To Encourage Short Story Writing.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
Ii is gratifying to note that the North
Carolina University takes the lead in a
movement to encourage short story
writing in the South. The prizes for
this contest will be some incentive to col
iege men to try their hand at writing,
although the prizes should be twice the
amount. The contest between the col
leges will be confined to the students,
but we have no doubt if some movement
were set on foot outside of college circles
Tor the encouragement of literary pro-
duction, we would be astonished at the
result. When we make it worth while
for people TO write we are liable to dis
cover more than one genius in the South
Wilmington Star
SO far as we know, this idea is
strictly original; certainly it is in the
South. But aside from that, and a
natural pride that our State
should take the lead in such matters,
the purpose is one we'll worthy of
pursuit and merits Acknowledgment.
The only way to learn to write is to
write, and if the South iseyer to take
stand in the world of literary pro-
ductlvity more inducements and en-
cOuragements must be offered to be-
ginners. The colleges and universities
are best prepared to blaze the way,
rs they have been doing. And by
intercollegiate contests they may
gofar toward removing the erroneous
impression that athletics, because
most talked OF in newspapers, is the
branch most emphasized.

An Interesting Volume.

::RECOLLECTIONS AND REFLEC-
TIONS:" An Auto Of Half a Century
and More by Wharton j. Green; Press
es OF Edwards & BroughtOn Printing
Company, Raleigh, \. c. S1.7o.
This is the title Of a book OF alb
sorbing interest written by Col.
Wharton J. Green of Fayetteville, n
C.. As its name implies it is in the
form of "reminiscences by the author,
embracing his experiences and mt
mate knowledge of the times and lie
during the Civil War and the follow
ing era of reconstruction dealing
also with men and women before the
country during the terms he spent IN
Congress. 1t is volume OF 3oO
pages, elegantly printed and nicely
bound in green cloth, illustrated,
and reflects credit alike upon the
author and the publishers.
Col. Green is a gentleman OF wide
culture and education, a forceful and
entertaining writer and his remlnls-
cences will make valuable cOntribu-
ton to the literature of the State.
That it will be warmly received
throughout the State we may not
doubt. The dedication is worthy OF
the author and the devoted object
to whom his initial volume is dedi-
Gated, and is SO fine that we repro
duce it in this connections:
To Gods noblest handiwork and true
mems highest conception of ideal perfec-
ton, a good, well-balanced woman, true
in all the relationships OF home and do
nestle life, and as little deficient in social
intercourse with the outside world be-
yond, pious without pretention, erudite
without pedantry, charitable without
parade, soft of speech but duly assertive,
stickler for the social properties but void
of prudery, ever genial but never frivo-
lous;-such is an imperfect pen-portrait-
ure of few of the aiuiable and lovable
traits of one seen in my minds eye and
the one best known in actual life. 1t Is
my blessed privilege to have undisputed
ownership to such a priceless treasure.
Yes, to thee, Adeline, wife of my bosom

And put it to fail: But you, 0 you,

my initial and, most probably, ul innate
book.
That alone, is sufficient to put the
stamp OF merit upon Col. Green's
book without investigating further
into the preface or well-filled and

No town will become good bust
ness center so long as its business
men rely on few merchants to
make the effort to bring trade to
town. Too often the men in few
lines of trade are about the only
ones that reach out after custom.
Other merchants wait until these
men induce the people to come to
town and content themselves with
trade that naturally drifts to their
place. A public spirited man should
ask himself if he is doing part to at
tract people to come to town to
trade in helping the entire business
