RECORD BREAKING
POSTAL RECEIPTS

had heen discovered and announced to
the world as its author.
According to a lineaI descendant
of Professor Moore from whom these
facts concerning the authorship of
"A Visit from st. Nicholas" have
been obtained, he was so distressed
over the matter and so apprehensive
OF a loss of influence over his pupils
that he did not meet his class for
several weeks and at one time was
on the point of resigning his posi-
ton. From this radical move he
was dissuaded fortunately by let
ter from a literary man in whose
Judgment he had great confidence.
This opportune correspondent wrote
enthusiastically of the Christmas
poem and predicted that it would
have unusual popularity.
1t was contrary to the professor s
own opinion, but he soon began to
realize that the public did not agree
with him. 1t was another case of
waking up to find himself famous.
1t was fame which he had neither
coveted nor courted, but he accepted
the popular verdict, and when, in
1914, he published collection OF his
poems, "A Visit From st. Nicholas"
was not omitted. The author sur
yived the unauthorized publication
Of his poem for more than forty
years and it's popularity never waned
during his lifetime. He occupied the
chair of oriental languages in the
theological seminary. New
York city, until the middle OF the
building up of that institution. He
gave the land on which the present
imposing buildings stand.

RUN FOR MAYOR
OF the City of Salem At It's Election
to be Held There Next
Spring.

Although there is no city election
in Salem until April. there is a good
deal of talk as to candidates next
Spring. The name of Col. John w.
Carpenter is being widely mentioned
in connection with the mayorality,
though it has not been definitely
learned whether he would consent to
run. Those who are booming him
for the place say he knows the city
and its needs thoroughly and that he
would certainly conduct the office OF
mayor in an efficient and dignified
manner. and at the head of any ticket
would create enthusiasm. The Col
onel possesses a magnetic personality
and other qualifications OF a good
mayorality candidate.

OF a Very Serious Nature is
Preferred Against Tay-
lor County Man.
ASSAULTS YOUNG GIRL
Who is fsrD' Half Sister and is
Now in Grafton Jail to
Await a Hearing.

Perhaps the most revolving crime
that has ever Deen committed in Tay-
Ior county was brought to light when
John Coviqgton, man who has a
very bad reputation. was arrested
Monday at the home of Wesley Hadix,
well known and worthy resident Of
that county. which is near what is
known as the Stone House up the
Grafton e Belington branch of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Coving-
ton Is charged with having committed
rape upon his half-sfster. Miss Minnie
Hadlx, aged between IL and 13 years.
On the night OF Saturday. Dec. IA,
Mrs. Hadix went to the home of a
neighbor. George Covington, where
she remained. Mr. Hadfx had been
in Grafton and ne also went as far
as Covington's where he and his wife
remained all night. 1t was while
they were away on this evening that
the crime was committed.
Shortly after the crime had been
committed Mr.. Hadix questioned her
but 1t was not until Sunday evening
that the truth OF the thing came out
and then 1t was only after close
questioning on the part of the moth
or that she was enabled to get from
the little on6 what had happened.
At once the mother and father con-
ferrcd regarding the matter and it
was decided to Mt once come to the
city and have warrant isued for
Covington's arrest The girl was al
so taken to Grafton and taken to Dr.
Powell. who made an examination,
but who. up to late hour in the af-
noon. had not given out anything as
to whether the condition of the girl
Mt the present time was caused by
the crime which it is claimed was
committed or by other causes.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hadix. the lat
ter the mother OF both of the princi-
pals. are positive that Covington
committed the crime just as the lit
tie girl has described it, and they are
going to do everything IN their pow
er to have him punished for deflling
his sister.
