Some time ago, whilst we were wallowing in the slough of despair, eating the husks of curiosity and chewing the cud or wonderment, we sought our gentie Gustavus, The Industrial News, for light. When we sought bread this is the grade of stone we are tossed: "The Charlotte News grows inquisi tive thusly:' To the Industrial News, so fond of fathoming the mysteries of this world, we would ask, when do a pullet become a hen? "Frankly we do not know. We would however, beg leave to tell our friend that the notion that every Republican is more than apt to be an authority on chickens is an opinion that grows out of a distorted and prejudiced view of the situation. We pass it up." Possibly we did our Republican 'con temporary injustice in querying thus. Of course we do not charge all Repub licans with being up on chickenology, especially now since the Constitutional amendment has passed, and if offense is taken, sack cloth and soot for ours. But our Greensboro contemporary leaves us still further in the dark. When we read the above we were well nigh unto despair, when by chance our eyes caught the following from our old friend and opponent (of con vention city fame) the Asheville Citi zen. As a despairing soul gropes for a ray of light we perused the following, but lo, we were doomed to still greater perplexity. This was the false solution that first caused us to hope We quote The Citizen in response to our query: After an exhaustive microscopic research among the "renowned writers of hentymology w,e have discovered that a pullet do become a hen when its pinfeathers are hentailed. The tail ceases to grow after you pullit. The act of detaching the feathery appendage from a pullus gallinaceus constitutes a petitio cum violentia, but while to a certain extent lacking decorum, it does not necessarily hen danger the life of the fowl. Its appearance after the operation, howexer, cannot be considered ver henticing. Cicero, in his remarkable treatise, " 'Pennae Pulli,' " dramatical ly describes the deplorable dilemma of a pullus novellus after it has emerg ed from a sanguinary affray with a gai lus pugnax. "'Vidit enim appendiceal,"' he says, " 'animi esse corpus," ' an opinion which they who read between the lines will readily concur in. All of wrhicn goes to prove beyond the shadow or a doubt that a pullet do become a hen when circumstances war rant tho transformation. By virtue of the fact that this in foiiuatiou is iurmsnea gratis, we claim the right to a degree in . the brain tactory on which the Industrial News do hold a mortgage." Now to our weary souls, seeking surcease from mental vexation, the above is what we get as a soother. Being only versed in Hebrew, Scan da navia and Filippino cult, we are left out on the above. Some Latin scholar, who can furnish us a trans lation will kindly rise up and address the chair. In the meanwhile we pine, we burn, we itch, we ache for an ans wer to our query, when do a pullet be come a hen? We want to know the exact minute, the second, when the transition between pullethood and hen dom takes place. When, oh, when is it that the pullet (with meek brown eyes before whose orbs no June bug flies, lest she take him by surprise) merges into a hen! One more trial and unless something is done we shall call upon our Palmetto Minerva, the Columbia State. CAPT. ALEXANDER CHOSEN. The directors of the Mecklenburg Fair Association met Thursday night and elected Capt. S. B. Alexander as president of the association, to suc ceed the late Dr. R. J.. Brevard. Other officers were chosen and defi nite steps were taken towards the undertaking of making the fair this year the best ever held in this county. No better man in the county could have been chosen for this position than Capt. Alexander. The success of the fair is assured with him at its head. Every step possible to be taken to make the fair a phenomenal success will be taken by Capt. Alex ander. We congratulate the directors of the association on their, good judg ment in making this choice. - X ' Webster in his famous Blue Back speller, told us the story of the bad boy who climbed the farmer's tree to steal apples; of how the old man tried persuasion to no avail, and of how he finally decided that: there was more virtue in stones than in persuasion. There is deep truth in the story. It is applicable to-day. For sometime prsuasion, appeal, entreaty has been tried as a cure for the lynch mania. Governors have pled with the mobs, Senators have entreated, Sheriffs and officers have begged, all to no avail. Governor Glenn has decided that'there is more virtue in the stone theory than in the gentle persuasion and has or dered the officers of the state to en force the law, no matter what the re sult. If this is done to the letter tne ruinous practice of mob rule that is fastening itself on us like a leach, will soon be a thing of the past.

II This from the Industrial News: "The Charlotte News thus renders its opinion: ' "To our mind Governor Glenn is no more responsible for the recent acts of lawlessness: in this state than is President Roosevelt responsible for the prosperity that has blessed the country within the past year or so. "Suppose we should admit the truth of this proposition and say that Governor Glenn is no more and no less responsible for lawlessness than is President Roosevelt for prosperity, would not our governor have just cause to say we had become bitterly abusive?' " Net on your tin type, for the .sim ple reason that neither of the gentle men referred to were responsible for the. things charged against them. True if Mr.Hodsevelt were responsible for our material prosperity, then un der the proposition stated by our con temporary, Governor Glenn might have just cause to say that he had been abused. But the hypothesis is false and consequently the Governor may rest at ease. An Associated Press dispatch from Washington yesterday read as follows: "Chairman Sherman of the Republi can campaign Committe says the con tributions to the Republican campaign fund are improving although the re ceipts are not as great as he had hop ed." Nothing unusual about that since the stream of blood money has been cut off from all the big corporations. . Sherman probably, sees that honest money comes hard.

The well known firm of Harvey & Wood has leased . the new - Selwyn hotel. The contract was signed yes terday and the people of Charlotte are delighted to know that their handsome new hotel, which eclipses anything in the state, has gone into the hands of this prominent firm. Harvey & Wood operate a string of nine large hotels throughout the country and the fact that they are to have, charge of the new hotel here means much for Charlotte. It will be a source of advertisement for this city which will be highly profitable. - "A bad boy thru spite thru a fit in skul and the:skolarz roz up and thru Mm thru the dor, krakingihis skul on the rokz belo." Teddy. NO MEETING OF BOARD. Election of Erskine's President Re 1 ferred to the Synod of the A. R. P. Church. A message received in the city last night from Mr. R. S. Galloway, local editor of the Associate Reformed -Presbyterian, states that no meeting of the Board of Trustees of Erskine Col lege was held Tuesday night. Some members of the board were sick, oth ers failed to make the connection at Greenville and the meeting was post poned. The matter of electing a president to Erskine College has been referred to the Synod of the A.. R. P. Church which nieetin in November in Camden, Ala. Until that time, Dr. F. Y. Press ly.will continue to occupy the presiden tial office. He will be relieved of some of his duties in order that he. may be able with greater efficiency to attend to the executive affairs of these , insti tutions until the Synod takes up - the matter of election.
