THE SI7.K OF NEWSPAPERS. On the first day of this year a man from England who had made a world wide success in journalism, was given $20,000 to edit a prominent New York paper for one day. As it came from his hand it is considered as setting the pace for journalism In the twentieth century. The most observable characteristic of this model paper was its great reduc tion in size. It was varied, compact, and pointed, giving the news from all quarters, without any great flourish of headlines, and say ing what it had to say in the fewest possible words. All this is sensible, and we believe is going to be the characteristic of the acceptable newspaper of the future. Men haven’t time in this fast age to look through sixteen pages of foolishness to get one column of sense—to winnow a wagon load of chaff to find a few pecks of wheat. They will demand more and more that the editor of a newspaper say what he has to say in a pointed com mon sense way and stop, and that he give them the most important news in clear and compact form. Newspapers are but reflections of the age in which they flourish, and the age through which we are pass ing - 'S one of shams, of display, and of sensations. Men and enterprises are judged not by their real merits, but by the outward display they make in the public view, and news papers are judged by the mejority of readers pretty much in the same way. The glaring sensational head lines over a few tame and measly paragraphs; the extravagant cuts, claiming to represent men and things in themselves of no particular interest or importance; the enormous capitals that usher in words and sen tences whose only office is fo fill space and attract the eye; the mul tiplicity of pages, the length and number of columns, the wonderful extent of paper—these are some of the fads that make the modern newspaper go, and like other fads not founded on reason and common sense, they must pass away. If we were on an uninhabited is land like Robinson Crusoe, with no companions but cats and goats, and no immediate prospect of communi cating with human beings, and should happen to find while rum maging "tnong the boxes rescued from the lost ship, a copy of the Sunday edition of the Atlanta Con stitution or the New York World, we might possibly read-it through, not all at once but in the course of a month or two; but we can imagine of no other condition that would tempt us to undertake the task. OUR TRIPLETS. Liquor, education, and crime have flourished in our State during the past year beyond all precedent. The dispensary has spread itself like the green bay tree and grown like a cedar in Lebanon. At the close of busi ness for eleven months, it has to its credit in round numbers a half mil lion of dollars, clear profit! This does not include the superb holiday business, for which our State with keen fore-sight had laid in stuck to the amount of $1*00 000. The net profits have been 20 per cent, above all expenses—salaries, rents, plants, rebates, breakage, leakage, and steal age. The business nearly doubled itself in one year, and the dispensary is yet in its swaddling clothes. To what heights of glory—not to say depths of infamy—it may attain in this grandly evolving century, can only be dimly prognosticated by Ibis phenomenal development of its in fancy. Education is keeping abreast with the flowing tide of liquor and money. The free schools are aglow with life and progress, the free colleges are crowded with students and more are weeping on the thresholds and pray ing fur admission. Enlightenment is the watchword; money is the mo tive power. Another fifty thousand for Winthrop! Another sixty-five thousand for Clemson and another fifty thousand for the South Caro lina College and the Citadel Acad emy! Then “call the bluff,” gentle men of the legislature for another hundred thousand for the free schools! Pile it on and pile it up, gentlemen. Who cures for a dollar or two, when the liquor flows and en lightenment is the prize to be won? Thu penitentiary too, that “black flower of civiliza'.ion,” is eweliing and expanding in the moral atmosphere saturated and invigorated with “mountain dew.” The penitentiary has cleared thirty-eight thousand dollars, and has three hundred bales of cotton on hand waiting for a favor able market. Well done thou good and faithful servant. Stand back, ye farnieis, and give your State room to erpand ! And O ye croakers, ye chronic growlers, ye blind guides, ye con firmed hypochondriacs! who says that old John Brown’s spirit is not marching on? Get out of the way and see the glittering wheels of progress roll! Stand aside and watch the glorious procession pass. SPARTANBURG ANU GREENVILLE. At last the Spartanburg Herald has been forced by cold figures repre senting hot facts to admit that Green ville leads Spartanburg in temper ance. During the past year the two dispensaries in Greenville have made sales amounting to $68,000, and the two in Spartanburg have climbed up to —a balance against Spar tanburg sobriety of $15,000. In the face of these figures, how ever, the Herald has the audacity to claim that Spartanburg drinks better, and consequently, higher-priced li quor than Greenville does, and that furthermore, being delightfully lo cated farther away from Glassy mountain, Spartanburg has fewer ilind tigers than Greenville. These )alliating circumstances will do much toward ssoothingjSpartanburg's wounded pride and withering the eaves of Greenville's laurels. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The lovers of fine music have the onportunity of a decade before them at Limestone College next Thursday evening, when Leonora Jackson, the world-famed violinist, will perform in the college auditorium. The vio lin is the king of instruments, and Miss Jackson is the queen of per formers. The public may expect an entertainment of rare artistic bril liancy. It is tiresome to see in almost every newspaper you pick up the announcement that it has made special arrangements with Mr. W. J. Bryan to club with The Commoner. The truth is that the offer to club was sent to almost every paper in the United States and the same terms were accorded each paper. The Ledger never clubs. Its pur pose is to stand or fall strictly on its own merits, and it lays hold of no man’s coat tail—not even Mr. Bryan’s. There is nothing in this clubbing business for the local paper. It is simply working for the other fellow for nothing and we prefer to expend our surplus energy as well as any surplus cash that may come our way, on our own paper. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The tragedy at Abbeville in which three men lost their lives was one of the most deplorable that has been enacted in this State for years. A young officer of high character and splendid courage, and a useful, inof fensive stranger were both shot to death by a native desperado inflamed with dispensary whisky before he was made to suffer the penalty of his brutal rashness. That man had killed his .man before and had been tried and acquitted by a sympathiz ing jury, and now two useful and promising lives are the fearful price paid for a jury’s sympathy and the tricks of attorneys. We agree with the Spartanburg Journal that such a man ought not to be allowed to run at large. If his former crimes were not worthy of death, he ought at least to have been put where he would have bad little opportunity to slake his thirst for blood. If a “man eater” tiger should appear among our people, everybody would feel bound to take a hand in effecting his destruction or capture; yet there are men scarcely less dangerous of whom whole communities stand in awe while the law furnishes little or no protection. Mr. Tlionmon «t Home. (.Union Times.] Mr. I. G. Thomson, of Kennett, Mo., came to bis old homo, Union, to spend the Christmas holidays. We were very glad to see Mr. Thomson once more.

The many friends aud admirers of Mr. Samuel B. Lumpkin were pained to learn of his death which occurred Wednesday morning last at his home in Blacksburg. Mr. Lumpkin had been in had health for about fifteen months, hut for some time tho cause could not be discovered. A few months ago, however, it was found that he had cancer of the stomacu and he im mediately began to be treated for the name. The physicians in Blacksburg did all for him that was possible to be done, but he continued to sink rapidly and he was then taken to Charlotte, N. C , where he was treated by skilled hospital physicians. But ail efforts to check the disease were futile, ana tho end came Wed nesday. Mr. Lumpkin was a prominent man in railroad circles and had been connected with the present South Carolina tfc Georgia Extension rail road from the time of its organiza tion, and at his death he was general passenger agent of the road. He was a man in the prime of life, ro bust in figure and enjoyed the best of health up to the time the illness began which resulted in his death. Wc are told that his normal weight was two hundred and sixty pounds, hut at the time of his death he only weighed about seventy-five pounds, which shows what terribio ravages the disease had made and what the man must have suffered. The remains were taken to Fairfield for burial and placed by the side of his wife who was taken from him a few veers ago. Mr. Lumpkin was a useful man and his position will be hard to fill. DIED OF HIS WOUND. .foe llaiubrlKht Accidentally Shot ami Death Knitiieil. The Cleveland Star, of Shelby, N. C., chronicles the recent death of Mr. Joseph Hambright, who lived near Grover, N. C., which occurred under tragic circumstances. It seeeins that the young man had been hunting with a double barreled shot gun, and coming to a rock wall he sat down, and letting the gun down on the rock, caused it to sud denly discharge, the full load taking effect in his thigh and side, tearing him up very badly. He lived until last Saturday, when he died and was buried on Sutiday. His suffering was intense from Tuesday until Satur day, when death came to his relief. Mr. Hambright was a soldier in the United States army during the Spanish American war, and was in the battle of Santiago, and a number of other battles. He leaves a num ber of friends and relatives to mourn his death. It is said that the young man was to have been married soon. The family has our heartfelt sym pathy. Heath In .forcHville. Mr. William Fowler, a prominent citizen of Jonesville, died at bis home at that place last week of consump tion. A short time before one of his children died and a few hours after the family and friends returned from the burying Mr. Fowler passed away in the same room from which his dead child had been carried. Truly, misfortunes never comes singly. Mr. Fowler was a good man and a good citizen and he will be missed in bis community. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the town and entire neighborhood in which they live. A Christina* Tre«. On Friday after Christmas Mrs. R Ann Waters delighted her numerous children and grand children with a Christmas tree at her home.

It is not often that this city has the opportunity to hear such an ag gregation of talent as the trio of art ist who will give a concert here next Thursday evening at the College auditorium with Leonora Jackson, the famous violin virtuoso, as the bright particular star. She ranks among the world's leading violinists today, and the fact that she is an American should also assure her a hearty welcome Her playing will afford a treat which none should miss. The soprano, Josephine Elburna, a pretege of the famous opera singer, Mine. Lili Lehmann, has won her laurels abroad, and this autumn, in forty concerts with Miss Jackson, is everywhere a great favorite. Her voice is said to bo of rare range, power and sweetness. Seiden Pratt, tho third member of this brilliant trio, appeared in eighty concerts list winter with Mme. Emma Nevada, and this autumn, like Miss Eiburna, shared the honors of forty engage ments with Miss Jackson. An honor- graduate of tho Royal School of Music at Berlin, he ranks easily among the foremost American pian ists, aud us an accompanist has no superior.

Persons who suffer from indigestion cannot expect to live long, because they cannot eat the food required to nourish the body and the products of the undigested foods they do eat poison tho blood.
