THE OLD-FASHIONED WOMAN.
She May Not Re Up-to- Date in Some Things,
But She is True to Her Womanhood.

She May Not Re Up-tO- Date in Some Things,
But She is True to Her Womanhood.
"When one judges truly what it is
to be fashioned in some of the
modern progressive ideas it does not
appear so bad, writes Edward w.
Box, discussing son Being Old Fash
iOned' III the September Ladies' Home
journal. 1t may be true that one
who refuses to be so essentially mod
ern IN all phases of life misses some
things, too: they seem to miss about
everything they do, and incidentally
miss, as well, the true aim and essence
OF life. And there are often strong
cOmpensations in the attitude Of the
'Old-tashiOned. 1t brings fewer after
regrets; fewer pictures one wants to
blot out. An Indifference to healthy
progress is injurious to any one. But
when progress seeks to improve on
those elements in life which are God
ordained, the Wisest of us are those
who stand still or fall out of the ranks.
There are many things in this world
which even the wonderful genius OF this
century cannot improve upon. They
were fashioned by skill beyond our
ken. And we would better let them
alone. Forward, commands the old
proverb, but then it adds, mot too fast
The cautious woman. the home-loying
woman, the woman fond Of her chill
dren, and with belief in Cod, who
gave them to her, the woman of pure
heart and good purpose, the woman
who loves and is beloved, need never
be disturbed that she is called old
fashioned Perhaps she is. But it is
no disgrace to be old fashioned IN
some things. She is truer to her wo-
manhood by being So. And she is al
ways good company"

a Savage Attack Upon Charles A. Dana of
the New York Sun.

the New York sun.
The New York Press devotes four col
nmns on its editorial page to a savage
a1tack upon Charles A. Dana of The
Sun.
Editor Dana is a very old man, and his
genius, enterprise and scholarship have
added new lustre to American journal
ism, but The Press denounces him as "a
coward" "strumpet and potroon," 'as-
sassn of character" turncoat in relig-
ion and politics, former Calvinist and
communist, and selfish old infdel to-
day. The old story is related about Da-
mas escape from burning steamboat.
when it was said that he tore himself
loose from pleading woman and plung-
ed into the water with life preserver.
In some communities the writer of
such an article would be shot or sent to
prison for libel, but New York cares
nothing about such tri1es as defamation
of character.
Dana will probably make no reply and

NEGRO POSTMASTER SHOT.
UNKNOWN PARTIES TRY TO KILL
LOFTIN AT HOGANSYILLE.
Politics Led to the Attack, the Negro
Being Offensive to the
White PpOnIe

LAGRANGE, Sept. TO- l. H. Loftin,
the negro postmaster at Hogansvile,
Ga, was shot three times at 8 O'Clock
last night by parties unknown and is to-
day in a precaTiOus condition, though it
is believed the wounds will not prove ia
tai.
L1ftin had Just closed his postofice,
and was few yards from the door, en-
route to his home, when several parties
emerged from the darkness and began to
fire at him. He ran IA few steps and fell
TO the ground apparently dead.
Firing then stopped and the would be
mUrdereTs dispersed, evidently believing
their victim out of the way. Loftin
was subsequently, carried to his home by
his friends ana medical aid was summon
ed
The people of Hogansville were great
~ excited during the night, and the oc-
currence is the talk today in every sec
ton of Troup and adjoining counties,
but no clues can be gathered as to who
did the shooting CT assisted in the at
tempt to assassinate the newly appointed
federal official. No person in Hogans-
vile knows the names of those guilty of
the crime.
Politics led to the attack. Loftin was
appointed about three months ago to the
position of postmaster over the protest
of nearly every white citizen in the town
HOl1ing office under such circumstances
the negro official has displayed a sullen
disposition, it is alleged, toward the
whites and made himself generally OBJ
jectionable to the better element of peO-
pie who are forced in the order of bus
ness to come in contact with him daily.

FIRST AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.

DaV.

Was Printed in Boston and Lived But One
Day.
From the Boston Transcript.
In an article on the ''Prehistoric News
paper" in The National Magazine, Ed
ward Everett Hale speaks of the Boston
Newsletter as 1.-The first newspaper in
America" We are accustomed to the
saying that the first newspaper published
in America was the Boston Newsletter
(the first issue of which appeared Oh
April "A, 1904, and the saying is true
if the first permanent newspaper is
meant.
II is untrue, however, if it be meant
that no newspaper preceded the News
Letter, because the first newspaper pub
lished in America was issued September
%, 1890, or about - years and seven
months before the News Letter began its
existence. The first newspaper publish
ed on this side of the Atlantic lived only
one day, ard only one copy of it is known
to be in existence, That specimen sheet
that curiosity in newspaper litera ture
is in the colonial state paper Office in
London. The paper consisted of four
pages, one of them being left blank in
order that letter nigh. be written upon
that page ana De sent to any distant
friend by mail or otherwise. The paper
was printed two columns to a page, and
in size was 11X7.
The historian of Salem, Rev. Joseph
B. Felt, in his researches for facts con
nected with that ancient commercial
town, discovered in the state paper office
the only known copy of this, the first pa
per published in America. The date of
its issue, September %, 1890, was, as has
been said, about - years and seven
months before the Boston News-L Letter
began itsezistence, the latter, as already
stated, being first issued on April "a
1904. Until Mr.. Felt's discovery of tn,
copy of the previously published news
paper it was supposed that the Boston
Newsletter was the first gazette pub
lished in America
The first and only issue of this previ
ously published newspaper had no title

The Presbyterians of 1916 prayed loud

What use is there in eating when food
does you no good-in fact, when it does
you more harm than good. for such is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have loathing for food there
is no use of forcing 1t down, for it will
not be digested. You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength

ITS WORST FEATURE.
Mob Law Is as Likely To Punish the limo
cent as the Guilty

4'1U'J q" =" II sdH E1IFAtIy % 7 UnIsn the InnO-
cent as the Guilty
The worst feature of mob law is that
it is about as likely to punish the inno-
cent as the guilty. Henry Wall, a
young white man, was lynched near
Friends House, Patrick county, Vir-
ginia, few days ago for the usual
caime. Afterwards il was found that
he was innocent of the charge. There
is much Indignation at the officers of
the law who gave the man up to the
mob, but the real blame lies with pub
lie sentiment which endorses lynching
under any circumstances.
