EDITORIAL OPINIONS.
The Covington Star puts it this

There seems to be more full
Hedged crooks developed in At¬
lanta than in any other South¬
ern city.
Spaiu has at last complied
with the demanas of the U. S.
in the Alliance affair. The mat¬
ter is now settled.
Witchcraft was a kind of spir¬
itual maduess and bumping in
the days of ignorance; hypno¬
tism is witchcraft in these days
of culture.
The Spanisn in Cuba thought
when Campos took charge that
ho would he conciliating, and
that the rebellion would soon
end. Contrary to their expecta¬
tion the Spanish general has is¬
sued a proclamation which is
driving the subjects to join the
rebels. It may yet terminate,
after a bloody struggle, in the
freedom of the island from
Spain's dominion.
Gold is so attractive that peo¬
ple like it, and they like it so
well that the circulation stops—
that’s the trouble. A gentleman
remarked to us the other day
that he knew of several farmers
v ho have from two to four hun¬
dred dollars in gold locked up,
because they are afraid to lend
it out, or inveet it. Gold is good
to keep as a surplus, but not so
good as a circulating medium.
It is said that the streets of Hea
veil are paved w ith gold. We
fear the goldbugs here who
lioaid it away will not ha\e it
theve, burnished and and polish
ed w ithout charge of mintage—
free coinage of gold.

Evil never ceases, the devil
has power on earth, 'I he papers
are filled w ith the news of crime
oi all sorts and varieties, and
from every nook and corner of
the tne world, world But cut for to the ec crimes
committed and the agitation of
the gold and silver question the
daily nauers would have noth
ing in them. Verily the history
of this world, taken altogether,
i„ made up of crime, «. and
rumors of’wars.
But it seems that the full de
tails cf crime must be given to I
satisfy the depraved tastes of a ;
reading public. W ho can deny
the total depravity of human na
ture in the face of the degrada
ta °n a 11 d l ‘ le multitudinous
enmes recited every day m our I
dailv na 1 dpi-8 F \ friend at our I
elbow would suggest, . however,
what you say canuot be denied,
but there is another side to this
dark ana unlv f. uicture Wuere
Sill . abouuds . , there also , IS . grace,
and you must note the good in
the land-the charities bestowed
and the suffering relieved. This
is also true but Ave fear the good
ia not commensurate with the
evil. The evil i. to much more
violent and reckless than the
good is positive and extensive,
ONE IDEA.
If you would succeed you
must have one idea, and that to
succeed with whatever you un¬
dertake. In general social meet¬
ings it is proper to interchange
opinions, giving the benefit
observations and experiences
i upon various subjects, in fact, be
entertaining ; but when the mat¬
ter of business is under consid
oration the idea plan . . the ..
one is
j only guarantee of success. Noth
ing must interfere w ith the pro
ject and push of the enterprise.
As H. I, Kimball, who died re
cently, once said in substance,
‘ Whatever you go into let it he
| the biggest thing on earth to you.
j Let nothing deter you from yout
purposes.” The motto of David
Crockett, “Be sure you are right,
and then go ahead,” should be
the watch word of every busi¬
ness man. Application and en¬
ergy rightly directed insuressuc
ceas in any advocation of life.
Oneness of purpose—one idea

We admit that we are not yet
familiar with the affairs of Rock¬
dale county. We, however, de¬
mur to the expression which the
Banner seeks to slur, in order to
make its readers believe that we
are an ignoramus. This done
too with an exclamation point,
emphasizing the thought. We
disclaim the attitude of defend¬
ing any illegal act of officers in
charge of the county’s interests.
We shall ever be ready to con¬
demn acts of crime from what¬
ever source they may come.
The appointment of a commit¬
tee was right; the matter is in
their hands, and it is not our
business nor the Banner’s to agi¬
tate tliis subject, even though
we can find nothing else to in¬
terest our readers. The commit¬
tee’s work is to examine t h e
books of the county officials, not
to see whether the ordinary has
perpetrated an injustice upon
our citizens. The investigation
of hooks is often done even when
full itemized reports are publish¬
ed. In Putnam county reports
of the school commissioner,
county commissionersjand treas¬
urer are published in connection
with the grand jury present¬
ments, and paid for by the coun¬
ty. And yet every few years a
committee is appointed to ex¬
amine the books; their report is
published and paid for out of the
treasury. This is done as a pru¬
dent overlooking of the county’s
interests.
\y e prefer to give our fellow
men the*‘charity of silence,’’not
accusing of theft or malfeasance
until there is sufficient evidence
to justify the accusation. In this
c;)g0 j t appears the grand jury
authorized the payment of $171)

committee was not made to

but they saw fit not to do so,

WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
We feel it hut right to say that we are
thankful to the people for their patron¬
age and many kind expressions for The
Weekly. AVithout giving names we
quote what several have said. No. 1
says: “You are getting out a
sheet.”
2. “The Weekly is a splendid paper.
It is newsy and bright.’’
3. “That young man gets out a fine
paper.”
4 . “Great improvement in The.Week¬
ly.”
o. “Your paper is what we need—it is
newsy and the editorial paragraphs are
good.”
6. “I don’t like to praise one too much
to his face, hut must say that your pa¬
per is fine, and I hope you will make it
a giand success.”
7. “Everybody here at our post office
is pleased with the make up and neat¬
ness of your paper. It is muitum in par
vo.”
8. “Your editorial paragraphs are
excellent. One in last week’s issue is
worth the price of your paper.”
We could give many more expre c sions
on the same line, but will not at pres¬
ent. We are pleased to know that our
iftortsare appreciated. The paper has
not yet reached the standard of excel
leuce to which we aspire. We want to
make it donbio its present size,an J then
fill it with with the choicest reading
matter, news items, excerpts, etc. Fa
tronize us, and we will give you value
