Excerpt from My Debut in Journalism and Other Odd Happenings "If you will come over and see Ferguson right away, " wrote my friend, the managing editor of The Plantation Harbinger, "I think you can obtain the position of local editor. Charlie Hurd has lit out." Ferguson was the proprietor of The Harbinger, and I was an ambitious telegraph operator eager to enter the journalistic field, so I went in pursuit of him. I met Hurd on my way over, and asked him what was the trouble, and where he was going. "On the Boston Globe, " he answered. "Ferguson does not pay his help." "Why, " returned I, "his managing editor, Mr. Pickett, has just written me a note asking me to go and see Ferguson about the situation you have vacated. He said nothing about bad pay, simply stating that you had 'lit out.'" "Pickett is in the ring, " observed Hurd, significantly, and he hastened in the direction of the Boston depot.
