How Editors GET Rich.

After a great deal of worry and
study we have at last figured out
how so many country editors get
rich. Here is the secret of their
success. There is child born in
tho neighborhood. The attending
physician gets $40. The editor
gives the loud.lunged youngster
great send-off and gets 80. It is
christened, and the minister gets
IS. and the editor gets 500. It
grows and marries. The editor
publishes another long-winded
flow cry article and tells~ dozen
different lies about 1.-THE beautiful
and accomplished bride =" The
minister gets $40 and a piece of
cake. The editor gets 5000 and q
request to carry the groom's sub.
scription account another year.
In the course of time she dies.
The doctor gets from $5 to 500,
the minister gets from IS to 500,
the editor publishes a notice of
death and an obituary two
columns long, lodge resolutions,
a lot of poetry and q card of
thanks and gets 10000. The SUBJ
scriber then having all he can OBJ
tain from the editor marks the
paper ''refused" and lives happily
ever after. No wonder 80 many
country editors get rich.-Ex.

Chauffeur Saves Lite by Leap From Win

Lenoir, April 25 The 75.horse.
power roadster of W. ]. Grandin,
president of the Watauga Railway
Company, was completely de-
stroyed by fire yesterday morning
at the old Austin mill, near Pat.
terson. Walter Holder. chauffeur
for Mr.. .Grandln, had driven the car
out in the->sarly morning for d
squirrel hunt and left it under a
shed at the mill. This aes came
very near costing Mr.. Holder his
life, and only by mere chance was
the life of one of his children, who
accompanied him, saved also.
The car was driven foremost
into the shed, which was SO mar
row that Mr.. Holder had to crawl
over the car to crank it, and as he
did go without warning it blazed
up in flames and there was no ave.
nue. of escape for the young man
but q window and he leaped for
this and to safety to the ground,
about Is feet below. Had it not
been for the window Mr.. Holder
would have been destroyed by the
flames, which flashed like powder
from the so gallons of gasoline in
the tank. Through fore-thought,
he left his little child on the
ground. instead of placing her in
the car before cranking it. If
this had been done, she could not
have possibly been saved.
The car was very valuable one
valued at So 500, and it and the
mill were totally destroyed. 1t ia
understood that it was partially
covered by insurance.

II Beats Them All

The business world apd all tho
balance of the world is accustom.
I'D to hearing excuses, but the
railroads in the matter of freight
determinations against North
Carolina are putting up one that
beats them all. It says if 1t
lowers rates for North Carolina
on q level with the Virginia rates,
it will have to do the same thing
in other states of the south. In
other words, it has been swlndling
North Carolina and now that it
must quit, it wants to try to keep
on swindling the other states.
Gentlemen of the railroads, it
won't work. The public is on to
your game; it required years 60

learned and schools out.-Greens-
