THE NEWS AND COURIER MAKES SOME SENSIBLE REMARKS. There is too Much Free Advertising Done by the Newspapers of South Carolina. About a month ago the News and Courier received a highly gratifying communication from a number of gentlemen in this city who are interested in educational work, thanking it for, "the generous manner in which you manifest your interest in the general education of the youth of the ? % j State." Yesterday we received a letter from the president of one ol the most flourishing colleges in \' the State enclosing an advertise ment of the college and a check ? for three dollars to pay lor it. The advertisement was long and the check short. In audition to the publication of the advertisenien% as many times as we could fur i lie monev. a reauest was made for such a notice in I he feadiitg col urns of I he paper a> we could prepare. It is only fair to * - say that tIre president expressed regret that the appropriation for advertising was so small that he could not expend more than the amount transmitted for the purpose. But we should like to .know why the appropriation for advertising the colleges* and schools is always so small? The i newspapers in South Carolina .are remarkably ^ generous in their treatment of the colleges and schools. In no other State in tie Union, we dare say, do the newsnaners till so much of their space * ~r with free advertising of the schools. In no other State, we dare say again, do the colleges and schools spend less for newspaper advertising. As to the college which we now have in mind the newspapers have within the last few years, or since its establishment, given it thousands of dollars worth of advertising, and given it gladly, and from a sense of public duty, and without the hope or expectation ot reward. We doubt that it could have succeeded without their assistance? certainly it would not have made its way to the public heart sc _ quickly without the approving words of the press. But when il comes to "business," the college is singularly contracted in its viev\ as to the value of advertising It has been willing to accept al that could be said of it and foi it in the news colunis of the pa pers, but it cuts the advertising t( the bone when it comes to doinj business in a business way. Anc as long as the newspapers accep what it chooses to offer for theii services they will never get bet ter paid. The president of tlx college in view doubtless proceed upon the theory that "a bird ii the hand is worth two in th * * * * * ?????? ?a?? I I I ' 1?

This is trading, however, i ami not business. While we are on this subject | we should like to suggest to our ; Columbia contemporaries and to other newspapers in the State, j that there is a great deal of what j is called "official advertising" that should be paid for, but is done for nothing. Possibly there is some news" in almost every official statement, hut the "news" could j j be covered in a few lines while | the full statement would fill hall l a column or perhaps several col-j ' iimns. Why waste space on proclamations and crders and decla rations and statements of a pub-J ! lie nature that are w??rlh so much to the newspapers as "news," but would be worth a great deal more as advertising? The present ex perinient in campaign reporting has given so general satisfaction I to ihe newspapers and the public i that we have thought it might be ! extended inthe direction we have {indicated. The Baltimore Sun is j a very rich newspaper, and it has i made a pile of money out of poll licians who have statements to ! make. We have been told that I in active campaign years the income of the Sun from this source amounts to as much or more than 25,000. A little condensation in the une\vs"reports would doubtless have a good effect on the ad-' jvertising business. An associated press for newsgathering is a good thing?an associated press for business purposes might not be a bad thing.?News and Courier. To Core Conatlputloii Komtm.

But violence begets violence, and when a man seeks to use force against tho-e who are less power fill, outraged justice will strike down the perpetrator of crinn. To stop the lynching of negroes is just as easy as falling of a log. The negroes, and not the Governor, have the power. The resolutions of the Columbia negroes may em bolden evil hearts. If so their crime will surely be punished. Johnson*s Chill and Fever Tonic is a ONE-DAY Cure. It cures the most stubborn case of Fever in 24 Hours.

Not Davy of the Alamo, l?nt His Nephew, at Cimarron, N. "It was in the summer o? 1^77 that I first visited New Mrrrico to inspect the Moreno mine 111 tho interest of a syndicate of New York capitalists," said ('. J. Ilixou, a mine rjqicrt and mineralogist. "Awaiting tho arrival of certain parties I was to meet, I staid at Cimarron, at tho famous Lambert's hotel. I don't know whether it is now ill existence or not, but then, eonsidering its environment, it was, so l'ar as beds and tho table '.\>nr, a 1. marltaMy good house to 1-0 i ,t But til' *. " wore other features about it that w?.re rather startling to ? man of quiet tastes. The landlord, with something of pride, pointed out the bullet holes that riddled the walls and ceiling cf his barroom and informed, mo that 25 men had been killed in that room?seven in a single year. lie told me of sorno of the orgies enacted there when the cowlioys came in from the round up with a realism that made me glad that I had arrived at a tine when thej were expected to be out on the range. I exhausted the sights of tlio town?a litle half American, half Mexican settlement built along the Cimarron river?in ouo brief stroll and spent tho rest of the first day there with a novel in the barroom, which was also the hotel office. "Two cow men rode into town early in tho day and, in company with one or two of tho townsmen, paid pretty constant attention to Lambert's bar. My host took occasion to point out one of them and tell mc in a whisper that he was Davy Crockett, who had come to New Mexico from Texas. Ho was a 1 ? it.., nepiiuw tii iuu j iTiciuuitu iu scng and story who ended liis days in the massacre at the Alamo. " 'He did most of the business when the three negro soldiers were shot in this town last year,' said Lambert. 'Ho and Jim Lanier, the man that's with him, had to go out and live with the Utes and Apaches until the affair blew over. No, they never wero brought to trial; couldn't get a grand jury in Colfax county to indict them. The sheriff holds warrants against them, but it would be as much as his life is worth to try to arrest them. You can see how nice and peaceable they are when nothing comes up to irritate them.' "I looked with interest at Crockett, a little, wiry fellow with a thin lipped, determined mouth and a keen, unquailing eye, but in no way unpleasant of expression or manner. He and his companion were typical cowboys in dref?s. They drank stoadily and quietly all day, the only clfcct of the liquor they took being to make them by degrees a little more jocular and talkative. From time to time the name of Reinhart, the shoriff, came up, and I could see that thero was no good feeling between them and him. "Evening came, and at about 10 o'clock I went up stairs to my room, leaving the two cow men and their friends still drinking at the bar. I did not go at once to bed, but eat by my window enjoying the beauty of the night, with its soft, cool air, clear sky and brilliant stars. I had begun to undres9 when the two cow men came out from the tavern and mounted their horses. I heard tliem tell some oue that they were going out to their camp on the mesa to I start on a cow hunt next day. Eadh naci a uiiio uHrmuiuuuu?mwi. gan, it is often called?and they rode dowr. the main street of Cimarron sido by side, playing in unison a sentimental tune which was pleasant to hear. " I had turned from the window, when bang, bang, bang ?bang, bang ?bang, bang?King, came the sound of a volley of shotgun* from some*' whero down the road, then a cry | and a rush of horses' feet. Two I horses were dashing out of town like runaways. On one was a swaying man, who still kept in his saddle; the other was riderless, as I learned afterward. Davy Crockett lay dead in the road, shot full of slugs and buckshot. A party, evidently learning the route the two cow men would take, had lain for them in ambush behind a fence. Crockett fell dead to the ground with tho sound of the voHey, but his companion, desperately wounded, managed to cling to his horse. and the animal tooJc mm our oj: danger and carriod him to tho cattle camp. He eventually recovered from his wounds. "It was generally ?aid in Cimar ron that the attackirg party was a sheriff's posse, headed by Reinharl. I don't know that the statement ever was denied, for, if true, he might have been acting within the limits of his authority. I knew enough not to mix or meddle in Cimarron feuds or jjolitics and no!? to bo inquisitive. I never beard that any pretense cf investigation was ever made as to this carefully premeditated killing, which was an incident of my introduction into New Mexican life."?New York Sun. mmi . i**l ' rife fit * GLENN SPRIN G-LEIT^S^ Thoroughly BCe novated, N??rvl?,?
