PRESS AND POLITICIANS.

In many quarters newspapers act
upon the idea that they are published
for politics and politicians only. This
is very largely the case with the coun-
try press of this State, where local in
terests, possibilities ofdevelopment and
struggling industries are too often neg
lected for the political industries which
they assiduously cultivate, and for the
interests Of individual politicians,
cliques or rings, which they consider
themselves bound to promote. In
these newspapers the single topic con-
tinually harpen upon is that which af-
fects the political fortunes Of some in
dividual "boss" or set of "wire-work-
ers' who bank together to "rule the
roost' and control public affairs to the
detrlment or neglect of those material
interests which should have first con-
sideration.
Newspapers must, necessarily, have
much to do with politics, but when
they convert themselves into specifi-
cally political "organs" they sacrifice
the larger function of the newspaper
press and limit their influences simply
to the small circle in which they move
and have their being. All the larger
and more useful possibilities are sacri-
feed or neglected. They are con-
cerned only to keep where they may
enjoy the "pap" that flows from Off
cial sources which they may help to
create. They do rot concern them
selves for the business interests oftown,
county, State or nations. They are
simply partizan vehicles, which, as in
dependen; thought progresses, must
move backward and drop by the way
side, giving place, perhaps, to another
set of political organs, which, in turn,
will be subject to the same vicissltudes
whereas if the proper course had been
pursued of consulting the true interest:
of the community at large and 1t:
manifold material interests, they would
have established themselves as useful
permanent, desirable Influences

ugliness.

was undoubtedly bad case Of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about speedy
cure. From the advertisement OF Cham

good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make first trial Of the

IN this State we need a measure re-
curing the acts of the Legislature to
be published in the newspapers imme-
dlately after that body adjourns. As
1t is people live under laws concerning
whose provisions they are ignorant.
Besides il will tend to educate the
public on the laws under which they
live to have them published in their
newspapers.
The Charlotte Nezos perhaps does
not give the gentleman more than his
simple due when it says:
One member of the present State
administration seems to be trying to
do his duty, and he is Mr.. C. H. Me-
bane, State Superintendent of Public
instruction. The public schools should
be entirely free from all partisan inhu-
ence, and Mr.. Mebane seems to be
striving to this end. 1t is gratifying
to find something to commend in this
administration, and fairness and hon
esty when they do come out shine like
a light in the darkness against the gen.
eral background Of incompetence and
NAL administration.

HENDERSON, N. G, THURSDAY, OCTOBER %, 1897
"Mark Twain" declares that Walter

"Mark Twain" declares that Walter
Scott is responsible for the civil war.
He means that much reading of "Ivan-
hoe" and "The Talisman" made the
young men mad. They dreamed of
riding with visor down and lance in
rest for the honor of the name and
the rescue of beleagued damsels. He
is mistaken. The popularity of Scott
was an effect not a cause. The poems
and prose of the wizard Of the North
were popular because the Sou,herner
is by birth and breeding chivalric. He
was SO before Scott was born and will
remain so while the same blood is in
him. At least, hope he will. This
chivalry finds its most noticeable out
let in the Southerner's attitude to
women. The female of his species is
on pedestal. Now and then in the
old days she struggled bravely to get
down, but he would not let her. He
objects to the new woman, not because
he fears her competition, but because
he thinks she is not true to herself
The Southerner's feelings for women is
a queer mixture of passion and respect.
He regards her as something to be
loved, to be cherished, 10 be protect
ed. He cannot get over the belief
that she is fragile, and he cannot be
convinced that she is able to with
stand hard knocks. To him all women
are pure until demonstrated otherwise,
and they are to be treated with deep
respect. They are made of finer clay,
and are, in fact, superior order of
being.

disbelief with the strong arm. Mar
