HELP US GET IT RIGHT.
Oar last issue might have left
the impression that we have a
j?rudge against Dr. B. F. Halsey
of Roper. There were two ar
ticles appearing in that issue in
which Dr. Halsey's name should
have appeared, but due to lack
of information received by us it
failed to appear.
Dr. Halsey attended the ban
quet given by Dr. W. H. VVard,
but his name was not mentioned
in the article referring to the oc
casion. Our only excuse is that
it was not on the list given us
by one who did attend the affair
We are sure, however, that his
name was not omitted from the
list intentionally.
The tragedy at Scuppernong
was investigated by ouresteemed
friend, who is coroner of the
county, but we failed to make
note of the coroner's investiga
tion, for the simple reason that
wpro not thoroughly in
formed. '
Editors, as a rule, do not know
it all, and cannot get the
important facts of an evnt by
mental telepathy. And it is ab
solutely necessary that informa
tion be obtained from some
source. It is impossible to chron
icle all things in. a perfect man
ner and get each detail accurate
ly, unless som? person become?
benevolent enough to donate the
essential data concerning the
subject.
Don't cuss the editor simply
because he fails to publish every
thing you have done, unless, of
course, you furnish him with
necessary information relative
to the incident or occasion. ' He
likes to be cussed; it adds variety
to his dull, lethargic life. If you
must cuss him, for heaven's
sake pick out something he
should be cussed for. Back up
and kick yourself if you fail to
find an article in the paper bear
ing upon your personal activities,
and didn't give the paper a
thought until after it was pub
lished. We want to publish anything
you do, of news value, and will
take delight in so doing if you
will only inform us.
