Vol.V. EDITORS IN TROUBLE. Because They Accommodate Delinquent Subscribers Uncle Sam Has Say. The following is from the Pub lishers Auxiliary, a newspaper published for the newspaper ped pie: v Special agents of the postofilce department are traveling around the country dropping into news paper offices when least expected to examine subscription lists, to ascertain if the regulations requir ing payment in advance is being observed. Several v. newspapers i have been in trouble, and here is a story told by the Des Moines Capitol: "Editor Fay, of Lyons, Iowa, has been called to Washington city because his subscription list is not as well Daid ud as the law requires. He will have to explain to the government omcials wny ne nas not compelled his subscribers to oav un according to the postal rules. It seems a little tough that country editors nave to oe named up before the government under the charge of violating the Federal law just because they do not eternally keep dunning their sub scribers for the small sum they owe on subscriptions. - but it is like the end of the world; no one knows when it cometh ana an editor knoweth not what day the inspector may pop in ana asK to see the list, and if too many sub scribers are behind on the paper, it means trouble with the govern ment. It puts the editor in such a shane that he is compelled to force his subscriptions unless he has an unusually prompt paying list of subscribers." The Bee, a newspaper published at Jefferson, has been jerked up. This is what the editor said about it: ' . "The Bee this morning received its official summons from the post office department to conform with the rulinsr which requires the pay in advance. We can no longer Bend the paper to aeuquents, no matter how willing we may be to accomodate them. We sometimes question the right of Uncle Sam to interfere in the conduct of legitimate business and we say we shall extend credit if ; we want to, but whether right or wrong we must conform to the regulation It certainly will distress us greatly to cut off good long time patrons who we know intend to pay, out are careless about the matter, and if such really want the Bee, we know they will come to our assist ance and relieve us of. the em barrassment. "It is very dangerous business for a newspaper man to sena pa pers to subscribers who are in arrears. t "To be deprived of second class privileges, which is the penalty of non-compliances witn tne ruling, puts a newspaper out of business for the expense of putting a one cent stamp on every paper mailed amounts to more than the profits on the entire subscription business to sav nothing of the increased amount of labor which is required . in affixing the stamps. : IRON STATION NEWS.

Shelby, Nov. 16 A mysterious- tragedy, in which Mr. James Irvin is dead, occurred near his home at Polkville Tuesday. Mr. Irvin was a progressive farmer and was in the woods with his wagon, hauling leaves for the stable. He came home riding on the wagon in an unconscious con dition, his skull being crushed. For some time it was thought that he had been brutally attack ed and murdered, but after an examination of the wagon tracks, it is now thought that the hub of the wheel lodged against a tree and he got down to press the small tree out When he did the mules jerked and caught his head between the sapling and the wheel. His skull was crushed and his ear was torn off. Somehow he man aged to crawl bacu on the load of leaves and his mules hauled him home in an unconscious condition. Mr. Irvin was one of the leading farmers of the county and the tragedy is most deplorable. The exact manner in which he met the fatal stroke is not known but the above is the accepted theory of the neighbors. He was buried at Big Spring church yesterday and a great crowd attended the funeral. He was a brother of Bev. A. C. Irvin, the venerable Confederate pastor who is so well known throughout the State. ."Somebody Else." Perhaps we think we are pretty busy people, but we are idle com pared with a poor slave whose name is "Somebody Else" When ever an awkward bit of work has to be done, it is sure to be left for her. At a meeting, if the speaker asks for a good collection, people hope that "Somebody Else" may be able to give more than they "can afford to present" If collecting cards or missionary boxes are proposed, a hesitating voice says, "I am ab-;iys glad to do what I can; but as for roltects-; ing, I must leave tr.r.t ku 'Viome body Else.' ""-. 1 'If a bit of practiril self denial: is proposed) , there are excellent reasons given why it should refer solely to "Somebody Else." Now and then, when a meeting is arranged for, so many persons stay at home "to leave a seat for 'Somebody Else' " that the poor creature would need a thousand bodies to fill the reserved seats. If a ringing call to go to the perishing heathen is heard, ten to one "Somebody Else" is put for ward as the very one for the work. Just sit down for five minutes and think. Can you expect this unfortunate"Somebody Else"to do everything? How can she give and collect and deny self and attend meetings and go to the heathen for the hundreds of people who pass their duties on to hert Now, no matter what others do, you let "Somebody Else" have a rest. Give her a well earned holiday, and every time you feel inclined to leave anything for her to do, do it yourself. The Bound Table.

OPPOSED TO CHANGES President Taft Has Other Plans Far Regulating "Big Business" favors Federal Charters Will Not Endorse Amendments To Sherman Anti-Trust Law. An Associated Press dispatch from Washington under date of the 15th says in part: v President Taft is not inclined to approve any amendments to the Sherman anti-trust law unless it becomes apparent that congress will not pass a Federal incorpora tion act. The President indicated this today. Mr. Taft is anxious to have some legislation to clear up the Ct'tua&on for business men so they realise exactly where they stand, but he made it plain that he pre ferred to see the changes m the, regulation of commerce accom plished through Federal charters which could provide for corpora tions certain defined limitations. He let it.be known that should that prove impossible, he would endorse amendments to the Sher man law pointing ou t specifically what "big business" may not do. It is the President's idea that if the Sherman law be amended it should define specifically what con stitutes ofienses against it. Crush ing of competition, combination to ruin competitors or to raise prices and other acts of the kind should be specifically named, in his opin ion. ' President Taft also believes that the amendments, if made, should be frame! so as to make it un necessary for the government to prove that a combination which has come to operate in restraint of trade, originally was intended for that purpose as is now the case. In the Standard Oil suit the De partment of Justice had to begin with the company's record more than thirty years ago and work down to date to prove that the combinations were intended to crush competition.

He enter ed upon a religious talk and finally asked her if she didn't know there was a day of judgement coming. "Why, no," said the old lady. "I hadn't heerd o' that. Won't there be more'n one day!" "No, my friend; only one day," was the reply. "Well, then,"' she mused, "I don't reckon I can get to go, for we're only got one mule, and John always has to go everywhere first."

Gastonia, Nov. 11: The propo sition for the establishment of a farm-life school in Gaston county was defeated in today's election. It is impossible to get detailed re ports from over the county tonight, but sufficient information is at hand to indicate that the majority against it was pretty heavy, per haps three to five hundred. The vote was very light, inclement weather no doubt keeping many away from the polls. Gastonia, percinct number 1, gave a small majority in favor of it. The farmer's vote killed the proposit ion. - Some Not For Sale.
