To many of the uninitiated, nothing is easier than running a newspaper in a small town; to these its a sinecure?all the editor has to do is to sit in his office and wait for his friends to j come around and tell him what is happening. Then if he does not get out an interesting paper it is because he lacks the energy to put the news into "copy" for j the printers. It is, argue those who have j fourth or fifth rate information on the subject but whose pretensions of knowledge are first rate, like Napoleon Lajoie's view of playing first base: the baseball player ought to be not only willing to comply with the instructions of his manager when ; told to play the position but should pay for the privilege?it's so easy; that is, to Napoleon Lajoie. But that there is only one Lajoie ; on the diamond is a fact which is overlooked by those who pro-1 profess to believe that the ease with which the great Cleveland ball player exercises his skill should be duplicated by the weekly newspaper editor. Nothing is more remote. The country ! editor who endeavors to make his paper what it should be instead of, as some one has Classified the weekly press, a sewi r through which the daily press discharges its stale news and editorial opinion, finds his work not only laborious but often irksome. The thought that the friends of the editor exert themselves to supply him with the news is a fiction. They don't do it, however kindly they may be disposed toward him personally. Let us (ake the experiences of the Fort Mill Times as illustrative oi the assistance rendered the country editor. Seldom does one tell the editor of this paper, voluntarily, of an incident for publication. The people who ought to be interested in making this a representative paper of the town and county either thoughtlessly fail to inform us of the things which would make the paper more readable and the publication of which would promote the public interest or assume that the paper will get the information anyway. Often the paper does not get the information anyway and the very man who complains of the item being omitted from the news columns has himself to thank for the omission. He was in possession of the information but failed to give it to the paper. The Times solicits the cooperation of the public. Lack of cooperation tells against both the paper and the people for whom it is Dublishpd And now, brethren, recognizing our humble station in life and the deference we should accord a superior fellow-being, let all rise and remain standing while we read in unison some selections from Zach McGhee's Addisonian essay on "How I Be- j came a Great Man, or Teaching the Common Herd from My Fount of Cyclopedic Knowledge.'' | i; "A Hank Awiinnil." Charlotte Observer. The Fort Mill Time* WVifaid rather seem to have a grouch and a mighty one ajgainst the Legislature of Soutn Carolina of, at least, some of the members, when it says: "One of the crying needs of South Carolina is a Legislature composed of a smaller number of ignoramuses and a greater number of men of sense. There must have been at least 25 men in the last General Assembly who did not I Know ine ainerence between a bill | and an act. Others often did not know | how to vote on matters that came ! up for disposition, finding it necessary j in many instances to ask a colleague i whether aye or no meant the affirmative j or negative." : Such ignorance in a large number I of members is hard to beJieve. Hasn't The Times been giving too loose rein j to its imagination or else let its indig! nation over some action of the Legis| lature to which it opposed run away with its usual discretionary fairness? Not So Imaginative. Columbia State. ? The Charlotte Observer accuses the ' Fort Mill Times of "giving loose rein to its imagination" but TW Times has never imagined so vain a thing as the Mecklenburg myth.

From every aide we are hearing complaints about lice and other insect parasites on stock. The severe winter makes this condition much worse and almost everyone is more or less in need of something to kill these pests and put 1 the stock in condition to thrive and put on flesh. Naturally the demand is for 1 a material that is safe and easy to use. , 1 In other words, nobody wants to em- | ploy rank poisons on account of the j ' ever present danger of a disastrous ac- | cident, and a material that requires a I great deal of work to prepare, boiling, j mixing, settlirg, etc., is just about as unpopular. It will be good news to all ' to know that there is a product on the j market that fills the bill exactly. I | Kreso kills lice, ticks, mites, etc., cures scab, inanirc rinirwnrm nnd ,,t nl,;? I diseases, yet when used as directed is practically free from caustic, injurious, ' irritating and poisonous qualities. 1 It was not long ago that sheep were the only animals that were dipped and consequently dipping time meant nothing to people who kept uo. sheep. Most farmers now real:*? that hogs need dipping just as mttch as sheep. There is no surer way to prevent that dread disease. hog Cholera, than to keep the animal* clean and thriving. A healthy hog is not an easy victim to any disease. The best way to keep hogs clean and : thriving is by dipping. The same is true of poultry, and a | f reat many make it a practice to dip owls frequently during the summer. Colts and calves are also much better j for an occasional bath.
