In those days of rapid strides of advancement in every line of industry, it Is simply foolishness for the publisher outside of large cities to iry to print his paper all at homo, as his forefathers used to do, when no other way j was open to then). The principal and legitimate field of the country weekly is first Its town, county atid State, and then the outside i world. it is now possible for the country publish* r to r.ortire In some of the large cities paper partly printed, which contains the news of the day from all over the world, as well as the State news of his own State. Owing Jo supclor facilities and machinery, JhU central otilce can supply these 1 partly printed sheets made up of the ' very latest and up-to-date matter, including telegraphic news of all Importr ant evens*. Illustrated articles on topics which are engaging the world's attention, popular sermons ami letters, and In fact every attraction that is calculated to make the count y publisher a strong competitor of the city paper which becomes his opponent to ! an extent wlnn it reaches out to the j country towns for subscribers. This rcady-p intrd paper, while It does all the above, also gives the publisher more time to attend to other piatters f om which money can be I made, and to neglect which causes a loss. Wr refer, for instance, to Job printing, collection of hills, securing new subscribers and advertisers, and a number of other important and profitable occupations. Any publisher who advertises that lie prints his paper ail nt home is male j ing a very shallow boast, if he really does so, alnca ho cannot give his readers neaily as good service as otherwise. If he Is making the claim while using plntrs to till out with, he is inisrt pr<.seating the facts, because the petting up of the type to make the ! pint* s wlih'h he uses is a part of the printing of his paper, ami the matter js edited, srt in typo and stereotyped away from home. There a e few. if any. country weeklies in this State, or any other Stale, tvhioh do not use either ready prints ur plates?consequently the really nllhoine-prlnt paper is out of date almost obsolete?a thing of the pn.*t and surely nothing to boast of! Over ten thousand publications i:i the United Stat -s arc at pres. nt being partly printed away f v>m home, and we are pleased to say that ours Is one of this number. We have found the plan a material help In many ways. ptir work Is half done f r us every i week when we receive our paper; and the rapid growth of our subsc iption list and our advertising columns since \ we adopted it form the best proof of its popularity with both renders and advertisers. The editor of the Monroe .T ourmil does not like the irrainmnticnl I expressions of a correspondent in one of his exchanges find publishes the following extract to show what blunders such writers make: "Talking with Senator Si 111 pious yesterday concerning the admirable Democratic Hand B?jok issued by tho Domocmtjo State Executive Committee, ho said ti^ut portions of tho material hud hoeu faraishod by Capt. S. A. Ashe, and that t^o committoo desired to express its thanks to him for his splendid work lie is thoroughly informed on the questions he handled and did so with great ability. To which The Journnl man offer* this} comment: I"Who ^vus talking with Senator Simmons aint who can justify sneh use of the principle which begins that sentence? \Vpo was it that said i>ortious Jiud been faraishod by Capt. Ashe. Who is thoroughly informed? And what did lie do with great, ability? And ain't that article a dandy all round':"' Too hn<l, for in anuthor coin inn of The Journal we timl the following item: "Uucle John H. Simpson says he sold sixteen hqgs Saturday night at >*3 for tho drove. Tl^e swine were designed for savings hank purposes and wen* purchased by a eqlqred pastor for ilp> use of hi' congregation."' iienlly, one would havo to toe* heads and taile to decide whose blunder is the biggest. The Wfirren-Nivens suit, which ]iaw been explained in these eol? uinns. was wqii by Mr. Warren in Itock HiH yestfrduy. ilk. ' ' ' ' . The treasurer of Aikci county has son! i lie f? ?l l? iw.iilt not ice to the tax payers of that eoiiinioiiwoalth: "On account of tip* numerous holdups in the county in the t>as; twelve months, 1 do not think it would he do- j Jtm justice to myself or the county to risk niv life and their money by travel- | itig through the country by'private conveyance as heretofore; so in the future | will only pi hi such places as call he rea. lied by rail." A slight interference l?y the officers of the law is said lohean excellent preventative fur such ur eurrenees. Attr.y of Pensioners.

The county trustee stockholders of the Farmers' Alliance exchange j will hold a meet iiur in the Slate house Wednesday, October l!tt. for the purpose of voting upon the dissolution oT the exclianoe, says I lie ('ol ainbia 1 lecord . This marks the close iT the alii mice as an organization. This e\ ?*) I it ti * has been a bone <>f ciiiiU'ii lion for several years.

Tlie business of tlie exchange finally dwindled down, and then lie^an an agitation to dissolve it and divide the money between tin slib-allianees which had contributed money <0 the stoek of the exchange. \ of,.,-it litlht was made at several sueeessive annual meetings over this mat - 1 lor, but the exchange people always won until tin* meeting last spring. when they were defeated. A new board of direetors was then chosen and it is now favorable to I wind inn "P the nffuirs of the exchange and ret urni no t he money to the sub-alliances. The money was deposited with the old Farmers and Mechanics! bank, which has been merged with the Palmetto think and Trust company. Dividing out the money will he a difficult job, if such a disposition of it is made, and it will no doubt take more than a year to accomplish t he task. Pike Visits Fort Mill. ()ver the sionat iiiv nf "Pike." a writer in the Yorkville Yeoman Hives the following interesting ae count of what he saw while on .1 recent visit to this section: "Crops are a fair average in that section, much better than in some other portions of the county. "The Methodists are erecting a new building at Harrison's church 011 the road lending from Pleasant Valley to Pincville, N. U. "Mr. Jim IJailes, who owns a largo plantation oast of Sugar Creek in Lancaster county, and who is a progressive farmer, has a tine crop. By the way, it makes a difference in tho success of the man who loves his work and the j man who doesn't. Jim Builes loves his occupation, studies it, and sticks to it. "1 spent some very pleasant hours j with hill YVindle, Charlie Crook, ! Sam Epps, J. K. llaile and other friends of that community. "C. T. Crook, B. M.

"The Gold Hill school is in a prosperous condition under the leadership of l'rof. Hamilton.

Case In Reference. . According to theYorkville Yeoman, there is an issue at law between Dr. R. A. Juration nnd Mr. 1 Jos. G.

The following ?'<r iele. nnent the eliiid labor question. written for the Man n f.iel n i ess," llee-rd hy Mr. I. ! '. Muir. of this place, wfll lie very inst met i\ e to those who are not f:Thiilint* with the subject: I ii I lii* discussion < f tIn- question of child labor in tlic Smith there nrc two distinct types of agitators to lie met with. Tim first is fittingly named the "hvalerian." who la-- | lii s mostly what lie or sin wants to believe without any careful invest ii^at ion of (letails, and t he ot lu-r is In- who. huviii" read tin- "hysterica," agrees with him. as no other side of the question has reached liiui. To the latter a logical discussion of the facts of tin* case ma's throw further liolit on the subject and briii^ new convict ions Is it. then, that the mills today ; employ ehild labor because of the yaiii therein? Let us see. ('hildrcii are employed almost oNrhisively in the spiniiino room. The spinner's principal duly is to mend up the t h reads as t hev break down, and for this a stated sum per side (..r half of each machine) is paid. Some spinners can sue res-sTuHy operate ten sides, others ei^lil and so on. Now, the .-.pin ner rnnniiie eiulit sides, wlieie the mill pays, say 12 cents per side, will receive '.Hi cents p< r (I V, whereas the same sides operated by child labor, runiiine two sides each, would reipiire four hands. Kuril would receive 21 cents p r day. and the sum received bv tin four will !>.- 1H? (*i*nls. It i-- therefore clcjir Ilml the cost in (lolliirs mill runts is the same in each case for labor. I?111 this is not nil. for < -11 i li I Inlior is nrrt ssnrilv unskilled. Tlir rioJil-side spinner will make less \v::slr. will nerd le.-s nitrtitioii from the overseer, will save repairs to (lie tniifli wiery 1 >v report ino defects in time, mid will produce u lietter quality ol ynrn. nil ot which menus money to the mill nnd must be computed in the comparison. Therefore the child lid. >r costs the mill more than skilled Inlior. Surely. the frenzied talk of soulless corporations orindine out theeliild Inlior for their selli-h benefits is absurd, and the shoe is on the other foot. It is an axiom that the "more ex pert the workers in a cotton mill or m any other manufacture, other conditions bein?_r normal, the more money that corporation will make. Is il not. then, established that u mill employing child labor must do so at a loss to itself? The question then arises, why do the cotton mills employ child inlior? Is is 1 iccuurc. after all, these soul loss corporntions are the very soul i of charily? Oli, no! It is hecause tin* parents seeking employment bargain with the mills for work f >i the whole family, even to tho eight ami nine-year-ohl child. To run his mill the manufacturer needs the parents anil tho elder members of the family to operate looms and other machines requiring (jrinvn tip men and women, lint in order to secure them he is forced into employing the ehil I dren. * * * le closing, may I ask if the child ia'oor agitators know the full responsibilities (in South Caro-i lina)from the passage of an act of the legislature, prohibiting the em- i ployment of children under twelve | years of age. In this State there j is no compulsory educational act.' and who will take care of the i young children shut out from the! mill during working hours? Their ; parents are at work, anil they must he left to roam at will without the slightest moral curb. Will it !)< heller for them to grow up wild, I untutored, without discipline, to develop evil habits while their minds are in tho plastic state which the discipline of law and order will perhaps never eradicate, or be kept at work until the State will compel the parent to give them over to the safekeeping of the school?
