Does This Mean You?
It is extremely distasteful to a
newspaper to be coutinually duuniug
'* -- A1- ?? ? lin At-iol 1
its suDScnoens uiruugu lid CUJIVllMi
columns and we are uo exception to
the rule. At the same time we have
between four and five hundred subscribers
on our books, each of whom
is owing a dollar or more for the
paper they have been reading for a
year or longer without paying one
cent towards its support. In the
aggregate this amouuts to quite a
sum?more than we are able or willing
to lose without an effort to collect
it
The cotton cropis all about harvested
and now ;s the time for all to meet
this obligation if they intend .doing
so at all. On January 1 we shall
revise our mailing list and cut off
delinquents such as wc despair of
collecting from, as no newspaper
can afford to carry a dead weight of
several hundred delinquents. We
would rather have five hundred bona
fide subscribers who appreciate a
paper sufficiently to pay for it than
two thousand who do not pay at the
beginning of the year, the end of *the
year or at any time during the year.
A great many of our frieDds have
pud their subscription, quite a num.' ber
in advance^ to 1904. To them
this article is not directed and they
have our sincere thanks for their
thoughtful kindness. We hope that
the great majority of those indebted
to pa will come forward at once aud
pay up as they are abundantly able
to do with cotton selling at nearly
^eleven dents a pound. Como up,
friends, and favor the paper that has
favored you.
Lorig Range Thievery.
As easy marks for advertising
. fakers the weekly newspapers of the
State are "the limit" Many of
them accept without question any
old advertising proposition that
comes their way and at the end of
three or six months, as the case may
be, after numerous appeals for setxl??*
?u;,??k o /loaf par i* turned
llflllt'UL lu nuivu u uw . ?
by the stony-hearted grafters, they
close up the account with a sigh
and the entry, "profit and loss, net
loss," and that is the end of the
transaction so far as the publisher is
concerned. j
There is such a thing as learning
by experience and in due course of
time even the gold brick scheme
peters out in the most, bucolio vi
ciuity; but the publishers of weekly I
newspapers seem never to imbibe I
sufficiently of the waters of experience
so freely furnished them as to
tone their systems up to the poiut of
declining tbs alluring ''propositions"
bo frequently offered by advertising
l| ~V-jsharks and swindlers.
m As an example in point we have
' in mind n proposition made us some
355KaL -
time ago by a concern Advertising a
cure for the morphine habit. The
price offered was rather liberal as
such things go, but the contract
stipulated that payments were to be
made semi-annually. "We wrote
them that we would allow a discount
of 10 per cent for cash and if this
were not agreeable please to furnish
references. They replied that they
did not have to pay in advance for
their advertising as they could get
all they wanted on time (and doubtless
they could), adding that as their
company was a newly orgauized one
it had no rating in Dun's or Bradstreet's,
but that at a small expense
we could get from these agencies a
report as to their financial standing.
We did not care to incur the small
expense and so^ the matter ended.
But we have seen this same concern's
advertisements in dozens of weekly
newspapers throughout the State,
and we understand that no attention
is being paid to bills sent in;by papers
which have been carrying the advertising
six months or longer. It is
in this way that Northern swindlers
rob their victims of thousands of
dollars yearly and it is high time
that the Southern weekly newspapers
learned not to be deceived by the
specions promises of those who thrive
and prosper by long range thievery.
The Fifty-eighth Congress met
Monday in extra session in response
to the call of President Roosevelt.
The purpose of the session is to enact
legislation to make effective the Cuban
reciprocity treaty.
Emperor "William, of Germany,
had a polypus removed from his
throat recently. Our idea of a polypus
is somewhat hazy but we infer that
his majesty did not need it in his
business or his throat either, and we
are glad to learn that he succeeded
in getting it on the outside.
Through an oversight of the
dealer who furnishes us with paper,
our last week's edition fell short between
150 and 200 copies. For
this reason we could not send papers
to a number of our exchanges
and about half of our subscribers
out of the county had to go lacking.
We reeret exceedingly our inability
n w > .v
to send a copy of the paper to every
one entitled to receive it. The condition
arose through the negligence
of others and v>c shall do our best
to prevent its recurrence.

of the United States is based upon
some treaty of musty date, which it
is alleged guarantees the peaceful
operation of the railroad traversing
the isthmus. It is plainly evident
that the "milk in the cocoanut" for
the United States is the Panama
canal franchise.

blood will attack the
N^?o<-woS^u>x vital organs or the
kidneys themsel/es break down and waste
away cell by cell. S
Bladder troubles most always result from j
! a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
[ obtained quickest by a proper treatment of g
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
I can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's t
1 Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and

It corrects inability to hold urine and scald- i

unpleasant necessity 01 Deing compenea 10 y

; times during the night. The mild and the p
I extraordinary effect of .^-vamp-Root is soon .,
realized. It stands the highest for its won- II
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold "
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar ^
sized bottles. You may
