"WHAT THE PEOPLE READ. ??twspaper Obligations to Fornish the News. The newspaper that is really consci? entious lr. its motives, that seeks, to co ^5 much good as it may, in its.prop? er arena of activity, and as little barm . as possible, is often put to it to know what not to print and is oftener still misjudged. While it should strive to be ab educational aid moral agent, it can not lose sight of the fact that it is also ? business enterprise, and while many things present themselves to it which lt would prefer :iot to print, there are many of these ?hat it must print or e go out of business; for the press ust be first of all, a purveyor of - news and the people~ will not stand 'or a. paper that is colorless. It must e the world as it is, and, with due regard always to the properties of life, publish what happens, if it be of a public nature and o:! interest to a large j enough part of the public to warrant. the giving to it of the space it occupies^ The Charleston Post was a3ked the er day, why it printed the ~_ sports the Kan Patterson trial, and an-, -swered, because they entertained its readers. *""We give them what they want." it says, and continues: "That is our duty as a newspaper. They pay for news and to be entertained and try to give them a fair return for eir investment. Probably a small proportion of the public will admit that it prefers this class of news to more whol esome, if dull, relations. But the newspapers know better, for they keep the record-and'also hold the bag. For instance, yesterday tele? phone inQuirles to thc Post begcrx to come in as early as 10 o'clock upon -the verdict of the Nan Patterson jury, and they continued until the paper, went to press and carried out the full report, on the findings of the show ?girl's trial. And every member of the .staff who went upon tthe streets was asked for the latest reports from the jury room ta New Torfe. Those are con ?ditibnss which the newspaper people, must take cognizance of." The Post appends to these judicious remarks, some -equally judicious from The Richmond News Leader in rela? tion to the recent McCue case at Char? lottesville. Va. The McCue case was. foul in some pf its parts; so was the Nan Patterson -case-tthe latter more so by iiTesis^|P hie inference than in blunt language. "Yet. had the Richmond News Leader Scored the. McCue case and The ?Charelston Post the Nan ;Patterson ? ?case, what would have followed? Why, j their constituents would have fallen > away from them and turned to papers ~ which knew enough to print the news Tvhich intereest the-r readers when lt is [,' at al! fit to print. The paper T-w^h \ gives its people only v*hat it thinks is j ! best for them won't have anybody to L . grve;tb?t?to.:any longer ^tha:?. it Jakes;v -policy. The Observer hesitated a week be- ? fore giving; currency to the pantheistic theology declared by Dr. Lyman Ab? bott before the students oil Harvard ' College Sunday a week ago. If the influences of such publication as that are appreciable, they tend ito harm~r|| certainly they cannot be said to tend to good; they tend to unsettle the foundations of the ancient faith and offer ba its stead nothing better nor so good. Yet they are interesting; not to say sensational; and even the religious press has been busy with Dr. Abbott's sermon, furnishing its sub? stance, of course, as a basis of com? ment. The Observer-not ah impartial judge, to be 3ure-thought itself a pretty good paper Sunday. It carried the current news of the city. State and country, and a number of special ar? ticles, some of them very deiightful articles; others miended to he very elevating and very helpful-intended to lead men and women to better thought and to better living. It heard one man that day-he a church mem? ber and a Sunday school teacher speak of the morning paper. And bf what in it? Why, the article about Dr. Abbott and his sermon. Why about the article alone? Because, it interested him more than any other in the pajier. And there you are. Le charitable with a newspaper as long as it remains within the confines of decency, of legitimate news publi? cations, and legitimate discussion.* It doe? not necessarily give currency to stories of badness or heresy for the love of it, but because it is in the lined of its business and its duty.-Char? lotte observer.

'y "Ariele 4. Should Russsian mili? tary or naval men be deemed to bave destroyed objects named in Article 2 or to have caused alteration in any way in their condition at the exist? ing time, the signing of this compact and the negotiations shall'be annulled and t?3 Japanese army will take free action. "Article 5.

"Article IL One copy each of this compact shall be prepared for the Japanese and Bnssian armies, and it shaH have immediatee effect upon signature thereof. " Disrespect for Court. People who complain of a growing disrespect for tbe courts might learn why the courts are not respected as of yore by keeping in touch with court decisions. In a Hartford, Coun., court two sentences were imposed on the same day, and they deserve atten? tion. An ex-jugde, who embezzled trust funds to the amount of $5,572 was sentenced to one year in jail. A man who had stolen a horse was sentenced to two years and six months in the state prison. This sort of things is so common that there is small wonder why men are not as re? spectful as they were towards the courts of the land. The pioneer work of the Alaskan telegraph system recently completed was begun in 1865, before the Atlantic cable was laid. The projectors aimed io counect the new and old world by the Bering Strait route. Cyrus Field's great achievement in 1868 dashed this enterprise to the ground. The new system is entirely on United States territory and comprises 2,127 miles of cable, 1,504 miles of land lines and 107 miles of wireless system. In 1897 tbe average cost of white paper to the leading daily newspapers of the country was a bent $35 per ton. Today some of them pay as high as $45 per ton ; and the average costs probab? ly above $41. In other words, under "trust*' control in the paper trade the newspaper publishers of the United States are paying about S?,800.OOO a year more for paper than they paid when competition iu the trade was free, when prices were not set arbitra? rily, wbeu there was no "division of territory" and nothing approaching monopoly iu the business. I KAILROAD BUILDING IX 1904. Total Construction Amounted to Only S.S32 MiiC?s tbe Smallest Num? ber Since 1898. The Railroad Gazettte of Dec. 30 says : "Official Tetnrns from the majority of the railroad companies in the country, supplemented by our own records and figures furnished by the ; state railroad commissions, show that j approximately 3,832 miles of new main \ track have been built in the United Sta?s during the calendar year 1904. These figures do not include second j track, sidings nor electric lines. "The. sum total is the smallest re- ! ported since 1898, when 3,265 miles were built. Tbe fall off from last year amounts to about 33"per cent, and is undoubtedly due to the suspension of work by some of the larger railroads on all construction which was not ab? solutely necessary until such tims as the business outlook warranted the completion of the work. "Texas leads the list with track laid on S23 miles, a sight decrease over 1903. Missouri is second with 270 miles; Mississippi third, with 268 miles, and Minnesota fourth, with 221 miles. The largest decrease is report? ed in Oklahoma Territory, where only 163 mile?) were built, as compared with 661 miles in 1903. j Thi3 is large? ly due to the fact that several of the leading railroad systems including the Atcbison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the St Louis & San Francisco and the Chicago, Bock Island & Pacific re? ported . the completion of their new lines in Oklahoma in 1903, and, owing to the unset tiled times, did not begin any fresh work this year. Fake Advertising Schemes. Spartanbnrg merchants and other advertisers would do well to make a resolution wi h the first of the year to steer clear of all advertising schemes, no matter how novel or alluring. A score of good business men contribut? ed a few months ago upwards of $1, 200 to the wealth of a traveling person they bad never seen before and will never see again to get into a scheme .that was made to appear to be going to make them rich, but which turned out to be an absolute waste of money, doing nobody any good whatever. The $1,200 paid for this scheme might as well have been thrown away. The same thing might be said of many other forms of advertising, such as wall, dictionaries, programs, city directories, calendars, hotel registers, catalogues, and may others of like kind. It may be treading on * some? body's toes to say so, these are all utterly worthless and are an entire waste of money. Many Spartanbnrg business men have long ago cut out these schemes, but the past year has shown that there are still those whose very enterprise and energy make them victims of fake shemes operated solely for the benefit of their promot? ers. It may sound like blowing our own horn to say so, bnt there is really bat one form of advertising; news? paper advertising. This is rapidly being conceded by advertisers df all sorts and there is mora of it being .doa^.^tha?i;everhefo?e. ; Even . ttejcir cuses -tava-denided-ioc^^dowalgho* graphic-advertisng and'd?^?bre news? paper advertising. The advertisement in tbe newspaper, if the newspaper is one which is read, bits the spot every time the newspaper is issued. The newspaper is fresh with every issue and demands attention. No other form of advertising does.-Spartan? bnrg Journal. Boston Candor. Tbe Boston Post is of opinion that the Republican acheme to cut down the representation of Southern States in Congress will never be carried ont, for the reason that if it were applied to tbe South it would have to be applied equally to tbe North and that, in the opinion pf oar contemporary, would never do. With commendable frankness onr Boston contemporary says: "Right here in Massachusetts our suffrage laws disfranchise for illiter? acy as many as are excluded from the noils in Tennessee for the same reason, half as macy as in Arkansas, twice as many as in Florida, and almost as masy as in Louisiana and North Carolina. "If it is wicked down there, it is wicked np here. And unless a Repub? lican Congress is ready to wipe out one or two Massachusetts congress? men, it will not venture to rob the South of nineteen." It makes a difference whose ox is gored. Hard to Interview. In New York recently a reporter made several vam attempts to see J. Pierpont Morgan both at his office and at his residence. Fnally his op? portunity came. He was interviewing another financier and incidentally came into possession of the latter's card. He kept it. then going to Mor? gan's residence sent in his own card in company with that of the financier. The ruse was successful and he was fhown into Morgan's presence. When the reporter had stated his reason for the call the financier said: "Do you know, young ma'i, that at least ten reporters have tried to see me today with reference to this question? I have declined to see all of them." The reporter smiled and replied: "Yes, sir. I know that, for I was the whole ten." He got his interview. A Brute hi Missippi. Jackson, Miss.. Jan. 6.-Governor Vardaman, after an investigation of the whipping of Convict Howell by Sergeant Puckett, at the Rankin pen? itentiary, said: "The punishment in ilicted upon this unfortunate convict was fiendish and betokens a depravity which would disgrace the most aban ; doned criminal in the penitentiary." j The governor has employed counsel j to prosecute Puckett in the state j courts. Pucktt, whose tme as sergeant ; has expired, is very defiant and is not apprehesnive of conviction. SELL ?LL STATE LAUD, SINKING FUND COMMISSION AND ITS RECOMMENDATIONS. Secretary Gantt Submits a Report to Commission-Lot of Land Com? mission Tracts. Columbia, Jan . 7.-Secretary of State Gantt in his annual report to the sinking fund commission, which met today, recommended that the state sell all of the remaining tracts of land now owned by it and on which there1 is hardly any income. In the past few years the income from this source has dwindled rapidly and only $3,000 was taken in from sales and every? thing else in that department in 1904. Of this only $200 came from the rent of some of the land, when twenty years ago the income averaged $100 a day in harvest time. There are now 266 parcels, most of it in the lower part of the state, in this department, and if put up at public sale with due notice given in each county the state would be rid of what is now a nui? sance instead of a source of revenue. This land includes what is left of the notorious land commission, which was saddled on the state by the car? pet bagger government The follow? ing tracts now remain in the posses? sion of the state: Fifty-six acres in Greenwood county. Two hundred and forty acres in Charleston. Two hundred and forty acres in Col leton. Three hundred and sixty acres in Charleston? Two hundred and seven acres in Edgefield. , Two hundred and five acres in Georgetown. Six hundred acres in Newberry. Two hundred and six acres in Ker- ? shaw- t i Four hundred and twenty acres in , Williambsurg. One thousand six hundred acres in I Richland. The last named tract is near Hop? kins, and of this about 30 acres have been sold recently. REDUCTION ORDERED. Southeastern Tariff Assoication Takes Action. The Southeastern Tariff association baa inst issued a circular ordering a reduction in rates on residences, churches and barns in second class cities. The reduction affects Colum? bia and other towns in the state simi? larly situated, bat does not affect Charleston, which is ranked first class. As a result of the r?duction, which ?oes into effect at once, it is expected that rates wiil be affected to the amount of about ten per cent, when considered as a basia. The letter states that mercantile rates will also be considered at once and that a re? duction will be ordered for them aa soon as possible. The letter has been the general subject of discussion in insurance circles since it was issued and there is an impression that the action was taken at once on account of the recent agitation in regard to in? creased rates. The comptroller general since re? ceiving a complaint some time ago stating that the rates have gone np since the Southeastern Tariff asocia tion reentered the state, has sent ont circular letters to all agents and busi? ness men asking for information and has received hundreds of replies. Many of the replies show that as a oasis! the rates have been reduced, but that there are certain points now considered in writing a risk that were not considered by the agents before. He has not been as yet officially noti? fied cf tho reduction, but the corres? pondence in regard to increased rates obtained by him from the merchants and others will be laid before the legislature. Whether that body takes any action on the information or not remains to bseen.--Columbia E eco rd. The San Francisco police arrested the other day three men and three women in what they said was a shop? lifting school. It had counters and shelves, and the women were being taught to steal. A large amount of goods stolen from department stores were recovered. There is a touch of grotesque in the statement from St. Petersburg that the Russians are not to begin active hostilities because "with the ther- j mometer at zero it is impossible to be- j gin a large movement without the risk of appalling horrors." It would be dif- ! fiult to improve on the horrors of j what has been going on in Manchuria, and it cannot be supposed that the campaign is regulated on their side by humanitarian scruples. J. P. Morgan gives away almost as much money in the course of a year as any of our other great philanthropists, but does not like to have his charity known. Ten big charitable institutions in New York by him, but none bears his name. His greatest charity is keeping young boys off the street by getting them work.

Mortgage to Be Cancelled on Home of Farmer Who Loses Both ArmsG Firing a Camion. ? - j* Bennettsville, Jan. 6.-The late Col. I C. S. McCall's will has been probated. The executors are D. D. McColI, Sr.. j A. G. Sinclair, T. E. McCall and C. S. j McCall, Jr. ' He gives to Thornwell Orphange five thousand dollars; to his sister, Mrs. Kate Newton, $20,000; to each of his other sisters, Mrs. Jennett Pate,, Mrs. Sallie Edens and Mrs. Pocahuntas Ro? per, $10,000; to his brother John, $5,000 and 54 shares in bank of Marl? boro; to his nephews, C. S. McCall, Jr., T. E. McCall and J. L. McCall, each a fine plantation; to each of his other nephews and nieces, $1,000; to T. E. McCall $5,000; to his cousin, A. G. Sinclair, $5,000; to William BowTer, the mortgage held on Bower's place. The will provides that a monument, to cost not over $5,000, shall be erect? ed to the grave of the testator. Debts are to be paid from insurance and bal? ance of property is to be divided among brothers and sisters. The bal? ance will probably be about $300,000. The item canceling the mortgage on William Bower's place recalls a tragic event of a quarter of a cen? tury ago. In 1880 Col. McCall, then state senator and county chairman of the democracy, had a cannon brought to Bennettsville to be fired in celebra? tion of Democratic victory. His broth? er and Mr. Bowyer were assisting in the firing. The cannon had been fired sev? eral times and Messrs. McCall and Bowyer were reloading, Bowyer had both hands and McCall one on the ramrod, when the powder exploded. Both of Bowyer's hands and one of McCall's were jerked completely off and carried a hundred yards. The ramrod has never yet been found. It is supposed that it is buried in Crook? ed creek. This accident was a great shock to Col. McCall. He bought a plantation for Bowyer, who was a poor man, and took a mortgage on it. The place has given him and his family a living since then. The mortgage has never been paid, but is cancelled by Col. McCall's will.-News and Courier. BIG SAVAL REVIEW. Combined North Atlantic Squadrons Assembling in Hampton Roads. Washington, July 7.-An interesting naval spectacle of an unusual charac? ter will be afforded next Monday In Hampton Roads when Secretary of the Navy Morton and Admiral Dewey and staff will review the combined North Atlantic squadrons.

The combined squadrons will be under the command of Rear Admiral Barker, one of the best of? ficers in the naval service. He Was From Boston. Be leaned against the news stand of the Fifth Avenue hotel and stroked his gray beard as he watched the clerk handing out copies of the current number of a popular magazine as rapidly as possible, says the New York World. "What are the people buying that book for?" he asked. "Ob, it's got a long piece in it about Lawson," replied the clerk, sifting out another magazine. "Lawson? Who's Lawson9*" asked the stranger. "W-e-1-1, say, are you kidding?" and the clerk leaned over in amuse? ment. 'No," declared the stranger. "Who is he?" . "Oh, he ain't anybody but Tom Lawson, and he's just paralyzing thas Standard Oil bunch. Say, uncle, did yoa ever hear of Cassie Chadwick?'* "No, I never heard of him, either," The clerk gasped. "Say, are there any newspapers in your town?" "Certainly," replied the stranger indignantly. "Well, where do you live-in Cheyenne" "No, sir," said the stranger, mov? ing away, "I'm a resident of Boston."

For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re? peated attacks of indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus? ing the glands to secrete mucin instead cf the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Care relieves all inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a sense of fullness after eating, indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.
