TIE COUNTRY editor,
HIS WoRK>AND PATIENCE.
Makes And Fashions Times.

| Macon Telegraph.
The country editor does not have to
put his sign manual in shoe-peg type
| to ponderous dou ble-measure utterance,
top o! colnmn next to pure reading
raatter, nor does he find it necessary to
jam into the midst OF editorial weight
lness reprint of his erudite face as an
| affidavit of authorship, wisdom and
good looks. In businessl.ke, practi-
cal way he catches mp the thread of life.
and with fingers deft (althouah often a
bit numb at times from long picking
at the letter boxes in the case), un-
ravels the kinks, feeds the bcbbin and
speeds the shuttle. He does not regard
himself as the author and finisher of
the whole fabric. Conscious, however,
that he is an important factor, he does
his part, and there the homer rests.
He knows that he is net the Whole
Thing, and in this he is wise. But in
this wisdom there turks the weakness
pointed out in the foregoing. In his
poverty lmost country editors ara poor)
and in his circumscribed sphere, he
half way suspects at times that the
Whole Thing is in the keeping OF pol
i;icians in high station and their daily
organs. This temptation comes to him
at times, robs him OF his own proper
ro1er; not mindful that with gals OH
his heels the devil rides doubt, capari-
sonsd with the trappings ol death,
through the soul OF man. While IN a
state Of uncertainty the country editor
yields lis province, and at the drum
tap falls in line and keeps step to the
organ griId.
The worlds great minds haye come
from rural environments. Fsycao!c-
gists have not yet unrayeled the whole
of the mysterious relation between
mind and matter, but experience teach
es that tile &C existent slate is mutuall,
dependent /; that a vigorous ff1;nd needs
a healthy body, and that the two come
nearest to perfection when grounded
IN soil nearest TO natures God. The
farm aid t;fe forest have been the nur-
aery O! American s.aie5Els.s. The
country editor has been the wise coun-
selor and sale mentor Of young minds
which later kept listening senates
wai.!ng on their words. His mission
has not ended-his task has Just begun,
unless the hothouse growth Tor strip
Iings about the greater ci ties has be-
come more virile and less tender and
sappy--usually succulent bits for satan.
Thsre is, as yet, nc evidence Of a change
in this well-estab!ished rule.
There is an inviting field for states
manship TO-DAY, and the problems of
the future will be no less serious. The
Goi!nttv sd,torj with or without sop or
taffy, will go on tiliing :i1o virgin soil
where minds are made and fashioned.

Who is that sad, disconsolate- looking
fellow?
He is man who has made study
Of rules of health.

Everybody's rules OF health. That's
the trouble with him. He has been
trying to live up to them.
What does he do?
Everything that he Is told to do, and
when he isn't doing anything else he
worries because the rules are so con-
fllcting.
And is it undermining his healt9
Sure. it would undermine anyone Z

What are some of the rules?
Well, here are two of them: "Eat
only light breakfast" and "Break-
last should be the best meal of the
day..
What are some others?
"Run or walk two miles before break
FAST" and "Never attempt to do any
thing on an empty stomach"
Any more?
"Take a cold bath the frst thing in
the morning" and "Remember the
shock to the system OF suddenly en-
countering heat or cold is very lnjur-
ious."
Anything else?
"Never Use d pillows" and "Tho
most refreshing sleep is had when the
head is somewhat elevated
Is that all.
Oh dear, 20. There are hundreds OF
these rules For instance: "Do not
get In the habit of sleeping In the day

In the afternoon )" ''Eat only at meal
times" and Eat whenever you are
hungry; )" "Eat no meat" and "Ifyou

| available In case of any fnishap. This
is another detail OF precautlon. It is
easy enough, however, to arrange these
minor matters Of right of way, a clear
track and steady progress. The fun
comes when, after the Presidents train
has psesed, the side-tracked trains have
been all disarranged, trains are ordered
to meet and pass at unaccustomed sta
tlons, and there is general confusion all
along the road. It takes day or two
to get back to the usual routine.
"And yet," remarked during lull
in the conversation, something may
happen that you cannot foresee?" The
answer comes from the strong-vlsaged
man over in the corner. He is the
master OF transportation of the road.
"Oh, yes" he says with composure,
''something may happen, but alter we
have reduced the chances CT that some
thing to a minimum, we can only
trust in Providence. Why" he con-
tinued, "this road is patrolled tonight
with the same thoroughness and care
that police force patrols city. There
is man at every bridge and tunnel,
and every switch has been examined
and tested. Comparatively speaking,
the train Is running between file of
men on each side of the track. You
are as safe here tonight as you would
be in your own home. At every sta
tlon which we pass-no matter what
may be the time of night-the agent is
on duty, personally inspecting bis
switches and his lamps"
Is it any wonder that the President
sleeps peacefully while the >steaming,
Kissing locomotive plupges On into the
night? Is it strange that be leaves
without hesitation the certain security
of the White House for the apparently
more dangerous train? Certainly not,
when he knows Of the precautions
which have been taken to iDsdte his
absolute safety.

We remember that some years ago
we heard Rev. G. A Jenkins, of Colds
boro, in spesch on Foreign Missions,
say tina: he thought Chinese who com 9
to America and become ChristiaEs
will make successful missionaries fer
the Christian religion in their home
land.
Mr.. Jenkins remarks are recalled by
the following which is clipped from
the Norfolk Landmark
"a Chinese Sunday-sc!lool was o.
saulzed at the Union Mission Sunday
afternoon with ten OF the Norfolk cel-
ony of Ceiestials present. This new
departure at the Mission was at the re-
quest of the Chinese themselves, for
religious instruction, and they gave
the names OF fIty-fve who would prob
ably atfend next Sunday. Five Of
those present yesterday could read
Engl1sh, and they sang the popular
Christian hymns with much interest and
enthusiasm. The entire party sang a
hymn II Chinese. Quite number of
them attended the service at the Mis-
sion at night, and one of them remark
ed that he wouh like to go home 10
China and tell his people of the Chris
tian religion. There are some goo
Chinese IN the colony here, and Sup
erlntendent Ashley, of the Mission,
hopes to do large work among them.
He says he is in need of teachers for
the ay-schooi-which will meet
regularly on Sunday aiternoons-and
he would like to haye the assistance Of
those who feel an interest in Chinese
eYangelization."

President McKinley's tour across the
country through the South to the far
West and back to Washington has been
marked by becoming courtesy ali
around except at El Paso, Texas.
Rev. W. NJ. Leftwich, OF that city,
it is said, was the boyhood friend OF
President Mckinley. The President
spent Sunday there and went to hear
Mr.. Leftwich preach. The preacher
chose as the theme of his discourse
TRUSTS and the Present Social Con-
dltions Existing in the United States"
He handled the subject with yigcr
and emphasis, declaring against the
principles Of the Republican party, rot
by that name, but in unmistakable
meaning.
Perhaps every word the preacher
said was true, AMI perhaps every sen-
tence was worthy to be written down
and printed in book and sent broad
cast all over the land for the enllghten-
ment OF the people; bus we agree with
the Charlotte News that he chose the
wrong place and time to say it. Speak
ing Of the President and the incident
the News says:
"He has been the guest OF that por-
ton of the country through which he
has travelled, and has been treated with
that difference due his. distinguished
position, regardless of what his polit-
ical views are or may be.
"It must have been unpleasant for
him to be compelled to sit and listen
TO the severe criticisms OF the policies
Of bis party, when he evidently expect
ed to enjoy the rest OF the Sabbath and
hear the Word of God from the heart
and lips OF his old boyhood friend.
eve are sorry the display Of bad
taste, of which Mr.. Leftwich has evil
IDENTIFY been guilty, should have occur
red in a Southern CITY,"
And THE COMMONWEALTH adds that
whatever the fulminic preachers de-
nomination-we have not seen it stated
and do not know-there is little doubt
that his most level-headed parishioneTs
we're ashamed of his display of bad
taste.

shooters took part. the czar breakfasted
with the army in the camp. A number
Of toasts were proposed, and Grand Duke
Vladimir, who Is a staunch friend of the
F~inlanders. proposed one for the brave
and efficient army Of Finland. But his
words were followed by a painful silence.
The car only moved his glass to one
side. This incident is but another proof
of the fact that the %Finnophobes have
succeeded In making the most of the Rus
SLAMS believe that the Finlanders are
planning a secession from Russia and
that the army Of Finland Is not to be

The protest OF half q million Finnish
citizens against the Russian CONSUMPTION
law moves slowly indeed. The idea Of
the signers was that the n of Fin

Governor-General Bobrikof instructed

senate at last took the decisive step the
senators informed the car that they
could not avoid sending it" to his ma
