TO CLUBS.

A word to those of our subscribers who have hith-

We have put an end to the clubs upon our subscrip-

therefore regard tho step having reference to 1t

newsparcr, of our dimensions and with our east Of
Typography, is richly worth the full prico OF " per
annun,. ALL who know tho cost of such publlca-
ton, will admit this to be true. In club OF ten, as
heretofore allowed by us, We lose flee dollars from
our legitimate and fair profits. Carry the operation
out, through our entire list of subscribers, and We
would be loser to the extent Of $1,000 The printer
would losc this handsome amount from his righteous
earnings, and each subscriber would gain by it but
the little sum of so cens Now, we ask most respect
fully is this in NTH the good principle
Of olive and let live?"
If our paper were not large and well-printed one
two say nothing Of its general respectability)-f it
were not fully up to the mark among publications OF
its gradeif it not worth every cent of the price
VIC require wo should not object to taking less, not
only from clubs, but from individual subscribers.
But upon fair and full casting up of accounts, We
have decided that We cannot furnish the Aduertiscr
to any Saving in an occasional case Of charity at
less than So per AMMAN. We YPan to say, we cannot
do 80 for less, and pay ourselves properly.
This explanation is intended for few of our sub

what We cay, and return to our reading fold again at
an carly day. We do not wish to part company with
any of our frends.-It is satisfaction to know that
out of number of clubs, only portion Of two have
withdrawn their names on account Of the change.
But even had oil the clubs deserted u.s. it would have
had no effect upon eur determination in the matter

It is proposed to petition the Post Office Depart.
ment for the establishment Of daily mail-route be-
tween Augusta, Ga, and Edssaed, S. c. OF the sue.
cess of the petition thero should be doubt. It is
a crying want on the part Of intelligent portion OF
the people, and should bo arranged without hesitation
or delay by the "powers that be" at Washington
City.
Elscfeld is Of the largest, westhiest and most
popuous districts in South Carolina. Her people arc
reading people; in politics they are sound and re-
liable; and wo doubt il another community, South or
North, has any higher regard for Mr.. BUCHANAN s
Administration. Thoy are also progressive people,
and feel now the imperous need Of more neNsfacii-
ties, light. At present thoy have but tri-week
ly mail route through the contrs Of the district,
aud two or three weekly horso-msils. Thcse limited
means Of intelligence less, much less thsn their
due. A daily msil-coaeh route, from Augusta, Ga,
vie Edgefsld c. L., to '96 Depot on the Groenville
aud Colunbis Rail Road, is now necessity for the
District ut largo. To repdsr the arrangement fully
effective, the horse mails shoua DO made at least tr-
weekly. In this way, the people Of Edgefeld would
bs placed upon equality With the other important
districts Of South Carolina, in respect to mail fac-
ties. Az things now stand, they arc behind all the
rest We trust the petition will be strongly put and
generally signed and We hope tho Department will,
without scrupe and at oncc, grant tho prayer Of thc
respectful petitioners. 1t is very certain, that our
people need the proposed acoomodaton and We think
we may safely soy that they deserve it at the hands
Of the government
We trust Our energetic Representative in Congress
will exert his wellkuown influence to this de-
sidsratlrn to his immediate constituents. It is the
request of legion of thsm that he will surely do so
We know there can be no failure in the application, if
backed by his hearty support.
