"A Radical Ruling - Subscribers
Must Pau lin.

The Postoffice Department at Wash
ington seems TO have particular spite
at newspapers, as well as at those who
are not able TO or do II Vt pay in advance
for their paper The ruling (Which is
now in effect is, that if subscriber to
weekly paper becomes more than one
year in arrears the publisher is required
to place one cent stamp on each and
every paper he sends to such subscriber.
Daily papers cannot. according to the
ruling send ont papers if the subscriber
is over three mouths in arrears, unless
postage is paid at the rate of one cent
FOR each four ounces. On account OF this
ruling many weekly and small daily
papers Will likely be forced to suspend
and the big dailies and trust publica.
tons, that TRUST no one, will reap the
harvest
We have numbers of subscribers on
our list who are more than year in ar
rears but we are not afraid to trust them
and believe they will pay us when we
have chance 10 see them, but we can
not afford TO place a one cent stamp on
each paper every week (as they probably
would not want TO pay this extra post
age, nor do we want to discontinue
sending them the paper because they
are negligent in settling There is only
one thing for us to do. This is to send
statements to all our delinquent sub.
scribers (who have not recently received
statemeDts), which we propose TO do in
few days, and trust TO their honesty to
settle up promptly, before we are com.
PEELED TO erase their names from our
mailing list. Remember, that while we
have trusted you and are willing to CON
tinue to trust you, the Postmaster
General says you are not legitimate
subscriber if you owe for more than one
year.
WILL YOU PLEASE SETTLE?

One Of the most notable sociable
events of the season was that given
by the ladies of the Presbyterian
church at the home OF Mrs. w. w.
Breeze Tuesday evening. The social
was what might be termed dollar
social, that Is, each one was to earn
a dollar during the week and tell in
rhyme how the money was earned.
Many well rhyming verses were re-
cited, az well as funny ones, all to
the Amusement of those present.
And then each lady had the priyi-
lege of inviting her husband or
gentleman friend, who was TO pay
ten cents as an admittance fee. Mr..
Spouse was supposed TO make few
remarks, not about the ladies, but
on some subject of general interest.
Postmaster A. G. Holt was present
and was called upon. Uncle Sans
representative responded IN a digni-
fed and impressive manner that
would have done justice to James
u. Blaine or Roscoe Conkling. After
the rhymes and speech. making were
over delicious refreshments were
served. So varied and numerous
were those served that it makes our
mouth "water" to such an extent
that we cannot describe them.
After the proceeds of the evening
bad been counted it was found that
the sum of $50 had been added to
the church treasury.-Kenova Re,

A Lie Nailed.

Some insurance man of Hunting
ton, who doubtless cannot get any
business in his own town or county,
has been going over this county re-
porting that some Of the companies
represented by the proprietor of
this paper, failed on account of the
recent big confagratlon at San
Francisco. He knew he was pre-
varicating when he SAID it, but
then he could get but little business
in his own county and concluded he
would come over to Wayne whose
inhabitants some of the s.city
chaps" imagine are "green" and
can be talked into believing almost
anything.
Not one of the companies repre-
sented by this agency failed on ac-
count Of the San Francisco fire. and
the standing of any company whose
policies are written at this agency
can be ascertained in few hours by
writing the State Auditor at
Charleston. Wayne county people
should patronlze Wayne county
agents, who can always get better
results from adjus,ers in case of
loss. If An agent from another
county asks for your business make
him show his authority to do busi.
ness In this county. The writer
has been in the fire insurance busi-
ness eInce 1885 and not a single per-
son carrying policies written by him
in all these years ever failed to coll
lect the amount due him for loss on
account of the failure of company.

The police committee was author
lied to arrange to give the members
of the police force the usual ten DAYS
leave Of absence, the officers taking
holiday in turn.
Mr. Stubbs brought up the matter
OF professional beggars making
nuisance of themselves on the streets.
1t was decided to issue orders to the
police to keep professional beggars
off the streets.
At the suggestion of Mayor Boyle
it was decided that hereafter all
meetings Of council shall be opened
with prayer. On motion of Mr. Ligon
Clerk Hurst was elected chaplain. 1t
seems that there is no limit to the
number Of positions under council
that Mr.. Hurst can fill.
On motion of Mr.. Stubbs the pur-
chase of additional hose cranes for
the use of the street sprinkler was
referred to the street committee with
power to act. The cost, it was stated,
would be a small understanding
like SIS apiece for the five or six
needed.
Mayor Boyle was granted further
time to appoint a purchasing commit
tee for council, provided for in a res
olution adopted on Mr.. Finn's motion
some time ago.
Council then adjourned.

Resolution Adopted Suggesting Cur.
tailment Until September 1.
Glenn Springs, June 12.-The South
Carolina Manufacturers association
concluded( it's work here today, Of
ficers being elected as follows:
President, Ellison A. Smyth; first
vice president, Leroy Springs; Sec
ond vice president, 4. E. Moore; third
vice president, c. X. Oliver; treasur-
er, j. A. Brock; secretary, T. c.
Charles.
EXedstve committee-J. d. Ham,
met, w. E. Eeattie, A. b. Calvert and
c. c.. Twitty.
The above officers were elected for
one year
! The meeting place for the associa-
ton for next year was left to the ex-
ecutive committee.
The foremost question before the
association today was the matter of
curtailment in the manufacture Of
cotton goods in the next three moths,
and the result of the decision was
the adoption by close vote of a res
olution suggesting a decrease in pro-
duction by all mills between now and
Sept. /.
The resolution suggests a curtaii-
ment Of 10 days, or two weeks, this
action being urged on account Of the
unsatisfactory condition of the cot
ton goods market
The action, hOwever, is not binding
upon any mill, and the method of
curtailment is not set forth, that be-
ing left with the individual mills.
1t is expected, however, that the as
sociation's suggestions or recommen-
dations will be accepted by the ma
.jority Of the manufacturers
Conditions at the various mills not
being identical, no fixed course was
agreed upon or suggested.
The sessions Of the association
were held in the ball room of the
hotel.

ment after a deliberation of more
than 15 hours. and at $50 yesterday,

Rhett Enters the race TOR senator.

IIhett Enters the race TOR Senator.
Goodwin Rhett is a candidate for
United States senator. He will file his
pledge with the Democratic executive
committee at Columbia today, as re-
quired by the rules of the party, and
will abide by the result of the pri-<
| mary elections. He appeals to the
Democratic voters of the State for
their support.
Mr.. Rhett is now serving his Sec
ond term as mayor of. the city Of
Charleston. He was nominated for
reelection without opposition HIS
administration of the affairs of the
city has been Conservative and at the
same time progressive. At his in
stance, or under his direction, many
substantial advances have been made
in the affairs of this tSwn, which now
holds closer relations with the rest of
South Carolina than at any previous
period for half a century. Working
upon broad lines for the promotion of
the interests of the State without re-
divisions which have so distracted
successful effort in the past he has
been instrumental in large degree
in bringing about. that unity of pur-
pose and endeavor essential to the
upbuilding Of the commonwealth. A
Democrat on principle all his life,
faithful to all the traditions of the
party, and loyal to it's candidates and
platforms, he commits his claims to
the Democratic voters of the State.
He is largely interested in the devel-
opment of the industrial affairs of the
state; his personal investments and
activities are in no sense local, and !
he touches the commercial life of
South Carolina at more points prob.
ably than any other man in the State
In the prime of life, active in every
good word and work, wise in cousel,
of sound and discriminating iudg-
ment, learned in the law and at the
same time practical in business, he
would make an ideal senator at WASH
ington.
In the course Of few days. or GER
tainly at the opening meeting of the
campaign, he will make a full and
clear statement of the reasons which
have impelled him to enter the race
for senator. He will make an active
campaign for the office, and a clean
campaign, as we'll. He is the candi-
date of no faction or community or
section, and if he shall be elected he
Will represent the whole State at
Washington in a way that will reflect
honor upon the state and upon the
people who shall give him their sup
