Apologize.


ning-it is writing On apology to our subscri- |
bers; and only in an extreme case, when we felt |
IT duo to our readers we'll as ourself would
we do so. The past month has been one of
great annoyance to us, and our patience has
been sorely tried. In the course Of more than
thirty years Of editorial life we have Gever met
With 80 many difficulties and unforeseen obstruc-
tions in issuing our. paper. and delivering 1t to
subscsiSers- NssasallY. We heer great COM
Plaint, ,iand we are not surprised at it. Persons
who subscribe for paper expect to receive it
regularly at the appointed time. and when it
does not arrive they are disappointed and must
grumblc.
OF course no one expected us to issue paper
Christmas week, when everybody claims holi-
day-printers included-bat twas natural that
everybody should expect paper tho week af.
terwards. In this our subscribers were disap-
pointed, not from any earthly cause, but in con-
sequence of the snow-stSrn which prevented
the Railroad from bringing freight, of any kind,
to this place for two weeks, and our paper laid
ut the Spartanburg depot the whole of that time.
1t arrived there q week before we needed it, but
did not get here uatil week after our first pa
will be seen, it was no fault of ours that the
TIMES was not issued that week.
$ Our paper Of tle 18th was issued and mailed
.a--~e-A.A .Assss-si----A--nat- -receiYcd we can-
not tell the reason.
Last Ihursdaywe did not send the papers to |
the Postofice until later hour than usual; but
that would not have prevented their being mail |
ed had not our Post Master been taken quite
sick that nightaad unable to give his personal |
attention to deivcringahc mails 10 the Mail ri
ders the next morning. We.take occasion here
to state that Mr.. Cess, the Post Mastts, has sti
ways been'very accommodating TO As, Fre- |
quently it has been impossible for US to get bur
papers to the Postofiice until long after thssofe
fee was closed, but Mr.. Goss has been kind |
enough to put himself to the inconvenience of |
being at the office carly enough the next cmqri- |
ing to maitland send them forward. Had he
been able, lie x6uld have done so last Week, but |
the young man who delivered the iail bags |
knew nothing about the Offices on thdy different |
routes, and II he had known, not having the !
kay he.ooqSr no.-,.srs-ssdAlI.s AlI.aaa&c in.
pouches, consequently they were left in tho S2st
fee and viii be sent by this mail. ~
We regret these failures moro than any Sne
