rhn GREATEST DISCOVERY YET.

Chief says: I'VE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Expert
mented with many others, but never got
the true remedy until we used DR.. King S

idle to experiment with other remedies,

in it for tho newspapers. There arc
many other examples Of FREQ county
advertising which will Instantly sug.
gest themselves to newspaper mon.
On election years the county news
papers publish tho calls for tho State
and county Democratic conventions
and club meetings. They amount
to $40 or $50 worth of advertising.
The city newspapers get something
occasionally from the city political
organizations but the weekly news.
papers get nothing save in the rarest
instances. And yet it is advertising
nothing moro or less 1t is not
county advertising but if tho county
newspapers charged for it as they
have u perfect right to do, tho money
would come out Of tho pockets of
the white people of South Carolina.
The amount of free Official advertis-
ing that the weekly newspapers have
given the State and subordinate
democratic organizations in South
Carolina during the last twenty five
years, the same sort of advertising
that the larger newspapers in the
larger citios, like Charleston, are we'll
paid for, would probably foot up to
100000. But it is the Democratic
, economists in the South Carolina
Legislature who are necessarily on
their feet to stab the humble country
newspaper.
The only answer to these facts
that could be attempted is that the
free matter published is worth some
thing to the newspapers rs news and
that otherwise it would not be pub
lished That is true but it is not
pertinent to the argument. All ad-
vertising that is not in itself inde-
cent and offensive has value as news.
The announcements Of the grocer and

vertising would lack one of tho chief
attractions that lend newspapers in

ules have value rs news but the rail

WHAT PREsfDENr WlLBORN SAYS
ABOUT A CONVENTION.
No Provision Made for Calling Ono this
Month--Tbinks Organization Has
Done Good In Rsducing
....H Acreage. ....
Especial to Tho State.)

Rock Hill, Feb. 22.-In Saturday
mornings State there is u request
from the Newberry Herald and News
that the The State newspaper ask
President Wilborn "what has become
of tho State convention he was to
call in February and if he has aban,
doned the idea of trying to effect u
State organization? In other words
has he thrown up the sponge. OF
what has been doneY" The State
refers the question to President Viii,
born and your correspondent upon
interviewing him was told by Presi
dent Wilborn that the Newberry
Herald and News had things consid
erably mixed. He states in regard
to the calling of State convention
in February, that thore was no pro.
vision made for the calling of such
convention and that he had previous
to this received no suggestion as to
doing so; he had regarded the or
ganization made in November, dur
ing the fair, rs the State organiza
ton. Pursuant to the suggestions
made at that meeting evory county
in the State had been requested to
call meetings and to effect county
aud township organizations; that
such action had boon taken in nearly
every county in the State and that
Newberry County had been among
the number doing 80; that the or
ganization is intact and is moving
along smoothly.
President Wllborn is by no means
discouraged with the present status,
and says that in the meetings Of the
different counties resolutions to re-
duce the acreage to 10 acres pei
plow had been passed and that the
farmers generally were signing such
agreements. He also states tha,
very much more small grain is being
sowod in the State than has been 70,
many years. He further authorized
me to say that while no provision
has been made for calling an earl.
spring meeting and considering th.
stringency Of tho times he had not
thought of doing SO, if it is the wish
Of the people Of the State he would
take pleasure in doing SO whenever
such disposition is made known to
him.

County Advertising.
Greenville News. I$SIs

TO cut the prices of county .advcr-
tis.ng has become one of the settled
habits Of the South Carolina Legisla-
turcs. Year CATER year, slegislators
who arc asssfamiliar with advertising
rates and other matters pertaining to
newspapers as they are with the
origin of the Greek alphabet, pass
laws and spout speeches on tho sub
ject of advertising rates. With the
exception Of two or three printers,
not legislator can toll the differ,
ence between an I'm" quad and an
ink fountain but they take the floor
and "tell it all" just the same.
TO the States newspapers, the
county advertising amounts to some,
thing although it has long since
ceased to net them large sum in
cash. In many counties the adver-
Using is done by at least two papers
for one prico and the profit for each
is not colossal.
The Legislators, should, we think,
deal VITA the public advertising pre-
cisely as does John Wannamaker or
any other intelligent merchant with
his advertising. They should buy
the advertising space that they need,
pay fair price for it and stop howl
ing.
In our opinion, the newspapers in
this State demand too little. They
do entirely too much free work.
They are constantly filing them

men, who constantly look after the'com-

A PLEASING CONCERT.
The Miles Shaw Barney Concert Delights a

hall. Thursday evening, to listen TO the
harmony SET forth by those who par
ticipated in the Miles. Shaw, Barney

Prof w. II. Chapman, We're delighted
with the musical treat given them.
The music was excellent, ana the
patriotic part of the programme 50
delightfully."- original and petty. that
everyone was boiling over with patriot
ism, and the applause was deafening.
The concert was certainly a success
from d musical standpoint. and it must
have been financially, for there was q
very large representative audience pre-
sent, and the few vacant chairs We're
scattered about in such a way that
showed the seats had been sold, bat
the owners could not he present.
The kennebec Valley Choral Union
was at it's best, and its songs We're
given with a zest and vigor that made
them refreshing.
Director Chapman was obliged to be
seated during the numbers, on account
Of his illness. but at times he would be
come 50 intent upon his work that he
would forget his chair and rise to his
feet.

Flames OF Patriotism Consumes a Bangor
Boys Overcoat.

The fierce flame Of patriotism which
was consuming the breast of a 16-year-
old Bangor boy. burned itself out in
TINS city, Tuesday night, where he was
found by his mother and the police at
Ter he had pawned his overcoat, using
| the proceeds to buy ticket to this
ci'v' IN order that he might show
Lieut.. Hubbard, who has charge OF the
recruiting office, that he was willing to
drink the greasy Chickamauga water.
When the morning Pullman arrived
! IN this city it brought with it Il boy
who had celebrated his 10Th birthday
anniversary. That night he hung
around the city for some time and
anxiously waited till morning should
come. When morning came he wore
great paths in the bricks in front of the
Allen building where the recruiting Of
fee is located, waiting for Lieut. Hub
bard and his aids to put in an APP
pearance
After the 8 o'clock train had pulled
into the station and the crowd had
stepped back to make a passageway
for the officer in charge, he was one of
the first to present himself at the desk
at which Private Clark was seated.
Your name?" inquired Lieut.. Hub
bard.
'Everard Small" was the answer.
Place of residence" again question
ed the officer.
Bangor" came the reply
Age" was the next question.
Sixteen" replied the boy in hcsitat-
inG tones.
Too young" was the response from
the officer that caused the BOYS lips
to culver from Disappointment while the
tears started in his eyes
The boy slowly wandered down the
street and by night was wondering
how he would be able to get home He
was relieved of this anxiety though
by one of the police officers who in
quirod his name. In further convcrsa-
tiCn it was learned that the boys
mother had wired to City Marshal
Morse to hold him and that the boy
had paWned his oVcrcoat to raise
money to pay for a ticket to this city.
He had left home without the knowl-
edge or consent Of his parents.
The boys mother arrived in this city,
yesteld day morning, and taking the boy
in her charge returned with him to
Bangor.
The events of the day at the recruit
ing office We're otherwise without par
ocular interest. During the day some
thing like Il dozen men called at the
office, making about % in all who have
expressed their desire to enlist. OF
these about dozen have been ac-
