It is a maximum of newspaper writing that esenr news story must answer these questions: ho.' What’ When? Where? How?” This should apply to country corres pondents as well as reporters on city pipers, for the elements oi interest me the same. This is sometimes overlooked. For example, in an excellent weekly a correspondent repoYting a tire in his neighborhood recalls the origin of twelve tires which have occurred in v bis locality in the last few years. \ This, as the correspondent says, is “interesting and of practical benefit to the readers of the j»aper.” Know ing how fires start, it is easier to guard against them. This item would have been far more interesting if the names of the persons who sus tained the loss in each instance had been given. It may be said that the readers of the paper would be sufli ciently familar with the fires to make this unnecessary but we doubt it. The same correspondent says, “I*e White is very ill.” Here we have a lack of details again.< We naturally ask what disease, how long he has been ill and what are his prospects lor recovery. It is assumed that all the readers of the paper know who Lee White is and where be lives. We find in a column of local items the same failure to mention impor tant details. We are told that bond ing companies have refused to furnish bonds for twelve saloons • ' 'a whose names are not given. The names would seem to be the most interesting point about it and should have been given unless there was gome yery good reason fur not doing Mi Again, we read a little boy was fiercely attacked by a large rooster. Who was the boy? Game protectors canght two fisher- in the possession of bass and fined |36 and costs. “The joke of it was that one of the fishermen was a son of the man who gave the tip?* to the officers of the law. How very interesting these names would have been to the readers of the paper We xetonixe fully that publishing « paper in the country in many re ■pacts and this of printing names, is mm of them—is quite different from yiKit^m«»£ i paper in a big city, ^reqaently it woald be bad policy to jtfet a name. Jn oaaee of the kind we have mentioned we oaaaot see any abject k* to it Perhaps (he habit ofcowdensiBg rendered aeoeenry by fife limitations of spans and oost of wcusposition is carried too far. Many country editors possets the knack of saying a great deal ia a few words, which (heir city oon temporaries might well emulate. In the paper feferswf wa find this item: M Volae^ Yiaoeai 9 s barn ia Cnyler banted the Other night, with a horse, a cow and • Oett A lantern rxploded while Mr Vincent was dootoriif a oow.*’ Hem we have the whole aftery with .01.00 80c 86c INTRODl’CTOHY. * The following editorial beginning a series by editor A. B. Cargile, edi tor of the Salndt^btandard, contains so much thonght that we reproduce it, aud if we nave space, we shall fol low up these articles. The Standard sayr This is the year to let the people choose their servants. We do not mean slave#— few officers peiform menial service: but the people have their own affairs of home and business and church and school to look after, an480, this year they are again called upon to name men whose duty it shall be to lay aside their own busineM affairs and devote themselves to the affairs of the people—and we agree that each* of us will contribute a small sum to pay these men for atttending to'our busineM instead cf their own. The trust imposed by the people in their officials has been too much lost sight of in the vortex of latter- da? politicks Too many men seek office altogether from personal motives. Men actully sometimes seek oflices the duties of which they are not able to perform-—and some times men are in some mysterious way elected to oflices the dunes of which they do not perform. Some men hope to get votes on pity, some on kinship, some on church connection, some on associa tions, tome on record—and some on brass. The chief asset of some who want office may be a feeling against somebody else, and their chief weap ons may be acrimony, invective, in trigue and anathema. And this is a sad state of atfrirs—where it exist We have not said that Saluda Conn ty has any such men in it, but we can tell if anybody resents, for it is always “the hit dog that hollers." Again, we often see men whose lives, either before or after election, do not honor the vote they received The poet must have foreseen this when he said: “God give us men. A time like this demands Great hearts, true faith, strong minds, and ready hands. Men whom tht LUST OF-OFFICE does not kill; Men u whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who have opinions, and a will; Men who have honor, men who will not lie: Men who can stand before a dem agogue And curae his treacherous flatteries without winking. Tall men sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and private thinking.” In filling offioes we are too likely to laae (sight of the fact that the of floe is greater than the man, and the performance of official duty ia too often secondary in importance io •uooeas in getting onr favorite elected The Standard may not be impo tent to discus what chatacteristics arc necessary to make a good officer, nor cf the claims of the pobho npon him after he ia elected, bat we mean to ditonss thin two-fold subject each week for several weeks, ccnsidering each office separately. We shall not ' 0 ■Undo to any incumbent oroandi- That would be stooping ower than a respectable paper oould afford to go, if we were even so inclined* but we hope to deal with facts, and we will (then invito friendly criticism. Ant it will oertaioly do no harm to consider the relations that exist between (he people and their official * trusties'’ and “beneficiaries.” I*.
