When Newspaper Men do Smile.


Newspaper readers frequently
call attention to typographical
errors, and are somewhat given
to saying that they don't see
how such a mistake occurred
The wonder is that so few mis-
takes do occur. The Philadelphia
Public Ledger recently revived
the story that the Oxford edition
OF the Bible was read and re-
read ten times, and that immedi
ately after it's publication a re-
ward of so pounds was offered to
any one who should discover a
Typographical blunder. One was
found in the first chapter of Gen
essls. There is another tradition
that the man who read proofs
of the Lords Prayer for that
edition went insane for fear he
would make a mistake.
One of the great dictionaries
published in this country. Al
standard authority, was read in
proof eleven times, and some of
of the most learned men in the
United Statess were constantly
engaged in revising it, yet typo
graphical errors still may be
found in the completed work
Blunder in publications or ordi
nary books, no matter from what
publishing houses, are common,
though they are carefully read
and re-read.
In a newspaper plant, opera
tors of typesetting machines set
from the original copy" con-
siderable speed must be main
tanned, proof is taken of the mat
ter thus set and is read-never
more than twice-by proof
reader, who marks on the margin
such corrections as may be nee
essary. The lines marked are re-
set, new lines of type are sub
stituted for those in which er-
rors were found. Then the type
goes into the form and impress
sion is made.
Therefore, newspaper men
smile when they hear, NJ don't
see how such a mistake occur.

A Transparent Trick.

Mr.. Alfred Noyes, the young
English writer of clever verse
may be forgiven the boast tha!
he is making poetry pay" for
in our time shrewd advertising
seems to be a necessary part of
an ambitious bard's campaign
to capture the attention of an
Indifferent and doubtful public.
But Mr.. Moves tries the patience
of discerning readers when he
announces that Poe was not q
poet and expresses surprise that
Tennyson and Browning are
still in favor instead of being
tossed into the literary scrap
heap where they belong.
This is merely a repetition of
the well known advertising me-
thod of Bernard Shaw who made
himself the talk of the English
speaking world less by his un-
deniably clever plays of a more
or less than shocking type than
by his public and pretendedly Sc
rious declaration that his own
productions were far superior to
all previous pioneer efforts, in
Guiding those of the immortal
bard of Stratford-onn- Avon.
Venturesome advertising of this
sort pays because even an intel
ligent public likes to be startled
and amused. But it can pay

North Carolina And Roads.


The South Carolina legislature
Just adjourned did not see fit to
go into the road building busi-
ness, as it will have to do before
many years, by the creation of
a state highway commission.
but that is no reason why such
agencies as may be employed
should not continue their activi-
ties in the direction just as en-
ergetically as they have in the
past.
South Carolina does not have
to go further than just over the
line into North Carolina to see
what stimulus can be given
highway building by a state or
ganization. In that state DR..
Joseph Hyde Pratt, as president
of the highway commission, with
those whom he has enlisted
with him in the cause, has ac-
complished great results. The
influence of this organization is
largely responsible for the road
building that has been done in
that state, and it is still working
faithfully in every part of the
state to inspire greater interest
in highways.
The other evening at the an
nual meeting of the Asheville
Motor club DR.. Pratt was the
principal speaker, and in the
course of his address he placed
emphasis on the one idea that
The Herald has been trying to
hammer into the people of Spar
tanburg county for months
and that is good maintenance.
In North Carolina they call it
the patrol system; in Spartan
burg county we have been calling
it the split-log dsag system. But
hear DR.. Pratt who has had as
much, if not more, experience
in road building than any other
man in this part of the country.
You have been, he said, con-
structing good roads in Bun
combe county for the past ten
or fifteen years, and yet in that
time, perhaps, not a single mile
of road has been maintained.
Of course you have made re-
pairs of roads at various times,
but there is a difference between
maintenance and repairs. The
road toward Fairview has been
repaired at cost of, say, $500 a
mile per year. With the patrol
he declared, this road could have
been maintained with about $3.50
a mile expenditure, meaning a
saving of $3.50 mile to the
county by proper maintenance.
The patrol system has been
inaugurated on the Capital high
way from Petersburg to Fayet-
teville, N. c., and Engineer Win
slow, of the government road
department, is in charge. At the
time the patrol system was in
augurated it was impossible for
an automobile to go over the road
in winter time. Since the patrol
system was put in force Engin-
eer Winslow has gone over the
entire length of the highway in
his Ford automobile every week
during the year, keeping the
road in splendid condition all the
time. When it SHOWS, he said,

of today.
The future of this village rests
upon the boys of this village.
and the boys will develop into
the sort of men their environ
men has fashioned them to be.
There are fine, manly boys in
town-many of them. They
have sense, manners, ambition.
They are clean of speech, not too
arrogant, and quick to learn.
But there are others. There
are boys, not half through their
teens, who are hardened to ev.
cry vice known to maturity. I
will not say they are depraved
That is hard, uncompromisinp
word. There is another word
that describes them with sinpu-
lar and pleasing exactitude-
nasty. They are nasty.
Before going auy further. let
us admit that all fathers of bows
are vastly conceited. They fear
their boys will not turn out as
well as they have. In effect this
is to say: "At your age, Son, |
was rough, also. Now | am a fine
clean man, but Pm afraid YOU
can't do what | have done" That
is the attitude of nearly all
fathers.
Now let us get back to the
boys.
Is it their fault, and their
fault only, that they drink cheap
Whlskey, smoke cigarettes, tell
filthy stories, and endanger their
health with even lower vices?
Is it their fault that they
spend uncounted hours, during
the day and at night, on the
street in company with older
men from whom they absorb
niue that Is good?
Put a pup in a box with a
piece of meat. Whose fault is il
if the meat is eaten? Surely not
the pups! He has no sense of
duty and responsibility, and he
has an appetite.
Boys are what environment
and training make them.
Once in while the mongrel
blood will show in a boys ac-
tions despite training and clean
surroundings. But such cases are
rare.
These vicious boys have par

they are given food, clothing

you and | need do is to help foot

But my heart goes out to the
poor little half-grown chaps who
are developing rotten spots mere
ly because their so-called parents
lack the back bone, sense and de-
cency to train and properly de-
velop them.
If | should say that these boys

ALLEGE PROMOTION CONTRACT
First Gun Fired in Effort to Break
3oc Oil Contracts.

Jake i. Hamon, as minority stock
holder, through Stuart, Cruce &
Cruce, Thos. Norman, and Ledbetter
& Adams, filed suit Friday afternoon
against the Bull Head Oil company,
E. Dunlap, j. S. Mullen, j. Robert
Gillian, Thomas II. Dunn, l.. S. DOl-
man, as directors Of the Bull Head
Oil company and the Producers Re
lining company, seeking to set aside
and cancel the contract heretofore
made by the Bull Head Oil company
with the Producers Refining company.
This case involves the validity of
what is commonly known as the
Gainesville contract, and it is sought
to set aside the contract, and to
enjoin the officers and directors of
the Bull Head Oil company from
carrying out the same, for all of
the following reasons:
l. The petition alleges that the
signatures of all the signing pro-
ducers to the Gainesville contract
were procured by fraud practiced on
the signing producers.
?. The petition alleges that the pur-
ported contract with the Gainesville
Refinery is void, for the reason that
the pretended contract was beyond
the power of the various domestic
producers signing the same, for the
reason that these signing producers
to the Gainesville contract were them
selves engaged in producing and sell
ing of oil, and were authorized to
build refineries, pipe lines to trans
port oil; that each of said signing
producers was a competitor of the
other; that the practical effect of
the agreement had with the Produc-
ers Refinery was TO create a monopoly
and for the suppression of competition
and was contrary to the laws of Okla
homa. .
8. That the contract was in viola
tion of the conservation laws of the
state of Oklahoma, and the policy Of
the same.
4. That the Bull Head Oil company
was without authority under their

New Company Organized.

The Steiner-Sykes Oil company has
been organized here with a capital
stock of $4,000 The stockholders
are r. l.. Steiner, c. Il. Sykes, b. b.
Jones, Robert Gillian, p. c. Dings,
n. B. Feagin, Mark Kirkpatrick and
J. A. Bass. 1t is probable that r.
L. Steiner will be at the head of the
company as president. These people
have holdings in section 1928 and
in S-2-3, in the Fox district, and a
well will be begun within short time
in section s. Mr.. Sykes, who Is in
the lumber business, has been award
ed the contract to haul out the rig
timbers at once. The company also
takes over what is known as the
King-Hivick property in section 1881
in the northeast edge of the Healdton
pool.
This company is made up of ag'
gressive oil men, and they will not
await the development of the Gypsy
and Fox Pool wells before they enter
the Fox district with the drill.

THlRTY.CENT OIL RUINOUS.
Negotiations for Compromise Between
Refinery and Producers


ArdmOre producers who signed up
with the Producers Refining Company
to deliver oil for two years at soc a
barrel, are making efforts to get from
under the contract which they say is
ruinous to them. Under the contract
they must sell a certain amount of oil
at sec while as high as 9Oc is being
paid for some oil that is being run to
pipe lines and oil that is placed in
storage is selling for s1.00. Looking
to the best interests Of those who en-
tered into the contract to sell cheap
oil, a member of company which
entered into contract, wrote letter
to the Kansas City office of the Pro
ducers Refining Company stating in
substance that the contract called for
oil TO be sold at a ruinous price and
suggesting as a compromise that the
producers would run to the refinery
enough oil at soc a barrel to pay for
the stock subscribed and then give
the refinery the stock, provided the
refinery would release the producers
from further obligations.
Upon the receipt of the letter +. II.
Thwing and II. NJ. Evans of Kansas
City came here and conference was
held. A counter proposition is said
to have been made by Messrs. EVANS
and ThNing which offered to release
the producers from the contract pro-
vided they would deliver oil at soc to
pay the stock out and give the stock
to the refinery and besides deliver oil
to the refinery on the soc contract for
period of ten months and then give
the Producers Refining Company a
preference right to purchase the pro-
duction of the companies at the posted
price for period of two years. AS
we understand it, these are about the
propositions that have been made
by each party to the controversy and
the prospects are that neither side will
accept the offer made by the other
and one suit has already been filed
in an effort to break away from the
contract 1t is probable, if the refin-
ing company would leave the produc-
ers free to sell their oil where they
please after ten months, that the pro-
ducers would accept it,
