THE WORST YET.
A Horrible R|under Made by a Newspaper
Correspondent.

Greensboro, April 17,--From a
complete investigation it seems
that the report that DR.. Pattef-
son, of Liberty, killed his wife
there yesterday afternoon is not
only untrue, but wholly without
foundation. The Observers cor
respondent was misled by a story
given to another newspaper man
by a physician here, who was ap-
parently fully informed as to the
alleged occurrence, and who was
not only ready to vouch for the
STORY, but gave other details that
were not put into print. Others
gave accounts of the affair last
night,
How these several men could
have been responsible for the
spreading of the rumor and giving
the horrible details of the alleged
affair is past all finding out.
The men who furnished the mis-
information were equally as much
surprised as the Observers CORE
spondent and other newspaper
men here when he learned this
morning of the falslty of the
statement. The names of those
from whom the transformation
was secured can be given by this
correspondent to any II whose
business 1t is to know. 1t is un.
necessary to add that the news
paper men regret that the story
!: was published and an apology if
hereby offered the injured parties

The Leap OF curtius.

A boy asks the editor 10 tell him
something about the leap OF Curtius,"
10 which he has seen allusion as AN
episode OF Roman history, says the
Chicago News. The story Is well worth
the telling. An earthquake had opened
a great chasm In the Forum at Rome
and the people had labored In vain 20
all H. Finally the augurs. or fortune
tellers, said that the chasni would new

WIDENING THE FIELD
MAKING GREATER OPPORTUNITY
FOR SONS or FARMERS.
BUILDING UP THE HOME TOWN
Bone Causes for Complaint Which
Can Be obIltersted by the
United Efforts Of the
People.

How often do we hear IL said that
the young man has not the opportun-
fly that the young man OF score OF
years ago had. How great is the com
plant OF trusts and combinations
which control industries 10 the detri-
ment OF the smaller ones In business,
and how often is reference made TO
business concentration in the large
cities at the cost OF the smaller
towns.
Innovations in business methods
have been many. II may be said that
this Is an era OF economical methods;
that evolution is going on continually
broadening the field for individual
EFFORT and making possible the opera
ton OF mammoth enterprises. There
can be no doubt as 10 the detrimental
effects upon small towns OF this busi-
ness concentration In the larger cities.
Pessimists depIore the lack OF oppor-
tunity for the young men OF today.
At the same time the large corpora
lions put forth the cry that there Is
scarcity OF the right kind OF material
for important places OF trust How
ever this may be, there IL one thing

kept from advancing narrows the

voritism he finds Is one OF the obstruc-
lions in his way. One OF the cures
for this condition IL 70 devise means
OF enlsrgfng the scope and importance
OF the so-called country towns.
There 10 no economical reason why
the large city should have the bust.
ness that riEhtfully belongs 10 the
small town. There 10 no saving in
buying goods at distant point even
though a small percentage may be
saved directly. Whenever a resident
OF q community sends his money 10
some other community for the neces
stiles that he requires, he robs his
own home town OF a certain amount

determined to get even with them,
so he put into his pocket pocket
book containing only slip of pa
per on which were written the
words:
"This time, you rascal, you've
lost the reward of your labor!"
He got into the same omnibus
and waited, resolved to have the
first pickpocket that meddled with
him arrested. Twenty minutes pass
ed and nothing happened, and, tired
of waiting, he got out, having as
sured himself that his pocketbook
was safe. He opened it, and in
place of his white piece of paper
was a blue one, which he unfolded

Of spending little time with good
fellows is apparent when one has
his way to make by his own efforts
in the world. Courtesy is always
commendable, and courtesy costs
nothing. 1t helps everywhere.
The value of long list of friends
and acquaintance to a commercial
man is most obvious, for by his ac-
qusintance, his popularity, he OBJ
tains much valuable information
that helps when it comes to doing
business. And the point is not to
overlook the opportunity to cult
vate the friendship of those whose
knowledge and worth have already
advanced them to high position, for
their example inspires to emulation;
thus association develops our best
powers, and their counsel and
friendship are worth something eth

1t is not worth while to pause to
consider whether men in olden

leisure time at the races, baseball

nave a serious purpose in life and
who go on cheerfully toward the
goal, developing their powers mean
