NEWSPAPER LIARS.

Since the foundation of the world,
lying has been regarded as one of
the most reprehensible sins in the
catalogue of crime. The old SER
pent lied to mother Eve, and brought
about the fall of man from the high
estate in which he was first created.
After Cain had murdered his broth
er Abel, he lied about it and denied
that he knew where he was. Isaac
lied about his wife-for which he
was reproved by Abimilech and got
in bad scrape besides. And when
the great law, promulgated from
Mount Sinai, was given to Moses, it
contained strong clause against
bearing false witness Ananias and
his wife Sapphire were struck dead
for lying. The Scriptures are full
of instances where men and women
have been severely punished for
telling lies.
The various states in the Union
have laws against lying. Perjury
is a felony and is punishable with i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. He
who habitually lies and misrepre,
sents facts has the confidence of nc
one and is an outcast in society. In
financial matters he is without
credit, and is without friends any
where.
But strange to say, there is a
class of liars in the world who move
in respectable society and who are
not subjected to the penalties Wis.
tied upon common liars. We mean
the newspaper liar The world
does not appear to regard lie
written down deliberately, and pub.
lished to the world through the
medium of the types, as being hall
80 reprehensible as it is to tell lie.
Hence We have sensational newspas

Hon. W. M. HALL, of Trenton,
is mentioned as a probable candi>
date for congress in his district on
the republican ticket. Mr.. Hall is
gentleman Of character and abile
ity, and should he conclude to make
the race, will make it lively for his
democratic competitor. The dis
trict is erwhelmingly democratic,
but while he might not be elected,
he would SOW good seed that would
bring forth a good harvest in due
time. Hon. D. A. Mum, who has
served CALAMITY in the republican
ranks for years, doing yeOman SER

The appointment of Postmaster
General Key as Judge Trigg's sue
cessor, will give general satisfaction
to the people and to the bar Of his
district. He has been upon the
bench before in this state, and his
administration was beyond critic
cism. He has administered the afa
fairs of the postoffice department to
the entire satisfaction Of the entire
country, and it is no disparagement
to his predecessors to say that the
postal affairs of his country were
never in so good a condition, and SO
we'll managed as they are to-day.
Judge Key is an able lawyer, and
has judicial mind. He will make
an efficient and an able judge.
There is no doubt of his confrmar
ton.

The first speaker was Marion Bruner,
OF Augusta, Ill, whose subject was,
Let the Heroes Rest" He deprecated
the practice so common of referring to
the heroes OF days gone by as models
for Imitation. and urged thatleaeh live
and act with reference to the duties
aud responsibilities of the present.
He was followed by Miss Laura bod.
son, of Athens. whose essay, "Every

man action.
Next came Geo. w. Winstead, Of

chain" was friendship. and his ora.
ton was well written and forcibiy aud
impressively delivered.
1 The next orator was James p.
| Reeder, of Rockville. who spoke OF
| Poets and Poetry" He took strict
ly utiiitarisn view of both, and came
to the conclusion that whatever poetry
may be Ia the future, IL now Is not by
any means the most important branch
Of literature.
John w. Bayless, OF Jonesboro',
spoke of "U0broken Columns" His
Grafton was exceedingly we'll written,
aud equally we'll delivered.
J. Emmett Deacon. OF Oakdalp, Va

important subject Mr.. Deacon treated
in a thoughtful and very creditab!e
manner.
Next came Miss Agnes Byington, OF
Athens, whose essay, Only Dream"
was an admirable production; thought
ful in its conception. aud beautiful In
composition.
The last speaker was Douglas Cauik-
ius, of Knoxville, and his subject was
"Hidden Wealth." He spoke of the
stories of hidden wealth-material,
mental and moral. His Grafton was
highly creditable 10 every respect.

IT is seldom that We agree with
a democratic paper when it under>
takes to give reasons for the selec-
ton Of a democratic candidate for
any Office. But the GAINESVILLE
Tobacco Leaf nominates Hon. ].
W. Clapp, of Memphis, for Gov
ernor, and says:
with the great question 90 long Q
bone OF contention Ia the state Judge
Clapp in entirely familiar. He would
deal with 1t not rs demagOgue. but
as statesman; he would not cit strad.
die the fence. seeking the popular side
on which TO fall. He would have q
well.defined policy, and, above all
have the nerve and courage to carry II
out. That policy would be consistent
lit would be honest. We have had
enough to do with dummies; let US
elect a man who Is fully capable Of
leading US out of our troubles-in q
way that will not shock the common
honesty Of all mankind" .t
We believe every word here said
about Judge Clapp. He is sound
state credit man, and would not
swerve from what he believes is
right on this question to be Gov
ernor. We will be glad to see the
democrats nominate so sound O
man.
