presence of gas, and who by strictly
complying with colliery rules had gone
to inform the fire boss OF this un-
usual indication, and thus was
absent from the vicinity of the
explosion. His story is that he and
his ''butty, Christian HorniclSer, whose
body still lies buried in the mine, fred

The origin Of the expression above
quoted " IA follsws: In Scotland they
play game called golf, the favorito
grounds FOR such sport being tho
downs" or "links." The rabbits
frequent these 'linlts" and the holo
made by them is called "ascrape p"
Golf Is played with hard ball Of wood
or rather substance, which "a drivon

of wood, hut sometimes OF iron. The

Another Small Strike Threatened.

We see that the telegraph operators ON the

right to quit, but we do assert as our opinion
that If Congress or the State Legislatures

duty. they would pass law Furnishing In an
adequate manner all unions or combinations
which forcibly attempt to prevent honest
laborers and mechanics from taking the
places, or situations, which they do not want
The railroad corporations can't vote in any
State, and hence the Legislators and Con-
gressmen OF the country WILL assume TO inter
meddle with the business OF the railroads,
but q crowd OF irresponsible strikers may
stop their trains, break up or burn their pro-
perty, and arm themselye to prevent others
from operating the engines and trains, and
nothing is said about protecting the property

conclude TO rob under the guise of demand.

With strikers on one side and oppressive

other set from working, may we not expect
the destruction OF our right to liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

Referrine 10 the Mob.

In the trial and conviction of negro In
Augusta last week for the killing OF white
policeman, reference has been had, as Is usua
when crime has been committed, to the dls.
nosition of the mob to visit summary ven
eeance, the inference being that the mop was
recopnized as some kind of an admitted su'
perior tribunal, or coordinate branch OF the
Government, which withheld Its action only
for prudential, political or merciful reasons.
While the citizens were no doubt justly IN
dignant at the killing Of white man oy
negro, yet, In this instance, the testimony as
it appeared In cold print, did not, In our opln-
ion entirely disprove the allegation that tne
marshal was In the act of drawing his pistol
to shoot the negro, when the negro shot him
on his own door step.
The negro and his wife were having little
fuss In their own house. She had negiecteo
or refused to wash his shirt. He put soot on
his hands and .disfgured her washed linen.
At this conduct on the part OF her husband
she of course raised a scream. The marshal
then went to arrest the man, instead Of the
woman, the starter OF the fuss. But as mat
ter OF fact, there was little cause for arrestins
anybody, The marshal was Irritating In his
language and threatening In his manner.
When the negros house was about TO be en-
tered he fired the fatal.
The ever present mob, 1t is stated, for politi-
cal reasons, allowed the negro TO he tried By
the Court. His conviction was foregone
conclusion, and the negro is now under sen
tence OF death.
While the killing of negros by white men is
semew hat reprehensible, 1t Is not to be de-
MED that 1t is very naughty for negro kill
white man.
II any negro in Augusta had presumed to
enter any white mans shouse-uttering o1en-
sive words and exhibiting his pistol-to in
terfere in little family "rucus' does any
body believe that the owner OF that house
would been hanged for killing the negro?
Does anybody believe that white man
would have been put in Jail for killing ne
gro under exactly the same circumstances
that led to the conviction Of the Augusta me-

"Journalistic Ethics"

Some of our brethren have been recently
charging each other with n breach of "jour-
nalistic ethics" in applying uncompliment-
ary remarks TO each other.
Our observation leads the Press and Banner
to believe that the brethren now at variance
are not totally different in their manners
from the great majority Of the journalistic
brethren.
We do not now recall many instances of
controversies In which the brethren of the
press were not discourteous TO each other be-
fore the matter ended. Our opinion is, that
the average editor has very crude idea of
true Journalistic ethics" Very few can dis
cuss any question Of public concern without
applying dissagreeable epithets, assigning
bad motives, or condescending to uncalled
for personalities.
AS q rule. quarrels between editors are OF
10 public interest, and he who has been as
sailed would save an afillction to his readers
by allowing the vulgar adversary TO have the
last word.
Asa matter OF fact, the public have no in
terest in the personalities for which the news.
papers have been noted, and 1t would be fully
as profitable, and much more pleasant il
editorial quarrels were abandoned.

Fair Dealing In Advertising.

II any brother printer desires to know now
he stands with Geo. p. Rowell Co. let NM
compare the prices charged in Printer INK
with the offers that is made TO him. Printer
Ink and other advertising agencies nave
about ruined the printing business in SO iar
as the country press may deal with theii''
Their systematic methods of claiming the
earth and their unvarying efforts to destroy
public confidence in the integrity Oh tne
country press has placed these agencies oe,
yond the pale OF the respect OF the lress anu
Banner, and for years we have let them Sc
verely alone.
Other newspapers may, for nominal su'p'
give the advertising agents preferred space
for vulgar cheats, but this newspaper makes
1t rule TO give home advertisers preference
in everything. and we think the lncreaSeo
business of this office for the last lew years
warrants the assertion that this plan brings
the best success.
When an ugly cut or stereotypeo
plate always follows reading matter ana pre-
cedes the live and decent advertisement OF
the home patron. the home patron has just
grounds for placing a very poor estimate on
the value of the paper as an advertising me-
dium. Let any home advertiser ask for the
space which Is now given to patent meoi
cJnes, and then let him ask the editor no"
much he charges for the aforesaid objecuona-
BILE advertisement, how much discount LOT
agents com mission, how many free copies Oh
the paper is given, and how many reading
notices are included in the contract, ana we
hesitate nothing in saying that nine times
in ten the home advertiser will not be IN
formed fully as to the transaction. The ,oea
of charging home folks full price for refuse
position and then giving foreign advertise
men,s preference both in position and price
is a practice which should be aoandoneu.
