A Word for Editors.

People ought not to fare up, says
Charity and Children, when an editor
publishes something they do not be-
iieve. A very intelligent gentleman
told US not long ago that a certain paper
Has rabid and hateful paper, but he
had long been constant reader and ad-
mirer of it. It spoke his mind without
fear or favor and this man stood by IT
for that reason. Many would order it
never to darken their doors again for that
very thing. Sometimes an editor has
better point of view than his readers,
and they should at least be sure OF
their ground before they punish him.
We heard Of an irate father once who
took his son out Of school because the
teacher insisted that he must spell
''tater" with p. And then, dear
brother, granting that you are right and
the editor wrong, you should have pa
tience with man who is sometimes
compelled to dash off matter with the
foreman standing at the door yelling
for copy" Doyou think you would
always say the right and proper thing
under such circumstances? Never for
get that no editor tries to offend, un-
less he is fool. He is your friend,
not your enemy. He may be wrong
but he is generally honest; and you can
afford to put up With a good deal for
an honest man. A broad paper is bound
to have big broad readers.

The State Fair.

The time for the holding of the last
State fair of the century, which all
hands resolved last year should be the
greatest in the history of the society, Is
rapidly approaching, says The State.
This will be the 321 annual fair and it
is to be held October 29 to November 9,
inclusive. This means that the fair is
less than two months distant, and
there is no time to be wasted. This
year premiums have been greatly in
creased, amounting to over 81 900, and
the raee purses have been doubled,
50 900 being offered. Premium lists
and entry blanks will be furnished on
application to the secretary, Col.
Thomas W. Holloway, at Pomaria, 8.
c. Entries must be made in person or
by letter to Colonel Holloway at Poma-
ria or or before O,,o5er 10; after that
date at his cfhce in Columbia, until

A Train Wrecked.

The New Orleans State received q
telegram Thursday which said that S.
lives were lost on the Calf and inter
state train which left Beaumont early
Saturday morning for Bolivar Point.
TIE train reached Bolivar Point about
noon and al preparations were made to
run tie train on the ferry boat prepara
tory to crossing the bay. But the wind
blew so swiftly that the ferry could not
make lsnding and the conductor Of
the train, after allowing it to stand on
the tracks for few minutes started to
back it back toward Beaumont. The
wind increased SO rapidly, coming in
from the open sea, that soon the water
had reached level with the bottom Of
the cars. 1t Tas then thst some Of the
passengers sought safety in the nearby
light house.
In spite Of all efforts eighty FIVE pas
sepgers were blown away or drowned.
TIE train was entirely wrecked. Those
who were saved had to spend over fifty
hours in the dismal light house on al
ncst no rations. The experience Is one
they will remember as one Of the most
terrible of their whole lives.

LEADERS ARE ELATED

Slump.

National Democratic leaders are
much elated over the election results in
Vermont and Maine and predict gen.
eral detection from the Republican par
ty in ali the New Eoglard states. Al
though complete returns have not been
received from Maine, the Republican
claim is only 80, 500, the Republican
plurality for Powers in 1896 having
been 4S, 81. The New EogIsnd cleo
tioDs are regarded as important in that
they indicate heavy Republican oefec-
tiors, watch may De expected to extend
70 the doubtful states Of the middle

The Democratic press bureau has pre-
pared an estimate Of the vote in debst-

election, zhich it is figured, shosed a
Republican slump of ~ per cent, aud a
Democratic gain Of % per cent. AS

Some Of our Office seekers are doing

Some Of our Office seekers are doing
the same thing on a small scale-buying
votes-yes, buying negro votes. The
white primary dident nominate them,
and they have ro1igsed and reniggered:
4 little whiskey aud few dollars will
secure the darkics, and the fear IS that
the tn white primaries will prove a failure.
here are men running for ofice as
independents who rely mainly on the
negro vote, and can't be elected with
out 1t. Such men oaght to have con-
tempt of every good citizen. They
ought to have consempt for themselves,
and reckon they do. The negro who
sells his vote is not half as depra7ed as
the white man who buys it. But we
will know by waiting, and the primary
proves failure, then let US have the

A Big Sum Needed.

The New York Sun, comparing the
Johnstown and the Galveston disassets,
ii an article urging prompt and gen.
erous relief contributions to the strick-
en- people Of Texas, recalls that about
$a,9OO,OOO vas given for the .elies Of
the Johnstown sufferers. The Sun
says truly that greater sum is needed
at Galveston and remarks. 1t was said
of the great famine among the Irish
peasants many years ago thatbV it even
the heart Of the far-aBay Turk was
touched, and ne sent them in pity the
aims ola beggar. America, praise God,
does not need to appeal to the Turk or
any foreign land for succor for her peo-
pie at this time. But there never has
been an hour before in our country's 8
history when the need Of unstinted
charity was greater or when 1t should
be poured out more quickly.

Electoral

None OF the foregoing states was car
ried by Bryan in 1896, although he
managed 10 get one electoral vote in
California and one in Kentucky. OF
the states enumerated above the Rep
ub!icaa pluralities in Msrylany, West
Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, North
Dakota, California and Oregon might
be considered close, but 10 other states
the Republican pluralities were large.
Of course it is not believed at Demo-
cratic headquarters that Colonel Bryan
will carry all the states named IN the
foregoing table, but the drift Of public
opinion as indicated by the rockbound
states Of Vermont aud Maine is regard
ed as significant.
George Fred Williams Of Massachu-
setts figures thar Bryan will receive
261 electoral votes, as compared with
176 four years ago.
