Some of the replies are interesting to a close read er of newspapers. The .opinion of a lawyer, ex-judge and ex-publisher, eame in this form "Slush ami rottenness has no place in a newspaper to be read any more. than it would be on your table to be eaten. So much of crime, properly edited should be published as to disgust the public with it. and if it is given to the public it should be for all without fas or and not for the unfortunate fee.. The whole matter calls for the heist judgment on the part of tin* edi tor, who should sit on the lid and not permit an overzealous reporter to publish ?-otU,n news." From n minister: "1 believe thai I all tho ciime and immorality ought to b>' eliminated from our newspapers that is possible and only actual news facts be published. As a rule F think it is better to leave reports of the police courts out, however, .there are times ulien to stale the facts might do good.

LIHKUTY ll 1 1 i TIMBKK. Rights Sold to Lumbermen For Con sideration of $12,500. Hiiych Hvos. of Lancaster, who sometime ago bought the old McDow place, consisting of 1,000 acres or more, in Cedar Creek township and lying on or near Catawba river> just above Liberty Ilill, have sold the tim ber right* to Hutton & Bourbannais, lumbermen, of Hickory, N. C., for a consideration of $12,600 cash. The lumbermen, according to the contract w ill have eight years in which to remove the timber, after which if they remain on the property, a new lease will have to be secured. The contract stipulates that only trees of certain size will be cut and no ground is to be cut over a second time with out the consent of the owners. Opera tions for the removal of the timber will begin as soon as necessary equip ment can be placed on the grounds, which, it is thought, will be a matter of only a few weeks> These lands contain many acres of original growth timber, including vast quantities of fine cedar? properly en dowing the district with the name Cedar Creek. Not only is fine timber to be found b^ the- lands .abound" in sparkling .^iWfnys, creeks and branches and as beautiful scenery as one will find in the. two Carolinas. On a part of the lands is much fine granite, for which Cedar Creek is noted. ?Lancas ter News. ADVERTISING. No matter if a merchant has the best goods to be found, and sells thorn at the lowest prices, unless people come into his store to trade, he is going to go broke. If a merchant is to succeed, he must tret people to come into hi* I stole. In order to gel people to come ! into his store, he must advertise. There are various ways of adver tising, by word of mouth, by hand bills or posters, by bill boards, or by usiiuv the columns of the newspapers. Kxperienced merchants sa.? news paper advertising is the best and cheapest, and that the best newspa pers for advertising purposes are those that go into the homes of the people. * Those who have studied the science of advertising say that for the aver age merchant the best advertising medium is the weekly newspaper* the newspaper that goes into the homes of the people and is read b.v every member of the family. Advertising in a daily paper is no! without its value, but th^ life of a daily paper is only hours at best The advertising life of a week!\ news paper is at least one week, and often lunger.- The average weekly news paper carries reading matter that people keep and refer to often long after the paper is issued. No newspaper ad\crtismg n* so valuable, according to its cost, a . tha' appearing in the high grade weekly newspapers of the country. A Tip To Camden Fishermen.

On Sunday, April 8th, a dinner was given in his honor. A large number of children, grandchildren and great' grandchildren were present, wjjh ?ome other relatives and connection and a few family friends. To be exact, 1(slxty-six persons partook of the din ner. j To few men has it been given to equal ('apt. (My bum's record as A cit i?n. He was born in thin county less than four mile# from his present home anc^ has lived all of his life in that neighborhood. As a young man he served in the ?oivfederate army, as a member of the 7th Battallion, Co. G., Hagoods Brigade, and was wounded in the knee at Gettysburg. He married first Miss Mary J. Kel ley, and to this union seven children were born, Ave of whom survive. He married second Miss Mary H. Kirkland, and to this union was bprn one son, James^ about seven yeara of, age. He has twenty-six. arand chil dren and nine great grandchildren. Captain Clyburn has been wonder fully successful as a business man. He has bougfrtylands ever since his early manhood wOtil now he is the largest landholderXin the .county. He has been dealing wit^i the tenant class of white people and with negroes all of his life in his large farming opera tions, and never in all that time 'does his name appear on our court records as having sued or been sued by any one of them. Hundreds of them look upon him as a friend and have had occasion to seek his protection ?when others have sought to oppress or wrong them, and he has always been found ready. to take the part of the. poor and needy. The county records show no mort gages ever given by him on any of his lands. He has been the sort of farmer all of his life who has lived at home and he has met with the success that his safe business methods has guar anteed. The state and county honor a record like Captain Clyburn's. His children and family take pride in his success and achievements and the younger generations as a whole may well find incentive in his example. Health Nurse Hhh Arrived.
