An Editor Lost.

An editor GENERALLY knows
where he is "at," but we know
of a certain Charlton county
editor who didn't know that
much last Friday evening. He
didn't know which way was
home, and, in fact, was lost.
This particular quill driver
went to Whitman on the Wabash
in company with Cecil Wayland
of Mendon and J. A. Collet of
Keytesville Friday afternoon,
expecting that a surry from Men
don would meet them, out in.
stead of surry awaiting them
at Whiham they found only a
buggy.
After looking daggers at the
liveryman awhile and talking
the dilemma over it was agreed
that the editor should ride to
Mendon and that Messrs. Way.
land and Collet should walk un-
til they could meet surry for
which they telephoned from
Whitman to Mendon.
When the last. named s'surry"
was met by the editor and the
liveryman,it, too, proved to be a
buggy, and the editor proposed
to get out and walk on to Men.
don and let the iveryman go
back for one of the other men,
both of whom were measuring
the distance from Whitman to
Mendon with their bipeds.
The liveryman assented to the
editors proposition and the
gatherer of news items was set
'afoot about two miles from Men.
don, ,and started in a brisk walk for
his destination, but he failed to
turn north at the right place and
did not get his bearings until he
Ian ded in Old Mendon, 2 1.2
miles south east of his objective
point.
Just about this time it began
to rain and the newspaper man
stopped at w. H. Wards and
borr owed Mrs. Wards umbrella.
He told her his tale of woe and
she smiled audibly and threaten.
ed to have him written up"
He was quite familiar with the
road from Mr.. Wards to Men.
don, but it soon began to grow
dark and he went north instead
of east when he reached M. N.
Rust's former home, and landed
at I. R. Smiths, 3.4 of q mile
east of Mendon, but he didn't
know whether Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Jones or Mr.. Brown lived there,
yet inquired the way to Mendon
and was told to turn back tc the
first road running north and to
90 down that road to the Santa
Fe railroad track and then down
the track to Mendon, but when
he reached the railroad he was
in a pickle as to which way was
cup" or which way was "down."
It was eally funny, even to the
editor, when he found himself
making signs in his efforts to
figure out the directions, and he
walked first one way and then
another until he saw the electric
headlight of a frie endly Santa Fe
train, and he made up
his mind to wait and see whether
or not the engine whistled for
Mendon bef ore he walked any
further.
It was then pitch dark and
still rain ing. and you can we'll
imagine that editors joy when
the engine whistled not long
after it had passed him, and he
followed the train down the
track to the Mendon depot and
hurried to the hotel to appe ase
his ravenous appetite, for the

Maj. W. E. Breese, who has been
convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary on several occasions,
for stealing only $4,000 from
the First National Bank Of Ashe-
vile, has finally succeed in cheat
ing justice. The U. S. district
court of appeals, at Richmond,
has dismissed his case on the
ground that two of the jurymen
who found the bill of indictment
had not paid their taxes accord
ing to law. This is a ve-y frivi-
lous pretense and there should be
no time lost in "passing a law"
or correcting the present 80 as

W. Thos. Bost, the Salisbury
correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer, is now quite busily en-
gagged making appointments to the
legislature for Rowan county.
His latest selection, Whitehead
Kluttz for the senate, is a good one
and is in every way worthy as he is
fully capable to assume the re-
sponsibilities of the position. We
hope, however, Mr. Bost will at
least permit the good people of
the county to bow in humble sub
mission to his appointments.

Reading by the Blind.

A we'll known French ophthalmolo-
gist, who had the misfortune to be-
come blind several years ago. did not
permit this calamity to interfere with
a scientific study of reading and
writing, but led him to investigate
reading by the blind, employing the
Braille, or raised, type. He found that
the tactile acuity Of the blind was
actually less than that of normal per-
sons and that few, even those born
blind, are able to attain a speed of
100 words minute in reading, or Of
ten words a minute in writing, being
educated for this purpose; and, while
others may be more sensitive, yet they
are not useful for this purpose. The
reading finger tires easily, and it is
this fact that initiates against easy
reading by the blind.-Harper's Week

Last Saturday the writer took his
niece Effie Farvill and Lottie
Theissa to picnic and fish down at the
Plondke slough. We caught a
few small fish but the girls enjoyed
the day immensely. Just as we
were breaking camp John Lord and
Grant Tubbs Of Bloomington came
along and offered us a ride in their
boat. The boys, in company with
others to come later, will stay all
night. using tent, and will no
doubt have plenty of fish to take
home next day. The main thing
was a picnic dinner and dandy
good time, which all claimed they
had.
Last Saturday was a fearful hot
day. Why? Because Peter Gas
ner, who was never known to take
off his coat to fight the heat came
out on the street in his shirt sleeves.
Little boys yelled, who stole your
coat Pete?" A rush was made to the
shady side of the street, and
general moping of perspiring faces
took place. Every body wished we
had a big fan erected on Main
street, run by a powerful steam
engine. Pete reminded us of the
Irish man. Pat said, she drank
whuskey in winther tonne to cape
out the coulds, and in the summer
tonne to cape out the hate, begobs."
So Peter reasons, if a coat keeps out
the cold in winter, it also keeps the
heat out in summer; anyway Satur-
day will go on the Bagley calandar,
as a record breaker for high tenn
perature; as Peter never was
known to shuck his coat before or
since.

There is nothing like starting
right, and the time for men to start
right is when they are young. A
wrong start may be, and often is,
corrected, but the risk is too great
to be taken by the young men Of
our times, when the rush for places
IN the front ranks is so great that
those who are compelled to begin
over again" are almost certain to be
left behind in the race. The young
man Of wavering views is doomed to
be side tracked in this positive age.
The young man who holds views of
his own, expresses them courage
iously and sticks to them Loyalty will
lose no friends in the long run even
among those from whom he differs.
