Theme words is tli? valedictory
of Mr. J. T. 'Bighorn, who re
tired two wjieks a go from the
i4 tiie Chester Lan
tern, e| praaigy eya<ctly the feel
jugs of lite editor of this news
paper and ?a have wanted to say
something along this line since
Ins article appeared, but we have
siuipjy not bad lime. Often have
we deojred and still long to be
in a (hasIUoq where we cau edit
a uewspuper as we believe ii
should .be wiifeout feeing called
on so ffiatiy .oilier dulies. Were
we Co teii of tfce IP?uy different
things we do in oue day most
people would not belaeve us, and
yet we are not different from the
average country newspaper edi
tor.
Few ttuvatry newspaper men
there are who are not over
worked., aud the reasou is thai
their jueome is not sufficient to
employ enough competent help.
Too few of us know what out
work is worth, aud we do entire
ly Wo Much free worlc, which
.costs us wouey and yet we do
.not seem to realise it.
This editor (Joes uot lose sight
.of the iajct that a newspaper is in
a measure# public serf an t, aud
therefor* ?&unot expect re
muuerslJioa for all the servioe*it
renders, font it is nevertheless
true th^t if the average weekly
editor would employ real busi
ness methods in the manage
lueut of his business he would
materially iuorease his iuconie.
But the real reason is there
^re too JU&ny newspapers, aud
us .a result too much price cut
ting, poorly edited and printed
.newspapers, and overworked,
always-hard up editors. Most
country towns in South Carolina
cannot do more than furnish
enough business for one first
^tass newspaper, and yet how
A>any have two in the same
town, with others possibly in the
lounty. And so it goes. There
they all are, doing no more than
folding soul and body together,
hanging on by the skm of the
.teeth as it were, e icing out a
precarious existence, with no
capital to make improvement in
their plant ? many of them hav
ing only a sliirttail full of type
and the bare necessities needed
/or prinlicga newspaper, having
410 tixed rates for advertising or
^ob work, but taking any price
they can get, with an humble,
servile attitude toward the pub
^ |C| talcing pay for subscriptions
in produce, wood, or anything
,:lu*y can get, and agreeing to
'tiade out" with the merchant
|he amount of his advertising
Mil. Is the picture overdrawn?
Answer truthfully aud about
? seventy live per cent, of the
weekly editors will agree with
us.
But there U ft remedy. l>n
pfove your paper, make it uewsy ,
ju'itil it neatly, use attractive
type faces if you liuvo to go in
jlebt to buy it, find out wliut your
work is worth und charge ac
cordingly, have fixed rates and
make all customers pay Iho same
prices. Some of you editors
quit the newspaper business.
Go lo farming. It's a blame
sight more healthful and ir.de
pendent.
Good advice, all of this, pos
sibly you will say, Maybe so,

Ti?e population of Umm coun- 1
tri^s conjoiuUy is MlimftUtl at
05,000,000 which is rapidly in*
creasiujf, and t he combined area
is about 9,000,000 square miles.
Withm the last decade, tlie po
litiral and economic coudi lions
in Latin- America have greatly
changed and improved. They
have oow approximately 30,000]

their navigable streams are be- 1
ins: rupjdly improved. Wagon
roads, or public highways pre
beingconstructed. In short, the
whole region is being re- con
structed along the liues of
modern progress.
Which however of the foreign
natious are being benefitted by
ib>s condition of affairs? Ac
cording to Mr. Fiuley, it is not
the United States, but Great
Britain, Germany and Prance,
by all commercial logic, our peo
pie should occupy a command
ing iullueuce in the circle of
their import trade.
The exports from these coun
tries are mainly unmanufactured
articles all of value to our peo
ple, while their imports consist
largely of manufactured products
which our lieoplc should be able
to furnish cheaper, and of better
quality than can their competi
tors for the trade.
But, we do not occupy that
commanding position. Whj?
We cannot even venture a guess.
Wo can only say ilia". if we could
exchange our agricultural imple
ments, vehicles of overy de
scription, locomotives, cars, ma
chinery, tools, steel rails, build
er's hardware, stoves, cotton
| textiles, vegetable oils ur.d furni
ture for colTce, nitrates, tropical
fruits, mahogany timber, rut
ber and other products of these
countries, we Would be much ad?
vantaged. There surely is a way
by which this can be accom
plished. Naturally these im
ports and exports should be
handled through Southern ports,
so we must look to the Southern
delegations in Congress to un
ravel the tangle*.

"Signing the pledge" is no
new thing, as proved by re
searches in Italy. Interesting
particulars of what would ap
pear to be the earliest examples
of written pledges to abstain
from gambling and excessive
drinking are given in the Turin
Studi Mddievali by Signor Giro
lamo Biscaro, who litis discovered
three such documents in the
archieves of Milan. The first of
these records is an oath sworn
on the gospels by Giacomo pas
quali and Armiuine Duca to the
effect that for two years they
will abstaiu from gambling in
Pavia or within three miles
thereof and will likowise refrain
.from inducing others to gamble
on their behalf The penalty for
any breach of this oath is fixed
at 5 soldi, payable to Papio
Bovatorio.
In the second document Peratio
de Bono promises Uberto do
Proto to abstain from gambling
for a cerliiin period, evception
being made on behalf of the bis
mentiro, at which, however, he
was not to lose more than V
denari on any one day. Portlier,
he undertakes not ty visit any
inn for drinking purposes be
lore the hour of vespers on Mon
day. A breach of either clause
of the pledge involves the pay
inent of 5 soldi to De Proto. Hy
iho third document iSileto Per
rario expressed his willingness
to pay 12 denari to his brother
Lamporio should he be persuaded
to piny for money in any place
of public resort or to spend more
than 2 denari on intoxicants in
any one day.
The motive for ihese contracts
is not staled, but it is presumed
that they were entered into by
employees whose masters wished
to keep their proclivities in
check. There is nothing in the
documents to suggest the ex
istence of any ' organization for
the promotion of temperance.

A Word to the Wise.
Are you laying up stores in
these good years against the
poor oues which ma^ come?
If you don't securely lay up
during the harvest, the drought
of old age will catch you without
provender.
No .natter who you are, where
you are or how old you are, it is
your duty to save money.
Are you rich now? Yow may
become poor if you dou*t save.
Are you poor? You may be
come rich if j'ou save. You will
ulways remain poor if you don't.
Without economy you can't be
rich; with it you need not be
poor.
To have a surplus? capital in
reserve ? is simply throwiug au
auchor to windward.
It will prevent your drifting
into the rocUs of penury.
If you already have capital,
economy will preserve it for your
use in the times of greater need.
If* you have uoue you cau ac
quire it by the same means.
But you must have capital if
y?u would get ahead financially.
Youth is emphatically the time
to begin to save, but it is never
>oo late while your earning ca
pacity is greater tiiau the needs
of yourself aud those dependent
upon you.
But saving is a habit, and like
most habits of life, in the great
majority of cases it must be ac
quired early if at all.
Indeed, the main object of
sa\ing in early life, ia not so
much the actual amount saved,
which may be very small, as it is
the formation of the habit of
economy.
It is an important moment
'"hen a j'ouug man or young
woman begins to lay aside part
of his or her earnings, be
cause from that moment the per
son ceases to bo slavish de
pended, and become self-reliant.
If you have not begun to save,
get started .?Merchants Journal.

She Tells Your Name and
Also the One you Will
Marry.
Who rends your life from t lie
crtulle to the grave, and is known
from sea to sea as one of i lie hesl
palmists in the world. During
lite Omaha Exposition she read
the h ind of President McKiuiey
and predicted that he would die
by the hand of an assassin,
which prediction caiue true. She
it was, who, while filling an en
gagement in Pittsburg, traced on
the map the famous Heaumont,
Texas, oil fields, and located
what has since proven to he the
greatest oil lields in existence.
Palmist Located Watch. |
The following special from Con J
covil I o the Charlotie Observer
I tells ils own storv:
?'Seven mouths ago Mr. James
C. Gibson lost u watch, and he
believed that the tresured jew
el had been stolen until yester
day the matter was solved.
Mrs. Leonard Cowen, it daugh
ter of Mrs. Gibson, concluded to
consult Madam Eldon, a scicut
ilic palmist , who is here this week
with a carnival company. After
readings the lines in the young
lady's hand the Knowing oue de
scribed tho watch and then told
her I hat. the watch had not been
stolen, but misplaced. The de
scription tallied with an iir
jncdiato search and tho watch
was found just where it had been
placed by <he hands of some
member of Mrs. Gibson's family.
Ti.is happened yesterday, and
last night all the people of the
city who had lo=>t something or
waniid lo tind something con
sulted M idatn Kldon. In oilier
words, she did a great business
last., night, especially with the
ladies.' *
Don't Mistake the Name,
ELDON.
Strangely fasinnting nre Hie
words that come from I lie culti
vated lipsof this most interesting
woman whose journey of life hits
already taken her through ail
the renowned psychic schools of
Egypt, India and Europe. It
seems indeed as if her knowledge
must come from that mys
terious world of which we all
would know, yet longing, cannot
know. She looks as far away hi
the dim mysterious future ? the
great beyond ? across the dark
chasm which seperates the hu
man body from the tittini; soul ?
and that which is to he told. The
seperated are brought together,
foe are made friends, lost prop
city, Is recovered, the mist is
brushed away from business ven
lures, the hand is so guided that
failures are aver'.ed, the earth's
face is - explored, its treasures
laid bare to perceptive mind, and
while she gives dates, facts and
figures, her visitor sits dumb
founded at the revelation sin*
makes to him. She is surely a
women of the passing time.
She stands alone in her mug
n ? ?r iicie i? t power of reading t lie
future of human kind. Educated
in occult mysteries and Hindoo
phihxphy hi Egypt and Iuditi.
I do hereby sole inly agree and
guarantee to make no charge if 1
fail to lull you whetheryour hus
band, wife, or sweetheart is true
or faUe; lull how to win the love
of the one you most desire, ovi n
though miles away; how to suc
ceed in business, speculation law
suits, how to marry tho one of
your choice.
A true clairvoyant is horn ? not
made. Madaiu Eldoti is not a
clairvoyant from choice, but be
cause fate has so decreed it. Htr
ancestors were powerful me
diuuis and have for a^es handed
down their wondt rful power of
gift from general io.i to genera
lion. So she has received the
rich inheritance together with
combined knowledge and price
h'ss experience of generations.
No mutter what your present
trouble may be or your past ex
perieuce has been you will save
lime and avoid disappointment
by at once consulting her.

FuikI ICiMiiiiruil by Cows.
The cow requires not only]
materials fur maintenance, but
must also luivo protein, fill, mid
carbohydrates to make milk I
from. The milk contains wuiir,
fiit, protein (casein, or curd),
sugar and ash, and those are all
made from the constituents of
of the food. If insufficient pro
tein fat and carbohydrates are j
contained in the food given her,
she cow supplies the deficiency
for a time by drawing mi her
own body, and gradually be
gins to shrink in quantity mid
quality of inilk, or both. The
stingy feeder cheats himself as
well as the cow. She may sutler
from hunger, although her belly
is full of swale hay, but she also
becomes poor and dot's not. yield '
the milk Mild butter she should. !
Her milk glands are a wonderful
machine, but they cannot make
milk casein (curd) out of t lie con* I
stituentsin coarse, unuppeiizing, j
indigestible swale hay or saw
dust any more than the farmer
himself can make butler from
skim milk. Sho must not only
have a generous supply of good
food, but it must contain snlli*
ciont amounts of the nutrients
needed for making ini'.k. Cot
ton seod meal is the greatest
protein food obtainable in the
south. Until this fact is under
stood and appreciated, sueees*

the question.

its truthfulness have been fur
