Why the Doub'e Standard" There are two very \stinct classes of newsnp- in this count- wAtremes?and the public sets a different standard for eacht Just why, no one knows, but it does. Of the one it requires truthfulness, decency and moderation. Of the other it requires nothing?it just takes what is handed o.ut, and looks for more. The great metropolitan daily gathers up the news of the - - _ , world and that news is read at the breukfast tabfe, or during the day, or after the evening meal. The reader seldom pauses to remember that reporters and editors have warped and colored miirh of tbnt. news un to satisfv the public craving for sensations. It may contain a few grains of truth and a few bushels of fake. The country paper gathers up the news of the home community and sends it forth on press day. That news must be TRUE, or the editor's reputation for veracity is ruined and his career of usefulness is at an end. Faults that are condoned or entirely overlooked in the big daily are unanimously condemned in the humble weekly. The city daily often builds up a tremendous circulation by pandering to one of the worst elements in humanity-the insatiable desire for scandal. The country weekly builds up its circulation by catert /\ \ h iivh/n? nlnno Jll|s t\J 4.1 Ili^lICi ^/iaiJV Ul tUIAVIIship, by the dissemination of facts in its news columns, by a rigiji adherence to truthfulness I in its utterances. The world has apparently learned to expect about a certain amount of fakery, B exageration. sensationalism and sensuality in the metropolitan daily though happily there are a few dailies that are disappointing to their readers in this respect, they are decent. Of the country weekly it demands the H 1 rnwriiinir nf the simiirht. and narrow path -the elimination of suggestive and questionable matter?the publication of a sheet which would not shock Christ if he came to earth. Why the double standard? Not being on the spot, we arc unable to say whether, in oui opinion, a majority of the voters of Yorkville desire a change of name for the town. However, || we have a pretty strong idet that were the voters of the en tire county allowed to pats or the question, York's county seal would wake up the morning H after with the "ville" still tackeci I onto the end of its name. ? Ill i i. ?I I The Times might devote spact to saying that the Germans har gained a few paces on the Allies, or vice versa, during the lasi few days, and the chances ?r< the situation would change be fore the paper rencher its readers. Therefore, we will conteni ourselves with saying that fron -all reports both sides are yet ir fighting trim and the slnughto goes on. Among the most notable acts pi" the present Legislature is th? .repealing of the acreage reduc ' tion law, which cost the State some $100,000, and allowing the warehouse law, whifch in time will cost an even greater amount, to remain on the statute books. It now seems that South Carolina's school law, if such a law be enacted, will contain so many "ifs," "ands" and "crooks" that even the author would not know it were he to meet it in ' the road.

Must Not Allow Overdrafts. i John Skelton Williams, Comptroller of the currency, has sent the following letter bearing on the subject of overdrafts to National banks all over the ( country. "The granting by some banks ' of accommodatiohs in the form of overdrafts is objectionable and cannot be countenanced by , this office. "This practice should cease j entirely. To facilitate the accomplishment of this result, the subject has been taken up by this office with the banking departments of various States, and these authorities have generally agreed to take the necessary action to secure the effective coODeration of State banks in at taining the end desired. "You are requested to adopt a resolution directing that no officer or employee of your bank i shall pay or charge to the account of any depositor any check of such depositor when there are not sufficient funds on deposit to the credit of the drawer of the check to meet the same. "Please forward a certified copy of the resolution to this office as soon as it has been adoDted. Let the resolution show the names of the directors present at the meeting.

After many hours of debate and many more of considering amendments, the Sinkler bill requiring attendance on the public , schools passed third reading in the senate Tuesday and was ordered sent to the house on a yea and nay vote of 29 to 15. The vote was remarkable in that every senator voted. As sent to the house, the bill provides for the local option i feature with the school district as the unit. The law must be ] . 4:1.: i . it Ivuifu in miu nui ptruuuimu oil, as provided in the original bill, and the enforcement of its pro.! visions is left in the hands of . the school trustees.

York County News items. (Yorkville Enquirer.) I Since the county commission- < ers at their meeting Wednesday j have definitely decided upon the < route of the Yorkville-Rock Hill j road, it is quite likely that the chaingang will be moved St once, and the new camp will be ! situated somewhere between Yorkville and Fishing Creek < bridge. The camp will remain l in the vicinity of Yorkyille for a ! period of eight or nine months. | There are at present about 45 j convicts on the chaingang. 1 Magistrate A. J. Quinn of J Clover, accompanied by George . Sparrow, S. O. Gordon and C. H. Hedrick, captured another moonshine still near King's Mountain battleground yesterday. The still was in operation when the officers approached; but the moonshiners got information of the situation in time to getaway with the worm and other things that were easily movable. The ty>sse destroyed a lot of mash with the still. William David MeCarter, an account of whose shooting on the premises of his mother, Mrs. i Kate MeCarter, on Yorkville 1 No. 6, last Tuesday morning, I was given in the last issue of !

Lipscomb, pastor of Ciover and Union Baptist churches. There was a wholesale robbery at Hickory Grove last night or |. early this morning which was discovert when the stores , of Messrs. J. N. McGill & Son, Kirby Bros.' Drug Store, Hickory Grove Hardware Co., and J. M. and C. R. McGill were opened for business this morning. All four of the stores had been broken into by the forcing of windows, etc., and immediate investigation developed the fact that quite a good deal of merchandise and other articles were otnlnn OtUI^JJ, Liquet Men Up in Arms. That the organized liquor interests of this country contemplate a fight against the passage of a State-wide prohibition law by the Legislature, now in session, was forecast by the jeceipt of a telegram by Secretary of State McCown from the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association of Cincinnati asking the names of the State officials and members of the Legislature. The information was immediately furnished.
