tkh Br T K'] ' / t / I i i WHAT IS A NEWSPAPER. Is II Appears to tbt City Editor Vitb a Trenchant Pen. A newspaper is the thing which every person in town knows how to run except the editor. It is what should be an oven for "roasts" on overy one except himself, members of your family and a few of your friends, for whom it should be a sweet scented bouquet of praise. It is a promoter of profanity if it il not on the front porch when you get down in the morning, and what you tell the man who works on it isn't fit to go into a decent person's home. It is what the young man who borrows it from the saloon bar "kicks" abont because it contaius only oae sporting page and which the woman tells her neighbor when she takes it back is not worth subscribing for because it has but one page devoted to fashions and making currant jam. It is what the merchant threatens to pnll his ad out of because he can* sot have the run of the paper and what the old subscriber declares is gomg to the4,demnition bowwows" because it is getting so that nothing bnt advertising can get a position iD it any more. It is what you want to see the editor to keep your name out of as soon as you have settled with the police juctice on the morning after- < and to get your name into as soon as the cards are issued two' weeks before. Tt. is inst t/w? "nnrrid and innniai? tive for anything, and "please keep ! my name out" when the reporter wishes to know about the bridge i whist club and which is the mean old sheet that never gets anything light when your name is omitted ' from "among those present," 1 * It is what no one ever forgets to I condemn for its mistakes and never < remembers to praise for the good it accomplishes. 1 It is a subsidized organ when it 1 fails to tell about the millionaire's ] wife running away with the coach- ; man and a libelous yellow rag when 1 it reports your police court trial for killing your neighbor's rooster. ' It is what is difficult to print so as to suit anybody and r' which would be uothing but eight pages of blank white paper with a headline if i it were published so as to suit every- ' body.

The Cotton Gins at Kingstree are now thoroughly overhauled and are every day ginning all the cotton that can be brought j to them from a radius of j ten miles. The large Ginnery at the Oil I Mill h<*s been remodeled and a I house added, and this ginnery! turns out a bale every ten minutes. The down-town Ginnery, which has established a reputation for itself in the past, turns out a bale every twenty minutes. So no one need have any fear of being delayed.

Ons of Byron's ?eo*ntrtc!ti#<b With reference to the story of Byron's first invitation to dinner at the house of the poet Rogers, in St. James' place, which we quoted the dther day, a corespondent reminds lis that it had a sequel. Byron, it will be remembered, refused every dish, saying he took nothing but biscuits and soda water and made his meal of mashed potatoes drenched with vinegar. Rogei-s completes the story in his table talk. "Some days after, meeting Hobhouse, I said to him, 'How long will Byron persevere in his present diet?* He replied, 'Just so long as you continue to notice it.' I cid not then know what I now know to be a, fact ?that Byron, after leaving my house, had gone to a club in St James' street and eaten a hearty meat supper.'*?London Globe. A Judge of Mueic.
