BETTER WAIT AND SEE,

We would say to our brethren Of
the press that they should wait and
see II the nominee Of tho recent
Farmers convention is q sure enough
crank before they pitch in to him too
heavy. He has four months in which
he has the opportunity to prove him
self the man for the place or that he
is unfit. There is ample time for the
farmers and all other classes of our
citizens to learn if Mr.. Tillman is the
man we want for our next Governor,
and if he is not the man, the Demo
cratic convention in August will tell
him SO, and that in short order.
There is no room fer doubt that
Capt. Tillman thinks he is the man
that will best serve the interest of
the majority of our citizens. If 80,
let him prove it. He has opened the
campaign according to his own way
Of thinking, and now he can go be-
fore the country and try and capture
the August convention as he did the
one in March. If he is General
enough for that, then he will be our
next Governor; if not then adieu
to Ben Tillman in politics.
1t is not good policy to bclabor can
didates too heavy in the outset lest
they cry out persecution and gain the
sympathy of the masses and thus
carry their point.
There will not be but one ticket for
Governor after the coming State con
vention and that ticket will be headed
by q Democrat "tricd and true" and
he will not be the chosen favorite of
any ring or slate makers, but will be
chosen because he is fit for the place.
Does he sign his name B. r.. Ti!lman7
His nomination has evidently hurt
the movement it was intended to aid.
1t is now hitched to him, instead Of
him to it. Wait and sec.

THE TETHEVING EPIDEMIC.

Just now thoro is an epidemic Of
stealing in this country. Not week
goes by but what we get news of
some man holding position of trust
decomping with the funds entrust-
cd to his care. Cashiers, treasurers,
trusted clerks, and last but not least
are the county and State officers
They have caught tho disease. In
most cases they have it bad. Until
the courts begin to give these high
toned thieves heavier sentence they
will continue to go henco. When ono
of these migratory vulturos is caught
he should bo given lifesentonce in
the chain-gang, A few doses of this
kind would stop the contagion and
do away with embezzlement, other
wise it will continue. There are al
ways men to be found who will think
1t o good investment to skip with O
haIfmillion dollars, and, if caught,
serve from Two to five years in State
prison, keeping books, and when his
time is served. come forth q ricl
man. Give them a Iife-sentence ant
then it will not pay to steal. :

Newspaper Etiquette.


1t very frequently happens that
visitors to n printing Office do things
calculated to annoy some of the en-
ploycs. For the benefit of those we
print q few rules;
When you enter q printing Office
DO not handle type in a case. If you
want to handle it say so to the prin-
ter, and he will be glad to leave his
work and empty the type upon the
editors table, whore YOU can sit in
his easy chair and examine it at your
leisure. Never mind putting back
the type-the printer can do that
after you have finished.
Don't read the proof sheets, clip
pings, or manuscript. If you wish
to know what is going to appear in
the next issue of the paper ask the
editor to read it aloud to you. He
has plenty timo and will be grateful
to- you for the chance to quit his work
and entertain you.
If you want to look over tho
cash book have the editor 90 and
get it for you. Your interest will
please him.
Never ask for a sample copy. Dis
cover where they are kept and help
yourself to as many as you want.
Above all things do not offend the ed.
itor by rendering payment for them.
1t hatters him to think you want to
read it and it is cruel to end his sat
isfying daydrcam by the mention of
SO worldly thing as money. Besides
he only publishes it for the glory
there is in it.
just help yourself to the the ex-
changes. If any are still in their
wrappers take them out, by MI means.
They contain later news than the
others.
Before going, make some pleasant
remark to the editor about how easy
IL is to run paper and express your
surprise that he does not do it bet
ter. You would leave an aching void
i'll his heart should you forget others.
If you are interested in seeing
how things look in type, have the
printer set your namo in the incest
type i'll the Office, and then take it
home with You for curiosity. The
editor likes you to have memcnto of
him. Other peoples forgctfulness
is the bano Of his existence.
Ask the editor, if you arc a perfect
stranger to him, to supply yon with a
duplicate key to hls postoflica box,
SO you can get his papers regularly
If he be n gentleman he will give you
the key without asking; but some ed.
ltors are not gentlemen..-The Type
Founder.

The Nothern KSounSary LInc.

The boundary line between the
United State and Canada is not "im.
aginary," as most people suppose.
The line is distinctly marked from
Lake Michigan to Alaska by cairns,
iron pillars, earth mounds and tim.
Der clearings. There arc 1856 Of
these marks between tho Lake of the
Woods and the base of the Rocky
mount"ins. Tho Putish placed one
post every two miles and the United
States one between each British post.
These posts are of cast iron, and cast
on their faces are the words, "Con-
vention of London, Oct. 20, 1878

EcnrninG TO Think.

In vory-day life no fact is more no,
ticeable than the inability Of many
persons to do their own thinking,
even in matters and upon lines Who'll
ly within the range of their intclli-
gcncc. They will see point that is
suggested to them, and will at once
understand its bearing on some mat
ter i'll hand, but they do not seem
to have the faculty or art of raising
points for Themselves, and conse-
quently their action is not ns intelli-
gent as it might be. If given n rule
to work by, they will apply it not on
ly in season but out of season, and
will look amazed if one suggests that
under special circumstances they
should havo varied their usual pro
cod1ro. Every employer and over
seer Of labor knows to what an extent
this is the case It is tho exception
al workman who really thinks, and
who can therefore be trusted to suit
his action to circumstances. And so in
nearly every sphere Of life, kind Of
automatism seems to be the rule, and
intelligent selfdircction, in the light
of present facts, more or less the ex-
ception. One is, therefore, tempted
to ask whoather in connection with
our system Of education some gym
nastic might not be devised for the
special purpose of teaching the rising
generation to ink.--Popular Sci

Tho Second scotch-Irish connrera.

The second Scotch~Erish Congress.
The first Scotch-Irish Congress,
held at Columbia, Tennessee, last
May, resulted in the organization OF
the 'fScotch-Irish Society of Ameri,
ca" with Mr.. Robert Bonner, of Now
York, as President. The Second An
nual Congress of the race will be
held at Pittsburgh, Pa, May 29-3l
next.
The objects of the society are:
First, historical; second, social.
While the Scotch Irish were the first
to declare independents from Great
Britain, and have since been first in
all that has been most heroic and
patriotic in our national life, no his
tory Of them has ever been written.
The first object of the society is to
write this history, not only as an act
of justice to the fathers, but for the
purpose of educating the children in
the great principle and achievements
of the race. The data is being collect
cd through the members, and the
historical papers at the great Annual
Congresses.
"Thc Scotch Irish in America" has
recently been issued by the society,
and will be furnished by the Secre-
tary.
The second great object is the pro
motion of closer social relations among
members living in all parts Of the
country, by correspondence and by
personal association at it's State and
National gatherings, thereby bindin e
us together in the strong bonds Of
friendship.
The organization is entirely non
partisan and non-sectarian. With n
history and q membership intensely
American, the society will prove a
strong factor in upholding and per-
petutaing American institutions in
their purity. 1t has already enrolled
hundl eds of the leading mon of our
country, and is still advancing with
rapid strides.
All Scotch-Irish people are cordial.
ly invited to Pittsburgh, but as mem
bers will have special privileges, it is
hoped that all who attend will ioin
the society before the Congress.
Correspondence is earnestly solicited.

local arrangements should be nd

ciety proper, direct to

The temptations to lie about, dcfamc

to whom some other is preferred, are
many and strong. Yielding to such
temptations to crafty personal spleen
and prejudice have done much to in

eering properly conducted would have
a strong tendency to elevate the NOR

should be run on his own merits.
When one sues for the recovery of

strength of his own title. The weak

of his business or concern. So let
