Candidates and Their Cards.

Candidates sometimes raise the point
that the multiplication OF newspapers
has made the publishing of announce
ment cards a evere tax upon them.
Laurens county has five secular news
papers and the announcements in the
aggregate cost each candidate $3.50
II his name appears In each. Unques-
tionably, it is q severe tax, especially
upon q candidate for an Office which
pays a small salary. For example,
$500 Is about eight or ten per cent OF
legislators annual earnings. What
is to be done about 1t? Shall the
newspapers reduce the fees? They
will hardly consent to that. Three
dollars is a diminutive rate. A news.
paper must receive q reasonable price
for space or cease to exist, or at least
to exist respectfully. The remedy lies
with the candidates. We think that
they are wrong in regarding themselves
compelled to advertise In five papers.
In saying this we may be hurting our
w Interests because we profit by the
custom which, in this county, prevails
among almost all candidates to adver-
tise In all papers but we do not wish
any candidate to imagine that he is
forced to advertise In this paper.
When a candidate places his name in
n or two influential and generally
circulated papers in Laurens and keeps
1t there two or three months every
body in the county Is bound to find out
that he is running. Every man in the
county who reads a paper at all is very
likely to read two or three issues of
this paper several times during the
campaign, whether he Is O subscriber
OF not. OF course IL there be two pa
pers representing opposing ideas in
politics and having to q degree differ
emit political followings, the discerning
candidate Is likely to see the wisdom of
appealing to both through their res
pective favorlte papers. But it seems
absurd to suppose that a candidate
must necessarily advertise In a multi
tude OF newspapers because they are
here and each has a circulation.
Moreover, the shewd politician will
place his card in the distinctively pol
iticai newspaper that has ideas and
speaks out on political matters. THE
ADvERTIsER, for example, 10 o politi.
cal newspaper, it believes I'M talking
politics because the people dnf politics

an interesting topic. Now nc candi-
date finds IL needful to print his adver-
tisement In our valuable aud widely
circulated contemporary, the Southern
Presbyterian, which is published in
this county. People do not look over
it's pages for political news. They do
not expect to find it In them. In the
same way, they do not seek political
information in a secular newspaper
which has no opinions, or whose opin-
ions are colorless, tasteless and odor-
less like certain gases. Really, the
healthy people of this county despise
skinned milk anyhow and there isn't
a Tillmanite in Laurens who doesn't
prefer The LAURENS ADVERTISER
with all It's iniquities to a paper that
sprinkles sweetened water through its
columns.
Moreover, no candidate need fear the
influence of a newspaper small enough
to take offence because 1t does not re-
ceive three dollars worth of advertis-
ing from him. A newspaper is of
course not under obligations to adyer-
tise or discuss a candidate who does not
pay for advertising in it but q news
paper having an editor who will be
Influenced In his vote by such a con-
sideration is after all not worth q
"chaw of ~terbacker." We do not
think any Of the Laurens county news
paper men are Of such sort. This year
all the candidates are in most of the
papers. We are glad Of it because we
are perhaps e few dollars better of
therefor. But we hope that 80 far
as this paper is concerned no one will
advertise in 1t in future for fear OF
offending 1t by emitting to do SO or
who thinks he Is not able to pay it
three dollars for a card.

A Good and Great Man.

Seldom indeed has a man lived to do
good so fully and widely and long as
DIR. James a. Carlisle, who because Of
his great age, retires from the active
presidency OF Wofford College. AS a
college president he has been ideal be-
cause in all his life he has plumbed the
line that a true ma walks. He is one
of those moral giants by whose hands
great states and people are lifted to
higher levels. Wofford College Is the
convincing evidence OF his faithful SER
vice to his GOO and his country and the
South Carolina College which nourish-
ed his youthful intellect has had no
Sol who has reflected a purer honor
upon her name. Meanwhile, WoffOrd
is fortunate to have in President Sny-
der a young man of force and character
already tried in the activities 'of the
institution to take up DR.. Carlisle's
work.
