CAD" TEAM WORK.

Merchants and buyers of publicity
who are seeking to reduce their ex-
penditures to a basis of fartheSt ef-
ficiency will find of interest the fol-
lowing comment by The Louisville
Courier Journal upon an analysis re-
Gently made by The New York Herald.
The Herald makes an interesting
comparison of the cost of ''circulaiz-
ing and newspaper advertising. One
circular recently sent out contained
three separate sheets of printed pa
per and a stamped envelope" The cost
of sending this to every one Of The
HeraIds regular buyers and isubscri-
bers is estimated at $4,000 and to send
it to The Sunday Herald's list would
cost about three times as much. The
advertiser could have bought a page
in The Herald for a whole week, in
Guiding the Sunday edition, for S.,
G0G Evidently he could have reached
the general public more cheaply by
advertising in the paper-and certain
ly more effectively. The comparison
is worthy the attention of advertisers.
Very few people read the circulars
in their entirely.
Another factor might we'll be MOTTO
ed by our contemporary-and that is
what might be called the publicity
teamwork Of the newspaper, as op-
posed to any other form of advertis-
ing
For example while you pay for the
space in which to exploit only your
own wares you get also the benefit,
indirectly, Of the money spent by
every other advertiser who patronizes
newspaper columns regularly and
who has educated the public to look
for his announcements 1t may be
that the consumer is interested in
looking only for the advertisement Of

Governor Blease has ordered the
election for congressman in the first
district to be held on the 29tr of
April, and the State executive commit
tee has called a primary to be held
On the 9th of May, a little more than
a month after the election has Deel
held. 1t seems to us that the COVER
nor is right in this matter. The com
mittee should have conferred Will the
governor as to the time he would or
der the election before they tiXei the
time for the primary. If they had the
primary could have been gotten il be-
fore the date fixed by the govefncr
for the general election, and givcl the
necessary sixty days before the pri-
mary, as required by the special !aW
as to Charleston. The governor Is
right. The district needs a congress-
man now if it ever needs one, and there
seems to be no good reason for post
poning the primary to the last Of May
At any rate, there will be little use t
hold it a month after the general elec'
ton.

Nothing seems to have been done
on the road from Newberry to Pros
perity We desire to respeat, that it
seems to us to be crime to let a
good road, such as this was, go to the
bad for the want of a little attention.
Somebody should do something There
is no use to spend money building
roads unless some provision is going
to be made for their up-keep. Just
little expenditure of money ald la
Dor would ksep this road in fine con-
dition all the time. We cannot un-
derstand why there should not be a
sufficient amount Of county pride in
our people, if there is not sufficient
amount Of self-interest, to keep this
road, which would cost so little, in
fine condition. One days worK with
a scrape and a drag would put this
road in fine condition. But to 90 ont
and build mounds across the road on
ly makes bad matters worse.

We think Governor Blease was q
little premature and a little harsh in
his message to the legislature IN / q
gard to the bill providing for the one
mill tax for the common schools n
referring to the bill passed by the
house On the subject as a "subteT-
fuge," because it is not a subterfuge,
and in fact is substantially what he
recommends as an amendment to it,
and which he says is acceptable to
him. The trouble, We think, is that
he did not have proper understand
ing of the bill The only difference
of any consequence is that the bill
passed by the house leaves the balance
to be apportioned among the counties
according to enrolment, to be known
as county board fund, to
be used by the county boards
in their discretion, to aid weak schools,
and his amendment leaves this balance
with the State board to be used in their
discretion One centralizes the power,
the other distributes it.
Both bills provide the same amounts
for the carrying out Of the various
general statutes giving aid to the com
mon schools. How then could the
one be "subterfuge" unless the
other be also.

above all else it is time for the 22o-
pie to turn their thoughts to COMMON
justice and insist on strict and impar-
tia enforcement Of the laws. It
the laws of the land were properly
observed, there would be no place for
dissatisfaction or unrest
All of which is very true AMI :.
which might be added that of laws W
have entirely too many. If men We =
to do to their neighbors as they woull
their neighbors should do unto th2m
there would be little use for laws, AMI
the enforcement of such laws as We
had would be easier of enforce nea!.
The great trouble with these times is
that we are trying to regulate every
thing by law, and as result We have
very few laws strictly enforced.
There is too much law and too mucl.
regulating everything by law, or al
least an attempt to do it. If people
would turn their thoughts to commca
justice and not rely so much OIL laws
there would be less infraction Of ~
and less need of law.

AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT.

The action of Governor Blease IN
sending in the name of Dr.. Houseal
to be superintendent of the State
Hospital for the Insane, according to
his own statement, because the legis-
lature did not elect Dr.. Houseal a
member of the board of trustees of
the medical college, strikes us as
something in the nature of a school
Boy act, and not the doing of states
man. 1t was evidently done in
moment of anger, and in a spirit of
resentment, two things which should
never be permitted to govern the &C.
tions of any man, certainly in matters
of State We are sorry the governor
gave way to anger in such a degree
as to permit him to give slap to
one friend, in order to show his ap-
probation of another, and to spite a
coordinate branch of the government.
He says in his message that he knew
that DR.. Hoqseal would not accept,
then why give this undeserved fling
at his friend, DR.. Babcock, to evidence
his resentment at the action of the
legislature He should have found
some other way to do it. Dr. Bah
cock had nothing to do with the ac-
ton of the legislature in refusing to
elect DR.. Houseal member of the
board of trustees of the medical col
lege. We cannot see that it was a
compliment to DR.. Houseal. If you
are going to stand to the principle
of sticking to your friends don't
slaughter them to give expression to
your feelings of resentment.
We think it would have been but
proper courtesy to have extended to
the governor to have granted his
wish to have DR.. Honseal member
of the medical board. but we cannot
see how it helps matters to take the
action taken by the governor
AS to DR.. Babcock, everybody knows
his peculiar fitness for the position
which he holds, and of his reputa-
tion in his line of work, and if he
were to resign or be removed, South
Carolina would be the loser and not
DR.. Babcock, for if he wanted a posi-
ton he would not long be without one,
for there are many States and many
institutions that would be glad of the
opportunity to secure his services. We
regret the entire incident and trE'
Dr. Babcock may be permitted md
may be willing to remain in the SER
vice of South Carolina, for she needs
him much more than he needs South
Carolina

one establishment. But the fact that
your announc> nent also meets his
eye is just as likely to turn his
thoughts in your direction whether
the advertisement of which he was in
search was that of your business rival
or from a firm in an entirely dissimi-
lar field of enterprise.
In other words, newspaper adver
tising stands out singular to itself in
that it is what might be called COM
munity adyertising-for nearly every
represe entative newspaper issue re-
fleets in it's advertising columns the
needs of society-at-large, a fact that
the public came long ago. to reco-
nize 1t is the great publicity market
place to which the buying public goes
every day to see what is doing" in
the lines it needs. 1t draws ire
mendous and habitual audience, an
audience ready to spend, an audience
that must spend, and this is not true
of the circular or of any other form OF
publicity, however cunningly devised.
The circular, of course, has its own
particular province. But there are
few of its uses that cannot be sup
piled with greater effectiveness by the
newspaper-Atlanta Constitution.
What the Constitution says about
newspaper advertising is very true,
and yet there are merchants who will
tell you that it does not pay to ad-
vertise. We wanted to say, however,
that about a year ago some enterprls-
ing gentlemen came In to Newberry
and persuaded some merchants, most
of whom never advertise in the news
papers, to pay, we are told, one hun
dred dollars each to have an adver-
tisement printed on sign board
which marked the distance to New
berry, and these signboards were to
be put up at each mile for distance
of ten miles on all of the main roads
leading to Newberry. We notice that
these signs are already falling down.
An hundred dollars invested in the
newspapers of the town would have
been of benefit to the men who live
here and spend their money with
these merchants, and would have
reached great many more people, and
We believe the results would have
been greater to the merchants. But
there are always people who are ready
and willing to take up any scheme if
it is presented by a stranger rather
than patronize their own people.

I see there was a citizens meeting
held the ether night to consider a re-
port on revising the charter of the
town-a very important matter-and
that the meeting was composed OF
about six or eight persons. That IS
entirely too bad If there had been
an election coming on and some one,
without any authority whatever, had
put out report that there was a
prospect of curtailing the right to
vote, there would not have been sui
ficient room in the opera house to
hold the crowd. O, We do love to vote.
That is considered one of the inherent
and inalienable rights of the American
citizen-the right to vote-Whether

not lose his vote You know, there
are just lots of people who do not

like to vote for the losing man.

Write this down on the indestructi-
BILE memory of men:
Among all the handmaidens Of
charity, wealth is one of the least.
Men prate of charity!
That which divides the last loaf o
Brother of Hunger, is charity, and that
which shares the one shawl, o Sister
of Rags, is charity, much more than
the heralded building of hospital and
asylum.
We have in our hearts charity if We
bestow the mSrrh of sympathy and
the spikenard of understanding;
Or teach one little child that the
reddened srn on evening waters is the
golden door to fairyland;
Or are kind to those beaten by the
knout of poverty plated by the ayarice
of man.
And we have charity if we turn aside
without ostentation to aid the weak;
Or track no man to his undeserved
hurt;
Or pursue no woman to her tears;
Or never forget that one apprecia-
tive word carried a thief from the
cross to the eternal flowers of para
disc, and that the voice of solace to a
wounded heart is as precious as the
everlasting fragrance Of the alabaster
cruise woman broke two thousand
years ago.
Charity is chiyalry because it cham
pions the burdencd. 1t is art because
it is the loveliest of lovely thoughts.
1t is courage because the martyrs
who bore the flames for the sake Of
conscience, and the sufferers who give
of their strength to help other suffer-
ers, today stand in the forefront OF
all the warriors of the world.
Charity is never measured in money.
Its monuments are in the hearts OF
those we have taught to smile.-James
Hay, Jr., in Smiths Magazine.
