TME WEEKLY EMTORS. 1e Rest for the Weary-What a Week1: Editor Does. Kershaw Era. Our jocularly inclined cntempo rary, the esteemed Columbia State songht in its issue of December 21 to have a little fun at the expens< oi the Era for its suspension of pub lication for a single issue. involving wUat it .thought to: be, twelve days rest and solid comfort, free fron: the afflictions that plague and blas pheme the life of an editor. It hap pens, however, with the Era, as we suppose to be the case with very many weekly papers in South Car olina, that editorial work is not the only duty devolving upon the india vidual who poses as editor. Very mny times his routine of labor em braces every department of a news paper and job plant, business man agement and mechanical work in cluded; and the suspension of a week's publication of the paper barely enables him to catch up with the press of other duties that.-have overcrowd4d him in.4he rush and burry of the approaching holiday season, so that ht. can A. ready to commence the New Year without being overrowded. The State, however, understands -and is in positioft to appreciate the multitudiii6us vexations and wor ries we,weky. editors - have and only sought to have a little fun by ;way of tariety to relieve itself for a brief moment from the afflictions that plague. the life of an editor, and the expafations we have made in the foregoing are not needed for' Its enlightenment but are made for the benefit of those outside the pro lession who may not understand -that a week's suspension in the hol iday season by a weekly paper does not necessarily mean a long rest from labor by the employes. The Speaker and His New Suit. Charlotte Observer. We copy copiously from an edi forial in the. Washington Post: "It is not too much to say that everybody worth mentioning is next door to affectionate explosion in the wild desire to behold Uncle Joe Cannon in his new suit. of clothes. Our readers have not, of course, forgotten 'that the Speaker of the house received, a week or so ago, several yards of home-made cloth, which is rather loosely described by the thoughtless as 'jeans.' Anyhow the roll of 'jeans' has arrived. Mr. *Cannon has announced his purpose of having it converted into a suit K of clothes, and now the whole town is sitting up straight in reverent ex pectation." The Post then devotes several lines to the refutation of an idle -rumor, which had .become current, that the jeans were--or-was made in Illinois, saying, among other things:. "Naturally, the rumor met with well-deserved contempt. Nobody in Illinois knows anything about jeans. The humblest citizen of the state would scorn to touch a loom, even if there were one within a hundred miles to touch. The men are all in politics-with occasional devotion to the barn yard and the field-and the women.spead,most of their time at the peano * * * *Thetruth h been disclosed at last,- however, and we all know,. now that the cloth was woven in North Carolina -not in Illinois-and that the Hon. Joe Cannon will soon be arrayed in a product of the state which origi nally produced him, and from * which we have a right to expect nothing but the best." * All North Carolinians are behold en to the Post for its just and friendly reference to the only state in the Union that is worth while; but it does us too much honor in giving North Carolina credit for this bolt of jeans. That glory be longs to our neighbor common wealth, South Carolina, and the bolt from which this beauchious suit is to be made was presented to *the speaker by Representative Wyatt Aiken of the third district of the state last named. Having made this important correction we return to the Post: "Naturally, there is a widespread and a reverent, if not burning, curi osity to see the great and only Toe Cannon endued in that new suit. Presumably, this suit will I constructed here in Washingtoi This justifies a certain local pridi Moreover, we have the very best c reasons for believing that Mr. Car non will fit a suit of North Carolin jeans very much as the paper fil the walL The coat may hump ot in the back, and the pants bag large ly at the knee. The vest, too, i likely to present the general appeal ance of a pouch such as the yearlini pelican displays to her belove young. But what of thet? S much was, humanly speaking, quit inevitable. You don't get a Nort Carolina jeans suit without gettin at the same time certain North Car olina graces and peculiarities." We cannot construe this othe than as a throwing off on the dres of the North Carolinians who ar known in Washington. "M-.

It may be -that the Post harks. back to the day of fusion, when one of the North Carolina representatives lived at a fried meat house -in Washingtor and changed his linen every other week. . We hasten to the Post's conclu sion: "We are not in a position to an nounce with anything like authority the first appearance of Mr. Cannor and the jeans upon -the'- avenne. There are some revelations f.oo beautiful and tender for our proph ecy1. We can only say, in a general but highly respectful way, that the visit may be expected at any mo ment after this. With a slouch hat, a -Pittsburg cigar, a pair of suitable shoes, and the usual chin whiskers in bold relief, Mr. Cannon may be looked for at almost any moment, sporting his North Carolina jeans and expectorating with almost su FOR AUWTE PR Bring us y -~ wilibe fil more than for them. * FIIR ROER BOO9 Our line-o Nipples, 1 is new an .fit your pri FOR TOILET ARTICl We carry of Extract * ders, Soaj Talcum is 6 oz. botti Violet ext: an ounce. * .GILDER e pernatural accuracy in the direction C i. of the passing trees." e But we must again disclaim the b jeans. d -Lf AN ORDINANCE t Be It Ordained By the Mayor and C Aldermen of the Town of New- c s berry, South Carolina, in Council c assembled and by authority of the 0 I same.
