In reply to an !ntimatiUn that an
article which appeared in the Pied
mont Banner was not written by its
editor, the latter gets back with the
following sarcasm that hits pretty
close: "As is known everywhere.
when editors have il hard story to
write they send the deyi! hiking out
after school teacher, preacher or
lawyer. l. Is Il wonder that doctors
don't get wise to this plan and cal!
the blacksmitis in for consultation
when they have a critical case. So,
too. the lawyers might get some yalu-
able tips from the carpenters in pre-
pairing their bills in equity, etc"

Solicitor for the Big Print
cry Advanced From
Compassion.

MIR. Ryan has received rapid advance
ment at the hands OF the present ad-
nhnisraton o. the Office, more than
doubling his salary within the last year.
He has advanced from the position of
composltor al s. per day. TO the position
Of rroofreader. and. finally. 70 solicitor
a new position, which he has held three
or four months.
1t is the duty OF the solicitor to con

quired for the money order business OF

OHIO CONVENTION
AT AN EARLY DATE
Foraker'S Announcement
for Presidency Brings Ac-
ton From Taft Followers.

AS the result of the announcement Of
Senator Foraker that he vii be a can
didate for President, the Taft leaders
have practically decided to call the Ohio
convention for the selection Of delegates
10 the Republican National Convention
at the earliest feasible date
1t is the plan now to have the con-
vention held some time in February,
and it will probably be held in that
month.
The purpose OF an early convention
Is obvious. It is realized by the Taft
leaders that the Foraker forces. by their
fight on Taft IN Ohio, expect to weaken
him in other states and to cripple him
in getting delegations elsewhere. So
long as the result Of the contest in Ohio
is doubtful. IL wH be the more diff
cult for Taft get delegations in
other States. for this reason, the Taft
leaders will try TO end the Ohio strug-
gle as soon as possible.
It is expected there will be important
conferences on the Ohio situation as
soon as Secretary Taft returns to this
country. one of the arguments that
Taft's opponents will now use to the
utmost as a reason why he should not
be nominated is that because of the
bitterness Of the Ohio fight the State Is
likely to go Democratic next year.

made Just 400 years ago last month. II
was in September. 1907. that King James

Edinburgh to France. An ADVENTURE,
John Damian, who had gained the IA
vor Of the King. said that he would
reach France before the ambassador by
simply flying there He had a pair OF
huge wings made OF eagles feathers,
fastened them 70 his body, and in the
presence Of thousands OF people he
launched himself into the air from the
walls OF Stirling Castle. Instead Of ris-
ing, though, ne fell 70 the ground and
broke his leg. The air navigator eX-
CuSe for his failure was that some
cocks feathers had been mixed in with
the eagles plumes, and that these. in
