Value of NewSDaDerS

There are certain persons who affect
TO desplse 1.-The newspapers. But
this Is a mere aileCtatOn. No man
displses newspaper when he wants
to use 1T, and nine cases out of ten
would find life barren waste without
1t. But however this may be, it is
worth while to put against expressions
OF disparaging opinions ofnewspapers.
by whomsOever made. those of some
of the master minds Of the world.
DR.. Johnson said:
81 never take up newspaper
without finding something | should
h;ve deemed it loss not to have seen,
never without deriving from it instruc-
ton and amusement"
This is from Thomas Jefferson:
II would rather have newspapers
without government tnan a govern
melt without newspapers
And this from IIalam. the great
English historian and publicist:
For almost all that keeps up in US.
permanently and etlcctually, the spirit
OF regard for liberty and the public
good. we must look to the unshackled
and independent energies ofthe press"
And this from Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton, one OF the most acute intellects
that ever lived:
The newspaper is the chronicle Of
civilization. 1t is daily and sleepless
Waterman that reports TO you every
danger which menaces the institutions
OF your country and its interests at
home and abroad. 1t is law book for
the lndolent. a sermon for the thought
less, library for the poor.
And this from Hunt:
The newspaper is the familiar Of all
men of all degrees. of all occupations.
II 1t teaches. it teaches imperceptibly.
1t has no pompous gown or scholastic
rod to abash or control. but prepares
itself and is admitted freely aud at once
to a worldwide intimacy with all kinds
and conditions of people -
And this from the Right Honorable
y. J. Balfour:
lin my judgment all the machinery
used in communicating information to
the public is not of really more impor-
lance to the community at large than
the power of the people to communicate
by advertisement and bring the buyer
and seller together and give them the
machinery for communicating their
wishes to one another. '-Erchaaqe.

The State Fair, held last wet k,
while not as good as last year was
counted success. The exhibits were
very good in the several departments
and were well worth seeing. But if
those OF Col. ]. S. Carr Cwho did not
contest for premiums on account of his
being president of the Society, had
been omitted the show would not have
been near as good. This was partiCu-
larry true with regard to the display of
poultry, farm products, cattle, sheep,
hogs and horses. Great indeed is
OCConeechee Farm There was a
great crowd on Thursday, the attend
ance during the other days not be
ing SO large. The fair might have
been a great deal better had the off
GERS received the cooperation and sup
port they deserved. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the counties, as such, do
not take more interest in the State
Fair. Everyone ought to be repre-
sented by Creditable exhibits each
year: 1t would be worth a great deal
TO him as an advertisement.

o"HaAo, APFI Stu, 1cSOs EDITOR HERALD.
 Dear Sir-Your readers are led to believe that this side of the old county ar jubllant over the division. l wish to state, that while this, to some extent is true, there is large percentage of the permanent set tiers that did not favor tho move. and very much regretted that such a course was considered necessary; and more particularly do we regret some of the methods by which it was brought about.
 We are not unmindful of our old friends on the east side, and hope they will be able to so far unite, as to carry on successful county gov erment.
 I consider it very unwlse to keep up such fusilade of unkind expres- sions. either through tho press or otherwise; and hope the conserva- tive element in both counties will be able 10 hold tho political trick sters in check and maintain a de- gree of responsibility that will com- mend itself to every right thinking person.
 Very Respectfully.
