There are many ways 81 fixing a mis-

mitted ii. Ii Is commonly thought that
lawyers and not cIerSymen are the mo
most competent for this practice, b.
the following story leaves one feeling
that the honors may be equal:
Last Sunday" said the clergyman to
his congregation, "some one put a but
ton in the collection has. won't men
ton names. will merely say that only
one individual in the congregation could
have done SO. and shall expect the same
member after the service TO replace the

not understand how you should have

take"
II didn't know" replied the clergy
man.

only one individual in the congregation

just so. You see, sir, it is scarcely
possible that two individuals could have
put one button in the bag. Is it, now"
asked the clergyman with bland smile

Not an I'm meHse Fortune.

Those who have been speculating
about the immense fortune that will
inure TO the inventor of the Harvey proc
ess or treating armor plate will be some
what surprised to learn that his profits
from the United States government will
will fall considerably below 800, 900. 1t
has been generally supposed that he
would make millions out of his inven-
ton.
According to the contract made with
Mr.. Harvey by Mr.. Tracy and reaffirmed
by Secretary Herbert, the amount Of
royalty to be paid Ms. Harvey for the
right to decarbonate armor plates by his
method of treatment is fixed at one half
cent per pound. The total amount of
armor contracted for by the navy do
partment for the new ships is about 49,
900 tons. Less than half Of this armor
will be Harveyizei. Even if 10000 tons
should be so treated the inventor would
receive only 500, 000-a very neat little
sum, to be sure, but nothing hike what
the general public has been led TO believe
he would receive.
The inTeution NAY of course prove
more valuable through its adoption by
some VI the foreign powers, but this Is
not anticipated w ashington Post.

Of the men have been placed ON bicycles,
with orders to thoroughly patrol North
ampton street from point below Em-

settled, and the houses include large
number of costly residences. The usual
assignment has been one man to each Of

Is SAMPSON TO HAVE A FAIR?

This question is being agitated
among the people just now, and as
the time has arrived for some action
to be taken in regard to the matter,
we hope the question will be answer
ed affirmatively in the near future.
Sampson stands among the fore
most counties of the State, and there
is no doubt that the energy and en-
terprise displayed by the people of
Sampson in having good fairs has
added very much to her reputation
and Importance as a county. The
people of one state, or county, Judge
the people of another state or county
very largely by the interest and
pride they take in public affairs A.;
and if Sampson must keep her place
among the banner counties of the
state, our people must come TO-
gether and sustain her already en-
viable reputation by making the fair
the grandest success in the history
of the society.
Besides being an object lesson for
others, FAIR would, no doubt, be
very beneficial to the county, as a
whole. Hard times doesn't argue
that the farmers should be deprived
of few days of pleasant recreation
We are glad to say that the business
men of Clinton not only speak IA
vorably of having a fair, but are
willing to give literally of their
means to help make 1t success
But while this is true, let the farm.
ers bear in mind that it is an Agri.
cultural Society, and that without
their cooperation and persona,
efforts it can not be a success. Lei
the people lay aside any prejudice:
or partisan feelings that may exist
and demand that Sampson have {
fair; and then go about it in an IN
selfish spirit, as heretofore, and thu
fair would be a success and no ont
would have cause to regret any effor
put forth. "In unity there il
strength" In concerted action ther,
is success. The readers of III
CAUCASIAN will know next weel
what decision has been reached, il
the mean time, concerning this mat
ter.
