Among the many things we car

Among the many things we can't
understand, is why newspapers
should try to make it appear that the
man who declines to pay for a news
paper sent him without authorization
on his part is dishonest. All the law
on the subject says that no man is
responsible for a newspaper subscrip-
tion beyond the time the paper has
been ordered to be sent, and the pub
Usher who sends a paper to anybody
without the authorization of the re-
cipient is positively violating the law.
The only way that publisher can
lawfully send other than sample
copies to non-subscrlbers is by placing
one cent stamp on each copy, and
the publisher who complains at nom
subscribers for failure to pay lays
himself liable to a comeback that
would not be pleasant If it were push
ed to the limit.

Democrats from those sections Of
the country that are more interested
in the production and manufacture of
wool than they are in the production
and manufacture of cotton are trying
to secure a temporary postponement Of
consideration of the wool schedule and
the taking up of the cotton schedule.
The movement does not seem to be
calculated to contribute to harmony.
1t is pretty generally recognized that
interference with the cotton schedule
will seriously demoralize both cotton
production and cotton manufacture in
the south. That is, it will further de-
moralize the market for the manufac-
tured product, and that will mean
some effect on the raw product. 1t Is
fact that the masses of the south
have but little real knowledge of how
the tariff helps and hurts them as in
dividuals, and the politicians who
have heretofore been treating the sub
ject altogether from the standpoint of
getting votes for themselves would not
relish a general waking up of the peo-
pie along practical lines.

News of the past few days from
Mexico throws light on a situation,
the outcome of which cannot be inter-
preted with any considerable degree
of certainty. The extended time limit
Of the armistice expired last Saturday
without the reaching of an agreement
between Judge Carabajal, representing
the Mexican government and DR.. Co
mez representing the insurgents. The
one issue was the immediate resigna-
ton of President Diaz. 1t has been
understood all along that Madero in
sisted on that. Carabajal, however,
would agree to nothing of the kind,
and the armistice was declared to be
at an end. News went out to the effect
that Madero intended to make an at
tack on Juarez, and it was expected
that the attack would be made Sun
day. But Sunday brought new sur
prise in the shape of an official proc
lamation from President DiaZ setting
forth his intention to resign. The proc
lamation was directed not to the revo-
lutionists; but to the Mexican people.
1t was given out unofficially that the
president had previously made up his
mind to resign, but was unwilling to
do so in a manner construable so clear
~ as a concession to the rebels. 1t
was announced that his resignation
would take effect so soon as 1t ap-
peared that it would not be followed
by anarchy. The news brought great
JOY and satisfaction to Madero and his
forces, and Madero sent to Diaz dis
patch congratulating him on the pa
triotism he showed in the circum-
stances. Immediately upon the devel-
opment of such bright prospects of
peace, Madero gave orders calling his
forces away from the American bor-
der in the direction of Mexico, his OBJ
ject being to use every possible
means of avoiding complications with
the United States that might furnish
ground for intervention. These devel-
opments seem to give more satisfac-
tory assurances of peace than have
been apparent up to this time; but
that the whole trouble is over is by
no means certain. Although Madero
is the leader of the most formidable
of the disaffected elements opposing
the government, it is a fact that there
is much unrest in various quarters of
the republic and it is quite probable
that other leaders may decline to fol-
low Madero's cause in agreeing to
peace. Under such conditions, Diaz
may hold on to his job for while
longer, and what may happen before
the tangle is finally Strengthened out,

the honor due.
The spring scarcity of beef cattle
has been on for the past two weeks.
The butchers have been having great
difficulty in finding anything for mar
ket, and have been compelled to fall
back on western dressed beef.
With water works, electric light and
sewerage system, concrete sidewalks,
opera house, a good hotel, two banks,

vestment. 1t would help things Won
derfully.
Cotton is coming up slowly, but
generally it is not doing so we'll on
account of the cool weather. Corn Is
doing very well. Although planting
operations have been very much re-
tarded, the work generally has been
finished, and the pressure of the past
few weeks has been relieved until cul-
tivation commences.

Greenville candidates do not seem
to realize that it would be good policy
to take page advertisements In the
newspapers. The plan has been tried
in other cities and worked most sue
cessfully Piedmont.
That newspaper advertising-fair
and square advertising-can be used
to as good advantage by the candi-
date as by the commercial man, has
been proved beyond question. The
Piedmont, however, is no doubt well
aware why candidates are somewhat
reluctant to adopt this means of
campaigning. In the first place
the average South Carolina can
didate these days is of that
secretive nature that would be
afraid of too much publicity. He
does not want to do that which would
invite a close inspection of his record,
reputation or character, either per-
sonal or private. In the second place,
the use of advertising space by one
candidate necessarily compels the
other candidates to do the same and
the tendency is to put each and all too
squarely on their respective merits.
But the thing is coming, and soon the
man who has really just claims to
public preferment will be glad to take
the best means in the world of letting
those claims be known.

OUR CONFEDERATE DEAD.

During the past twelve years, be-
ginning in 1899, The Enquirer has
been devoting especial effort to the
work of perfecting a list Of the Con-
federate dead buried in the various
cemeteries of York county. The pur-
pose of this work is obvious-to secure
record that is not kept otherwise
and which may sometime furnish val
liable individual or public information
which cannot then be had from any
other source.
The method employed in the COR
rection and revision Of this list was
the sending out to different Confeder-
ate veterans and others proofsheets
containing all the names that had
been previously secured. These names
were carefully studied by old soldiers
and others familiar with the situation
at their respective cemeteries, and
revised as carefully as possible
Altogether more than 100 names
were added to the lists as sent out;
but it is worthy Of note that but few
of those names were of veterans who
passed away previous to 1907. More
than 80 per cent Of the additions in
clude the names of veterans who have
died since 1897. AS revised up to date,
the list stands as follows:

MARKERS FOR THE GRAVES.

The Winnie Davis Chapter Of the U.
D. C.s has at last secured a supply
of handsome and indestructible mark
ers for the Confederate graves.
The markers were received yester-
day morning, and were put In place
yesterday afternoon, in time for the
memorial exercises, which are to be
held tomorrow.
These markers are of aluminium,
bright and white like silver, with a
design similar to that so familiar In
the crosses of honor now being so gen.
orally worn by the old soldiers.
With a spike of sufficient length at
tached at the bottom to hold 1t In the
ground securely, the cross appears,
merely as a silver emblem over the
grave and Is a lasting credit to the
devoted women, who have provided
such a handsome and permanent me-
mortal.

1t is surprising the number of
South Carolina newspapers, some OF
them dailies. that fill their editorial
columns with miscellany and plate
matter, without a single line of orig
inal editorial comment or observa-
ton. How can such newspaper hope
to d?-Spartanburg Journal.
The Journal should take another
guess at the proposition. The success
of a newspaper is not necessarily de-
pendent upon the force and power or
the editorial columns. Two of the
most successful newspapers we know
of in America are notoriously weak in
their editorial columns. These are the
New York Herald and the Cincinnati
Enquirer. They are weak, because
they prefer to be, because both have
the means with which to employ the
best editorial writing ability that is
to he had. Most of the papers to
which the Journal refers are lacking
in editorial matter, because they
neither know what to say or how to
say it, and the" are as weak in their

Eiohtinu Last Niuht,-There was

Fighting Last Night.-There was
more fighting on the Mexican border
last night. A part Of the insurrecto
army before Juarez did not approve
of the peace negotiations and the pros
pect of having to go away without
fighting. The real incentive of the at
tack is not fully explained. One the
DRY is that the insurrectos were taunt-
ed by the Mexican regulars into MAX
ing the attack. Another statement is
that a few of the more daring and in
subordinate among the insurrectos
calculated that if they should attack
with show Of success the main body
would be stampeded to their assist
ance. There were only about $50
men in the attacking party, but they
made fine effort, and showed that
with proper support they could have
probably carried the city. A number of
soldiers were killed, also a good many
nOn-combatantS. including five or six
Americans who stood along the border
line and on the housetopS watching
the fighting a thousand United States
troops were spread along the border
watching the fighting, and the COM
manding officer warned the combat
ants against sending their bullets in
the direction Of the United States. The
warning had some effect on the fight
ing but did not prevent the loss of
American lives. Madero was very
much disappointed and chagrined at
the unauthorized attack and disclaim-
ed all responsibility for it. The cir
created great excitement
throughout Mexico and as to whether
or not this incident will have the ef-
feet of undOing the peace negotia-
tiOns has not yet developed.

President Barrett of the Farmers

interesting addresses, and the one
published today is no exception. All
that he says about the wiles of the

to exhaust the subject. He would
have neither time nor room to discuss
anything else.

Better Business Methods,

Credit is not so cheap in this coun-
try as it once was; but it is still toe
cheap and there is need for further
reform in business methods.
That merchants over the country
are every year swindled out of thou
sands of dollars that are justly due
them, there is no question; but while
this is a deplorable condition of af-
fairs, it does not follow that they are
entitled to especial sympathy.
Nothing is so valuable to the busi-
ness man as good, sound commercial
credit 1t is valuable not only from
the actual benefits that are to be de-
rived from it in a business way but
also because of all the precedence
that goes with such a reputation. The
man who has good credit is also look
ed upon as a straight forward, upright
citizen, and properly so, because 9TH
erwise his credit would not be so good
More merchants and other business
people are ruined, because of too
free extension of credit favors to the
unworthy than from any other one
cause; but as to whether the people
who ruin them are most censurable. is
a question for very careful considera-
ton.
The moving cause for the extension
of credit to doubtful applicants for the
same is. in five cases out of ten, the
hope of eventual payment and profit,
and in favor of the other cases lack
of courage to say no" cases where
the deadbeat h me greatest pres
tige and dominates the individual he
is planning to swindle.
The present unsatisfactory and
discrcditable condition with re-
gard to the payment of open
accounts is so deeply rooted that
to reform it will be difficult; but new
ertheless it is up to all business peo-
pie who are worthy Of the name of

an address that President Tart de-
livered before a medical society in
Philadelphia, last Thursday night,
are of almost sensational interest to
those who have not been keeping up
with the medical progress of the past
few years: And now, we have dl-
vision of eighteen thousand men in
Texas and California. They have been
there for two months living under
canvas and in a country soaked with
rain and deep with profanity -provok-
ing mud. But so effective have been
the regulative and preventive methods
adopted to reduce sickness that the
percentage of sick men is less than 1t
was in the posts from which those men
were mobilized. l need not recall the
dreadful record of sickness from ty-
phoid fever in the camps at Chick
amauga and other camps established
during the Spanish American war.
The percentage of typhoid cases was
so high that it is hard to believe. OF
10000 men there were 10000 cases,
with a case mortality of per cent.
Of the volunteer regiments modified
during the Spanish American war 80
per cent became infected with typhoid
fever within eight weeks from the
date of mobilization. Today, two
months after mobilization, with the
modern health regulations and by the
use of vaccination against typhoid, not
one case of typhoid fever has appear
ed i'm the entire force, except that of
one teamster who was not vaccinated.
1t is hard to credit the accuracy of
such a record. But as | have it di-
rectly from the war office, l can assert
il. and give il as one more instance of
the marvellous efficacy of recent medi-
cal discoveries and practice. When
we consider how in times past the eff
ficiency of an army has been reduced
by large percentage through disease,
we can realize what an important
part of the army the medical corps
has become. But without reference to
war. when we consider the enormous
advances made in the discovery Of
