WHY IL THIS?

We have for many years past no
ticed the very undesirable feature in
the attendance OF the public school
in the highest grades, viz: There are
as a rule many more girls attending
than boys Why is this? Where are
tn" boys? They leave school many
of them. IN their early or middle
teens as soon as they are able to get
n position as clerk in some store or
Office under the impression that
they are wasting time by remaining
in school longer. The average boy
thinks that if he gets some business
position that will enable him to earn
few dollars month. and that
looks towards his final occupation
in life, while his classmates stick To
school three or four years longer .
he has just 50 many years the start
OF his companions who remain in
school. Now the real facts in the
case are that the reverse of this IS
the truth. The boy who remains in
school and acquires thorough ed
ucation lays a foundation that will
surely, other thing be ng equal. en-

ABOUT ADVERTISING.

Advertising is legitimate part
of newspapers stock in trade, and
something to be paid for like any
other commodity. Some persons in
every community need education OF
this subject
The more rural the locality the
the more contracted the ideas of the
liberty to ask for free advertising
that shall contribute to something
which he is interested in. Thus it
often happens that people will re-
quest a notice of their entertain,
ment out Of which they propose to
make money. provided they can get
the notice without paying for it,.
The chances are that the persons
asking such favors of a newspaper
have been to some other printing
office to get their circulars and their
tickets printed-not for nothing,
however. They can understand
that the advertising which the cir
culars and such afford is to be paid
for, but they do not fully compre-
hend why a newspaper should not
notice and benefit their speculat on
without charging for it, These re-
marks are preliminary to the state
ment Of business principle which
prevails in all regulated newspaper
offices. and which is based on princi-
ever newspaper publishes that is
calculated to put money into the cof-
fers of an individual or to further
the interest of his business in any
way, the newspaper is entitled to
pay for its service. That is the long
and short OF the principle. A news
paper must have a revenue from its
advertising just as much as the
baker must have pay for his bread.
This one is as much stock in trade
as the other and in large cities this
is well understood and every bit or
space in the city papers is we'll paid
for 1t is undoubtedly true that i'll
some small places in the country.
feeble newspapers yield to the kind
places there are always persons who
think the whole newspaper estab.
lishment is at their beck and com.
mand if they take one copy nf the
paper.

GOVERNOR SIGNS THE
NEW TELEGRAPH ACT
Wire Companies Must Use Intra
State Lines and the Most
Direct Route.

Columbia, S. c., May 15.-Gov-
ernor Cooper has signed the act,
passed at the last session of the gen.
eral assembly, requiring telephone
and telegraph companies to trans
NIT all messages originating in this
State for deliverey in the borders
of South Carolina over the most di-
rect routes. An effort was made on
Governor Cooper to veto the bill. be-
cause Of it's alleged unconstitution-
ality and the excessive amounts nee
essary to be expended by the wire
companies to make it's provisions
operative.
When he signed the bill Governor
Cooper gave out the following state
ment:
Il am in grave doubt as to the
constitutionality OF this act, but
since there is a doubt / feel that /
should solve that doubt in favor Of
the act. and let the courts decide the
question.
1T was urged before me that 1t
would be great hardship on the
telegraph companies to transmit all
intrastate messages wholly within
the state. My construction of the
act is that a telegraph company is
required to transmit messages orig
mating and state for transmission to
any other the most practical route.
If there is no practical route Who'll
ly within the state between the point
of origination and the point OF de-
livery / have no doubt that such
company would have a right to
transmit the message by some prac-
tical route without the state. The
act, therefore. when properly con-
strued, will require telegraph
company to transmit and deliver
messages wholly within the state
where they have n practical route
for such delivery"
The following is the text OF the
act:
general assembly of South Carolina
a message delivered to a telegraph
or telephone company within this
state for transmission to any other
point within this state shall be as
a matter OF fact, and regarded as a
matter of law, as and for an intra-
state transaction. and shall be trans
mitted by such company by the most
direct and practical route within the
state.
Sec >. That for any violation
of this act said corporation shall be
subject 10 a renalty of $500 for
ea"h violation, to be recovered by

RIGHT to do business in this state.

"STCMP RUM"

ly "speritS" which has been desig-
mated as stump rum" We are not
familiar with the whyfore of the
name. unless it should have come
from the practice said to be in
vogue around Fayetteville. \. c.,
several years ago. after the state Of
North Carolina went dry, when a GER
tain stump out in the suburbs OF the
Tar Heel city was silent blind
tiger" Or words to that effect: we
heard it, The story went that the
thirsty walked out or drove out as
the case might be. to certain sec
tion where a tree had been sawed
down leaving a perfectly fiat surface
on the stump. Liquor in those DAYS
didn't come at eight dollars a quart.
And man was supposed to put
half dollar on the stump and walk
away. If he remained away. out
OF sight and out Of hearing for the
time necessary, he found on return
that The half dollar had turned to
pint of liquor Nobody sold it to
him. he didn't even see anybody
But he got what he went after.
Maybe this is how the stun down in
Georgia comes to be called stump
rum" We don't know
But it has come to pass in these
arid times that the making of liquor.
a process the knowledge of which
heretofore has been confined to
few. is becoming more and more an
art to be sought by the high and the
low in ever-incrcasing numbers.
They say. nowadays, that the stuff
can be made on the kitchen stove.
and The News is informed that this
is not propaganda sent out by the
manufacturers of stoves for advcr-
ually done right in the kitchen.
and II is said. furthermore, that the
stuff manufactured right in the
Kitchen has the kick that the aver
age thirsty man seeks, even a little
more than he expects. We doubt it.
We don't believe liGuor can be made
on the kitchen stove: we don't be
lieve a man who doesn't know how
proper utensils made for the pur-
pose.
And, liquor made on the kitchen
stove. if liquor can be made on the
kitchen stove. is liquor. just the
same as the stuff you bring from
Baltimore is liquor, and if the au,
thorities find you making it on the
kitchen stove or on the heater in the
front room. or find it in your posse
sion. no matter where it was made
or who made it, it is good night for
you
The safest plan is to cut it out en-
tirely. It's against the law and the
law is going to be enforced with an
increasing degree of rigidity If
you go TO making liquor in the
kitchen. you're going to get caught
sooner or later. and it wouldn't be
nice to spend a while in Jail these
hot summer months. Furthermore
the season is about over. It's too
hot now to drink liquor. You al
woys did cut it out in the summer
time and take beer instead. The
only difference now is that you
can't have either.

 Singleton, where the party were serv- ed dinner, the genial roadhouse man although taken unaware, setting up splendid meal without delay or confusion. Some members of the party then mushed to a point near the mouth of Lignite creek, wifere they viewed the beautiful scenery and consumed a considerable tme in an attempt to count the innumer- able coal lodges exposed to view or
 the mountain sides in all directions The Lignite district,in the opinion
 of the excursionists is an ideal place for picnics and excursion par ties, and there is already talk of arranging a big outing, which will include a barbecue. for the Fist of June Within a few miles of the right of way, on the Kantishna side, are great mountains, snow capped and jagged, where mountain sheep abound Frequently it is possible to see sheep from the top of the hill, just back of the Lignite roadhouse, and it is comparatively short hike to the hunting grounds On the other side of the Nenana river. one may ascend Lignite creek, where the mountains on both sides and much of the creek bottom have much the appearance of being solid coal, so numerous and large are the coal veins exposed to view. There is also some placer gold mining on this stream. The Healy river, not far distant, is another place of scenic beauty and a short distance  farther up the Nenana valley is the the wonderful Nenana Canyon, than which there is no more picturesque spot in Alaska In fact, the entire region is pronounced by those who have seen it's wonders, to be equal to Switzerland, and the many other tourist-attracting countries com bined. And it is much easier of access.
