THE VANISHING TITLE
Greensboro Daily Record)

Greensboro Daily Record
There was time IN this coun
try and especially in the Sou, h
when man, becoming the head of
a sizable plantation or business,
was usually called by some such
perfectly harmless and honorary
title as "Colonel." The Southern
colonel became familiar figure
IN the country ard was present
largely in the works of certain
popular authors a. we'll as in ac-
tual life.
In recent years we have seen a
change; titles are not so readily
bestowed. Where there were once
Judges" and "colonels" there are
now merely "miSters," the latter
being entirely sufficient in the
ave. age mind to convey any dis
tinction that may be regarded as
necessary.
In fact, it appears that the big
ger the man the more there is a
ndency to drop the mister" and
use just the plain name. Also it is
noticeable that men who use a
single name are much better
known as prominent figures in the
country than men who disting-
uished themselves by their initials.
The colonel" is rapidly fading,
not even the recently acquired
military titles, holding up under
the pressure. In a few years we
may reasonably expect to hear OF
Southern colonies only in story
books and in costume movies.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT

CARE OF THE SECRET
DRAWER, CONTINUED

1t is very strange, little Marauise,
how differently the accounts in the
newspapers and the real truth of
certain occurrences may be.
| suppose in your time you had no
newspapers, but ] am sure often
you in your heart knew that the
stories that were being told about
yourself and your reactions were
very different from what they really
were.
My party, on the outside, was a
most brilliant affair. Everyone
seemed very happy, but l could feel
there were so many under-currents,
which, followed out, would over
whelm and drag down to annihila-
tion all the superficial JOY of the
occasion.
In the first place, there seemed to
be a KIND of strained relation be-
tween Jack and Sydney, who had
come over to the party. Jack was
jovial, almost to extravaganza, and
one who knew him must have real
lied that this was not like my hus-
band at all.
Sydney, on the other hand, was
almost morose. rallied him once
or twice on being the deaths head

wondering if Sgd had told Jack that
he had sent me the letter Jack had

intuition that whatever it was that

pletely of these two men, concerned
me.

The new president is not in office
until four months, and the new Con-
gress not in session until II months
after election. Meantime, the de-
feated president and Congress con-
tinue to rule the country.
Why this enormous contrast in
mechanical efficiency? Just two
reasons. One is that ours was the
most advanced system in the world
in 1889. The other is that the roads
were bad, and there were no rail
roads or telegraphs in 1889. And
we have been taught that it is "un-
patriotic" to know anything about
government that has been found out
since that date.
