News, While 1t Is News.
You printed the pension list too
soon, said Clerk Wylie to the reporter,
on Thursday. People are coming to
me every day for their money. and /
have not yet received my list from Co.
lumbia. That is a habit THE ENoU1-
RER has-this thing Of printing news
while it is news. Anybody can print
the list after Mr.. Wylie gets il or after
it has been printed in THE ENQUIRER.
No Decision Yet.
The supreme court has not yet an
nounced it's decision on the pension
question; but there is reason to believe
that the matterwill not be unnecessarily
delayed. Those entitled to pensions, of
course, understand that no money can
be paid until after the supreme court
has acted. We expect to get news of
the decision from our Columbia cor
respondent Immediately after the su-
preme court publishes the same, and
will, of course, give the news to our
readers at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.

Push Your Business.
Business men of this section who de-
sire to get better share of such buSi-
ness as is going, and who would help
create new business, should advertise
in THE ENQUIRER their claims to pa
nearly all of the people Of this section
who read any paper. 1t comes as near
finding it's way into the homes Of all
the people who read, as does all the
other local papers combined. People
look to it not only for the news; but
for all new developments in business,
and there are hundreds of people who
go further. If they fail to find news,
business or otherwise in THE ENoUI-
RER, they assume that it was because
there was nothing else that was really
worthy of publication. Years and
wears of observation have taught them
that in this assumption they are pretty
we'll warranted. 1t is not matter of
special difficulty for any reputable bus
mess man to have his business news
published in THE ENQUIRER. If he
has any information worth his while
to have the readers of this paper know,
it is only necessary for them to comply
with exactly the same conditions that
the business management requires of
all other patrons.
