THIS from the Columbia Record, al
enough sound truth and instruction in
it to warrant it's reproduction without
apologies:
There are very few people outside
of the newspaper offices who fully ap-
preciate how absolutely impersonal is
the matter which appears in the COL
umns of the papers. A good many
people seem to believe that the reports
Of events, or even the editorial COM
ment, is a matter of personality, and
one sometimes hears a reader remark:
Il wonder what the editor has against
so and So?"
AS a matter of fact, an editor has
nothing against anybody so far as the
columns Of his paper are concerned.
To him man is only an object to
be condemned if he does wrong, or ap-
plauded if he does right, and there
are indeed few instances in journalism
where personal animosity enter into
the articles which appear in print. This
extends through the paper, in it's every
department.
Not long ago a reporter was sent to
a place where it was reported an acci-
dent had happened. The party tele-
phoning in the information said a man
had been killed. The reporter made a
long trip and when he arrived on the
scene Of the disaster found that a
workman had had a hand severely
mashed, but that from a newspaper
standpoint 1t did not amount to a great
deal.
When the reporter got back to the
office he was mad. He said the fellow
we Eiila1-nnl
it. What he had believed was a good
newspaper story had dwindled to a
mere four-line mention and he was
grieved to think he had missed a good
story.
Now, that does not show that the re-
porter had a hard heart, nor that he
had anything against the workman.
In fact, he never heard of the work.
man and could have had nothing
against him. Certainly he would have
been distressed-the reporter would-if
he had thought of family being de-
prived Of father.
But from a business standpoint
from a wholly impersonal standpoint
he was actually grieved to think there
had not been an accident. Or, what
amounts to the same thing, he was sor-
ry that he did not have story to turn
into his paper
The newspaper business is as i'm
personal as the profession of medicine
or the occupation of undertaken The
physician complains of business being
poor with him when there Is little sick
ness. and the undertaken rejoices that
his business is good even though he
knows that for his business to be good
ii requires dead men. The newspaper
man has it in" for nobody, unless
there is story in it, or some conduct
on the part of the man TO call for eX-
posure or denunciation, exploitation or
applause There are few professions
where commendation is more literally
bestowed, when it ought to be bestow-
ed, than that of the newspaper profess
sion.

from Chattanooga, aggregate less than
25 gallons a week. There are good
many days that do not witness the ar
rival Of a single jug and then other
days there may be six, eight or ten at
once.
The receipts at Glover average about
IL or Is gallons a week. Tirzah gets
about 10 or IL gallons. Sharon, Hick-
ory Grove and Guthriesville each aver

vile. Smyrna gets 10 to IL gallons,
and Kings Creek, just across the line
in Cherokee, gets anywhere from 35 to
SO gallons a week, mostly for the peo-
pie engaged in the construction Of the
dam at Ninety Nine Islands Much OF
the liquor intended for Yorkville, Sha-
ron, Hickory Grove, ETC.. goes through
Rock Hill; but 1t is estimated that al
least 100 or $50 gallons a week stop
in that town.
There Is very little doubt of the fact
that liquor consumption is on the de-
crease and IL the wholesalers are run
out of Jacksonville, Chattanooga and
Richmond, the consumption in this
section will be still further diminished

There was need and demand for much
of this power before 1t was made avail
able; but the total quantity amounts to
twice or three times as much as the
present demand, and 1t stands to rea-
son that the balance will soon be
brought into use.
Of course, no one is foolish enough
to think that the cotton manufacturing
industry has reached it's limit, or that
it will ever reach its limit In this coun-
try. And cotton manufacturing, OF
course, will continue to require increas-
ing quantities of power. Left alone
cotton manufacturing will eventually
take all the hydro electrical power that
can be developed in this locality and
more.
But as we see it, the big opportunities
Of the situation are separate from cot
ton manufacturing. There are hun
dreds and thousands of smaller and
less pretentious wheels that may be
turned to advantage and 1t is here that
the most numerous and varied oppor-
tunities are presented to our people.
1t is not to be denied that for lack OF
training in that direction, we have
comparatively few people in this Sec
ton who are now fitted to take up
manufacturing other than cotton. For
these people to undertake new depart
ures means experimentation and more
or less encouragement for large per-
centage Of them. This is the case in
all other experiments; but the situa-
ton is we'll worth the most careful con-
sideration, for whether our own peo-
pie do it or not, it will certainly be de-
veloped.
The fact that the power Is here avail
able means that this power Is going to
be utilized. Power means production
and production means wealth. The
people who are producing the power do
not mean that it shall go to waste, and
the great thing is for our own people
to go in and make an effort to secure
the advantage of the opportunities Of
fered.

suit. There was no demonstration In
the court when the verdict was rem
dered. Capt. Hams stood up and faced
the jury, squaring his shoulders,
thrown back in military fashion, while
Foreman Sundling recited the Verolct,
AS he heard the decision of the jurors
Hams face was as white as chalk. He
stood for a few moments motionless'
staring at the jury after he heard the
verdict One of his lawyers touched
him and he quickly sat down. A few
moments later, apparently little ar
fected by the verdict, he walked from
the court room with steady stride as
he was taken back to the Queens coun-
ty iail. In striking contrast to the de-
meanor Of the prisoner was the GRIEF
of his aged father, Gen. Peter c. Hams

Hains. For a moment they sat as II
dazed, then broke down and wept.

MIssRs. Wilbur and orville Wrigh

MEssRs. Wilbur and Orville Wright
went into the flying machine business
for fortune rather than fame; but now
after a long struggle they have won
both fame and fortune. The Wrights
took up the flying machine problem,
because they thought they could solve
It. They owned machine shop at
Dayton, Ohio; but had very little cap
ital. They worked for several years
before they began to get great deal
of encouragement. 1t was long time
before the people of Dayton found out
what they were doing and then they
were put down as pair of cranks.
They did not mind this, however, II
they could only be let alone. They did
much Of their testing on prairie, some
eight or nine miles from Dayton, and
after they succeeded in making fair
ly successful fight, people who saw 1t
spread the word and it was told over
the country. Thousands Of people fol-
lowed them out to their testing ground,
and Immediately they had to make 9TH
er arrangements. 1t was their original
plan not to patent their machine; but
to sell the secret Of it to the govern
ment that would pay the best price.
The French government negotiated
about the matter; but as the Wrights
would not tell the government agent
what they had, and he would not
buy until he knew what he was getting,
there was no trade. After that, on the
advice Of Chas. R. Flint Of New York,
it was decided to change the policy Of
secrecy to publicity, and have the ma
chine patented in every country In
the world that issues patents. This
was done by Mr.. Flint, who put up the
money, and the Wrights then startled
the world by making a public flight.
Their flights at Fort Meyer, near
Washington, and at Lemans, France,
Is a matter fresh in the public recollec-
tion. The world has now become in
terested and flying machines will soon
be put on the market for all who are
able to buy at from $500 each and
up, according to the ability Of the in
tending purchaser. There are already
numerous limitations on the market;
but the Wrights have the lead and they
are in fair way to reap all the rich
reward to which their great contribu-
ton to human advancement entities
them.
