One of the problems Of newspaper
life is getting people to pay for their
papers. The little bill OF a few dol
lars gets overlooked, while larger ac-
counts are prepared for and properly
met. But for all that the newspaper
proprietor is dependent upon the hon.
or of his subscribers in meeting these
little bills. Some newspaper readers
are inclined to shelter themselves be-
hind the fact of the smallness of the
bill. They seem to think it won't be
worth the publishers time to start
proceedings to recover two or three
dollars, 80 they let him whistle for
his money. Receiving paper under
these conditions is substantially get
ting money on false pretense. The
bill for few dollars is really the first
debt of honor, because the newspaper
trusts so much to faith in human ma
ture in permitting it to be Incurred.
If it were bill for 800 or even much
less, the publisher has ample protec-
ton in the courts. But it does not
pay to bring suit for two dollar bill,
save in 80 far as you thereby warn
other subscribers. The publisher
goes about his work with faith in the
honor of his audience that having seen
the show and had their fun, they will
not overlook the contribution box
when it comes along.-Orangeburg

sixty-seven Mortgages.

One OF the most unique happenings
that has ever been known in the
South, and possibly in the United
States, occurred in the Office Of the
register of deeds in Greenville last
week when 81 mortgages on one piece
of property we're satisfied and now
the land in question is held by the
heirs without strings to it. Warren
Sullivan, a prominent negro farmer,
who died years ago, left his property
to 13 children, who from time to time
gave mortgages on their share of the
estate and for the past few years 81
papers have been held on this proI-
erty.

Consequently the actions of the

And so it goes. Every man has
