The EDITORS PROBLEM.

The editor of the Greensboro Herald Jour
nal is a man with heart. He says in his ex-
cellent paper;
1t is the province of newspaper to
publish legitimate accounts of all kinds
of events. If the editor of newspaper
has good and sufficient reason to leave
out of his newspaper anything that he
believes will bring humiliation and sor-
row to the relatives of unfortunate
creature who may err, why, the editor
has perfect right to do SO. 1t is the edi-
tors privilege to omit or publish any
thing in his newspaper that he deems
best and proper An experienced journal
ist once said that the problem OF an edi-
tor was not so much what he might
print but what he should not publish.
Almost every week there is omitted
from the columns of The News an account
of some occurrence that would be read with
absorbing interest. 1t is and always has been
the policy of this newspaper not to add to the
burdens of the unfortunate and the sorrow OF
the innocent We cannot indulge in ghoulish
g1ee over the sad plight of fellow mortals.

The Savannah Press observes that the
rev Judge of the Pataula circuit was at

Company in Dawson county" which county

in southwest Georgia" AS a matter of fact
there is a distance of $50 miles between Daw-
son county and the abode of Judge Yeomans
for the past Is years, and he was division
counsel, embracing a number of counties, for
the Central railroad. There is not railroad
of any kind in Dawson county. Our con-
temporary is correct however, when it says
che will make a good Judge"

 Senator Bonner. before voting against a favorable report, stated that he had grown sick and tired of senatorial courtesy and that he fla Nored the adoption of a resolution by the senate giving all senators the right to vote their convictions on local bills. He said he had seen bills go through the senate because the counties they affected were repre- scented by senators who favored the measures, although the judgment of a majority of the senators was op- posed to the passage of the bills
 Senator BrOWer'S bill was ad- versed by the committee and the ad- verse report was made 10 the senate Thursday.
