AN EDITOR'S LIFE.
A Haman Machine That Knows No Snob Wort aa
THE RESULT IN OHIO-JT IS A DEM
OCRATIC VICTORY.
When Grover Cleveland was
nominated by the democrats at Chi
cago, i* was distinctly understood
that Ohio was an acknowledged re
publican state, and our party enter
tained not the slightest hope of vic
tory in it. A lew sanguine demo
cratic papers intimated that we
would carry it last Tuesday, but the
Banner-Watchman has never, for
an instant, entertained such an idea.
We always said that with an ordi
nary vote of 500,000, anything less
than 20,000 majority for the repub
licans would be a democratic victo
ry. Ohio undoubtedly has
republican majority of 35,000, and
every vote tiiat we can cut under
this is a clear democratic gain
Therefore, on Tuesday last, when
the state polled her full strength of
.Soo,ooo votes, and in view of the
fact that tiie united power of the
republican party was centred upon
this one spot; that money was lav
ishly spent; that all the machinery
of the government was set to work
in the interest of the radical
ticket; that Blaine had twice stump
ed the state—and still they only
succeeded in carry ing !i by from
15.000 to 20,000, we can but claim
th.it electrii n as a giand triumph
lor Cleveland and democracy. It
was certainly a close shave for the
republicans, and we have now
strong hopes that next month, when
they will he forced to di
vide their strength, that Ohio will
go for Cleveland and Hendricks.
We say it is unfair, even had Ohio
given a much larger republican ma
jority-, to claim that the result will
have any bearing [upon the
democratic party. As well had we
hold Georgia’s recent vote up as an
argument against Blaine. New
York and Indiana are the two
pivotal states, and they are as sure
go democratic in November as are
Georgia and Texas. But the recent
vote in Ohio does establish one
fact—that there is a serious break
in the (icrn.au vote that will insure
to us several douhttul western
states. Had these people gone
solidly with tiie republican party,
with that unprecedentedly large
vote they would have rolled up a
majority near 100,000. The Irish,
we see, knifed the democratic ticket
fearfully, and it was the honest and
loyal Germans so valliantly
saved us the day. With their
aid we can hid defiance to
Tammany and its horde of polit
ical parasites that have, more than
once sucked the very life-blood from
the democratic party and then sold
its corpse to the enemy. The staid
and reliable German vote gave us
a victory in Ohio. They will also
carry for us New York, Indiana,
Michigan and Wisconsin. The re
publican party is in its death throes,
and its adherents know it. If, with
ail their concentrated power and
money they came so near a deteat
in one of their strongholds, what
hope have they in November, when
their work must he distributed
throughout the Union? The democ
racy have but two points to guard
—New York and Indiana—while
the republicans are threatened on
every side. The tight is now in
Indiana and New York, and there
is every index of a democratic suc
cess. The grand ovation tendered
Gov. Cleveland in the latter state
last Wednesday, shows that he is
the people's candidate, independent
of party lir.es. Hendricks is the
idol of Indiana, and her citizens
have never denied him recognition.
The increased democratic majority
iu West Virginia shows the repub
licans the folly of their threat to
break the Solid South, and the re
sult intuses new confidence into our
Northern allies. Wisconsin, Cali
fornia, Michigan and New Hamp
shire are decidedly more probable
for the democrats than Ohio was.
New Jersey and Connecticut are
almost certain. Thus it will be seen
that we lose no more in failing to
carry Ohio than the republicans do
in not gelling West Virginia, be
cause both are, respectively, repub
lican and democratic states. We
say to the democrats, be of good
cheer. Our political skies were
never brighter, and we feel not a
shadow of doubt but Cleveland anti
Hendricks will be successful in No
vember.

When a subscriber picks up his
paper in the morning, and after
scanning the contents casts it aside
with some contemptuous remark
about there being nothing in it
again, little does he know the care
and labor that perhaps its editor has s ) ee p over jts prospected hotel
taken to furnish even the scant news I
that morning given his patrons.
This ’ is particularly the case in a
small place like Athens, when the
entire editorial work devolves upon
one man, and it is rare for anything
out of the usual routine to occur.
Take for instance the fife lead by
the Editor of the Banner-Watch
man, and then tell us if there is a
more trying or laborious existence
on earth! We reach our office at
7 o’clock in the morning, when we
find a half-dozen printers waiting

lay our first duty is to dash off a col-1
umn of editorial, without giving our j
subject one moment’s thought, or
even having time to revise or
read it until the article is in type. If
we ever attempt to map out an ar
gument in our mind before taking
pencil in hand, it is an invariable
failure, and editors soon learn that

A TALK WITH BUSBIN.
“Do you know that man standing
near the butcher wagon?” remarked
Turner Moon, as he pointed out a
lean, lank countryman to a Banner-
Watchman reporter.
We informed Policeman Moon
that we did not have the pleasure
of his acquaintance, and from his
appearance we did not think he
was capable of creating nulch of a
stir in this world.
“There is where appearances
fool you,” said the policemen. “That
is Ben Busbin, one of the men be
longing to the Kelly gang, who op
erated in this section several years
ago. Although he don't look very
well, yet he can see a bird fiy a mile
off. lie has an eye like a hawk’s
and will fight a circular saw. If
there is anything desperate to be
done, Ben Busbin will doit. I have
had some ups and downs with him
myself, and know whereof I speak.”
Policeman Moon called Ben up
and opened up a conversation with
him.
••I was never with the Kelly
boys much, although I got the
credit of doing some of their most
daring deeds.” remarked Busbin.
“I have served seven years in the
penitentiary for night burglary, and
helped to build your North-Eastern
railroad. My brother was with
them in Alabama, when the Kellys
weie captured. I never traveled
with them much. Charles Kelly,
who is now serving out a life sen
tence at Joe Brown’s coal mine, is
the gamest man in Georgia. He
don't value a man's fife one bit, and
will get out of tie chain gang it
possible.”
“Were you ever shot?” we in
quired.
“There are no holes in my body,
although I have been in some pret
ty bad places. I nevez was hit by a
bullet yet. I am nonr farming near
W.nterville, and am try ing to lead a
better life I hope to outlive my
being in the chain gang. Charles
Kelly is too brave a man to be in
the penitentiary, and would make a
good citizen if he was out.”
Policeman Arnold asked Busbin
whether he was with the Kellys
the night his mule and horse was
stolen; but Ben said that he was in
South Carolina at the time, and
was brought back and tiied for the
offence, and came clear. From
Bushin’s present appearances he
don’t seem very dangerous, and
looks as if he weuld not sin any
more.
THE STATE CONVICTS.
A Walking Skeleton.
Mr. E. Springer, of Jlechanicsburg,
l‘a; writes: “I was afflicted with lung
fever and abscess on limes, and reduced
to a inalking Skeleton. Got a free trial
bottle of Ur. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption which did me so much
good that I bought a dollar bottle. Afler
using three bottles, found myself ouee
more a man, completely restored to to
lieaph, with a hearty appetite, and a
gain in flesh of 48 Ihs,” Call at K. T,
brumby and A Co.’s Drug Slore and get
a free trial bottle of ibis certain cure for
all Lung Diseases. Large bottle ft.00.
We to-day publish an interview
with Senator Smith,of Oglethorpe,
in regaid to the lenre and profit of
the state convicts. While we have
nlwuys condemned in Mr. hunith
or any one else what we consider
wrong, at the same time we never
withhold merited commendation
and a fair showing when they are
assailed. In justice to Mr. Smith
w e will reiterate that his convicts
arc humanely and kindly treated,
and if nil the camps in the state
were managed as is his, no change
in the condition of the prisoners
should be demanded or desired.
But we cannot too severely con
demn such letsees as Lockett, end
hope that the next Legislature will
investigate the system to the bot
tom and make such changes us hu
manity and the honor of Georgia
demands. We do not think that
the lease cun be legally broken,
the convicts can be taken ftom any
lessee violating his contract and
given to a inun who have some
regard lor the common law* of hu
manity. 11ns issue will and should
be made and we believe that a
thorough ovcihauling ol the con
vict sy sum ol Georgia will be the
result.
Another crank has created a sen
sation at Washington. An old,
gray .headed man, dressed in a long,
blue coat, fastened sround the
waist with a piece of rope, went up
to the White House on Monday,
carrying a huge wicker basket, a
bundle of very largeibullrushes, a
spade, and a new axe. He said
the basket contained egg plants for
the President, the axe to kill the
G. O. P. with, the spade to dig its
grave with, and the bullrushes to
decorate its last resting place. He
was refused admission to the man
sion, and became so violent in his
conduct that a detective was tele
phoned for, and the old gent was
carried to the station house and fur
nished with a night’s lodging at
the expense of the government. It
is time for the grand old party to go
when cranks want to kill it with an
axe and decorate its grave with
bullrushes.

quires practice, and an editor can
get every particle o! news from a
dozen papers while any one else is
starting on one. Often the articles
we select must be remodeled and
condensed, which requires time and
care. Then comes the work of fill
ing our local" columns. This is a
most important feature, for we fully
realize the fact that our subscribers
expect something, and they must be
satisfied. We dash out on the
streets in an eager search for
news. The same old scene
presents itself. There ate a
few wagons on the street,
the sprinkler is on its rounds, but a
fearful calmness pervades the city.
The police report nothing doing.
Our ears and eyes are stretched 10
catch something that can be tortur
ed into an item. After around of a
half hour or more we return again
to our sanctum with perhaps a half
dozen little pointers as the result of
our search. We then send forth
our book-keeper to see what he can
discover. He returns with a dark
brow and sarcastically riports that
a grave-yard would be a regular
circus rir.g beside the streets of
Athens to-day. In the meantime
proof-sheets are being brought in.
and every line in the paper must be
carefully read twice over to correct
the errors. Often in the middle ot
a lengthy article this interruption is
made, and we must put tiie brakes
upon our chain ot thoughts to re
sume after an interval of fifteen or
twenty minutes. Then, again, visi
tors are constantly dropping in,
some to subscribe and others to pay
a friendly call. We have no time to
stop our work, but must divide our
mind, and while discussing “the
craps” with some old granger, our
pencil is rapidly inditing a political
editorial. Journalists soon learn to
accomplish these two things at once,
and a dozen men talking to them at
once does not in the slightest inter
fere with their work. We
have no time to go to dinner,
but this meal is sent
and eaten in our office.
Thus from 7 in the morning until
4:30 in the atternoon there is a con
stant draft upon our brain and time.
Then there are certain business in
terests to look after, a great bundle
of letters to read and have answer
ed by every mail, advertisements to
contract for and a thousand and one
interruptions that only a newspa
per man knows. But at 4:30 we
have our first relaxation from busi
ness. We have a couple ot hours
to sit around the stores, returning to
the sanctum at intervals to read
and correct the proofs. But even
then there is no rest for our tired
mind. We are on tht constant
lookout for something to help out
our columns on the morrow, when
the same old routine must be gone
through with again. Every word
spoken in our presence is analyzed
with the hope that samething can
be distilled from it to form a local.
Everything works smoothly enough
when an editor feels well; but there
are often times when his every
nerve is unstrung, his brow throbs
with pain or his skin is parched
with fever. These are the times
that bear hardest upon him. There
is no rest. The paper must be is
sued on the morrow, and the pub
lic expect news whether there is
any or not. So like a horse in the
bark mill he must grind, grind,
grind. Olten have we felt like we
would freely give half our worldly
goods for but a few Jiours rest and
quiet, but there is no rest until a
certain number of columns are fill
ed and our alloted task finished.
Never did slave look forward ;o
the holy Sabbath with more expect
ant joy than an editor on a daily
paper. It is the one day in the
week when he can lay aside all
business cares and get that rest his
brain and system so urgently de
mands. The ministers think hard
of we editors for not attending di
vine services regularly, while the
Christian world considers us but
little better than heathens. But
little do they know the great pleas
ure that free out-door exercise and
communing with nature gives. We
are bowed down to our desk all the
week, and to exact even one hour
of our precious Sabbath as a sacri
fice of pleasure that it requires a
nerve of unusual determination to
give. Like an imprisoned bird re
leased from its cage, he tries to get
all the relief from his holiday that
can be drawn. An editor on a daily
paper is a machine that is kept
constantly grinding until some day
his brain refuses to work, bis hand
falls palsied on tbe caper, and he is
then cast aside to to give place to a
younger man, who will reach the
same doom sooner or later. There
are pleasures connected with the
life of an editor, as also its trials, but
his path is not always strewn with
roses, as some people imagine.
