Mr.. E. E,ditor.-Dear Sir-I should have

made unceasing efforts, with bu, little pro-
fit. II do sincerely pity you and your edi-
torial Brotherhood; ofallthe men, that are
imposed on. ii is editors Of newspapers /;
mo wonder they are. poor, and often fail in
sbusiness, IL wonder. they hold on as long
sas theysdo. You have been for years ad-
yancins money for paper, and;press, and
printers, nd9meaGs to serve the public,
! and hundreds of this money you will never
get back some debtors are dead-others
broke--olhers removed far ava y,---and

borrow the money and pay itnp,s he did so.
Il sqneased his hand in parting, and said in
my heart as walked on; loue honest

if l had voice 10 reach all your default
ing subscribers, would d.tteilA lhent what
/ this poorman did, would say, pay your
editors, and sus,ainst the dignity and power
sofihe Press, and save yourselves from
shame and repioach. The Bible says
s.. Owe no man any thing" The debts
due editors are all ANAL items--bu, they
are just claims, aud mon should pay them
promptly. Jesus says he that Is unjust
s in that ,ohich Is least is unjust also in much.
Had 1 time and liberty, would like to say
something ro3meet the eye Of subscribers

Look out for your Eggs, Chickens, &C.,

place IN our columns, as we have long

4 Mr.. Eator.-As there appears to be
but iillle news at this time, you will in-
;idulge me wh!stsI attempt to expose some
Sofths ills which the good people Of Edge
field District are heirs to. Ii, is known that
here are several Pedars, both white and
black, going through the District buying
up Poultry, Eggs, sc. Well says one,
what harm ID that, say none, if they
are GOT honestly. aud paid for in open day
Time, but tits thought they are frequently

.. III is certain, thai stealing of a high or.
Sdersis carried on by negroes, and it is also
certain that they must have places Of depo-
: s;te. where the stolen goods are received,
and paid for, by organized dealers, either
white or black. III is known that there are
Hundreds of chickens taken out Of the Dis.
trict daily, and complaints are in the
