1 ? ? 1' .? BII,I, ARP 18 AT HOME AGAIN. 1 /HAI) TROUBLE GKTTINU TU KHK The Kall road CJate* Were lllockcd and Ho Took I'akMnge on Another Line. Home again and happy. Children and grandchildren mot mo at tho de pot and escorted mo home, whoro a bountiful supper was awaiting, and i asked tho same old blowing that 1 havo boon asking for fifty years, only It was with unusual gratitude, for 1 hud boon in peril < of wind and water and escaped them. 1 was wuary with long travol, and now I could rest. 1 left New Al bany at midnight, reached Birming ham at daylight, only (Ivo minutes late, and had live minutes' time to buy a ticket for Pell City, and from thoro 1 wau to board tho Kast and West for homo. How happy I was. Hut alas ! for human hopes. I low soon they can vanish Into ucspuir. Thoro woro about a hundred big, blues:, greasy negro proachors ahead of mo at tho ticket oMoc. Their Haptist convention had boon broken up, and thoy woro going homo on the southbound train, ami had an hour to go on, but they would not lot mo advance an Inch. I hurried back to tho gutokuepor and bogged him to lot mo In, for my train was wait ing, and 1 pointed to tho crowd of ne groes and told him it was impossible for mo to got a ticket. He said ho was B?rry, but ho had his orders. I hurried back to make ono more effort, but a big tquuro shouldered preacher, with a back as broad as u barn door, had dropped a dime on tho Hour and half a dozen woro down hunting for lt. 1 hailed tho ticket man, but ho novor hoard or hoodod ino. Frantic, I rushed back to tho iron gates, und saw ray train slipping off like u snako In tho grass, and thut oHlolal automation would not lot mo pass. " 'Calnst or ders," ho said. Blackatono sayB there is a remedy for ovory wrong, but thoro were no railroads In his day, or ho wouldn't havo written those linos. I had no roraody, and there la none. What could I do V No train for Poll City for twelve hours, and nono from Pell City for my homo for twenty-four hours. 1 was so tlrod and so disappointed that I sat down to ruminate on my vallso. I was weak and sad and pitiful, (or there Is no disappointment so distressing to mo as being loft by a train when going homo. Just then a drummer, God bless him ! came up and spoke to mo, unu Bald, "My friend, 1 am pretty much in the sumo tlx you aro, but wo can go by Chattanooga, for tho Ala bama Groat Southern la an hour late this morning. It's schedule Is to loavo hero thirty minutes boforo wo arrived, but It has not como yot, and wo havo half uu hour to get our tickets. Those preachors aro nourly all out of tho wuy now." I roao to my foot. I saw how It was, and that I would loso only one hour in getting home. Iii my huurt I revived, and like David whUpored, *' Bless tho Lord, O my soul." We got our tickets, and In four hours woro In Chattanooga, where I telegraphed my wife, " liold tho fort; I'm comlnir." And so " All's well thut ends well," und no thunks to those who mnnugo thut Iron-hound pen at Hlrmlngham. But I found tho cutost little narrow gaugo ruilroud in Mississlpi thut 1 have soon In many years. I didn't know there wus ono loft. It is cullod tho (iulf und Chicago railroad, hut thoy began to build it in tho raiddlo many years ugo und built sixty mileB and quit. You can ride ull duy on It for $1 00. It doesn't seem to huvo uny schedule, and tho folks along tho lino just wait for It und seem content. Thoy suy, " Well, It's our roud : It ull we've got, and thoy do tho best they can." Tho owners uro clovor men und will wult on you hulf ud hour if you tclo phono them. Thoy are very accommo dating, especially going South, for thoy huvo no connections to raako. I boarded that train ut Bluo Mountuin at 1 p. m. for l'ontotoc, whoro I was to locturo that night ut 7:H0 o'clock, it was only thirty miles, but wo didn't got there until 8.15 o'clock, und my audi onco didn't gl vo up tho ship. They salu It was their road?tholr only roud?and thoy know its peculiar way-*. Wo stopped when within throo miles of town, and after hulf an hour or so 1 asked what wus tho rauttor, und wus told that tho stoum had given out. Beforo that tho train stopped in tho woods somewhere and then began to back. I ventured to ask what was tho muttor and wus teld that tho brake man had dropped his cob pipe and thoy had gone back to look for It. But It was a railroad and I had no right to complain, for 1 romombor when thora wus not u ruilroud in tho United States. Whon I wus seven yours old I camo from Boston to Georgia overland in u curriago with my father and mother, 1,200 miles, und wo novor crossed e. ruilroud, for thoro wus not ono to cross; und now thero uro l'.lo.OOO mllcB In thcBO United States. No, 1 am happy on tho way on any railroad, ovon if it Is thirty miles short and four hours long. It boats tho old stago coach u long ways. I tried a huggy team from Kiploy to Bluo Mount, only u six mile drlvo und like to havo got drowned. I got fundamentally and distressing Iy wet. 1 shall wult for tho narrow guugo next tlmo. Oh, thut cyclone. I haven't quit tolling about It yet. Next morning a man who was In It und undor It und on top of it suld ho went out to shut his mules up in tho stuolo, and boforo ho could say Jack Uoblnson, It plckod him up and turned him u thousand somorsaults, and while ho was turning he hoard his mules a braying In tho air abovo blm. " (h-nt leinen," said he, "that are. a faot, if I ovor told it; and tho thing just lot mo down in Jinny Jonos's pota to patch as oasy as u womun lays hor baby In tho eradle." That college at Bluo Mountain Is a marvel to mo. It was foundod twenty flvo yours ugo by Gonoral Lowroy, u great big-huurtod mun, who, like Bon Adbom, loved his follow men. It wus at first a high school for tho bom lit of tho poor girls In tho neighborhood und expanded into u college. Whon he Med his sons and sons in law took hargo and contlnuod to expand, and ow thoro aro iH)0 girls thoro ; over 200 o fthom aro boarders ut $12 per month. The othors llvo In cottages near by and board thomsolvos at u cost of about $5 a month, for thoy do tholr own work. Largo handsomo brick buildings havo been built and more uro bolng built Bountiful springs from tho mountain side furnish ubundunt pure water for everything. Thoro 19 a dairy farm near by '.nd vegetable gardens, und evorytLing movos liko clockwork. Professor Lowroy is a man of untir ing onorgy und 6ays that work 1b his host recreation. He. took mo on a ro mantic drlvo to tho top of the moun tain and the, village graveyard, and whon wo returned ho called for his four llttlo children, Including the baby, and took them to rldo. I liked that. It doos not tako mo long to dlagiioso a good husbaod and kind father. Thoro was no barbor in tho vlllago and ho brought to rao his flno lawn mowor razor that cost $5, and when ho saw how awkward and norvous I was, ho said, "Oh, let mo do that," and ho mowod tho gray stubblo off in a mlnuto. Ever hoar of a collogo preaidoi.t doing that? I was specially interested In a y >ung man, Ernest Guyton, tho only ><>y In college. Ho Is totally blind, tut is getting a Urst-class education through Is ears. Ho listens eagerly to tho recitations, koepsup with the foremost and is now studying Latin. Illsmothor or sister reads to him every night and the family aro all proud of him, for he is not only bright mentally, but cheer ful and handsome. He told mo that being blind never distressed him and he was happy all the time, for every body was so good to him. IIow kind Providence Is to the sffltoted.

An unknown friend has sont me a poetic gem called "The Chango In Farmer Joo," by Sboldon Stoddard. 1 wlah that It could be read by ovcry husband in the land, for it tolla In ooauttful ver-o how Joo had long pur sued money for money's eako and gavo bis loving, long suffering s7lfo fuw com forta and none of the luxuries or orna ments ttiat brighten upa womans home.

Hut ho Bald no, he couldn't afford lt; and ho worked early and late and wa8accumu lating money. Tho poem tolls how ho loft her ono morning and noticed a tear In her oyo as it dropped down on bur pale cheek, and bo got to thinking about It In tho cornfield, and that tear haunted him and bo recalled the long years of tholr married lifo and bow patient she bad been with him ami tbo little children and nursed him when sick and watched them by night and by day. Suddonly he came tobimself and stopped his mule. In tho middle, of tho row and hurried homo and hltohod up tho buggy and went tu town like ho wan going for the doctor. He bought a nice carpet and sumo curtains and ether comforts and drovo home llko Johu and tumbled them all at the frout door. " Hero, Sally, come hero, bloss your dear heart : you shan't cry any more." And ho nurrled back to the cornfield. Well, I liked that, and I fool now like going to townaud buying a now carpet for my wife. Wo men forget that a woman has to stay at homo all the time.

Plokrell died at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon at the homo of her daughter, Mrs. Kate Norrie, at Broyles, In this county. She was the widow of tho lato Jonathan Plokrell, Esq.. who died five years ago at the age of 97, and herself lacked till tho 10th ol February of completing her ninety-fourth year. She had been sick hut a short time and her doath was duo solely to tho Intlrmltlos of extreme ago. She suffered but little and passed away without a groan or a strugglo. Notwithstanding tho great weight of years her strength of mind and body was remarkably well preserved, and tho liro of her religious experience burned brightly to tho end. Only a fow days boforo nor death sho caught tho hand of her daughter who was ministering to hor and pressing It warmly exclaimed with rapture, " as seoing Him who Is invlaiblo," " Glory bo to God ; praise Hie holy namo !" Sho had boon a member of tho Metho dist church aovonty-tivo yoara, pro bably longer, and during that long tlmo?a much longer time than is al lowed most people to serve in tho church militant?Bho was uniformly loyal to tho church of hor fathers, con stantly exemplifying tho soundness and saving power " o'on down to old ago" of tho religion of tho Lord Jesua Christ. Mrs. Plokrell was born on Nantuckot Island, ofT tho coast of Massachusetts, and was a daughtor of Abraham Coffin, also a native of Nantuckot, and one of tho first porsons of tho leland to em brace Methodism when tho old religion with a new and consuming z-al swept the dead occleslaBtlciam of New Eng land aa a pralrlo tiro. Her mother's father, William Bunker, a Baptist, was caught by tho tido of Methodism, as hor father's peop'o, who woro Pres byterians, had boon, and ho gavo tho land upon which the first Methodist church on Nantucket was built. When she was ten yoara of ago she heard tho celebrated evangelist, Lo renzo Dow, preach in Providence, Rhode Island, whore her fathor was living at the tlmo, and to hor dying day she kopt fresh in mind her Impres sions of tho man and his manner. The preachor was unwell and after the aervlco In tho court house?there was then no Molhodiat church In tho city? decided to re6t there till tho evening appointment. During tho Interval a lady, sympathizing with tho evange list in his indisposition, brought him somo refreshments and subsequently beeamo his wife. During tho year 1811) Mr. Cotlln, Mrs. Plckrell'a father, a man posaossod of a wide rango of practical knowledge decided, in view of tho widespread businea8 gloom that hung ovor tho Eastern States aa a result of tho war of 1812, to remove to South Carolina. His resolution to come South was largely determined by tho Insistence of his friend, Philip Weavor, who had al ready come to South Carolina and established a little cotton mill in dpar tanburg County. Accordingly^ Mr. Coffin sailed with his family from Providence that year and reached Charleston after a stormy voyago of throo weeks. They wore mot In Charloaton by Mr. Weavor'a wagons and convoyed to tho little mill up In Spartanburg, and thus Mrs. Pickroll became an operatlvo In the 11 rat cotton mill established In South Carolina. A few yoara lator Mr. Coffin removed toa similar mill on Roody River, a fow miles bolow Greonvlllo, and from there ho went about tho year 182? to tho Fork section of this county to tako a half lntoreat In a 8mall yarn mill which tho Rev. Lovl Garrison, father of the lato Honry Garrison of this county, had oatabllshed on Little Hoavordam croik one-fourth of a mllo bolow what Is now known as Broylos Mill. It was hero that Mrs. Pickroll waa married January 15, 1828, the Rev. Mr. Garrison porformlng tho coromony. Sho waa tho mother of thirteen child ren, ton of whom grow to maturity. One of her sons, a promising- young man, was killod in battlo at Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, as a mombor of tho Second South Carolina l Mien dur ing tho civil war. Four of hor child ren, Mra. Kate Nnrrls and Mra. Edrew Cromor of the Fork; Mra. John C. Gantt, of Hartwell, Georgia ; and Mr. William B. Plokrell, of Texas, survive her. Tho Rev. Honry Baseom Browno, a prominent member of the South Carolina Conforonco, and Dr. Walker G. Browne of Atlanta, Oeorgia, distin guished in the profosalon of dental sur gery, aro her nephews. Mrs. Plckrell'a body was interred yesterday beeltlo that of hor husband at Smith Chapel in tho Fork, in whloh church pho had held an unbroken membership for a period of sovonty five years, tho llko being probably without a parallol In tho State. ?Tho cornerstone of the Charleston exposition building will bo laid on Deo. 11.

Tim <?>8rrvatloiiH of an IDtelll|(6nt Visitor Aiiioiiic thn Cotton Mills of tho 1'icdiiioiit Section. Mr. N. C. Gonzales, tbo editor of Tho Stute, hus given his Impressions of tho management und policy of tho cotton rnilla In Creonvillo und Anderson couu tlen as obtulnod In u rocont visit to some of tho largest mills, whoro every facility was givon him to form a just conclusion und obtain a fuir Insight us to tho prohloin of child lubor und as to tho facilities for educating the child reu of suitable ugo. Ills statement of tho situation is us follows : In this Stato thoro uro not lacking cotton manufacturers of broad views and progressive solrlt who real!/, j that the time has come for tho regulation by luw of the lubor of minors und tho prohibition of child lubor In our mills. They not only porcoivu thut tho issue presented must bo solved but they aro willing to contribute to tho solution of it and they rouli/.o tho fuct that great j public Interests require tho education j of tho generation which In a few yours more I? to control tho destinies of South Carolina. Last week tho editor of Tho Stato re turned from a visit to tho Creonvillo und Anderson mill districts where ho wus given the opportunity to soo what hud been dono for the betterment of con ditions In tho mill villages and tho education uf tho chlldreu and to learn taut whotovor might be the ubusoB olsowhoro thoro was at least one group of cotton mills In South Carolina whero the duty of employers to tbo employed und the responsibilities resting upon manufucturors for tho futuro of tho children of tho factories wero fuil" realized. It is not possible to go into grout dotull in an urticlo like this, but It can bo said that tho rovolutlon of lntcrost In tho ohlldret on tho part of theso manufacturer.t was gratifying. At tho Piedmont mills, a community of somo :i.0UU pjjpio, tho property of I which Is owned und controlled uOso lutelv by tho manufucturing company, Col. James L. Orr, tho president, ox I hlbited with justiliablo prldo tho two graded schools established und main tained by tho corporation for tho chil dren of tho operatives. Tho pruotlcul every duy work for tho schools us soon showed thut tho children woro woll tuught as woll us woll housed und thut tho uttondunco uo to tho 12 year olds was large. Col. Orr said that It was his earno t endeavor to koop children under 12 out of tho mills, but that his efforts had not boon fully successful by reason of misrepresentations us to ago made by tho parents of somo children. In the mill- fow Celldrou who seemed to be under ago woro encountered. Tho Piedmont company muintalns for Its mill operatives u free circulutlng lib rary contuloing thousands of volumes of wholesome roudlng mutter, vurylng from tho Instructive to tho ontortalu ing, which Is frooly patronlzod by tho help, who uro oncouruged to tako books to tholr homes aud uro permitted to keep them thore u fortnight at a timo. Tho registration at this llbrury shows un uvorugo of 8,000 volumes read an nually. Of tho ample church facilities; of Piedmont It is not nocoBsury to spcuk. Tho proporty of tho Polzor Manufac turing company constitutes u veritable principality. Tho completeness of tho town of Pelzor, ovory ucro und build ing of which is owned by tho corpora tlon, has been written of so ofton of lato that evory newspaper reader in South Carolina must know what u uniquo und romarkublo placo it is. There are over 0,000 people at Pelzor, and Capt. Ktlison A. Smyth, tho presi dent of tho great corporation with Its four mills and 120,000 spindles, is per haps tho best exponent this sldo tho island of Guam of a "benevolent des potism. " Iiis greut IntoroBt In tho wol furo of tho community over which ho presides und bis minute attention to its needs must lmpresB ovory one who makes tho rounds of tho Institutions of Polzor. There Is * lino now graded school building, soadous and admir able arranged, u iyctum, opon ull the week, with its roudli.g room, game room and facilities for wholesome social iutorcourso, u kindergarten and sovoral churches which would bo cred itablo to a largo city. That Capt. Smyth fully recognizes tho Importance of educating tho children of tho mill communities and of prohibiting their employment In tho fuctorlos until thoy huvo ucquirod the bases of a good com mon school education is shown by tho following form of contract which ho requires to huvo signed by tho heads of ull families taking employment with tho company und occupying Its dwell ings. There Is a book full of signatures to this agreement: WiiEllKAS, 1, with my family, Intend tone eupy one of tho dwelling houses belonging to tho Pelzor Manufacturing- Company, in tho tow n of Pelzer, 8.

A similar agreement Is required of I all employes of tho Bolton mills, of which Capt. Smyth is also the prcsl- I dent?tho only dllTerenco being that the children are rtqulred to attend the " public school at Helton," which is said to bo a graded and excellent ono. Capt. Smyth's progrosslvoness In these matters Is emulated by Mr. L'swla W. Parker, president of the Victor cotton mill at Creers and tho now Monaghan mill just built in the suburbs of Groeovlllo. This latter mill Is one of the tinest in tho Slate, but Is not yet In operation. Its village and surroundings aro laid out,with excel lent taste and already form an attrac tive picture A lino school building is about to bo erected on tho properly. At Qreere Mr. Parker's company has built for the mill operatives a graded school building which would be an or uament to any town. It la handsome and tasteful within and without, and ia equipped with apodal features em bodying tho most advanced Ideas. A well appointed kindergarten la con ducted In connection with tho school, a pretty church la attached to It, and there la a lurgo hall ovurhoad which will bo uaed for freo locturea of an In structive naturo for tho benctlt of the operatives?a feature, by the way, which haa been provided for at Pol/.ar as well. A number of other mills wero soon, but these wero tho most advanced Id the mattors hero under consideration. At the Anderson cotton mill President Brock took apeclal prido in tho quality and appearance of hia oporativea, which wore Indeed exceptionally good. Tho ages of children soon at work varied in tho ditferent mills : some managers wore by no means as caroful aa other* in excluding tho amull ones and in supplying them with ample educational facilities?but everywhere there waa recognition of tho fact that tho labor of tender children in the milla waa an evil to bo deprecated and remedied and that a moral obligation lay upon mill owners to provide facili ties fo ? their education and If possible to onforco the use of these facilities. Wo have reason to boliovo that when tho Legislature ahall meet it will bo found that progressive manufacturers will meet half-way those who are unx ious to abolish child?or rather, infant ?labor In tho eotton mills and to com pel the atteirlance of mill children on tho public schools. In truth, it ia no less for their Interest than that of the operatives themselves that there, shall ho a law on this aubj ;ct; for tho hu mane and public aplritod munufac. :?*or who carrleaout at considerable costhi? plans for the betterment of mill condi tions is now at a dlsadvantugo compar ed with those who neglect auch provla iona. What old mllla and now mills In tho Greenville district can do of their own volition, believing that It ia right and expedient to do, old mills and new milla olsuwhoro can fairly bo required to do. We aro convinced that somo compulsion of law ahould bo put upon oporativea to send their little child ren to tho schools provided for tbora. Many of these children aro from the mountain districts of this and other States, where educational facilities have been lacking, and they do not real'zo as the majority do tho valuo of this instruction to their children. It ia beat for all Interested that tho State ahould establish aa nearly as It can somo uniformity of obligation and of opportunity, ao that thoao who aro unworthy ahall not protit to tho detri ment of tho worthy. Lot tho question bo considered without prejudice or heat, and tho bO'ution, wo are sure, will bo to tho permanent advantage of South Carolina. As She Described It.?It was tho first day of school. Tho bell had tap ped and tho little children of tho sec ondary primary wore sitting upright in their seats, hands proporly folded and with round oyos fixed on tho now teacher, taking a mental Inventory. Sho was a bit nervous. It waa her lirut school. Tho children mado her " Hugely," they btared at hor ho hard and watched her so narrowly.

CjucBtlon followed quoatlon, touching on divorae aubj-jcta. ''Now, who knows what a ako'.oton Is?" asked tho teacher, soiling coax lngly. Too llttlo girl woarlng tho pink gingham apron and occupying tho back seat waved her hand wildly and workod her mouth in frantio endeavor to get " teacher " to look at hor. ? Woll, what la It?"

A CONF KUIIATK AKHONAIT. ' _ i The Attempt Made to Hcatroy (imnl'h Army by MeaiiH of an Air Ship. A few tiny-, ago a porton who had liei u reading an account of an expert- j mint trip of Count Z ?ppellD's air ship remarked that in u few more years | peoplo will travel in air instead of on the solid earth. Iron and stool rails will lose their value because railroads ! will go out of use. The now modo of travel will bo more pleasant, for there ! will bo no dust and. by rising hlghor, | as necessity may require, the happy traveller may keep cool. Travelling in the air by moans of , balloons is not of vory remote date. The tlrst successful t xi)<jrlmeats in this lino were inu?o in France about \1H'l, whon the balloon sailed across the Soino and a part of Paris, remain ing In the air twenty live minutes. A balloon was used for military observa tion at the battle of Fleurus, fought in 17114. A groat deal concerning aoro-tation can bo found in botks and newspapers, but thoru is ono experiment that seems to bavo escaped tho notice of tho cu rious, and of which thoro is no record I sj far as tho writer knows. In tho winter of 1804 (if, Gen. Kjbert j H. Loo and his army were defending Petoreburg, Virginia. Tho troops wero stretched out aloog tho 'Ines perhaps at tho rato of odo to every ono hundred yards, nations wero scarce and clothing scant, and there wero many other discomforts, hut tho spirit of the veterans wero superior to all of theso depressing circumstauces and they were abio to oujoy a good thing. MeCowan's brigade held tho works not far from Battory l") (or the Star Fort) and near where the great dum was ouilt. One cold, raw day tho brl gado was culled out, without arms, to hour u speech from a sclontilic person ago who wus Introduced us "Profs" j Blunk. Tho old toldiors crowded i uround und took their seuts on the cold ground, und he unfulde.1 his scheme for demoralizing und driving uwuy Cruut's army, lie had just Invented an air ship. In shape It wus something' liko a bird und for that rouson he hud called ll " Artls Avis," or "Tho Bird of Art,'' which wus the. meaning of the two Latin words.

A Newspaper With a Proper Iterant tor tho Limits of Reflect Able Journalism. Spnrtauhurg Evening Journal. A demand is sometimes nude for newspapers that tell tho truth, Somo people roier slightingly to tho contents of newspapers as hoing of suspicious character so far as Its veracity is con corned, and say that newspapers should stick closely to facts and tell the truth, tho whole truth and nothing but the truth. It does not ulwuys suit to toll tho j truth. Tho truth is sometimes better left untold. The same people who I complain because tho newspapers do I not tell tho truth also criticise the newspapers for hoing too sensational If tho newspapers should print what they know, there would be somo sensa tions Indeed. Ttioy would state sumo times that "Colonel Mlunk, ono of our prominent clti/jns, is ill at his homo with the jira jams," when Instead they very kindly say ho is indisposed, or I unwell. They might also chronicle that "Miss Bailie Smithers, tho home liest and eouriest tempered woman we have over seen, has ut last managed to got marrlod," when they considerately describe her as beautiful and amiable and as the belle of the town. If they wanted to tell tho truth they could say that the ftev. Long Wind, who preached an hour and a halt, "bored his congregation nearly to death," when instead thoy describe his sermon as a magnificent and powerful discourse, which deeply moved his hearortj and held their rapt attention. Wueu a husband or wlfa dies they might sometimes say that a "cat and dog existence has terminated," but tho lifo of tho couple Is described as one long, swoot dream. Then ugaiu there aro many domestic scandals that como to the ears of the newspapers, and many personal dilll culties, and many rumors ailocting the Integrity of various citi/.ons that are probably truo that never find theii way into print because it will not du always to toll the truth. Serious hap penings aro sometimes minimized anu unimportant events magnified when tho newspapers know perfectly well their news value, but they cannot al ways tell the truth. It Is not tho truth that is wanted. The nowspapers some times cannot atTord to tell tho truth and tho people concerned cannot alToru to have It told about them, and the truth is, therefore, omitted. Some politicians say the newspapers will noi tell the truth about them. 1'or thlc thoy ought to ho profoundly thankful, for if tho truth were told about them, somo of them would lind thoir political careers at ?an end and reputa.'onu seriously Impaired. And all this consideration and sup pression of truth when It is damaging, is rarely appreciated and tho cry is for newspapers that will toll the truth It would take but ono issue of such u newspaper to raise the cry louder than before to handle tho truth cautiously and In smull quantities and well glossed over. Knockdown and drag out lights damage suits, broken uoses, heart: and fortunes would be tho features ol tho day, and tho truthful newspaper would bo suppresses , If it took u con stltutional convention to accomplish It. Tho newspapers mako their living by printing what their readers waul to road and that is not always the truth. THR HOUSBKfcKPHR FAINTED Preacher and Lawyer Used Thoii Pistols with Deadly Aim.
