And then there is still another class that. clings to the belief that the editor a tarnation fool anyhow, without enough brains to feed a calf, damaging tho town with indiscreet publications, and unfit, for his business.

Many people regard it as a plaything—something they can knock about at will, taking as many liberties with it as a child with a rag doll. Some of them look at it as a charitable institution. There are enough amusmg demands made upon it to fill a large book. The general estimate of the editor is that he is a good fellow, who is doing business for the purpose of writing up things and people who have the desire to get into print. Generally these peo ple have reached the limit of apprecia tion when they condescend to say, "I thank you,” for something that was meant to be a compliment. On the oth er hand, many take ail mention of their names as their right and title, keep mum as oysters, and strut around town as though they had come into their own when they get written up in the village gazette. This class always feels that the editor has taken unto himself a spe cial privilege in mentioning them in his columns. They pat themselves on the back for having been able to put away a bit of “valuable” advertising. The matter of concluding that the newspaper might be in business for a livelihood does not occur to many peo ple. And it might be said here that the mere desire for pelf has seldom ac tuated the soul of any good newspaper man. In the ordinary consideration of motives behind the publication of a newspaper, mere gain is the last thing a publisher is guilty of—that is, the right kind of a newspaper man. When he has graduated, when he knows the art of getting out what the public re cognizes as a real newspaper, mere money-making is never considered. This is for the reason, however, that your ideal newspaper seldom gets enough appreciation to warrant the hope that it may one day be a financial success. The newspaper game might well be called the costliest sport in the world. It costs more in money, in labor, in en ergy than anything else that can be named — except war. Setting aside what a newspaper is like on a busy day, it generally is in a state of war any how. Always a storm-center, the shot and shell of public criticism are always aimed at it. The mortars of disap proval are generally of the 12-inch type, loaded with the shrapnel of vitupera tive abuse. But while all these things are true in a sense, and approximately so in others, it really takes money to produce a newspaper. Most people would deny this. It makes no difference what the editor’s views or ideals may be, he has no right to be considered from the standpoint of having any business worth support. The fact that his machinery may need oiling is not to be considered. From the editor’s standpoint, there are only two ways he may make money —through subscriptions, if they be high enough, and through advertising. Com plaints come more from those who do not pay their bills than from those who are prompt. This is universally true. This class also is the first to complain when they do not get free publicity. In the very nature of things the news paper has to give a great deal of pub licity in the way of free advertising. It must make mention of all club meet ings, all comings and goings, all church meetings and church affairs, all enter tainments, public or private—not be cause these things are really news, but because their mention has become a custom, and the public look for them with a longing heart and a yearning eye. If it would only occur to some people that every line an editor publishes costs money, his burden might in a measure be lightened. But the more space giv es to a person or organization, the more it expects, and the less appreciation for what is done. They finally come to de mand as a right what was granted as a favor. The newspaper habitually boosts the town, town enterprises, town people, and gives free publicity where a dollar a line could not buy it. And still the public kicks. People say with amazing frankness that whatever concerns them is news, and that which relates to someone else should be suppressed. This sort feel that they have done a generous part in allowing the newspa per to advertise them. Quincy Journal. Perhaps we ore too apt to "Regard politeness as a mere veneer, but the pleasant smiles, the spirit of helpful ness, the ready sacrifice, are not of the exterior alone. A good manner, like the good nature that is a part of it, is not a thing to be thrown on and olf with a dress coat. It is of the man as the aroma is of the rose. The polite man is at a tremendous ad vantage. He can win favor and fortune under circumstances where the loose- mannered and slovenly-spirited is left to grumble in failure. It is not alto gether because of his politeness. It is chiefly because of the sterling charac ter that lies back of it and gives it birth. Politeness is a good capital in any business. A Cleveland street car con ductor has proved it so, and so has every other man who ever made good manners a part of his equipment. This conductor gave a little better service than he was supposed to be paid for. He was careful of the com fort and safety of the children, the ladies, the old men and the cripples who rode on his car. He met querulous complaints with pleasant smiles and kindly words. He collected no more fares for the company than any other conductor. He was no more faithful and efficient in other respects than perhaps] hundreds of his fellows. But, somehow, that one advantage was sufficient. In his kindness to passengers he was unconsciously kind to himself. He came to be selected for special runs where courtesy was of special importance. And now he has been made a dispatcher. He has won his way to a "good placo by his politeness, just as millions of other men have done in other lines be fore him, and as millions more will do in time to come. Politeness pays. > It attracts friends and good fortune. It creates about a man an atmosphere in which “luck” loves to linger. Most of us seem to think tho world owes us much, and that we own the world nothing. We seem to be on our guard against giving any more in ser vice than we are actually paid for. Even our smiles we reserve unless we see a chance to coin them into ready cash. We go through life grabbing and grumbling, giving nothing to employer or public, except what is specifically cajled for in the contract. And there is where we make a seri ous mistake. Only as we give do we grow. Only as we lift others do we lift ourselves. Only as we bring joy into the life of others do we really live. No Indictments by Grand Jury in Frank Lynching. Marietta, Ga., Sept. 3.- "We regret to state that we have been unable to find enough evidence to indict Bnyone for this crime.” This sentence, taken from the presentments of the Cobb county grnnd jury, sums up the find ings in the case of tho lynching of Leo M. Frank.

Atlanta Journal, 5th inat. One of the largest family reunions ever held in the South was that of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Moncrief, who cele brated their sixtieth wedding anniver- sarj last Tuesday on the beautiful lawn of their granddaughter, Mrs. Hickman W. Caldwell, at College Park. The homecoming brought together four daughters, Mtb. Olin Travis, Dal las, Tex.; Mrs. F. S. Irby, Kirkwood, (Ja.; Mrs. Nora Hand, Atlanta; MrB. Cannon Hart, Dallas, Tex.; and six sons, D. E. Moncrief, Atlanta; S. P. Moncrief, Atlanta; R. L. Moncrief, Newnan; .1. A. Moncrief, Houston, Tex.; Dr. Wm. H. Moncrief, Washing ton, D. C., and Elmo S. Moncrief, Cleveland, O. These sons and daughters, with their children and their children’s children, represented five generations, and num bered over one hundred. The youngest one on this occasion was little Clarence Jones, of Live Oak, Fla., who celebrated her first birthday on her great-grandparents’ sixtieth wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Moncrief were married in Lawrenceville sixty years ago, her maiden name being Miss Ann E. Sim mons, and have reared ten children, all of whom are now living. They have never had a death in the immediate family, and have lived in Atlanta all their lives. His Rest Was Broken. 0. D. Wright, Kosemont, Neb., writes: “For about six months I was hothered with shooting and continual pains in the region of my kidneys.

We have found several clues, but have been unable to find anyone who could identify any party. Wo have done our best, under our oath, and wo regret to state that wo have been una ble to find enough evidence to indict anyone for this crime. "We have made a list of all of the witnesses we had before us. Tho Solic itor-General was before our body, and personally examined these witnesses and we have turned this list over to him for information, to follow up at another grand jury if any more evi donee can bo found to connect any per son or persons with the death of Leo M. Frank. “We have been unable to connect anybody with the perparation of this offense, or to identify anyone who was connected with it, although we have investigated the information furnished us by officers and other parties, and have followed up letters which have been received by the officials, both signed and unsigned, and to this end we have subpoenaed and examir cd many witnesses in an effort to disclose the perpetrators of this crime, but none of these witnesses could identify uny of the parties. "From careful investigation, wo find that tho reports which have gone all over the country of lawlessness in Cobb county, and the city of Marietta, before and after this crime, are untrue. We find, from investigation, that the offenders of the law and tho citizens of our town and county knew nothing of this crime until they heard of the body being found near Frey’s gin in this county. The city of Marietta nnd the county of Cobb wore quiet before this trouble, are quiet now, and all reports to the contrary are untrue. “Wo have done our best to do our duty and ferret out this crime, and re gret to report that we find it impossi ble to indict anyone.” Mrs. J. Y. Nolan Dead. Snnoia EntarprlflO-G&7.atta, r 2tith ult. It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of our dear mother, Mrs. J. Y. Nolan, who passed peacefully away at our home in this city Thursday after noon at 2:45 o’clock. Our heart is too sad to write an extended notice, but we give only a few dots as to her life. Miss Mary Virginia Ansley was born in Newton county on October 2, 1845, where she lived for a few years, later moving to South Georgia, where she lived until 1855, when she was married to John Y. Nolan. They lived at vari ous places until about 1875. then set tled in Senoia. She joined the Metho dist church when young and lived a very quiet, consistent member of the same. She was not a woman to make big professions, but those who knew her can vouch for our saying that she was a good woman, a good neigh bor, and a good mother. Her husband died three years ago, after which she spent much of her time with us; and now wo will miss her, oh! so much. She is survived by three daughters and three sons, besides many other rela tives. The remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery Friday afternoon at 8 o’clock, the services being conducted at the MethodiBt church by Rev. W. A. Maxwell, assisted by Rev. W. T. Cald well. The floral offerings were very pretty. The mayor and councilmen acted as pall-bearers. have been rung upon this theme for nearly o year. The German newspa pers in Germany are no less arrogant than German newspapers and agitators in the United States in boasting of the decisive influence that this vote will ex ert in electing the President of the United States in 1916. We shall have a showdown on that issue next year. If there is a German- American vote or any other hyphenated vote that thinks it can elect a Presi dent of the United States or defeat a President of the United States, let it undertake to translate its words into deeds. There are a great many impor tant political questions before the American people, but we know of no other question so vital as this—namely, whether the United States is a free and independent nation or a semi-de tached German colony. Whenever our German - American friends are prepared to take their own political threats seriously, there are ap proximately 15,000,000 voters who will he glad to settle this matter at the polls.

It is a great pity that a girl should ever think of marriage as a refuge, a means of support, or as the main ob ject of life. Such an attitude is bound to weaken character. A girl’s ideal should not bo marriage, but woman hood, as a man’s ideal should not be marriage, but, manhood. We do not talk of educating our boys to lie hus bands and fathers; we train them to be brave, true, pure and gentlemanly, honest and active and industrious, know ing that such a man ennnot fail to make a good husband and father. So it iH with the girls. Train them to be ournest and independent; teach them to be self-supporting; make them accurate and responsible in money mat ters, as delicate and refined in their financial sense as they are in their modesty; in other words, train them to be womanly women, and they wil| make the best wives and mothers the world has ever known.
