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.

Pain! Adulterated
76 Per Cent.
Devoe knows what the paints are
all made-of, you know; he has to. In
Wilson, N. C., are two dealers. One
of'em thinks he can't sell paint for
more than $1 a gallon; the other won't
have such stuff in his store?3ells Devoe
lead-and-zinc, of course. '
The $1 paint is adulterated 76 per 1
cent; Devoe i9 all lead and zinc and
linseed oil, with as little good dryer as s
possible. A gallon Devoe has in it a
ittle more paint than four gallons of
the other. A gallon Devoe will cover (
mnon ftG fnnr of the other. Who j r
OO uiuvu Wtf ?
wants to pay wages for painting four
gallons for one? "
How much is Devoe lead-and-zinc
worth in that town? ,
