Editor Staxdabd: I have just read with a great deal of interest Co!. Smothersock's commnnication in last Wednesday's Standard, and abo toe editorial note accompanying it. As one of the suiviving mem bers of the Concord Lyceum, once favorably known to your readers as A Mother of Thirteen," and hav ing been more or less intimate with Col. Smothersock at that time, I think I am in a position to offer an explanation of the mystery which he describes with his accustomed candor of statement. There are two points in the nar rative which 'place the occurrence within the realm of the occult, as will be seen in the analysis of the details of the story as Col. Smother sock himself tells it first'that he in- yariably stepped into the mud hole with his left foot, and, second, that ont of thirten possible timas he should have failed once to get into it Knowing what I do of the Col's. personal history I am able to give a plausible explanation of the first point It is a matter of record, in the archives of the state, that Col. SmoMiersock was on the way to the battle of Bentonville in company with others of the North Carolina Reserves who arrived too late to do their country eeryice on that occa sion, and I have often heard him speak, in thrilling details, of the hardships of tbat march and tbe fearful possibility of arriving on the field, while the battle was in prog ress, which that attachment of the reserves were compelled to face that day. Ever since tbe military train ing which he received at that time it is the invariable habit of the Col onel to step off with the left foot first bringing the hollow of the right to the heel of the left and in this way it is perfectly natural that he should always get into the mud bole left foot foremost. xne second point or mystery ib more difficult to explain but J think the xey to its solution lies in the colonel's statement that this always happened as he "went down town at night. It does not appear at all from the narrative that he even reached the point of attempting the trip back at night and it seems clear that his habit was "not to go home till morning" when the conditions were more favorable for walk.' This seems to me to account for the fact that he missed the mud hole on one trip down town. The - mystery would have been harder to explain had he missed it on the way back the same night, If there are others who have more satisfactory explanation to offer I am sure the colonel's many friends will be glad to give them a hearing, , - A SCBIVOB OF THE LyCBUt.'
