EDITOR CLINCH VALLEY NEWS:
Please allow me
space In your paper TO answer the con-
tention Of the Republicans OF Tazewell
County as TO their claim the right Of
representation on the Registration
Boards. i, for one, do not think their
claim is based on equity, for the fol-
lowing reasons, viz: first, the Repub-
hcans OF the county have held the
offices for the last twenty years, from
Overseer OF the Poor up, and Dem
ocrats could not even get job on the
road, and very few ever served on a
jury. With these facts before them
how can the Republicans OF the county
ask anything from the Democrats? /
feel that they will be treated fairly by
the several boards of registration, but,
OIL II they had a HEX at us our heads
would go or by the score. So, II we
cannot please them by fair dealing let
them sweat 1t out under their arms.
Yours Truly,
A DEMOCRAT.

A couple Of thirsty fellows Who
had been lOafng all the forenoon
on the quays at Stockholm were
struck with a brilliant idea. They
borrowed an old brandy keg and
half filled it with water. Then one
OF them slung it on his shoulder
and took it to the nearest spirit
vault, where he stated that he had
been sent by one of the Shippers in
port to have the keg filled with
brandy. .
~The captain is sorry he only
got it half full yesterday and thinks
1t would be better to have it filed
to the top"
The key was accordingly held un-
der the tap till it was full. and ths
fellow hoisted ii on his shoulder,
but as he was about TO walk of with
It he was stopped by the clerk, who
demanded payment for the spirits.

MEN STENOGRAPHERS ARE SCARCE

Unless some sort of revolution strikes the profession the male steno- graphcr may soon become a thing of the past" said the local manager of a type writing company. "It would be hard matter to explain this dearth of men typewriters. It is attributed to many different causes, but still the fact re- mains that 1t exists. It Is a common say ing that the girls have. crowded the young men out of the stenographic pro- fession. It would be wasting time to re- flute this absurd notion. The girls of course, have a great place in the pro- fession, and they fill it well, but if the number of girl stenographers were dou- ble what it now is, the demand for young men would be as strong as ever. They are wanted for different class of work. But this, after all, is not the point.
 "The fact of the matter is that men who contemplated becoming stenograph- CTS have unwittingly hypnotized them selves into the belief that the field has been covered by girls If person be- lieves something to be fact, that thing, however absurd becomes fact to him. It is what the professors call subjec- tive fact. If, therefore, the boys have
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-06-22

gotten the idea in their heads that the girls have crowded them out, the effect becomes exactly the same as if their Idea were correct ....---
 But where have they gotten the idea Certainly not from the employers. Per haps 1t Is simply an inference in their minds from tho enormous majority of girls who are now in the profession. They may, in short, have come to look upon stenography as girls work. Even this. however, is hardly full and adequate explanation. I believe that the dearth of men stenographers is due to carelessness on the part of employers. Young men should be impressed with the fact that by becoming stenographers their futures are far more promising than those of clerks or other similar profesN1ns.
 Ut would cause you to open your eyes in astonishment If I told you the names of famous men who began life as steno- graphers.
 ITO begin with, I could cite Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of Cleveiand- as an instance. He began life. by humping a typewriter, was promoted rapidly, and now Is one of the richest men in Ohio.
 Tn Illinois I can name Senator Will liam E. Mason. Robert R. Hit, chair man of the foreign affairs committee of the House of Representatives, was once stenographer, as also were George c.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-06-22

supply of young men to fill the vacant places. The pay is good and the work is not hard. Uncle Sam pays his steno- graphers $12O0 per annum at the begin ming with an increase to $1400 in six months where competency is shown, yet the dearth continues.
 There are all kinds of branches to the profession of typewriting nowadays. There is the touch system-which con- sists of grinding out matter without looking at the keyboard, and many other new schemes which have come into ex- istence only during the last few yea"s The thoroughly up-to-date operator nv thinks of watching the keyboard of a machine any more. He or she keeps looking direct at the matter to be copied of, never bothering about the letters on the machine. These are struck by in- stinct By means of this system blind persons also use type writers.
 "Do you know when the first typewrit ing machine was invented? There isn't one out of hundred persoNs that can answer that question. The first machine was constructed around TIA. In that year a patent was granted to a certain Henry Mill for a machine intended to do writing.
 "The first typewriter ever constructed in America was the invention of Will liam Austin Burt of Detroit, who in 1929 took out patent for it. Then followed innumerable other machines.
