the plfy of it is tliat Hill is absolutely

unanimously shut eyed and wrong
Mr. Hill presented undeniable fact,
and unlying figures to prove that “tin
idea we (the United Mate.) arc feeding
the world is being corrected : and tin
le*s we can ir,vrev«e the sgrlcu’tural

8 1 per cent of the American people
lived in towns, At the time of the
civil war the per cent had risen to U>

grows steadily greater and accounts in

Add to this the tbr-e quarters of *
million immigrants that have come an
nually to the United States since HXfJ
and there is an Iricrease of from two
to two and a half million bread eater
each year.
All tbe while there has been * grnd
iihI decline in tbe average production
of wheat. In Iowa, w here the mvr.g

along and .ought ti> bHiiler him into
a purchase. He wa* a Jovial mun, and,
although the farmer couldn't see his
way clear to buying, the other saw his
way dear to do him a go'.i Lurn. and
he finally naked the demon why he
had not married again.
••Htvnuse I don't know of anybody
that would have me." admitted tho
deacon, with almost a blush.
••Whew! Why. man, you nro way
behind the times! Say. I can give yon
tlie name of a widow right now. She's
it bout fitly years old. and she lives in
Knunder*ville. Owns her own house
and lot. and I guess she lias money.”
“She might have me and she might
not." answered I lie deacon.
“But how are you going to know un
til you try? Say. man. I believe you
are lolling a good thing slip away."
The deacon thought it over after the
agent had gone, am! he thought it over
when the children wrangled over the
(■tipper table artd after they had gone
to hed The nwult was that next day
he drove over to Sanndersv ide. If
was an hour after he reached the vil
lage Iwfore lie li ned call upon the vvid
nw. and then he rmido the slimsiesf
sort of excuse. He hemmed and hawed
and finally asked If she had eider bar
rels to sell^ The Widow Taylor stis-
pr< ted the real object of his visit and
smiled at his wanting eider barrels in
May. but she didn't smile t-> hurt Ms
feelings. She let him down easy, and
he returned home feeling quite cliirky.
It was only when he drove Into Id*
yard and found live of the children
I lulling hair on the grass that a chill
came over him. Dare he ever pop the
question and own up to the seven?
'Hint night, after the children had
fought themselves to bid and to steep,
the deacon got out pon and paper and
wrote a letter to the woman whom he
had seen a few hour* before. He told
„f his situation very truthfully until
he came to the nnndior of Ids children,
lie dared not admit tu seveu. It was
deception to say "several,” but he de
ceived. "A widower with several in
teresting children.” he put it. and ear
ly next morning lie gave it to a pass
ing farmer to mail. Only two hour*
had gone by. and the children had
had but one free for all scrap, when
Ids heels suddenly lifted from the
ground. S11 ppo.se his letter led the
widow to saying yes. She must then
know that lie had seven* instead of
several children, and what would be
the result? She would claim decop
lion and probably sue lifm for dam
ages. His own letter would convict
him. It was a warm May day. but tlu
deacon shivered. Half an hour later
he was driving to S.uuidorsvllle again.
Hi* letter to the widow would reach
there at 3 o'clock in tho afternoon, and
he must get hold of it.
It was a very nervy thing for the
deacon to go to the |>ostoftice at th<
proper hour and Inquire for mail for
the Widow Hastings, hut he had work
ed up Ids courage and the postmis
tress happened to be umisually busy
and so Hie letter was handed out and
he started for home. An hour after
his doing so the widow herself ap
peared at the office and asked for mall
and wn* fold that a letter had been
handed out. Tbe postmistress couldn't
remember to whom, and a row was on
fi.-et . w-**.-
That smhd forth to your buoyant
beat.
Homeward its course no more to trace
Sometimes you fret, then grow con
tent
To dream of those enchanted tilings,
Which to the gray, drear past have
lent
The spoiler.- splendor of their w ings!

to humanity is worth more to the heart and the hope than the riches
that take winys and fly away. In tloinjr as one best can that work
for which he has the love that lasts from fint to the final work
hours of one’s span of existence there is a happiness that can
neither be lost or taken away.
Hut the interests and achievements of today are of larger interest
than the traditions of yesterday and the great expectations of tomor
row. So. before a^ain taking a hick seat wc will recite briefly the
lesson learned slowly through nearly a third of a century of editorial
schooling.
And wc pay our respects first to that much misunderstood and
frequently scolded person, the delinquent subscriber. He or she is a
very numerouAIndividual in thisrStute excepting in the counties of
York, Spartanburg, -Newberry and Hambcrg, where he and she have
been converter! to a different way of thought and conduct.
The existence of the delinquent subscriber as a constant epidemic
is largelv chargeable, in this ultra commercial period, to the attempted
combination of business and profession, that will no more mix than
oil aml-wat*rf, for no man or wam3.tLcan„s?rvc two masters. There
has been a long lasting and wide spread and tinfortunaTeTy~Truc. pro-
tem, theory that the newspaper must rely upon advertising patronage
for sufficient revenue to pay its expenses and keep the wolf from the
sanctum door, while subscription jayments may be counted on to
furnish pocket change. The advertiser makes the quantity and not
the quality of circulation the measure of patronag* .and standard of.,
price, and the publisher too often kotows, giving the merchant of
medicine maker the best display, position and price. The delinquefi{
subscriber, though he may never have set fopt in a prim shop,
recognizes in the “make up” the littleness of consideration for him
or herself and the largeness of- the esteem in .atrhich Col. Merchant
Prince Advertiser in held.
So through this misunderstanding of their proper relations the
subscriber and publisher, who should be to cacii othiSr .£» Davids and
Jonathans may have only a surface regard between them.
“Cut out” that feeling. Give the average. apb^criber equal • con
sideration and value received and he will prove 4$ honest as the news
paper worker, For love provokes lovg and the man is rare who con
sents treated by somebpdy. else withwatevur setting them
