THE PAPERS DUTY.
The Voice Will Circulate It's Special
Edition Far and Wide.

When an enterprlsiDg AMI reputa-
BILE newspaper undertakes TO is. ue au
edition that has for its object the ad
vertisiDg Of the resources OF til,
county, the work does not end with
the printing OF it.
The edition may be printed on
fine quality Of paper, profusely illus
trated, and compiled 10 first class
style, but unless arrangements ar,
made to get it before readers, all this
goes for naught. To attain sure re-.
suits copies must be placed in the
hands CT responsible readers, and it
is here THE VOICE will do some good
work with its coming Agricultural
Industrial and Historical edition
Experience has shown that IL is
useless TO give large bundles Of copies
to our business men and expect thai
they will circulate them, for their
time is too valuable. Clearly 1t is the
duty OF the paper publishing the
edition To attend to this, for il is a,
Important as the printing. Copies Of
the special Industrial and Historical
edition will be placed in the hands OF
every voter In the county, and as the
work will be such as will insure its
being read, mailed to friends, or FLED
for reference, this plan of itself will
form a valuable Advertising medium
for the home merchant. Arrange.
ments have been made to circulate
thousands Of copies throughout the
eastern states by means OF our rail-
roads.
The edition will be big advertise
ment for Sumner county, and her
landowners and merchants, and we
express our appreciation Of the public
spirit shown 10 the ALMOST unanimous
support which is being accorded our
enterprise. Sumner county needs
more farmers and the special edition
of the VOICE, exceliDg, as it will,
anything OF the kind ever published
in this section, will advertise to
thousands our advantages, and bring
good results.

City Election.

Inc KepuDllcanS OF Wellington
are having quite a jar over the com
ing city election. As a rule the
VOICE has little to say about city
politics. A few observations at this
time will interest our readers.
The principal fight this spring is
over city attorney. The Republi.
can convention met last Friday and
settled the controversy in favor Of
W. M. Ready as against H. L.
Woods. Ready was classed as the
joint candidate and Woods as the
temperance apostle. The contest
was close, depending entirely upon
the seating Of one or the other of
contesting delegations from the third
ward.
The Ready men, championed by
that ancient and dishonorable knight
Of corruption and enemy of Woods,
Andy Richards, had held their pri-
mary half hour in advance of the
advertised hour for meeting, elected
their delegates and adjourned
Later the Woods forces convened as
per the official call and chose dele
gates.
When the convention met every.
thing depended upon gaining con.
troll of the temporary organization.
The temporary chairman would ap-
point the committee on credentials
which would pass upon the "merits"
OF the contest. As soon as the con-
yention was raped to order C. E.
Bright wildly gesticulating and
clamorlng for recognition, placed
A. A. Richards in nomination for
temporary chairman. Bright is
Richards hired man. G. E. Hitch.
cock nominated D. A. Espy.
A lively wrangle was INDUCED in
concerning the right of either the
contested or contesting delegations
to vote. As spokesman for the
Woods men, C. E. Elliott Chairman
OF the county committee) advocated
in a spirit of fairness that each of
the embryo delegates should have
halt vote until the committee on
credentials could determine the con.
troVerSy. This did not suit the
Ready men for they saw in it naught
but defeat of their deep-laid scheme.
1t was finally agreed to leave the
matter Of temporary organization to
the city central committee. The
committee proved, as was expected,
to be favorable to the gang and very
quickly recommended Richards for
chairman.
When it came time tor the ap-
pointment Of committees Richards
with great pomp and surprising(?)in-
nocence called for the delegate Gre
dentials in order that he might see
who were delegates and thus make
up his committees advisedly. As a
queer coincidence G) every man on

If evidence were needed of the
interest which our trade right. in
the East is attracting, the atten-
ton and wide publication of Sena-
tor McLsurin's letter to the
Spartanburg manufacturers is
sufficient. Most of the daily
papers, except those in South
Carolina, either published this
letter in whole or in part, and
many of the leading papers gave
it long editorial endorsement.
Senator Tillman's letter was
surprise in virtually endorsing
the position of Senator McLaurin,
and in explaining why he also dld
not vote for the ratification of the
Spanish treaty. Senator TiIIman
did not 20 as fully into the ques-
ti"n as did Senator McLaurin:
but taking both letters, the trade
question IN the East is presented
in new and cnticlug light. We
are reminded of three years ayo
when McLaurin made his tariff
speech in the house, and TilIman
followed the same limo in the
senate in fight for equality in
protection. Blinded by prejudice
and deluded by political senti-
mentalism, the people of this
state have been disposed, under
the tutelage of The News and
Courier and The State, to regard
the Philippine question as one of
political rather than commercial
Significance. Senator McLaurin'
letter was the first thing that
opened their eyes, and disclosed
the true commercial and industrial
interest involved. At this time,
in the face of public sentiment,
the outgrowth of a want of infor-
nation, it required boldness and
true craftsmanship to give publici>
ty to such views as Senator's Till
man and McLaurin have express
ed. A faithful representative,
however, should not alone aspire
to be the exponent of public sen
timent; but when satisfied that |
ignorance, or influences antagonIs>
tic to their true interests, the
people are mistaken, be should |
lead them Alright. We believe
that Senators McLaurin and Till
man are pushing in the right |
in this matter; but rea-
lizing, as we do, the powerful in
fluences that are working against |
them, and their own comparative
ly poor facilities for making their
positions thoroughly understood,
we believe that the task ahead of
them is one which, to say the least,
