The others usually are cranks who think a demand for cash in advance a personal reflection, if such would lay aside the preju dice and stop and think they would be able to realize the jus tice and sound common sense of the cash-in-advance policy. No newspaper management can pos sibly know the reliability of one- tenth of those w ? ho ask that the paper be sent to them on credit; but if credit be given to some, it must be given to all.

The newspaper management which permits credit subscriptions faces a certain loss of at least thirty per cent from this source Why should they permit credit subscriptions any longer r The custom has been to permit theta and it is hard to breakaway from a custom. A big circulation is a nice thing to show advertisers and brag about, and it is a great temptation to run the risk of credit subscriptions in order to increase circulation. But if the advertiser thoughtfully consider yie matter, he will prefer his ad vertisement to be read by people who pay their bills. It is a fair estimate that an advertisement in eight hundred paid-for-in-ad vance papers is of more value to a business man than an adver tisement in fifteen hundred pa pers two-thirds of which are sent on credit. In the opinion of Judge Prit chard the selling of whiskey is not one of the essential functions of State government necessary to the preservation of its auton omy and the maintenence of its soverigntj, and that having gone into the business of selling w’his key, not in the proper exercise of its. police powers but for the profits it could make out of it, the State is to be treated precise ly as any other whiskey dealer would in the execution of the law. The fact that it is a sovereign State does not change its char- actor as a barkeeper in general, a monopolist in restraint of trade. The view expressed by Judge Pritchard is the view for which we have contended since the dis pensary sj’stem of managing the liquor trattic in the State was adopted sixteen years ago. Hav ing announced this perfectly cor rect view of the true position of the State in this business, Judge Pritchard will hear argument for the appointment of receivers to manage the offairs of the late State Dispensary, application for which has been made on the pleu that the State Commission charg ed with this service have violated their trust. We believe that up on a complete kearing the Couri will conclude that the application for receivers is without substar- iial merit, and will determine of winding up the Dispensary Commission Appeared Yes terday — Clash with Judge Pritchard Probable. The supreme court, on the petition of .'.ttorney General Lyon, has issued an order against the dispensary wind ing-up eommission, requiring it to show’ cause in the supreme court room yesterday why it should not be man- dnniused to pay over to the state treas urer $15,000 from the $800,900 funds which Judge Pritchard held up by in junction last week in order to carry out the terms of the act approved Feb ruary 24, appropriating $15,000 out of this fund for the use of the attorney general in continuing the prosecution acainst alleged dispensary grafters. Thus it is sought to secure an order from che supreme court requiring the commission to do what Judg* Pritch ard said in his order last week should not be done, thereby clearly defining the clash betw’een the federal and state courts. The South Carolina supreme court will not be regularly in S’ssion until next month, but an extra term opening yesterday was called Ly C hief Justice Pope last week. The order calling the special term does not say anything about any specific busine s to be at tended to. Some Greenville attorneys interested in a certain bond case af fecting the city of Greenville were notified of the extra meeting, leading to the conclusion that the extra term was called primarily to hear that case. It is know’n, however, that a few days prior to the order of Judge Pritchard Attorney W. F. Stevenson, represent- ng the winding-up commission,jtook a tTrip up the country to consult with members of the supieme coqr.t, with a view’of instituting such i proceedings The title of the ne\y. case is ex rel. J. ’’raser Lyon, attorney general, against Messrs. Murray, Patton, Henderson, McSwe'en and Arthur, members of the winding-up commission, defendants, t sets forth that the commission has ‘unjustly refused” to pay over the !>15,000 to the state treasurer on his demand for it, but makes no refe*ence to the order of Judge Pritchard. ivemeyer New’ York Dr B Sherwoid Dunn ” “ James Levy Cincinnati C T Poe G S Fitike Boston Marvin B Pool and daughter Chicago Miss L G Maclay Yonkers N \ ** Pollock Chicago Butler ” J M Fisk Rutland Vt * “ Athey Albany N Y Mr and Mrs M B Hershey, Her hey.Pa Win B Calvert New York Jas L McCahill M P J^evy and tw"> laughters “ II H Harding Boston L R Bolton “ Edw D Rice “ Mrs. Chas M Barker Miss Mary M Bates “ ” E Merie Sinclair ‘‘ Mr and Mrs Lewis New’house, Cincin nati Miss New’house Cin< innati i The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years.

Many years ago Edwin Forrest tb« celebrated actor, when in New \oriv was in the habit of dining at Win dust’s, a noted restaurant on Park row that was a favorite resort of ao tors and literary men. It usunl'y hap pened that Forrest would be joined b> friends and that the little group would sit together at one table. On one oc casion it chanced that an Englishman with a reputation for conceit and im pertinence, who had scraped acquaint tnce with the tragedian, was one of the group. Early in the course of the dinner th<i Englishman began to make criticisms Vtiicii he cons'drietl pleasantries about Fo.rest’6 conception of certain roles. Encouraged by Ids own appreciation h< gave full i-lay to his humor end con cluded each of u’a tnipertim nces with. “Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way-' To the astonishment of all who knew Forrest’s irascible disposition h«r bore the Briton's offcaishe remarks patient ly and seemingly ignored them ns far as possible. When, however, the nuts were brought in by the waiter, he took several cracked walnuts in ids hand and, walking over to the Briton’s place, jocularly snapped tbwn successively in the face of that individual, lightly say Ing after each shot. ‘’Pardon my free* sir; It's my way,” and snapped 'aim out of the restaurant.
