For nineteen years I have striven a: bard us ever man did to give Clieraw ? creditable paper and to deserve tbe "we lone" of the | ample of tbe town am county. 1 have made mistakes am will not be at all surprised if 1 make more, but one tiling sure, every mistake that may have been made was an erroi of judgement and not of tbe heart. I do not feel that I have received tin support of tbe business men of tbe towi that should have been accorded me However, this idea may be one of mj mistakes and it may be that I reallj received more at their hands than I de served, lie that as it may, there is uc one that will question the fact that foi a newspaiier to exist it must have tin \ patronage of tbe business men of tin I place. Unless tbe merchants patronise [ the advertising column^ of a pai?er thai paper will soon cease to exist. ^^^^^^i^tba^^R^nri^^^Tias lieeu in exi*Trmt longer than every other paper ever published in Cheraw combined.

J. X. STRICKLIX. THE GET RICH QUICK FEVER. A man who is in a hurry to get ricd quick, who is an opportunist with thi money bag, got his chance recently. War stocks went up and up and up It looked like a cinch. But the men on the inside with in telligence financial far above the met oil the outside?well, these .simpl; know better, better. One Saturday night Broadway wa bloated with folks who raked in a pit of easy money on exchange. The gam biers who had lost weren't there, o course.

Ever realize that we in America have been trained in almost everyjr thing except citizenship? 5, We are told that it is our "duty" to vote; and that is the sum total of ' our training in the most necessary of ; = civic virtues. Schools should interest the young J mind in public men, in the machinery s of government, the latter will dogen- i they have a hand in it, and that if all act conscientiously, ?he government t cannot help being in response to their ( will. I it tney taKe no interest m pudiic men, public issues and the machinery c - of government the latter will degen- { erate to tliat "invisible government" f f which Elihu Root recently referred to r r dramatically. 1 A republican form of government j demands intelligence by its citizens? not the intelligence of culture generally. but the ability to discern the 3 good and ill tendencies of government and strike out boldly for the good. ; We need more interest in American citizenship, and not an overwhelming interest in American dollars. I. "I am an American" should be the _ greatest word in tli.- language to evrv American. And every American should be a s good citizen in works as well as in \ * name. 1 Yes, let's teach citizenship in the ^ j schools. It's about time. t 1 f INERIOR WATERWAYS TRAFFIC. 4 The company recently organized to ? operate boats form Chicago to New <j 1 Orleans has gone into bankruptcy. It 'J is rather peculiar, as the company C y seemed to have a fair success. u , ^And us this concern was foundering J on financial rocks, the Great Lakes Q were enjoing the greatest tonnage in their history. You can ship freight s from Duluth to Buffalo by train and f there is plenty of railroad competition * ' but the Great Lakes route for freight s still stands supreme. One would think that river transpor ^ tation would likewise be at least half p ! as successful as the Great Lakes traf- j t fic up the MissisftHM^. the Missouri, the t< w^ldbe highly developed; and ' ^Arlo^sa^^^^att^lfhe Tennessee, ^ the Wabash, the Green rivers would perform the same functions for the big .ivers as branch lines do for the lar- p ;er railroads.

"The Fra." the peculiar magazin founded by the late Elbert Hubbarl and at present conducted by Hubbarl Jr.j undoubtedly has caused the Penn sylvania railroad to sit up and tak aotice. The magazine is published at Eas Aurora, N. Y? which is on the Penn j.'lvania lines. Tlie publishers alsi jpcrate a large farm. Side by side, in the magazine, pic ures of their pig pen and the statioi )f the railroad appeared--and the pij ien by far had the best of it.

Tom Grover's Courtship By SARAH BAXTER "What does this mean. Lord Titevad?" asked Tom Grover, a young tmericau multimillionaire. "You agreed o engineer my entree into Loudon solety for a consideration and $25,000 laced where it would do the most ;oud, and here I am placed in a push iou that should insure my banishment rorn any respectable social circle." "Weally, Mr. Grover, I?I"? "1 would rather." the other went on ugrlly. "have had this happen in any ther family than the Grosvenors.

"Not even Miss Marian?" "Good gracious, man. do you suposfc sbe would publish such a matter bout her own mother?" "I must straighten the matter out vith this high spirited young woman f it requires ten years and my for une. You understand the family peuliarities better than I: tell me of ome favorable point of attack." Lord Titewad spent seme time In bought, during which Grover walked he floor like a fretful tiger; then the ormer said: "Miss Gn.svenor Is much interested u the Waterloo hospital." The American looked at him inqulr ugly for a few moments, then said: "I see. That will do. I?rd Titewad fou need net concern yourself any furher in my Introduction to Loudon soiety.

On Dec. 30fas, he wrote Miss Grosvenor that on New >nd Year's day in America calls were in orin j der and if she would graciously permit 11, him to make on her the only call lie the I cared to make in London he would not i.vsj trouble her further, for he was about os j ro sail for home, lie; Grover's attempt to make Miss Gros as. j veaor's acquaintance was a very round 6W about and expensive one. but when he , Jbl i reached the last stage it was very sini os pie. Miss Grosvenor replied that It bio would be very ungracious for him to ro- leave Loudon without giving her an. 'e< opportunity to thank him for the gen ] die; erous gifts he had bestowed on the led London poor and suffering. She would' lor be delighted to receive him. die It cannot be expected that the meet >er ing between the two could ocruf withler out embarrassment on both sides. Mr Grover had the tact to make his cull * 100 very short, giving some trumped up if- reason for haste, but begged permlsbe slon to call again before his departure, as when he would be less hurried,"to say ng goodby. It is needless to say that the ng request was granted, and he felt en he oouraged. oh If Grover bad any idea of an early lie return to America after receiving this ve permission, he gave it up later. He ier remained in England six months longer, by and when he returned Marian Grosbe renor went with him as his wife. _ / ion Completes | tch?the Perfection 1 ponse.
