Editorial in Press and Banner, July 90.
Agents and Gullible
NcWSDRpers.

Asa rule, the newspapers are always gener-
Gus towards schools and colleges. We believe
that they seldom deny any Reasonable request
for the publication OF notices Of educational
institutions.
Not satisfied with the former generosity on
the part of the newspapers, some OF these ip-
stltutionS are forming combinations with al
legged newspaper advertising agents for the
purpose OF still further beating the printers,
and putting money in the pockets oil middle
men.
For instance: Some time ago Prof. D. B
Johnson anu Mr.. Roswell 4. Logan entered
into a combination Of this sort whereby Mr..
Logan would make u liberal commission by
handling the advertisement which Mr.. john
son viri uully admitted his iucOmpetenry TO
manage, or furnished proof OF his lack Of a
willingness 10 do the necessary work IN send
Training Schno. This advertisement was or
tered to the Press and Banner at half price
and was promptly declined. The matter be-
ing mentioned before the Press Association
last week, IL dropped out that other newspa-
pers had been made the same offer, and the
money had been returned.
Now. we will ask Prof. Johnson and Mr..
Roswell T. Logan what became Of the money
we are under the impression that Mr.. John
son paid 10 Mr.. Logan public money which
has not yet been expended.
Let Mr.. Logan and Prof johnson give, If
they have acted right, An itemized statement
OF this hidden affair,
a little broad open daylight on this little
transaction would no dOn0t Do refresnlng.
Last week Mr. Roswell T, Logan sent US the
Citadel advertisement, with instructions 10
charge him Is. less 25 per cent, TO get that
advertisement In five inches. IT would be set
in nonpareiI, as solid as brick. We general
~ gave 1t a good heading and charged for II
IS.
Mr.. Logan can't come his agency game on
the Press and Banner. If he represent ted
himself as our agent. he did an unauthorized
act. as we now employ no agents, and allow
no. ne any agents commission.
The Press and Banner can live without
either the advertisements OF the Winthrop
Trimming School or the Citadel, and if they ap-
pear In these columns they will do so At full
rates, except In cases where we may be will
ing to make concessions 10 the institutions
themselves.
Mr.. Logan may go to the principals of these
institutions and have their orders 10 this
newspaper stopped, but we make this public
announcement that Roswell 4. Logan is not
authorized 10 act as agent for the Press and
Banner. He can get no advertisement insert
ed la this paper except at regular rates and
If advertisers choose to hire him TO do their
work, he is their agent and not ours.
We feel that We are fully competent TO at
tend 10 our own business, whatever the Win
throp Train ing School may think Of It's own
ability to attend to small matters and how
ever willing the Citadel Academy may he to
divert Il little money into the pockets OF heir
nelghbor IN Charleston.

Logan had with the newspapers or what com.
mission he charged. We took IL for granted
that he. the duly accredited State advertising
agent, worked harmoniously with the news.
papers Of the State. and, that, by special agree
ment he was given special rates.
But however that may be, 1t was the duty ol
those in charge or the Winthrop College, Ia
work for It's interests and to make the money
appropriated by the State 60 as far as posi-.
bic.
If we could have secured the same advertis'

should be glad II more money could be ap-
prOpriated for advertising the Winthrop Col
lege. in order that we might advertise In all
Of the county newspapers and for longer
time in each, but Is barely possible at presen {,
10 get even one hundred dollars for this pur-
pose.
We have on file Mr.. Logan's contract and
receipt for the hundred dollars and am sure
that, II, for any cause he has IA lied to carry

portion Of the money unexpended. l have

Experie ice has ShoEn that this same adver-

the same amount of money: Therefore, IN
ihe interest Of the State and the Winthrop
