THURSDAY. JANUARY 13, 1916.
The Editor's Job.
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.

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.
