NE1A ARTESIAN WELL.
IhsOty Cour.cil is thinking of
Mw another artesian well soon
The old well has played oat and the
nip— which run hundreds of feet
below, will probably be pulled up
and used in the new well. It has
not yet-been decided where the new
well will be dug. — Orangeburg Sun.

The House will not agree to this end
unlem some compromise be reached
the probable remit will be- no road
law legislaton, which with the roads
in their present condition, would be
a calamity. This substitute law will
raise about the same revenue as the
pneeent law, and leave the same
avenues for waste of the funds. We
cannot see much improvement on
the old except the provisions for
'levying and collecting, the tax.
Our good friend, representative
Dodd, will we know, allow us to
urge the passage of a compromise
bill along, the lines formerly sug
gested in these columns. Senator
Griffin will we believe, concur in
such ameasur.

What To Expect Of Year
Those who commend newtpspera
hove fallen into the habit of throwing
an ueneoeaaary {whale in
the wordt!**! do not agree with nil
that the editor eaje:’*
As if any editor wen so vain as to
expect that he could bring every one
to his opinion by merely expreasinf,
it! As if it were definable that your
newspaper's opinions should have
been anticipated by yourself—and so
he stale, flat and unprofitable!
No, indeed, the editor does not ex
peot to rush into a world of diverse
voices and bring them nil to one! Mr.
Dooley and the college graduates
make him vain by their magnificient
exposition of ihe power of the prem;
bnt not that vain.
When you take up a paper do not
expect to find the mere shadow and re
fection of your own mighty cogita
tion* If that is all you should get
you aould be cheated, but look lor
the expression of an honest and right-
meaning heart; for opinions that you
c»n match with your own for honesty
and candor, for information and
thought that correct or incorrect, is
intelligent, reasonable, and well-
meant. That is all you should expect
of an editor.
There are editors that flourish by
having no opinions. They records
events and follow the crowd.
There are editors that interpret
the mind of the people and reflect it
upon them again. They are popular.
You like them. But they do you do
good Yon admire them because they
think what yon think. Did it ever
occur to you that unlem yon get
new opinion now and then, you wil*
go to seed—in ooooeit and vanity?
And there are editors who strike
right oat with their opinions. They
do not ask, “What do the people
want?" Their question is, M Whnt u
best?" And they are not as nnpopn
lar as some, think Biblical Recorder.
