PROCESS OF WRITING.
Like Laying Track, Along Which Au-
thor Takes the Reader.

The process Of writing consists of
laying a track of words, along which
the author conducts the reader with
put together neatly and s%killfully the
reader glides along without jolt or jar,
and If the elevations and depressions
are arranged with care, so that monot-
ony may be avoided. the pleasure of the
trip is still further increased.
Many writer's revel in "apt allitera-
tons artful aid'' and take an unfair
advantage of the reader by ceaseless
syllabication promiscuously and perni-
ciously pandering, with reckless ro-
domontade to surfeited senses.
Others adopt a rugged, uneven, jolt
ing method. placing their words in
hard, jagged, staccato rows, hurting
their meaning at you in irritating cres-
cendos, humping you up and down.
making hard edges which jar your ear
and rasp your consciousness discord-
antly. rubbing you crosswise.
And others still, with stately pomp.
firmly welded to well balanced peri
DDS, march with rhythmic step along
/ their formal path. No frivolity de-
tiers them, no joyous and inconsequen-
tial lightness disturbs them. no folly
mars their posture. but with dignified
carriage, their banners flying in the
sun, they journey onward, the distant
horizon -reverberating to their trium-
phal progress.
Then we have the mincing, delicate.
ly constructive writer. who deals in
mosaics. A feminine little air of pre-.
cislon is his %pervading essence. Caper-
ing nimbly to the dulcet phrase, he
never descends below his sbrill treble,
but scatters his nice little r%efinements
about him like a lace adorned bride.
In the meantime the unhappy reader
asks for nothing better than not to
know that the writer has n style.
This does not mean that the style is
unimportant. 1t means only that the
reader is primarily interested in what
the writer has to show him. and the
writer's style may be considered per
feet when it never obtrudes itself on
the readers attention.
1t is on the same principle that the
best dressed man is the man whose
clothes you never ice.-Thomas L
Mason in Lippinco. s.

EVE

Representative Burleson of Texas In
bringing up the question of a new plan
of representation In future national
conventions said his object was to cut
down the size TO which these conven-
tons have grown. He said that he
felt this change would conduce to an
increased party interest in the congress
sional fights in states, with a view to
holding or obtaining stronger represen-
tation in the national conventions.
According to the Burleson plan, there
would be one delegate from each con-
gressional district, but districts repre-
scented in congress by a Democrat
would be entitled to an additional dele
gate or two delegates TO a Democratic
congressional district. IL a state is
represented in the senate by W Dem
ocratic senators 1t would have four
delegates at large; If by n Democrat
and one Republican. it would have
three at large. and If represented by
two Republicans only two delegates at
large. The representation for a ter
ritory would be the same as for a state
at large.

FRENCH R~ATTLEsHIPs

The designers Of battleships for
France seem to be following the gen.
eral lines of the British constructors
in the building program of this year.
An exception is in point of tonnage,
the new French ships exceeding the
tonnage Of the British vessels of the
Orion class, the displacement of which
is 22,6S0 tons. France is placing ten
1874 inch guns on the new ships as a
primary armament, mounted on five
twin gun t%urrets, all placed on the
center line after the Orion model.
These guns are of slightly less caliber
than the British 1875 inchers, though
the French ships will be larger by over
1000 tons.
The new French ships will be 541
feet long and IS feet 6 inches broad.
Their speed will be twenty knots. The
time for building and completing is to
be three years compared with the two
years of the British builders.

H r SUPPLY

Joseph Sellwood of Duluth told the
Stanley committee that the Lake Su-
perior ore region contains 1,400.OOo.OO0
tons Of available ore, of which about
$50, 900, 900 tons, excluding the Hill
ores, are controlled by the United
States Steel corporation. Steel manu-
~facturers were inclined to dispute the
ore experts figures, as it is generally
known that the steel corporation al
ways has claimed at least 1,000,0O0,000
tons Of available northern ore. At the
rate of consumption over the last few
years 650,0O0,0O0 tons of ore would
mean less than twenty-five years of
life for United States Steel. If the
steel corporation controls that amount
of ore out of a total of 1,400,0O0,00
tons its holdings represent but 46 per
cent of the total.
Commissioner Of Corporations Smiths
report gives the total available iron ore
deposits of the north as around $780,
100000 tons.
Don II. Bacon's statement to the eff
feet that there is a vast amount of un-
discovered ore in the United States is
supported by steel manufacturers.

GREAT WIRELESS FEAT

Three enormous wireless towers are
being constructed by the government
near Fort Myer. Va. These towers
will be the central station for the
greatest wireless project ever contem-
plated by any government. Through
them and with the aid of the re-
mainder of the system the United
States government will be able to talk
with its battleships and stations near
" all over the world. The highest tow
er will be $50 feet high. and the two
smaller ones will be 450 feet high.
Between these will be suspended the
wires which will receive the flashes
from as far west as San Francisco
and as far east as Africa.

WOMEN POLICE

Those women who have argued tina.
poIicewomen would be a desirable adj
junct to twentieth century progress
were delighted at the recent news that
the sex was to be represented on the
force at Annapolis, Md. At the same
time reports came that the advocates
of policewomen were making an im-
preston at Santa Monica, Cal. In
fact. the chief of police of the last
mentioned place advanced the idea of
naming clubwomen to enforce the cur
few law there. He said he regarded
women who are mothers and who have
succeeded in bringing up their own
children as well qualified for the duties
he had in mind.
Led by Mrs. Julia Goldzier, there
have been several attempts to launch
women police at Bayonne. N. j. Mrs
GoIdzier has been an indefatigable
worker to bring about this reform"
but the Bayonne city fathers have re-
NAMED adamant 10 her various ap-
peals ON this score.

TO ENTER BUSINESS HERE.
MIR. G. L. Robinson Sewers Connection
With Railroads. Purchasing > and
10 Cents Store.

Mr.. G. l.. Robinson, union station
ticket agent, will today sever his con-
nection with the railroads to go into
business in Newberry, having purchas-
ed the Anderson 5 and 10 cents store,
which he will continue at the same
stand. The taking of stock will be-
gin Immediately, and Mr.. Robinson
| will be ready to serve the public in
the next few days.
Mr.. Robinson came to Newberry in
the employ of the Southern railway
about eight years ago. He was pro-
NOTED to the position of union station
ticket agent In the discharge of the
trying and exacting duties of this
position, he has shown marked eff
cheney and by his fidelity to duty and
his uniform courtesy and considera-
ton he has not only won the conf
dence and high esteem of his en-
ployers, but he has made himself de-
servedly popular with the patrons of
the roads and the people of Newberry,
who will wish for him a great degree
of success in his business venture.
Had Mr.. Robinson remained in the
railway service, he would easily have
risen to more responsible positions,
in fact, having been offered promo
tions, but he found the work too con-
fning. General regret has been ex-
pressed by railway officials at his de-
cision to sever his connection with the
railroads.
Mr.. Robinson is peculiarly qualified
for the mercantile business, and New
berry is to be congratulated upon his
decision to remain in Newberry and
enter into business here.
Mr.. W. H. Anderson, who has been
manager of the Ten Cent store in New
berry, will not leave the city, but will
be with the Anderson Dry Goods store,
where he will be pleased to see his
many friends, and will serve them to
their interest. 1t is gratifying to Mr.
Anderson's many friends to know that
he will remain in the city.
Mr.. T. K. Nelson, of Sumter, will
take Mr.. G.. L. Robinsonis place as
ticket agent at the union station in
Newberry. Mr.. Nelson takes Cnarge
today.

A marriage which took.the public by
surprise was that of Mr.. Robert Mere
dith Lominack and Miss Ouida Sum-
mer, occurring in Columbia on Sun

age. Miss Summer had been visiting
her college mate, Miss Myrtle Roberts,
II miles below Columbia, and Mr..

friends of the young couple, both of
whom are very popular in their home
city. The bride is the attractive and
accomplished daughter of Mr.. G. B.
Summer and the groom is the efficient
bookkeeper at Purcell & Scott's. He
| is the son of Chief W. H. Lominack
and is held in esteem by all who know
him. His many friends congratulate
the happy groom On the success OF
his undertaking and welcome him and
