The Editor Was Not Scared.

Col. James Plum, who used to
edit little daily paper in one of
the western Pennsylvania oil
towns, always had a habit of sit
ting in such way as to: allow q
large majority of himself to re-
pose under his desk, says the
Cleveland Leader.
He was ono of the most fearless
men, too. that ever grasped pen,
and people who knew him gener-
ally contented themselves with
merely "considering the source"
when it pleased him to write un-
complimentary paragraphs about
them. 49,.
i But one day q new drilIer came
to town and celebrated his advent
by getting drunk, which was COM
mon enough, but distasteful toI
Col. Plum. So the latter wrote a
half-column article, in which he
held Bill Magse, the newcomer,
|up to public scorn.
| Magee, by the way, had been
preceded by his reputation as an
all-around bully, and people who
read Col. Plum's remarks about
him began gathering i'm the vicin-
ity of the Office of the Daily Force
Pump as soon as the paper con-
| tanning the article had been read,
for%iit' was generany understood
that there would be some excite
ment as soon',as Magee got sober
enough to understand the situa-
ton.
Along late in the afternoon the
driller was seen approaching the
} newspaper Office, and the crowd
: Immediately began to "elose in. "
Col. Plum was busy at his desk,
+ in little room that opened upon
: the street. He sat almost upon
his shoulder blades and appeared
; to be wholly unprepared for a cal
of the kind he WAS about to re-
; ceive.
e Magee didn't stop to knock, but
o walked right into the sanctum
I Holding out the paper containing
l the reference to himself, he fierce
ly asked-::;

i sheet2"
s Col. Plum picked his teeth will

e affirmative.

A Good Indication.

1t is right hard on the cotton
buyers that comparatively SO
little cotton has been brought to
market; but it is a good sign,
nevertheless. 1t shows that many
farmers are at least no longer at
the"mercy of their friends, the
spring time lien takers. Time
was, and is now with many, when
ira farmer had cotton on October
fst he must fetch it to market and
lay it at the feet of the merchant
who supplied him with provisions
and fertilizers in the sowing sea-
Ison. That so much cotton is now
in the farmers hands, and that
they express readiness TO hold il
hope of bester prices, which we be-
lieve will be offered, indicates that
the farmers are more independent
than they have been, which is al
good a sign of the times as VI
have discovered in many day
Let our farmer friends strive to b.
independent more and more.
