The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, MAY 24,1911. G M. Hakman, Editor and Publisher D. R. Haltiwakgeb, Assistant Editor. Entered at tbe Post Office at Lexington, S. 0., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.32:. Notice Subscribers, A Bine X on your paper denotes vou are in arrears. A Red X 9hows that your subscription expires in the issue crossed. Those subscribers who are in arrearq will please bear in mind that the printer is ever in need of his dues} and that we will appreciate an ear remittance. -stop mtTpaperT* The highest duty of an editor is to battle with wrong. This, of course, , brings him in conflict with wrong do - * era and they are apt to 9Jiow tneir spite in various ways. It is quite common for the thin skinned or wounded to rush into the office and shout "Stop my paper!" This class is pointedly shown up in the following fasnion: A certain man hit hi9 toe against a pebble, and fell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, and under influence of anger and self-sufficiency he kicked mother earth right sauchy. With imperturbeble gravity, he looked to see the earth itself dissolved and come to naughty But the earth remained, and only his poor foot was injured iu Uie encounter. This is the way of man. An article in the newspaper touches him in a weak spot, and forthwith he sends to stop his paper. With great complacency he lcoks to see the crash, when he finds he only hit his toe against a world that does not perpetually feel the shock, ar-a injures no one but himself. No sensible editor erpects to please everybody. Such an editor lays no claim to infallibility, and may at times even fall into error. But an outspo-ken, independent journal, aiming to support the right and attack the wrong, is such a power for good in any community that well-balanced minds will look over little faults in view of the greater benefits conferred. An editor who is afraid to speak out on public questions for fear of offending somebody, may have an easy time of it; but he will never amount to much as a leader of opinion. Thoughtful people will generally honor independence; and for every subscriber lost in battling for the right he will' likely fiad two to take the place. This is according to the law of compensation.? Os6ining Republican. Tae managers of the social clnbs t f Lexington are to be commended for their action in closing their places of 0 business on the Sabbath day. This is as.it should be. But few people ol jects to the running of these clubs so loog as they are operated-in a decent and orderly manner, and we are sure that it is the intention of the managers to carry out the law to the letter.
