Every campaign year there is more or less agitation of the question as to ; what is justly considered legitimate campaign expenses. A few days since, however, we were brought face to face with a phase of this question that We had never thought of .?IU'S tiontng-the legitimacy and justice of the candidate paying for newspa per notices of his qualifications ior office, lils record in the past and pro posed future policy, and so forth and KO on. The argument put forth was that if we published such information for the "public good," without charge, it was legitimate and all right, but, on the other hand, If the candidate paid for Biich articles the expense could not be considered a legitimate one. Naturally we do not like the argu ment, because, on its very face, it is against our interests. There are forty-odd c ndidates in Oconcc. A column or two each week for each of them would only necessitate our doubling our force and conseque itly our expenses. That, to be sure, is a small matter when we consider that it ls for the "public good." It ls nothing to the candidate. He only writes these "sketches" of himself, outlines his policy and portrays In glowing colors his past life "for the information of the voter" for "the public good." It is a terrible task for him to write himself up, and really he ought to be paid out of the public treasury for the valuable time he puts on these articles of "Infor mation." That ls the apparent status :?K viewed by some of our friends,who advance the theory that it is not "legitimate" to pay for newspaper ?ketches. ls it legitimate for this same can didate to have circulars printed stat ing his platform, etc.? Does he pay for these circulars, or do the job printers do the work "for the public good?" The end sought is the same -the circulating as widely as possi ble certain statements by which he hopes to secure the votes of the peo ple. ls lt any less "legitimate" to pay for printing several thousand circulars of "information" than to publish this same "Information" through the columns of a newspa per? We fall to see where the dif ference comes in, and we fall to see herc either ls anything but a leglt . te campaign expense if the can 'e sees fit to make it. se newspaper articles say in a rm just what the candidate self, only the newspapers advantage of apparently tatements about him off service rendered in he didate, at the candl here is no attempt ut it, and there is Mild not be paid directly Inter ugh his ad sell; the hem he J ->r tell- I ' one I ike se FACTS FROM FAIR PLAY. Interesting Children's Hay Exercises. Matters of l IM al Interdi. Fair Play, May 25.-Special: Children's day passed off very pleas antly In every respect at the Bapt'st church on the fourth Sabbath. The day was an auspicious one indeed. The exercises were opened with Scripture reading, "Parable of the Sower," by W. C. Mays, after which S. P. Strlbllng offered a mose able prayer. The exercises consisted of speeches, recitations and dialogues, Interspersed with appropriate music. At the conclusion of the pantomime, "T ead, Kindly Light," sweetly sung by Mrs. W. L. Dobbs, Col. J. Rj liarle, of Walhalla, caine forward and made a most int ?-i esl inr. talk, which was heartily enjoyed. Following his ad dress H. E. Thompson, superintend ent of the Presbyterian Sabbath school, closed the morning exercises in prayer. Dinner was then announced, a long table having been prepared at the rear of the church. Everybody was Invited to this table, and there was plenty for all. 'Twas a feast flt for kings. After dinner quite a number as sembled In the church, where they spent two or three hours lu good music. Notwithstanding the heat there was quite a large crowd present. All expressed themselves as delighted with the program, the success of which ls due to the untiling efforts of Miss Emily Compton, who worked faithfully in training the little ones, and nt a great disadvantage, to be sure, since there were so many ab sent from each rehearsal.
