Waterpower to be Developed. Lexington, Special.-A large forc< of hands has been at work for severa days at Dreher's ferry on the Salud? rivez, preparatory to developing th water power at that place. Il; hai been rumored for several weeks thai this property would shortly hi de veloped, bul; not until the actual worl was begun could the report be veri fled. It is stated that the promoter! of the Augusta-Aiken-Columbia Elec trie .

Twa Fires at Hurtsville. - Hurtsville, Special.-Hurtsville bad two fires Saturday night in; diff?rent parts of the town and at. the same time, and for a while it looked ball for the business section located around the freight depot. About 9 o'clock an alarm was sounded for a burning unoccupied tenement house, on the property of Mr. G. C. Twitty, and while the fire department was down there with almost the entire town as- spectators ' an alarm : was sounded- from right in the heart of the business section over a half mile away. Fortunately the . department had just extinguished the first . fire, and they hurried the apparatus and all the reserve hose to the scene of the new fire which proved .to be the wooden store owned and occupied by L. M. Johnson, with a general mer chandise stock and an undertaking department. The store of Johnson was fruited, as was the store of Rubin. The Har ris Music Company's .store suffered some. Smaller merchants nearby must have suffered considerable loss by moving out, their stock. The losses are but partly covered by in surance. Possibly ten thousand dol-' lars will cover the total. The two smultane?usi fires caused much excite ment. Appsaling for Simmons. Anderson, Special.-Attorney, A. Dagnall .has completed necessary pa pers, it is understood, in appealing to the supreme court of the State from the circuit court in this county which found Webb Simmons guilty of. the murder of Deputy McAdams and -xhich . sentenced Simmons to hang on July 23 n^xt. Mr. Dagnall will appear before the highest court of the State for a stay in the sen tence until the case can be heard by that court. The cases of this, the tenth, district, will be reviewed fr" the supreme court late in the Nfall, and will extend until then. Simmons, in the meantime, is quietly spending his time in the county jail. It will be recalled inat he fired on McAdams as he (McAdams) was trying to quiet or arrest him in the ' village of the Orr mills last February. Simmons was in a drunken condition. He is a white man of about 22 years of age and worked in a mill. Bock Hill Treasurer Short. Rock Hill, Special.-A shortage exists in the office of Treasurer. C. S. May, who for a number of years has been in the employ of the city. This much is known, ?not because ^anyone "unearthed" it, but because Mr. May himself went to his bondsmen and so stated. He gives the amount as $6, 100, and the amount was made good, not by Mr.' May's bondsmen, but by himself. After Mr. May's confession to his bondsmen there were many ru mors afloat, but they were merely ru mors, and it was the intention" of the press, local papers, and correspond ents, to await the official statement from the council which is baring an examination made by the American Audit Company. Mr. May has many friends here who deeply regret his trouble. . Storm Sweeps Greenwood. Greenwood, . Special.-Greenwood was subjected late Wednesday after noon to a terrific wind, hail and rain storm. The damage over^ the town and county was very heavy! The dam age in the city and. nearby consists mainly of destruction of dwellings, tarns, trees, etc., there being no ser ious effects as to the injury of per sons. As a result of the hail and rain the already peor crops of the county were damaged to a great extent and the farmers have added a desrree or two of gloom to their expression.

Lexington, Special.-With contin ued rains, almost daily, the farmers are experiencing great difficulty in keeping down the grass. In some sections it is reported that late'plant ings of cotton have had to 'be thrown away, and the land planted in peas. Corn and cotton are drowned out, and there is not much hope for any thing like a full crop, even with fa vorable "weather conditions from now until the corn is made. Greenville Drug Store P?obbed. Greenville, Special. - Several nights ago the drug store of T. E. "fthame was broken open by robbers and fifteen watches and a lot of fin? jewelry were taken.

COUNTRY WEEKLY? > By JAS, W: ATKINS, of The Gastonla \ Gazette. The following interesting pa] was read at the recent meeting of 1 North . Carolina Press Association Hendersonville : ' "Is the cash-in-advance syst the best for th? country weekly/ a question which has been debat pro and con, I dare say, by nea: every owner and editor of a count weekly in North Carolina, the sai being no less true of every otl State in the nation. One of t. most vexing problems of all' t knotty tangles the country news] per man has to deal with at i it has frosted the. temples and kriii led the faces of more than one that yaat array of men and worn who are devoting their lives to thi country's good-the editors and c itresses, the owners and managers the weekly and semi-weekly pape over the land. Some few of: tbe? it is pleasant to note, have ceased debata the question. They ha pigeon-Lolded it-or inore approp: ately-have waste-basketed it for J time to come. They are still few number but the list ..is lengtheni: and will, I hope, continue to do ? hot only steadily but rapidly. The are the ones who have decided t question once and for all in the ? firmative and are steadfastly abidii by the results. Prom the foregoing you will rea ily and easily gather that I take t affirmative side of this questic Looking at it by and largely, iii t light of ten years experience as country editor, I do not hesitate answer.the question with a "yes that can be heard by all who are i terested. The reasons why, I thin are plenty and sufficient and I sh; endeavor to present them to y< breifly. Before doing so, howeve I beg leave to forestall possib questions and crif'^isms of niyse by stating that not all the subscribe on my list are paid in advance, can say, however, and that truthful -this not by editorial or poetic license, either^-that during the thr years I have actually been an ow: er and manager of a country week j I have largely increased the perceu age of my paid-in-advance subscri ers and have at the same time, co: siderably increased the number < my actual subscribers. And I co: fidently expect, before the lapse < any very considerable length of tim to finaly dispose forever of that gei tleman so well known to us all, "tl subscriber in arrears." In the first place I will say tin the casb-in-adva'nce system is tl best for a country weekly because requires cash to operate a newspapc With employes to pay every Satu day aftemo?n, rent, paper and su] ply bills-to say nothing of grocei bills-to meet every thirty days, tl editor must have money.' Where : the cash to come from? Once in great while, it may be, one rur across a man with money to bur running a newspaper for the fun c the thing, but such cases are so rai that this gentleman I leave out c the'argument. Such a one can, it : ?vtrue, operate a ?newspaper and let h: subscribers pay when they pleas but,such is not true of the great mi jori ty of ns. Under ordinary conditions th country newspaper has three source of revenue-subscriptions, advertis ing and job printing departmen My experience has, been that the ac vertiser and the patron of your jo department pays his bills at the en of the month-every thirty days just as he does his grocery, mea clothing or church account. Wh should not the subscriber pay as h goes, which means, in effect, in ac vance ? So far as my observation has ei tended the newspaper is the only ir stitution or enterprise in all tb land which extends credit for twelv months. The grocer doesn't do i the butcher doesn't do it, the dr goods man doesn't do it-no bus ness concern does it. Ask them wh and the prompt reply is that the cannot afford it because they' ha\ to pay the wholesale man or the jol ber for their goods as they get then The same ap];lies to the newspape: If there is a paper, type, ink or sir] ply house that habitually extenc credit for twelve months I would lit to have their addresses. They sa it is not business-like. If not bus ness-like for them, how can it be s for the newspaper man? Again, the cash-in-advance systei is the best because if you do not "gc your money in advance' you may nc get it at all. Some one may objec to this statement on the ground tba it is a reflection on the honesty an integrity of your constituency, ? you home people.- But it is not. Ther are some newspaper readers, it i true, to whom this criticism does nc apply but I speak only the trat I when I say that many people, consit . ered scrupulously honest and uprigh . citizens of the community, men wh ! would resent as an insult any int: ? marion that any accounts they migb " make are not absolutely as good a '? gold, will and clo let their subscri]: '? ^tion account with the home pape ! run indefinitely and then, on soru 1 slight pretext, refuse to pay. I d . not think I am a pessimist, but have had sufficient experience t know that the average mau concern . himself less about the payment c 1 his subscription to his local nape > than he does regarding any oth? - debt lie owes. Granting, howeve - that seventy-five or eighty per cet - of your subscribers arn men whoi ; you are perfectly willing to cred - for twelve months and as to thc pa;, s mcnt of, whose subscriptions you ai . reasonably assured, bow about tl 2 other twenty cr twenty-five ppr cen ? whose accounts represent most,. : t not all, your siibpi\ripiHin proCl ?' These are comprised hihrcly in tL BJ floating rrpuhtion, a class which c eiy pullisher has to take into coi . ' t i * ' ' . . sideratioOL.. What editor qr publish er is not thoroughly familiar with the little' bide card which Uncle Sam so often brings him bearing the oft repeated legend, "removed, address unknown?" Iii ninety-nine ; eases' out of a hundred the publisher finds on referring" to his books,; that the dear subscriber alluded to on the card is considerably in arrears and I dare say that, on au average, not ten per cent of such subscription ac counts is collectable. The subscrib er whose label date is in ?dvance of the current date rarely moves and fails to leave his new. .address with the postmaster. Hore . often, than otherwise he will notify you himself to change his paper. In the third place the ' cash-in-ad vance system is the best because it is the cheapest, that is it gives you a larger per centage of profit on each individual subscriber. -By eliminat ing a large part of the bookkeeping, the time and cost of making out and mailing notices and statements, it saves- to the publisher a fair profit. In addition it relieves him of worry, mental anguish ?md gray hairs. In this connection it might'- be added that the profit on a dollar weekly or on a dollar and a half pr two dollar semi-weekly is small enough at the very best and . the publisher who takes two great a risk bn any one of his sources bf? revenue is -committing slow suicide-not very slow either. Again, the cash-in-advance system is the best because it is. the fairest. The American people love fairness j and demand it. I cannot see the I justice in granting John Jones credit on subscription for twelve or twenty ffour months and requesting. Bill Smith to pay in advance.. One rule for all is the best in every bus iness, the making of newspapers in , eluded. I Still another argument in ;:avor of i the cash-in-advance system is that it is in line with the general tendency I in all lines of trade and business. Telephone Companies, railroi.ds and other public service corporations re quire cash in advance while there are more spot cash^ stores in the country to-day than ever before. The credit system is a mill-stone around the necks of the people and will, I firmly believe, within z' generation or two, be largely a thing of the . past. The only reason, so far as I have been able to figure it out, why the newspaper makers Lave not kept pace with their brethren in other lines is simply because they lack the nerve to make the leap. Right here in conclusion, I am go ing to take some liberties with my ! text and side-step for a final word. My subject does not , place upon me the burden of telling how you may successfully establish the cash-in-ad vance system, my duty being merely to answer, as I see it, the question. "Is* the cash-in-advance system the best for the country w?ekly, ". and give my reasons for the ground ta ken. There is only one way, in my opinion, in which this system can be successfully worked. It is to make your paper worth the money, make it comprehensive in the field which it covers, so thoroughly reliible, so prompt, clean and up-to-date that it is an indispensable requisite in^the homes of your people^ then say to each subscriber as he come.;, "our terms are cash-in-advance Jo all .alike" and you will get tt?rmoney. Kot only so, but you will; I believe, materially increase your pa?ronage, you will command the respect and admiration of your constitue ats and you will certainly have a bett ^r opin ion of yourself and a larger tank ac count.

ThVsSth Annual Convention of South Carolina Jouranalists Take in the Mountain ' City-Clemson College Visited. Greenville, Special-Welcomed ... to Greenville in characteristic Green ville manner and ; with true South Carolina hospitality, extended every courtesy by city officials, business men, local press representatives and assured that "policemen are all asleep while editors roam; around," the members of the South Carolina State press association gathered here. Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night in the handsome new. Ottaray hotel. Unto them was the key to Greenville turned over and- with it they have unlocked the door leading directly to the home and the hearts and the minds of Greenville people. In a brief address Mayor Mahon welcomed the editors and their wives and their.sweethearts and their daug ters. With dramatic effect he pre sented them with a huge key which he assured all would turn the lock that held back the beasties and the secrets of Greenville. "Wednesday morning the editors held a business meeting in the Otta ray assembly room, this beins: fol lowed by a trip to Clemson college, a train load of newspaper" people en joying the afternoon cn the Clemson campus and in visiting the various departments of the institution. At the morning sessions papers were read by Mr. A. H. Seats of The State, Columbia; M. P. Felder of the Dor chester Eagle, W. W. Smoak, Jr., of thf WaLcrboro Press and Standard and T. H. Coker, Jr., of the Hurts ville Messenger. ? At Clemson. Members of the . association and their friends, numbering over 108, visited Clemson college in the after noon and were met by President Mell, members of the board of trustees and the faculty for an inspection of the j entire institution. The "Press" Welcomed. President Mell welcomed the mem bers of the press party and explain ed that the invitation was extended in order that the newspaper men might see exactly how. the college was conducted.' He regretted that the visitors had not come during the session in order that they might see how the students worked, but he wished all to make a tour of the va rious buildings and see and have the Various departments explained. There was nothing to conceal in the work ing of the institution. He thought it one to be proud of and he was satisfied that the people of the State would think likewise. Mr. Alan Johnstone made a short talk along similar lines. He was anxious for the press of the State to be in touch with the college and the best way was to obtain it by a per sonal visit. ' . Presideht Aull of the Press asso ciation responded, stating that the in vitation extended had been accepted and arrangements had. been made for the special train as soon as possible. For this tram the Southern railway officiais had kindly furnished trans portation for the entire party. A Life Trustee Speaks. . President Mell then called upon Senator Tillman, a life trustee of the college.. His remarks were short. He said that he had been ip St. .Louis and on hearing of the visit of the newspaper men had traveled back as quickly as possible. Had he known of it earlier he would have been bet ter prepared or would have dodged the meeting. He said he had the greatest, respect for the newspapers. He agreed with Jefferson that' a news paper without government was bet ter than government without news papers. Sometimes, however, he was skeptical when he read the papers in tiie large cities-the cities pf over 200,000 where the newspapers were metropolitan. They show the evi dence of a power that throws sand in the eyes of the people and helps defeat the interests of good govern ment. He was satisfied that the true statement of the situation arising would come from the small papers, especially the country press, although sometimes he was discouraged to read editorials in these papers that showed a disposition to echo the sentiments of the metropolitan journals, Referring to thc college he said the institution had nothing to con ceal. An open inspection of the in stitution was invited in every depart ment. The college had been given t lot of money and perhaps 1 like t man with a fat pocketbook mi?hl have spent some of it unwisely, bul the results were worth it. Anvhow he wanted the newspaper people tc see exactly how things were conduct ed. . Some attractive souvenirs were giv ^cn away-little folders tied with th< Clemson".colors and containing an in tcrestihg .'statement of tiie history tlie financial standing and the mone; received from 1889 to 1009.
