I wouldn't read the edito rial page of your paper under any circumstances", said a nood and sub- i stantial citizen some time ago to the editor of this paper. "I don't agree i with a single thing you say. ami [ don't like your policy-' all of which was said in perfect candor and with' > it ill feeling. "nut", continued our | friend, "I do rend every bll of the news nnd don't hesitate to sny thai The Ad vertiser is the best newspaper In the county; it has more news, a better class of new.-,, put up In finer and more convenient style than that of any county paper around here. It's a line newspaper, but I don't like the edito rial pago". "And yet you take the paper'' be was questioned. "Yes, for I don't luiv to read what i don'l want", sod he "l pay for The Advertiser because it i-, a newspaper", Contrast the above with the follow ing statement: "No. I don't want The Advertiser: I don'l like Its editorial writings and I won't have the paper". "Well", pur. tied the questioner, "Is it not the best paper in the county for news"? "Yes", replied the objector, "I have heard that it is. bill I don'l wallt It". We are fully aware of the fl.CI tiial there are a great many people in lite county who totally disagree with on almost every subject of public in- J (??rest. Some of these read Olli' opill lOUHt others do not. The point is that we do not fail out over our differences, Cond very often results from a fair discussion of a question; Indeed, hon i -it debate is the very best source of information. if we heard only those liiin.ns which u ? nlreadj know and cgiee upon there is little opportunity for mental growth, To brush up with opposing view.- is a mosi excellent In centive to deeper thinking, and a III I ml that meets no Opposition, will not hear the other side, very often mows ster ile, ami soon becomes circumscribed by very narrow hounds. The Advertiser i.i edited, uninflu enced by any particular Interest, save the good of all the people. What is said In the editorial columns Is based on an honest desire to be of benefit and Interest to the readers of the pa per. We have no pet schemes or ends to serve; our Held of discussion is not limited by any "interests" hid den from the public. Our desire is to discuss public quest Ions from our standpoint and let our readers know Our >tand. Nor do we quarrel with our friends tor holding the opposite \ iews. litit that U liol the point we would emphasize.

Whereas Ood, In His all-wise Prov idence, has again thinned ou depleted ranks by removing from this earthly camp to the eternal camping-ground, where the Immortal hosts of departed Comrades have been so long gather ing, our beloved comrades, Geo. NV. Moore of Co. A, 3rd S. C. battalion, an 1 J. W. Adair of Co. [, 3rd S. C. regiment, both of Camp H. S. Owens. No. 9UL*. U. C. V:. Therefore, resolved that by the death of these dear comrades we have lost two as brave and loyal soldiers as ever went forth In answer to their country's cull, to do valiant service for their native state, or ever marched under the folds of the starry cross In the trying days of the great war be tween the North and South. These were soldiers that were al ways loyal, brave and true: men that shrank from no duty or peril, whether on the long, weary inarch, the regu lar routine of camp lite, the midnight vigils of the dangerous picket post. In the fevered ward of the dreaded hospital or in the carnage and tumult of battle. Enlisting in the early stages of the struggle, they were of Kershaw's fa mous brigade, which did heroic ser vice In ail the great campaigns? to all the world- of the far-famed Army of Northern Virginia, from Ma uassas to Apponiattox. To give the story of the war servie? of our comrades would he to write the history of that army whose cam paigns furnish lessons for the stu dent of the art of war in every land, and whose magnificent achievements excite the wonder of the world. Returning to thell" desolate homes at the close of the war. and again taking up the responsibilities of civil life, they were as true as citizens, as parents, and as consistent members of the Christian Church and in all the relations of life us they had been loyal and brave in the war. And again, when the dark days of reconstruction came and the avenging Itr.nd "i relentless conqueror was laid upon our prostrate state, these weiv; among thai faithful hand thai ro>e up j|, resistance anil, bidding de dnnce to the minions of power, drove ?he alien from our horders. and by forever assuring Anjf'o-Saxon rule, ni de possible the mag - growth, and atlory. and greatness of our beloved Southland. While sorrowing in our loss, we vould humble ourselves in Btibmls don to the Divine will. We extend to the bereaved families and I'rl nds of oar deceased brothers unr deepest sympathy nnd condolence, mil commend them to the loving com passion of lllm without whose knowl <d te not even the smallest of his i features shall fall.
