An Unimpressionable Secretary.
The Conning Tower in N. Y. World.
Sir: unimpressed Is what I am every
time I read of the loads and loads of lit
ter that litter up our literary men's
desks. And unimpressed is what I was
when I read your comment on President
Coolidge’s t desk. You say-' "he lias u
secretary.” And pray tell, why shouldn't
you have a secretary?
I am a secretary. I ant an unusual
secretary. And I know I’d love to work
for a eolyum conductor. I have a sneaky
feeling any eolyum conductor would ap
preciate me. And why? Because I have
a mania for speed. ‘To illustrate: At 9
o'clock Monday morning you get a let
ter from a shirt manufacturer nsking
for your size. You rend the letter and
sigh. You lay the letter on top of the
“litter.” Nonchalantly I pick up said
letter. I glance through it critically, ask
a few well-directed questions, pick up
the telephone, and at 10- o’clock you are
wearing a size 14 1-2, 33-inch sleeve
length, pure lineu shirt.
I am available at once.
HEPSIBAH CLEAIENTINA.
No, Hepzibali—for possibly that is how
you meant to spell it—we don’t want a
secretary. She might have a mania for
speed, such as you say you have, but, if
her sjieed interfered with her control, ns
yours does, she would be more trouble
than she would be worth. Before your
letter went to the composing room, we
had to make one correstion' iu punctua
tion and one in spelling. How then, could
you correct proofs for us? How could
you make up the column? How would
you know whifch letters to throw away?
And you—or any other secretary—would
argue. You’d say, “I think yoil ought to
print that,” or ‘That isn’t'good enough.”
And where would you go at 9:55 that
morning, while we were trying 011 .the
new linen shirt?
Two Lives Saved; Two Tempers Iy*t.
A stout, determined-looking man
reached the station just as the train
was pulling out. He ran down the
plitforin, seized the handrail of a coach”
and was about' to hop aboard when
some one clutched him by the coat tail.
It was a brakeman, very angry and
blustering.
“There, I’ve saved your fife,” the
brakeman said. “Don’t every ,try to
hop a train when she’s in motion!”
Then as the train continued to gather
speed the brakeman skillfully swung
himself on the stepß of the last coach ; ,
but the stout man caught his coat and
plucked him off like a ripe peacb. I
“You saved my life,” said the stout
man, grinning. “Allow me to save
yours." I
And the train disappeared pound the

TWf CONCURD DAILY TRIBUNB
JUMBO BARRETT
Being Heralded as the Best Fist Base
man and a Dangerous Hitter.
ißy the Associated Press.|
Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 21.— Coming to
the Raleigh Club of the Piedmont League
from the semi-pro ranks of Savannah.
Ga., Virgil AY. Barrett, better known ns
‘‘Jumbo’ Barrett, is now being heralded
by sports writers throughout the Bran-,
ham circuit ns the best first baseman and
one of the most dangerous hitters, in the
league, although until three weeks ago.
when be joined the locnl club, he had
never played professional baseball.
Barrett has been attracting the atten
tion of sevejal big league scouts by his
j mighty hitting, the last league average
(giving him a percentage of .384. which
included 14 extra base wallops, five home
runs, six triples and five doubles.
“Jumbo'' until recently performed on
the Seaboard shops nine of the Savannah
league, playing outfield. While there he
had the reputation of being one of the
heaviest hitters in the league.
Both of the regular hurlers on this
club were in the hospital list one day
and the manager asked if any other mem
ber ot the club could pitch. “Jumbo"
volunteered his services and won the
game. Two days later he repeated. The
officials of .the Raleigh club, who were in
the market for pitchers, received word of
Barrett's ability as a hurler from a per
son who had seen him work in those two
games. The Georgian immediately was
signed.
Arriving in Raleigh, Barrett was plac
ed at first base, a position he had never
filled before. The youngster played well
at the initial cushion, aud since that time,
with the exception of two games in which
he caught on account of the regular ba,ek-'
stopiied being out on injuries, lie has j
played first .‘base. After performing at J
the sack for about two weeks the sports '
writers are almost unanimous in the!
opinion that'he is among the best-look-i
iug prospects for higher company seen in
the season. ,
Before going to Savannah, where, he 1
played three years, “Jumbo" played on
the Seventh District Agricultural and
Mechanical school nine at Power Springs,
Ga., as an outfielder and catcher. Kellar
Hasty, now a member of the I’hilndel- 1
phia Athletics, was his battery mate dur-1
iug the school days.
Barrett’s home is in Rockhart, Ga. He
is 24 years old, weighs 194 pounds aud
stands five feet, 11 inches.. He bats and
throws right-handed.
According to unofficial figures, Bar
rett holds the record for the longest hit
ever recorded. A drive he made in a se
ries with High Point August 7 sailed
over the centettield sign boards, coming
down just inside th’e outside fence of the
park. After the game the sports editor
of a local fiiiper. accompanied by two wit
nesses, measured the distance the sphere
was hit, and. according to their measure
ment, the ball sailed 503 feet, two inches
on the fly, beating "Babe” Ruth's longest
drive of 495 feet.
The Brother of a Poet.
The poet John Greenleaf Whittier,
writer a contributor, bad a brother,
, Alatthew Franklin Whittier, who was
nearly five years younger than himself.
When at an early age the poet had be
gun to make a reputation Mrs. Wliit
ier wondered whether her younger boy
also might not have literary talent; so
she talked with ‘‘Frank,’’ as he often
was called, and asked him if he was sure
that the could not write poetry. Mat
thew Franklin was quite sure there was
no “spark of geniim in his make-up, but
he said that he was willing to try to
write something if his mother would*
furnish a subject. That most helpful
mother, Abzigail Hussey Whittier, did
her port, and we give below the subject
und the result of the effort :
Daniel in the Lion’s Den
They took old Daniel by the heels
And boldly threw him in;
And all the lions then
Began—to—grin.
But Daniei mustered stoutly Up;
His courage did not fail;
He cuffed the lions on their eurs
And, pulled them "by their tails.
The good mother did not call the at
tempt successful, but it is true that lat
er in life at the time of the Civil War
this brother of a poet s wrote a number
of humorous letters for the press over
the signature “Ethan Spike of Hornby.”
satirizing the doings of the proslavery
ploliticians.
Eighty-five Are Missing as Jap Sub
* Goes Down.
‘Tokio, Aug. 21.—The newest Japanese'
submarine, just returned from a short
trial trip, sank this morning at the
Kawasaki docks at Kobe and 85 mem
bers of her crew missing, are believed
to have lost their lives. The captain,
chief officers, dive dockyard engineers
and four other naval officers were saved.
The cause of the accident has not
been determined. Submarine Engineer
Yauagawo, who was aboard the vessel as
a representative of the builders, was
among those saved. He said the sub
marine had completed her trial trip and
come to the surface when, listing heavi
ly, she started to sink. The captain
ordered all the openings closed. Be
fore his orders could be carried out,
however, the water rushed in and the
vessel sank.
Dr. Johnson Declines.
Charlotte, Aug. 21.—Rev. Dr. Albert
Sidney Johnson, pastor of the First
Presbyterian ‘church of this city, who
was called to oue of thp largest Pres
byterian churches of St. Louis, Mo., to
day declined the call. He has been
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
here for five years.
Washington and" Lincoln were the tal- j
lest Presidents, Cleveland and Thft the !

BETTER COTTON PRICES
QUICKENS THE DEMAND
Southern Cotton Mills Say the Outlook
Has Improved. * |
Charlotte. Aug. 21.—The upward 1
trend in the price of raw cotton which
has characterized tbe market since the |
publication of the government crop esti-1
mate has resulted in a quickening of
thb demand for cotton goods, according
to. local manufacturers and commission
men. “It is almost invariably the case.”
declared one mill man. "that buyers held
off a falling market but begin buying
immediately when they see that the bot
tom has been reached and prices begin
to rise. The steady decline in the price
of cotton during the past three mobths
or more, until the past two \veeks,
played havoc with the market for goods.
Mills were compelled to put into effect
a most drastic program of curtailment, j
This curtailment program is still in ef
fect. but if cotton Continues to go up
the market for all classes of goods will
soon become active and the mills will .be
able to resume full time operation.”
The improvement in the cotton goods
market haw been noted principally in
the-demand for print cloth but observers
believe that buyers of all classes of
goods who have been waiting for prices
to reach the bottom are not likely to
waif much longer, with a little more
notable upward turn in the price of
raw cotton it is believed that the buy
ing movement among retailers and job
bers alike became more general. •
