C. d *#-Pobll8hed every Wednesdp at. 82 t year in advance. i Wednesday, June 8,1904. > "Religions" Advertising?Are the Methods of Donbtful Fairness? The Press and Banner noticed In these col umns a short time ago, that the advertislnf of WInthrop College had been turned overt< } the "Religious" Advertising Agency at Clin ton. SlDce then we have 6een various comments s While we have noticed the absence of anj j semblance of the WInthrop ad in some of oui secular papers, religious newspapers have at : unusually big advertisement of that State In , stltutlon. We have also seen the statement In prim I that about 9400 of the State's money bad beet ? appropriated for advertising WInthrop Col I lege. I This newspaper would not be Impertinent I and would not ask embarrassing questions | But assuming that the parties to this pro ft oeedlng have nothing to conceal, and do noi object to giving the Information we venture to ask. ' First?By what authority of law did Presl dent Johnson assume to shirk the duty, ant IS to turn over the advertising of his college t( i another? Second?Is there any reason why Presldenl Johnson, or other paid officer of the college should not have performed this duty ? | Third?Was there connivance or agreement as to the class of papers in which the Win tbrop ad was to be Inserted ? Fourth?If there was not partiality and fa vorltUm In the management of the funds will President Johnson or tbe "Religious" ad vertlslng agency please explain why some newspapers have such a large advertlsemenl appearing weekly In tbelr columns while s price was offered to others wblch was Insuffl clent to secure the appearance of a verj small advertisement? Flftb--If one dollar Is considered sufficient to pay a secular newspaper for advertising Wlnthrop, bow much was appropriated foi - advertising In each of tbe religious newspa pers ? \ As far as we bave noticed tbe press of tbe s Qtoto ron-orH <r? ''i"QMI/\no" rtroHlloA lions, have been very kind to both Wlnthrof and Tbornwell Institutions. Farther, as far as we have noticed, when there was free advertising to be done, bj either Institution, the secular newspaper! have not been slighted, and we make no com' pSalnton this account. While we know that the charaoter and the reputation of the parties to this proceeding would exclude the possibility of the presence or the existence of things to be concealed, we ask that the whole matter be made plain tc those of us who are outside the charmed clr cie, and who do not quite understand. If 1(X secular newspapers were offered one dollai each, bow much of the State's money did President Johnson or the "Religious" advertising agency appropriate for each of the re liglous newspapers? How much to each o the dally press? If Wlnthrop was a private corporation, do Ing business on Its own account, we would have no right to enquire Into the fairness 01 the unfairness of Its appropriations. A private institution may do aB It pleases, ana may reward Its Irlends or punish others, bul a State Institution, in transacting the busi ness of the State, has not a scintilla of righi to spend the money, except for the good ol the college. _ . ?jKeiiKions-' t.nierjiriMeH. Abbeville Has engaged In many lines of activity. In some Instances the result bat proved the wisdom of tbe undertaking, but In otber instances tbe unwisdom bas been too apparent Following tbe example of tbe "Religious" advertising agency at Clinton, might it not be well for Abbeville to inaugurate some "religious" secular enterprise? There Is hardly room for a "religious" advertising agenoy, but we mlgbt have a "religious" beel market, a "religious" barber shop, a "religious" printing office, a "religious" store, a "religious" eating bouse, or a "religious" drug store. If "religion" Bbould be incorporated into a "religious" eating house, we need not ',y have fears of finding buttons in the hash, or ugly hairs in the butter. If we had a "re liglous" printing offioe, only the most exemplary Bunday school scholars would be em. ployed. If we had a "religious" beef market, the keeper of tbe same would be satisfied with small profits, if bis "religious" customers oould be Induced to pay their bills. Il these "religious" institutions did not become close corporations, from whlcb ordinary mortals were excluded great good would result. "Religious" is a good word with which to conjure Innocent gudgeons. Sad Accident to Little Ralph EdwnrdH in AnflArann. AndersoD, June 8.?By the accidental discharge of a p&rlor rifle In the bands of bis young brother this afternoon, little Ralpb Edward, Bis years of age, was Bbot through the head and fatlly wounded. It Is not thought that be will live through tbe nigbt. The child is a son ot Mr. and Mrs A. M. Edwards of Monterey, Mexico. Mrs. Edwards and lamlly are spending tbe summer here with Mrs. Edward's mother, Mrs. Mary Brown, but Mr. Edwards is in Mexico. The family Is one of the oldest In tbe city and tbe news of tbe accident shocked every one. We are grieved to learn that the above \ mentioned accident resulted fatally. Both Mr. and Mrs. Edwards are well known in Abbeville, Due West belDg the former home of Mr. Edwards. He has been laboring for some time in Mexico as a missionary from the A. R. Presbyterian Church. New Court Home. Instead ofoflerlng for sale only the shutters of the tobacco barn, It has been suggested tbat tbe whole structure be sold, and a new and up-to-date building be erected in a more suitable part of tbe city, where tbe courts may be beldaDd wberetheofllcersmay have places assigned for their work. It would seem tbat apiogresslve town like Abbeville should have a publio building in keeping with tbe Intelligence, tbe public 6plrlt and the ability of our people, as good a Court House as can be found anywhere.

J "Flagpoles," said a inau who make? t them, "are the pick of the forest whence <; they come. Up to 00 feet in length, and rj this would include the great majority, they are commonly of spruce; flagpoles more than 60 feet long are of pine. "The spruce poles come from New ? Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The pino t poles come from northern New York and i Michigan. ? "Up to 50 feet in length and a 50 foot ? staff would be counted a good, big staff. * Flagpoles cost, all set up, truck on the top and halyards rove, ready to bend on . the flag, from $1 to $1.25 a foot. The 1 cost depends somewhat on the pole and ' somewhat on the situation, the latter f question involving the diiliculties attend- I ing setting the pole up. Louger poles ^ cost proportionately more. A 7D foot pole might cost, set up ready for use, $150. Flagpoles for buildings are sometimes made up to 80 feet in length, but not often. "A 50 foot pole of the usual proportions, which would be 10 inches in diameter at the butt and 4 inches at the top, would weigh about 850 pounds. A 75 foot pole -would weigh about 1,500 pounds, so that when you put up a pole of that size you would be standing upon one end a weight of three-quarters of a ton. "Of course the flagpole must be securely set up. There are two ways of mounting a flagpole. One is to step it, running the lower end of the pole through the roof as you would run a mast through the deck of a boat. The other way is to set the butt of the pole in a shoe placed on the roof. The very tallest poles are always stepped through the roof. "A good flagpole, properly put up and properly cared for, is long lived. It might wear as long as the building on which it was placed. A flagpole really ought to be painted every year. Flagpole painting is done by the riggers employed by flagpole makers, by steeple climbers, by men who ?nake a business of it, who go about seeking flagpoles to paint. To have a flagpole carefully and properly painted costs, noonrdlnir tn thf BlZd of tllO Dole. S5 tO E $i6: "Flagpoles are made nowadays rather longer, if anything, than formerly. Their greater length is to make them more nearly proportionate to the higher buildings. "There are now sold more fiagstaffs than ever before in proportion to the population. The law requiring the flying of the flag from sehoolhouses has increased the actual number of poles, and the presence of those poles and the flying of th? flag from them has prompted the raising of other, poles. I think also that people [ are more likely now to put up flagpoles than they formerly were; anyway, that they have more disposition now than ever to show their colors."?New York Sun. * t ELEVATORS SAVING DAYS' WORK. T Fismres of an Old Man Who Once Ji Climbed Weary Stairs. r Recently an old man stood in the cor- fc ridor of a big ofBce building, with watch e in hand, making figures from time to time on the back of an envelope, 'mere . were many who wondered what he was doing. * He was computing how much time the ^ modern elevators in our high buildings t save to men in a day, and to one who a spoke to him he told how for years, ^ away back in the sixties, he had worked ^ in the sixth story of a building which was then one of the highest in the city or the country either, for that matter; E how, though young and spry then, he to had dreaded that climb up six sheer stair n flights; how the men in the place would t draw lots to see who at luncheon time ^ should make the journey to the street to ^ buy cakes and pie for the noonday meal, and how he had at times gone without . his luncheon rather than use up so much strength in climbing the stairs. It took r a minute and a half then for a young D man to go up, he said, but the manager of the factory, who was more than 50 a years old and somewhat rheumatic, al- j ways spent four minutes in the upward ^ struggle. "I was just figuring on the time saved ? by this modern appliance," the old man 11 continued, "and I calculate that it is at to least four minutes for every young man t who goes to the twenty-fifth floor and ten minutes for your 'elderly gentlemen.' e These express elevators, stopping only ~ above the thirteenth floor, average 45 seconds in reaching the top. Of course we wouldn't have 20 or 30 story struc- ? tures if the modern elevator manufac- ^ turers had not kept pace with the architects and builders, but I am arguing from s the other side." And he showed an ar- f ray of figures to prove that in a day's f average business, in which 2,500 passen- r cers are carried, two whole workinj? - days are pained. His young friend did . not dispute him. It is in New York, of course, with its P score of buildings that are 14 stories high and over, that the elevator has reached its greatest development. In the matter of speed the makers have vied g with one another until 800 feet a minute 4 is the rate at which the cars can be propelled. This means to the twentieth floor of a building in 30 seconds, a velocity that is gained by a multiplication of Q gear wheels over which the car cables b run.?New York Post s 8 Why- He Was Successful. ? The fact that success is mainly due ^ hard work has been expressed in man. r different ways, but one of the best wa9 that recently employed by a very success- ? ful commercial traveler. He was talking ? with a companion, a rather lazy fellow, B when the latter exclaimed: 1 "I declare, Jack, I can't understand 1 why you always succeed in selling so many more goods than I do!" "I'll tell you why it is," replied Jack. "But," he added, "it's a trade secret, and you mustn't tell it to everybody." j "Of course I wouldn't do such a thing," 1 * was the answer. 1 c "Well, then," said Jack impressively, <!

In a country as large as that in vhich we live, with the greater part of ts producing rogions widely separated "rom the markets which they serve, he matter of transportation is one of rast importance.', writes lion. Martin Dodge In Forum. This applies partlcuarly to our agricultural products; for, vhile a great portion both of our manlfactured output and of our farm growth must be moved long distances )y rail or water before reaching a market, practically all of the latter must dso be transported for greater or less ' listances over the public highways. The question of marketing these agri:ultural products, amounting In the Jnited States to $1,000,000,000 annualy, on torms that this dealer can afford I :o pay and the grower to accept, often educes Itself to a question of cheap md quick delivery; In other words, to ] t question of economical transportailon. As far as the railways and steamship ines are concerned, this problem ha a , jeen dealt with very intelligently and latisfactorlly. Skill and money have >een applied without' stint to the pro rislon of enlarged means of conveyance, improved ways and increased >ower. These Influences, under the itress of strong competition, have reluced long distance freight rates to a easonable level. There is one phase of this transportaion problem, however, which has approached no satisfactory solution. That 8 the matter of wagon road hauL As ias already been said, while the greatjr part of our farm products travels by rteamship, canal or railway for a porion of the Journey to market, virtually ill of them are conveyed for some disance over the public highways. It is mfortunate that this is often the most (xpensive part of their journey. It has >een shown by mathematical demonitration that It costs more to move a jushel of wheat or a ton of hay ten nlles over the average country roads >f the United States than to transport he same burden 500 miles by railway >r 2,000 miles by steamship. It has lappened many times In different parts >f the country that farmers have let :rops go to waste because the cost of laullng them to the nearest market or ailway shipping point over wretched md ill kept roads amounted to more j1 nan couici De reanzeu ior xueiii anervard; whereas, If good roads on which leavy loads could be hauled hnd been it hand, the same crops could have )een marketed at a small profit to the >roducer, while the economic gain remltlng from their application to useful mrposes would have been very consld Table. HIGHWAYS OF EUROPE/ France Leads In Syntem of Building and Maintenance. Two hundred years ago England had he worst roads In the world because he peasantry living on the roads alone rere required to work them, says the Lmerlcan Asphalt Journal. In speakog of them Jlacaulay says "that a oute connecting two great towns which lave a large and flourishing trade with ach other should be maintained at the ost of the rural population scattered etween them is manifestly unjust. It pas not until many toll bars had been lolently pulled down, until the troops iad in many Instances been forced to xrt against the people and until much ilood had been shed that a good system fas introduced." Every class now contributes to the aalntenance of the road system In Engind. The French have probably the aost efficient laws and regulations In he world for the building and repairag of highways. The minister of pub Ic works has the general superintendnee of all roads and ways by land and y water. There are four classes of oad recognized by law?namely, (1) atlonal, (2) departmental, (3) military, i) crossroads. National roads are built nd kept up by the national treasury. )epartmental roads are a charge upon he departments through which they ass, and part of the military roads are ept up by the government and part y the departments through which the oads pass. The crossroads are kept up by the ommunes, though sometimes in thinly opulated regions these communes reelve assistance from the government specially when these roads become of mportance. The national roads are paved like a treet, having an average width of 52% eet. The departmental roads are CO eet wide, and the military and crossoads are of variable width. Piles of iroken stone are placed at convenient Jstances, and a man is constantly em>loyed in repairing each section. Concerning: Side Ditches. When the road is in an excavation, Teat care should be taken that a side a litch is provided on each side to carry way the water so that it shall not run lown the middle of the road, as Is freinently the case. Every road should tave side ditches, even one that runs traight down the side of a hllL The teepest road needs the side ditch most, >ut often has none. Frequently the rater runs down the middle of the oad on a side hill and wears it into { rallies, which are a discomfort and I >erhaps dangerous in both wet weather md dry. The water must not be sufered to run in the road, but must be oade to run off the road. Cities and Roads.
