fortunate if they live, pay their bills,
and support the editor. The news
papers, however, would be a more
lucrative investment if its friends
AID patrons would be a little more
thoughtful. Every newspaper Office
is obliged to keep an expert lob
printer, and every business man has
job printing done. There is reas-
enable profit in this class Of work. If
the newspaper Office got the Job
work of its patrons the paper would
be better and more prosperous. And
why not! Why moi give your Job

being equal? Hasn't the newspaper
which breaches your doctrine every
Gay and every week, which prints
your notices &c, all free, a right to
expect that you shall not forget them
when you wish little work done in
which there is a small profit? Even
common Justice would seem to jus i.
fy this view of the matter.

gar, for "lies' they are, pure and
simple. AS the campaign draws
TO close, the number and charac-
ter of miSSi atemcnts made are ab
solutoly astounding. The Repub'

monstrcus for some Of their orators
even "leaders" to pronulgate
concerning Mr.. Bryan. Even Mr..
Hanna has SO far forgotten, if he
ever knew what truth is, as to
give utterance and countenance to
the most absurd stories imaginable.
We warn our readers generally
to take, with due allowance, the
statements of these yellow Journals
and would-be orators of the Oppo-
sition. We all know that Mr.
Bryan has been before the Amer,

years, making, on an average one

made "a break, =" or been detected Of

What Difference?

Republican "spell-binders," in this
and other counties, have persisted in
declaring that it is the purpose of
the democrats to disfranchise a
large number of white voters as
soon as possible. These statements
are persistently made in the face of
apositive denial by the Democrats
themselves, and in the face of reas.
on and common sense. w c ask these
gentlemen please to tell us how Tn IS
question Of constitutional conven-
ton can be brought into this cam
palgn one way or another? Suppose
MIR. Bryan and Mr.. Rhea are elected
what will this have to do with the
question of the states new constitu-
ton? On the other hand, suppose
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr., Walker are
elected, what bearing could their cleo
ton possibly have on this State ques
ton? Will some or these wise acres
tell us? They know, as we'll as we do
that the constitutional convention
question has nothing on earth to
do with this present election
Nevertheless some people will be
deceived in the matter, and this is
about all the gentlemen of oratorical
proclivities hope for.

Go mmunic0ted.

Mr.. EDIToR:- wish To say few
works in your valuable paper, as
best L may, though not accustomed
TO writing. about the frequent coils
ions between the white and colored
boys OF this town. Your last paper,
| believe Il was, contained an &C.
count of a disgraceful row and fight
which occurred on main street be-
tween several colored and white boys,
and their trial before the police
court&c. Now comes another &C
count of a quarrel between colored
and white boys, near the depot, in
which some of our best boys figure.
In both Of these quarrels knives,
pistols and other deadly weapons
were used, but fortunately no lives
were lost, though attempts were
made in each case To kill, aud that
no one was killed aad lives and
homes wrecked is a wonder Now,
have this To say: In both these
cases, and nearly all similar cases,
the white boys are at fault. These
difficulties each took place at negro
festivals or gatherings at which
white boys had no business, (unless
they were invi:cd), and should have
remained away. When white boys
attend negro festivals and weddings
and entertainments, and get done
up it is no matter for them. These
white boys know, and everybody
else knows, that they are there for no
good purpose, are not wanted there,
and should remain away. If / was
Mayor and such cases were brought
up before me would invariably pun
ish the white boys and let the colored
boys go free. The whites have no
business mixing up with and dis
turbing the colOred people on such
occasions, and if they get their heads
cracked and their eyes bunged up it
is no mere than they deserve.
1t is a shame and disgrace to so
ciety that the colored people cannot
hvve a festival or gathering but what
some white boys are mixed up in it.
Let the b )ys stay on their own side
Of the fence, both white and colored.
A white boy is as much out Of place
in a colored gathering unlimited as
a colored boy would be in gather
ing of white people unlimited, and
each should be willing to take the
consequences, and hence we say, let
each race stay where it belongs.
The negroe has his rights which
should be respected the same as the
whites, and each should stay in his
own place. Water and oil will not
mix Political, social. and even re-
ilgious equality in this country, be-
tween whites and black will meyer be
can never, and ought never to be,
and am always glad-in a sense,
when hear Of a white hoy being
done up by colore boys, when the
white boy is trespassing upon the
colorod boys territory, or putting
himself on an equality with him.

tits matter not simply Of eonvens i

mountains should be able to Keep up
constant telegraphic communication

gineering. Storms often rage for days
and weeks at high attitudes, with such
violence as to defeat all attempts at
reaching the observers; telegraph
posts are swept down by bowling winds
and buried under masses of snow, while
the wires themselves frequently give
way under the severity of the strain.
