As a sample of the filthiest, dirtiest and most utterly shameful journalism, we are reproducing an editorial which appeared in the Washington Progress of Inst week. Realizing the futileness of its attacks against the Daily News. The Progress turns it? attention t trie Greenville Reflector and publishes the followiug slanderous staf uient against the editor of that paper: "That thing, whatever it is or wherever it ?tays. j which write* rot for the Greenville Reflector, is nothing but a low common meddler into tho affairs of others and is unworthy of notice or the respect of decent people. When The Progress took notice of what it wrote we were under the impression that without know ing the facts or the record of Jim Mavo whom it was defending it had done itself and its an injustice we f?Jt that it was nothing but fair to it to give it an op portunity to correct its error. Now that it is clear that it does not desire to be fair and ha> lent its col umns to a writer of such low and depraved methods. The Progress aj>ologizcs to its readers for replying to it, which was done in good faith, and promises to pay no attention to the prating of such a low base source only when it shall become necessary to do so to protect public interest. Of course this was the method adopted adopted to divert this paper and the public mind from the record of Jim Mayo, which we propose to drop un til he tries to mislead the people again." Seldom, if ever, have we ever seen any article that has cause 1 a more profound s<*nse of disgust than the above. It is a pity that the Progress cannot find something better to do than to make per sonal attacks against its contemporaries. Washington and Beaufort county could realize much benefit through tho space which the Pro gress now uses in denouncing other papers. The editor of that paper, however, does not seem to take that view of the matter. The editorial evidently was not exactly to the liking of the Re flector, for that paper came out tho following day with a short but strongly-word*d paragraph against the Progress. The Reflector' would have done better if it had paid no attention to such muck raking articles as appear from time in the Progress. The Reflector article was as follows: "We should lik" very much to get a look at that phc nomi-nal specimen of supposed humanity that writes slush thai fills the columns of the Washington Prr^ gress. Wo have our own ideas a Wit his origin and we would iike to look at IT to sen if our guess is correct." The Progress blasts of "protecting public interests." All tho ''public intcrr-sts" that tie* Progress has ever protected, could bo written on the hack <>f n postage stamp with half of the stamp torn off. Til K CIRCUS. There is no amusement in the world that probably furnishes more general fun and 'b light than the circus. Young and old, from the time the first bill 1?. ard appears on the streets, eagerly await the arrival of flic big event and long after if has passrd, it remain? with them as a most pleasant recollection. Older people enjoy the circus ns much?if not more than the youngster*. It isn't the events and hundreds of attraction* that appeal to them so much an it ih the general atmtmpherc and siir-, rounding* of days g<.ne by. It reminds ihein of their liovhood and youth. It is of leu surprising to see some xtat*)v ?|,| gentleman? passing through the circus grounds with a highly dignified air. lie may lie some high official or prominent citizen. and one cannot help but wonder what he can find to attract him to a circus. Hut 'wav down deep?under that coat of dignity and pride tin re is prob ably just as much ''boy" in thai man as there it* in the moat tawdv headed youngster thai plays One O" Cat in the back-lots of the eitv. Then again you will prolmhly see some elderly man. leading a eh i id along by the hand. You immediately surmise that he is at the eircn? in order to show his child tho sights. Sev'ii times out of ten, however, you would probably l>e wrong, ami if you h*?k the trouble to inquire into mattors, yon would, in all likplilmod. find that the child was borrowed from some neighbor in order to furnish an excuse for our "elderly gentleman's" presence at the circus. When the circus cornea to Washington Fridry, and you sec *.tn< of our highly respected and most dignified citizens throwing pencil!* at the elephants and laftghing them sel ve? sick over the clowns' antics, don't think that they have gone into their second childhood;?thev are there for the purpose of bringing back some of the recollection* of days long gone by and to join in the fun with the young boy* find girls again. It's a great thing?it t circus. ENDURANCE Is one of the biggest factor* in modern warfare.
