Auditor A. w. Jones Is the right man in the
right place. His letter In the Press and Ban
ne1 shows that he Is alive to the interests Of
at large. Just think Of the Railroads fleeing
the State out Of $4,000 every year. 1t is enor-
nous, as well as outrageous. The poor farm
er has to pay what the Railroads fail to pay,
and we hope Auditor Jones will not stop un.
til he gets every dollars worth of railroad
property in the books at an honest and fair
valuation.
Mr.. L. NJ Moore has commenced his term

It rained here on Sunday evening and Sun

If the County Commissioners would en-
force the law and require every man to re-
move the logs from the creeks. we would not
have so many bridges to build. They are
afraid to offend the voter, however.

Eight.Page Papers.

We like the plan Of printing newspapers on
eight-pages, even II the pages are small. The
Greenwood Tribune and the Sunn,erviile Ne,0s
are only i've columns to the page, but we like
the eight page paper. 1t is easier to handle
and there seems to be more on eight pages
than on four pages. A greater number OF ad-
vertisers can get head OF q column, and great
or room for "big heads" Is given.

Save the Corn.

In our article last week on harvesting the
tho crops, 1t was urged that corn should be In
the crib al early as possible. The recent
freshet will impress the Importance Of the
suggestion. Corn which has sufficiently har-
dened to "glaze" will save If the stalks are
cut and put in shocks. If our farmers had
employed sometime in cutting and hauling
their corn from the bottoms thousands Of
bushels of corn would have been saved that is
now lost.

Thursday night was attacked by fainting

II seems to us that Blaine or some other Of
those Radical fellows, had similar attack at
a church about four years years ago. That oc-

eule Mr.. Blaine. The question now is, how

OPENING THE MASTOID.

New York Mail and Express.
The operation performed by DR.. Sands
upon the skull of Mr. COnkling is called
opening the mastoid, and is done by
means of chisel, and mallet made of
ox-hide, so as to break the force of the
blow and not produce a jar or c0ncussiOn
like metal or wood. 1t is a great i'm
provement on the former method of using
the trephine, which is a cylindrical saw
with perforator and a handle like gim-
let The trephine itself was an improve
ment upon the trepan, which is crown
saw turned like bit or gimlet, used in
trepanning, or taking out portion of
the skull. The great trouble with both
the trepan and the trephine is that the
progress of the saw can not be seen by
the surgeon, but only estimated, and in
many cases the instrument was found to
enter and injure the covering of the brain
or membrane within the skull, and thus
produce an independent Inflammation;
while with the chisel the surgeon can eX-
actly trace the progress of the operation
and by finely regulating the blow of the
mallet, through his own sensitiveness,
can entirely avoid the danger arising
from using the trepan or the trephine.-
The operation has been performed by
DIR. Gruening, of this city, over hun
dred times, and by DR.. Schwartze, of
Halle, Germany, many more times
There are number of people, some of
them ladies, living in this city, upon
whom the operation has been success
fully performed, and who are now NOV
ing around in comparatively good health.
There are therefore good hopes for the
recovery of Mr.. Conkling, whose danger
lies in his Inflammation of the men,
branes enyeloping the brain, rather than
from the local affection of his ear.

EX-PRESIDENT HAYES.

Columbus Dispatch.
The readiness of newspaper writers to
do worthy man an injustice in the hope
of making paragraph to create a laugh
was, perhaps, never better illustrated
than it is in the case of ex-President
Rutherford B. Hayes. A greater famil-
iarity with the life of quiet usefulness
which Mr.. Hayes is leading would, doubt
less, prevent continuation of this Of
fense, for newspaper writers are not gen.
orally cruel for the pleasure there is in it.
The unfortunate closenesS of the Presi-
Dental vote in 1876 made it absolutely
impossible for Mr.. Hayes to avoid the
criticism of large number of persons.
Believing that he was honestly elected,
he took Office and served his term. That
incensed every Democrat who believed
that Mr. Tilden had been elected But
had Mr.. Hayes taken the other course.
who shall undertake to measure the flood
of hatred and ridicule that would have
swept down upon him. Even his enc
mics would have detested him and there
would really have been some ground for
the charge that he was weak, wiShy-
washy man. Mr.. Hayes made a good
President, and if he listened to his wife
and was guided by her judgment in
some things, he did only what every
good man should. If he is not so great
now as he was while President, that is
not his fault, but rather the fault of the
American plan of government which al
most compels ex-Presidents to live the
balance of their days in what Grover
Cleveland would call innocuOus desue-
tude. Mr.. Hayes has not submitted to
this requirement in all its rigidity. He
has in many ways been trying to fill his
later years with usefulness and there are
many thousands of people in this and
other States who can testify TO the sue
cess of his efforts. He is certainly not
doing anything to reflect discredit upon
himself OF the high Office he once held,
and there is no call for the continued
gibes of certain newspaper writers. The
latter, at least, ought to know that there
is now no more wit in the hennery allu-
sion than there is blood in a turnip. If
the photographers must pursue Mr.. Hayes
let them do themselves the small credit
of inventing new gibe.

SENDING MANrSCRIpT.

The best way for authors to send man
useript To publishers is discussed in the
April number of The Writer. The edi-
tor of the magazine says:
Editors generally do not care wheth-
er manuscript comes to them folded
or fiat. \ neatly-folded manuscript can
always be easily f1attened ont, and it is
not likely to give either editor or COM
positor any trouble. Rolled manuscripts,
not folded manuscripts. are what editors
abhor. If a package of manuscript is
very thick, it may be better to send it fat,
in an extra stout manila envelope, or
tied between two pieces of pasteboard
cut the right size. and wrapped in paper;
but an ordinary short manuscript, say
one of twenty pages, may better be sent
folded and enclosed in stout envelope.
If writers could see the torn and shat
tered envelopes that reach editors every
day, they would appreciate the necessi-
ty of using stout envelopes for sending
copy by mail. Strong manila envelopes
are the best
