LAURENS, S. C, May 3, 1905.
Tree Delivery iur Laurcns.
Do we want it? The Advertiser
believes all do, and we can get it by
work. Our Postmaster is doing all lie
can to improve our mail facilities but
he needs the help and co-operation of
every citizen in the community. Free
delivery is given only to those offices
whose cash receipts reach an amount
decided on by the Department. While
the receipts at this office have shown a
steady gain for the past three years we
can increase the rate of progress by
concerted action. An increase of one
thousand dollars per annum would raise
this office to a grade above its present
class and entitle us to a better build
ing, more room and other' improve
ments, but an increase of three thou
sand dollars would give us free city de
livery and ultimately a federal building,
costing not less than fifty thousand
dollars. Every man in town can help
towards this end. How? By doing any
and everything that will swell receipts.
Let every corporation, merchant, law
yer, doctor, preacher and individual
use the government stamped envel
opes. We are in the printing business
and printing envelopes is a part of that
business and furthermore we do not be
lieve that the Government should enter
into competition with its citizens in
any line of business, but what wj think
or say is not going to make it discon
tinue the printing business and we are
willing to subordinate personal gain to
further a movement meaning so much
to the public welfare. We can still
print letter and note heads for you. As
a matter of fact, the government sells
printed envelopes of note, letter or le
gal size, cheaper than any stationer can
sell the same quality for imprinted. For
$10.60 you can get 500 of the usual
size with return request printed and your
name. The stamps on these represent
$10.00 of the amount that you have to
spend anyway. Then the convenience
of always having a stamp at hand saves
time and worry. You have to buy
stamps. This plan only means buying
a few more at a time?that's all. If a
stamped envelope is misdirected, re
opened, or spoiled, the government re
deems the stamp, so you lose nothing.
Another way to swell receipts is for
our clothiers and shoe dealers, druggists
and grocers and all others who at any
firv>~ --~tst i-....vl Unjr ?\JVllo
from manufacturers involving the send
ing out of printed matter bearing their
cards, to have the mailing done here and
not from the home office. Suppose
they offer to circularize your trade for
you. Lot them send you 500 or 1,000
pieces of advertising matter, allow $5.
or $10. for postage, if at one cent each.
You address the booklets and mail them
out from here. But some one says: "I
don't want that bother." It is nothing
in addition to what you are already do
ing- You have to make up and furnish
the manufacturer a mailing list. The
same work would address the envel
opes. If we have a merchant in town
who would retard the wheels of pro
gress and the betterment of an impor
tant public service, because he is averse
to attaching the .stamps THE adver
tiser offers here and now to do this
work for him free of charge and fur
nish a certificate from the postmaster
that so many pieces of matter have
been mailed. There is no use to hope
for free delivery as the result of politi
cal favor or congressional influence. It
does not come any more until your of
fice does the prescribed amount of
annual business. Then we will get it
without influence or favor.
Let's have it.

About Newspaper Men!
From the esteemed Greenville News
this is taken:
"A good many newspaper men who
Work eight een ' hours a day without a
complaint can readily concur in the opin
ion handed down by Justice Beckham."
Wc have yet to See the newspaper
man who works 18 hours the day, ex
cepting the cases hereinafter men
tioned. We have observed newspaper
men at their work in many cities and
towns and have been associated with
them. We have heard numbers in an
off-hand way tell of their strenuous
and never ending exertions but we
know of none who can coolly count more
than eight or ten hours of actual work.
We remember the case of one young
man in this State who for a year or
two worked 14 or 16 hours the day for
six days in the week and part of the
time for seven days in the week. Nev
ertheless that boy found time to spend
eight or ten hours on the railway train.
He had a sweetheart in a distant town
and would travel 300 miles in order to
spend three hours in her company. By
the way, she was worth it. The boy's
strenuous day ended and he has had
plenty of rest in recent years. During
his whole newspaper life he probably
averaged nine hours the day of gen
uine work but he was the hardest work
ing man for a part of the time that we
have known.
All of us know what it is to toil 10
hours In 21 once in a long time. It is
our belief that no man can "stand up"
to more than eight hours each day of
earnest intellectual labor, with the mind
concentrated on the task, more than
six days in the week. True, a newspa
per man, under the lash of circum
stances, may strive severely for a time
but in most cases ho obtains a rest af
terwards either a rest in a hospital or
a vacation.
It is a confirmed habit of newspaper
men to talk about their terrific toil. A
reporter loses two nights' j.leop hand
ling a warm convention and imagines
that ho is carrying the earth on his
shoulders. Then he "puts in" six hours
u day talking about it for six weeks,
The hard feature of newspaper work
is the confinement. One can't get
away from it. The newspaper is a liv
ing thing. It must not stop breathing.
The men in the office and on tho street
are the lungs. The lungs cannot get
out of the chest.
Good newspaper men are ill paid. The
capable newspaper man is usually an
editor or the head of a department in a
daily office. In a weekly newspaper,
he is a business man and mechanic as
well.
Tho capable and trained newspaper
man gets a fair salary for his work?as
much per hour as salaried men get in
most other trades. But he gets nothing
for the responsibility he carries. The
outsider has no dream of the anxieties,
the disappointments and tho bitter
heart-burnings over mistakes and blun
ders that the newspaper man exper
iences. The man who puts 2,000 words
a day into cold print, or passes upon
the correctness and propriety of ten
thousand words a day that others write,
and has the record to stare him in the
face next morning and for all time must
make blunders. Moreover, his blunders
are easy to discover. He generally dis
covers them himself?when it is too
late?but the outsiders are glib to em
phasize and point them out. The book
keeper can make but one kind of mis
take. His work may be bard but if he
balances his books, responsibility
ceases. The newspaper man, with all
the manifold problems of life and so
ciety before him to be recorded cor
rectly, cannot know when his books are
balanced. Good newspaper men are
not numerous and the majority of men
in the business receive as high wages
as they would receive if they were in
other employment.
j What we have said is not directed at
the Greenville News. Judging from
the newspaper printed in that office the
members of its statr work 19 hours each
day. It is an exceptional newspaper.
*
?1 Told You So."
Elsewhere it will be seen in this paper
that a young lady in attempting to
board a train at the station in this city
fell and was injured. We are free to
confess that we are disposed to blame
the Railroad for the accident. Young
ladies are not addicted to playing
pranks with railway trains ami when
one goes to thestation in this city during
the incoming or the outgoing of the
trains there can be no wonder that a
stranger and particularly a young lady
should become confused and subject
herself to injury.
We are very glad that it was no
worse and if there is not an improve
ment made in the conditions it will be a
great deal worse some day and then we
will all say "I told you so."

The opportunity to obtain a first class
Church school will come before the peo
ple of Laurens. This school in time
will be a great college for girls. It will
have the support of a strong Church
constituency.
A (iood Suggestion.
Mr. C. B. Wainwright of Lemon city
Fla..has written the manufacturers that
much better results are obtained from
the use of Chamberlains Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in cases of pains
in the stomach, colic and cholera mor
bus by taking it in water as hot as can
be drank. That when taken in this way
the effect is double in rapidity. "It
seems to get at the right spot instant
ly," he says. For sale by Laurens
