SsPrinters' Ink"

We have been q reader Of this publication
for several months. 1t is issued by Geo. +.
Powell & Co., and claims to be printed in the
interest OF newspapers and newspaper adver-
tisers.
In our opinion its distinguishing feature Is
the persistent and continued effort to bring
the country press into public disrespect, and
the efforts which that paper makes TO dispar'
age the value of country newspapers as an
advertising medium, together with the prices
which they offer, all against the country
press.
For some time the Press and Banner has
adopted the plan ofcxcluding all patent med
icine advertising, and more recently we nave
concluded to accept no advertisements lroH'
advertising agency-though to this last r"le'
we reserve the right to make exceptions IN
special cases.
Our experience has been, that we cannot
consistently give any advertiser undue pref
erence in the matter of position.
In the case Of other acceptable foreign ad-
vertisements, 1t is seldom that price Is Of
fered which Is sufficient to warrant the
trouble of proving the claim and complying
with all the conditions, while their payments
have often been unsatisfactory.
The swlndlers who propose to cure incur
able diseases with their nostrums can get no
space in these columns at any price.
Our experience has been such as TO coh-
vince us OF the inadvisability OF taking tor-
eign advertisements, and hence very few OF
such contracts are entered into by us. For
eign advertisers, with their ugly cuts, dis
courage home advertisers.
II the local or editorial endorsement OF
medicines, about which the editor knows no
good, are excluded and good reading matter
is put in the place, the circulation OF the pa
nor will increase, and increased circulation
a,,yays increases the advertising patronage.
both as to amount Of pay and amount Of pa-
tronage.
Leaving out the convictions Of right and
wrong, we believe rs q matter OF fact' that
this newspaper has realized great benent py
excluding advertisements of disreputablc
medicines.
If the plan of refusing foreign advertising
,sodopted no printer need care for the mis-
concentrations Of Rowell's Directory. and
whether.he takes foreign advertisements or
not. no printer need go to the expense OF al
vertising for custom which Is worth nothing,
If secured.
Wedo not care what report Rowelrs Direc-
tory NAV give OF our circulation. The fact ls'
in reply TO one of their notes in which pre-
paid envelope was sent, we told them TO make
our circulation to suit themselves. Ihey are
perfectly welcome to set us down rs haVihG
no circulation al all, if it suits their purpose
better.

No More Running About With Pris'
OnerS.


Governor Tillman ordered the slayer OF
Mayor Henneman to be sent back toSpartan.
burg.
If there is one thing more represenhensi
than another, it is q sheriff dodSing about
with prisoner to save him from the hands
of the mob. A little selfasserton, ana
fearless discharge OF duty on the part OF MS
custodian is the prisoners best safe guard
The mob will not likely attack jail where
the jailer Is known to be man who VIII dis
charge his duty.
The Legislature ought to enact law re-
quiring the Governor to declare the office OF
any sheriff vacant who allows prisoner to
be lynched.
Running about from place TO place, to save
a prisoner, is reflection on the good name
of the State, and the Governor did right In
sending the negro back to Sparlanburg. II
the sheriff discharges his duty his prisoner
willnot be lynched.
There need be no fear that the jury will fall
to convict him on proper testimony in the
Courts. 1t is the duty of the juries and the
judges to pass upon the case, and although
the negro may deserve instant death, the
good name of the State requires that he be
executed under the forms OF law.

What Should We DO?

We are in receipt OF a request to publish
certain matters of interest to corporation In

ed the information that the sender does not
wish to pay anything for 1t.
The article in question is on the border
line, and we are hardly able to decide wheth-
er 1T is properly reading or advertising mat

willing to pay anything, we do not think we
are justified in incurrng the expense OF set.
