Telephone, / locai and long distance. No. 112. , Kntered at the postofllee at Fort Mill, 8. C., as mall mutter of the second class, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1922. A. E. Gonzales, principal if not sole owner of The State company, Columbia, says that The State company is not a^part of the monopoly which is doing the legis-1 lntive printing tor the Stale ot | South Carolina, about which something was heard in York county during the recent campaign. If Mr. Gonzales were asked why The State company and the R. L. Bryan company, bidding jointly in the fall of 1916 for the legislative printing for the years 1917-18, with the knowledge that the two companies were in position to force the joint committee on printing to accept their bid or allow the Legislature to go without printing, refused to do any of the work unless they were awarded the contract for printing the acts for the two years at a materially higher price than that offered by a Charleston concern, whose bid the committee was n therefore compelled to reject? A. _ E. Gonzales likely enough would say that he had no knowledge of such an incident ami that The State company was not then nor has it since been TT*purt of any printing monopoly. And if one should go a little farther and auk A. E. Gonzales why The State company, bidding this yeur as usual with the It. L. Uryan com puny for the legislative printing, is now seeking to charge the people of South Carolina around 200 per cent more for certain publications in the legislative printing than his company and the Bryan company churged for practically the same work in 1910, as the bid clearly shows, the man asking the question probably would get little definite information. It can v ' to be said in justice to the Bryan company, however, that that concern has yet to Assume an arbitrary, bullheaded attitude in its 1 - i! . ?ll 1 1 i * A reunions wiiii itie joint committee on printing. In the opinion of at least one member of the joint committee on printing, the legislative printing would be done at a lower cost if the setting of the price were left to the Bryan company alone. Pity the man who gets the well head because of advancement in position. When levelheaded people see men thus affected, they kuow these men are misfits. To be cashier or president of a bank, member of the Legislature or governor or to hold any other position of honor and ? 1 i. 1 rebpunsiDtiuy hops hot cause reui men to become nil puffed up with elf importance. Such transitory . v honors should not cause any one to overestimate himself and thereby underestimate others.

One trouble with so many of us it .that we look upon luxuries as necessities and wince with or without them. A newspaper in Cleveland,Ohio, is creating a disturbance because Pacific coast oranges are lakl down in New York at $5.25 a box I and in Cleveland at $12.75. The freight makes the difference. The shipments for New York go by the Panama canal, whilyC'leve?and gets its oranges by the transcontinental routes. Of all the eussable things in the higli cost of living, freight rates are the most obvious.
