SERIOUS CoNFLAGRATIoN.-We learn from
the Charleston Neps that fire occurred in
the Kingstree Jail few nights ago, which
consumed the whole building and caused a
considerable loss of life. Twenty-Five freed
men are supposed to have perished in the
flames. The fire originated in the cell Of
one Of the prisoner, and before assistance
could be procured, the building was wrapped
in flames. In consequences Of the absence of
all facilities, and the Jail being in compsra-
lively isolated position, the efforts to save the
property were futile

The Rabbit on the Wall.

The cottage. work is over,
The evening meal is dono;
Hark through the starlight stiffness
You hear the river run.
Then speak out, one and all
"Comc, father, make for johnny
The rabbit on the wall"

They gather round his chair;
"Now, grandma, you hold Johnny
Don't let the candle flare"
So, speaking, from his fingers
He threw shadow tall,
That seemed 8 moment after
A rabbit on the wall.
The children shout with laughter,
The uproar louder grows;
Even grandma cbuckles family,
And Johnny chirps and crows.
There no'cr was gilded painting,
Hung upin lofty hall,
Gave half the simple pleasure
OF this rabbit on the wall.

2. If the paper agrees with your


way of thinking subscribe andpay
for it, and persuade your neighbors
of the same mind to go and do
likewise. Do not tell the editor
to serd you the paper, without
payin. md when, you owe two
or three dollars tell your friends
who speaks Of it, that,it will burst
mp one of these days. The way,
under such a stile Of the case, to
keep a paper from "bursting up"
is for each subscriber to keep the
editors books free from charges
against himself. Once we had to
close, and on posting up, found
that we had booked. and outstand-
ing some $500 more than we had
capital invested. This thing Of
applying the credit system to the
newspaper business may be liken-
ed to a farmer selling out his crop
a bushel to the man. The sum
each man owes for q bushel does
not seem of any account to the
debtor, but the aggregate of these
bushels may make or break poor
delivers in the soil. ~
g.. If you have father, mother,
brother, sister or friend of, any
kind residing at distance and
are able, subscribe, pay for, and
send them copy,
4. Ifyou have any printing you
wish done, do not "jew" the editor
down to starvation price, and
when he comes to make purchase
Of you spike on the tariff"
5. IF you have any advertising
or job work you wish Gone, take
it to your county paper except
perhaps you may wish to adver-
tise in more than one paper"
6. Do not run off to the city to
get your handbills, labels cards,
&C., printed, because, forsooth,
you can get a reduction Of a few
nents in price.-Support your own
as you wish to be supported. A
man who is always running away
from home with his business, lit
tie deserves the patronage Of the
community in which he lives and
as far as we are, concerned, such
will receive the "cold shoulder
Z. If:you have the control Of
any legal advertising, send it to
your friend. This kind of busi-
ness pays better than any other,
and the more you can send to the
editor of your paper, the better
tor him and it. In proportion to
the amount Of the receipts:of a pa
per, is an editor enabled to make it
useful, amusing and entertaining
to the community in which it is
published. -.
8. Do not expect much Of a pa
per when an editor is driven to
be his own compositor, proofrea-
der, pressman and "devil," and has
to run all over town every fore
noon in the vain search Of a "quar-
ter" to buy something for his
dinner. ~
9. Do not expect The editor to
make honorable mention of you or
your business every few weeks for
nothing. The space in a paper,
and a mans time, is worth some
thing, and every notice gives back
to the drawer of the recipient in
dollars and cents. An editor should
not be allowed to go hungry, bare.
back Or barefooted. They eat, drink
and wear just ike other people.
10. 'FFinally, my brethren" if
you wish to properly sustain your
county paper, to live the balance.
Of your days in peace with God
and man, and occupy a seat in
Paradise after death, practice the
Golden Rule.-E'Do unto others
as you would wish they would
unto you, under like circumstan-
! ces." ...~..s -
