Almost a Fire.
, Tuesday night the residence of Mr,
G. W.Going narrowly escaped destruction
by fire. Miss Ilill, the housekeeper
of Mr. Going, was sewing on
her machine, she had set the lamp
- on the machine, and sewing rapidly,
the lamp fell off and set fire to the
carpet. Miss Hill attempted to extinguish
the flame, but could not, so
she ran out and screamed fire. Miss
Beatrice Hughes, who lives across
the street from Mr. Going, heard her
and ran to her assistance. Miss
Hughes at once took in the situation
seized a quilt from the bed amd with
it smothered out the fire. The presence
of mind and quick action of
Miss Hughes saved the house. Mr.
Going was not at home.

As to Journalism.
High class journalism occupies an
eialted position in the literary world.
it is # deplorable fact that so few
reach the standard and that many
fall below it, lamentable that the latter
should take rank with the former
in the dissemination of literature
through the medium known as the
newspaper. The latter class thus
occupies a false position and presumes
upon it, entertaining as it docs
enormo<|B ideas of what constitutes
true journalism. Ethics plays no
part in the conduct. Under the
guise of prerogative, that boast of
tjrantsT jnvades the sanctity of home
? and blazons upon the pages of its
journal, the sacred, private affairs of
a thus injured people. Iconoclast,
with unblushing audacity, seeks the
skeleton in the closet tfco expose, that
it wear the uneasy honors of a much
b<smuroh*d journalistic crowu.

way of sending anything over the world
is a pof-tage stamp; and the cheapest
way to shed water is paint.
Not whitewash; paint. Do yon happen
to know?it don't belong to your
busineess to know about paint, you
know?do you know'that moat of the
makers of paint stuff is out with lime
and clay and sand and water and ail?
They do stuff it out in the can; hut
not on the house. They make more gallons
to sell or to buj; inoie money to
pay for paint; more money for putting
it on; a good deal more money to pay
for putting it on; byt no more beauty;
moie rust; decay; disappointment; loss.
Devoe is your paint, because it's all
paint, no sham, and full measure.

A New Opera JJonse.
The needs of the public must be
respected even if it be at the expense
and sacrifice of individual investments.
The law of ancient lights
has become absolute, light and air
shut out by the walls of public demands.
We are not chronic grntnblers,
but on the contrary endeavor to
make public such matters only as we
feel will subserve the common and
general interests of the people. When
w? aav luai. uiuuu ueeus an opera
house we are assured that we but
speak the verdict of the entire people,
not only the play goers, but all
who seek and desire a hall for public
entertainment, as the house now used
is not sufficiently commodious r.or
accommodating to satisfy the wants
of the people, and the peculiar construction
of the present building precludes
any possibility of a suitable
chango or enlargement, we conclude
the necessity for a new house, built
on the modern and approved plan
for safety, comfort and convenience.
While we are on this subject we deem
it odvisable to suggest that our city
fathers take a hand in the management
and conduct of the opera house,
in order that no indecent or disreputable
performance be engaged or allowed
to exhibit on the boards in the
town*

Duncan Clark's Female Minatrela.
This troupe held the boards at the
opera house Tuesday night. There
was a fairly good audience, consisting
of men only, to witness this, the
most demoralising and unrefined performance
that was ever presented in
our city. The songs, as well as the
singers, jrere very old, and the jokes
were "on the bum" proper. Such a
troupe, with its decepit and obscene
females, ought to be exiled from the
decent public. The manager says
this is bis farewell tour of the world,
and it certainly ought to be, for if he
has many more miles on his route
he will certainly have to recuperate
his present aggregation, as they have
"seen better days."
The above was contributed, and we
want it distinctly understood that
the Editor was not present. We
would not publish anything about
this performance, but think it well
to expose such frauds as are by this
company being perpetrated upon an
unsuspecting and innocent people.
Henry Grady'a Tribute to Cotton.
We think it appropriate at this
time, owing to the exalted attitude
assumed by the king of staples, to
reproduce this eloquent tribute to
cotton. It was aa follows:
"What a royal plant it Is. The
-I*- ?? - 1 ' * ** '
nunu wivits in anenuance on its
growth; the shower that falls whispering
on its 1 vir-* is hoard around
the earth; the sun that shines on It
is temper*! by the prayers of all the
people; the frost that chills lb and
the dew that descends from the stars
are neted, and the trespass of a little
worm on Its green leaf is more to
England than the advance of the
Russian army on her Asian outposts.
It is gold from the Instant it puts
forth its tiny shoot. Its fibre Is current
In every bank, and when, loosing-its
fleeces to the sun, it floats a
sunny banner that glorifies the fields
of the humble farmer, that man is
marshaled under a flag that will compel
the allegiance of the world and
wring a subsidy from every nation on
earth. It is the heritage that God
gave to this people as their own when
He arched our skies, established our
mountains, girt us about with ocoan,
loosed the breezes, tempered the sunshine
and measured the rain. Ours
and our children's forever. As prlnoei
ly a talent as ever came from His
hand to mortal stewardship."

The Telephone Bill
The bill now pending in the legis- |
lature, giving to the railroad commis
sion the same jurisdiction over the j
telephone lines throughout the State 1
as that exercised over railroads, is i
to our way of thinking a good meas- J
ure. The Bell Telephone Company 1
now owns and controls nearly every
line in the State. This company. '
has by purchase and otherwise created

public are at the mercy of this wealthy
corporation. We therefore deem
it wise and most expedient for our
legislature to take a hand in the
management, and clothe the commission
with power to regulate rates and
otherwise control the service and
management of this c irporation so
that it may conform to the best inter
est of the general public. We do
not pretend to predict any great reduction
in rates by the commission,
but the peoplo will feel relieved, as
we all know and fully realize that a
monopoly is a dangerous commodity ,
in any community. i
Primary Elections. '
A bill has been introduced which pro- ]
vides an amendment to the law govern- <
ing primary elections. The following j
pieamble to the bill shows the reason
for the amendment:
4 Whereas, it appeals that many pood
citizens of the State who qualify them- I
selves to and do vote in the primary i
elections fail to register themselves for j
voting in the general elections, by rev- |
son whereof the State is deprived of the '
use and service of snch citizens as ]
Jurors." Therefore for remedying this i
evil this bill requires that each voter j
who presents himself at a primary elec- i
tion shall, in addition to the regular and j
prescribed cath, pretent and exhibit to i
the managers of such primary election his I
ceitif.cate of registration. We are in- '
clined to favor this amendment, not |
only for the reason given in the pteam- 1
ble but for the further reason (hat the (
vote given in the primary elections tin- <
der tbo present law, rules and regulations
forms no basis of our voting
strength as does the vote in the general
elections, and in a measure defeats one
Iof the main objects for which the registration
law was enacted. ['
