HOW TT WORKS. ;.

The generous papers connected with
the Associated Press in this clyde
serving our thanks in this and in other
matters-refused to allow the DEMOCRAT
to participate with them In the dis
patches. Its readers were thus denied
any news that may be derived from such
a source. Why they refused our appli-
cation can only be explained on grounds
too mean and narrow to be aseribed to
themb or from the poor jealousy OF a
new paper, n rival for the favor of the
nlblic, which regards the earliest and
fullest Geographic news as the life of a
newspaper, a habit at least OF our people
nowadays. We repeat, the DEMOCRAT
was deliberately refused its respectful
and very reasonable request; but not
In the least daunted by this I'M
expected rebuff, the DEMOCRAT at once
perfected an arrangement with the
Southern and Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany to furnish special news for each
daily edition, and this, with Wash
9ngton correspondent always ready ON
the spot to send us special letters and
dispatches, has resulted so we'll, that
the DEMOCRAT has now the decided ad.
vantage In its telegraphic columns over
Its contemporaries. Our Geographic
columns contain not only the substance
OF all the current political news trans
mitted by the Associated Press to the
