paper.

1t occurred to us this week as WE
ran over our forty or fifty exchanges
to note the moral tone Of them. These
papers are of all sizes and grades,
from every variety of town, and are
edited by practical men who are pretty
we'll acquainted with the world, the
flesh and the devil. In not one OF
them did we find a defense for i'm
morality. In not one of them did we
find semblance of defense for whis-
key. In not one of them was there a
trace of vulgarity, and none taught or
justified dishonesty. Neither could
we find sheer at purity, at religion,
at the better things of life. In many
Of them were bits of excellent advice,
little homely sermons on temperance,
frugality and industry. All of them
were loyal to the home town and ad-
vocated home principles in govern
ment and individuals. Where there
was mention of public schools it was
in terms of praise. To be sure there
was some fun poked at shams, some
scorn at pretense, but the note in every
one of these two-score papers was for
decency, progress, enlightenment,
morality. And not one of these editors,
we know many of them personally, and
Of all of those we know not one is a
drinking man, not one Is gambler,
not one is libertine. Most of them
judges of people and events. A pretty
decent lot they are; in fact. we doubt
If any other profession can offer
higher or even as high q showing.
Besides all this the country editor is
proverbially liberal and sfree-hearted
in every way. No stray printer goes
away hungry if the editor can dig a
quarter. No public subscription list
ever passes him without his mite.
Gives freely of his time and space to
the public welfare. This is not an
effort to throw boquet at our con-
temporaries, but with Paul, we be-

SPRING HILL NORMAL s. INDUS
TRIAL SCHOOL.

Rev. A. O. Morris. Of Florence,
passed through town few days ago.
He reported that the Spring Hill
Normal and Industrial School, two
miles west of Florence, was in splen-
did shape. Prof. G. w. Williams,
the principal, is managing the affairs
we'll, and the future outlook for the
proper training of the colored youths
is encouraging.
Rev. A. @. Morris has been ap-
pointed by the board Of directors as
solicitor, to ask help of the public
generally. He is pleased with the
public spirlt-help received SO far.
Says they will need fifteen hundred
dollars to build and furnish another
dormitory before the opening of an.
other term. The solicitor seems to
stand to the Scriptures in support OF
work of raising money, and refers the
readers to the following texts for their
consideration:

ShrlekiRg And Shooting.

1t is comfort to realize when we
hear people talking about 1.-THE good
old times that used to be. = that in
some respects, at least, we show more
common sense to-day. One Instance
is in our attitude toward women.
There was a time when woman was
expected to shrek and faint in almost
any emergency. 1t was even con-
sidered an attractive exhibition of de-
pendence. To-day we pardon lack OF
nerve and self-pOssession in woman
almost as little as in man. The girl
who rides and shoots has taken the
place of the Girl who used to shrek
and faint. No small factor in bring
ing this welcome change about has
been the campaign carried on by the
J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co., Chico
pee Falls, Mass, makers of the famous
Stevens firearms, who have introduced
our girls to the healthy, up-building
sport of outdoor shooting. The com
pany have issued a book illustrating
many varieties of lightweight rifles,
shotguns and pistols which girls all
over the country are using to-day,
1t contains much useful and interest
ing information on such points as the
selection, care and testing of firearms,
besides notes on ammunition, targets,
etc. We understand the book will be
sent free to anyone sending four cents
in stamps, to cover postage.
