A few nights ago this editor, in company with number of other guests, was entertained at the home of Mr. W. y?. Bradley. Amongst those present was . ^ Mr. A. B. Veazey, Rural Route Inspector in this Congressional District. Mr. Veazey is from the North, and ? > we presume, like mo3t Northern peo pie is a nepuoiican. ic was pieasaut to note, however, to uote from his convernation that he fully sympathizes . %] with the Sooth in its problem. He advanced the idea that aside from ,the Booker Washington incident Presi- j;c.| dent Roosevelt would not have been v seriously objectionable to the Sonth; and he believes that despite the hostil- " 'i ity shown toward the President since the Booker Washington incident, be has no unkindly feeling for this people. Mr. Veazy is whole soul and congenial and is very much liked by those with whom his business has brought him in contact. He talks interesting- \ ly and takes a large and liberal view of the Booth's political policy. We hope he may come again soon and renew pleasant acquaintances. When Success is Failure.

When all sympathy has been crushed out of your nature by your selfish d& votion to your vocation. When you plead that you never have time to cultivate your friendship, politeness, or good manners. When you have lived a double life and practiced double-dealing. When it brings no message of cult- . v. * ure, education, travel, or of opportunities to help others.
