FAIR SMOKERS
OF CIGARET TES

There will be no more smoking by Ia
dies i'll the retiring room OF the Main
Street Station
For a while young ladies made prac-
ticc Of going into the retiring room for
a quiet smoke. and until they got into
the habit OF employing the maid in charge
Of the room to procure the cigarettes at
the depot cigar stand. they had every
thing as they pleased.
Dainty little cigarette tops and match
ends ornamented the floor Of the retiring
room. and the smoke from the cigarettes
permeated the atmosphere to such an ex-
ten, that Stauonmaster Miller was forced
to issue an order that no more smoking
should be indulged in by ladies in the
waiting room.
The order was issued and the maid en-
forced it. and now the fair smokers will
have to sit out in the public smoking
room among the plebians if they wish to
enjoy themselves in inhaling the fumes
from the Turkish cigarettes or the local
Richmond Gem
There has been no smoking, however,
since the order went forth.
1t became common talk among the rail-
road people. and the habit grew to such
an extant that It had to be stopped.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

A movement is under way to
make of Sinner an independent
school district, The Gazette has
iu viewed a number of prominent
citizens AID nearly all seem to
favor the change. It would add
greatly to the efficiency of our
schools and provide fund for the
erection of a new and more COM
modious building. This is about
the only point on which Sinner has
not kept pace with the surrounding
towns and it is really one Of the
most important for the upbuilding
Of the town.
Our sister city of Moulton. with
only half our population, has a
magnificent new brick school build
ing, erected by the enterprise and
magnanimity Of her citizens.
We hope the new trustees will
get together and formulate "a plan
looking to this end. A special tax
of % cents ON the hundred dollars
would, we believe, fill all present
requirements.

The Memphis Comm~rcial-Appeal
thus explains to captions persons who
object to the rather questionable edi-
toriai "we," why II Is 20 often used
in many of the best newspapers:
The origin Of the editorial I'VE" is
involved in some doubt. but 1t was
nrst used, in all probability, to con-
vey q plurality Of ideas. Kings,
princes, potentates, ecclesiastical dig
nitaries or others who speak OF write
in . representative capacity make use
Of the plural pronoun. The continued
use Of the editorial I'VE" in modern
journalism is no longer primarily to
convey . plurality Of idea but it is
used 10 conceal individuality and
avoid any semblance Of eRotism ON the
part Of an editor. In addition to num-
erous other virtues the modern editor
IL exceedingly modest. and shrinks
from publicity, a. . maiden shrinks
from mouse. Editors who write ali
the wise things appearing in the news
papers are wholly unselfish, and they
are always anxious that the public and
the universe at large shall share in
the honor and glory which is theirs.
hence the "I' never obtrudes itself
in public, the individual preferrinR
to conceal himself behind plural
pronoun in which his personality is
unrevealed and his identity undis-
closed.
