TIE V!CE-PRESiDENCY.

My country has, in its wisdom,
contriyed for me the most insignifi-
cant Office that ever the invention OF
man devised or his imagination con-
ceiyed," said John Adams, the first
Vice-President Of the United States,
when he was notified of his election
to that Office. Perhaps Mr.. Adams
is responsible for the general mis-
apprehension which seems to exist
concerning the Importance and the
influence of this Office
A study of history. however will
show that the Vice-Presidency is one
of the great Offices, and that men who
have filled this position have been
men of influence and power. Many
of them later, through this avenue.
stepped to the presidency.
John Adams, the first Vice-Presi-
dent, who so disparaged the second
Office. later became the first man of
the Nation. 1t must be said of him
that his service as Vice-Presdent en-
titled him to the higher Office. He
eyerted an influence over legislation
such as was never approached by any
of his successors. Not even Presi-
dent Washington himself had such a
sway in shaping legislation during
the First Congress as was exerted by
Vice-President Adams. according TO
historians.
Thomas Jefferson ami Martin Van
Buren were also chosen to the higher
Office by the vote of the people. while
they were Vice-Presidents. The
deaths of Presidents Harrison, Tay-
lor. Lincoln. Garfield and Mckinley
sent Tyler. Fillmore. Johnson, Arthur
and Roosevelt up. All these men
may be said to have been of presiden-
tial stature before their nomination
to the second office. Several men
who served as Vice-Presidents have
received votes for the presidential
nomination. Among them are John
c. Calhoun, Richard NJ Johnson.
George NJ. Dallas, William Rufus
King, John c. Breckenridge and
Thomas A. Hendricks.
Several of the later Presidents
have eXerted great influence in shap-
ing legislation by casting votes in
cases of equal division in the Senate.
George NJ. Dallas. who held the Sec
ond place on the Polk ticket, saved
the life Of the Walker free trade"
tariff bill of 1876 John c. Calhoun
twice cast deciding vote on matters
of legislation. Hannibal Hamlin, the
Vice-President of the Civil War days,
managed to have an influence in en-
acting legislation on several occa-
sions. He was often consulted b.

Alva l.. Cloyd, student in the Col
lege OF Arts ahd Science of the Uni
versity of Missouri. made an eight
year trip around the world. He left
his home. Salisbury, Mo-, June, 1903.
and returned to Columbia to complete
his university course in September,
1911. Mr. Cloyd had travelled $4,000
miles On land ald approximately 57.-
eco on water; had spent eight months
of the eight years and three months
in ocean travel, and had visited sew
enteen foreign countries and innum
cradle cities of note.
Mr. Cloyd left bachelor but re-
turned benedict, having been accom-
panied during a large portion of his
travels by Mrs. Cloyd, who is from
Melbourne, Australia.
Eye trouble while a student here
had compelled him to give up school
work. He began to look about for
some other means to pursue his edu-
cation in a practical way and at the
same time give his eyes a rest from
books.
A roughing it, trip around the
world suggested itself This prom
ised not only adventure. but almost
certainty of solid gain in experience.
Working ones way around the world,
paying ones expenses by any employ
ment that came to hand, would afford
a certain and probably valuable edu-
cation.
To See Real Life.
In books we see truth in black and

in the world, do we not see rough
and rugged truth stripped of all such
veneering?" asks Mr.. ClOyd. Truth

sus truth in action. Which would
give me the better insight into life?
What better thing could be done than
TO interrupt the University course to
see something of the world of real
ity itself? The temptation was too
much. Travel must"
Mr.. ClOyds thirst for travel more

sions far from regular tourist routes.

wrote for a recent number of The

London. He describes an exciting
trip among the wild Maoris inhabiting
mountainous region in the interior
Of the North Island.
In order to see something more OF
his own country first. MIR. Cloyd trav-
eled extensively in the Western states
before reaching San Francisco. From
there he went to Australia, New Zea-
land, New Guinea, and adjacent equa-
torial regions, the Philippine Islands,
india. Ceylon, and then by way of the
SueZ Canal to Europe and the British
isles. He estimates the cost of the
trip at SS,0C0.

Old Spanish Locomotive.

Brownsville Correspondence Indian
apo'is News.
The railroad that runs between
Brownsville and Point Isabel, twenty
two miles, still retains some of its
original features that were established
by it's Spanish owners. This road
was built by a syndicate of Spaniards
in 1868 and its equipment all came
from Spain.
It was operated by the same meth
cd as the railroads of that country.
All of its officers and employees were
Spaniards with the exception of the
laborers, who were Mexicans. Even
the books of the company were kept
in Spanish. This road occupied for
thirty-eight years an isolated position
relative to any other railroad in the
country, it being more than $50 miles
from its Brownsville terminal to the
nearest railroad outlet.
One of the most interesting relics
of the old Spanish regime of this line
is the peculiar type of locomotive
which is still in use doing daily SER
vice between Brownsville and Point
Isabel. This locomotive is of the
upright boiler style, the miniature
cab being Immediately behind it. The
road is narrow guage, but it is plan
ned to convert it into standard width
and bring its equipment up to mod
ernness in the very near future.

Gov. Harmon cannot be nominat-

New York, March 21.-Mr. and

each for the humiliating incident of
being elected from the Hotel Astor
here last year. This compromise ver-
dict was agreed upon by counsel this
afternoon, after an indiscreet juror
had caused a mistrial by asking a
witness for the defendant what
would happen if he (the juror held
up the case?" The witness told the
defendants lawyer; the defendants
lawyer told the court. The court
lectured the juror then the compro-
mise was reached.
The Favishes sued for 100000.
An employee at the Astor caused the
couple to be put out because he said
the hotel had information that they
were not man and wife.

ticket agent that she had been visit

her. Several times since his wife

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR BRYAN?
His Nomination Not Impossible,
Think Many Democrats.

Washington, March 22.-Many OF
the wisest of the Democratic men,
bers of congress regard very serious
ly the suggestion that Mr.. Bryan may
be selected for a fourth time by the
Baltimore convention as the party S
candidate for president. They do not
believe the Nebraskan would refuse
the nomination if it were rendered
him, in the event no other man now
in the race could land the prize.
At the same time, many who for
merly supported MIR. Bryan for the
nomination express the opinion that
to choose him again would be bad
blunder. A recent editorial in the
News and Courier on this subject has
attracted attention in congressional
circles.

BUILDING FALLS, THREE KILLED
Two Women and Little Girl Victims
of Distressing Accident.

Wadesboro, n. c., March 20.-At
II o'clock this morning the walls Of
the Parsons Drug Company's store, 4
two-story brick structure standing on
the public square of this city, crash
ed with a loud noise and carried 4
number of men and women beneath
the ruins, killing at least three Of
them instantly. The dead are little
Virginia May Covington, oldest
daughter of Dr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Cov-
ington, Jr.; Miss Marian and Miss
Lora Little, daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. J. Little, all of Wadesboro.
Mrs. J. NJ. Covington and her
daughter-in-law, Mrs. J. NJ. Coving-
ton, Jr., and little Virginia May and
Mrs. L. D. Robinson were seated at a
table in the corner of the store with
the Misses Little when the crash
came. When the bystanders realized
what had happened they rushed in
regardless of their own lives and
succeeded in bringing out the two
Mesdames Covingtons and Mrs. Rob-
inson. The little girl was found
pinned beneath the heavy timbers,
dead.
No trace of the Misses Little was
found until a great part of the debris
had been removed During the time
the men worked like demons and in
an hour the body of Miss Lora was
found. 1t was several hours later
before the body of Miss Marian was
located and taken from the ruins. All
the dead belonged to prominent fam
lilies.
1t is feared tonight that the elder
Mrs. Covington cannot live. Her lower
jawbone broken on both sides; her
left arm is broken and she is suffer-
ing from internal injuries. Mr.. Fred
Parsons, a stockholder of the wreck
ed store, remained in it until after
the crash and helped to bring out
the three ladies. Mr.. w. NJ. Morton,
a customer, came out of the ruins
with one of the ladies. Many heroic
acts were done and every effort made
to rescue the unfortunate ones.
The building belonged to DR.. w. J.
McLendon and was being remodelled.
The cause of the wreck was excava-
tions being made underneath, and the
wet weather probably affected the
walls. The building was worth s5,-
600, and the loss to the drug COM
pany's stock is about $4,000.

Assault Case i'm BarnWell.

Barnwell, March 22.-There have
been only four cases tried this week
at the present term of the court of
general sessions for Barnwell, which
resulted in one conviction and three
acuuittals. Smith Brown, white, who
was charged with criminally assault
ing a girl, also white, was acquitted.
The jury deliberated on this case all
night, only one man holding out for
conviction, it is understood. Only
those vitally concerned in this case
were admitted to the court room.
The case seemed to rest almost en-
tirely as to whether or not the girl
was under IA years of age.
