plant any corn. What to do with
the hogs was question, with no
corn to feed them on and a big
crop of hogs to feed. They con
cluded that it would be better to
take what they could get for their
pork products then, than to run
chances for a higher price, The
consequence was that there was a
very free movement in pork last
summer in home and to foreign
markets owning to Jerry Rusk's
successful management of agri-
cultural affairs, all Of which left a
slim home contingent.

We used occasionally to hear
during the last few years the voice
of the gentle chump VINO argued
that our climate was changing
gradually growing warmer-and he
had nice little theory or two upon
which to predicate the faith that
was in him. If one of these gentle
men will kindly come to the front
right now, there is a number of peo-
Pile with frostbites an various ex.
posed protuberances who would
like to argue the point with him.
THE latest post-office ruling is
that the writer has the right to re-
claim and regain possession of the
letter providing he can prove to the
satisfaction of the post master at
the office from which it was sent
that he was the writer of it. Even
after the letter has arrived at its
destination, and before tits delivered
to whom it is addressed, it may be
recalled by the writer by the tele-
gram through the mailing office.
Tho reason assigned is that the
United States is only the agent of
the writer while the letter is in
transit.
THE Darlington Journal is pub
fishing the names of some subsorib-
ers who refused to pay for that
paper and ordered it discon tinued !
when asked to pay up. A man who
is so contemptibly small that he
will simply have his paper marked
"refused" when he is in arrears and
has been asked to pay for it, and
will make no effort to do 40, is prob
ably deserving of some such treat.
m ent, thus letting the general public
know what kind Of man he is
one whom all business men should !
refuse credit. OF course this treat
ment is severe, but it is very aggra-
waiting to newspaper publisher to
haze the paper refused without even
so much as "thank you" and when
he is entitled to pay that he has
honestly and strictly earned. The
publisher of the TRIBUNE takes no
exceptions to individuals stopping |
the paper, as they have perfect
right to do 80, but they should pay |
up all arrears. If by mistake we
should continue sending the TRBUE |
to man after he has settled and |
ordered it stopped, no charge is
made, even though he continues
receiving it, and we believe all pub
fishers should do the same. The |
su bscriber knows whether he wants
the paper or not; it is purely a |
business transaction. The news
paper men Of the country have un-
questiouably fallen into repute by
the wrangles and indecencies over
the right Of the individual to order
and stop paper at his own option;
and the TRIBUNE wishes it TO be
distinctly understood, and for all
time, under its present management,
that our subscribers will receive the
same courtesy when the time comes
for them to discontinue the paper,
that they received when first order |
