one of the livliest and best pa
middle grounds in anything. In politics
its Democracy is so straight that it sal
most leans over q little" When speak
ing of RAIDS and their acts, that paper al
ways calls things by their proper m
Messrs. Bacon & Adams run this paper.
THE Orangcburg News and Times
would find ii advantageous to both pub
fishers and readers, if that paper was
printed IN Il patent outside, and the i'll
side set in smaller type.
TIE .Snmtcr Wutchmnn is an old and
honored paper, printed on Il patent out
side. The inside is made up Of local
matter and the general news Of the day.
The whole get-up Of the paper is good,
but would be improved if the inside was
set in smaller type.
| TIE Grccnv1lie Enterprise and Noun
tainccr is Il household word with the city
of Grcenvillc and the mountaineers. It
is printed inside and outside on small
plea. The paper is quite u readable one,
and tho press work is well done. Our
friend Eaily could publish as much nat
ter on 4 smaller sheet, If the matter was
set in small type, thus saving one-tourth
of his paper bill. The Enterprise has
been run by its present proprietor for
quarter Of a century.
THE iSp%artanJury Spartan is an excel
lent local paper, with correspondents
from various sections Of the county. The
editor Mr.. Fl. l.. Farley, ought to get
married. He could make some good
woman happy.
THE Sp%artanburg Herald IS a neat
specimen Of typography, md is edited
with ability. Tho locals arc spicy, and
numerous. Col. r. Stobo Farrow is a
genial gentlemen and good newspaper
man.
THE Union Times is q good county pa
per-the very best that county ever had.
1T is one of the choice papers in the State.
The editor, friend r. NJ. Stokes, likes to
associate with the dailics entirely. He
never condescends to read a little county
paper. lie will never sec this notice.
THE Pickens Sentinel comes 10 us from
the mountain heights Of the Blue Ridge.
This paper devotes some space to locals,
but keeps it's main eye on the current
matters of the State and the nation.
This paper is nicely printed on large
type. The publisher could give as much
reading matter on a smaller sheet and
save an item in paper bills these
hard times. The editor is D. +. Bradley,
a staunch Democratic representative in
the General Assembly from that county.
The Keouee Courier is a first rate
weekly from the head of tho Blue Ridge
Railroad, and besides much of local news
there is always in it a lot Of fresh matter
from all quarters Of the globe. We be-
adopting the patent outside, and setting
the inside in smaller type. Messrs.
Keith, Thomas Il Smith deserve credit
for their efforts at making a good paper.
OUR friend T. B. Crows, Esq, so we'll
known to the readers Of the Press and
Banner, runs that sterling old paper, the
LaurenSriUe Herald. He would find
the patent outside advantageous to
him, if he would print the inside in
small type and fill it with local and State
news. Good luck attend the Herald,
whether the editor adopts our suggestion
or not.
THE Merchant and Farmer at Marion
is al excellent paper, we'll edited and
neatly printed. 1t is printed on a patent
outside and no doubt popular with the
people of that county. 1t deserves a lib
cral support from the intelligent people
for whom it is printed. j. d. M. McLu-
cas- is the editor.
THE Marion Star is q home-printed pa
per, and is always filled with the cream
of the local and county news. The edi-
tor S. w. Morris, is a hard worker, and
| will no doubt meet with the greatest sue
cess in his business.
THE 1ikcn Courier Journd'.---This pa
| per is edited better than the printing is
done. If brother Mckay would invest
five dollars in a new roller it would be
vastly to his advantage. This journal is
always on the lookout for locals, and
never fails to have al interesting misccl-
lany of now from all sections.
THE Darlington Southerncr after a few
months of suspension from being burnt
out last January, is ont again as fresh
and as vigorous aS ever, II we are glad
to have it on our table. II this paper was
printed in q smaller typo, the size might
be reduced one column to the page.
This would be a great saving to the edit
or and no loss to the reader.
TIE HGnia is nov a morning paper
and gives latest Geographic and other
news. This paper gives much in a little
space. Mr.. j.. 4. Selby is an old hand al
the bellows and nobody knows better how
to make up a paper.
TIE GreenriUe Daily News is aspright-
lily little daily and now gives the latest
press dispatches. If the foreman or
somebody else about the office would give
appropriate headings TO the Geographic
news. this interesting feature of the paper
would be enhanced.
TIE Sumter True Southron is always a
readable paper, with a fair showing OF
locals every week. The editors generally
looks over their country exchanges as
well as his city dailies. Messrs. Darr q
Ostecn are excellent printers and full Of
energy. May they live long and prosper
IT'S always refreshing to get the Ncw.
berry Herald. It's attractive makeup o.
locals and general news makes this paper
one of the most welcome guests at oul
sanctum.
TIE anderson Intclligcnccr is one O
the largest papers in the State, and pub
fishes more matter than any weekly II
the State except the Press and Banner
1t always has editorials on the current
topics Of the day with a good %sprinkling
from country correspondents. The In
teligcncer is a superb paper, edited by
+. b. Murray, Esq, a rising young Law
yer of that town.
THE anderson Journal is always filled
with choice locals, and other interesting
matter, and is as neat as a pin. Edito
Todd is All energetic man and deserve
great SUCCESS. The Journal is a ypunt
paper but ranks high among its cgntem
poraries. -;
THE Pee Dee Waterman, at Oar Engton
by the Messrs. A. A. Gilbert andSfiF. A
Gilbert is an extra large paper and vel
gotten up in every way. The same
amount of reading matter however
might be published in a smallerparcr, ant
considerable money might be saved il
paper bills by reducing n column t.
the page. 1t is IN honor to Darlington
