to our mind, is the history of the

thirty years ago, until to-day. If

The JSTow York Journal is publish
ing long winded opinions from all
sorts of folks on the race question.
Some of the articles are good, more
are indifferent, and more still are
bosh. The negro question is the
only question that every Northern
man thinks he can solve until he
eomeijboutlu .And then he becomes
a pessimist. It is the most difficult
question of solution with which any
people have grappled. The Colum
bia State; after reviewing some of
the contributions in the Journal's
articles, sums up tiie whole matter
in these few sentences:
"The salvation of a race must be
accomplished " in the home. The
mothe;,is' the maker of the home
She sets its standards of morality, of
righteousness and of religion, and
above that standard the race will
not rise. Then to elevate the race
its mothers must be elevated. If
the negro race is to be educated, the
work must begin with the negro
woman. - If the negro race is to be
moralized, the negro woman must
be made-moral. If the negro race
is to be, made religious, the negro
woman must be converted to a sin
cere, correct understanding of Chris
tianity. "That tli is is theoretically correct
none will deny. But that the task
is easy few will assert. Yet if it be
impossible, then there is no hope for
the negro."

The North Carolina Editor.
To begin with, what would any
town worthy the name be without a
newspaper and the factotum of a man
who runs it often more for accom
modation than for the dollars and
cents realized from its conduction?
Echo answers, What?
As an individual who has had some
experience 1 state it, and with firm
belief that the most important man
in any town is the cussed and muchly
discussed newspaper editor. If he
runs a nondescript, battered, blur
red aud blotched excuse for a paper
my proposition still holds good for
all that, I do not even excuse the
minister, the doctor the banker. To
be sure these men are prime essen
tials but the newspaper man is not
only an essential; in these days, he
is a necessity a kind of "sine qua
non" kind of go-lucky, hail fellow
well met individual.
It has always been strange to me
it is to-day why a newspaper editor
is expected to use his time, his press
his type in short put everything in
himself and in his shop, at the dis
posal of the men of every attire,
class and piofession, oftentimes, not
only not receiving any cash emolu
ments, but more often not so much
as a hearty ''thank you." 1 say, the
strange part of it to me is why should
an editor as a business man be
expected to give of what he is and
has, wlien every other business is not
out for such fun, but for the ubi
quitous dollar? Is it his fault? or,
if not whose is it? I have my opin-'
ion but I prefer some one else to
give an expression of the truth.
All is not shadow in a newspaper
man's life, for does he not have the
glorious privilege for riding, at his
own sweet will, on a piece of card
board, otherwise sometimes called a
pass. Bat alas ! this does not run
Ins business, or add much to the fi
nancial end of his business; but
','miracle dictu !" for all this and all
this, he manages to be more cussed
and discussed than any man in town,
and as for living well, he manages
to exist from one issue to another.
Let me whisper this into the ear
of the reading public at large: Bar
ring a few a very few theie is no
more solid, loyal, progressive citizen
in any town than the fellow who gets
out a newspaper. Paste this in your
hat, and when you are disposed to
fall out with him because lie does
not conduct his paper so well as you
would, take olf your hat and read
and ruminate. O it is the plain
home-made unvarnished truth. I
can prove it by several hundreds of
unpaid fellows of the craft, who
ought to thank me for telling the
truth on them.
To the North Carolina editors as
a class, aud a whole I lift my hai.
A more loyal, sturdy, nervy, prog
ressive set of fellows are not harbored
within the confines of this good
State. Wm, M. Sherrill in Green

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Mb. Editor : I see in the la6t number
of the Beacon that some one has suggested
thu name of J. E. bingleton to fill the place
of Jat. A. Chesson, deceased. I would 6ay
that I think S. li. Johnston is the man, aud
ought to be the mau to fill the vacancy .
Ha is competent as a business mau and I
have no doubt Le will give perfect satis
faction, lie was bora and raised in the
county of Washiugton. He has always
vottd the Democratic ticket and worked
tor the cause of the party.
The second reason is, when the civil war
broke between the South aud North he was
one to throw his breast to the enemy to
defend the Sunny South, aud if any one is
to be honored it ought to be an old South
ern soldier. I believe we ought to do all
we can to strengthen the Democratic party.
As our brother soldier has been takeu
away from us and his place has got to be
filled, let it be with a Southern soldier.
Jas. A. Chesson and S. 13. Jobuston were
with me iu the army, who bore the heat
aud burden of the war. It will not only be
satisfactory to the Democratic party, but
to our enemies on the other bide. lie is a
mau that fctands high in his township. All
speak well of him. A Friend.

Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901.
Gentlemen .- Being: entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five yea'rs ago mv right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, tantil I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment fbr catarrh, for three months, -without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent car specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing iu the affected ear would be lost forever." . -
I then- saw vour advertisement accidentally iu aXcw York paper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-dajr, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily aud beg to remain Very truly vours.
