IF ALL PEOPLE WERE LIKE THE COUNTRY EDITOR WHAT A COUNTRY THIS WOULD BE A tribute to the country, editor was recently paid by President Chessnut, of the Texas Press As sociation, and published in several Texas papers, as follows: ? 4 In peace or war, in prosperity or adversity, the conscience of the country press is the bulwark of the nation, and to the country editor ' I give the praise. "He is the life of our conven tion and the joy of our existence. "May he and his tribe live for ever and may his spirit of optimism blossopi into perpetual youth. "As long as the country editor lives we know that all of us may enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, for he is the watch dog of our virtues, the bull ele phant iu the protection of the American how "May tiod bless him and love him to dra !0' "Thai's saying it in llic language that the country editor talks. "That semi-serious, semi-humor ous tone is right in tunc with the mood in which the country editor laces the problems of each recur ring week. "But the job he works at is one of the most serious and one of the most important in the whole scheme of things. ?. "(Jo into any community that is engaged in this common task df trying to live together and you will find him the most forward looking citizen in the town. "He is the town prophet, the seer of vision and dreamer of dreams the inspirer of the town leaders, the strengthener of the weak, the thorn in the flesh of the town knockers. "Without ceasing lie says to his people: Tear not, little flock, onlj have faith.' "With wrath and indignation he denounced the doubters; \0 ye ot little faith!' "For above all he is a man of faith? faith in his fellows, faith in his country, faith in his state, faith in his community. "And such faith he has in his community. "There' is not a big city in the United States that was not *mce only the dream of a country editor. ''There is not a great industrial center which today pushes its tow ers toward heaven and blackens the blue sky with the smoke of its factories which is not the magnifi cent validation of what was once merely the 'evidence of things un seen' in the vision of some country editor. "Wherever the country editor dwells there is at least one citizen who has his face to the rising sun. "And to the degreT* that his fel low-citizens catch something of his vision and become imbued with something of his enthusiasm, to that degree is there progress. - "And yet he seldom owns mush of the town lor which he labors, for he 'seeketh not his own.' "He labors for other men and for the coming generations: for that's the way he is built. ' ' He joys in other men 's pros perity and proclaims it to the world with rejoicing. "For his own he cares little ? a crust and a roof and and old suit ot clothes for himself ? and with the hope of a better lot for his children. ? these suffice." PROM REV. V. B. HARRISON To Whom It May. Concern: It is, perhaps, a most foolish tiling for any man to endeavor to straight en out crooked tales and to cor rect false rumors. Hcwever the time comes when a man is morally bound to defend ^others if not him self. That time with me has come and I will set forth some facts re garding crrtain matters that the public may know the wholo truth Re garding the matter. On September Gth about eight o'clock in the morning I was asked by our welfare officer, Mr. T. B. Cowan and Mr. A. S. Moss to take my Ford and carry them up Little" Savannah creek in pursuit of some young people who were said to be disorderly and ought to be taken into c*stody. I went with them and gladly, would do the same thing again today if circumstances de manded it. While on our way we made certain discoveries, which brought to light some things of a most embarassing nature. We found it necessary under the circum stances to carry the young lady con cerned in the matter, before the County Juvenile Judge. Two young men who were connected With the case were too old to be dealt with by this C art and- they were not molest ed by the welfare officer. When Judge Hervson questioned the young lady concerning her con duct, to our utter astonishment, she disclosed the fact that several of our Webster boys of good homes and average families were guilty of the same kind of disorderly conduct with the young lady as the young men who had carried her up Little Savannah creek on that eventful morning. Now what was to be done? Certain officials seemed weak-kneed. Somebody said that we were in dan. ger oY sending .the sons of good families to the pen for two years. Camplctely disgusted I answered that we could get along without tlicni for that length of time. I have never been able to step so ftyr aside from Christian principles as to hald one man rcs]K>ilsible for his crimes and uphold another in his crimes. I can not call a fallen woman bad and an immoral man good. It is all one and the same thing to me except that the greater advantages one en joys makes the obligation to keep clean all the heavier and accordingly the crime is worse. However I was not the prosecutor in the case and certainly not a per secutor. I was in ho sense to be blamed for a single one of the men becoming involved in the difficulty I confess that I did not feel alike toward all. j Some of them I knew to be hardened in the school of im morality while I could hope at least that othens among those involved were but beginners in the business and should be shown more consider ation. But after all it was no affair of mine personally and I took no further stock in the matter. I did not attend court to see the cases tried, however it is reported that nothing was done with these offend ers who paid up the costs in the case and were acquitted. The general opinion as expressed on the street cor ners is however, that if these of ienders had belonged to other fami lies they would certainly have gone to the chain gang. I hesitate long enough to say that this is current opinion and I am not responsible for it. It is now being reported that ' I have been in sore straits over this matter. Some 'are telling that two of our prominent Webster citizens bluffed me out of .my intentions in the matter. Of course such false hood as that is not worth denying.We as that is not worth denying and wcl leave it alone. It is also reportecpj that Mr. Joe Davis became furious over the matter and drove the writer away from his home. In an swer to this rumor, I simply state that I have not been to the home of Brother Davis for some time. How ever I have talked with him recent ly and he acts and talks like the cool headed and gentlemanly citizen which we have ever found him to be. 1 had hoped that all concerned would be content with what publicity had been given the matter and I re gret very much to be virtually forced to clear up this matter in the public mind. Concerning my attitude in the future I have but this to say. I shall stand lour square against all such immoral conduct and without respect of persons, and by so doing I will perform a part of the duty I owe "TO MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. VAN B.

MOORE, Commissioner. o SIXTH ALEXANDER REUNION AT LITTLE RIVER I am sure that quite a number of Alexanders and friends have been anxiously watching the columns in the paper to find the minutes of the sixth Alexander Reunion, which was held September 15, 1923. Hon E. F. Watson, the speaker of the day, was to send me his Excellent speecli which was to be printed with the minutes. For some reason, his speech has not reached me. Since this de lay. As soon as his speech reaches me I shall put it in the paper. Those who were fortunate enough to hear Hon. E. F. Watson's speech, I believe, will agree with me when I say that he put thought, elegance, and oratory in his speech. Hon. E. F. Watson is a gAndson of Daniel Alexander^who was the first Alexan der to settle in Little River. It was decided by the Alexanders present to move the Little River church near the cemetery. The church is to be made much larger so that it wiM accommodate the people during a reunion. The building com mittee is planning at least a $3,000 building. The fund for this build ing is to be donated by the entire Alexander connection. If you are related to the Alexanders either by consanguinity or affinity and could'' sec what has been done for the cemetery and what should be done for the church, I am sure that you would contribute liberally to this fund.Please send your name, address and the amount that you wish to give to this fund to D. V. Alexander, Tamassce, S. C. Remember, you serve God's cause as well as man's when }ou contribute to this fund. Two acres as well of land has been given and $300.00 subscribed to this fund. Don't hesitate but send in the amount that you will f,'ivc so that the building committee can begin at once.\ D. V. ALEXANDER, Sec. n ENTRY NOTICE North Carolina. Jackson County*, We, O. L.
