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

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.
The Akron, Ohio, chamber of
commerce reports 1,433,051 more

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. If the farmer has
a car load of melons or truck go
