IOW RAILROAD PAID FOR COW.
Permitted the Owner to Blow Whistle
from Clinton to Newberry.
Somewhere about 65 years ago,
ind shortly after the railroad was
milt from Newberry to Laurens, a
low was killed by the train a short
iistance from Clinton. The owner of
;he cow came to Clinton and applied
:o the railroad authorities for pay
!or the cow the train had killed. They
>ut him off with some excuse, but he
continued to come and demand pay
.'or his cow, and the railroad men
jontinued to put the matter off. So
)ne day he made this proposal to the
'ailroad men: If they would let him
ride on the engine with the engineer,
- - * ' V v ^ A 1 "U ^
ina diow me wnisne as mucn as ue
pleased for one trip to Newberry and
Dack, he would count the cow paid
for. This was accepted and a day
set. On the day appointed he came to
Clinton, and taking his place on the
engine commenced to blow the whis:le.
He "blowed" the whistle all the
vay to Martin's depot and all the time
:hrough Kinards. Below Kinards
i short distance they had to stop the
train to get up steam and water. At
Jalapa the railroad men came round
md promised to pay for the cow if he
would stop blowing the whistle. But,
no sir, he had paid for the right to
blow the whistle to his entire satisfaction,
and he intended to blow it.
At Newberry all the time they were
turning the engine around and getting
the train ready to come back to
Clniton he was blowing the whistle.
It was while there that the railroad
men offered to pay him twenty-five
dollars?fifty dollars?and I believe
even one hundred dollars, if he would
stop blowing the whistle and ride
back in the passenger coach. But,
no, sir, he had paid for the right to
blow that whistle to his entire satisfaction
and he intended to blow it.
He contineud to blow the whistle all
the way from Newberry to Clinton,
and the train had to stop two or three

The train was several hours late;
but from that day to this, when this

a man pay for it by blowing the

Fortunately most business printing
is in black and white. Those are the
time-tried, tested and true colors
that are always good.
We can go a long way with nothing
more. But there are times and
occasions when we want a dash ot
variety?when we want to use color
?when we like to break loose from
the sobriety of just black and white.
We have heard a lot about the
scarcity of dyes, and in anticipation
of such scarcity we have already bowed
to a wave of fashion in which
black and white have been fiercely
contrasted in stripes and checks on
wallpaper, in carpets and, of course,
in women's clothes.
There is no levity in our apprehension
that this fashion may be more
severely forced upon us in every direction
unless the fighters get a smattering
of sense pretty soon and quit
their foolishness.
There is scarcity of color. It af
fects not only your fancy vest and
Christmas cravats, your wife's hat
and side-laced shoes, the new wallpaper
for the living-room and the
new madras draperies for the guest
room?but also your own business, ,
no matter what it may be, provided
you use printing of any kind.
For color is color, and it makes no
difference where or how you are go
ing to use it. When it's scarce you
have to pay a premium for it, or you
can't get it at all, and you're just
as bad off if you want it for a little
mailing insert as if you ran a woolen
mill and wanted it for a million yards
of blue serge.
Already the price of some colors
has increased 1,000 per cent. That
means a forced raise of a large
amount in the price of inks, and an
addition of from one to five cents a
pound to the cost of paper.
You may think that ordinary print-j
ers' ink is too small a matter to worry
about, and if you do you are'
wrong. Halftone black in the grade,
you ought to use to do credit to your
engravings can't be had for much less ;
than $1 a pound, yet you can't cover1
much surface with a pound of ink.
It isn't unusual for an average catalogue
to soak up $25 to $50 worth
of plain black ink. That goes into
your bill. Ten per cent, on the ink
cost alone makes enough to think
about seriously. Many a printer has
lost an order because he was a couple

PAPER SCARCE, SAY MAKERS.
Stocks Are Low and Raw Material
Not to Re Had Anywhere.
Printers are advised by manufacturers
that unless the scarcity of raw
material for paper making is relieved
shortly some of the mills must be
closed.. Arthur C. Hastings, president
of the American Writing Paper
company, Holyoke, Mass.. writes:
"The country is facing the greatest
general paper famine in its history.
The stocks in the hands of our jobbers
are very low, our imports have
been practically cut off, and our exports
are greater than ever before.
What is more, I can see no relief in
sight. I do not know how we are
going to meet the situation."
An appeal made to women in 1801
by New England paper manufacturers
to save their rags is recalled by
floral HonnrtmpTit of commerce.
UIO IVUVyl Ui ViVfw* ,
in a circular issued Friday, urging
every one to hoard both paper and
rags to avert a threatened shortage
of paper making materials. It is declared
the need is as urgent now as
then. A great part of the paper
thrown away every day should be
used over again, the circular declares.
The paper saving crusade
was suggested by paper manufacturers.
,
of dollars high on the kind of ink he
wanted to use.
Same thing when it comes to paper.
If you specify blue bond today it will
cost you about three cents a pound
more than it did a few months ago.
That's about thirty cents on a thousand
ordinary letterheads for paper
increase alone.
Cover stocks, weighing rrom sixiy i
to a hundred pounds a ream, and al-'
most invariably in colors, have gone|
up the same way. The difference is j
plainly from a dollar to perhaps five
dollars a ream of 500 sheets.
Even type is more expensive, because
it contains metals affected
strongly by war conditions.
Photographs will cost more and
may be impossible to get because the
supply of developers of certain kinds
is almost exhausted.
Finally, there is no phase of the
printers' craft and its auxiliaries that
is not affected along the line of es
sentially higher prices.

Sunday-school for twenty years

What He Wanted.
"Is there any mail for John or *
me?" inquired the general delivery j
patron. e
"You're strangers to me," retorted c
the postal clerk. "Do you suppose I jcan
tell people's names by looking at c
them?" s
"I don't see that it makes any difference
if I am a stranger. Look and
see if there is any mail for John or
me?John Orr Mee." i
He got his letter from a much sub- J
dued postal clerk.
During the six months from April
to September, 1915, 620 motor cars
of American make were imported into
India, as against 407 made in
Great Britain.
Fire Insurance.
Many fire insurance companies are
withdrawing from South Carolina on
account of the new law passed by the
last legislature regulating the Tariff
association. I have ample facilities
for handling all fire risks in old line
companies. Give me your business.
