wise and otherwise.

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.

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

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-,

vain hope would be this laugntess !

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
