TWEnTY-FOURTA LEGISLATURE

According to the socialist organ
of Graham county Messrs. Pace,
Hampton and Cleaveland voted
against the 3-cent railroad fare
bill. This is malicious mlstate
ment as regards the two assembly
men, for it is a matter of legisla.
tive record that both gentlemen
recorded their votes in favor of the
bill.
The GUARDIAN has no apology
to offer for Mr.. Cleaveland's action
in voting against the bill as origi-
nAlly drawn and then introducing
a four-cent bill, for none of his
constituents take him as sincere IN
the matter. He knew his measure
would not pass the council and it
occurs to us that his course was a
half-hearted effort to redeem his
promise made during the campaign
But we do come to the defense
of Messrs. Pace and Hampton, who
voted for this measure as intro
duced IN the lower house; while
we may have difference of opin
ion on some measures they voted
for and against, yet, as a whole,
they made two of the most cred.
liable representative in the twenty
fourth legislature. Throughout
the entire session they stood faith
fully by Graham county and her
best interests, and in no case do
we know of single vote they cast
on any measure tnat was domina-
ted by corporation interests.
As a whole the twenty.fourth
legislature can be considered fairly
good, and Graham county has no
reason to complain of her two
members Of the lower house; on
the contrary they made comenda.

An Embryo Genius, Surely,
cemetery.

A private school for boys on Madi-
son avenue boasts of a pupil who un-
doubtedly is destined to high rank as
literary genius, says the New York
Press. For some infraction of dis
cipline this boy was sentenced to re-
main after hours and write an essay
of 200 words on birds. This is what
he wrote:
II do not like birds, for in the morn
ing when | am trying to sleep they
keep me awake with their twittering.
twittering. twittering, twittering, twit.
tering, twittering, twittering, twitter-
ing, twittering" And so on to the ex.
tent of about 20 words more. And
when | get mad and turn over and try
and try and try and try and try to get
to sleep they still continue TO chirp,
chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
And SO on as before. Birds. too, are
awful greedy things. They don't do
nothing all day but fly around and
peck, peck. peck, peck, peck, peck,
peck, peck" And so on until the re-
CURED number of words was com
pleted.
