white paper and outside such counties
the only additional cost was one cent
a pound for postage.
The incentive to the practice de-
scribed was the building up of circu-
lations to enhance the value Of adVer-
tising space and increase the influence
of the papers following such method.
On the other hand there was no little
annoyance to the public. The indiVid-
uals to whom the papers were sent
found themselves impOrtuned for pay,
and as a rule there was no other way
out of the annoyance except by con-
tinual submission to the imposition.
The new. orders Of the postmaster
general will make a radical change In
the practices described, and hereafter
all newspapers will have to be con-
Quoted on what amounts to cash In
advance basis.
The regulations provided distinctly
that the second class postal rates are
not for the benefit of publishers: but
exclusively for the benefit Of the read
ing public, and it is the purpose Of the
department to see that the reading pub
lie is not imposed upon any further.
A publisher may send out sample
copies to the proportion Of 10 per cent
of his bona fide circulation; but he
must not send more than three sample
comics to the same address within the
same year.
Daily papers must be paid for within
three months, tri-weekly papers must
be paid for within six months, semi
weekly papers within nine months and
weekly papers within one year. If the
publisher continues to send beyond
these periods he will do it at the risk
of being deprived of second-class pos
tai privileges.
The new arrangement will have the
effect off doing for all country publish
ers what ought to have been done all
along: but what few of them have been
able to do for themselves-putting
them on a strictly business basis.
Hereafter publishers who seek to
work UP calculations for the profit they
may hope to get out Of advertising and
publishers who seek to establish cam
paign organs for the purpose Of getting
the announcement cards Of the small
candidates and so much a line for
booming those who contend for the
more important offices, will find the
business confronted with rather serious
obstacles.

New Postal REGULATIONS.

Beginning tomorrow the postoftice
department puts into effect some new
regulations with regard to mail mat
ter generally, and especially as to mail
matter of the second-class.
For several years past the depart
ment has been giving more and more
attention to the regulation Of the con-
ditions by which newspapers are to be
entitled to second class postal priv
ileges and to preventing the abuse OF
such privileges.
Under the old system there has
grown up a widespread practice, where
by publishers have been sending out
newspapers promiscuously without au-
thority, continuing them year after
year, and demanding pay from the
parties to whom they were sent. This
was practicable for the reason that in
the counties of publication there was
but little expense beyond the cost of

Today is the last day for the pay
ment Of state and county taxes with
out penalty.
Now for the buggies! Nearly all OF
them are still within the reach even OF
new beginners. 1t is only matter OF
persistent, energetic work.
The ten n-hour law goes into effect In
the cotton mills Of the state tomorrow
January /. After tomorrow 1t Will be
unlawful for cotton mill laborers to
work more than ten hours q day OF
sixty hours a week.
Local cotton buyers and farmers
generally, says the Charlotte Observer
have no hesltancy in saying that they
look for better prices within the next
few days. The demand for spots and
the better outlook in the financial
sphere underlies this belief. There
seems to be every indication that the
farmers will realize on the cotton they
are holding much greater sums than
had they marketed 1t freely during the
early part Of the season. 8.

DR.. J. II. THoRNWELL DEAD.

News was received here yesterday OF
the death of DR.. James H. Thornwell,
the distinguished and greatly beloved
pastor of Fort Mill and Ebenezer
churches, which sad event occurred at
the doctors home in Fort Mill at about
o'clock yesterday morning.
DR.. Thornwell's demise was rather
sudden and unexpected. He had been
in bad health for some time and had
suffered considerably from indigestion
during several days previous; but on
Sunday was much better and during
Sunday afternoon especially, seemed
to be in unusually good spirits.
DR.. Thornwell was probably one Of
the best known preachers in South
Carolina. He was certainly one Of the
best known preachers in York county.
He was a son of the late DR.. James H.
Thornwell. for many years president
of the South Carolina college and
famed in his day as philosopher and
theologian of the highest rank. He
was born In Columbia in 1843, while
his father presided over the college.
His early educational advantages were
Of the best; but were interrupted by
the necessity of his going to the war
before he was 19 years Of age. He did
not have to go, It is true; but he felt
that 1t was his duty to go, and volun-
teered. After the war he read law with
the firm OF Wilson & Witherspoon of
Yorkville, and practiced for about a
year In Anderson. Then he entered
the Theological seminary in Columbia,
and after graduation in 1874, he was
licensed to preach. He served for sew
eral years as evangelist Of Concord
presbytery, and then after a short pas
torate at Poplar Tent, n. c., went to
Fort Mill about 1882 and remained
there as pastor of the church at that
place and Ebenezer up to the time OF
his death.
DR.. Thornwell was married In 1859
to Miss Florence Earle of Anderson,
who survives him. The names Of their
children are as follows: Florence, Earle
E., Mamie, Mary Sloan, Julia (Mrs. r.
| G. McLees), James H. jr., Allison and
Francis. Mr.. James H. Jr, was mar
ried only a few days ago. and he and
his bride had been entertained at the
old home during the week.
The funeral of DR.. Thornwell Is to
take place at Ebenezer, he having ex-
pressed a desire to be buried in that
historic old churchyard.
