The Herald is fortunate in the
class of enemies it has. They are
few, but they do ns lots of good in
their way. Strive ever so hard,
could not please us better
i by opposing us.
Fcr the nejcfc wqek, now, the pa¬
pers will have something t» ta'k
about—there’s been another bliz¬
zard ! It was truly rough weather,
but cotqpiu'ed to the one of la@t
piontli it was a gentle zephyr,
Some of the papers ar, talking
about Grover Cleveland as a dem
cratic presidential possibility next
) T ear. Are they joking, or do limy
really think that Cleveland and
his party will ever get together?
EffOM the papers we see that our
sister town, Swainsboro, is trying
to get a cotton factory. It she
is really trying, the chancos are
she’jl gqt it, for they’ve got plenty
of ipoqey and plenty of “push” up
there.
A copy ot the \Vifegras§ Blade,
published in Swainsboro, has been
received at this office. It’s “chock
full” of local nqws, and no doubt
will obtain a good support ip its
county. Geo. Bell, the editor and
publisher, is a hustling boy.
All that heated rivalry between
Admirals Schjey and Sampson,
over tho Santiago victory, seems
to hava bepn of small mopient af¬
ter all. Their respective admirers
niatio u great ado about where the
credit belonged, but when the sen¬
ate came to pass upon the matter
Schley was nut a couple of points
ahead of Sampson. This js as it
be.
THTan^RE THE REASONS.
Tire Times was inquiring m a
very innocent way a few weeks ago
why .the Sheriff Hud Ordinary had
seen ill to withdraw their patron
ago from it. At the time iho edi
tor p<*»ued that inquiry h« was,
to i eluulit. praying for it to g wr.«n
and ho probably con
granulates himself that it has so
iar been unnoticed.
Now, so Liras the Times editor
is concerned n.e npeas no answer,
for ho • lias long ago—before lie
wrote tho inquiry reterred to—
been personally informed by the
token ei, 11 and „ , Ordinary N , of their .
reasons for . quitting him. Vhen
lie says to the contrary we are
constrained to think that bis
memory is very deficient, or else
—well—the truth is, he know their
reasons as well as they knew them
themselves when lie sought to
liainboozle his readers by pieadinc
ignorance.
Itmuybe, hoyevar, that
arc among his reactors some who
arc interested in knowing the truth
ftbout the matter, and The
this time to announce „
tew ot the reasons. V» hen tbs Times
man bought tho printing business
from the present editor of The
xIerald he lackr-d an eveq thon
sa nd dollars of paying ^ iu b for 1U1 1L it
When the last payment
ing to near $700) camp due in
November the Times man wanted
Y** iponoy. ‘>a.v» ouly HU in intentions which to ra wtsre 13
«oat»V P S ~n'Xn ' 1 :
'
could ask for. Mhen patience .
had ceased to be a virtue with
The Herald man, however, and
the mortgage had been put into
an execution, the Times man
sought legal counsel, who inform
Pjl him that he could gain time by
swearing that he didn’t owe a pent
of the amount claimed and he
went into the court and made
affidavit to such a statement.
The Times editor was thereupon
infurmed that unless he settled
his honest debts tho Sh^vitT and
Ordinary would withdraw then
advertising and give it to a rival
paper. He called upon both if
these gentlemen before The
Herald was ever started up, to
ascertain if this was true; and
both plainly informed him that
they could not stand by him
unless he settled his just obliga
tions at a hundred cents on the
del {ar instead cf doiu" aa ho had
done—attempting off sixteen month's to after swear they then;
were
contracted.
As we said, he knew all of these
reasons before The Herald was
started—a month before he un¬
furled to ihe world that -innocent
little inquiry! And if he tad
been honest with his readers he
would have spared The Herald
lie. Hie easy There job of making other things them pub- that
are
can be said on this subject when
occasion demands it.
Little Jog Bailpy, of Texas, is
mad. He openly vqws that he
will never lend the democratic side
- ;
of congress any more. IIow rash
and how vexatious! The trouble
with the little fellow is that he
wanted to refuse to seat Gen.
Wheeler in congress, and the
majority of the democrats there
begged to differ with him. It is
barely possible, however, that
Bailey’s rash vow is superfluous—
the democrats seem to have quit
following oven a little while before 1
he decided to stop leading.
