ERRORS IN TRANSMISSION:
Anyone who edits a coun-j
try newspaper, or any oiner
sort for that matter,, becomes in a
measure accustomed to typographical
errors that renders his
writing oftimes absurd. A single
letter in a word sometimes changing
a whole sentence, and making
it absurdly meaningless and very j
humiliating to the long-suffering
editor. As a rule we do not attempt
to correct or apologise for
these seemingly inevitable errors,
however grotesquely distorting are
tfieir ettect,.taking it tor granieu.
that our intelligent readers are
sufficiently indulgent to translate,
what we appear to say as nearly
as possible what wo mean to express.
In looking over the last issue of
The Record, however, we- teel
that some apology is due for the
unfortunate mistakes that crept
into our leading editorial. This
article was sent bv telegram as a j
^special,'' the writer not being.!
able to send it by mail early
enough;..and in the several transcriptions
it is not remarkable that
the mutilation resulted. To say
^thej&^wwrVchildren," instead of
the former's must make some
change of meaning, and the substi[
lotion of unfortunate for importu- '
natc is indeed unfortunate in effect.
1
Institute for institution might be ;
overlooked, but to say the State's!
chief executors for its Chief Executive
is decidedly open to criticism.
Then agreement"and argu
merit'am not exactly synonymous, J
and the using of one for the other;
makes an awkward confusion of;
[ . meaning.
This explanation is made as an ;
apology lor anything.in these colums
that is unintelligible. We}
try to avoid being abstruse at all
times, and any assertion that
smacks ot mystery of meaning is '
usuallv attributable to the tricks'
*
of t he tvpes.

TO SMASH THE TRUST. |.
I Every newspaper in the Slate, \
anil in the United States, should (

We are in the grasp of a motiop-j
olv, which is gradually crushing
the life out of every one connected i
with the printer's trade. In order
to print i! is necessary to havej
papery and for the past twelve
months all kinds of printing ma-!
terial have gone up in juice, and
are still advancing so rapidly as I
to cause serious apprehension to
Niose who ply the printer's-art. !
The quickest ana surest way ?u
gain relief is to pet the tariff re-1
ferred to repealed. Tins would i
speedily . smash the com- j
bine and bring printing material j
. ?
to a price where a living margin
of profit can he made.
While one newspaper can accomplish
but little, ii we all take
it up and pass along the cry, we
are bound to wim Let us aot in
concert for our self protection.
The candidaev of iMr. Barnwell
, * I
in the first district, has evoked no
little newspaper discussion in all
parts of the State. There is hardly
a doubt as to the ultimate result.
The people of Charleston
want Mrv Barnwell 10 represent
them, and he is as good as elected.

valiant service, but needs now

The election of Mr. Barnwell will
be a distinct gam not alone to the
First District but to the whole
State.?Sumter Freeman.
One important question for
each iarmer to decide at once is
how much fertilizer he is going to
buy. The manufacture of this article
is in the hands of a bi<r trust,
and the price has been raised.
The only offset or redress 'hat the
larmer has. is the option of buy
ing as little or as much as he
pleases. lie should study to diminish
tha amount purchased
without incurring risk of diminishing
the crop yield. This can
he done by making more manure
on the farm, by better preparation,
and better cultivation.?Uaffney

The rise in paper is really get- i
ting serious 1 or the newspapers of
the country and one by. one they
are announcing that they hav.e|
lound it necessary to raise the'
price of their, papers to $1.50 or $2.!
One thing is certain. The papers!,
cannot afford tosend out copies to j
people w.ho are careless about ;
paying for it. As tire price isl
now., many papers are sending'
out more than a dollar's worth of j1
paper, not counting the cost ot j1
anything.connected with .the print-!'
ing or the mailing for the price ol 1
one dollar,.and it is said tlmt the '
prce is still rising. We are in- '

The Career of Lord Roherts.
Lord Roberts is a soldier as!(.

rivers was made for, he replied: '

migration of races, the develop- ?
ment ot military ambitions?all
these turbid loEces which govern
the destinies of peoples appear to
the soldier,, whether he is in a
cocked hat or in. the plain regimentals
of the rank and file, as
impart ant chiefly, in so far as
they culminate in fighting. It is
his business to fight, and like tlitapostie
he says:. "This one thing
I do." This conception of energy
and supreme devotion to profes- j
sional duty may not impress us as '
representing the highest type of ^
human evolution, but it/ is certainly
quite different from the
point of view of the ordinary citi- ]
zen--so ditrerent that in reading
Lood Roberts' story we are con
tinuallv reminded that he is- pract-!}
ically a denizen of another world. JWe
do not feel this in relation to '
many soldiers. General Gordon
lor instance, although a brilliant
officer, devoted to the array, never [
sank the man it*, the soldier, but
aiwavs remained philanthropist,
statesman, humorist, and religious
genius beneath his regimentals.
It wo ild be unkind to say that 1
Lord Iioberts is a soldier and
nothing else, but he is certainly
saturated through and through
with the atmosphere ol' the camp.
Ue has breathed it ad his lite. |
It is his world. lie is even more I
of a Tommy Atkins than 'Tommy i
Atkins hiraseU, who is of short
service, whereas Lord Roberts has
put in nearly fifty years of service, J
