I gin, undone* did service in the
office of the Smithville News. Lee
county, this State, writes F. L.
Staunton in the Constitution. The
date of its birth is lost in antiqui-
ty, but there has never been any
doubt in the minds of the editors
; who have manipulated it, that, it
was old enough to know better.
It is a cross between the hand
I press invented by Washington
and a neglected cornsheller, and
and is curiously inscribed with
tne desperate and hieroglyphics edit- of
ancient, long creaked, suffering with
ers. Its joints as
the rheumatism, and when the
paper went to press it had a way
of falling down and so mixing up
the railroad schedules that the
trains never knew what time to
leave. Every blacksmith in the
county has exhausted his skill
upon it, and it has been patched
and prayed over until it is a mere
remnant of its former self. When
Sherman passed through Georgia
to the sea, his men used
of it for battering rams; but when
be started to print a few official
orders on it., it proved its loyalty
to a lost cause by falling down
and distributing the type all
the room, It has been burned
out six times, and in the earth¬
quake of 188t)it was dismembered
and thrown on the railroad
where it wrecked the cannon-ball
train five minutes afterwards,
Tlie sheriff lias levied on it twen-
ty times, only to pay tbe editor
to take it back, and from the
perch it used to occupy in
lowlands of Lee it overlooked the
graves of fourteen editors, and
old and ailing as it is, it is (lea-
tined to go rumbling down the
corridors of time as long as an ed
itor needs groceries.
'
The Country Newspaper.
Below we give a few of the
pithy sayings of Montgomery
Folsom in the Atlanta Journal on
Country Nmvspapers and Editors:
The life of the flesh is in the
blood. Tbe life of tbe land is in
the country newspaper. It is al-
ways well edited because
man, woman and child in the
town takes a baud in the editing.
It is the champion of all sorts
reforms, and is privileged to
jurnp on anything it pleases out-
side the town limits where it is
published.
The country newspaper is u
great power because it points out
the iniquities and shortcomings
of rival towns, and keeps people
from the habit of believing
theirs is tbe most desirable place
of existence in the universe.
Tbe country newspaper is like
a watchman on tbe wall, and
nothing escapes its keen and crit¬
ical vision. It is a compendium
of fact fun and philosophy. Whom
it would destroy it first makes
mad. It is a dangerous thing t „
get mad with tbe editor. He has
claws in ins bind feet and call
get a “fellow coming and get him
agwine”
Some editors are gifted
wonderful versatillity. I know
of one who not only edits his pa¬
per, but is postmaster, is a
preacher , having , . charge , of , ,
country churches, is mayor of the
to-wn, a temperance orator of tho
most terrible sort, and is conteu-
.dating a race for the. ‘egts ature
to utilize his spare turn, lie is
also a farmer and agent for tlie
ates odi ion of a patent, churn.
The country editor contributes
more to the building ot cliurclies
and school bouses than any other
individual in town. Whereas the
S-
the .. editor columns , _
1Z ives many or
space that is worth ten cents a
line, home politicians are born
great, some achieve greatness
and otlrors go through the world
thinking they are a darned sight
greater than they really are. but
the greatest of all is the editor.
It has been demonstrated by ac¬
tual and incontrovertible evidence
that the sanctum of a country ed¬
itor will produce more beats than
ten acres of tbe nest beet land in
Germany. But the editor is a
generous heart cuss, aiql never lias the
to turn any away who ap-
peal to him with their specious
schemes.
When 1 ran a country uewspa-
per I taught, my family to do the
vegetarian act during the »IIU1 .
uior mouths, and iu winter when
hog killing time came around 1
encouraged carniverousness. in
early spring i bad a turnip sallel
patch iu the rear of theotfice, and
the result was that we waxed tat
and were always on the crest of
the wave. During that period
nearly f forgot _ .* \ how , money looked. ill
but i u 1 i bad umt HD u) many man,. other ,„w Tuili^ .»,,,

a luxurious fi>uri>]u>, * * Thev onlv

pleaded professional ethics to get
out of telling where tbe corn li-
quor came from on which my fore-
man and I were wont to make the
welkin rine. 1 paid my poll tax the
with a year’s subscription working to the
paper, and got out of
road by publishing the overseer’s
notices free. I have never en¬
joyed life quite so much as dur¬
ing these halcyon days, and I
have a tender spot ih my heart
for the country editor.

A Sanctification Band.
A correspondent from Raleigh,
N. (J., to the Wilmington Mes-
setiger says: received
Governor Russell has a
stirring appeal to come tolhc res¬
cue and drive from the State the
vile “sanctification nd” which
has afflicted the eastwn counties.
The letter says:
“We beg you to stop violators
of the laws of God and man,which
are disturbing tbe good people of
our section. There is a band
among us known as the’Lynch-
ites' going about, in wliat they
call ‘arks,’ or floats; and who are
teaching the people that, no mat¬
ter what they do so long as they
| are ‘sanctified’ it is no sin. The
result is they are parting man
and wife. Tbe women claim to
become sanctified, and then what-
ever they do is no sin. These
| people are telling people that
er sanctification they can be any
man’s spiritual wife. They are
| demoralizing the whole country,
ruining young wojweu and bring-
lug strife among the people. They
g 0 80 far as to say that
ministers who have been preach-
ing God’s Word for twenty and
forty years should be killed.
Young women are drowning their
> offspring iu numbers. Many are
going crazy. The leaders are tbe
| meanest and lowest people in the
world and were driven from Vir-
j ginia on account of their behavior
