HE GREENSBORO p
TRIOT'S ERRORS.

That great and perfect journal,
the Greensboro Patriot says: AN
Other ugly feature about Judge
Womack's candidacy IS the fact
that when our county convention
met here last Saturday to select de-
legates to tie Judicial convention,
each chair had placed on it copyof
THE DURHAM RECORDER, that was
an advertisement Of Judge Wom-
ack.
I Now, we would like for the saint
ed editor Of the Patriot to tell the
public what was ugly about that.
I've as an individual, as a warm ad-
mirer Of Judge Womack, published
extracts from the papers in various
parts Of the State complimentary to
Judge Womack, 50 as to let the peo-
pie know in what esteem be was
held BY the peoplein every section.
They were not from papers mostly
inside Of the district specially but
from all where he had held court.
This same sainted brother says.
we quoted an article from the
Greensboro Patriot written By Mr.
]. Royal Kerr, temporary editor "
the Patriot. In point IF fact the
Patriot says he was neyertemporary
editor, althoughin the absence Of the
editors, without authority wrote the
editorial copied in The REcRRDER.
Now If man writes editorials for a
short time, is he not temporary cdr
tor: We do not 20 to the trouble
to enqaire if he has his credentials
sealed and delivered authorizing
him that he must write editorials.
We did not see the subsequent is
sue of the Patriot.
| He further says: An Amusing cir
lcumstance anent fHg DURHAM
lRgooRDERs jealous advocacy Of
Judge Womack's cause Is this.
THE delegation from its own coun-
lty was instructed the other day h
least their votes for Winston for
Nudge. This is not true. There
was no instruction from the conyen-
ltiJn. The delegates we're left free
to vote as they pleased. When they
left Durham there we're two fol

camera series of consecutive pictures, the
exposure for each of which was not more
the 250th part Of a second These pictures fol
lowed each other at the rate Of from eight 70
twenty q second, the principle being that Of
taking the views in a perfectly dark room
the exposure being effected by means of an
electric flash.
After many discouraging failures Mr.
Edison was at last successful His idea was
that speaker might be photographed from
eight to twenty times a second during his en-
tire speech, while at the same time the phono.
graph was recording the spoken address. The
monograph and the mechanism of the camera
were 50 connected that when the reproduction
took place, both spoken words and the photo
graphic pictures would continue synchro
nously together, and that when the photo
graphs were thrown on a screen, by means Of
stereopticon, the rapid recurrence of the
pictures would be such that the effect would
be a continuous one, and as the phonograpt
reproduced the address, the gestures and the
facial expression would appear to be that Of
the living speaker.
The experiments were completely success
full, and Mr. Edison now has in his laboratory
large number of these dual reproductions.
As yet there does not seem to be any practi
cal commercial value to the invention. New

A GOOD sirn.

One Of the surest evidences Of prog
ress visible is the appearance of daily
papers in Che large towns of the
State. A community may be pros
porous, its resources may be vast, its
hopes may be ardent, but there is
lacking the exhilaration of embryo
metropolitanism until the first daily
newspaper is born. The sheet may
be modest, indeed, well nigh money
less, but its career will, even at its
dawn, be marked by accompanying
signs Of confident independence and
progressive movement on the part OF
those who con its columns.
The Herald congratulates Jackson,
Bristol, GAINESVILLE and Morristown
upon the dailies which have been es-
tablished at those places. The pub
LEGATIONS are notably plucky and
bright, and each is doing a good
work for its town. The editors are
demonstrating that they realize that
a newspaper can be a perpetual and
practical blessing to the community
in which it is located. Loyalty to
the interests of the public, an alert

but they are necessary in this day II
paper is to have really useful ex-
istence.
The paper that strives to identify
itself with the wants of its readers,
to protect their material interests,
that resists temptations to desert the
public and serve private concerns,
that has the judgment to cultivate
local pride and feed it with genuine
achievements - such a paper will
prove blessing to the town or city
where it is located. The Herald notes
with strong satisfaction that these
fresh acquisitions to the ranks of
Tennessee journalism are working
on the right line. They are abreast
with the times; we give them the
right hand Of fellowship and bid
them speed on their worthy caIeer.

A Snake Rock,

There is a rock in a lot near William Van
Fleets farmhouse, at Mays Clearing, which
becomes an object of general interest as spring
approaches. 1t is a fissured rock about twelve
feet long and rising three feet above the sur
face The assures are perpendicular, and evil
IDENTIFY lead down the rock as far as it goes be-
meath the ground. The rock is not more than
ten rods from Van Fleets house, and the same
distance from the public road. For twenty
years or more it has been known as the snake
rock. In April 1870, man who worked for
Van Fleet was passing close to the big stone,
when he saw a snake coming slowly out Of one
of the crevices. 1t was what is known as the
milk snake. While the man was watching
the snake other snakes began to appear at
different crevices until he counted forty.
There were black snakes, blowing adders and
common striped snakes. The hired man went
back to the house and got Van Fleet, and the
two remained by the rock until they had
killed 200 snakes.
All through that month snakes kept com.
ing out of the rock and over 500 were killed,
How many got away was not known, but
there must have been quite a number, for the
next spring the rock yielded just as many
more that had gone there to hibernate and
winter over. The snake bearing rock became
locally famous in time, and for years. as soon
as the weather begins to get warm in the
spring, farmers and others come to Van
Fleets lot from miles around to see the snakes
come out, and to have a hand in killing them
The rock has never failed to give up hun
dreds of snakes every spring, and the curious
part of it is no one has ever yet been able to
discover any going into the rock in the fall,
although it has been closely watched. When
and how the great collection of snakes gets
into the winter quarters in Van Fleets rock
is a mystery yet to be solved. 1t is supposed
the serpents slip in at night when no one is
watching. New York Sun.

What would our grandmothers have said
could they have glanced down the years and
have seen the newspaper woman of today as
she whisks her petticoats through the office,
past the reporters desks, pokes her little nose
into the chiefs sanctum, has the audacity to
give him ideas and tell him generally how to
run his journal9 Nay, more she ransacks
jails, reformatories and lunatic asylums; she
rides on engines and ambulances; she puts a
circle round the globe, and one of these days
i doubt not some enterprising feminine jour
nalist will start on search for the North
pole She will find it too and hang her best
Sunday bonnet on top Of it.

experience, change and excitement. No stag

ployment, one round of vicissitude One
