Nt: WHIMPER H1PP0KT-WHVI Just huw milch support should bc given by the public to a newspaper, ls a question which ls now claiming thc attention of a number of towns and cities in the country. Several newspapers have been forced to reduce the size of I heir sheets and ure trying to retrench au as to make receipts and expenditures come so close together UH to get on speuklng terms aga in. The Lancaster News has been forced to cut to a four page size, and retrench in every way possible. The News is one of the best and cleanest newspapers published in the State, nnd atty curtailment of the service given ls a distinct lush to the community. Lancaster will lose us much by allowing such a thing to happen as will The News. Suppose, for Instance, that the business people of Greenville ehould not support the Greenville News, and lt was forced to suspend or to reduce the frequency of its Issue, would it not be a bigger loss to Greenville UH n city, and to Hu business in terests of the city, than to the owners of The Newa? Greenville is known far and near on account of The News, and the remark has been made often that Greenville should be proud of Its morning newspaper. Thin ls true, and It speaks well for the city that so splendid a newspuper ls so liberally supported by the business men of Greenville. What is true of Greenville is equally true of Green wood, and wo have seldom seen a city whose busi ness men are so liberal as those in Greenwood In thc matter of advertising. So lt ts with all the cities-Spartanburg, Columbia. Charleston and An derson. For Instance, whut would be thought of Anderson If The Intelligencer were not to receive enough support from the people of Anderson and the coun ty to continue to make its daily visits, spreading broudcast and wholesale the superiority of The Electric City? Every newspaper ls or should be proud of Its city. The converse is equally true, every city should be proud of its newspaper. Speaking of The Lancaster News, The Rock Hill Herald says: 'The Lancaster News ls retrenching, having reduced to four pages in size. That looks bad for Colonel Leroy Springs' town. When ever the business men of a town or city force a newspaper to reduce its size, il is in controvertible evidence of the fact that there is something wrong with the place where that newspaper ls published. If business is so bad in Lancaster that all the business men have been forced to quit advertising, there Is certainly something radically wrong over there. If the business men of the place .simply have an attack of cold feet brought on by the "war In Yurrup." they ought to come over to Rock HJ11 In a body and see u town that has recovered from Its war scare. CAN PUSH COTTON OFF THE HOARDS. "The only crop which has been tried In South Carolina that can pusb cotton off the boards ls aKaira," ts the way Agriculturist A. G. Smith puta lt. He went on the say that tina is true in York County where the farmers think so much of grow ing alfalfa that they have an expert employed for his full timo teaching the art of growing alfalfa. "It is not uncommon for a farmer to make $60 per acre net on his alfalfa, and at a small coat aa com pared with' cotton," continued Mr. Smith. if auch good rc8uits are being achieved in York County, why cannot the same thing be done In An derson County? There are a number of farmers In this county who are growing alfalfa, and The In telligencer would be glad to publish tho exper iences these have had with the crop. Can Ander son County not grow as good alfalfa hay as any county. In the State, and lt is needed. We haye re cently noted several car loads of western hay being unloaded in this city. Until this kind of agricul tural suicido is stopped, there will be cries of hard times in Anderson County and in the Piedmont sec tion. Let ns raise ali we need for food for man and beast In this county, and a good start can be made by growing enough alfalfa hay to take the place of the western bay shipped Into this county. CAPT. CHAS. PETTY. The death at an early hour this morning of Capt. Charles Petty, Confederate veteran, newspaper man and beloved fellow citizen casts a gloom over the city ot Spartanburg where he had spent bia life. While he had been In falling health the past few weeks lt was not generally known that his ill ness was believed to be of a critical nature and the announcement of his death comes therefore aa a very great shock. Captain Petty waa the dean of South Carolina Journalism. He had been connected with local newspapers for a period of many years. Up until aome ten days ago he contributed regularly to the columns of The Journal. He waa especially In terested in the Sunday school lessons which he prepared for this paper, abd whenever be was Bick would prepare thia feature even though he was un able to do any other work. Capt. Petty has always taken a keen interest in >ubllc affairs and has always stoutly defended the principles of right government. He bad the cour age of his convictions, ever daring to speak out in the interest of right. The Journal mourne the death ot Capt. Petty in common with thousands ot people ot Spartanburg nhd South Carolinians. We shall cherish his mem ory.-Spartanburg Journal.. SHOULD LEAVE THEM AT HOME.

It is assumed by Home that merely beeuuftc the llurnucll County dispensary board IH chargea-with certain offenses, therefore the governor will sure ly remove them from office. We do not believe that Governor Manning will prejudge any ease, lie must have the truth before he netti. * lt is not merely ?t matter of getting these in dividuals out of office. The charges against them affect their moral reputation and standing. These churges are not to be handled lightly, not to be permitted to rest without proof, and the governor of the State should not place upon the name of any citizen the stigma of degenerate-unless proof be there. On the other hand, should the (-burges be proved, the persons found recalcitrant should Indeed be "brought to law." as one newspaper has expressed lt. A d'spensary position is as much of a public office as any at the court house, and should not be filled without due regard to law enforcement, and partic ularly law observances.-The Columbia Rec ord. WIE AB EDISON OBI BUSINESS. We wish that the business men of the country ..oul?l take a lesson in optimism from the wizard Edison. A few weeks ugo his big factory was burn ed and he at once set about rebuilding it, although at. his age, 68 years, he would have been excusable if he had sahl "Well. I am getting too old now to bother with these things, und I am not going to attempt to rebuild." Hut this is not Edison's way. He say.s he still has seventeen years of usefulness, and that he will accomplish much In this time. So be is rebuilding his factory, and spreading op timism. He remarks upon the business depression, and the fanaticism of business men who are afraid of their shadows these days are worth.studying and analyzing. . As applied to local conditions, we wonder if there are any of the kind of men Edison describes in An- : dcrson-the Electric City? Are there not too < many of us who sit down and weep because "things < are not going right." when we should be hustling ' to make them go right? Is there any real cause for all this hard times talk we are so fond of In dulging these days? Let the business community brace up and get busy DOING things. We must do this or suffer the consequences. But, let us see what Edison says: "We've had some things on hand of late. They were things I wanted to move rapidly, and I went to a lot of men I've done business ! with for years. But no, they^ wouldn't do business. You never naw such a hopeless lot of men. They had no decision, no initiative. They couldn't make up their minds to do anything, or let anybody else do anything. Nobody had any nerve lett. And that's too bad. These men ought to be building pew factories and branch railroads and stirring things up generally. ;'-e '. . * "It's in the business slr of tiri? entire coun try, this obsession. I told my wife the other day that If she noticed anything unusual about me sbo should let me.know at once. " I don't want to get into this mood." That's the worst thing about business de pression. It's mostly "psychological." there's no getting around that. Every business man who yields to despondency drags others lows with Mm. The bines are infections.
