THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY AUGUST 19 1884. TWELVE PAGES.
k
Id The Constitution office may not be without
Interest.
Mr. Hemphill is usually the first man on deck
in the morning. He has the mails brought to his
room, where they are assorted. The exchanges are
sent up to the editorial rooms, together with the
newsletters. The personal letters are distributed
as directed, and the business lettem are opened
and the names of new subscribers sent to the prin
ter, who enters them on the printed lists for the
mailing departments. As these often go into the
hundred?, it Is a considerable work. It la Mr.
Hemphill???s policy to make every day take care of
Itself, and each mail la disposed of before another
oomisln.
At about 0 o'clock Mr. Howell and Mr. Grady ar-
rfje, and a consultation la usually held in Mr
Howell's rooms, In which the work for the day la
outlined, and the policy of the paper on any issue
that may be np is indicated, and the subjects for
editorials assigned or suggested to the different
writer*.
Whea the managing editor reaches his room he
finds that the exchanges and news letters have
been ran oyer by Mr. Reed, and the points perti
nent to the dsy noted snd laid aside. A surrey of
the state and the surrounding states ia then male.
If there Is a convention, an election, a hanging, or
anything of Importance act for that day within
Thb Constitution's territory, a dispatch Is sent,
ordering a correspondent to cover it. If there Is
a local item In any of the exchanges, needing ad
ditional details, the corre*|rfindent at that point Is
requested to send such details. Tub Constitution
has over 200 correspondents scattered through the
???outli, covering every section of Its territory and
aubjeetto telegraphic order*. Their names are
kept classified In a correspondent's book, and
???very Item sent by them, and the date of ihe
tending, la checked opposite the name of the
sendsr. It Is thus possible In an hour's time for
Tnr. CONSTITUTION to here the details of any event
that may occur within Its territory sent by Us
correspondent. Frequently fifty dispatches arc
needed Jn the morning to start tho machinery
that is to supply the next day's paper with Us
special new*.
At stout 12 o'clock the city editor reports, and
ask* for suggestions or instructions. Tho city Is
carefully scanned, and each event that is fixed
for Ihe day Is scheduled to some reporter, and a
note Is laid on his desk notifying him of the fact,
and Indicating how much a (men can be given to
St. When there are more meetings or cvqul* than
tho regular force can handle, space ntcu aro put at
work, or tho editorial force la drawn upon, for It
la the cardinal rule of Tiib C'oNariTUTioN odito
llal rooms that no man on tho paper ia above
doing any work that cornea to hla hand. In a<
ditlon to his schcdulo work ??? each reporter has a
certain section of the city asslgnod to him, and ho
la responsible for a report of the happenings them.
The court reporter makes a round of the courts,
the police reporter goes to the atatlonhouso, the
de]??!tmcfit reporter to therspito), postofllce, etc.,
the market reporter pi the exchanges, tho person
al reporter to the hotels, the railroad reporter to
tire depots, offices, etc.

news machinery la fairly started,
rsspondenfs, reporters, editors, special
writers are at work In their various departments,
preparing copy for the morning paper. Ily alx

There are special writers, such as Goo. Alfred

New York; F. A. Hurrand John Paul Uncock,of
Philadelphia, who send iu news or gossip as it
cornea to them. There aru sketch writers, such as

I lie considerable space Iu the Sunday paper, and
always fills it well and rntbrtainlngly.
Ily seven o'clock this mass of matter, classified
as well ns may be Is given, to tho foreman
of the composing room. 11c clips It into
pieces of Uu or fifteen lines eaeh and It la distri
buted to the printers. It la pul Into type at tho
tat# of about three columns an hour.
Ihe night editor is now on deck,
???ud delicate and difficult work Is
bis. briefly put, hla duty is to get twenty
columns of matter Into ten columns of space. The
associated press matter la rushing Iu at a lively
rate, the special correspondents are shooting In
their telegrams, and the reporters grinding out
copy. He already has enough matter to fill the
paper and yet it ketpa coming. It is difficult to
deride what to condense or what to omit. And
yet there is no time to think It over. Every mo
ment is precious. Just, pcrha|?? as he has got tho
thing arranged snugly, there cornea the news
of au earthquake, of a murder or an
arcident that will require two columns
at least. In constant communication, as he is, by
telephone with the managing editor there is no
advice that can show a way out of this. Two
columns must go to make room tor the two new
columns. Whet two columns must be aacrlfle t
he tmut k dcciili. aud the essence of those col
umns condensed into a few linre.
It is now perhaps 2:36 o???clock in the morning,
and the paper must go to press by :t:aiX The prin
ter* ere tired and half Minded. From the proof
reader's room cctuis the droning aud rapid read-

bles pineal oa wheels. As each one Is Justified
and locked up, tt is wheeled to the elevator and
rent down to the press room. When the last is
gone the night editor, the foreman and his as-
sfatantsdepart. The Janitor turns out the light
and the great floor, but shortly the scene of such
tremendous activity, la silent. The nuinberlcaa
electric lights that shone like stars a few momenta
before, twinkle out and the - building stands dark
and grim.
But the activity is transferred from up in the
air, to below the earth. The proas room is in a
bustle. The pressman and his superintendents
stand with Iron cranes and levers, at the elevator
and swing each turtle aa It comes to them into Us
place on the press. When the Inst in fixed, the en
gineer is notified and the engine opens up. And
then comes the marvel of printing. There 1* a
roll of paper, five miles long and aa wide ns Tiib
Constitution. It is start'd on it*J ourney, and no
baud touches It or guides it until its perfect
work is don*. It first plunges through a steam
bath Unit maker Its dry body pliable and Impres
sible. It then enters a wilderness of screws, knives,
and cylinder*, where It is twitched to and fro ao
rapidly that the eye cannot follow it As
delicate as It Is, and as heroic as is tho proems
through which It la put, It la never torn or broken.
1 he endless roll is cut Into such lengths as will
make twelve pages of Tub Constitution. Each et
these sheets la whirled Into lu proper place, and
receives the embrace of Its particular turtle.
They are then gathered together
???gain, arranged In one, two, three,
order and delicately pasted each page to tho other.
At this point each paper registers Itself, so that
the dial on (he side of the pros* shows exactly how
many paper* have been printed. After register
ing, the paper hurries on, and Is folded In precise
ly the fold In which it goes to tho reader, And
all Uilsls accomplished with such Incredible awlft
nets that four oomplcto paper* are cut, prlntod,

Macon, August 12.???(Special.]???It is not often
that a proprietor of a fashionable hotel announces
to the guest* after breakfast that they must look
cut for dinner elsewhere, that his hotel will not
serve it. Sueh was the state of affairs to-day at
the Lanier bouse when that celebrated case of the.
company against Mr. J.S. Stewart, the lotsec, came
to a focus also involving Mr. Geo. W. Bylngton
who bad leased It from Mr. Stewart. It was the
latter that had to resort to the unpleasant duty of
dismissing his guests to protect himself from loss.
The hotel presented an unusual appearance this
morning. After the announcement, the guests all
