OUR ENVIRONMENTS.

To newspaper publisher who for
twenty-three and a half years has been
having oil of his paper printed in his
own office, who has been accustomed
through all of these years to prepare
copy up to the very moment of closing
the pages, and often stopping the
press to change some item or add
new ones, it comes quite awkward to
have all of his work done 100 miles
away, and to lose one whole day when
the brightest and best items of news,
and all of the new advertisements
would be published. We cannot ad
just ourselves to the new order O.
things, and thus the Robesonian, fol
the time being, must necessarily b,
the merest make-shift,
When the fire occurred, on Saturda,
night, the 9th inst. we had about tire
columns of local already in type an,
enough written to make one or tw
more, and after the latter was bundle,
up and sent off, it was impossible t.
distinguish between what was destroye
in the flames and what was sent off t
be printG.3-.and what we had write
and what remained to be written. W
had also intended to appear O
Wednesday last week, but owing I
sending copy too late, we did not g
the paper delivered here till THURSDAY
1t is but Just to the Charlotte Newsp,
per Union, who are printing our p,
per temporarily, to say that no fau
attaches to them; they understar
their business, and the short comm,
are due aud due alone to our inabilit
to grasp the situation.

The Saw.

Pliny says that the saw was first in
vented by Daedalus, but according to
Apollodorus, it was the invention of
Talus, who used the jawbone of a croc-
odile to cut through piece Of wood,
and then made an iron instrument in
imitation of it. The saw Is represented
on the monuments of Egypt from $500
to 5000 years B. c. AS early as A. D.
1922 sawnills driven by water power
were in operation at Augsburg, and il
is believed that before this they were
in operation in Paris, driven by the
current of the Seine. The first saw nil
erected in the Norway pineries was II
1880. Sawmills were numerous il
Italy in the sixteenth century. They
were not introduced in England unit
1868, when a native of Holland bull
one, but was compelled to abandon i
by the opposition Of the populace, wh'
saw no good in sucn q new-fangled con
