FREE ADVERTISING ABUSE.
ingenuity and Persistency Used to Cheat the
Newspaper Publisher.

The demand for free advertising is in
extent, persistence and ingenuity beyond
the belief of any but those who have expe-
rience in the business. A man who would
never think of going into grocery store
and requesting the proprietor to donate
a barrel of -four or into shoe store and
telling the owner that if he has no objec-
tion he thinks he'll help himself to a pair
of shoes, will walk confidently into a
newspaper Office and prefer his request
for several dollars worth of free advertis-
ing and feel mighty offended if refused,
says the Salt Lake City News.
All of which is true, agrees the Nyack
IN. ~ Star. The solicitor of free adver-
tising is always sure that the proprietor
will be "glad of something to help fill up
the paper" He is just as glad as the gro
ceryman is glad of some one to help carry
off his stock without payment. Time and
again, under the guise of news items, mat.
ter is presented which is plain advertising
and if used at all should be paid for as
such.
The newspaper proprietor expects to
furnish certain amount of free advertis.
ing to religious, charitable and public
enterprises. If he didn't he would be
looked on as heather, hard hearted
mercenary, lacking in public spirit. His
contribution is accepted as matter OF
course, and rarely is he accorded a word
of thanks. Sometimes he refuses to do.
nate as much space as the promoter OF
some enterprise desires, and then heis
looked upon as unreasonabl and disoblig-
ing. The proprietor also expects and is
willing to give little free advertising to
those who run paid advertisements in his
paper.
This is matter of business courtesy
which is rarely abused. But with the
horde of solicitors for free advertising
which constantly besiege the newspaper
offices, with no possible claim upon its
courtesis save the hope of getting some
thing for nothing the proprietor has no
sympathy whatever.
The duties that newspaper proprietor
and editor owe to the public are numer-
ous, diverse and exacting. It is high time
that public should understand that those
duties do not include the sacrifice of
considerable amount of valuable space
for the benefit of individuals or enter
prise which give nothing in return.

Public School Libraries.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: In lee
ture given to the normal students OF the
South Carolina college on December 10th,
1904, Hon. O. B. Martin, State superin-
tendent of education, called attention to
the fact that the legislature has approprl-
ated $4,000 for the establishment of libra
ries in the rural schools of South Carroll
ra, and that, although four hundred OF
these libraries have been established, there
is money enough left in the State treasury
for one hundred more.
After the meeting of the next legislat.
ure, which is not very far off, the money
that is unused will 60 back into. the State
treasury. The new library law ought to
be appreciated, because it is distinct ef-
fort on the part of the legislature to aid
and build up the country schools. Bam-
berg county has established seven OF these
rural libraries, but she should secure the
five others before it is too late. The good
results sureto follow will demonstrate the
wisdom of our lawmakers. Success with
them will open up the way for other i'm
provements and other helpful legislation
These libraries can to be secured with
little work. A teacher, a trustee, or any
public-spirited citizen in a community
can visit patrons, and in half a day raise
the necessary ten dollars by private sub
scription. Then he can get the trustees to
draw a warrant for ten dollars in favor OF
the county superintendent of education
who, as secretary of the county board
will approve such warrant, and will apply
to the State board for an additional ten
dollars.
After the county superintendent gets
the thirty dollars he will turn it over to
the trustees, who are to buy the libra
ry. The educational publishing compa-
ny under contract will supply the books,
freight prepaid, to the nearest railroad
station, at prices which they have quoted
to the State superintendent of education.
This company will furnish substantial
bookcase with lock and key free with
each thirty dollar order. :.
There are many bright pupils in the
public schools of this county that are
idling their time away for the lack OF
some good reading matter. "a library is
a true fairyland," says Sir John Lubbock.
ga very palace of delight, and heaven OF
repose from the storms and troubles OF the
world. Rich and poor can enjoy it equally;
for here, at least, wealth gives US advantag-
es. You can transport yourself without de-
lay and without expense to any part OF the
globe, or even in any region of the skies.
You can call up the greatest men OF the
past or the present of this or any other
country" GEORGE MckENzdE. dG.
