He Read Caine.

While Hall Game was in this coun-
try several years ago the Aldine club
Of New York city dined him. Among
those invited to meet Mr.. Game was
one of the most popular of our Ameri-
can authors. Soon after the dinner be-
gan dinner cards began to circulate
with requests for autographs. The
author in question whispered to his
neighbors:
"I'm going to send my card up to Mr..
Caine as soon as can, for am down
for speech later on, and want to be
able to say that I've read something
that Game has written."- York

Proved His Theory.

The late Hall McAllister some years
ago entertained visiting scientist at
the Union club, before its amalgama-
ton with the Pacific, and during the
evening, particularly foggy one,
made some whimsical remark convey
ing the idea that fog was an excellent
conductor of sound.
The scientist took exception to this
novel theory and asked Mr.. McAllister
on what it was based.
ION phenomena which we have all
observed" returned the ready jurist.

fog horn quite distinctly, but when
there is no fog we cannot hear it at
all"-San Francisco Argonaut.

PAY WITHHELD FROM STRIKERS

The News and Observer is in receipt
of the following communication which
it is requested to print:
To the Editor: The Southern has tried
another scheme to force it's telegraph
operators to return to work 1t has re-
fused to pay the operators that have gone
out on strike for service rendered during
the month of March and twelve days of
April
Now every operator in the South
ern Railway ought to sue the company
at once and get a Judgment against
them and then have the sheriff of the
county to lock the first local freight
train that goes on a side track at their
station. AN OPERATOR.
This paper knows nothing of the
facts above set forth, but it does know
that if the Southern is declining to
pay it's men to punish them for strik-
ing or to force them to return to SER
vice. it is acting in violation of all
law and moral right, and all good cit
liens should assist the operators in
securing such remedy as they may be
entitled to under the law.

A DoG-EAT-DoG CONTEST.

Queer, but it has ever been true
that when thieves fall out honest men
get their due. Governor Russell and
Ex-Congressman Pearson have fallen
out and Russell says that Pearson was
fairly beaten by Crawford, but is now
trying to steal the latter's seat.
The truth. no doubt, but it took
snubbing of Russell by the Republican
State convention, at Pearson solicit
tation to bring that truth out.
This Russell-Pearson row as we look
at it. is sort of dog-eat-dOg contest
with which we've got next to nothing
to do-eXcept look on and laugh. we
hope we may be permitted. however,
to suggest that so far as political in
fluence in North Carolina is concerned
both Russell and Pearson may be
labelled Dead Ducks and filed in
the archives of 1.-The IIas-beens.'
Pearson is a political lackey with
the manners of a lord and the morals
of stable-boy. He is statesman
of the peanut variety and with him
the end ever justifies the means. AS
to his political record the reader is
referred to Governor Russelfs biOg-
raphy of him in another column.
Russell is big vigorous fellow.
given TO losing his temper and wear
inc high-water trousers. For the first
two years of his term he breathed
fire and slaughter against corpora
tons and the money power. During
his last year and a half he has been
their servile tool. The explanation of
his somersault is that he is said to
have amassed some of the wealth he
at first made his target. He was a lit
tie too elastic and active in this re-
spect for even the Republicans, and
hence they threw him out.
A pretty pair. truly. to be now max
ing faces at each other-Russell and
Pearson.
There is init all only. one thing that
makes us sad. We note with heart
rending regret that the Governor
has seen fit to drag into his row with
Pearson. Colonel Virgil Lusk, 1.-The
cowbuncle on the shirt-front of
liberty" and the Hon. Geo. Smathers,
1.-The brightest jewel of the West"
These two bright particular stars
ought not to be dmmed by a small
thing like this.
