l • Ci a. '• 1 4 ■■ Tv' w* THE LEDGER. Tuesday and Friday, c d. H. DeCamp, Editor and Publisher, A. W. Griffith, Local Editor. SHOP TALK. Th^ Stark Advertising Agency of New York city, had this to say in a letter to the Index last week: “We consider your paper among the lead ers of your State, and we believe yours is the best medium in your county.” This is a high tribute to The In dex and its growing circulation: and doufcly appreciated coming from the source it does. Advertising agencies make it a business to investigate cir culation, relative standing, and the business-getting qualities of a news paper.—Greenwood Index. We are really surprised that the generally level-headed editor of The Index would notice such a thing as the above. Not long ago The George town Outlook took occasion to com ment in like manner about that same circular letter sent to nearly every newspaper in South Carolina, and these papers would leave the impres sion that it was a direct special let ter. The Ledger got one. It is an attempt to flatter the newspapers that receive this circular letter in order they may be induced to buy space in the American Advertiser, a publication gotten out by the Stark Advertising Agency. It is too much like conceit to hug to our breast the flattering unction that we are the only pebble on the beach: Perhaps Starke is right in the selections he makes as to the leading paper of the section, but it’s no credit to those papers se lected to boast over their less fortu nate competitors. In this connection we might add that this agency some weeks ago sent out a proposition to newspaper men that was amusing in this office. We notice that some of the brethren took the bait, hook and all; others got mad, and sti.l others took nn the matter with them and received their rate. The Ledger was in the latter class and the busi ness will commence with our next is sue. But what we started out to say is that it appears to us very absurd to be patting one’s self on the back and boasting of circulation, etc., and then forever be ding donging at sub scribers to pay up. If we were a mind to do so we could run on the credit system and print at least 1,000 more papers than we do. We would like to see our brethren of the press adopt more business-like methods.

It’s a pity these two fair dates should conflict, but we hope as many of our people as can possibly do so will attend. It will do' them good to get out a little and it may he that some day the greatest county In the South—Cherokee—will take a notion to have a fair of her own. Some years ago James W. Osborne, a North Carolina product, went to New York to practice law. lie join ed the most powerful local political organization on earth, became assis tant district attorney, and, after mak ing a name for himself, has been nom inated for district attorney, to which f office he will doubtless he elected. All of which makes us feel kindly toward Tamany Hall, because it makes no difference from whence a man hails, just so that he has the stuff in him that organization will honor him. Here is success to Tamany jlall and the ex-drug clerk of Charlotte. • * * A paper published at Columbia call ed the Vldette, whatever that moans, i accuses the State Publishing Co., of! looting the treasury of South Caro- 1 lina by excessive charges on printing done for the commonwealth. The State Co. show that the printing has cost less than it formerly did. This should be entirely satisfactory to any sentinel. We have heard many un pleasant epithets hurled at The Statoj and the owners, but this is the first time we have ever heard that they- were a set of thieves. My, my, to what depths some people will descend to vent their spleen! Those folks— the Videttes—need to he educated. They are as ignorant as a brass mon key. • • • The Charlotte papers are coming out of the kinks occasioned by a strike of the printers in that town several weeks ago. We cannot but believe that iho typographical union was wrong in this Instance, and we wish its officers could have seen fit to act otherwise. As matters are It’s hard lines to make both ends meet and one tiling is as certain as any thing can he. and that is that printers must charge more for their product or the last one of us will have our places of business closed by the sher iff. We have no fight with the print ers, because we have been there our self. and we know the wages the average printer gets will never al low him to live in brown-stone man sions or dine at Delmonico’s, but It does'appear to us that those In Char lotte were receiving remunerative wages.
