Love your enemies and you

It is not always the coward
who runs for ofEce.
Dr Cook seems to have first cooked
up his data about the North
Pole and then doctored it.
And now comes an eichauge
remarking that the blackest thing
abo*t the North Pole "rucus'.' is
Matt Hensoc.

It's a pity that pellagra should
be discovered just - as South
Carolina farmers are learning
how to make big corn crops.
A correspondent or me uolumOia
State objects to putting
a supreme coart building on the
Capitol grounds. So do we, or
any where else until the State is
better able to afford the luxury.
Complaint is made that there
are uot enough offices in the State
House to accommodate the officers.
The best 6oluti?n would be to
abolish some of the offices. As
long m the Legislature continues,
to create superfluous offices there j
will never be office room enough J
to go around.
While "in durance vile'' during
the next few years Messrs John
Y Carlington and J Stobo
Young will have time and opportunity
to chew the cud of
bitter reflection and ponder the
world old problem as to who is
the bigger fool, the "sucker"
who gets fooled or the "wise
guy" who does the fooling:
"High finance" in South Carolina,
as exemplified in the "Seminole
Securities" bubble, received
a 6e*eie iolt in it* initial stage

by the conviction of the chief
promoter* of the glittering "getrich-rjjick''
enterprise. The "high
social standing and excellent
iam.ly connection" of tile exponents
of "frenzied finance"

against the expense of the junket- ]

railroad fare and entertainment is J
ouly the begiuning. Having ac- '

hearted, philauthropic gentlemen (
who hold the purse-strings of the *

Any of Them Here? ^
One of the most embarrassing v
1 thing3 a country editor has to
contend with is the disposition I
of people to wait until the last ^
moment before going to press and *
I then rush m with their items ^
which they "want in this week,
sure" This is particularly the *
case with those who wi3h to
make announcements which they 1
expect to have inserted gratis. ^
People do not reflect upon the c
fact that the newspaper is made j
up during the whole week and d
that its capacity is limited to d
just so much, and the matter
gauged accordingly. If the editor ^
8<
should await the convenience of j
those who have something they
want published he would not *
get his paper out until the next ^
week and theu he would have j.
to delay two or three days until ^
some kind friend had made up I
his mind about a notice he T
wants in^ but which he hasn't ^
beeu able to prepare just to
suit him. A great many people t
r
don't get their notices published j
in consequence of this disposition y
to put off to the last minute.?Ex. t

How Delays Occur. 5
We try to be accommodating in
dealing with our advertisers and *
C
when we make the time limit for ^
! receiving change of "copy" Tuesday (
j at noon, that is the extreme limitI
Many papers we know of require the ,
! change to be handed in by Monday,
j noon, and some fix even Saturday <.
I for the limit. The individual ad- r
!
j vertiser can't understand why, if }
I
j he brings in his change a few hours
; after the time limit, we protest
' against taking it. lie thinks that
it would be a very simple matter to
(accommodate him just that one time,
And so it would, but we have to
treat all alike and if a dozen or
' more a Ivcrtisers demanded their advertisements
changed on Tuesday
afternoon it would take us until the
| next Meek to get the paper issued. 1
Ye !ix the time limit at Tuesday

diunges coming in before that
ime and, as aniatttrof fact they
lo, otherwise we would fitul it
lifticu't to handle them all, even
.hough they came within the time
limit.
Last week we had three advertisements
to come in after the
:ioon hour. We tried to be accomodating,
as they were only an
hour or two late, and we could
aot change one aud refuse the
jther two-, so we undertook to
iccomodate all three of our
friends and hired extra help to try to
jet the paper out on time. But
in spite cf our efforts the paper
was twenty-four hours late in
jetting to press.
No one who has not had experience
in a newspaper office can
realize how these apparently trivial
matters bring about delay. We
want to give our readers a full
supply of local news each week and
also to get the paper out on time,
but it is impossible to do both
atiless we can get news letters,
idvertisements and all articles for
*
aublication in time to sec the type,
;orrect the proofs and\ make up
:orms.
