that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

PROPER CREDIT.

THE COMMONWEALTH YES not wish
to appear censorious of le brethren
of the press, but there is certainly too
much carelessness amongst the editors
of the State in the matter of giving
proper credit for clippings.
For instance, Mr.. w. C. Allen OF
Wilson recently contributed to the
Wilmington Messenger a thoughtful
and valuable article on 'Pirates OF
Carolina" A number of State papers
reproduced the article and simply said
"By w. C. Allen"
Now, such credit was equal to no
credit at all. It was matter that the
Messenger no doubt paid tor, and the
Messenger was, therefore, entitled to
the credit. And then the credit as
these exchanges gave it was an injustice
to the author.
An authors ability is reckoned &C.
cording to the class of journals or peri
odicals to which he contributes and to
be sure 1t speaks more for the ability
of writer for his articles to appear IN
the Messenger than if they had appear
ed at first in some village Enterprise,
or Times.
But these exchanges printed Mr..
Aliens article from the Messenger, Civ.
Ing credit "By w. c. Allen" as though
Mr.. Allen had written the article for
that particular paper first.
THE COMMONWEALTH reprinted the
article by Mr.. Allen because of its
merit, and we gave full credit to the
Messenger as first publisher, because it
was right.
The COMMONWEALTH has laid some
structures occasionally on the careless
ness of some editors in this matter of
credit and some of our brethren have
become little lrritated and have in
dulged in some little "slings" at us
but we take no notice OF their "slings."
We believe that inasmuch as the press
of the country is regarded as the proper
monitor for others In many things, it
ought itself to be very careful how it
deals with the property of other people.
One editor has no right to take the
productions of another and appropriate
them to his columns without giving
due credit for it. And when such is
done deliberately it is nothing less than
plagiarism, wither the plagiarist so re-
CARDS or not.
Brethren, let us be careful how wa
appropriate the work of another as our
own.
