Entered at the Postoffice at New erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. A. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday,~ August 1, 1911. What's the matter, isn't there any body else in the penitentiary who wants out?--Spartanbu.rg Herald. Say, now, what's the matter with you-! Would be interesting to know what Tesults folldwed the order of the boaTd of health to observe cleaning up day. Have seen very little evidence 6leaning up the streets and back lots. We would suggest to our cotempo rary, the Observer, that it read the State constitution and it will find that the two exceptions to holding two of Sees as given in the constitution, or, .rather the two offices or positions that Mcan be held together with other offices and positione, are notary public and an office in the militia. The Chattauooga Times remarks that Hoke Smith learned from Grover Cleveland that "A public office is a public trust." Mr. Cleveland was right but he didn't go far enough. He should have added that no man ought to bur den himself with two public trusts at the same time.-Wilmington (N. C.) Star. There are a few people, you know, 6o important and so invaluable and upon whose shoulders old Atlas is resting that It is necessary they should hold two offtes-there is no one else, in .heir opinions, can fill the job. We have no idea what the "unfore seen contingency" was which kept Governor Blease away from the picnic at Filbert, but in. view of all the noto tiety which had been given the fact that both he and ex-Governor Jno. Gary Evans had acceptedI nitations t~o deliver addresses, and that it was expected 'tey would pay their compli ments to eachL other, we are glad Gov er or Blease did not -go. We do not ad mire dte taste 4$lch arranges the' irogram for a fraternal order picnic 34th a view of getting what has come A)be known as "hot stuff" from those politically antagonistic, and who, it 1sould seem from newspaper -reports, iave not the kindest,personal feelings. ehh towards the other. We want to iomnmend Governor Bleiase for his fail ure to attend. Says the SpiaTtanburg Journal: "The Colu,mbia Record booms Ira B. 3ones. for United States- senator anid 21st believed would n:ot be averse to supporting Hoyt for congres from the SSeventh district" If the latter were a' controlling consderation with the Record, why should it boom Jones in preference to another aspirant for the senate? But it may lie impossible for some persons to uniderstand that even if Mr. Hoyt were a candidate for con gress, or for anything else, the paper * of which he is the editor would still be conducted 's without Tegard 'to the effect of its policies upon his candi Oacy.--Columbia Record. The Record should realize that ini this age no man. can do or say any thing but some one.or some newspaper Will rise up to assign sinister motives. No mian is given credit for acting fromi purely patriotic motives. The pity' is that it is' true. It is too early to fall out about the presidential nominations next year and the Nebraska Democratic conven tion wiseiy agreed on a program that will prevent a split in the party at this time. Mr. Bryan's representatives were conspicuous at the con-vention, determined thiat he should not be ig nored or humiliated, while the per sonal r,epresen.tative of Governor Har mon was on the scene, .iust spyin~g out the land. The preference of Nebraska Democrats for the presidential noml nation will be determined ,in a primary :iext year and we predict that the 'choice will be 'neither Bryan nor Ha.r men.-Columbia Record. A great many changes may take place before the compaign of next summer. Some 'man may come for ward who has not yet been named. The Record is right. It is too early to fall out. But that has been, to some extent, the history of the Democratic party. The leaders and their friends affe given too much to quarreling NEWSPAPERS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTS. Under this capition the GreenvillE News, a few days ago, carried a very sensible, as well as a very true, edi torial, and we feel that it is particu larly appropriate to this community at this time, and, in fact, would be ap propriate to any community at any time. It is too true that a community rarely values the advantages and the help to the community that the local newspaper furnishes. Thq News says: "It needs no argument to convince that no movement ever attained suc cess without publicity and in the na ture of things any movement requir ing for its success the support of nu merous persons must have the invalu able aid of a common mouth-piece. The kind of publicity needed in this development is afforded by :the local paper at every stage of its progress. .The local editor should be and usually is conversant with the community's needs; he is wholly in sympathy with and is an enthusiastic supporter of every undertaking that is calculated to make his town b~igger, better and more enterprising." It would be a very poor' -newspaper, indeed, that was not wholly in sym pithy with, and an enthusiastic sup porter of, every undertaking calculat.. ed to make the town better and big ger. It is also true that the local newspaper is really the smallest di rect beneficiary of the progress and advancement of the community. This is truly an age of publicity, and that business which does not ap preciate the advantages of advertising in the local newspaper, does not have the proper appreciation of the spirit of the age. The News says further: "The first evidence, therefore, of a community's awakening is to be found in lts local newspaper, and the first act of those initiating a move w1ent for -local development is to en - list the services of and work hand in hand with that paper. "But this fact must not be miscon strued. The newspaper is a business institution, the same as Is a dry goods or a grocery store. It must give a ftnancial return for the money inveist ed in it and for the libor expended up on it. The greater part of the exploi.. tation -performed by a newspaper le more directly for thte benefit of some thing or somebody else than for the publishers himself. But paper, ink, type and everything necessary to pro duce a newspaper cst money and for finascial support the newspaper pub lisher must .look to those who derive benefit from the publicity It. affords." It is true, as we have already said, and as the News says, that the news piaper is general-ly the smallest bene ficiary and receives the least benefit directly from this activity and in pro m~oting the commercial as weil as the other Interests of the comimunity. The peop)le,~ somehow, especially in the smaller communities, seem to have an Idea that it does not cost money to buy paper and Ink and type and to pay the men who produce the newspaper. They do snot seem to realize that the newspaper itself, and space in tshe newspiaper, constitute the merchan dise which the paper Is selling, and should be treated just as the average citizen treats groceries or dry goods, and tihat while, in a certain.sense, the newspaper Is a public institution, yet In order to live and to do its best work, It must get pay for the paper said for the space it sells just as the grocer is paid for his wares or teh manjufacturer for .his manufactured products. The News concludes: "The 'benefits arising from the pub licity of a newspaper are not limited to subscribers and advertisers. The paper is a constant worker in every movement that. tends to improve con ditions in the community. Its sub scribers and its advertisers make its existence possible but they usually are a small part of the community of which it is a benefactor. "Thle indirect benefits derived from subscribing to the local paper and from using it for advertising purpos es are double and triple the direct benefits. It is through the newspa per that the community speaks on all occasions on which the community desires to be-and if its 'best interests are to be served--must be heard. But the community must not as a com munity forget that the publisher of the paper 'is at his own expense exploit ing the community and benefittir'g each member of* it as much--perhaps more than-whimself. "The first aid, the best aid in any "Keep the Money at Home" campaigns is the newspaper. It is through its N columns that are made known the ad vantage possessed by the coimmunity it serves. Its pages chronicle every movement of interest and importance to that comiunity and it is the one factor in local development that can not profitably or safely be omitted or dis-regarded." CHARLOTTE PEOPLE FLEE FROM FAMINE Hundreds Going to Escape Perils of Water Shortage. Charlotte, N. C., July 30.-With the big ponds which have furnished Ohar lotte's water supply for many years only inundations of sun-baked mud, and the stop-cocks to the small supply in the reservoir shut down tight since early Friday morning, this city is un dergoing a period of distress that Is as unique as it is serious. The plan to haul water in tank cars from the Catawba river, twelve miles from here, was well under way Saturday and thousands of gallons were dumped in to the settling basins, but this move ment received a setback today, when one of the big pumps 4t Mount Holly broke down, delaying the program of the authorities to resume regular water service by Tuesday. The numerous mineral water agen cies are overwhelmed and can not be gin to supply the demand. Mayor Bland today peremptorily suspended the blue law which forbids the dis pensation of mineral waters and soft drinks at soda fountains so far as the water is concerned. -No rain of consequence has fallen in this section in many weeks. With the famine of water the sewerage system has been abandoned and the forced installation of surface closets has brought about a ienace to health that has necessitated 'stringent sanitary regulations. Special sanitary guards are being sworn in every .day to pa trol the city, along with squads of extra .firemen to minimize the danger from fire, for the city-now Is absolute ly at the mercy of the- flames. Hun dreds are .leaving Charlotte, flocking to the seashiore and mountain resorts to escape the present perils. * * * * * *- * * * * * * * * SCINITILLATIONS.* - y Squibs. .* * * q The yugpeople are learning to skate and we wonder which onie of the Indies Oreek boys will enter the Park Tink at Newberry first-Roof cor.
