WILLIAMS business houses that are vacant are hard to find. The town has proven that she is here to stay, and the prospects for the future are most bright Only the other day one of our business men, who is and has been doing a lucra- tive business, stated to the NEWS man that a certain other gentleman had promised to erect a substantial business block, but that for some req son 1t was not materialiZing. He also stated that, while he liked Williams and was desirous of con- tinuing in business here, unless he could secure larger and more suita- ble quarters than he has at present the near future would herald his departure. No such move as this should be allowed-for the lack of a business block The town is in a thriving condition and the quicker some one commences the erection of a suitable building the better of they will be financially and the more rapidly will the towns re- sources increase.

 As yet we have failed to hear of the governor of South Carolina tel egraphing his troubles to the gov ernor of North Carolina. There are some things that even a South Car olina governor does not wish to whisper.

 Governor Murphy has returned from Washington. The governor inclines to the belief that Arizona has small chances to be admitted 1 to statehood at this session of con- gress. We still hope for the best, however, but probably if we had been with the governor and knew the circumstances as well as he does, we would agree with him. The governor is most emphatic in his statement that the committee | at the big statehood con- in Phoenix has utterly failed to fulfill its mission.

A NOVEL; IN A MAGAZINE.

An innovation in periodical literature

stories sketches, poems and witticlsms'
which has made this quarterly famous
The size of the periodical has been IN

bulkv. The novel. entitled Where
waters Beckon." is by Joanna f. Wood.
It is a tale of the Niagara River, OF ab
sorbing interest and much dramatic
strength. The central figure. is young
woman who, at her fathers behest, mar
ries a monomaniac. The river TO this
man is a sentient being, craving contin-
ual sacrifice. and his one object is to
cast his bride into its waiting embrace.
The bride meets a young civil engineer
and they become madly in love with each
other. This part of the story IS truly
idylIic. No more moving romance has
been printed for a long time. Though in
prose form, it is a rarely delightful
poem, and cannot but add greatly to Miss
Woods already plenteous wreath OF
laurels.

or less drunk, and l happened to be in
perfect condition and a good boxer so I
scored a few knockoutS without receiving
a scratch. BY this time l was recognized
as a TeDOrer. After that the strikers
gave me all the news that was going

The surprising success of Eminent Ac-
tors in Their Homes, by Margherita
Arlina Hamm. Games Pott & Coz shows
not only that the American public is
deeply interested in the great stars of the
stage, but also that the author has used
the best literary methods in presenting
the distinguished Thespians who are dis
cussed in her bright volume. Wit and
humor, description and anecdote, critl-
cism and happy personality are used
with powerful effect. Every character
treated is alive and real, and each will
be recognized by the play-goer from the
careful depletion of quality, style and

Right here enters a great question
among the publishers. What rights have
they as publishers to make changes in
the manuscripts of their authors, is a
problem always. 1t is true that the work
of many writers is very carefully edited,
and this is doubtless as it should be. In
the case of unknown writer's, the publish
ers are responsible to the public for hav-
ing issued their work. 1t would seem
that the publisher has some other func-
tion than that of mere manufacturer and
seller of merchandise. But, when an au-
thor has established himself it is not
likely that the publishers care to disturb
his work 1t is a case of take it and
publish it as it has been written or leave
it alone. There are many firms, however,
who find it difficult to draw the line They
feel a certain need of maintaining the
reputation which they have established
with the public. on the one hand, and
they have the keen desire on the other,
to secure the works of famous authors
who may overstep some of their stern
rules as to the class of books which they
shall issue.
