One Editor There.

It is being told for purposes of laugh
ter, perhaps, that the question of the rel
ative merits of lawyers and editors as to
veracity arose recently at a social affair
where both professions were about equal
Iy represented. Each of course claimed
the h0nors, but the final settlement of the
question was left to representative of
each side. These representatives were to
prepare essays and submit them to a
committee. The best essay would decide
the question. And this the prize
essay: There is one editor in heaven,
though how he got there the Lord only
knows. but it is supposed he rode in on
the blind baggage or got pass When
they found him there they tried to turn
him out, but he refused to go. Then
they hunted all over heaYen for a lawyer

they could not find one. So the editor
held the fort and he is there to this day

It was reported in some of the news
papers that the law which passed the
Legislature providing for the registration
of country voters in the counties of Sum
ner and Montgomery had been passed by
mis- take as a general law and the voters
in other counties would have to be regis
tered in order to vote. This report was a

torney general. The law passed ap-
pears to be a general law but the first sec
ton which provides for registration
boards applies only to the two counties
named.
