This species of sin is the greatest of
all curses; it is really the progenitor of
them all. The press of North Caro
lina, as a unit, is making strong daily
and weekly effort to break this chain
that binds us; and makes true, horrible
as the picture appears, the utterances
in the lecture, "The Forgotten Man."
The press will hold him up, though in
so doing it may be to many as a fear
ful nightmare. The newspapers are
doing a work in this respect, advocat
ing the education of the masses, that
stands for humanity and God. I read
nearly all the State dailies; a number
of weeklies, and there is not one of
them I would exchange for any
Northern paper, so largely filled with
sensationalism and rot. Of course our
editors do not all see alike on every
question; neither do the preachers. If
either class did there would be no fun
in journalism or the ministry. Not
that fun is an absolute necessity to
either, but without it things would get
pr.-sj ; and, besides,
"A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the best of men"
and women.
