Union Progress has an editorial on
the subject of the Public and the
Newspaper" in which editorial it ac-
cuses the public of being forever and
everlastingly trying to graft the pub
Usher out Of the proceeds Of his labor
his stock in trade, without giving
value received. We sympathize pretty
fully with Progress in the motive OF its
complaints; but we would call atten-
ton to the fact that it has things down
wrong, not Intentionally but inadver-
tently. The public-that portion OF 1t
which subscribes for a newspaper, is
the best friend a publisher has. The
public gives the newspaper no trouble
whatever 1t appreciates good service,
pays for service in proportion to its
value, and goes on it's way. The people
who give the trouble Progress is COM
planning of, constitute very small
portion of the public. They are usu-
ally people who look upon the newspa-
per mainly as a means of working the
public for their own benefit. and be-
cause they take such narrow view or
the purpose of the newspaper, it is not
surprising that they should have
very small sized estimate of the char
acter and intelligence Of the editor. The
fellow who comes around and tries to
use the editor as mOuthpiece to tell
the public something. is right smart or
a nuisance, and the editor who allows
himself to be used that way. is not fit
for his job. But it is hardly fair TO re-
fer to these would-be grafters as the
public" That is unjust to the public.
And no newspaper should complain OF
the people who seek to secure free no
tices, for To do so is dead give away

II is stated that the Southern Rail-
way is considering the idea Of double
tracking its line from Charlotte to Co.
lumbia.
The anxious time about cotton con-
tinues. The cool nights with their east
winds are not unusual, but they are
nevertheless tryiro
Governor BIease is quoted as saying
that he has not had a more enjoyable
day than that spent at Bethany, for
years. That is not surprising, for it Is
a thing we'll understood throughout
this whole county that those Bethany
people understand how to treat their
guests.
Is it not strange that In this day OF
Democratic liberty. York county cotton
producers cannot even secure the right
to have their cotton weighed for mar
ket by one Of their own sworn repre-
sentatives? York is one Of the few
large cotton producing counties in the
state that has no public weigher.
"a want The Enquirer" said a gen.
tleman Of the Point neighborhood,
Wednesday. I'VE take several papers;
but my wife insists that none Of them
gives the news like The Enquirer, so
Just take the change out Of this ten
dollar bill" Sensible wife, has this
gentleman, and there was no hesita-
ton in telling him so.
The Rock Hill Herald quotes Mr.. ".
B. McFadden. Of Rock Hill, as saying
that York county's mo. 1" automobile,
Cadillac, is still in very good shape,
with the exception that 1t needs new
tires which are difficult to get by rea-
son Of their being of odd size. The ma
chine, however, has not been in use
for quite a while.
Sheriff j. D. b. Mclean has been de-
feated in the Democratic primary for
re- nomination, by Mr.. w. N. Davis, of
Gastonia. There were other candidates
in the race, and Mr.. Davis was nomi-
mated over all Of them. There was
nothing against Mr.. Mclean except
that it is a very difficult thing to be
sheriff more than one term in CASTOR,
and when a man has served two terms.
the people simply demand a change.
Then again, Mr.. Davis, though still
young man less than fifty, was born in
Gastonia, is older than the town itself.
Not only that, he has always treated
the people right and he is very popu-
lar.
In pleasant contrast with the man
who thinks he is advertising to help
the newspaper" was the testimony of
a. gentleman who came into The En-
auirer office Wednesday. called for his
advertising bill amounting to more
than fifty dollars, and drew check
with the remark that he had not paid
an account in years with more satis-
faction for the reason that in not
single incident had he gotten more
value received. 1t is not to be under
stood that this was rare or unusual
case, for so far as we know we have
no advertisers now-a- days who think
they are advertising for other than
strictly business purposes; but all the
same it is pleasant to have an adVer-
tiser saw that he absolutely knows that
he has received the worth OF his
money.

While actually the Panama canal
strip is American territory and will
continue so until somebody takes il
away, theoretically the strip is only
rented. This country pays the Panama
government so much a year for the
strip: but of course everybody under
stands that Panama will never again
exercise authority over this territory.
