TYPE WRITER'S.
Opinions About Them Dictated to One
of Them by n >tenographer.


More trash and nonsense are written
about typewriter girls by people who do
not understand what good typewriting is
or how To dictate to a typewriter than
about any other profession or any other
business in which either men or women are
engaged to-day. The fact OF the matter Is
that typewriting is worth anywhere from
$ week up TO $50 or 81. which is some
times paid as a weekly salary 10 expert
typewriters who have no knowledge OF
shorthand. II is no unusual thing for
typewriters Ia earn at folio work from
dictation by stenographers s. an hour and
over. and the finest experts are worth
every cent Of that amount of money.
Among stenOgraphers 81 an hour Is the
ruling rate. and for that 81 a good type
writer with an expert dictator will tran
scribe from thirty To forty folos an hour
of testimony. In some cases even forty
folos an hour OF solid matter have been
dictated. Forty folios is two columns Of
the sun; and OF the men who write about
debating 10 typewriters AZ though they
knew about il. there are probably not half
a dozen in the country who can dictate So
much.
Many years ago. the writer was en-
ployed as shorthand amanuensis by
George Alfred Townsend, well known AZ
Cath" who habitually dictated to him
in shorthand two columns an hour. ana
did IL every day in the week two hours
a day for months at time, Indicating
every full stop. semi-colOn. quotation
mark. and paragraph. II Cath die
tates to typewriter now and has one
of the best In the business. no doubt he
can dictate from a column and hair
TO two columns an hour OF original mat
ter, and the writer knows of no other
man who can do that. OF course there
are plenty OF incompetents who pose as
typewriters, and who bring the business
into discredit by their poor work. For
many years the writer has been thrown
in contact with expert typewriters III Ms

view Of the many gibes and sneers III
which newspaper writers Indulge on The
subject OF typewriter operators OF 'he

AN INTERESTING TOPIC.
The statement in this correspondence
that the declination of Congressman Epes

the field WI be open for Democratic can

interesting discussion here. There Is
trict. which embraces eleven counties and

not believed that there will be any lack
OF asprants. 1t Is remembered that In

HALL AND CAMPUS.
Impetus Given to Athletics by the fayer
weather Gymnasium.
ATLANTA Constitution.)

AT the University OF Virginia the COM
pletion Of The Fayerweather gymnasium
gave an impetus to athletics which was
felt In all the branches. It's location near
the new athletic-field and running track
has been most fortunate, as the two have
been used In conjunction throughout the
year. A. consequence, a greater amount
OF systematic training has been done than
ever before, training which has had good
results In the various field-sports. and 1t
is probably due To this fact that the
annual games have been very good. The
interest In track-athletlcs Is growing
rapidly. and 1t Is hoped that the time Il
not far OF when Virginia can send her
representatives TO the annual meets OF the
intercollegiate association. Tennis Is
popular among the students. as shown
by the statistics, but the number who
play regularly Is very small In proper
ton to the Attendance at the university.
There are about ten courts In the col
iege grounds. five Of which are under the
control OF the tennis association. which
holds its fall and spring tournaments.
The winners of these tournaments repre-
sent the university. and steps have been
taken for arransing intercollegiate
matches. =
Owing to the fact that the only avail
able course Is several miles away from,
the university, boating has been almost
entirely neglected. Up to hve or six
