Of course, there are exceptions to all rules. but few hold a position longer. Some girls disappear at the end of a week, others finger for a month or two but sooner or later the quick lunch fend rushes into his favorite eating place and finds that the cashier he knows is gone, while a new mistress of the cash register presides over the toothpicks and cigars I have never been able to find out where all the young women cashiers go when they leave the restaurants. I am told that a great many of them marry, but even then, there must be a large number who get positions elsewhere. The girls who find husbands in the not too romantic atmosphere of a lunch room are permanently disposed of, but where do the others go? You never see a girl leave one restaurant and appear in another place of the same character. They just drop out and are seen no more."

To Make Joint Canvass.

A Wilkesboro dispatch of Sat-

letter has been mailed to Spencer
E. Blackburn by R. N. Hackett:
Honorable e. Spencer Blackburn,
Greensboro, N. G.
Dear Sir:-It is a time-honored
custom and worthy of continual
ton that opposing candidates of

thesamel legislative position should
make q JOINT canvass of their re-
spectlve counties or districts, so
that the voters may have all OPP

of both sides of any question on
which the parties are divided, and
also Of judging by comparison
which of the candidates, in their
opinion, ls most worthy Of their
suffrages, which would serve them
wit most fidelity, honesty and
ability in a representative capac-
ity and would most effectually
safeguard the interests Of the peo-
pie. Since you have been nomi-
mated by the Republican party of
the eighth congressional district
as it's candidate for Representa-
tive in the rational congress I, as
the candidate of the Democratic
party for the same position, in
vite you to meet me in joint dis
cussl"n throughout the various
counties of the district at such
times and places as we may here
after agree upon. Trusting that
this invitation will meet with your
favorable consideration and that
you will write me at your earliest
convenience suggesting when and
where we shall meet add arrange
for said joint canvass, [ am,
respectfully,

TWELVE INNINGS.
A Closely Contested Ball Game on the
Glorious Fourth,

The Salisbury correspondent Of
che Charlotte Observer gives the
subjoined graphic description of
the ball game here on the Fourth:
"The baseball game between
Statesvi.le and Salisbury was a
beautiful contest and was witness
ed by a tremendous concourse of
people. For two hours every car
was packed entirely beyond any
sort Of comfort and many were
compelled to remain up town on
account of not being able to 60
out. Statesville won the game
after a struggle lasting two and a
half hours in which Clement,
Trinity's pitcher, sustained his
we'll earned reputation for effective
tossing. Cooper, of Statewide,
did almost as we'll, these two by
their clever work giving all exhi-
bition of ball seldom seen on anna
teur diamonds. The game was
played with a snap like profess
SIGNALS. Neither side scored in
the first, but Salisbury led in the
second with q run made by New
man, who earned two thirds of it
by stealing and sliding to third.
Statesville was blanked with a
large setting of goose eggs until
the eight, when Clement pulled
the team out of a terrible hole.
With three men OF, bases and no
man out, he struck out two men
and had two strikes on the batter
when a steal to third caused the
catcher for Salisbury to throw
wild and let the runner in. There
they fought to a standstill, until
S~tatesville pushed another man
across the plate in the twelfth in
nlng and won. The final score
was, Statesville 2 and Salisbury
1. Clement and Miller were the
battery for Salisbury and Cooper
and Sheriff. for Statesville." !

Some Sound Views.

The editor of this paper would be
the last man on earth to knowing
ly say a word to hurt the feelings
of any Of its subscribers or citizen,
especially at a time when the dark
winged messenger of death has
brought sorrow to the home, but
from the best of motives we desire
to call the attention of our readers
to the custom of publishing
''cards of thanks" It is a custom
that has outgrown its purpose, if
it ever had one. When sickness
and death come to your home it
is only natural that your
friends and neighbor, should do
what they could to assist you.
They would be heathens if they
did not, They know from the ex-
preston of your face that you are
thankful and appreci t e |
they do, and it is unnecessary to
rush into print and tell the world
that your neighhors were kind
when you we're in trouble. The
reading public is becoming tired
of the old stereotyped ''card Of
thanks" You a express to
your friends, by a word or look,
your thankfulness in a more i'm
presive manner than you can in a
column of cold type.-Concord
