Governor Blease honored Lexington
when he appointed Dr. J. W. Wessinger,
of the Fork, to the position of
surgeon general on his staff. Dr. Wes
singer is one of the leading nnvsioians
' ?
of the county and a gentleman in all
that the word implies.

Now if the new governor will see to
it that all officers whose sworn duty
it is to enforce the dispensary an prohibition
laws performs their duty
wi&oni fear or favor there will be no
need of . the constables. Put the
"screWs" to 'em, "Coley!"
The Mends of this paper will please
hand us in news items while they are
fresh. The Dispatch prefers not to
publishTa birth after the child is weaned,
a marriage after the honeymoon is
over, or the death of a man after his
widow has married again. Give us tht
sews while it is news.

' ' ======
An editor works 865 days in a year
to get ont fifty-two issues of a paper,
that's labor. Once in a while a sub- |
oriber pays a year in advance for n:s
paper! that's capital. And once in a !
* while some son-of-a-sea-cockofadead
beat takes the paper for two or three
i years then j skips out without paying
for it, that's anarchy.
;'
Goyernor Bleases's inaugural ad*
dress was in many respects a most remarkable
document. He scored the
press and the ministers of the State
who saw fit to oppose his, election.
Governor Blease, however, can no
longer charge the press with not printing
"his side'' for ail of the dailies
within the State gave his inaugural
address a conspicuous place on the
y ; frontpage.

eheerfal sense of humor if we but
would try. For a good every day
household angel, give ue a woman who !
,> ' / ianghs. Home is not a batMeheld, nor I
life one long unending row. A trick
!|, of always seeing the brght side, or, if j
^ the thing ha* no bright side, of shining
wp the dark one, is a very important
faculty and one of the things no one
should be born without.

Governor Blease sent a message to
the Legislature yesterday in which he
urges that bod/ to appoint a conamittee
to investigate every transaction of
the winding up commisdvn of the old
State dispensary. Tae ice^a^e i-^ one
of the strongest ever s^m to the legis.laturo,the
governor hoeing to the line
on every point. Doubtless a committee
of tiii9 kind would teveal many
things of vital infcer^t to the prople
of the Suite. Let tt.e committee be
appointed by all meaus, who cares for
expenses?
There are events occurring in every
commnnity which, if reported in the
paper, would create a ssnna-uou little
dreamed of. Wuat to report and what
not to report often perplexes the editor.
He is often jastly accused of cowardice
and favoritism, when all the time he
is looking: toward the good reputation
? of tho town where his lot is c i*C. The
local editor from necessity almost constantly
finds himself between two firos,
and which ever way he turns he is sn re
to be^unjastly treated. Bat, after all,
this is one of the pleasures of the
newspaper business.
This is the season for planting seed,
and 'tis also the printers time of need.

build yourself an onion bed and, remember,
the printer must be fed. Souseveral
rows of early peas and pay for

earth 'round each strawberry vine and
if you want The Dispatch drop us a
line. Plant some potatoes to put in
$he hash and, remember, tne primer
is short of cash. 'Fix up a hill or so of
beans and with ye editor divide your
means. Of watermelons you'll need a
patch?the editor's pants needs one

then plant your corn and you'll raise
a big crop, as sure as you're born.
