The Country Editor.
Ills WORK AND PATIENCE.
Makes and Fashions Things.
The country editor does not
have to put his sign manual in
shoe-peg type to ponderous
double-measure utterance, top
of column next to pure reading
matter, nor does he find it nec
essary to jam into the midst of
editorial weightness of reprint
of his erudite face as an Affida
vit of authorship, wisdom and
good looks. In a business-like,
practical way he catches up the
thread of life, and with fingers
deft (although often a bit numb
at times from long picking at
the letter boxes in the case),
unravels the kinks, feeds the
bobbin and speeds the shuttle.
He does not regard himself as
the author and finisher of the
whole fabric. Concious, how-1
ever that he is an important I
factor, he does his part, and;
there the honor rests. JTe ■
knows that he is not the Whole J
Thing, and in this he is wise.
But in this wisdom there lurks
the weakness pointed out in the
foregoing. In his poverty (most
country editors are poor) and in
his circumscribed sphere, he
half-way suspects at times that;
The Whole Thing is in keeping
of politicians in high station
and their daily organs This
temptation comes to him at
times, robs him of his own
proper power, not mindful that
with gaffs 011 his heels the dev
il rides doubt, caparisoned with
the trappings of death, through
the soul of man. While in a
state of uncertainty the country
editor yields his province, and
at the drum tap falls in line and
keeps step to the organ grind.
The world's great minds have
come from rural environments.
Psychologists have not yet un
raveled the whole of the myste
rious relation between mind
and matter, but experience
teaches that the co-existent
state is mutually dependent;
that a vigorous mind needs a
healthy body, and that the two
come nearest to perfection when
grounded in soil nearest to na
ture's God. The farm and the
forest have been the nursery of
American statesmen. The
country editor has been the wise
counselor and s'ife mentor of
young minds which later kept
listening senates waiting on
their words. His mission has
not ended —his task has just
begun, unless the hothouse
growth for striplings about the
greater cities has become more
virile and less tender and sap
py—usually succulent bits for
satan, There is, as yet, no evi
dence of a change in this well
established rule.
There is an inviting field for
statesmanship to-day, and the
problems of the future will be
no less serious. The country

How the Slaves Went South.
;
The Boston Gazette, publish- j
ed in old Massachusetts, and I
dated July 17, 1758, contains;
the following advertisement:
"Just imported from Africa,
and to be sold on board the brig
Johney, William Ellery, com
mander. now lying at bos
ton, a number of likely negro
boys and girls, from twelve to
fourteen years of age. Inquire
of said Ellery on board said
ln-if* where constant attention
is given. Note—the above
slaves have all had the small
pox. Treasurer's notes and New
England rum will be taken as
pay."
There is a good text for a long
sermon, but the subject requires
but few words. Massachusetts,
now so piously hostile to slav
ery, was, at that date and for
half a century later, the great
slave trader of the Western
Hemisphere-Indianapolis Sen
tinel.
Says He Was Tortured

corns I could hardly walk,"
writes H. Robinson, Hillsbor

Great Division in Savannah.
Savannah is wrought up over
the S:un Jones question. The
evangelist will arrive Monday
to begin his crusade against
vice and to remove the city fur
ther than a half mile from hell
—the distance he declares is
now separating the two places.
Savannah is divided in senti
ment and feeling is deep. Mauy
are incensed against Mr. Jones
for his utterance at Waycross
and the Elks have adopted res
olutions touching the insults he
heaped upon them. The world
ly element is re-enforced by a
great many who feel that the
cause of religion is not advanc
ed l>y Jones' methods. The
churches are arrayed for and
against the evan r "iist and the
Ministerial Association, usually
harmonious, has »u flared a de
cided division. One of the Bap
tist churches, one of the Pres
byterian churches and the Luth
eran churches tfre holding aloof,
and more general praise is heard
for their position than for the
other side. Bitter communica
tions and denunciations have
appeared in the local papers,
and pamphlets against Sam
Jones are being issued. A great
tabernacle is being constructed
in the Park extension, permis
sion having been given the Min
isterial Association by the city
council to erect the building and
hold services there. So pro
nounced is the feeling against
Mr. Jones now, however, that
some of the aldermen are sorry
they ever granted the privilege.
One of them declared today that
had he known before the reports
from Waycross just what lan
guage Jones is capable of using
and of the insults he can show
er upon defenseless and inno
cent women, the Park extension
would never have been turned
over to the petitioners. The
alderman wields influence in
the council and his expression
may be taken as authority in
such a matter. —Atlanta Consti
tution.

Building Towns.
Here are what build up and
support a town in these days.
A circular just issued by the
Chamber of Commerce of Char
lotte giving information of that
o o
city's industrial enterprise as
well as other things mentions :
Charlotte has a population of
27,000.
"There are fifteen cotton mills
located in Charlotte and knit
ting factories consuming 32,000
bales of cotton annually.
"The oil mills' capacity is
43,000 tons annually.
"The pants factories have an
output of 1,070,000 pairs of
pants annually.
"There are seventy manufact
uring plants, representing an
investment of $3,000,000. To
tal value of product, $5,700,000.
"The annual wages paid out
by these manufacturing indus
tries amount to $1,000,000.
"Products of manufacturing
plants : Grey cloths, ginghams,
hosiery, towels, sash cords,
hammocks, backhands, batting
and fadding hosiery yarns,
cotton oil, cotton meal, fertiliz
ers, pants, flour, ice, saddles,
harness, bed springs, belting,
rubber tires, printing blank
books, showcases, caskets, ci
gars, etc., engines, boilers and
all kinds of iron and wood
work."
It is a pleasure to note such
development at any point with
in the State.
Other towns and cities, by
the exercise of the same push
and liberality, can achieve suc
cess also, and in so doing help
the country surrounding as well
as the immediate locality. The
whole secret of this success is
the diversity of application—of
euergy and capital. This prin
ciple applies alike to the indus
trial and the agricultural
world—the more generally ap
plied in either the greater the
prosperity; and corresponding
ly greater when united in close
proximity.
We have only to look upon
those communities in the State
wherein are located industrial
plants to find not only a healthy
growth, but also to find a more
prosperous farming community
surrounding. And the larger
development of industrial en
terprise the greater the general
l prosperity.

New York, May 9.—Wild excitement
fleveloped in W all street by the seconl
| hour of trading on the Stock Exchange
! to-day. The violence of the com mo -
| tion had spent much of .ts force at
least for the time being when the chair
man's gavel fell, announcing the closo
of the day's proceedings. The casual
; ties were great and the iicld of battle
was strewn with the wounded and may
be with the dying. But of actual fa
, tulities none was recorded of import
i ante during the day. During the
height of the panic rumors of insolven
cies were bandied about more quickly
than they could be reported. But na
confirmation could be had of the inti.
roations of financial wreck. Those
against whom the rumors pointed re
fused even to show any s.gn vf dis
tress and professed themselves ready
to meet all obligations.
In mora than one instance the an
swer to these rumors was for a repre
sentative of the house to go upon tha
Stock Exchange and place loans to a
large amount, as indicating the abund
ance of resources at hand but not
withstanding these and similar devices
for keeping up credit and confidence,
the fact was too obvious f.om the
crash of values on the exchange that
credits ar.d borrowing powers were
shrinking at too prodigious a rate not
tr» leave the mind of the whole financial
world in a condition of intense strain.
But the indications at the close of the
day were strong that the principal
damage had been wrought upon the
speculative class or upon holders of se
curities on margin for whatever pur
pose. The banks have been so well
protected by recent extensions of the
margins exacted in the market value of
collateral over the amount of loans
placed that they l.ad little to fear short
Of an absolute wiping out of market
values,
MONEY AT CO PER CENT.
The shrinkage of collateral made it
necessary for the banks in many cases
to exact additional collateral during
the day, and this added much to the
distress for a time. But in the late
dealings the principal banks in the
financial district agreed to form a pool
and i-Kise a fund to loan tha money
rate down to 6 per cent, on the Stock
Exchange. The bid for money had
been run up to 60 per cent, and was
threatening to keep alive the panic.
The dozen banks quickly came to an
agreement to raise $16,003,000 with im
plied willingness to increase the suni
if necessary. There were very heavy
loans placed also by individual banks,
ranging in some cases to $25,000,000 and
$30,000,000.
Through the early part of the day
brokers exacted the market rate for
loans. But with the growing need
TO SUPPRESS THE PANIC
they offered the rate down to 6 psi
cent. Old customers of the banks were
not charged over 6 per cent, at any
time, but when outsiders came in ask
ing for new loans, the law of supply
and demand was allowed to run its
force.
The state of excitement was v.ery
apparent all through the financial dis
trict during the period of the panic,
but there were few sensational scenes
Now and then a white-faced woman
would peer from a cab outside a
broker's office and would be driven ofl
In a fainting condition after receiving
a message from the interior. Wherever
any near approach could be made tc
a ticker or to a board on which quota
tions were posted, there were great
throngs of excited spectators scram
bling for a view of the course of the
market. But the real stress of the
occasion came upon men who were i
3hut up in either their private offices
Dr those of brokers, or who were strug
gling and even fighting on the floor ol
the exchange. The outside country
could obtain little idea of the actual
occurrences on the exchange, as the
brokers are remote from the public
galleries in their temporary quarters

3hut off from view by the sixteen-foot
wall. In the brokers' offices sat many

REDUCED TO ABSOLUTE RUIN
is a result of fifteen minutes' proceed
ings on the Stock Exchange.
Some of these had been made opulent
within a few weeks past as a result of
the unparalleled rise of prices. With
the true gambling spirit they have re
placed all their winnings in new ven
tures on each successful turn. To-day's
drop, therefore, wiped them all out. In
many cases one could see the gam
blers' fortitude with which the chances
of eain were accepted. But the glit
tering attraction of this market has
brought into it a constantly Increasing
assortment of more staid and inexperi
enced speculators; men and women
who have brought long standing hord is
from secret places and from savings
bank deposits with the determination
to make one successful stroke and ther.
retire with the proceeds. The demon
strations from this class, which in
cludes many women speculators, fur
nished the hysterical scenes and sen
sations of the day.
All classes of employees in the Stock
Exchange district were under tremen
dous pressure throughout the day. Th
Impression produced by contact with
these was due to their coolness and !
nerve under the most trying and excit- !
Ing c.rcumstances. Brokers, messengei
boys, telegraph boys, clerks and the
like have learned during the last few !
weeks to waste little time in demon
strations. They do things in the j
quickest and shortest manner, and so
made things go smoothly to-day at a j
period when lack of coolness might
have meant disaster to many per
sons.
THE CORNER IN NORTHERN PA- |
CIFIC STI UNBROKEN.
There was a strong feeling this morn
ing before proceedings had commence']
on the Stock Exchange that a panic
could be averted only by the strongest i
measures and with the greatest diffi- !
culties. The fact was apparent thai
the corner in Northern Pacific was still
unbroken. The excited bidding last
night to secure the stock for delivery
to-day made that very apparent. The
first efforts to avert the panic were
ijevoted to circulating reports that the
conferences between the contending
Interests in Northern Pacific, which j
continued in one form or anothei
throughout the night, had resulted in £
Minpromise, which would free th«
