A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
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

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."
