The publisher of The Timet it gratified to uote that the advertising patronage of the paper has reachod that point where an enlargement becomes a necessity. This fact is easily discernible by a glance at our advertising columns. We ...i ?... .-J ? i UBV4 MAW* 9 O1 OUU iUViO WO have. Bat to accomplish this we must surrender a considerable amount of cash; A largor press must bo bought, together with fixtures to operate it, and a quantity of type to fill in the additional space, .all such material is very costly and is' not sold on time. Now, tho preposition by which we are ! confronted is to raise the necessary cash, 1 and we must looh to our subscribers for a large portion of the amount. It is the Intention of tho publisher to give you a largor and better paper, but your help is neeiedOur preposition to you is this: Do you owe us anything? If so, come In and pay up. Do you object to paying a few months in advance? You should not. for we have certainly had our turn at waiting Then, drop us a dollar or two and chow your appreciation of our effortsThis appeal is nude with the hope that you will respond at cnco and not wait for us to ceo you in person. GROWING AN IGNORAMUS. It is regrettable to relato, nevertheless true, thut thoro are children in onr midst that ure being denied the Godgiven right to an education by the foolish belief or supiKmition of their parents. Information has just readied the ear of the writer of an incident which proves this beyond a doubt. It in told that a mother in one of tho mill villages was a few days ago approached upon the I ..I.SAKS nf ......-11 I -."J .i * I waujv.iIW ui ouuuiu^ 14m V IIIJ11 tU V11U pUU* lie Hchool, aiul ah an excuse and reason for hor failure to iierform this duty who replied that she did not propose to send her child to the school to have it ''run over" and "imposed upon" by the "town children." It is noodle.**, perhaps, to add that tho mother was doaf to the absurdity of hor belief. God save the child! The very thought causes one to dosjtair. How cuu anyone believe that such a condition would be allowed at an institution of learning. Tho idea is preposterous. As a fact, the graded schoul is n public instution, run equally in tho interest of the rich and poor. There are no pots; no partiality shown and no distinction made between the children, whether they live in the country, tl)u town or the mill village, O110 and all receive the same attention und educational advantages. But, for tho foolish ideas of some parents, the child is allowed to grow up un ignoramus, with scarcely enough education to write his or her own name. The children deserve sympathy. It is a pity but that the compulsory school law could b 1 enacted in such form as to apply solely to parents of this lyi>o. Thoir only reward is that, in ten yours they can boast the ownership of the very linest specimen of ignoramus. PATRONIZE YOURR MAIL ROUTE. inn iiiiui miiii route is not only a con . onienoe, but is of nncstimnhle value from an educational point of view. Our attention has just boon called to the lu a that numbers of ponplo in the j rural districts hereabouts are now re- ! chiving in.iil daily anil that these same people, prior to t he establishment of the routes, seldom if ever received mail. The natural consequence is that tin* average lariuer keeps abreast of the times and can engage in conversation on locator national affairs with intelligence equal to his city friend. There is littlo going 0,1 >?> the world nowadays that the ruralist knows nothing of. But there are some routes throughout j the country that are not receiving the [ support they should and arc in danger of being suspended. The puslufflce do- j purtment is piuuuwg to make a retrenchment a]ong the lino of the rural inuil service and to that end has issued an order to thoofTect that all routes on which the carrier does not handle 2,000 pieces of mail each month shall be discontinued. This order will hn merf. ?t fectivo iu tliu fc>outh, qn account of tho sparsely settled sections through which Home of tho routes pass. Under tho ruling no distinct ion id to bo made in a piece of mail, whether it bo first, second or third class. That thero uro 2,000 pieces of mail, regardless of olass, is necessary for thocoutinuauooofaruute, Tills condition places within easy roach of the rural resident tho possibility of retaining the service. If lie writes and receives but few letters, ho still has the Opportunity of bringing the |Kirculs up to tho r<. quired 11.'tuber by subscribing to newspapers, luagu/.inos and other periodicals. Ixicully, there is hut one route which is likely to be utfeoted by the order, uud oven iu this case, the patrons can prevent such by ptirsuiug tho policy outlined ubo.e. r The city of Charlotte, under coutrol of tho prohibition forces, seems to have deveolped inro a veritable hotbed of bliud-tigerism. Scarcoly a day passes < bat that tho recorder is called upon to t pass uj oa the guilt or inuoceuee of numborH of suspects, nud many thore t be who aro awaiting their desorts ut 1 the approaching term of oourt. According to tho Charlotte papers there l aro 50 prisoners in Mecklenburg jail * und about half tho number are being * hold for Rolling liquor. Besides these * many others charged with the same of- ' fetiBo are out on bond. While this is 1 proof that oonsidorablo whiskey iR still ( being sold in t he city, it also is proof ' that the authorities are uot idle in their efforts to suppress the evil. With the 1 number of convictions* that are sure to 1 follow aud the lessen t?? bo lonrucd by ' these who are oouvictod, it is reusona- i ' ble to expect improved conditions in tho future. Tho death of Gen. Joe Whauler serves as a reminder that not only the ranks I of the privates but thoso of the oiliocrs < who served through tho war of '(JJ-5 are beiug rapidly reduced. An interesting article on tho subject has just been issued by tho ponsion commission- , er at WaRhington in which it 1h shown ; that twenty thousand pensioners havo 1 passed over tho great divide during tho 1 past six mouths. Tho articlo does not , give tho rank of thoso who havo died; neither does it state how many each woro from tho Northern and Southoru unities. Thcro wore G7D.234 pensioners ( on the list January 1, and it is figured i that should tho present mortality continue it will bo but seventeen years until the voternn of tho Civil war will have passed away. The "yallcr dorg" Is still under fire of tho legislature. A bill empowering 1 school trustees to list dogs for taxation in their respective district has passed mini reading una indications are bright . for itH final passage. The school fund to which tho dog tux is applied is losing many dollars through tho fuiluro ' of people to return thoir canines uud, uow that tho trustees aro to look into J I tho matter, wo may oxpoet a consider j uble increase in tho tax noxt your. Mr. Tillman's rooont deuunolation of ,1 Prosidout Roosovolt not only proves . that tho senator is no rcspootor of porsons when ho dooms it wise to offer a rebuke, but it also brings out most for cihiy that outside of Senators Hulo uud Lodgo Mr. Roosovolt has about as weak backing in tho senato of the United States as ho has in the State.of South Carolina. It is quite cvidout that the president is losing weight in the senato ! on account of making himaolf overly conspicuous in public matters. The Charlotto Chronicle has this: "Ritha Crosby, a negro woman, was found guilty of running a blind tiger by th? recorder this morning and sent to jail in default of a $100 bond." Well, well, who wouldor thank that Mr. Shnunouhouse had gone into the business. But, granting that he lias, where is the justice in sending Ritha to j iil for a tiger that was run "by the recorder?" In a reomit nrtiolo, Mr. Mntthows of tin Charlotte News, referred to his homo city as "Charlotte, tho Queen City of the Carolines." Mr. Matthews, had evidently forgotten Columbia, the "Hub" of South Carolina, fur 011 second thought he added: "certainly of North Carolina." Bro.
