Free from MlHnderouN Asnnalt. Newberry Herald and News. I have wondered why the dally papers would allow so much "rol" to go into their columsand give such latitude td the writers. Their opposition to the dispensary has led them to prostitute their columns. II there has been wrong doing, and no doubt there has beea somewhere, It 1h right and proper to publish the facts, but this column after column of crimination and recrimination and the personal abuse and defamation Is sickening and tiresome and the people bave enough of It. Wben reputable newspapers endorse such writing to the extent that they seek It and admit It to their colums and no gentlemor.

Tbe official record aud doings of any officer belong to the public and tbe public bas a rlgbt to li and I would not withhold it, but this dispensary business started outside of all bounds and stays there. * Tbe newspapers should not forget that they in large measure mould public sentiment and I influence public and private morals and that their efforts should always be to uplift and benefit.

"I wish," "I say," "I like," "I want," "I will," From morn to night, from day today, n "I" was her burden still. J Her school mates would not play with ber t< Her parents tried in vain * s To teaoh her better, and one day z Poor "I" cried out In pain. s "Help me, O farlea!" be besought. "I'm worn toj ust a thread. a Do save me from tbls dreadful child, Or I shall soon be dead v e The fairies beard, and heeded, too, t They caught poor "I" away. b And nursed him into health again ' e Through many an anxious day; t And In bis place they deftly slipped h A broader, stronger letter, s "The more she uses that," they said, v With rouglsb smiles, "the better!" The little maiden wept and sulked At first, and would not speak, But she grew tired of being dumb; t And so, witbln a week She used the substitute; and lo! , Her playmates crowded around, , Her parents smiled, and all were pleased E To hear this novel sound. ? She grew to use It steadily, ? And liked It more and more, ' It came to fill a larger place ; Than "I" had done before; And each year found the little maid J] More kind and sweet and true. 0 Woat was the magic letter's name?

He thinks the bad boy was tbe best, and tbat the good brother wan a {< wblted sepulcher. He liked a boy who was , full of fan and life, and he loved tbe noble : heart wbloh these boys so often possessed. Generous and Impulsive they often did wrong, but their noble natures as often brought them back to tbe paths of rectitude. The cool, calculating boy who was always on his guard In preventing the expression of his Impulses mightbea good boy?and he might be one of the other sort. In forcible and p expressive speech tbe Doctor pictured the i selfishness of the man wno refused to v welcome the return of his wayward brother. ) The Doctor prayed that the flow of blood j| might cease In the Philippines, and that tbe t authorltv of the United Hlates might be felt t and respected throughout the Island. g li . ? t SOMETHING TO REMEMBER. * Rubber Shoen a Complete Protection AkhIiinI Licbtnlnir. 8 Home UJ Llltl nmiuienL uillll;;n ill v. nr. nunu are the most efficacious.

Tbe main cause of a decrease in fund is tbe fact tbat tbe apportionment for last year (through an oversight) was more tban tbe funds actually on band.
