Newspaper Hoaor.
Ia the days when the New York
un was in the meridian of its brilancy,
a cab reporter was sent.to insrvie,w
a distinguished citizen and
et a statement from him on a it.star
of burning interest. He called to
ee the man. accompanied by a r^porer
from a rival paper, and the state.ont
was given them both with the
nderstanding that it was not to be
rinted until the man gave permlsion.
Thcf next morning there was
othing in the cub reporter's paper,
ut in the rival- publication the
Latemcnt appeared in full. The
ianuglng edftor called that cub to
is desk, intending to discharge
ini. "Didn't you get that statelent?"
asked the superior. "Yes,
Ir," said the cub, "but Mr. Blank
aid it was not to be printed until
e released it and he hasn't released
? I told him I'd hold it until he gave
ermission end I've kept my word."
he managing oditor, one of the ab?st
newspapermen of the country,
istead of firing the lad, smiled and
aid to him. "Son, you're a great
ien!" That green youngster had
ept inviolate the honor of his newsaper.
He had not stooped to a conimptible
breech of faith in order to
rint important news which had not
een released by the man who gave

these are few, notorious and
;orned. In the matter of released
'.atements, decent newspapers are
uided merely by the unwritten law
f honor. They will follow one test:
'hat an honorable man would do in
ae circumstances. If they accept a
tatement for publication with the
nderstanding that it will not be
pleased until the giver releases it,
ley will strictly carry out their con-act.
If the statement is not released
> one newspaper, but is released to
ther newspapers, if the newspaper
) which it is not released can get a |
spy by fair and honorable means, it
i justified in printing it unless the
tatement is reoalled. The author of
communication intended for pubcation
has the indisputable right to
Iter or recall it altogether. Newsapers
often receive communications
hich they return or revise at the
uthor's request. <
Sometimes a reporter goes to a

here, of course, no breach of faith. I
Nothing is more important to the (
newspaper than that its reporters
and editors keep the faith and rcf
spect confidences. Newspapermen
know a great deal that they cannot
print, because thtfy cannot violate
confidential communications. What
is told to a newspaperman in confidence
is just as sacred as what a
client tells his lawyer, what a patient
tells his doctor and what a man tells
his spiritual confessor. Thefe are
newspapermen in the United States
who enjoy the confidence of its lead-1
era from prooMr.?* 1?*

cannot write all that they know.
It is important for a newspaper to
print the news first, but it is infinite- |
ly more important that a newspaper I
maintain its honor and keep good
faith. What the? community expects
of an honorable man, it also expects
from an honorable newspaper. The
newspaper that debases its character
and sells its principle to serv^the
hour will sooner or later cease to exist.?Greenville

Campaign Closes Tomorrow.
The Thrift Stamp Campaign closes
tomorrow. This will be your last opportunity
to subscribe during the
campaign. Dillon county still lacks
about $200,-000 in completing its
quota and it is the patriotic duty of
every man, woman and child who
has not bought stamps to see one of
the solicitors and make* a purchase
before the campaign closes.
rue colored folks in Dillon county I
have responded generously. Dr. J. H.
Hamer and Judge Davis addressed
tho colored folk at Spring Hill
church near Bermuda Sunday night
and secured subscriptions to the
amount of $2700. Messrs. J. B. Gibson
and J. R. Regan held meetings
at Hamer Sunday and met with much
success. A meeting was held at St.
Mark church (colored) Sunday
morning, and although this church
has a small membership, about $1,000
was subscribed. Other churches
in the county have done their part.
The campaign closes tomorrow and
you are expected to do your part.

all colored people in your employ the

speeches by some of the best speakers
in South Carolina. This is under
