MIR. SNYDER Is ~oN THE JOB.
His Orphanage Plan l. an Inspiring
Example for Others Ca Follow.

tFTOm the Charlotte Observer
Union county has a superintendent
OF public welfare whose heart is in
the work. We doubt il there is an
other like him in the state He is
preacher = Rev. E. c. Snyder by
name - and We may best give
evidence TO the earnestness of his en-
deavors BY copying the brief editorial
story in The Monroe Journal. Re
marking upon the fact that he is
proving himself a competent and re-
soureeful superintendent. Il submits:
"Exasperated at the inability of the
state orphanages To take in the daily
increasing number OF parentless and
INDECENT children of this county, he
has hit upon the happy plan OF rent
ing the old Covlngton place. near the
outskirts OF the town, and taking up
on himself the responsibility OF car
ing and training from thirty to forty
orphans. All the monetary aid that
he seeks from the county is that the
commissioners pay the rent, an in
significant monthly sum compared TO
the possibilities for good with which
the scheme is pregnant
The Covington home upon which
Superintendent Snyder has made levy
rounded BY a number of acres of
good farm lands. which may be util-
lied to fine purpose in the develop
ing mission OF this improvised county
orphanage, for there are among the
prospective charges of Mr.. Snyder "a
number of strong, sturdy lads. their
ages ranging from nine TO fourteen,
and these are expected to make the
orphange farm blossom with corn,
grain and vegetables. Superintend-
ent Snyder will not neglect the edu-
cation requirements OF his wards and
will arrange TO send them to the
town graded schools. He asks no
increase in compensation. The county
commissioners giving him the home,
he will do the rest. BY this same
! token, We are TO anticipate that
Union county is destined TO book few
applications for the Jackson Train
/ ing school superintendent Snyder
seems TO be in the way of providing
that county with en- institution of its
own The Observer regards this en-
terprise on part of the Union county
superintendent of public welfare as
an inspiring example for superintend-
ents in general TO follow Al any
rate, the fact is established that
Union has a superintendent who has
proper conception of the opportu-
mites al his hand.

The MYSTERIOUS Whistle.

From Youths Companion.l
Almost every afternoon between
two and three O'Clock, in certain
part of the Piney Woods, you could
hear a loud harsh whistle that seem
ed to come from the forest on the
hill. There were few people in that
part of the Piney Woods; no one liy-
ed or worked on the hill. Moreover.
the whstling did not sound like a
human beings. The regularity with
which the whistle came day after
day, week after week. made the
negroes curious. So one afternoon
one of them climbed the hillside
alone; he heard the whistle, but he
could not find what caused II or
where il came from and became
alarmed. Another negro, who had
laughed at his story, climbed the hill
and became frightened in his turn.
The alarm spread to all the other
negroes. Finally old Uncle Abe beg
ged his white friend. "Marse John.
to 20 with him and try to learn what
caused the whistling. When the two
visited the mysterious spot they at
first heard nothing; Marse John be
gan to laugh al the negro and twit
him with being "scary." Then as
they turned back the whistling sud
denly began-apparently riSht De-
hind them. Marse John got oil has
horse. After a long search he found
that the sound came from a large
pine tree. Then he discovered vapor
blowing through hole made by a
hammer beetle. When he held a
lighted match before the hole, the
vapor promptly blew II out. He knew
then that the vapor was not gas but
air. But he could not guess where
the air came from or how 1t came to
be under such pressure. He grew
interested and sent Uncle Abe to get
an axe to cut the tree down. When
he felled the tree the whole rotten in
side of the stump blew out!
/ Even now Marse John does not
know for sure what caused the pres
sure, but he is close observer and
/ good reasoner, and he has theory
/ He thinks that the large straight tap
root of the pine reached to a cave IN
! the hill and tnat Wnen IL rotteu ~
made a passage by which the air In
the cave could reach the hollow
trunk. Then the beetle bored through
the live wood with the result tha'
when the air in the cave became
warm and expanded, the pressure
sent II through the fct'ea root up the
trnk and out of the beetle hole with
force enough to make a whistlins
sound
Probably Marse JOIN is right. The
soil of the region is thin and is under
lain with limestone, stone in whicf
caves are often found. The tree grew
on a ridge that runs north and soutf
and that consequently Is exposed al
day long to the heat Of he summer
sun. If the cave lies aoar enough
TO the surface so that The heat car
penetrate to il, it is likely that b!
two or three o'clock in the afternoon
the air in it is sufficiently expanded
to rush through the hole quite forci
bly, enough TO make whistlini
sound. The theory also explains sat
isfactorily why the tree did not WINS
tie on cloudy or cool days.
