AN ATOM A SMALL WORLD.

In paper concerning the functions of the
minute electrical charges In the chemical combi-
nation Of atoms, delivered by Prof. William Al
bert Noyes Of the University Of Illinois, before
the National academy at Washington he said that
for century the atom was the ultima thule Of
smallness for scientists. Now they know that
each atom is a complex system similar to our
sun and its planets, that is, with central body
and from one to hundred smaller bodies revolv-
ing around 1t. The differences between hydro
gen, oxygen, iron, gold, radium etc. are all in the
electrical charge Of the central nucleus and in the
number and arrangement Of these little satellites
of their atoms

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.

Two newspaper changes Ol WOie
than ordinary interest have occurred
in North Carolina recently. First in
order, Mr.. Tom Bost announced two
weeks ago that he found it necessary
to give up editing the State Journal,
and that he would devote himself as
of old to exclusive service to the
Greensboro Daily News. In making
the announcement Mr.. Bost said that
when he blithely entered upon the
work of editing the Journal his idea
was to merely write the editorials,
but as time passed on he had to take
over one job after another on the
paper until he found himself the
whole works-editor, proof-reade1
circulation manager. advertising 1nan-
ager and what-not-and he'd be hang
ed, or words to that effect, if he'd
stand it
The other change concerns the
Statesville Landmark, which for more
than quarter of century has en-
ioyed the distinction of being the best
edited weekly, first, and, in recent
years, semi-weekly, in the State. In
deed, if there is better editor paper
anywhere we are unacquainted with it.
In one of its issues last week Editor
r. r. Clark announced that he had
sold the paper to Mr.. Pegram A.. Bry-
ant, who has been with the paper for
II years. Mr.. Bryant was editor OF
The Robesonian for year, about
twelve years ago. and is good news
paper man. Mr.. Clark will continue
as editorial writer, and as he will be
free from the burders of The manage
ment he will no doubt give better
service in that respect than hereto
fore.
That is, it looks like that would be
the natural conclusion, but it is hard
to see how that is possible. The edi-
tor of The Ro6esonian feels almost
like he has suffered personal loss in
the fact that Mr. Clark has sold the
paper. He got his first newspaper
experience under Mr.. Clark. and form
ed for him then. during more than a
year Of close association, warm af-
lection that has grown through tie
years. Those who know Mr.. Clark
esteem him most. The man is ali
manhood and truth and sincerity and
honesty and fidelity to trust. There
is not little or mean thing about his
makeup. And the Landmark has for
more than 25 years been SO much a
part of the man, he has poured so
lavishly all that was best in him into
1t, that the decision to sell it is bound
to have cost him severe pang. His
only reason for selling was that his
strength would not allow him to keen
up the pace at which he has driven
and ne had to ease the burden that
ne might "carry on" at all. The
change gives pang of regret to the
editor of The Robesonian and he homes

1t is but the beginning, but from

U. S. Page Captures a Big Whis-
key Still.
Chief of Police u. S. Page of Mount
Olive is a son of Mr.. E. E. Page of
Lumberton. The following from last
weeks Goldsboro Record will be of in
terest tomany Robesonian readers.
One of the largest and most COM
plete illicit whiskey still outfits that
has been known to be in operation in
this section-and some large ones
have been taken recently-was captur-
ed and destroyed at point seven miles
east of Mount Olive, known as the
Pate place.
The raid was made by Mount Olives
wide-awake and plucky terror to evil
doers. Chief of Police Page, assisted
by Deputy Sheriff j. H. Loftin, and
several special deputies.
Chief of Police Page was informed
that the still was in operation at the
above location by people of the neigh
borhood who had been disturbed by
it's operations. Saturday morning
about 3 o'clock he and his deputies
started out and had not gone far be-
fore they located the outfit.
The fire was still burning in the fur
mace when the officers arrived on the
scene, and although there was no one
at the still at the time, it was evident
that charge of whiskey had only
recently been run off, as the "slops"
were still warm.
After the raiding party had torn
down the still and hauled away all the
appurtenance thereto belonging, in
cluding the cap, worm, molasses, ETC.,
the officers set out to find the owner
or operator.
After little careful surveying they
found path, and following this, with
molasses strown along same for a
guide, it led to the home of Mr.. T..
B. Mcknight. Here the officers, so
we are informed, found about ten gal
Ions of new corn whiskey-which we
learn was not poured out-and there
was also evidence that quantity was
poured out before the officers arrived
on the scene,
Chief Page took Mr.. Knight into
custody and carried him to Mount
Olive where he gave bond for his ap-
pearance at later hearing.
