3Htc Herald and ^dncrtise| Newnan, Ga., Friday, Fefc. 17, 1888. THE COUNTRY EDITOR. Three Weeks as a Country Editor—An Atrocioud Crime, and How It Was Written Up. .1. Armoy Knox. Wliat do I know about a country ed itor? Why, I have been htm. I once owned and edited a four-paged daily paper during a brief but tempestuous career, extending over three weeks. During those three weeks I passed through many vicissitudes, and had much trouble musing the paper, which suffered from sluggish circulation, com plicated by financial chills. f succomb- ed under the Herculean task of trving to keep the wolf and the sheriff from the door. When I settled with my creditors, by telegraph, all I had left was a judgment "against me in the county court, and a black eye that a printer gave me, by way of receipt for an unpaid week’s wages; and the only assets Ihe printer had was the balance of the profanity he had not expended on me. That was in the days when what I actually knew could have been crowded inside of a N o. (5 envelope, and what I thought I knew was enough to fill the wide, wide world with awe, and make the people of the next century yawp with surprise and admiration. 1 had many tumultuous views of men and aff airs, while unthought thoughts of other things were surging within me, and I felt "'that I could only give them sat isfactory expression through the me dium of a daily paper—a paper of mv own, that. I could control. I was pos sessed of capital, some of which was in cash, and some in the unthought thoughts and things. The cash amount ed to $87.25. I sought a town that needed a good daily paper, and I found it in northern Texas. 1 rented a lot of old type and a second-hand press that a man had in a back room, among rubbish, rust and cobwebs, and hauled, it upstairs to my office. The man had a mortgage on the printing material, but, although 1 knew that a mortgage was a natural adjunct of most newspaper offices, I didn’t take that up. 1 allowed the man to hold it. I hired a practical printer, and at once proceeded to frll a long felt want with “one thousand circulation, guar anteed”—at least that is the way mv prospectus put it. On the battlements of my front page I flung out, side by side, the soul-stirring mottoes, “Uni versal Education—The Safety of the Republic.”—“Entered at the post of fice as second-class matter.” Then I proceeded to throw my whole soul into the writing of a salutatory, in which, among other things, I said: “We shall defend and uphold the right, and op pose and condemn the wrong; will be untrammeled in politics, uncontrolled by any ring or clique, and always found advocating what may be for the best interests of the people, etc., etc.” In those days I wielded what was called a trenchant pen, and when I seized it and started it on its mad ca reer in pursuit of an idea, or in writing an editorial on “The Power and Pre- rogativesof the Press,” for miles around the English language could be heard trembling to its very foundation, while rhetoric tottered on its throne. I have a copy of that paper before me now" as I write. On the editorial page I find the following, which I give you as a sample of how I once could write: “We enter upon the functions of journalism with an imperious conscious ness of a personal committal to the high moral responsibilities, incident to ‘ a position recognized by intelligence and morality, as a representative and formative entity, moulding and vitaliz ing the intelligent constituency, who perpetuates, by prerogatives, its exis tence.” Ah, me, few of ns can write now as we could, and did, when we were young and fair, and fresh. In addition to my duties as editor, I performed those of proof reader, repor ter, obituary poet, job printer, press man, advertising solicitor, and mailing clerk, and I sat up at nights to write lies about my circulation to Eastern ad vertisers. I remember how well I could write, with equal ease and knowledge, on all sorts of subjects. A heavy edi torial on, for instance, the Turko-Per- sian embroglio, would engage my atten tion in the morning. After concluding a column on that subject, I would, without stopping longer than the time it took to kick a strange dog into the alley, write half a column of a long primer panegyric on an early variety of cabbage, presented to me by a sub scriber. Then, after refreshing my self, by setting up the matter for a pos ter, announcing a lecture by an itiner ant phrenologist, I would indulge in some scathing sarcasm regarding my ri pied as a moulder of public sentiment; and, therefore, I never failed to scat ter with a lavish hand, new and sec ond-hand advice all over my columns. I put in a good deal of personal and local matter, and the papa- *iid very well at first, because, being new to the town, 1 made many mistakes smd peo ple called on me and asked nae <to cor rect them, and then they bought the paper next day to see the corrections. At the end of two weeks, part of my capital was gone. Of course, t&at was to be expected. A newspaper never pays during the first few days; Qaut, in my case, the trouble was that it was that it was the cash part of the capital that was ostentatiously absent. I had still on hand, above liabilities, a big balance of my view-s and opinions, but neither unwritten editorials nor theo ries on free trade will buy paper and ink. We ran three more days on cred it, and then I had a financial crisis. The combined resources of the estab lishment were not equal to the raising of the weekly amount of rent necessa ry to appease the rapacity of the man who had the mortgage on the type. This crisis was happily averted by tak ing into the business a partner with a The Baby’s 3«ri&l at Sea. Dr. Mutchmore. The saddest sight of life we ever wit nessed was on an ocean voyage, in the death and burial dfthe child of a lowly German mother. Her husband had been smitten by consumption, and with that longing so peculiar to this form of disease thought if he could only breathe the air of his own boyhood’s Rhine cliffs he would be w r ell again. But be ing poor he had to-cross in February in the steerage. The oold winds, scanty fare, and hard bed were too much for him, and he had but scarcely reached his home when hemorrhages attacked him, and he sent to St. Louis for his wife and only child, a son, that he might see him once again. The wife sold her scanty household outfit, and taking her babe, set out to see her hus band’s face ere she should know what penniless widowhood and orphanage meant. She wept night and day, and most of all because she knew wot wliat would become of her fatherless child. But soon she learned God’s purpose : the child wasted away ; his mother’s grief had robbed him of his natural nurture, and she could secure no other. The Wonderful Htatlitlei When it is considered that the per centage of deaths from consumption is 91 per thousand against 63 per 1,000 of any other malady, how important to guard against a slight cold. Taylor's Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum aud Mu.lein is the great medicine for coughs, colds and consumption. 11*^4 illLY^ Cilv KJ V* X | ^ capital of $21 cash, and 17 meal tickets j poor people with her taxed themselves, of a 25-cent restaurant. j and the little milk left from cabin use I tried to please the people of the j was procured, but the child closed its town, but my literary style did not seem to ‘‘gee” with their crude, uncul tured taste. In reporting a murder, one day, I put it in this way: AN ATROCIOUS CRIME. We have just learned of the killing of Col. Starr, who is well and favorably known to all our citizens. It occurred at Ilog Hollow, yesterday evening. Reports received up to the time of go ing to press are meagre. The name of the murderer is J. B. Blank, and his victim now lies dead, with a ghastly wound in the neck. W e are constrain ed to say that it was a cold-blooded murder, rivaling in atrocity the worst case of the kind we ever heard of. Ihe murdered man’s family‘have the sym pathy of the whole community, in then- great sorrow and bereavement. \Ve are opposed to lynch law, but there are cases in which it is not to be expected that an outraged public will await the slow action ot the courts. This thing of carrying pistols is an outrage, that should be suppressed by the strong arm of the law. It turned out that J. B. Blank was a prominent citizen—Col. Blank, of the G. and N. R. R.—while Starr was an obscure man. As soon as I learned that I jammed the following into the paper, and sent out an extra: LATEST FROM HOG HOLLOW. It was Col. J. B. Blank, one of out most esteemed and influential citizens, who had the unfortunate difficulty with the man named Starr. Starr, who is a comparative stranger here, committed a most unprovoked assault on Col. Blank, and the Colonel was forced, in self-de fense, to use his pistol, wounding the man Starr fatally. Col. Blank has the sympathy of our people in his trouble. While we are opposed to men taking the law into their own hands, yet, when men in Col. Blank’s position are wan tonly attacked with murderous intent, we advocate their right to defend them selves. It was fortunate that the Colo nel carried a pistol. It "was of no use. Colonel Blank had seen the first notice, and as soon as he was released on bail, he came into the office and shot off the end of a most use ful thumb * My partner said that I had talent for personal journalism, and insisted that if we wanted to increase our circulation, and succeed in keeping the sheriff from taking an interest in the concern, I must be personal. “Go for ’em and you’ll attract attention,” he said. I started in with six line interrogatories as to “how our tax collector, with a $900 salary, can build a $12,000 house ?” “Why does our street commissioner continue to hold his office while he so criminally neglects his duties?” I found fault with every public official in the town, and hinted that hanging would be a punishment too mild to fit their crimes. It was a great effort, and it certainly attracted attention. At 10 o’clock every copy was sold, and the cry was for more. My partner was congratulating me, and I was just, be ginning to realize that, at last, I had struck the key-note of journalism that would be responded to by the intelli gent public, when Alderman McShane walked in, knocked down my partner with a wooden mallet, slammed me un der the press, poured a can of lye down my back, and kicked the forms into „ , Some of our most prominent citizens At 11 o clock eight citizens called and fi a y e been cured of chronic rheumatism conferred with me.

She sat with it in her arms, bemoaning her sad fate until the ship’s officers commanded its burial. The ship carpenter .prepared the rough box with the weight to sank it to its ocean bed; tender hands clipped the golden locks from the little head, to carry- to the dying father, and what remained was parted over the pale brow. No wrappings enfolded it but the faded calico gown. A poorer neigh bor spread her white linen handker chief over its face, and the carpenter filled up the space with clean pine shavings, and as he did his work he groaned and said : “God bless this poor mother ; God be thanked, the -wee bairn is safe.” The captain came down to read the committal service according to law. He was a liard-faeed, swearing, blustering Englishman, but beneath had a manly heart. He said to the carpen ter, “Screw down the lid.” “Oh, no, captain,” said the heart- stricken mother, “let me look at my baby once more.” He turned away and waited. Again he said to the grief-stricken, “I am sor ry to deprive you of any comfort. God knows you have few enough, but I must read the service.” She lifted herself, and the carpenter screwed down the lid, amid the sobs of the poor around her and the tears as well of those ' happier in this world’s goods looking down from the upper deck. The captain read in plaintive tones the service, and faltered as he read, “I am the resurrection'and the life.” Poor man! Why he faltered there at the anchor of human hope we could never tell. He took the box to be lowered into its billowy bed; the mother shrieked : “O, captain,” and laid once more hold of her treasure ; the captain stood waiting for her to kiss that rough box, and then she said, in broken tones, “Fadder, 27ly will be done”—and the little casket dropped into the Sea, which took it quickly to its bosom, and a little bubble rose, the sea’s last messenger to tell us that all was well. A church, in a certain town in Ken tucky, was much divided on the organ question. One of the members was in the habit of going into a saloon and taking a drink whenever he felt like it, but had a holy horror of an organ in the church. In a discussion of the subject he said: “If you bring that organ in here it will split the church. I and a number of others will leave.” The pastor then spoke, saying : “I can preach either with or without the organ in the church. It is a mat ter of indifference to me. But as the church is divided about it, and some say it will drive them out of the church, I thing the wisest course for us is to put the organ in the saloon, and see if it won’t keep our members out of that place also.” The objecting member then subsid ed.—Western Recorder. €e$ai Holices.
