THURSDAY, AUGUST II, 1922

1t is gratifying to note that the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Clarendon county at meeting Tues
day rescinded its action at a previous
meeting of placing in the primary
the question of retaining the county
agent and the home demonstration
agent of that county. These agen-
cIes are units of the state and feder-
al extension service and are invalu-
able to the various counties Of this
state, or any other for that matter.
A similar resolution was passed by
the Executive Committee of this coun-
ty at its meeting here last week and
it is hoped that it will rescind its
action before the opening of the com-
ty campaign. Extension work in this
county is of an educational nature
and should not be put into politics.

less overproduction, due to chilli la
Dor. the price of cotton haS usually
been forced down-and we have re-
ceived no more for our large cotton
production than we should have re-
ceived for the smaller crops we should
have made if we had sent our chill
dren to school.
We may shut our eyes to the facts
for another hundred years if we wish
to do so-and pay the penalty in
poverty and ignorance and backward
nesS-but sooner or later we have got
to face the truth. "Cheap labor
means cheap cotton"-and ignorant
labor means cheap labor. We have
got to have strict, absolute, thorough
going compulsory attendance laws
effectively enforced for both races.
Only in this way can We % raise
the negro's low living standards
which are 4 menace to the white mans
own standards, and (2) shift more
of the excessive negro population to
other sections and other industries
and thereby relieve the present con-
gestion of negroes il agriculture with
its inevitable lowering of crop prices.

The South's Greatest Blunder.

But while the best public opinion
of other sections now recognizes that
the South had the right to secede,
the best public opinion of the South
also recognizes that it was a mis-
take to exercise that right. All that,
though, is behind US. The blunders
of 1861 cannot now be remedied.
Ever since the Civil War, however,
the South has been making-and is
still making-another blunder that
has cost US even moro than war and
secession ever cost US. We refer to
the failure to properly educate all
our people. We have spent less for
schools, have given boys and girls
shorter school terms, and have been
more indifferent a. to whether chill
dren attended school, than any other
section of America.
In all the rest Of the United states
and in nearly all the rest of the
civilized world, for that MATERIAL
the people are compelled to send their
children to school and give them a
decent education, here in the South
we have gone on saying: eve can't
spare the children from the cotton
feldS"-and it he's been as if curse
of God were on Us in consequence.
For what has bcen the result of
our sending the South'S children to
toll in the fields while all the rest
of Americas children were sent to
school? The result hos been that
our children have worked for nothing.
AS a result Of the constant more-or-

| II SQOulU not De leNNeu. Two uol-
lars seems an ideal price for the
average weekly and many will have
to charge $3.50 a year to break even.
Anything less than $500 for a semi
weekly is suicide.
AS for advertising rates, up to
1000 circulation at least Csc an inch
should be charged, and 30c up to
1000.
A solid front should be presented
against printing free advertising.
That we are still begged to do so is
is part our fault. AS long a por-
tion of the country press of this state
accept and print free any of the ad-
vertising sent in the guise of read
ing matter, so long will we be classed
as easy-marks by the schools and
colleges, the movies, the rich auto
mobile and tire manufacturers, the
various benevolent drives" the civil
service and governmental agencies,
and the thousand and one other
propaganda manufacturers. For the
same matter many of these pay the
city papers full rates, and it seems
to be a fact that no other business
or profession is asked by them to
give up their bread and butter but
the country newspaper.
There are two ways of charging
for advertising, the sliding scale and
the fiat rate. use the latter. 1t is
not complicated. Any customer can
estimate for himself the exact cost
of running an ad. 1t is 4 fallacy
that you should give reduction to
the man that uses i thousand inches.
That thousand inches OF white space
costs you just us much per inch to
produce as ten inches, for instance.
The moment you commence to give
discounts you no longe-' have 4 fiat
rate and complications ensue- Oft.
times you are left holding the bag
on uncompleted contracts. Give the
advertiser the best possible you can.
Try and make each ad bring results.
But stick to your rate card. | kno"
of some papers that completely FIJI
the last page with ads N order to
carry more reading on other pages.
l think this a mistake. Carrying
short locals on one page, Brevities on
another and Personals on a third all
help distribute to the readers interest
and consequently help the advertis-
srs.
In closing | would stick to what
you know to be right. You have
something to sell and you should
know what it is worth. When you
give in to one advertiser you have
spilled the beans. BY ten minutes
talk he has made ten dollars and he
has poorer opinion of you in the
bargain. Hire the best help you can
get, pay them we'll and demand good
service. Besides a salary for your
services as manager you are entitled
to fair profit on the business. But
before you have taken it your books
should show a reserve for deprecia-
ton. The paper that goes back to
pre-war prices is digging its own
grave, for it cannot survive.

ADVERTISING RATES.

At the South Carolina Press AS
sociation which met in July, 1921,
w. L. WaShbuln, editor Of the Jour
nal and Review, of Aiken, read a
good article on this very important
subject, but one little appreciated
and understood by the public. He.
said:
1t took the great war to kick the
country newspaper up on a business
basis. II is useless to go into par
ticularS as to how it was done. We
can see now, with clever hlndSight,
that Our papers were formerly pric-
ed too ,ow; that we sold advertising
space al less than cost; that our job
work was practically given away,
and that all we ever got cut Of our
business besides our mere bread and
butter was the chance to ride on a
"free" pass, or walk into a circus or
show without stepping ct the box
office. True, some-"think" they
made profit in those days, but who
among such could show substantial
depreciation fund for replacement of
wornout type and machinery.
The war gave a good start toward
making business men Of US; but the
war is now over, thank God, and the
question before US is: Shall we con-
tinue the good work or drop back
into the old easy-going ruts?
To my mind the country newspa-
per has glorious future. Properly
run it fills want no daily can ever
supply. 1t is distinctly a home pa
per and is now recognized by nation
al advertisers as being the best me-
dium for reaching their ultimate con-
sumers. All we have to do is to
keep a stiff upper lip, show by facts
and figures that we have the same
right to live and prosper as any
business, and that no one has any
more right to tell US what we shall
charge for our goods than we have
to tell them what they shall charge
for theirs.
First we must know our cost and
then add fair profit. Competition
is now on a fairer basis. The dead
wood has been weeded out. 1t used
to be easy to start paper. Fifty
dollars and a shoe string would do
it. But today it is different. The
complicated machines that are nee
sssary require capital; and expert
labor is needed to operate them.
These machines gradually wear out
and our charges must take care of
their upkeep and replacement. Our
labor must be paid a living wage
and then some, or it will seek better
fields; cheap labor is dear at any
price.
Next to labor our big item of ex-
pense is print paper. That has great
ly increased in price and is not like
ly to come down to any extent. In
stead of basing our business on pa
per at $50 a ton We may expect 1t
to remain around 500 ton for
some time to come. And this pro-
portion of increased expense holds
good in everything that enters into
the production of our papers: ma
chinery, repairs and parts, inks, Ia
Dor and type.
Now as to the subscription price;
the dollar weekly has about disap-
peared from the face of the earth

SETTLING COURT CASE
(ey The Associated Press,

WILSON, N. c., March 25-Be-
Heving in the proverb that Chick
ems will come home to roost," Mayor
Killette in the city court here to-
day settled a dispute over the own
ership OF one large dominicker
rooster in a novel way. Liler
Thompson swore out a warrant
against Annie Graham, both ne
sroes, charging that the latter had
stolen her rooster. Each women
presented seven witnesses who de-
clared that the fowl was the prop
erty of the respective contenders.
The mayor, remembering the an
cient proverb, ordered Chief of Po-
lice Warren to place the rooster
midway between the homes of the
women at sundown. The dominick-
er hit a bee-line to Liler's chicken
house and made himself perfectly
at home on the roost with the other
chickens. Mayor Killette decreed
tonight that Annie Pay the costs of
the action.

MUST NOT JUCCLE
RHINE ARMY COTS
u. S. Sends Supplemental Note
in Plain Language to the
Five Great Powers.
tHy The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
American government has sent TO the
allied powers another note supple
mental TO that recently dispatched and
designed 10 support its claim for
equality with those powers in the pay
ment Of costs arising from the Rhine
land occupation. The new note, copies
of which were presented today by the
British, French, Italian, Belgian and
Japanese governments by American
diplomatic officials in the capitals of
those nations, declared that whether
or not there should be a deficit in the
French account for its occupation
army costs as of May 1, 1921, the
claim for equality on the part of the
United states would not thereby be
affected.
The American government in its
supplemental note in words charac-
terized by one official as plain IL not
notified the allied govern
ments that no juggling of bookkeep-
ing es regards the Rhineland occupa-
ton costs will deter the United States
from pressing what is considers just
claim.

TREATY
SUPPLEMENT IN
SENATE SNARL
tey rhe AssoeIatea Press,

WASHINGTON, March The
four power Pacific treaty and it's two
supplements got into such a mix-up in
the senate today that the administra-
tion ratification program temporarily
was tied in a knot.
Challenging the validity of yester-
days action by which the four power
pact itself was ratified, opponents of
the treaty suggested that the vote be
reconsidered so that tn qualification
could include the supplementary inter
pretative agreement signed by the
plenipotentiaries at the same time.
Most of the leaders proposed instead
8 separate ratification vote on the sup
plement. Such a separate resolution
of ratification was in process OF draft
ing when the senate adjourned over
Sunday.
Treaty opponents said the supple
ment deals with issues which have
long been sources OF friction between
the United States and Japan. 1t de-
clares it to be understanding OF the
signatories that the treaty shall apply
to inundated islands in the Pacific, and
that purely domestic questions shall
not be brought before the four-power
conference.
The question Of Japanese immigra-
tion was mentioned as a domestic"
American question which might be a
fruitful source OF trouble. Senator's on
both sides agreed that no doubt should
be left that the American government
retains full power to deal with the
subject as it sees fit, or Japan might
claim the privilege OF referring the
whole immigration problem Of the Pa
cific coast to a meeting Of the powers
Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkan-
sas, offered an amendment to exclude
also the Island of Sakhalin, but Meth
er the geographical supplement nor the
proposed amendment to it was men
toned thereafter in the days debate.
