Q-xm ' here seems to me to be noexcuBefor your # ilstake In theae facts as you exchange with j 11 of tbe papers of the State and could easily ave ascertained in wbloh the advertisement ras running. Tbe advertisement 1b not intended solely to dvertise tbe competitive examinations aa " on will see from reading It.and benoetbe lecesslty of advertising in daily papers as all . tber educational lnstltntlons in tbe Stateda The one hundred dollars was tbe whole mount appropriated for al 1 the advertising t f tblB Institution. With this one hundred iollars it was lmpoeslble-to advertise in all of he papers of the State or to advertise for tbe ull time in fifty. Any one who has tried it nows this to be a fact. It was- Intended and is still Intended that hose papers that could not be fully used at his time, for want of money, should be more ully utilized on another occasion. You should not have felt slighted, then, beause the Press and Banner M as offered only me Insertion for this time. And von did rrong to deprive your subscribers or tbe noIce of tbe competitive examination because 'ou were not satisfied with the price offered iy Mr. Logan. Why did you not do with It ,s you did with the Citadel advertisement, ent you by Mr. Logan?put It in and charge nore than tbe amount offered? As a newspaper man you must know that be first few insertions of an advertisement losta great deal more than subsequent lnserlons?that twenty-lour insertions in tbe same / taper will not cost anything like twenty-four lmesas much as the flratlnsertlon, and yet >.mi HoMhoputnlv molrn tho mlBloaHlnar utato. nent that the forty-eight Insertions In the wo dally papers, In which dally Insertions ?ere placed, cost one-fonrth as much as the me hundred and ninety-eight Insertions in be fifty newspapers. Why did yon make uch a statement? I do not object to criticism of any of my els as a publlo servant, bat I do object to the mputatlons upon my honesty of purpose rhlch you have indulged in, and. that, too, rlthout first making any effort whatever to scertain from me the facts. See your first ditorlal. There is now, surely, no excuse for further ault-findlng by you concerning the advertlsng contract of the Wlnthrop College. I have given you the number of papers, flfy, representing every county of tbe State, and you already knew their names from oberving tbe advertisement as it has been runilngln your exchanges,) the number of in serious, 198, and the amount paid for service, 100. Furthermore, I have sent you the cerificates ol two good newspaper mencertifyng to these facts and to the additional fact hat the contract was a good one for this lntltution. I, myself, selected the papers for he advertisement and not Mr. Logan, and I va& governed entirely by a desire toaccomdish most for this institution and the girls of he State. I have shown that you have no ;round for your mischievous assestlon that lolltics governed the distribution of the advertising. You have been Informed by me hat our advertising agent, Mr. Logan, has reurned to the College the unexpended balmce, three dollars, of the money paid him i>r advertising. I have the additional fact to idd, that the advertisement seems to have accomplished Its purpose. Every county in the Itate will be represented in the membership if the Winthrop College when It opens next Vcdnesday. All of these facts should lead ou to acknowledge that you have been hasty nd unjust Iri what you have said about the Vlnthrop advertising. Is it not just possible that your unreasonaleness towards this questiou may beexplaind by your letter of Aus. 3rd, written to me n response ton letter of Inquiry Irom me conerning your tir?t editorial, and which, by the aj, you forgot to publish when you were ublishing the whole correspondence In conectiou wl(h the matter. Here are your words from that letter: "Of course from your standpoint I don't hink that either you or Mr. Logan would do nything that is wrong, but the matter affects ne directly, and I view It from a different tandpolnt. II, for Instance, a public officer hould by any secret arrangement with a citfen, Injure your business by putting money cto the pockets of another, you might not H)K HI llie IIKtl lt-I iriuifuuttuwiuij IU?U 1 uu his arrangement, whereby I am to suffer."
