THE RACE WAR HUMBUG.

Every few days we are disguised by
the announcement in scare line letters
of ga Race War" somewhere in the
south. It seems that the slightest
trouble or outbreak between hand
full of mean whites and a gang of
worthless negroes is SO designated,
creating false opinion abroad as to
existing southern conditions. The
fact is that nothing approximating a
trace war; has existed or been
thought Of in the south since the days
of vagabond swarmery and carpetbae
leadership that characterized recon
struction times;'' and nothing Of the
kind is probable or possible in this
section. In this region all good men
of all races are pronounced friends OF
peace and order, and there will never
be the slightest danger of division
of our people upon race lines incident
to the misdeeds of individuals of
either race. The fools who shrek
trace war; are about on a line with
the idiots who characterize every
hoodlum street fight as "a duel'.-
Aberdeen Examiner.

in this way when it is not his fault
and without his knowledge. Because
a man is publishing newspaper is
not evidence that he knows all that
happens, and the absence Of name is
often caused by the fact that lie never
knew of the occurrence. Another
thing in getting out paper one has
countless things to remember and &C.
casionally an item will escape his
memory. But never does he intent
ionally omit any names or news that
should be made public, no matter
whether it be of persons friendly or
unfriendly. He renders justice to all
and must not let prejudice enter the
columns of his paper.
Before taking offense, everyone
should always remember that the
newspaper does not Intentionally
slight anyone.

Such enterprising parasites ought
to be sot upon; not only by the candi.
dates, but by the people also. -Four
years ago just such an enterprise was
started at DeKalb. The whole out.
fit could have been bought for $25.
Not only were the candidates feeced
but quite number of good citizens
were induced to subscribe for it; and

We know of one man who is buck
ing against the school extension, and
has house full of children, and is
assessed for $50 even. The two
months free school would cost him 8
cents even; 9 cents to send seven
children to school two months would
be 6 and 81 mills per month. 1t does
look like that would be cheap enough.

In speaking of John Sharp Will
liams, the New Orleans States says
He is an honor to the nation He
is ascholar, thinker, statesman.
AS nearly as any other man in public
life he represents, as wrote the Wash
ington Post, the class that was the
glory of the south in the past, and
that for many centuries has been the
'bulwark of the Anglo Saxon race in
England. - He is the country gentle
man dealing with public affairs.
May he live long and be given
strength to serve and honor his
country.'
