Making a Newspaper.

There are hundreds of people who
envy the newspaper editor the easy
and satisfactory time they think he
has, and who spend many Of their re-
Elective moments dreaming how pleas
ant it would be if they were in a po-
sition To employ themselves telling
other people what 10 do, and how To
do it. boosting people they like. squelch-
ing people they do not like. and enjoy
ing the plaudits of Il gaping public.
If. as matter of fact. this very
common conception of the pleasures
and prerogatives of the newspaper edi-
tor was anything like in keeping with
the actual conditions. the position of
editing a newspaper would indeed be
one to be sought after by those who
thirst for power.
But this is hardly a correct picture.
1t is safe To say that if in search of
all the newspaper offices of the world
there could be found an editor who
fuIfllS such conceptions as have been
outlined. more careful investigation will
develop that he himself has only just
left the ranks of the dreamerS referred
to and has not been engaged at his
new occupation long enough To get out
three consecutive issues Of his publ
cation This self complacent and de-
lightful individual will never be found
among the seasoned veterans of the
calling.
There are. newspaper men who Will

THAT is an interesting editorial that
we reproduce from the Columbia State
on the Sellers case, and it seems to
be very we'll calculated to make us
inquire whether the laws of South
Carolina are being enforced in a man.
ner to secure the protection of society.
In the situation as the State describes
it, we have the violatOr of the law as
sociated with the presumed conserva-
tors Of the law, both arrayed against
society at large for mutual gain. If
instead of such a situation as here de-
scribed the State had published a COL
umn news story giving facts about an
organized band of safe crackers estab-
lished at some particular place in the
city, the people would have probably
taken serious notice. and there would
be some effort for public protection.
But the situation is really worse than
that, and the most pertinent question
that arises to the average mind is
whether our contemporary has not laid
itself liable to damages through a suit
at law

EX-GOVERNOR Hayward has with
drawn from the senatorial race on the
advice of his physicians, he being in
poor health at this time, and stimuli
taneously with the news of his with
drawal comes the announcement that
Hon. r. G. Rhett, mayor of Charleston
will stand for the place. Just what ef-
feet Mayor Rhett's entrance into the
field will have on the situation, we dc
not care to predict; but we have nc
hesitation in saying that he is the
equal from whatever standpoint, of any
man who has asked the people for this
position in good many years past
and whatever may have been the
chances of Ex-Governor Hayward had
he remained in the field, the voters OF
the state may take it for granted that
Mr. Rhett will have to be reckOned
with as a probable winner

MEMORABLE HAILSToRM.

The idea being suggested by the
letter of Mr.. j. L. Strain referring to
the subject, reference has been made
to the files Of The Enquirer to see
what was said about the great hail
storm described by Mr.. Strain. June
II, 1868, the story is told as follows:
On Sunday night, a terrific storm,
accompanied with hail and rain, pass
ed along the western borders OF this
district, following the course of Broad
river. The damage done to crops and
fencing is reported to have been very
heavy. A friend writes to us, that his
farm will not produce the seeds plant
ed upon it. In some places the fences
were lifted up and the rails strewn sew
eral hundred yards away leaving
scarcely a vestige to show where a
fence once stood. The wheat crop, un-
der the track of the storm, is reported
as utterly ruined.
The handsome brick residence of
Mrs. Ann f. Wright, on Broad river,
was struck by the storm, which peel
ed off the roof and carried it over upon
an opposite hill. Several smaller
dwellings are reported as damaged
or blown over, and many barns, sta
bles and other outhouSes.
The storm extended on both sides
of Broad river, and seemed to follow
it's course southwark. It's breadth, and
the full extent Of the damage done in
this and adjoining districts, we have
not been able to learn definitely.

Reports from GreenvilIe, Newberry
and quite a number Of other points In

From people who live along that

corn in the Kings creek bottoms than
there has ever been and it is in better
condition.
Mr. w. T. Long, of Yorkville No 8,
has sent The Enquirer an Irish potato
plant with small potatoes developing
along the stalk. While such plants are
not very uncommon, we are unable to
give the reason.
The White Diamond Lithia Springs
hotel is now open, and extensive ar
rangements are being made to accom-

Mr.. Joseph H. CoItharp Of Fort Mill

the exception of the three years l was

reader of the York paper since 1S4S.
Among the several papers l take, The

Mr.. Robert w. Whitesides Of Smyr-
ma. has been a subscriber to The En-
quirer since 1860. Mr.. Whitesides sub
scribed first when he was "a years of
age, and had the paper to follow him
through the war. The paper has been
in his home since the publication of
the first issue in January, 1855. Mr.
Whitesides is now 72 years old and Ii

IT gives The Enquirer a great deal
of pleasure to comply with the request
of Mr. w. H. Wyie to print the law
OF South Carolina as to cruelty to ami
mails. 1t has been truly and signifi-
cantly said that the "merciful man is
merciful to his beast" and as we see
it, the man who is wilfully unmerciful
to his beast needs the attention of his
fellowmen. OF course, it is very easy
to understand how unmerciful men,
like that negro who recently broke the
laws of a poor mule. for instance, think
that men who interfere with them
have little to do. The well nigh eS-
tabliShed rule in this selfish and wick
ed world. is that people should give
attention only to those things in which
they are personally concerned. This
is a very good rule for those who
would have an easy time of it here;
but if all should live up to it. the sit
uation would soon become most mis-
cradle for everybody. 1t is those who
stand for fair play, justice. mercy and
BILE for others. and as we see it. the
man who proves that he has merciful
consideration for defenseless, dumb
bruteS. will never be called upon to
furnish evidence that he enterta!ns the
kindieSt feelings for his fellows

The r. r. DIS and the Roads.

The Wilkinsville correspondent OF
the Gaffney Ledger writes as follows:
At a public meeting at Glover, in
York county. recently, some sensible
resolutions were agreed upon looking
to the agitation Of the road question.
That old county has always had the
best government of any county in the
state-no doubt about that The roads
in our boasted Cherokee are a dis
grace to the county. though not much
worse now than they have always
been for years gone by. If they could
be used for building purposes. the
oaths sworn between here and Calf
ney, would construct much OF 1t. The
same is doubtless more or. less true OF
all other roads In the country.
