Thursday, March 1, 1900. i ______________ A letter from Marlboro published in the Florence Times last week ' says that county is overrun with blind tigers, and men supposed to be first class men are selling liquor. A sad state of affairs surely. ;??v. * * Really, some newspaper men in South Carolina need a guardian. We received an advertising proposition a yshort time ago from a New. York !' firm. No price was asked for, but we were to insert the ad. and send ?|c the bill with marked copy of the ragfr' paper.. We wrote the gentlemen i that we would print their advertise .i. -.T ^An/VTT An/1 1* fnieuc upon receipt iu muun ui?vi covering charge or if they would send satisfactory business references. Of course they haven't doue either. We didn't expect them to. But we notice that several good newspapers ill the State are running the stuff, and if they get any pay for it we will be very much surprised. Last week we also refused a contract from a South Carolina agency for the reason that we did not care to publish it at price offered. Still, other papers published it at the same price offered us. This newspaper has as little to do with advertising agencies as possible, and we think it high time that he Press Association take hold of this matter. Just so long as these fellows cau "bilk" some news paper men those of us who are or to their tricks are at a disadvantage ? nmir ni A IV TDTTTI1C I__ A I & ft XTAjA.?.i> 1ULI Governor Miles ?}. McSweeney when he came into his present offict inaugurated a system of dealing J with his fellow newspaper men tha J should entitle him to a monumen frat their hands?and an ante-mortec fe.r testimonial at that As the chie I-'"'-- magistrate of a great State he want ed to keep himself posted as to wha the people were doing. He coul not keep up better with the histor f. 'of' the State day by day than b reading its newspapers. It is moi than likely that 90 per cent, of tt Bsi editors in the State would have bee ! glad to have sent him their pape] u complimentarily. Governor M< % Sweeney is a newspaper man hin jjelf, and hit experience with dea( heads and dead-beats * moved h & bowels with compassion toward h ~ .hard working and poorly paidbretl ren. He promptly subscribed f? every publication in the State ar paid for them too. There are a few more men in pu ES? lie life, scattered over this bro: ?_ v country of ours, who do similar! but the great majority of the ? called "statesmen" are not so co fj siderate. A great many of the don't want to pay for their hoi |a paper. They demand^it as a sort regal right, free of charge, and th flv ir?fn l-ftup if. bv accident, the \ Iper fails to reach them any day week. In addition to this they lc the long-suffering editor with prii ed and type-written copies of th speeches and .other public wor ' and in this w,ay insolently dema columns upon columns of free ; vertising. When they are Candida . they are always eager to give the itor "the glad hand (and that's ab< all thetr do do) but once they come safelv seated they turn 1: down in the most marble hear manner. Now, as Mark Antony declaret Brutus and Casca and Cassius, "tl are honorable men," and, we fajn to believe, btit few would st< to. cheat or swindle .me of tl fellow men. Yet, if this contii demand for the stock and trade t* " .. . the newspaper man is not someti akin to these offenses we are judge. A publisher's advertii space and subscription list are much his stock in trade as groceries or dry goods, or horses {mules, of any other business r Our columns are always open news, and we try to fili them < yveek with the latest aud most it esting. We don't puff the ware the merchant, and we don't be . , in puffing the statesman. Mos , the speeches that they demand nfnns to fill, have no particular , cal interest, wd as news would be worth ha^a dozen lines. The-Federal government pro> our national statesman with a organ in which to "keep theins before their constituents," Congressional Record. Let stick to this. As for the lights, the minnows, as it wer the great fishery of public lif them put up the cash whenwaut their fu'minations set foi >ld type and the average editor ill forever bless them, perhaps * i ive them'his vote, and may, if they iul ?er do or say'anything that is of iterest to their readers' set forth ' si tieir doings and sayings ufree gratis 31* nothing" in the news columns It f their papers. If the truths that'are above plain* r ks v set forth succeed in stirring the ~ ? e. onsciences and opening the po?*ket- :l looks of some of our South Carolina ^ Congressmen then we have not w ri t- 1 11 en in vain* ^ A Model Platform. Here is the platform of a gentlenan over in Georgia who wants to s go to the legislature, which we clip i from the Augusta Chronicle. As ' this is campaign year in South Car- 1 olina we republish it for the benefit J of our aspiring friends: , "I ask the support of the honor- i able people of Wilkes for the legislature upon the following propositions : I am on both sides of the prohibition question?anything to all men. I am a financial failure myself, but think I can manage other people's finances. In other words, can't manage my own business, but think I can attend to other people's. Am a failure at farming, but am fully competent to advise others how to farm. Am opposed to the dog law one day, and in favor of it the next. I know nothing of enacting laws, but think it a good time to inform myself. I am a free silver man and a gold bug man,according to the company I am in. Can easily adapt myself to any political issue, I having an elastic conscience and an ! accommodating turn of mind. I love the common people, and grasp their hands gladly while soliciting their rotes, but afterwards, like Vanderbilt, I say 'damn the people.' I will ask a voter to take a drink (for vote only) and then curse, the blind tiger. I denounce the city court, and in the next breath endorse ( it. I am in favor of free passes, and then legislate against railroads. I am" the only straddler in the race. I believe in noticing poor folks in 1 and during this race, even to the ex 1 rent of giving free drinks in the 5 rear of stores, or even at my house, aud after my election, forgetting said'poor folks until the next cam1 paign. "I am the poor man's friend, foi .votes only, ignoring them after dec tion. I will lobby, accept bribes absent myself from the daily sessi ' ons, aud promptly collect iny pel diem. I "So far I have met. with universa t encouragement, aud if elected I wil t visit my constituents twice a weel on my free pass, and remain three II days each time.

Kipling loves to write an an- S nal story better than anything else, and t< hen his physicians allowed him to re- U lrn to work he instinctively turned to tl lis series which he had had in mind for >j ears.
