Once in a while somebody gets the idea that the reason the local paper does not report every scandal that comes to public knowledge is because the publisher is afraid. That's not the reason. The reputable newspaper, especially in a small town, where everyone is a neghbor to everyone else, takes no delight in giving publicity to those things that have breught disgrace to some family or a heartache to some wife or mother. It is much more pleasant to record the good things that happen, to tell about the incidents that tend to make life more endurable and that uplift rather than tear down, that bring joy instead of sorrow, pride instead of heartache. So if you don't always find in the Advertiser the delectable bit of gossip that would doubtless make "good reading," and if you are inclined to blame th< editor because he doesn't print all the news, consider that some home has had enough worry over unfortunate happenings and that the gossip and scandal mongers of the community can and will gladly and ghoulishly give sufficient publicity to the details to satisfy the lowest tastes. Incidentally it might be remarked here that the most complaint of censored news comes from people who have had in their lives some things they an glad were not given newspapei publicity. ?Sharpsville (Pa.) Advertiser. In Fact. Editing a newspaper is a pleasing business?if you can stand it. If subscribers want to bawl out anybody?the editor's the ! goat. If the town is lagging behind and people won't get out ana make things hum ?it's because the town paper is on the bum. If business is bad ?it's because the editor wants too much money for his advertising space. If business is good?advertising hasn't anything to do with it. but conditions are right. If we print what pleases people?that is our duty and we deserve no credit. If we print what is displeasing ? we are a grouch and a crepehanger, and don't deserve the patronage of the public. If we print the news as it is, actually?people call us over the phone and tell us to stop their paper. If we garble it?they tell us | we are subsidized by the cor porate interests. Editing a newspaper is a pleasing business?it is not* A prominent Ohioan who visited this state a few days ago gave as his opinion that the recent bloodshed at Youngstown, Ohio, was the result of so many foreigners not being able to understand the language and customs of this country and being inflamed, excited and led by agitators who have no regard for thej peace of the country. This statement is significant, and only adds to the argument that the congress of the United States should tighten up on the law permitting foreigners to land on American soil. A majority of those who come here from the old country are of the icnorant naunpp class who art* more inclined to create trouble than to help our country be a better place in which to live. We would be pleased to see one of the Fort Mill banks institute a Christmas saving club, such as is conducted by the banks in a number of South Carolina towns. Many a man and child who would have little money at Christmas is enabled through the savings club to have some spare cash for the holiday festivities. The Times hastens to congratulate the newly elected mayor and members of city council. May their administration be pleasant and may they accomplish much good for the town during this and the next vear. The Times w?H with the next issue drop from its lists a numI i? *i* ii - received.

Succeeds Mr. Carothers. Arthur L. Parks, of this city, has been appointed registrar of vital statistics for Fort Mill township, succeeding W. M. Carothers, resigned. Postmaster Masse? Reappointed. Tuesday's newspapers stated that the president had sent to the senate the nomination of Mr. B. Henry Mas3ey as postmaster for the Fort Mill office. oer 01 names n ine amounts due on these subscriptions are not paid or satisfactorily arranged for before that date. Governor Manning's Message. Governor Richard I. Manning in a message to the South Carolina legislature which met in annual session at Columbia Tuesday at noon., recommended that the state provide for a board of conciliation empowered to take testimony under oath and act as in arbitral medium in labor disputes, advocated amendment of the child labor law raising the age limit from 12 to 14 years, ^tressed what he termed the necessity for legislation in behalf of the worker, particularly women, and urged passage of a workmen's compensation act. The governor also recommended that agriculture be made a part of the common school curriculum stating iTi this connection that South Carolina'will sooner 01 later seriously feel the effects o 1 the boll weevil and that crop diversification is necessary. Governor Manning touched or the liquor question only in stating that the new laws should be rigidly enforced. John Roddey for Congress? Chester friends of John T. Roddey, in conversation with a representative of The Record a few days ago, at that place, suggested that he would be an ideal man for Congress from this district.?Rock Hill Record. Nr. Hafner Welcomed to Gaffney. Welcome services for the Rev. W. A. Hafner, pastor of Limestone street Presbyterian church, were held at the church Sunday evening, says the Gaffney Ledger.
