Running- a newspaper is just like running a hotel, only its different. When one goes into a hotel and finds something on the * table which does not suit him, ^ he does not raise hades with the! ^ landlord and tell him to stop his old hotel. Well hardly. He sets that dish to one side and wades into other dishes that suit him. But it is different with some newspaper readers. They find an article occasionally that does not suit them exactly and, without stopping to think that it may please hundreds of others, make a grandstand play by telling the editor how a newspaper should be run and what should be put into it. But such people are becoming fewer every year. Except to the owners of the horses, who get a good run of free advertising out of the items, the newspaper accounts of the racing events sent out from Columbia must be of little interjfjjv, | est to the reading public. We imagine the average newspaper ?i reader in South Carolina would f rather read of a puppy fight in Houndville than about a horse race. What in thunder does the average South Carolinian know, or want to know, for that matter, about "First race, $200, 3-yearolds and up, 5 furlongs, selling? / Dr. Furch, 114 (Cook), 5 to 1, ray 2 to 1, even, won," anyway. * It is almost an every day oc^ currence to receive notice at this Tfif: ifflBMPi office to change the address of a paper from one i>ostoffice to an 5* j other, which is easily done when i|8 the patrons give their old addresses, and in the future when * ! our subscribers wish their papers changed we hope they will bear , ~j. this fact in mind. Granite Falls, N. C., has passed ^ -I a curfew law, which provides that all children under 18 years of age caught on the streets gr. ' ||S after 8 p. m. will be arrested. This law would not be bad for finr-v *"'N)ther towns we know of. According to one of her citif Siens, Rock Hill is the muddiest Sgtown in the State. It would thus . i % i l r _ iL-i ; .

All that tends to develop the bodies and minds of men; all that gives us better houses, better clothes, better food, better pictures, grander music, better heads, better hearts; all that fenders us more intellectual and more loving husbands and wives, better children, better citizens? all these things combined produce what I call progress. There is one good?happiness. There is one sin?selfishness. A perfectly civilized man can never be perfectly happy while there is one unhappy being in this universe. This is my doctrine; Give every other human being every right you claim for yourself. I^eep your mind open to the influences of nature. Receive new thoughts with hospitality. Let us advance. The brain of man has been slowly and painfully developed. Gradually mind came to the assistance of muscle, and thought hopnmp the friend of labor. Man advanced just "in the proportion that he has mingled thought with his work, just in the proportion that he has succeeded in getting his head and hands into partnership. We are beginning to learn that to exchange a mistake lor the truth?a superstition for a fact? 1 to ascertain the real?is to progress. . Man advances only as he overcomes the obstruction of nature,! and this can be done only by labor and thought. Labor is the foundation of all. Without labor, and without great labor, progress is impossible. The progress of the world depends upon the men who walk in the fresh furrows and through the rustling corn; upon those who sow and reap; upon those whoso faces are radiant with the glare of the furnace fires upon the delvers in mines, and the workehs in the shops; upon those who give the winter air the ringing music of the axe; upon those who battle with the boisterous' billows of the sea; upon the in-1 ventors and discoverers; upon the brave thinkers. Broke Record of Jerry Moore. The government of the United States may not be "falling over itself" to help the farmer, but it is doing a good service to agricultural interests along several lines. Its demonstration work is ^ good thing. Mr. P. D. Finch, of Davidson county, raised this year 150 bushels of corn on one acre of land because he followed scientific methods. A Hertford county lad, has not only beaten Mr. Finch', but he hits passed the record made by Jerry Moore of South Carolina. Charles W. Parker, Jr., is his name and he has gone Jerry Moore seven bushels better with a record this season of 105 bushels of "crib corn" or 235 bushels "harvest weight." This is his third year, we are told, at the business. The first season when he was only thirteen years old, he raised 94 bushels; the second year 132 bushels and this year 195 bushels to the acre. He has increased the yield of an acre by following closely and systematically the suggestions of the farm demonstration agents of the government. lie hopes to beat his own brilliant record this sea-1 son next year. His corn cost him twenty-four cents the bushel this year. Charlotte Observer. ? ? ? Felder to Take the Stump? Will Tomas B. Felder take the! stump against Cole. L. Blease, in the latter's race for reelection next summer? That's an interesting question and it remains to be seen what will become of it. says a Spartanburg despatch to The News and Courier. A gentleman'who has just returned from a Western trip spent several days in Atlanta, and | while there secured some interesting information on this score: He was informed by the best kind of authority that in addition to the book Felder is said to be writing on Blease, the Atlanta lawyer states that he will make three or four speeches from the stump in South Carolina during race for governor next summer. Felder is anxious to nie^t Blease face to face while making these speeches, is the trend of the news this Spartan burger brings back; with him. # ? ? ? ? n i Railroads to Sell Scrip books. On January 7, 1912, certain of* the Southeastern railroads, including the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern roads, will place on sale at their principal ticket offices a form of transportation order, designated "interchangeable ' penny scrip hooks," which will be honored by practically all the railroads in the territory. While no official announcements have been made public by the officials of the roads with regard to the new form of books, it is under-1 1 tlinir will nut in tJipir SUJOU Ulttl mcj "in (-'ui ... ... appearances at the various offices on January 7, of the new year. Each book will contain at the time of its sale, 2,500 coupons of the face value of one cent each, or $25 in the aggregate, but will be sold for $20. The coupons of each book, when attached to the contract and cover thereof and presented to ticket agents by the, original purchaser, will be accepted in the purchase of transportation between stations in the Southeast for his own use at the rates and under the regulations j set forth in the tariff governing the sale and use of this form of transportation. i V . 1 May Eliminate Cotton. Mr. John M. Scott of Charlotte is not only a banker and wholesale druggist, but a large farmer. He makes much cotton on his farm near Fort Mill, S. C. He figures accurately every year the cost of making a bale of cotton and declares that if he finds when he sells his cotton of the present season that he has not made a profit, he proposes to take the receipts from the sale of his crop and purchase just as many bales as he made. By following this plan, he will have his crop of the 1911 season on hand and will not plant a row of cotton. sowing all of his plantation in grain. This is one way to solve the problem and it is a pity that all the farmers are not so fortunately situated as Mr. Scott t 1 1 1 X, that they mignt also oe aDie 10 take this step.-Charlotte Observer. Saved His Wife's Life. "My wife would have been in her Save today," writes 0. H. Brown, of ' usoadine, Ala., "if it had not been for Dr. King's New Discovery.

In 1906 lightning killed only 169 people in this whole country. One's chances 1 of death by lightning are less than two in a million. The chance of death from liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, la., proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bitters. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood puri.'ier on earth. Only 50c at Ardrev's Drug i Store, Parks Drug Co. and Fort Mill Drug Co.
