MRS. ALICE wEI:B-DukE.

Mr.. Al Fairbrother. editor and pro-
prietor of Everything, published semi
monthly in Greensboro, is an editorial
writer sui generis. There is not an
other like him. He has a way OF his
own of commenting ON current events
a way which he has copied from no
other writer and one that is nc fol-
lowed by any other newspaper maa.
We give here a specimen in his article
on Mrs. Alice Dukes application Tor
a1imony pending the trial of the suit
for divorce brought against her by Mr..
Duke. Since the article was published
in Everything the New York court has
refused the woman's application for
alimony and allowance for attorneys
fees pending the suit.
Everything says on this subject:

How a British Ofie-rs Watch Came
Into tic Rhodes Family Of Today.

Before the Revolution down I'm what
Is now Pender county lived Abram
Newkirk and Ben Lanier, both noted
for their prowess in feats of strength.
In wrestling. racing and jumping the
two men excelled all others in their
neighborhood. but each fearing his RI
val might win they had never raced
against each other. At the Battle of
Moore's Greek, General Mcdonald be-
ing sick. the British were commanded
by young Colonel Mcleod, who was
shot. Colonel Ellington. who COM
manded the Americans in place Of
General Moore, who was at Gross
Creek, offered the British officers
watch TO the man whose bullet had
killed him.
Both Newkirk and Lanier had shot
him in vital places so the ownership or
the watch had to be determined n sol1e
other way. Colonel Ellington decided
the two men should ace for ii. Both
stripped to the waist. The signal was
given and the half mile race began
Newkirk won and received the watch.
Sometime later his brother-in-law, a
Mr.. Rhodes, was elected to a position
of Importance. and Newkirk gave him
the watch. Up to a few years ago it
was in the Rhodes family and prob
ably is to this day.-Lucy NJ. Cobb in

A SURPRISE TO WHITE SOUTH
ERyERS.

A travelling man who was in town
tire other day when the public sch. oo
examination for teachers was being
held. remarked: Il see that M here
in North Carolina you dor.'t operate
exactly as they do In South Carolina.
/ was down there in one Of the county
seat towns when the examination. for
public school teachers was being held.
You can imagine my surprise to find
that the negro n white APPLICANTS
were both examined or The same day
and in the same room. 1t was a pretty
tad looking sight To me to see big ne
gro bucks sitting at work III the same
room with white ladies. I dent know
that h DO that way in all the coun-
ties. and don't suppose they do. but
hey did IL in that one."-Monroe
Journal.
Were the above item not from so
reliable Il paper we would say there
was not a word of truth in the state
ment. We do not believe The Journal
would publish such statement of this
travelling man unless it was well salts
fed that its informant was telling the
truth. Therefore on the authority of
The Journal we take it that the state
! 1dtt 10 LIZ AZ We LuuSt say
that such announcement was a sur
prise and a shock to us. We had no
idea there was a single county in
South Carolina or even in the entire
South in which such proceedings would
be allowed. We thought that of all
places in the world where ladies would
be guarded against forced association
with negro bucks" would be in the
examination rooms for public school
teachers in South Carolina. We hope
the informant of the Monroe Journal
has made a mistake. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that such a thing can be possible,
at the same time, as we said above,
The Journal is such a reliable D
that we do not believe it would make
such a statement unless it was posi-
lively sur it was true. The publica-
ton of this matter should be sufficient
to prevent the happening of such a
thing ever again. The people of South
Carolina should see to it that such dis
graceful proceedings are not repeated.

An Indian Legend.

An Indian story that has been hand
ed down and is still believed by many
Indian tribes is one about the trans
formation of leaves into birds. Long
years ago. when the world was young,
the Great Spirit went about the earth
making it beautiful. Wherever his
feet touched the ground lovely trees
and flowers sprang up. All summer
the trees wore their short green
dresses. The leaves were very happy
and they sang their sweet songs to the
breeze as it passed them. One day
the wind told them the time would
soon come when they would nave TO
fall from the trees and die. This mace
the leaves feel very bad. but they
tried to be bright and do the best they
could so as not to make the mother
trees unhappy. But at last the time
came and they let go of the tWlgS ana
branches and futtered to the ground.
They lay perfectly quiet, not able TO
move except as the wind would lift
them.
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were so lovely that he
did not want to see them die, but live,
and be beautiful forever, so he gave
to eacn bright ZEAL Il PAIR VI "lhSo dhu
power to fly. Then he called them MS
birds From the red n brown
leaves of the oak came the robins, and
yellow birds from the yellow willow
leaves and from bright maple leaves
he made the red birds; the brown
leaves became wrens, sparrOws and
other brown birds. This is why the
birds love the trees and always go to
them to build their nests and look for
food and shade-Kansas City Journal.
