The reckless and fast manner in which some of the colored grocery de? livery boys ride their bicycles around Bumter is going to cause some of them to get hurt if the thing is not put a stop to. Two white children were run over by bicycles ridden by these young Apaches on Saturday afternoon en Rroad street and feeling is run i! pretty high and bitter over the ffalr. Another child was run over on this same street a few days before by one of these same colored boys. Th< first thing some of these indiffer? ent boys know some outraged father whose little one has been knocked down by one of these boys will get ?ut and kill or seriously Injure one of the riders. Bo said a gentleman from Broad street today wh.?se children are in danger, The police force of Bumter is not near big enough to cover the entire cits as it should be policed to prevent such conduct. The policemen are do? ing all that any set of men can do. and have already done fun- work to? wards suppressing fast and dangerous bicycle riding. Bui one of these days some father whose helpless and Inno - enl little child has been injured by the unfeeling young brutes referred to above will forget himself and go after the miscreant in a way which will no! be conducive to the health of the bicycle rider w ho does not care who he runs over. Merchants should caution tie ir delivery boys often along this line. llenr) Jackson v\as tried by the recorder and a jury Thursday for transporting whiskey.

The verdict of the jury was not guilty. I Mr. Wattn.-<ni on Modem Journalism Several days ago Henry Watterson. the dean ol American newspaperdom was the guest ot the New York Tress Club. H is needless to say that the speech which he made on this occa? sion was eloquent. He never make, any other sort. [f it lacked the dram ate lire which characterized his ora? tory some quarter of a century ago in tlie halls of the national Democrat? ic Convention it was nevertheless full of the mature wisdom which comes only at eventide. in the reminiscent vein for which the great Keiitu< kian is noted, he de? lighted his fellow craftsmen for more than an hour with numberless spicy Incidents and episodes. Neither the grat e of velvet diction nor the tone of moral earnestness was abs< nt from the gifted editor's spark? ling sentences. But the chief < harm ol' the spot < dl lay in the emphasis with which he urged his brethren of the guild to I maintain the high professional stand? ards. Too much of sordid commer? cialism) in the opinion of Mr. w. t terson hid crept into tin- ,edltori.".l sanctum?too much ot Irreverence t ; things sacred; too much of subser? viency to the baser rather than t ? the better elements of human nature, in this connection he enunciated Jour distinct principles; and coming from one wh i has dev oted his pr. at ener? gies both of brain and of brawn for more than 50 years to journalism, they can not fall t? rivet attention, i [ere they are: "1. Print nothing of a m n which you would not say to y ' "2. Print nothiw nan In malice. MS. Look well and iwlce be? fore consigning a susp? I I the ruin of printer's ink. " l. Respect the < Id an fend the weak." These are the fixed stars by which The Georgians has tried to steer. We are satisfied that our readers will up hold us in this statement. We ^re also glad that our ideals of how a aewspaper ought to he edited arc in substantial agreement with those of Mr. Watterson. If the disti ngLiislud Kentucky editor has not always ex? emplified his maxims to the letter, lie has at least, no doubt, endeavored to keep them in view and he has mad** The Louisville Courier-Journal one of the most powerful organs of public opinion between the two oceans. Most of us will doubtless agree with the veteran journalist in what he says further. Take, for example, this paragraph: "The city editor should never con? sider himself a brevet chief of poi'< e. the reporter a semi-professional de? tective. The newspaper, with the aw, should assume the accused Innocen* until proven guilty; should be the friend ,not the enemy, of the general public; the defender not the invader, of private life and the assailant of personal character. "The newspaper is not a commo? dity to be sold over the ecunter like dry goods and groceries. ft should be, as it were, a keeper of the public conscience; its rating professional, like the ministry and the 'aw. not common lal, like the department store and the bucket shop. Its workers should be gentlemen, not eavesdrop? pers and scavengers, developing a spy system peculiarly their own, nor car? ing fi r the popular respect an 1 es? teem. "1 know that it is the fashion to call such sentiments old-tlmey, just as it i.-. the custom to call old men courtly who are not actually vulgar and slov? enly. Self-r< spect is the bed-rock of the public respect. There will be shy? ster journalists, as there are shyster lawyers; unworthy newspaper men. as there are unworthy clergymen. But in each calling the rule is bound to i e otherwise, and they who seek the imprint of the higher instead of the lower brand will be sure to Und it. In short, 1 stand for the manh.1, for the gentlemanhood, of our guild, a profosslon and not a trade, and 1 be? lieve that in the long run the owners of newspaper properties will learn that integrity and cleanliness pay the best dividends and that good faith and good burner are positive' assets." Mi-. Watterson'8 views on the sub jeet of the modern newspaper should !?? given sober thought and wide cir? culation. Tin y need to be empha? sised. We ere glad that the gre; t editor pressed home. Iiis words will be felt because back of them is a per? sonality?courageous and splendid. The autumnal frosts have only mel? lowed and enriched the brightest in? tellect in the ranks of journalism.?
