A North Carolina Woman Editor.

(Fron the Editor and Publisher.)
Miss Beatrice Cobb. editor and pub
Usher OF the Morganton \. c. News
Herald. has the distinction OF win
ming her spurs in state which is
noted for conservative thought. The
Old North State never surrendered
on the question of giving the vote TO
women and the majority OF the people
down there are and were opposed TO
such a new-fangle0 idea. But their
conservatism never fea2ed Miss Cobb
who in five years has climbed to a
secure position as progressive news
paper editor.
Miss Cobb fell heir TO a weekly
paper, which was owned and publish
ed by her father and since the day
that she took hold, II has been one
OF the liyest weekly papers in the
state. She is the only woman mem
Der of the North Carolina Press AS
soeiation and no program for meet
ing OF that body is considered COM
plete unless she is down for an ad-
dress.
Miss Cobb is the whole works
on her paper and runs il without
anybody's help or assistance. She
has an up-to-date job printing estab-
lishment-in fact everything is up
to-date. the editor being most up-to-
date. She attends all sorts OF meet
ings of her brother editors and that
accounts for her being in New York
this week. She is up to learn what
the other fellow is doing-and will.
Beside running her paper, Miss
Cobb comes pretty near running the
town of Morganton. which is one of
the oldest in the state. She publishes
the only paper in Burke county, and
when she says a bond issue is all
right, the voters are sure TO back up
her judgement. She is the towns
adviser and mentor and the county's.

school Children Got Intoxicated From
Eating Candy.

Candy thought to contain whiskey
was the cause of making severa
children at the Charlotte South school
intoxicated the other day, says
Charlotte dispatch The father OF one
of the children affected brought some
candy home from Chicago. His boy
took some Of the candy to school
giving it TO friends. The children
eating the candy became unconscious
all being affected alike, and all In
a state Of intoxication. Pieces of the
candy were ground TO pulp anc
this brought out the smell OF rye
Vhiskey.
II was considered possible that the
system for putting rye whiskey into
tablet form" had been invented and
was brought home by the father un-
knowingly. Or. Mcphaul was un
able to understand. however, how
alcohol could be retained in the candy
when exposed TO the open. Never.
theless the tablets had the smell oi
rye whiskey, and had virtually the
same effect on the children that
few drinks Of rye would have on a
man, II was said.
The tablets were about the size oil
a cough drop. None OF the children
could explain to DR.. McPhaul what
the tablets tasted like, and he could
not induce any one about the health
office to eat piece.

And | just thought ii was a sight
Now this is my reply to YOU,
And | will try to make it true:
We wear clothes that suit the year,
Now wouldn't we look nice TO wear
A coat. vest, collar and tie
In the hot months of July?
Girls are more advanced than men
We change our styles now and then
But men are just content TO wear
Just the same, from year to year
Now | think, ii truth was known,
believe you men would own
That you like to see us dressed
In our very latest best!
We may not like the way you go
But are too polite to tell you so.
Then I'll quit, for I'll be through.
Little boy, you look so slight
Why wear your pants so tight?
And that horrid, pinch-bacK coat
That's a thing that gets my goat!
In the Summer. when it's waril,
We very thinly clad our form.
But in the Winter when ii SHOWS
Why, sure, we wear some under
clothes!

Had IL not been for young Boston
publisher, J. p. Jewett, who took the
risk in its book publication In 1858

would have been unknown to fame.
He arranged publication on a 1000

RED.HE.tDED GENIUS
Belief That Few Men With Titan
Locks Have Reached Eminence.

Few great geniuses have red halr,
according TO the Investigations OF cN-
perts. Almost alone among the poets
was Swinburne, whose hair was red
dish, and among the reformers only
John Bunyan's hair was red. The
fiaxen-haired blond, or the man whose
hair when he Is an adult is pure yell
low, also is said to be unlikely TO
possess genius. The only case known
is that of Thackeray. whose hair IS
described as yellow. A careful re-
view has been made OF the bi-
ographies of most of the eminent men
of the world. and Kaasel has tabu-
lated the results of his work. SO far
as the color of the hair is concerned.
Dark brown to black is the prevail
ing hue on the heads of great men.
A list of fifty names has been COM
piled in which the color Of the hair
is given by hiographers, and 500 are
dark brown or black. The structure
of the hair, whether straight or curly,
is given on twenty-six of the kaasel
list of geniuses, and of these all but
four possess curly or wayy hair. II
Is notable that of the remaining four
Napoleon and President Jackson were
the two remarkable for "wiry hair
