t ' H ■ .WH 1 *■ t* Ky :4 TTllK l-rKl>OH:i<. PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. BY Ed. H. DkCamp. ••KEKL'SED." Brother Mecham. of the Chester field Advertiser, scores a'dead beat subscriber in the following style: “We sent a statement to one of our subscribers in a nearby State recent ly. The man took the letter from the postoffice and noticing that it was tented himself with the idea that the are a woefully ignorant set and any thing that will advance our educa tional interests should be eagerly takenr advantage of. * * * Senator Tillman ‘•’was hissed in Madison, Indiana, the other night because of his utterances on the race question. Our pitchfork senator has missed his calling. He should have been an actor and done the heavy »n the drama, then he could have con- from the Advertiser, and realizing in his dirty old heart that he owed three years’ subscription which he didn’t intend paying, he marked across the face of the envelope “Refused” and placed it back in the postofflee and it was returned to us. If hell is half as decent a place as it ought to be, when that sneak thief arrives there the devil will promptly label him “Refused” and fumigate his premises when he takes his departure.” If Brother Mecham and other edi- ao( j a g 00 d ’un. tors would display a larger quantity of backbone and demand the cash in advance for their papers they would not have occasion to refer in such drastic terms to this undesirable class of patrons. A good man does not mind paying in advance for his paper, while the bad ones wMl seldom pay at all, and when they do it generally costs as much to collect what they owe as it is worth. There is too much work and worry about a newspaper to sell it on credit. The margin is too short, and the wonder to us is that so many of them survive as long as they do when doing business in such an unbusinesslike manner. FKEE ADVERTISING. Anent our article concerning the matter of the State Fair Association having its premium list printed in Ohio, Brother Parks, of the Orange burg Patriot, deposeth and truly saitb: The Ledger’s point is certainly well taken. Every weekly paper in the State will receive in due time, if not already received, various items for publication concerning this very premium list and other items which are meant to boost the Fair. It seems that the weekly papers have come to be the common prey of almost all kinds of societies and or ders and fraternities and charities who come asking free advertising week after week, and who, if they have any work for which they expect to pay, sen t it off to some other place or print shop. We do not believe that editors object to helping out any worthy cause, person or society by free notices, for many such notices while purely advertisements have a news value besides. But we submit that when the nesvspapers have done the free puffing and blowing and ad vertising, they should be remembered by those who give out work for which payment is to be made. The State Fair is not in a class to itself. Some colleges, high schools and church societies have been doing the same, even where they could have patronized home folks for only a trifle more. THIS HAS THE RIGHT KING. Mr. William Toney has sold the Johnson News to Mr. A Fuller Per kins. Mr. Toney will remain with The News as soliciting agent. He made a capital good paper out of The News, and we expect much of the new editor, as the following senti ment expressed in his salutatory is a commendable one: “I have not purchased The News to fight any other paper already in the county, and I will attend to my own business and work for Johnston and the general good of Edgefield county. “I am not going to beg for patron age, but am going to merit it, and run the paper on its own merit and not upon the demerits of some other paper. “A newspaper is not a charitable institution, although some editors beg and plead as though a paper was run like an orphanage—by voluntary contributions. A paper is just as much of a business as is a mercantile business. It is true, a paper has more of an opportunity to aid in the upbuilding of a town than has a mercantile or any other business, but if a person owes a dollar for a paper it is just as honest a debt as if he were due a grocer for provisions.” NOTES AND COMMENTS. Dill lint'll. Readers:—Let us talk a little about t. ill Brash, for he is a remark able man, and has possessions near me and you. We are not going to backbite Billy—the Good Book for bids that; but we are going to write him an open letter as many times as there are copies of The Ledger pub lished. And Billy will be sure to get the letter, for he calls for his msll at! the majority of the offices to which The Ledger is sent. Bill’s great besetting sin is covet ousness. He measures himself with a tapestring, and figures It out big I and little you. Your welfare and Calvert has been re- interest are always secondary with ; of Spartanburg Hihy—If he sees a nickel he can get by destroying a dollar for you, you can look out, for down goes Billy’s big foot on your dollar to get the nickel. Bill wants all the land that joins his. Bill does not have a proper re gard for the rights of others, but everyone must cater to bis greed. Bill has but little regard for the Sabbath, but spends the day in visit- and prejudice are twin j D g talking business, hiring hands or | making contracts. It affords him great pleasure to employ his neigh bors’ hands, and he will make great promises to allure the hands of others, and will bind them up in > “writings” to do his bidding. Bill’s conceit is perfectly disgust ing. What he does not know is not i worth knowing—what he has is better than the possessions of any one else. Bill is a great boaster—none can com-1 pare with him in the management of: business, or equal him in turning sharp bargains. Bill says no flower in any garden equals a cotton blossom, and no music equals that made by the wooly- headed sons of Ham as they tend his broad acres of cotton. Bill says he has thirty tents and forty croppers and they all ride upon three score and ten of his ass colts. L. WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [All Oommunkmtton* to tills column Hhoutd In- addrcMpd to l*. O.

W. Ross, of Gaffney, has made .ji7o this season from an acre of beans and has a second crop coming on from which he expedts to make $25 more.

This feat is more remarkable when it is remembered that Mr. Ross is an afflicted man, being partly paralyzed. If we are going to do anything about this county fair matter it is time some practical steps were being taken. We would suggest that a convention be held in the court house one week from tomorrow to discuss the matter.
