DON'T PRINT IT.
Some Timely Remarks on an Oft-Re-
peated Request,

peated Request,
The city editor of newspaper nearly
every day is importuned to leave this piece
of news or that piece of news out of the pa
per, and duty to the public, as well as to
his paper, often requires him to refuse such
requests, while personally lie might like to
comply with them.
The Augusta Chronicle" has an editorial
on this subject which covers the whole
ground so well that it is here reproduced:
''rhe request to leave out news that con-
Germs US or our friends is as natural, per-
haps, as the desire to have all the news
printed about other folks for our entertain
ment and information. If it is about rs
or ours, leave it out; if it is about the other
| fellow, print it, seems to be the natural i'm
pulse of the human mind, and we always
fee, IL. We are making an entirely reason
able request when we ask the suppression
6f an item that concerns Us, even though
it be an entirely legitimate matter of news,
md one which we would expect to See IN
] the papers if it concerned anybody else.
But such requests are very embarrassing 6
to the newspaper man There is not an
unfortunate man or woman, who IS not an
outcast, but has friends ready to iutercede
for the suppression OF news concerning
them, and if the newspapers should accede
to all such requests the result would be
hat only about outcasts conld newspaper
publish anything except Of eulogistic
character.
"When it comes to eulogy and fattery.
however undeSerred and eXtravagant We
are willing to see that in print; and It IS
astonishing to see how much it takes to
satisfy Us. AS long as it is sunshine VIC
will say publish by all means, but when a
shadow comes our way; when We violate
law; when the aspect in which We Will ap-
pear before the public is not compli-
mentary, then at once We say: Keep 1t
ont of the papers.
This is human nature. But should
newspaper publisher accede to the re-
quest? Is he dealing fairly with those who
pay for the news? These are questions
that persons who request the suppression
I OF legitimate news items should consider
And here comes up the question, what IS
news: Here IS an answer to the question
that was made by a newspaper man, and
which is regarded as meritorlous:
News is anything that the general pub
lie ought to know
".News consists Of events that are either
very usual or very unusual.
News is the daily record of the human
race put into convenient form for the pub
lie.
"News is the panorama Of the world
every twenty.four hours in embryo.
News is whatever the public Will read
and pay for
.''News is anything from Jones arrival
in town to the fall of an empire
News is historical fact. 1t is what oc-
ours, not what is imagined.
''News is the truth concerning men,
nations and things. That is, truth con-
cerning them which is helpful, or pleasant,
or useful, or necessary for reader to
know. "-EX.

The Greenville "News" has jumped

The Greenville "News" has jumped
upon the lecture platform and with
out leave, cause, or provocatlon as
far as we are concerned, proceeds to
read certain Reform newspapers a
lecture on journalistic good manners.
The TINES is among the number that
has fallen under the News" dis
pleasure. Just when we gave cause
for such an outburst of scoldlng we
can not recall, and why we should be
classed among those that gave per-
sonal ofense We do not know. Ger
tainly the "News" cannot complain
of US on this score, as we make it a
rule never to bit unless hit at first.
There is no such thing as turning
the other cheek and if striking back
is to leave US out of the category OF
"Reform papers which are edited by
gentlemen, we can only say that We
agree with the "News" when it says,
s.A iackass cannot edit newspaper
forciblv," and we congratulate the
'News" en- the discovery Of the lack
of force in its editorials.

SayS There Are No Hard Times.
Editor MANNING TINES:

In vour issue of May 5. there is clip
ping from the Silver Knight Waterman
dealing with hard times for families, and
says I'VE appeal to every family in which
there are sons and daughters to inquire
the reason why there are not as good op-
portunites for the young people to marry
and live IN comfortable homes as there were
when the old people were young, and says
there must be some reason for it and fur
ther says: .Is it because the young peo-
pie have become worthless or is it because
:i..,eS are harder than they were?'
In answer will say, truthfully, neither
is the cause Il there are hard times,
every one who feels them is himself or
herself responsible FOR them. no one else.
Allow me here to say my memory carries
me back seyenty-hve years. and can say,
without fear of contradiction, that each
year times have been getting easier to
make comfortable living, caused by the
in science and improvement
OF all usefu! Implements that are labor saw
ing. When boy it would make NE sick
at heart to hear my old grandparents tell Of
their hardships and trials when they were
young and how much better they were

The Charleston "Sun" spoke OF
Captain D. J. Bradham as a Guber-
material possibility, and other news
papers are speaking of our dis
tinguished fellow-citizen for other
high positions. As far as his being a
Gubernatorial possibility is con-
celned, we are sure he would not
think Of allowing his name used in
that connection against Governor
EIlerbe, who is doing his duty with
out fear or favor, and we feel certain
that a second term will be given him
without any material opposition.
Captain Bradbam would fill any
position with credit, and we would
like very much to see him occupying
place on the State ticket as Secre-
tary of State.

Senator Tillman has wlitten a let
ter to Governor Ellerbe with refer
ence to the Dispensary scandal and
Agricultural Hall case and for some
reason the Governor declines to give
the letter out for publication, although
the Senator wrote it for publication.
We do not know what the letter says,
but we believe it is document which
will send cold cliIls down the backs
of some people in this State. We. will
not criticize Governor Ellerbe's
action in withholding the letter from
the public, and will assume for the
present, that it is for some wise pur-
pose.

Whenever Senator Tillman rises in

have been specializing in Sugar. Till
mans remarks were not at all rel

THE MOON TRAIL.

The moon trail shineth across the sea,
And stretcheth off to far countree
In the realms Of the old, romantic moon,
Where evening Is morning, and midnight
noon!
Then lovers away on the bright moon
trail,
Each happy two with tiny sail,
In silver waste with stars above,
And nothing to do but love and love.
The great kind moon, like a sphere Of
light,
Swings down to the rim of the sea each
night,
Finding ever some bark with a happy
crew,
Bringing all the world though 1t brings
but two.
Then lovers away on the bright moon
trail;
Soft breezes are signing to fill your sail;
There are stars beneath and stars above,
And nothing to do but love and love.
The moon trail lighteth the sea Of life
For lover and maiden, lover and wife,
And it's joy to sail down its shimmery way,
Just two together, forever and aye.
Then lovers away on the bright moon
trail;
Each happy twain with tiny SAIL
For there's naught so sweet in Heaven
above
Or the earth beneath, as to love and love.

Ingenious French BeGgar.

An ingenious French beggar named
Dumas, having hidden out of sight his
arms and legs, and having provided
himself with a letter from the mayor
of his arrondissemcnt recommending
him as a worthy object of charity, en-
joyed himself thoroughly among the
charitable persons of Paris. Bread
cakes, groceries, meat and money
were showered on him, and he farce
sumptuously. But certain grocer in
the Rue de Montreuli, finding Dumas
was becoming something of nuisance.
gave him in charge one day, and he was
brought before the judge. He resisted
violently the usual attempt to search
him, and not without reason, for on the
search being made there was found on
him nothing very nefarious, but mere
ly the ordinary complement of legs and
arms in proper working order. To send
a man to prison for having two legs
seemed unreasonable, but It had to be
done.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

What Marco Polo Did,

He was the first traveller to trace
a route across the whole length OF
Asia, says one of his biographers, "de-
scribing kingdom after kingdom that
he had seen with his own eyes" He
was the first traveller to explore the
deserts and the towering plains of Per-
sia, to reveal China with its mighty
rivers, its swarming population, and
it's huge cities and rich manufactures;
the first to visit and bring back ac-
counts of Thibet, Laos, Burmah, Siam,
Cochin China, Japan, the Indian Archi-
pelago, Ceylon, Farther India, and the
Andaman Islands; the first to give any
distinct account of the secluded Christ
ian empire of Abyssinia; the first to
speak even vaguely of Zanzibar, NADIA
gascar, and other regions in the myste-
rious south, and of Siberia and the Arc
tic ocean in the terrible and much
dreaded north. Although centuries
have passed since young Marco Polo
grew to mans estate while treading hi;
dangerous way among these distant
lands, we must still look back to his dis
coveries for much that we know about
these countries; for we have learned
nothing new of many of them since his
time.-Noah Brooks, in st. Nicholas.

the astonishing example of the Austri-

This lad was what we call prodigy.
He was the son of the bandmaster to
the archbishop of the city of Salzburg.
At four years of age-and you will ad-
init that is truly young-he played the
violin with the greatest ease, with an
expression really wonderful. He also
composed those old-fashioned dances,
so quaint and sweet, called minuets,
besides other simple pieces. At seven
he made a tour Of Europe, giving con-
certs, playing before kings and queens,
and surprising the whole musical world.
Then. when he was about IL, he began
to write operas. and so original and
delightful were these that he may be
said to have founded school or man
ner Of writing musical compositions of
dramatic nature. After having done
the work of two lifetimes, he died at the
early age Of 30.-Arthur Hoeber, in St.
Nicholas.

They-they seemed to me like tot

strong for them, and finally fill as she
ceased to speak. Searching Intellectual

sourcefulness, think-think what it Is

But the young man stood where he

that lit up his visitors wet eyes. 4
frown gathered on his brow.
Jennie he said, slowly, "are you
playing with me again?"
The swift anger that blazed up in her
face, reddening her cheeks, dried the
tears.
How dare you say such thing to

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passag-
es. 1t corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extraor-
dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress

den Fleece" tea. The tea you drink
should be
/. Pure.
2. Wholesome.
8. Pleasant.
4. Economical,
and Golden Fleece justly claims pre-
eminence on these grounds.
The manipulation Of tea is an art in
which the Chinaman excels, and in
many of the inferior kinds the quality
is infinitely deteriorated thus:
'"The dust of the leaf is mixed with
clay and manipulated into the form Of
the orninary leaf" This with the ap-
propiate term "lie" tea.
"Tea leaves which have already
been used are again manipulated and
rolled into shape.and sold as genuine
tea."
In buying and drinking Golden
Fleece tea you get perfection being
the result OF civilized labor and intel
ligence.
Golden fleece" is undoubtly the
best SOC tea in the market today. Are
you usingit? If not, try it the first
opportunity.
"Golden Fleece" is making friends
wherever it goes, and it is going siisssSo
new homes every day.
Golden Fleece" will take the place
of any Japan tea you ever drank, no
matter what the price you have been
paying.
|Golden Fleece" once Etried, always
Used.
We shall be glad to give you sample
Of Golden Fleece" feeling sure that
if you try it you will use no other. We
want this name "Golden Fleece" to
run in your mind from now until you
want tea again, so you will ask for
"Golden Fleece" Think of it when
you are sleeping tea, think of it when
you are pouring tea, think of it when
drinking tea, think of it when you
start to buy more tea, keep thinking
about it until you reach Bowlby &
Halls store, where you will find Gold
en- Fleece"
Yours truly,
