FEBRUARY 28, 1907. wise and otherwise. I After ordering our Dar^r last i week, we got so many new spfcr : bribers that most of our exchanges had to be slighted. We would saV by way of apology that, we hope the same thing iAW i happ2n often. i The day of cheap newspajye/s is drawing to an end. The kpoMtoffice department has decided to refuse second class rates" of post- i age to papers and magaziry^ fur- ; nished below cost and givthg premiums to secure subscribers, and the result will be the death j of many papers run only for ad- j vertising purposes. ' ' With the opening of spring those who patronize our merchants will find better stypks to select from than were ever snown in this place. Our business men . have been making a study of the wants of this , community and they will have what you are looking for in stock. Give them a chance on everything you purchase this season. Among her numerous other! possessions, our town has her i share of old bachelors, although ! they are by no means the pastredemption kind. Just why these j men travel alone is not quite i clear?especially toagopdly num- j her of the tender sex who are! idmplv chasing their heads off in an effort to catch a man. While we beautify pur residences and premises, we should not forget our relatives and loved ones who are at peaceful rest. There are mor6 little! mounds in our cemetery than there are residents rn our city I and it is fitting: that our Silent City should be kept in order. None of us are too poor to plant a rose above the renting place of 1 a rolativeor friend. An unoccupied njan cannot be happy?nor can one who is imnrQperly occupied: We hhve syvarms of idlers an>ong us, that fs, men who pursue no useful ocpupatjon, and spcrnge their way, often enjoying trie luxuries of life, living: upon the hard earnings of others. In this grand! ijnd glorious country no one need be without an honorable occupation. . ?v The mothers yf this and other towns who are responsible for the girls who ga<J the' streets 1 J -? I- i.LI-1. 1 . ll. ttiiyuiu stop ana ininK wnai tney i are doing. These girls are no . longer children. They are at the ' imeressionable age. Where will you have their impression' com? from ?from the riit of the street! or from the home, it is entirely for the mother's to settle this question. And it came to pass that after ! he had advertised his goods there i came unto him great multitudes from all the regions round about and did buy of him. And when his competitors saw it they marveled among* themselves, saying: "How be it this man is busy, while we loaf idly about our doors?" And he snake unto, them: "In this fast'afire Qf push | and rustle it is easier for a carnal | to enter the eve of h needle than for a man to flourish without advertising." Ages pass, but each returning j piaster brings again its lessons of sacrifice qf unselfishness and of i great love for humanity. Great anpwy banks of lillies, enfolems1 of purity, are ptfered in remembrance of the greatest self-abne-i gation in the history Of the world. ; In vast cathedral and modest chapel vibrates the majestic mu-' sic of praise for that most wonderful resurrection, upoh which is based the faith of the mightiest pppnle of thp earth. Farmer* as a rule are kindhearted and sympathetic and abuse of the beasts of burden is Something rarely witnessed in the country. In the towrl and city, however," it js. different, j Horses, after J)eing driven, are often seen hitched to posts and exposed to wintry winds and j cruelly neglected. Societies exist for the prevention of cruelty to animals in one form or another and the duty of the village marshal is to care for and hovse n?gjl^cted animals. "Excellencie*" of the New Law. Says the Union correspondent of the News and,Courier: "The passage of the CareyCothran bill, carrying with it the abolition of the State constabulary, leaves this county at the mercy of blind tigers, and will doubtless force the people to vote in favor of a county dispensary. It, is hardly probable that the various peace officers, the constables, magistrates and sheriffs, >vjll tal$e a very active interest in suppressing the illicit sale of whiskey. These men act only i when direct complaint is made to! them, and do not search out the | crime or criminal. As a conse- j quence the sale jpf whiskey in violation will go 6n practically without check or hindrance until the couuty dispensary is installed. ! A petition for the opening of 6ne ! or to' order an election on the j question will doubtless be circu- ; lated at an esrly date." The Cost of Printing Newspapers. .Very few people comparative-! ly have any adequate idea the immense cost of producing a modern daily newspaper, particularly in the large cities of . the country. Some authentic , figures on the subject have recently beeh made public and j will doubtless occasion surprise to ; the uninformed. The "Compo! sition" [printsrs weekly pay roll] for instance or.'the Balti-1 more American is $2,000; on the , Boston Globe, $4,200; on the; Globe Democrat, $3,000; on the New York Herald, $4,000; and other papers ih proportion. Bills for special telegrams are another big item of expense. . On the Chicago Herald a few years ago ; they run to $4,500 per month; St. Louis Globe-Democrat, $T2,000; San Francisco Examiner; $8,000. Boston Herald, $6,000;' and St. Louis Republic, $4,000. j Then there is the white paper bill which is greater than the ! others combined. On the New j York World it is said to run $700 000 nnr v'pnW nn tha Maw York American about the same; on the Chicags News about $250,000 and on the Boston Globe and Herald about $350,900 each; on the Enquirer about $400,000, and on many other papers it runs : from $100,000 to a quarter of a | million dallars every twelve months. Bucket Shop Operator f i^fd $1,000. A court proceeding. the past week which doubtless' caused uneasiness among the bucket shop men artd their sympathisers in this state was the 'test 'cake in! the court in Atlanta of the Qeor1 gia Boy kin anti-bucket shop law. ! The tr|al resulted in a conviction. The defendant, C. N. Anderson, was found guilty by the jury after 15 minutes deliberation, of a I violation of the law passed by i the last legislature, and also of j keeping a gaming house. Judge1 Roan, of the Superior court, imposed a fine of $1,0Q0. Attorneys j fpr the defense announced that! all appeal will be taken to the j supreme cOUrt of Georgia,' and pending: the decision of the higher court, the cases against other defendants will be postponed. As the new anti-bucket Bhop law of this State is a duplicate of the Boy kin law of Georgia, the final result of the case against ^ndersort will be watched with interest by the pobple of South Carolina. Number of Children Who Toll, In view of the fact that both i Senators Lodge and Beveridge j have drawn up bills for Congress ! to regulate child labor by forbidding its product, with certain .qualifications, to entef into interstate commerce, the'new figures / \ ? thn P dnoliii m?no ?*% VI Ci IV VVIiOUp 1^141 V?U l/U\.UUIC doubly interesting. Children j furnish 2.9 per cent, of all our | factory ' Workers, whidh means j that outside the children at work j in fields' and mines, there are ;lf?0,0tX) who go each morning to labor in the factories. Thb j largest number are employed in the nuking of cotton goo<Js. A very slight decease of the j number employed in manufacturing has occurred in the last five years,' owing in great jpart to the enactment of many State laws. National legislation,' however, doubtless would have additional impetus. If th'ese" lGQ,000\voung- I sters were gathered together into I one city of their own. and if sea- , tiatics were taken there on mortality and the sum total of happiness measured against the1 enjoyment of any .IdO.OOO chil-, dren outsiue, what' a city of j vain hope would be this laugntess ! municipality!

Many ^jQrphafu and Little Bjread. There are in the Thornwell OrEhao#ge at Clinton, 240 orphan oys and girls, in process of securing an education. These boys and girls' are all ages from 9 tip to 17 and years. The older pupils, by their zealous labors, help to support and care'for* the vo'ung. putting in each day from four to six hours of steady work ,in the shops and farms and kitchen and about the same time daily on their books. In this way the c'ost of caring for the \yhole farm ilv is h.jsened by many thousands ox dollars. But the gyeat major* ity of the children are-v<"*y small, \ o. lv a care instead of a help, ' and must be aided in every way. The support of these children rests upon good men and women who lo re the orphans and freely aid" them. Just at present tl^ere i$ special need of assistance and [ every gift, be it of provisions or money, will be promptly acknowledged. Every denomination in the State is represented among the children, but the institution is' under Presbyterian control. All gifts should be sent to Rev. Wm. P. Jacobs, Clinton, S. C. Provisions, simply to Thornwell Orphanage. Clinton, S. C. It is 1 suggested that in each eomrrmni- ' ty in the State someone under- ! take to raise supplies for the aid of these children. ? * The New Salary Bill. Senator Brices' bill to increase the salary of certain York county officers, has become a Jaw, notwithstanding the fact that the daily "newspaper reporters appear to be under the impression that it died of liegioci in the house, says *he Yorkville Enquirer- , , t. ThoJ)ill was introduced in the senate by Senator Bfice. as asepn arate lji'easuro and bvpr to *he house early in the session; but be,cr>,use of the crowded condition of the calendars aijd the stronuoup' situation generally, the house delegation -wasl?unablo to bring it up- for Consideration". Seeing that' thereYyak but litt}?. prospect of'secuHng the passage ; of thfe bill as a separate measure, j Mr. Bric^ tacked it oivtothegen- j eral sa'.cry bill and to/the ^pp>ro- j priation bill, and it. 6ot through ! on both. ' ' ' * ' The bill provides that the sala-' ry of the supervisor be increased, from $750 a y$ir to $1,000^1 year; tho salary of' superintendent qfeducation from $750 to $800 a year; the salaries of the county commissioners froth $150 each to,! $200 each and the salary of the I coroner from $200 a year tjb $260 , a year. ' Anticipating the passage of a bill requiring magistrates and ] constables to attend school picnics, political and other public , meetings, a provision was inserted in the salary bi^l providing for an nic**esso in the salaries of j the magistrates and constables of 1 th< various townships from $25, to $50 each. ' ' V , The salary bill goes into effect at once and the present' officers ! get the benefit of it. / :f i j Pleasant Valley. Spoolnl io The Times.
