VAST INFLUENCE IN NATION
Newspaper Is Easily the Most Power
full Factor in the Life of a
Free People.

In the history of our country, prob
ably no single factor has exerted so
vast an influence over our social, po-
litical and economic development as
the newspaper. 1t is the molder of
public opinion, the powerful force that
shapes the life of the nation.
journalism is an art that may be
considered as old as printing itself.
Before the era of newspapers printed
information in regard to current hap
penings of public interest was distrib.
uted by means of news-letters and
circulars, which We're printed in
Venice, Cologne, Leipzig, Paris and
other cities.
The first printed newspaper I'M
doubtedly appeared during the fif-
teenth century, but there is no au-
thentic record as to its name or place
of publication. Different authorities
claim priority for papers published re-
spectively in Venice, London and
Nuremburg.

Sally, the
Cocker $ Daughter
BY BARBARA KERR
Copyright 1919, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndcate.)

Coke ovens, like mines, usually claim
both parents and their children. Now
and then one breaks away-one with
vision, who refuses to live and die
coker. Sally, daughter of Old Man
Winters, the oldest coker Of Greenbrier,
was born not only with vision of what
it would be like to live in the outside
world, but from some forgotten ances-
tress she had inherited beauty Of face
and figure and genius for being diff
ferent, living above her surroundings
and picking up, "the Lord only knows
which fum," as her mother would have
told you in her lazy, musical drawl,
little bits of civilization, crumbs Of cul-
ture, which she wore and reveled in as
though they were jewels.
The Greenbrier coke ovens were in
bend of the New river, and four miles
below, on the opposite side, were the
McSpadden ovens. Between the two
there had long been feud; boys were
not allowed to call on girls of the rival
camp. But love laughs at feuds, as it
does at the smith who ought to keep it
under lock and key. Sid Runey, of Nc
Spadden, was in love with Sally Win
tiers, though he knew that she was en-
gagged to Bud Hickman, of Greenbrier.
Sid in shy burst of confidence, had
admitted to Sally that he also had the
vision. Sickness in his fathers family
had kept him tied down, but some day
he was going to live in Sally's world OF
books, papers and pictures. Since then
there was a growing bond of interest
between them.
They met at dance in a mountain
schoolhouse, and Sid, regardless Of
Buds dark looks, had sought out Sally
again and again.
Finally, to punish Bud for his low
down manners, Sally openly told Sid

It'll not be me. Git!" And Sally lev.
eled the gun at him.
ooh, us Hickmans has tanned tiger
cats afore your time, Sally darlin', an

started toward Sids horse, but Sally's
gun shipped off a twig at his side. She
chuckled at his jump and profane ex-
plosion. Bud had taught her how to
shoot. With a shake of his feet Bud
ran down the path and she knew that
he would return with Greenbrier at his
heels.
Hurry, hurry, Sid" she implored.
II amt ever run from man yet.
When I begin it won't be Greenbrier
I'll go when you go along"
The reaction was sudden. Sally
looked at the wreck of her cherished
rocker and her hand for an instant
clutched her throbbing throat. In that
instant a picture passed before her
mental vision. In it were the Hickman
men, hard, masterful, hating mice
things" and the Hickman women,
brow-beaten, coarse and untidy, and
never in her life before had the thought
of q snuff stick in the corner Of the
mouth of woman so nauseated her.
"Will you, Sally?" She looked for a
full long minute into the tender, chival-
rous brown eyes of Sid.
'It'll mean the parson this afternoon.
Have you the price on your" she asked
crisply.

real tony lap supper and the parson

was over the mountain already-but
one more glance at the rocker decided
her.

Sid brought his horse up to the
porch while Sally got into her wraps,
then she sprang on behind him. And
though Bud did return with reinforce
ments and the mountain air-Was burn,
ed to a blue crisp, the McSpad had a
good steed and the clippers good start.
And Sally in another rocker, sits
contentedly on her little stoop and
watches the train go by, knowing that
soon it is to take her and hers over
the mountain. But in the meantime
old man Winters has forgiven them
and the families of Greenbrier and
McSpadden visit each other without
let or hindrance.
