A. Mt. Pleasant correspondent to the |
Nashville News says that the reports
heretofore published concerning the
phosphate combine, We're "unauthor-
lied - that while the opinion prevails
that the deal is a go, neither the pro
motors nor the sellers authorized the
publication. Fortunately we have no
law in this country yet though it may
come to that which requires censor
to pass upon and authorize news
items before they are given to the pub
lie. Trust magnates would doubtless
be glad if there was such law, and
they would stop all unauthorized
editorial comment as well if they could
and they do in their subsidized
newspapers, but to that extent only have
they been able yet to muzzle the press.
Some people do not seem to understand
that the business Of newspapers is to
give the news. They expect the paper
to give the news about everybody and
everything except themselves and
their affairs. These they want to be
authorized. The Herald is fire.
quently asked to hold for a day or
two news item which, if held for
a day or two would be no news item ;
those making the request forgetting
that the purpose and business of a
Newspaper is to give the news while it
is news; to get it to the people before
they hear it otherwise, or as soon
thereafter as possible. The interest of
newspaper depends upon the fresh
ness of it's news; its very existence
depends upon the prOmptness of its
news service. One lady will give a
very small and select card party and
quit taking the paper if no mention
is made of it. At another time,
perhaps this same lady will give the
same sort of function, but she has
her reasons for not wanting it
known, and woe to the paper that
publishes it. 1t is the same way in
business matters. One time the pro-
meters will want to keep it dead
secret for business reasons. - Another
time they will want all the free adver-
Using they can get. And at each
particular time both the society matron
and the business man want the
paper run exactly according to their
notion oblivious to the fact that the
public wants and expects the news,
and that it is the duty and business
of newspaper to give it to them. So
the next time anything of news
character happens in your life, remem-
Der please that it is the business, policy
and duty of the Herald to give the
news, and please do not ask us to dis
appoint all our readers and change the
business policy of the paper, just tc
crafty within of yours.

The excitement and interest in Nash
vile anent the Baxter railroad PROPOSE
ton is little short of a revolution. The
people have borne patiently and long
the tyranny and robbery of the L & n,
and now to have them interfering when
at last an opportunity comes to give
them an independent line and competing
rates, is more than they can stand, and
they are turning upon Stahlman and his
gang with the dangerous wrath of the
long pent up feelings of a patient man.
The surprise is that the people have en-
dured so long. Toe pity is that this
corporate greed, this trust craze, should
be allowed to sJarve the masses and
force them to blOodshed and revolution.
Revolution though always to be de
plored, is not always to be condemned.
The l.. & n. and other corporate monop.
olies must cease their piracies or take
the consequences. They must stop
their robberies or they will have worse
than rotten eggs hurled at them.
