15 YEARS LATER

He took the usual four years at Transylvania, a historic seat of learning turned sectarian some years ago. then soaked up law at Ken lucky University. Never a freshman class came in nor senior class went out during the time he was there without Chandler knowing we have this from very good sources practically every member.
 His memory for names and faces is phenomenal. Postmaster General Farley is equally apt at it, and per haps superior He has had longer time to practice But if Happy doesn't waste away his political tal- ents in a frantic pursuit of the presi- dency, he will make somebody some time a grand travelling advocate, either as National Chairman or Postmaster General.
 Here is a sample. A student from rival school met Chandler fairly often at Lexington, where Transyl- vania is situated. Later the fellow became a reporter, grew a nous tache, acquired poise and polish from foreign travels, and came back to encounter Chandler at national convention Is years later.
 He not only called the fellows name but leased him about some forgotten college frivolity. More over, Mrs. Chandler, who does well enough at the business, had learned something about the re- porter's old college sweetie, who didn't become his wife.

OpIE READ DIES TO-DAY
 IN CHICAGO
Last of Pioneer American Literary Line, Pass
 es Away

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 2. -Opie Read, last of the pioneer Ameri- can literary line which included Twain, Field and Riley, died today at his home of infirmities induced in September by the extra heat. He would have been ST on De- cember p.
 Opie Read was still in his thirties when critics began to call him the foremost delineator of southern character.
 He had scarcely entered upon his most fertile period of writing when he and Eugene Field were nomin- ated as .'the two brightest stars" in Chicago's literary galaxy.
 Back in the eighties wherever newspapers were read, the planta- ton songs and stories of Opie Read were familiar. Melodies remember ed from his own plantation boy hood, folk tales of the Tennessee hills and quaint darky dialogues seemed to flow from his heart to his pen. Soon the editors through out the land were quoting odd bits from his Arkansas Traveller"
 Offered S10O Week
 Read and the Traveller became synonymous. It is related that when he scarcely was 30 an eastern magazine offered him $l00 a week to become it's editor. But Read happy with his own mouthpiece, could not bear to abandon it.
 He had worked for the Frank lin, Ky, Patriot in 1873 and paid his tuition through Neophogen Col lege by setting type on the col lege paper. In turn he became edi- tor of the Little Rock Gazette and the Cleveland Leader before set ting down with Philo D, Benham at Little Rock in 1882 to launch the Traveller on it's humorous jour nalistic course.
 The Traveller took quick hold upon it's readers and in 1887 Read

PEDESTRIANS DESERVE PROTECTION

8 ~ Z
Statistics show that forty per cent OF
all traffic accidents are suffered by
pedestrians.
This. is not hard to understand when
one considers that most highways have
been constructed without regard to the
rights of pedestrian travel. The roads
were built for automobile and truck use
and the average pedestrian has to use the
highways at great peril.
It is about time for highway officials
to give consideration to pedestrians and
provide safe avenues of travel for those
who must go on foot. The fact that auto
mobile owners pay for highways does not
alter the dangers that heavy traffic creates
for those who happen not to be riding at
fast speeds.
When the railroads began to operate
through the land they were required to
adopt and install safety devices to. protect
the public The same obligation rests up
on automobile traffic and inasmnch as the
government is in control of highway con-
struction there ought to be adequate pro-
visions for the safety of foot-traveliers.

BON VOYAGE!

Community life in Key West the last
ten days has been, enliVened by the pres
ence of 400 officers and mem of the. 265th
Regiment, Coast Artillery, Florida Ma
tional Guard In their,little spare time the
men of the regiment appeared to enjoy the
city and the people and our citizens have.
only commentator for the young civilian
soldiers. It was pleasant occasion, with
no regrets on either hand.
The rattle and rumble of the guns at
Fort Taylor are familiar sounds to native
Key Westers. They know what to expect
from the artillery pieces when the National.
Guard comes here annually for their tour
of service duty or when the regular army
artillerymen perform target practice But
to the visitor and the tourist. the guns in
many cases were something they had
never seen in action. The ocean water
front during target practice this week and
last week was lined with spectators.
Probably the most interesting phase
of the annual appearance of the guards
men is the band concerts. The 265th Regi-
ment has a fire musical organization. The
music they rendered. under the baton of
Warrant Officer Caesar LaMonaca of Mi
ami was of high order. It combined classi-
cal and popular numbers to meet a cross
section of musical tastes. The concerts
were a treat to all classes of people in
this community Given at the military
reservation adjacent to Fort Taylor, the
concerts were easily accessible to- every
one. Too often military bands perform
only on military reservations which cam
not be reached by the general public. The
265th Regiment wisely avoided that mis-
take here, with the result that Key West
ers thoroughly enjoyed the music.
Majority of the guardsmen hail from
the upper end of the state. They are leav-
ing late today via steamship for Tampa,
where they will entrain for their homes in
Jacksonville, Pensacola and other points.
The citizens, of Key West hope they have
pleasant trip. Our people are thankful no
serious accident married the arduous train
ing schedule of the 265th
Bon voyage, National Guardsmen

THRIFT ADVERTISING

In report just made public by Fed
eral financial agency it was shown that the
newspaper was the favorite advertising
medium of American building and loan,
savings and other thrift institutions
throughout the country during 1888.
More than five times as much adver-
Using of this character was carried in
newspapers as in any other medium, and it
approximately equalled the amount spent
in all other forms of advertising COM
bined.
This is the second survey of its kind,
and confirms the findings for the previous
year. The 1888 study was made with the
cooperation of 8S5 representative institu-
tons in all parts Of the United States. The
report included the following para
graph:
'sThe favorite medium of nearly all
business concerns is the newspaper. Saw
ings and loan associations are no excep-
ton to this rule, as more than nine out Of
every 10 associations used newspapers to
reach prospective borrowers and inyes-
tors.

Sam Joe Smith, Jr., of Whitakers,
who has just been elected president
of the University of North Carolina'S
Glee Club, is no sooner in office than
a dilemma overtakes him. It's Sam
JOS business to arrange spring
schedule for the University Glee
Club. Sam 10 has been working few
erishly at this particular job and ten
tative engagements have been made
through the cooperation of organiza-
tons il " .iniN ton, rocky Mount,
Beaufort, Greenville, Wilson. But
Sam 10 must clinch these dates and
land one, two or more, or else there
will be no spring tour for the Caro-
lima singers. Amiable John E. Toms,
the club director, like Sam 10, is
plainly worried, too. The club recent
ly returned from successful South
ern tour That might satisfy most
singers, but not these Carolina music
makers. They feel that East Carolina
must be conquered this spring. And
10 is hoping some more towns will
come along and offer the club dates.
