NEWSPAPER POSITIONS.
Sometimes Difficult to Give Certain
Articles Prominent Place.
The following article clipped from
the Conway Herald contains so much
* that is true and not known to the
genera] reader of a newspaper that
we want our readers to get the benefit
of it. We, as doubtless every
other newspaper, have had these
complaints about obscure position,
when it has not been the fault of the
editor at all. As a matter of fact,
outside of the editorial and local column,we
never know what page or
position any article will occupy.
That is left entirely to the printer
o: "make-up" man, who distributes
and places the various "pieces" he
has in type according totheirlength.
It is no small task to make two or
tiree dozen pieces of columns of
tvne fit into a six-column form.
*v r"? ? - "
so that the page may be "locked up"
ready for the press, and the busy
printer, as a rule, is wondering
far more where a certain article will
"fit in" than what column or page
it will occupy. It is a fact little
known to the uninitiated that after
the type is set it requires from three
to four hours to "make up" each
form of the paper (a form containing
from two to four pages, as a
rule). Then comes the work of making
ready on the big press?getting
_ the impression regulated, the ink
distributed, etc. Then comes the
printing,folding, labeling, wrapping
and mailing two thousand papers,
A "country" printing office is a busy
8?ene Wednesdays and Thursdays.
That is why we haven't time to set
much type on those days The following
is from the Horry Herald:
In addition to the numerous other
troubles and tribulations of the
newspaper man is always added the
fault-finding and complaints of certain
people who think that they have
a right to dictate to the editor the
exact way in which his paper shall
be conducted,even down to the mat
ter or wnai special position on tne
printed page he shall give to certain
articles written by them or in which
they feel some special interest. We
had an example of this a short time
ago, when a man who has taken the
paper for many years wrote us to
discontinue his subscription for the
reason, and no other, that an article
he had contributed had been printed
on an inside page. How small such
a complaint as this appears to one
who is familiar with a newspaper office,
the one who makes such a complaint
will perhaps never know. In
the case that we here mention.there
was not even a special request sent
with the article to publish it on the
front page. As it seems to the editor,
any contributor ought to know
that the paper and its management
will do the very best they can for
him and his needs. This is the attitude
that a man ought to have.
Should any request be denied or
modified in the performance, take it
for granted that the editor of the
paper naa gooa reasons ior rne
course he took and wait for better
attention the next time. The contributor
of an article does not know
the circumstances surrounding the
paper and its managemeat at the
time the article reaches its office.
How can he know the exact state of
the type forms and the space that is
available at that particular time?
From the way some people act, it
appears that they do not think that
it is any trouble at all to publish a
newspaper. They think that it is
just as easy to get an article in the
^ . paper and print it as it is to strike
it off on a typewriter or duplicating
machine. If their sort would spend
wiArtb il* 0?IT AAnnfwiT
a wccit in VIIC vulvae ui aiij wumij
newspaper and thus understand the
difficulties,the perplexities, the worry
and the nerve-racking trouble
that is the portion of the printer,
they would henceforth and forever
refrain from raising complaints such
as that above referred to. As we
have already said,give the paper the
credit for doing the best it can under
the circumstances for every one
of its readers,and then you will have
the right feeling toward it. You will
be treating the editor as a neighbor
and a friend. The newspaper has to
depend upon the support of the public
to keep it going. Therefore the
editor is obliged to serve the public
in the very best way he can. But he
cannot do everything. Time is too
short and circumstances will never
permit his giving to every man at
all times the exact things he demands.
Remember this and refrain
from adding your little complaint
and criticism to the thousands of
other troubles that fall to the lot of
the newspaper publisher.

Kingstree, September 6.
Saturday afternoon an unusually
large crowd was seen gathering
around a wagon on West Main street.
At fir^t it was thought that soin serious
accident had occurred. But
upon investigation it Was discovered
that George W M Jones, an angler
of much repute, had hooked something
out of the ordinary along the
piscatorial line.
It was a sturgeon, caught in the
Pee Dee river, a few miles west of
here, Saturday morning.
The fish weighed 197 pounds and
was seven feet long. Mr Jones was
carving and selling as though it were
** TU a nroc 9A nun I C

per pound. A large amount of roe
was also obtained. This by-product,
it was understood,was to be shipped
to Northern markets at a price of
$1.50 per pound. It was stated on
good authority that this one fish
would net the lucky angler about
$100 in cash.
The sturgeon is practically boneless.
Its spine is a cartilaginous substance
which may be used also.
As a result of this lucky haul the
boys who had laid aside their tackle
for the summer are rigging up again
and it is expected that the Pee Dee
will be alive with expectant fishermen
for some time yet.? Bee Bet

Don't Let Baby Suffer with Eczema and
Skin Eruptions.
Babies need a perfect skin-covering.
Skin eruptions cause them not
only intense suffering, but hinder
their growth. Dr Hobson's Eczema
Ointment can be relied on for relief
and permanent cure of suffering babies
whose skin eruptions have made
their life miserable. "Our baby was
afflicted with breaking out of the
skin all over the face and scalp.
Doctors and skin specialists failed to
help. We tried Dr Hobson's Eczema
Ointment and were overjoyed to see
baby completely cured before one
box was used," writes Mrs Strubler,
