ABOUT PRINTING THE NEWS.

This paper has lately been requested
In numerous instances not to pnblis b
mat tiers of news relating to the mayor :
court. Our reporters have respected
these requests. Hereafter matters OF
news, irrespective OF whom it may con-
Germ, will be published unless the mat
ter be 40 indecent that it should not 60
into the columns OF the paper. 1t is
not our desire to hurt the feelings q
injure anyone but after carefully con-
sldering the matter we think it good
policy, when publishing newspaper,
to publish the news.-Kinston Free
Press.
The foregoing by the Free Press SIM
ply tells a sort of thorny secret that
pricks the flesh in almost every news
paper Office in the land. To gay tie
truth, the public generally is very ex-
acting end sometimes unfair with
newspapers. When a newspaper re-
porter begins to discriminate In news
matters, either to expose one person Or
to shield another, he has entered field
that to the thoughtful and reasoning
mind is quite uninriting.
The truth is, in no york on earth
does one find more clearly demonstfat-
ed the Latin idiom that "there are as
many minds as there are persons" than
in newspaper reporting. For instance,
something happens in a town or
community that creates general talk of
the most unfavcrable nature, and the
people talk it end continue to talk it !;
but when it is printed in newspaper
some Of the very persons who talked
the most and most freely are the
very first to criticize the paper tor
printing it.
Nine times out Of ten when strene-
Gus objections are made TO local news
it 10 q case of depending on whoee OK
is gored." The newspapers could some
times make it lively by printing all
that floats when they with conmenda-
Die conservatism let many things pass
unnoticed.
But when matter becomes general
news either by court trials or common
talk, if IL is not too indecent to GO into
print no newspaper ought to be criti-
cized for printing it. Newspapers
many times print things that they re-
greet fully as much as do the readers o.
the persons concerned, but the line
where TO begin sitting news to shield
one Or expose another is hard to find
and we're it ever 50 easily found W.
should doubt whether there weuld bs
wisdom or right in observing it.
The newspaper is the first medium
to which the public turns for advocat
ing good enterprise o, denoupcing
threatening evil; but when it print
news that does not exactly suit ever,
one it is readily discounted for doing SO
So far as this paper is concerned. i
has never printed an anpleasan
item of news without bearing as dec
or deeper regret over 1t than any on
who read it or heard of it.
Finally, another view: Many read
ers gay that they pay for newspapers ii
order to get the news. and so they hol
the papsr responsible for giving tn
news as part OF the contract; and a
long az paper prints the decent trutl
in a reasonably conservative manner
it ought to go tree of blame.

YOUNG GIANTS IN DEBATE.

Atlanta Journal.
The debate between tie chosen
champions of the University OF Georgia
and the University Of North Carolina
at Athens last Friday night was
superb display of youthful! intellect and
dialectic skill and power.
The four young men who then and
there met and contended on the arena
of debate left lasting impression upon
every one who heard them and in the
minds Of many raised the hopes OF the
possibilities OF the generation which is
soon to take part in the affairs OF our
country.
These young intellectual athletes
| debated one of the great problems OF
our time, the question whether the
combinations commonly known as
trusts are more injurious than beneficial
To say that each side upheld its con-
IGNITION well is an underestimate. We
must seek the superlatlve to find terms
in which to characterize their efforts
properly.
Georgia had the popular side of the
question, the side against the trusts, and
yet so splendidly did North Carolina
support its position that When the three
Judges came to combine their separate
and Independent estimates OF the
merits of the discussion only a small
| fraction separated the disputants, but
the balance fell in Georgla's favor.
What fine specimens of high, ambi-
tious, thoughtful and fcrcefuI young
manhood those four boys we're
Goodrich and Mcintyre of Georgia !;
Stern and Williams of North Carolina !!
| Not one of them more than twenty
and all of them to continue for more
than a year yet in the college curric-
ulum
Snch marshaling CT facts and logic
as every one of these young giants eff
fec.ed would do credit to veteran de-
baters.
Seldom even in the halls OF national
legislation is such strong, clean, clear
and intelligen! discussion heard as
these youngsters gave last Friday night.
They had studied the subject in all its
bearings and had prepared arguments
with consummate skill.
When Judge Samuel Lumpkin IN
delivering the award said that he did
not believe that an ADLER or more in
structive debate had been heard in the
Georgia legislature within the last
twenty years, a gentleman in the au-
dience said that he was giving faint
praise.
Seldom in any of our frequent con.
ferences which have considered the
trust problem have the reasons pro and
con been given SO we'll; seldom have
the attack and defence been so forclbly
made and resisted.
| The style, bearing and manner Of the
debaters was weIlnigh beyond criticism
There was none of that exuberance
of rhetoric which so often mars and
weakens the effect of what even very
bright young men usually give as the
result of their study and reflections
Throughout the debate there YVES
nothing but solid argument, apt illus
trations, close adherence to the subjec
under discussion end noble courtesy
toward the opposition.
Every Georgian who heard the de
bate was as proud of North Carolina a
North Carolina would have been PROUD
of Georgia had the debate occurred a
her university. And so in a higi
sense, in the highest sense, indeed, thu
universal verdict was, that though on
side won the decision, both sides wer
splendidly victorious.

MIGHT BUY INDIAN SPRINGS.

There is a strong movement OH foot
for the location of the Soldiers LONE
at Indian Spring. The proposition is
to have the state purchase the Wig
wan Hotel at that place. 1t is argued
that this building is erected on prop
erty of the state. and that the build
ing can be purch lsed a. q reasonable
figure. This proposition was FIRE ely dis
cussed during the reunion of the Con-
federate veterans of The state last week
and ii was received with much favor
by many. The Wigwam is sufficient
in size to take care of about BOD guests,
and many are of the opinion that the
building could be purchase at a lowe'
price than a new building sufficient IN
size to care for half as many veterans
could be erected at any other place.
The splendid mineral water ut this
place, which has contributed TO the
health of so many persons, would.
many think, be of great benefit to the
old soldiers. 1t is not known just
who is behind the movement. but 1t
is thought that the matter will be
brought to the attention of the present
legislature, and some action taken Ly
