave him 9 out ol 10 votes. Ansel con received in Charleston 2008 votes wh out of 2342. "V^ants to Kidnap Ansel." The News and Courier fires the following broadside at our friends wv over the state line: , , bet The Charlotte Observer says i?ot that if the picture of Mr. Mar |a(1 tin F. Anse', who has been no- ,jir initiated for Governor of South 8jrj (Carolina, be a correct likeness, er j "and Mr. A. C. Miller, of Sliel- ,j,a by, could have him locked up or j staked out somewhere on inau- jnj, guration day he could appear at eon the Capitol in Columbia aud be a n inaugurated himself" or ! Here it is ?g lin. Our neigh- m0 bora are always busy trying to j make capital for themselves at no the expense of other people, jj They have claimed for a hun (jov dred years or mora that they 0e j were the first American Colonists to declare their inlepen- j deuce of Great Britain. This 0* myth has been mashed, but it lJn( still survives. They have tried ^j1{ tosieal Andv Jackson and now u0. the proposition is seriously m ide hir to kidnap Ansel. Betore we would consent to taKe any part in such an enter- an< prise, we should like to he in- tin formed how Mr. A C. Miller, wh of Shelby, stands on the dispen cai saiy question. In the days when the L'opulists wore ll<j 11 r- / /, idling, tlioir battle cry was the "sub-treasury or something ? better." If it can be shown that J,, "Mr. A C. Miller, of Shelby,*' C1d j is ' something better"on dispell- in amy proposition than Mr. Ansel, wh we might bo willing to aid in rec tho deception which our Char- o'li lotto contemporary seriously lai poposes. j tlu I'o coi SurrenH/'ut K.rfH'rimeut with the (j1(] Tt'JTMM ill'/ Hull (Jottoil. ,,, Mr. Albert Blakeney, one ol ll1' ? 4 i i t h the model farmers c.f the Antioch section, brought us Saturday 7 /< I specimen bolls of his pa'ch ol the Texts Big Moll cotton.

'lie Rev. P. B. Ingrahnm, of East Lancaster Circuit, was ,own Saturday, en route home 11 Pleasant Grove church, in jster county, where he conted a successful meeting last ^k.
