IF YOU ONL
Editors I’rickett'^fc Caiu, oi
the Commercial Adduce, St.
Matthews, must be in trouble,
if one is to judge from the fol
lowing, which appeared in last
week’s issue of that paper.
If some day the newspaper
man should print the contents
of his waste basket there would
probably be a riot. There would
certainly be trouble in many
homes, arrests in some direc
tions, shot guns in others, trou
ble all around. But the patron
never sees the w'aste basket.
He only glances at the beauti
ful printed pages, complains if
one letter in fifty is upside-
do^n, growls his disappoint
ing .A if one nome in five hun
dred happens to go wrong, kicks
because his commuuicatiou
signed “Tax Payer,” has been
condensed into respectable Eng
lish, frowns because the editor
didn’t take his advice about
publicly warning his neighbor
against throwing more melon
in the alley, and is generally
disgruntled, not so much at
what he fails to find, but what
he finds. He. know his share
of the waste basket, but if he
could have one look at the con
tributions made to that recep
tacle by his neighbors and
friends, he would thank God
for the existance of a man with
sufficient intelligence and cour
age not to print all he knows,
and to temper even that which
he does print.
Never mind, brethern. The
general reading public will
never know the trials and ad
versaries which cross the path
of the country editor. As the
Hon. Ben Tillman would say
‘ • we are damned if we don’t and
we are damned if we do,” so it
makes little difference what
course we pursue. The only
thing is to have an eye single
to the good of the community
and for the best interest of all.
ing to the friends of education
in Cherokee county. It showed
j that we were making rapid
i strides in the proper direction.
If there is any 7 one thing which
our people should support with
a free will it is our educational
interests. Mr. Wa’ker deserves
a great deal for what he lias ac
complished and is to be congrat
ulated, and his plans for the fu
ture should be encouraged.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Miss Charlotte and Miss Co
lumbia are making wry faces at
each other because the latter
lady does not want the former
to get into her baseball society.
* • •
The ways of the typesetting
machine are past finding out.
Every once and a while the
thing bucks and its impossible
to get it to work. Ours bucked
yesterday—hence the ragged ap
pearance of this sheet. We
expect to get in shape again to
day.

In attempting to justify the
sale of whiskey the Columbia
Record cites that in the dry(?)
town of Durham, N. C., there
are thirty-five internal revenue
licenses. We remember The
Record once said there were
three internal licenses in this
town, but it was mistaken. We
are going to assume that The
Record is correct this rime, and
will add that this indicates to
us that there are thirty-five
scoundrels in Durham who have
no respect for the local law.
The Record, among other
things, says:
And yet, lots of good people
of Durham hug themselves in
the delusion that they have
helped Durham by voting the
town dry. Possibly they have,
but they are breeding an awful
lot of lying hypocrites there.
Has The Record ever stopped
to think what an awful lot of
lying hypocrits the tw r enty-two
saloons which formally existed
in Durham were breeding? Our
observation has been that the
open barroom and the dispen
sary were greater breeders of
corruption than the blind tigers
because the former were sanc
tioned by law and as a conse
quence their patrons are more
numerous than are the patrons
of blind tigers. Still, that does
not justify the existence of the
tiger. The officers of the law
should corner the tiger or turn
their jobs over to somebody who
can.
