If there was ever a time whet, what is termed the “aristocracy o. money' had a foothold in the south, tha' time has passed, and the new order o tilings calls for laborious effort on tic part of all her citizens to restore rut ■ waste places and inaugurate new enterprises. There tire comparative!;, few soft places, so to speak, hut the num bers who seek to till them are hy far too large, halior, to he successful, should have a specific tendency. Every me should lit himself or herself for some particular line of duty according to bent of mind and physical qualification. .laek- at-all-lrades and good at none is an un wise policy, and generally keeps the individual lloundering about without settled purpose. Such a person lives from hand to mouth, and achieves little of value. According to town talk three of the easiest things in the world to do is (1; to meddle with the business of others, pj) to edit ti newspaper, (dj to preach the gospel. Let us examine and analyze briefly these easy jolts. Xu one has any right to know any more of his neighbor’s business than concerns himself or the general good of society. The social scavenger who iH eternally prying into the affairs of others with a view to meddling with tilings which do not concern him is a public nuisance and should he abated. The person who attends to his own business well will find quite enough to do and will avoid much of the unpleasantness which the meddlers inflict upon them selves. As to editing a paper, that is a matter that everybody could attend to better than the man who does it. Thousands of piH iple who cannot write a grammatical sentence, arrogate to themselves immense abilities and wonder why they were not called to such a flowery Held of thought and action- the stepping stone to fame, and an open sesame to fortune. Many very intelligent persons also hold very erroneous \iews as to the requirements of une enelmted Elysium on the back of a fiery lV.gasstis, the newspaper man ol’tener finds himself battling with poverty and confronted by unfriendly criticism. There is no field of labor which calls for better energies or more untiring effort. Editors are not born, they are made, and that by a long and tedious process of education in the varied and responsible duties of their calling. No profession requires more energy and adaptability, more of common sense and broad and liberal views than that of the men who plant their names tit the masthead of the mod ern newspaper. And now for the poor preacher. Next to the editor he comes in fur the most of the world’s unfriendly criticism and un just censure. The unversed critics think there is nothing so easy as preuching.and I meet out their unstinted comments upon ] tiie deficiencies of the clergy. "I could preach a better | sermon myself,” "lie has no ability and but wil d- ! 110 religion,” “All be wants is the money” | and so on to the end of the chapter. These and other equivalent phrases can he heard from week to week, and Sunday tu Sunday. They are unjust and harsh, and belittling to the people who use I them. The men of Hod. who are sincere in their views and aims, occupy the must responsible of all vocations, and often de plore thcii want of fitness in all its bear ings. No vocation requires better abili- i ties nor more of arduous toil and sclf- I denying efl'ort. It cannot be classed as ■ one of the easy jolw, and as a rule the pecuniary benefit is lmt proportionate to ! the \\ iirk. ally in the hands of his friends.” Presuming this to be a fact, ttflon what grounds can stteh a complaint be based Are not the friends of Mr. Harris right here in the districtIf they are to con trol Mr. Harris’ candidacy, have they not just as many priviliges and an equal showing with the candidates who tire it the field? It is hardly probable that an;, will question this. Then where arise the grounds for complaint that “tin short time allowed will greatly emba - inss M r 11 arris ?"

The Marion County Patriot wants the En quirer-Sun to “throw its ponderous weight from off the fence long enough to say that to take the convicts from the lessees and put them at work on the public roads of our state is a prominent plank in the platform upon which Bacon stands.” If the Patriot will furnish us with the platform, and a magnifying glass strong enough to see it, we take pleasure in in forming our cotemporary thatweareof an ac commodating disposition.
