THE CUB REPORTER
GOT GOOD NEWS

A young reporter on the Journal
came in with an empty note book one
day last week and told the city editor
there was no news.
mo news is good news TO anyone
but the news editors of daily paper"
said the aggrieved city editor: tomor-
row make some copy even IL your
news is all small stuff, but don't re-
port no news"
The reporter passed the larger part
of the following day seeing nothing
that seemed of interest, and only the
city editors remark, mo news is good
news" saved the day for him. That
night he passed in a lot OF good news
and his copy read as follows:
Nothing unfortunate happened In
Augusta, Tuesday; everything ran
along smooth as black ice. The Jour-
nal reporter learned of no street car
accidents during the day. Hundreds
of Augusta people crossed the trolley
tracks, but none Of them were struck
by the cars.
The firemen had pleasant day at
home: there was not fire in the city.
Thousands Of houses stood the entire
day without breeding a blaze and all
the public buildings and business
blocks got through the day unscathed.
The city hospital reported all it's
beds vacant except those occupied by
convalescents and the local physicians
said there had been no accidents or
serious Illness during the day. All
their patients were doing well.
There were no arrests; the conduct
of the populace was most commend
able. The police and county officers
had a day off so far as actual work is
concerned. A visit amongst the law
yers disclosed no new quarrels, and no
divorce suits or suits for assault and
battery were started.
There was no travel in or. out dur
ing the day except by those who had
perfect right to come and 60 as they
chose The movements at the depot
during the day were distinguished by
no untoward action nor the passage
OF any important parsonage.
So far as can be learned. no one
died during the day. The Journal re-
porter. inquired of several whom he
had been hoping for some time to
write elegies for how they felt, and
all said they were o. X. and probably
would not die for some time.

Range Contest Now
Center of Attention

With less than a week remaining in
which contestants may improve their
standing the Journals Range Contest
holds the center of attention. Not on
ly are the contestants themselves
deeply interested in the outcome, but
their friends are taking a great inter-
est with them and whole communities
are following the standing of the con-
testants with unusually close atten-
ton.
The leaders in the contest have evil
IDENTIFY worked hard and consistently
FROM the very start and intend to
keep up the pace until the close. And
from start to finish the contest wAl
soon have proved to be one in which
the hardest work won the coveted
prize, as in every fair and just con-
test.
There is still time to do some hard
work, and the opportunity for those
who have not yet put in some earnest
efforts is much greater than for. those
who have been working hard for many
days, for the leaders have almost ex-
hausted the prospects before them
when they started in, whereas, there
are withou. doubt many prospective
subscribers to the Journal who can
be successfully approached by con-
testants who have failed thus far to
solicit their subscriptions.
Those who have friends in the con-
test ard are not themselves entered
should not forget their duty to them.
A little time spen in helping may re-
suit in friends winning stove, and
no one is going to Withhold from q
friend a few hours of time that may
result IN such good service.
