irresponsible r0d Ntgperutive Newspaper
Men, Ton, Ellis Dead.

The true mission of the press s
to properly educate the people-it
is wonderful weapon for good but
in the hands Of bad men it is capa-
bic of great harm. The following
article, IA Pitiable Case" from
the Augusta Chronicle, is ring
ing article, and will bear thought
full rea ling;
"The recent shooting of young
ELLIS. editor of a Birmingham pa.
per called "The Hornet" is a
warning to irresponsible and vitu-
perative men who make the public
prints a vehicle for personal abuse.
Detective SULLIVAN, who did the
shooting, may or may not have
been man deserving the confidence
of the community, but the shame
full and scathing criticism of his
assailant gains for him the sympa-
thy of the people and almost writes
the verdict of justifable over the
record of his homicide.
Freedom of the pressis one thing
and scurriIou8 epithet is another.
The man who assumes to edit a
paper must show that he realizes
the responsibilities Of his place, and,
while not shrinking from disagree
! able duty, must regard at all times
the proprieties and decencics of
life. If not, his paper will forfeit
the confidence and support of the
public, or, as in the case of Tom
ELLIS, of Birmingham, he may be
called to answer the consequences
Of his scandalous conduct. The
Birmingham editor, although de
void Of judgement, does not seen
to have been lacking in physica
courage. In the language of thu
Atlanta Capital, after the shooting
"he was still game, and he said h
/. would not be the coward to ask
tor quarters from the Almighty OF
his death bed, This is only another
evidence of his failure to appreci
ate the responsibilities Of lite, anc
shows that in the supreme momen
he lacked the finer and bette
qualities of man. Poor Tom FL
LIS; we Cannot but pity him now
If he lives, may he mend his ways
Ifhe dies, may he be forgiven hi
frailties.

words:
"'He was not one of these
who believed that those who fought
for the Union we're half right
ana half wrong, and those who
sought to destroy it were half
wrong and half right. He believ>

who sought TO trail it in the dust
were eternally wrong, Instead of
going around prating about their
lost cause and their trampIed
rights they should think OF DR..

to the suppression of the ballot in

suppress suffrage the people would
