The Lincolnton Mew suya that

no cash to buy with, are anxious to

0^" Many of our exchanges have
lately been complaining on aocouut of
the irregularity of the mails. They
say that their (subscribers are contiu-
ally writing to them that they do not
reeeiye their papers, while their own
mails are continually failing to come to
band. This fits our case exactly, for
we do not receive our mail matter with
any degree of regularity—indeed, we
never know when to expect a mail from
any quarter when brought by railroad.

We have for a long time seen our

CMcle »»» Constitutionalist
Augusta, Ga.
The Chronicle A Constitutionalist is rapidly
approaching the completion of the first century
of existence. The paper we publish is essential
lv a type of modern progress, which demonstra
tes that this established journal has become bet
ter and stronger as it increases in years. The
men who have, from one generation to another,
worked upon It, and helped to make it a power
in the land, submit, and will submit, to the com
mon lot of humanity, and pass away from this
earth and its struggles, but the result of their la
bor remains, an .1 will continue to remain. The
workmen die, but the work goes on.
The Chronicle enters the new year with excep
tional advantages. Its daily edition is a well-fill-
ed eight-page paper. Its second edition, for the
evening mails, is eight pages, with the afternoon
markets and telegraphic reports. It takos the
place of the tri-weokly edition. Its mammoth
weekly paper will compare with any in the coun
try. Into this edition the choicest and creamiest
news of the week is collected, and upon its lap
the best and freshest editorial and miscellane
ous matter from the daily is poured. Its market
reports, covering nearly one page, will be an
especial feature, prepared each week for the
country reader.
Its newsservice will sustained by trained and
scholarly correspondents, in the three capitals—
Atlanta, Columbia and Washington—while it will
strive to have a news representative in every
neighboring town.
The mall facilities ol this paper are now superb
Four daily trains distribute its editions in South
Carolina and three in Georgia. It reaches all the
principal points in South Carolina early on the
day of publication, reaching Columbia at 11 a m.
The fast mail schedule of the Georgia Railroad
lands the Chronicle and Constitutionalist in all
towns along the line early iu the forenoon, while
its issue is unfolded in Atlanta aud Athens by
noon each day.

of “More Cotton,” silence ceases to be
Vrtue, and we pronounce such au act
downright roguery, neithei do we care
to continue an exchange of courtesies
with a journal capable of such manners
A newspaper, be it small or great, is
always entitled to credit for its original
articles, and its intentional omission is
not only a breach of courtesy, but may
be classed as the meanest ot all petty
larcenies. And right here we wish to
remark that the Atlanta Constitution
and Macon Telegraph are the most par
ticular journals to give their exchanges
credit on our list, and for this they
hive the respect of all their country
contemporaries.
