THE NEGRO MADE THEM CHANGE.

one Republican. When they came to ap-
point school committeeman, they refused
to listen to the clamor of the negroes to
have a voice in the selection Of white
teachers for white schools, and appointed
white committeeman throughout. The
negro made a big kick, and the Clinton

Duplin board spoiled good resolution

THE DOCTORS AND THE EDITORS.

At the meeting of the State Medlcal
Society and the State Press AssocaIloh'
which met on the same days at More
head this year, there was developed
wide divergence of views on the ethlcS
of newspaper advertising. A popular
doctor was severe in his criticism or
those papers, particularly religious pa
pers. that advertised patent medicines
which he thought were frauds and num-
bugs. Some of the editors replied to TINS
criticism. but if any friction at all was
created it was not to be compared to the
war between these great professions that
is on in Illinois and Ohio. Newspaper
DOM gives a succinct account or the
war, as follows:
1.-THE Southern Illinois Press AS
sociation has adopted rule re-
curing newspapers to omit the title
of DR. in referring to medical men,
reducing the disciples of ESculapius
to plain Mr. This step was taken to
discipline the Southern Medical AS

membership two advertising physi-
clans. In Ohio strained relations en-
list between the medical fraternity
and the newspaper men. because OF
the activity of The former in their
efforts to control nominations for the
Legislature IN both parties, with the
hope of passing bill prohibiting the
sale of proprietary medicines. The
Ohio editors threaten, in case the
doctors are successful, to mention
name of the attending physician in
the published announcement of each
death. The sooner medical men wake
to the fact that their code Of ethics
has no place in this age of advertise
ing, the better it will be for both
doctors and newspaper men,"
The sooner each profession recognizes
that the other has right tc adopt its
own code of ethics, and learns to let the
Their alone, the better it will be for both
the professions and for the public.
