WUlkinsTille. April 9.—Rev. T. F.
Boozer will preach at Salem on the
third Sabbath of this morth—the
21st at 11 o’clock.
The rain Friday night. Saturday
morning and yesterday was a great
help to wheat oats and hard land.
Though it Is quite cold and wlntery
We have see no special evidence of
damage to fruit or crops as vet.
We attended preaching at Abing
don Creek last Sabbath. Rev. C. M-
Teal chose for his text Revelation
3:20, “Behold. I stand at the door and
knock; if any man hear my voice
' and onen the door. I will come In to
him, and will sup with him. and he
with me."
The speaker first tool'.' the view of
the church standing idle with closed
doors while the overturnes of love,
mercy and blessings stood on the out
side ready to cross the threshold and
bestowed its benefactions upon the
inmates the moment the door was
opened and He was admitted upon
the terms of the gospel. He then ap
plied the text to the tapping of the
human conscience at the door of the
sinners heart when the Holy spirt
was seeking admittance. Map is a
free agent endowed with the right
to choose betwen life and dentil right
and wrong and God never has nor
never will save a man or •yoman
against their own will. A voluntary
surrender of the heart Is a Prerequi
site to salvation. Upon no other
terms nor conditions is salvation of
fered. The ftixt shows that God is wil
ling and waiting to be gracious to
those who will accept Him.
Rev. Mr. Teal Is very popular not
only with his own people but with
people of other denominations.
The Abingdon Creek Sunday school

This should not be the case Yet we

The crowning process in book
learning has become so prevalent as
to exclude the possibility of the
children learning anything thorough
ly. When the child’s mind is over
loaded with so many different studies
it can’t properly digest anv of them
and consequently it Is damaged
rather than strengthened as the re
sult. For this many parents are to
blame. If their children don’t “go
through’’ their book with consider
able rapidity thev think the teacher
isn’t doing his or her duty and conse
quently has to step down and out or
take a good deal of abuse in a round
about way. Its not so much what a
man eats as how well he digests it
that gives him strength.
It is harder for us to unlearn ojir
errors than to acquire correct ideas

In particular, is a leader—some one
to champion the cause and lead the
forces to victory.
Some one has said: “I would

Rev. Mr. Teal expects to hold a

A most noted case of gormandizing
on raw peas is told by one of our
neighbors who got a darkey to help
him plant them. The darkev was to
drop the peas*while our neighbor
was to cover them with the plow. In
a half a day they planted (or he
thought) a peck of peas. Thajt eve
ning he got another dropper and a
good stand of peas followed. Of the
peas the first one dropped not a
single one of them came up. He af
terwards found out that the first
had droppAl the peas Into his mouth
instead of the furrow and he had
eaten the whole of them—a jeeb.
Our readers must determine for
themselves which is the biggest, the
tale or the mes« of peas eaten, by the
darkey.

It is reported that the board of
trustees of School District No. 10,
have selected as a site for one of the
school buildings a small triangular
lot of land lying between the inter
section of Cherokee avenue and the
main line of the Southern Railway
company. We should have been in
clined to discredit this report, though
it har not been denied, for the reason
that it did not seem probable that a
body of reasonable men, charged
with such a delicate duty, would have
selected a location that possesses not
a single qualification for school pur
poses except the area of land embrac
ed in the lot.
Leaving out the danger of the
situation, which is obvious to every
one and leaving out of consideration
the uneasiness of parents for the safety
of their children, and the additional
freedom of care and vigilance, that
the teachers, from necessity must ex

perable objection.
During school hours there will be
from ten to twenty trains, perhaps,

Newspaper Management.
(American Press.)
The Racine (Wis.) Journal in an
editorial on the business end of a
newspaper points out that no busi
ness requires more careful manage
ment owing to numerous details which
must be carefully looked after. “The
Journal, for instance." it says “has ac
counts with over 7,000 people, sub
scribers to the daily and weekly edi
tions. epH, besides these, there are
hnn«;- Is of advertisers. There
are ■ few r than 2,000 changes
a year, people added to and
dropped from the list, and they all
demand and have a right to expect
an accurate account of every cent
paid in. There is not a local busi
ness in Racine that has so large a
number of individual accounts.”
The Journal’s statement was doubt
less a revelation to many of its read
ers. There Is another feature of the
management of a paper even more
Important and of which the public is
in greater ignorance—viz. the prop
er adjustment of the editorial and the
business policy so that a newspaper

publishers—in the jargon of the of
fice. the conflict between upstairs and
downstairs. With the editor of stout
heart and clear vision realizing that
h° is the watchman on the walls
who must give notice of the anoroach-
ing enemy and on the other hand,
the business manager who sees that
a certain editorial will alienate power
ful business interests, it reojiires
more courage, good judgment and
diplomac'. successfully to run the
average neswpaper than it does to
conduct a governor’s office.
It is perhaps "-en more trving in
the case of the one man newspaper,
whose proprietor must be editor and
business manager. The conflict be
tween upstairs and downstairs then
fakes nlace in his own breast, and
what fierce battles thev often are! Is
it any wonder that editors sometimes
make mistakes? It would be a mar-
ve - if thev did not.

Popular Conception of Reporters.
(American Press.)
It would be interest! ag to know
just how many persons get their
idea of the qualificatioas of a new#-
paper reporter from David Copper-
field. His struggles to master short
hand. a herculean task as the art was
then taught, as a necessary part of
his preparation for newspaper work,
has evidentlv left a widespread an4
deep impression on the public mind.
A Irage proportion of the uninitiat
ed now regard stenography as abso
lutely necessary to newspaper report
ing. Recently, referring to the news
paper reports of a meeting in his
town, a gentleman of more than
average intelligence remarked half
apologetically that the papers did not
have a shorthand reporter present.
It was surprising to him to leagi that
newspapers rarely make stenographic
reports of the proceedings of any
meeting and that in many cases re
quiring expedition the copy boom to
the editor just as it is written on the
spot.
It need hardlv be pointed out here
that it is fortunate for speakers that
the public does not get a verbatim re
port. They frequently complain
loudly of misrepresentation. The
majority of them would utterly dis
own their impassioned orator? if they
could see it in cold tvpe as it fell
from their lips. Few of them know
bow much they really owe to the re
porter. who puts their disiointfd sen- 4
teeees into readable shape, corrects
their grammatical errors and omit
unimportant parts of their speech,
which would have the tendency to
make them very dull reading.
We remember hearing a court re
porter say that the highest compli
ment he ever got was from a lawyer
whom he never reported verbatim.
This lawyer was verv careless in his
speech, slouchy in his language, given
to such pronunciation as “whac”- and
“thar” and utterly indifferent as to
w'heth^r his nouns and verbs agreed.
The renortor w r as always careful to
report him in elegant language, earn
ing his gratitude. “You are the only
reporter.” he told him repeatedly,
“who ever -motes me correctly,’’
The newspaper reporter must go
even further. He must divjne the
speaker’s thought and make him say
what he intended to say. wuat he
would Probably have written if he
had committed it to paper. This of
course gives the reporter wid£ lati
tude. hut if he is conscientious ap<'
fair he will not take advantage of ft
to misrepresent the speaker.
The Hawthorn#- Musical Club.
The universal opinion of those who
attended the entertainment given bv

the best attractions that have been
