DO EDITORS REALLY WORK?

There seems to be an impression in
some quarters that editors do not real
~ have any serious hard work to dc.
Not many days ago a young boy in
Raleigh, whose father is a successful
banker and who has relative who is
ar editor, was asked by his mother:
son. who does the most work, your
father or Uncle y - The little fellow
was astounded at the questions and
answered: Uncle Y does not do any
work at all. All he does is to sit at
his desk and read papers and write.
He doesn't work.
There may be grown up people who
entertain the same idea about the
work of an editor. In order to show
how erroneous their idea is we give
the following detailed account of the
daily labors of a North Carolina edi-
tor, as recounted by himself In the
last issue of the Marshville Home, Ed
itor Green thus tells of how he en-
ploys his time:
Somebody asked the editor of this
paper if he liked to work. Well. no.
not as anybody has ever heard of. We
generally get up at o'clock in the
morning. light our lantern (the one
we took on an advertising bilD feed
the stock, milk the COW, and then
hang our rejecting lantern on the
wood house and cut wood till daylight.
Then we wake the superintendent OF
our farm and consult with him about
the farm work. 1t doesn't do any
good to wake him before day. If we
do. he goes back to sleep and gets his
may out. which takes till sun.up, if he
hasn't been 'possum hunting in the
early part of the night. In the latter
case he doesn't get up when the sun
does. We then drive to town, cut
wood again for the office heater, look
over our mail which sometimes has
between cost and retail price in adver-
tiser who wants to sell us some of his
stuff at cost and take the difference
between cost and reail price in adver-
Using in our publication. and incl
dentaly informs us that other pub
fishers are jumping at The chance.
After dumping that kind OF CORE
spondenCe into the waste basket. We
begin to fill our regular position at the
office. which is editor, foreman, COM
positor. proof reader, business mana
ger, advertising writer and solicitor,
Iressman, Job printer. reporter, and
taking 4 little extra work. such rs dis
ributing a secondhand mailing list
and putting our own mailing list in
type. We quit the office about sum
down. drive a mile end a half nome
and proceed again to feed ZIP things
milk the COW. cut and carry in wood
and dc hundred other little turns in
cidental to our occupation. of course
We are a moderately busy man but We
can't say that we are especially fond
Of work. We make this explanation
lest somebody should misrepresent us
by saying that ne really like TO work. =
The little Raleigh boy might admit
that the editor Of that Union county
Paper worked but he would regard
The feeding of stock, milking, wood
cutting and the like as his real labor
and the editorial work as his dyer
sion.

Spurgeon- Finley.

Thursday evening at 6 80 at the home
OF the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
X. Finley, on Military hill occurred the
marriage of Miss Myrtle Finley to Chas.
Albert Spurgeon. The immediate friends
and relatives were the only guests. Miss
Alice Spurgeon presided at the piano and
softly played the wedding march as the
handsome young compile appeared and
took their position under the tastily ar
ranged smilax. Rev. r. c. Sargent spoke
the solemn words which marked their
nuptial vows, after which the usual CON
gratulations followed A bountiful
spread, music and conversation filled the
evening with pleasure. Mr.. Spurpeon
has leased school section near Bridge
port and has spent the summer in break
ing it up and putting in a crop of wheat.
He will, after a short wedding trip, take
his beautiful young wife to this and make
1t his future home. Mr.. Spurgeon is full
OF energy and no doubt will make a great
success.
One striking and novel event of the
evening was the serenade by the college
students, MIR. and Mrs. Spurgeon having
both been students last year, About 800
"horned" creatures appeared and
marched around the yard and house
playing "The Stars and Stripes Forever"
1t was the biggest event in sound we ever
heard. The bride and groom appeared
upon the porch and received the cheers
and congratulations of the multitude.
Altogether the event was most happy
and the young couple were launched in
welded life most auspiciously.
