WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE
5. a. Baker Returns Thanks for Copy
Of Times Sent by q Local Friend.

While on an eastern trip last SUM-
mcr, Deputy Clerk of the District Court
G. l.. GRADER met S. A. Baker, Can
adian freight and passenger agent Tor
the Chicago Great Western railway.
Mr.. GRADER was seated in Il Car when
Mr.. Baker came in. He introduced
himself and the journey was spent by
the two very pleasantly in each others
company. Mr.. GRADER recently mailed
a copy of the Grand Forks Evening
Times, holiday edition, to Mr.. Baker,
and in part that gentleman replies:
81 must say that one of the most
pleasant surprises for me during this
holiday season was the receipt Of the
Grand Forks Evening Times hoiti az
number.
THE act in itself of you thus re-
memhering me is more to he perhaps
than you imagine, for must say that
such u memory and such Il disposition
is rarely met with in the man-of-tc-
day"

The par! commission has decided
not to act definitely in the matter of
purchasing the property in the west
end Of the city known as Bulge Park
for park purposes, which was offered
a few days ago by w. H. Kelsey. I'M
til the law is determined as to the
rights and powers of the commission
A test cast is now pending in the su-
preme court to test the merits of this
law and determine definitely the
rights Of the commission. The case
can not now be decided because of the
fact that there is not full bench. The
commission purchased the Dobmier
property in the south end Of the city
and the fifteen acres thus secured will

THE SHOW WAS GOOD.
THE SHUW WAN GUUUe
Production OF "Man on the Box Was
Enjoyed by Large Audience.

Production Of "Man on the Box Was
Enjoyed by Large Audience.
A large, fashionable and thorough
ly enthusiastic audience witnessed
the cultured comedy, "The Man on the
Box" presented at the Metropolitan
New Years evening by Max Figman
and talented company. That the per-
Torrance is deserving of the favorable
mention which it has received wher-
ever a stand has been made, no one
will deny. Figman as Lieutenant
Worburton, otherwise the imam on the
box" made great hit and was COM
PEELED to answer to a number of cur
tain calls. Elizabeth Annesley, Fig
mans leading lady, is certainly coy
bit of feminity, and possessed of more
than ordinary ability as an interpre-
ter fthe part of the girl who is al
ways in "scrapes."
The stage settings carried by the
company were elegant, as we're also
the costumes worn by the players.
All hail to Figman and his COM
pany.

It is Ahead Of the National Law-One
or two Weak Spots to Fix.

J. H. Worst, director of the North
Dakota experimental station, has pre-
sented his report to Governor E. Y.
Sarles. He says in part:
Zone or two weak features in our
food law have been shown, and this
matter will be called to the attention
of the legislature with the request that
the same be corrected, not for the pur-
pose of working any hardship upon
either manufacturers or jobbers, but
solely to guard the interests of the
consuming public and to protect the
honest manufacturer who is willing to
sell his products for what they are
and without resorting to short weight
or measure. In the case of the drug
law 1t is deemed advisable to make
section 4 harmonic with the national
drug law, particularly with regard to
the sale of cocaine and methyl alcohol

II cannot however, recommend that
our state law be wholly farmonized
with the national food law, which it
seems to me, with six years experience
in the practical enforcement of food

would not prove as effectual in protect

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION MEET
ING

Judging from the reports of
the daily papers, the meeting Of
the Press Association at the Isle
Of Palms the past week was one
Of the most pleasurable and pro.
fitable within the history of the
association. No effort was spar
ed by Charleslonians and others
to make the visiting newspaper
men have a royal time.
"A number of interesting pa
pers were read at the business
meetings. The leading feature
however, was the very able and
comprehensive address delivered
Saturday by Mr.. A. b. Williams,
editor of the Richmond News
Leader, on "The Press OF South
Carolina in The Revolution OF
1876" which was published in
tull in the Charleston Sunday
News. The address is indeed a
most valuable contribution to
the history of the State during
that trying period. Mr. Williams,
who at that time was a young
on the staff of the old
journal Of Commerce, was in the
fight from start to finish, having
followed Hampton throughout
his memorable campaign, and in
relating his experiences and ob
servations, recalls many intense
ly exciting and dramatic incl
dents that had no doubt passed
from the memory of many now
living who took part in the States
redemption in rs.
The Association decided to
hold the meeting next year in
Gaffney.

The newspaper men of South
Carolina are evidently failures as
fishermen. Out Of a party OF 125
that "went fishin'" during the
Press Association meeting at the
Isle of Palms last week only one
editor caught anything, and the
extent of his luck was the "land-
ing" of lone catfish, which the
News and Courier says measured
"about six inches from the begin
ming of it's whiskers to the end of
its tall" Fishing for suckers at
home, it seems, is the country
EDITORS long suit. Ex-Editrr
Carter, of Lancaster, should have
been along to show the "boys"
how to inveigle the finny tribe
into swallowing hooks, bait or
no bait. The ex-editor, now an
influential alderman, has devel-
oped into one of the most en-
thusiastic and successful of pis-
catorial line singers. He fishes
by day and he fishes by night ,
and his favorite sire am is ellis
creek above town. He always
returns home laden with some
thing, if it is only a large section
