We observe that the Augusta Chronicle, like The News, has a printer who insists on spelling occasion with a superfluous "s". Georgians learned at least one lesson from the recent firemen's strike: That it is possible to enforce prohibition by stooping the running of all trains. The Philadelphian from whose stomach a couple of silver spoons were recently removed by a surgical operation was probably one of Beast Butler's camp followers. w A German scientist claims that he has succeeded in making food from air. Editors and niggers may yet escape starvation. Hurry up. dock, and let us have your life-saving formula. The natives of Africa call Roosevelt "Bwano Turn bo,*' which is said to mean, "Ross with big stomach." It's doubtful whether they have a word or words expressive of the magnitude of Teddy's monumental grinders. Senator Bailey and W. S. Manning had a little fisticuff in the hall of the senate the other day and the papers are making great things out of it. Why. such a little matter as that is never noticed in Chester.?Chester Lantern. But it's a rare distinction in the life of a congressman to have the honor of engaging in a fight with a newspaper man. J Tom Foster, who seriously cut Ed Hunnicutt near the intersection of Caldwell and Seventeenth streets late Monday night, will lie tried in the Recorder's court this mftrninff on n warrant rhjo-ir. ing assault with a deadly weap-j on. ?Charlotte Observer. A fellow with wheels in his head is not uncommon, but Hunnicutt's is the first case on record of a man's anatomy being traversed by municipal thorough- j fares. North Carolina editors never j acquire riches and few have such favors thrust upon them. Welj note one exception, in the person of Mr. F. A. Moore, editor < of The Goldsboro Argus, who re- j! cently inherited $92,000 by the{ will of an uncle in New York, j, Concord, N. C., Times. j j Wonder if there are anv more | < such uncles lying around loose | in New York or elsewhere. Erskine College, on last Wednesday, deservedly honored two ' of her distinguished alumni, Chief Justice Ira B. Jones and. Col. J. C. Hemphill, of the News and Courier, by conferring upon ( them the degree of LL. I). Judge j | Jones and Editor Hemphill were , meml>ers of the same class at ( Erskine. and both have certainly) "made good" in an eminent degree since graduation, reflecting , the highest credit op. their alma mater. We are triad t<> know that our friend Connors of the Lancaster., News, is coming to the reunion and we will try and get all of' the wild onions out of the way before that time. However, there! will be so many other things; here to see that he will never know of the wild onions, anyway. ?Chester Lantern. If you'll have Chester's famous pretty girls out on dress parade during the reunion you needn't bother about eradicating your old crop of onions. Nothing makes a man oblivious to all surroundings more effectually than the sublime spectacle of a procession , of fair femininity rigged out in 1 airy summer apparel, peekaboo \ nirtwaists, white skirts, dainty -fords, #tc., etc. f i The Crop Situation. ,.N The heavy, protracted rains atayin' this week have made the crop situation indeed serious. The ?u fields everywhere are saturated da' nij with water and it will be several 1 . He days before they will be in con- baza re dition to admit of working. In "An' the meantime the grass, which is ' , _ , _ n churcl in evidence on nearly, if not all, graildi farms continues to grow and in- ao' ai . ., ? T, jure the young plants.
