The Daily N.ws-The Cash System.

When the price of The DAILY NEWS was re-
duced to six dollars year, We resolved 10 IN
sist upon the payment of subscriptions IN ad-
vance This rule was Immediately applied to
our mail subscribers, and at this time we have
not subscriber, outside of Charleston, who
has not paid in advance the price Of his sub
scription. We gave no credit, and the paper
was invariably stopped when the term 1or
which payment had been made expired. The
experience Of the past year has confirmed our
belief that the cash system is the only plan
ulon which paper can be conducted with
safety and success, and We have therefore de-
tcrmined to apply that system uniformly to our
subscribers in Charleston.
On the 18th instant, all papers for which the
subscription price has not been paid will be
stopped without further notice, and from that
date no paper will be delivered after the expi-
ration of the time for which payment has been
made.
In order to accommodate persons who may
be unprepared to pay the subscription in ad-
vance, we have made arrangements to deliver
THE NEWS within the city limits at fifteen cents
a week, instead of eighteen cents as heretofore,
payment to be made weekly. This reduction
of the weekly rates will 60 into effect on the
18th inst. Orders from weekly subscribers will
be received at this Office, or ut the bookstore

cotton footing in Germany and Switzerland,

ever, is tho head-centre. Thorc, tho great
difficulty is for the manufacturers there to
supply the demand. Ono establishment in
Paris employs two hundred and fifty worknen,
and turns out twelve u day, at q cost OF throo
hundred francs each. But the number OF
shops is increasing daily. 4 velocipcde, we'll

good order, and moderately steep, will mako

sixty miles day with less fatigue
than than he could walk twenty miles. Thls
would seem to bo contrary 10 tho
laws of physics. and contradict the axiom, that
what is glined in swittness is lost in force, and
vice versa. But it is not So. Different mus
clcs are brought into play, which, by their ac-
ton on the velocipede, produce greater results
than the same muscular cxortiOn would do IN
walking. The French havo investigated and
resolved the difference Inathematlcally, and 1t
must be SO. But the condition is lndispcnsa-
BILE that the machine should be well construct

road is uneven or muddy, you had better dis
