The many Cleveland county friends of Mr. Baylus Cade and newspaper men all over the world hope that the Cade line casting machine will prove a success. Our expectancy is promised some relief within the next thirty days for the inventor has been assured by the manufacturers in Phihidel phia that the machine will be ready for a try-out within that time. But the linotype people say wo are doomed to disappointment. A reporter on the staff of The Highlander had a talk with Walt er H. Savory of Trenton, New York City, who is general traveling rep rcsentative of the Mergenthaler people, the origir ators and makers of linotype machines. i What Mr. Savory said is repro duced as news, showing what the linotype people think of Mr. Cade machine. Of course, it must be remembered that the Mergenthaler concern will be the greatest losers in the event Mr. Cade's inventiou proves a success. "Mr. Cade has stumbled on to an idea that we discovered, worked out and found to be utterly worth less some years ago," said Mr, Savory. "As soon as we heard about the Cade 'invention' we went over to the patent office, got his drawings and showed them to our Mr. Rogers, the world's great est expert on linotype construction He examined them and then laugh ed at them. "Years, ago Mr. Mergenthaler, Mr. Rogers and one other expert stumbled on to the Cade idea, worked it out separately and each one seperately saw its fallacy and threw it overboard. They did not even take the trouble to patent it "The president of our company asked me if any one down in North Carolina had any money in the concern. Isaid'Yes.' " 'Well, can they afford to lose itl'" " 'No, I hardly think those North Corolina people can afford to lose it" "Well, it's truly pitiful. There is nothing in the Cade invention. Dismiss it from your mind.' " And the question seemed settled once and for all in Mr. Savory's mind. However, we shall see what we shall see. Aud our hopes, though dampened, are not extinguished, The Highlander. Reading Oif His Drunk. An old actor who was not much given to the cheering glass, says the Billboard, one evening went to dine at the club with a friend met several more, with the result that about G. M. he was "pretty mellow." He left his friends and started home and said to himself: "My boy you're drunk! Whatare you going to do about it! I kuow; I'll go home and read who ever heard about a drunken mau read ing!" -Well, home he weut in a cab went to the library and commenced to read. Mrs. Actor later appeared on the scene. "What on earth are you doing!" she questioned. ' "Why er can't you see what I'm doing, my dear; I'm reading.' "Reading!" said his wife, scorn fully; "what are you reading!" He looked at the book, but could n't see the words, so said: "That book's been in the house for the last twenty years, so if you don't know I'm not joint; to tell vou." To this his wife replied wrath fully; "You old fool, shut up that valise and come to bed." Greater Than He. While ex-President Roosevelt was on his famous Louisiana bear- hunting trip he passed by. au old colored man's cabin aud saw two fiae hounds in the yard. Mr. Roosevelt made several offers for the hounds, each larger than the last; but the old man shook his head. Finally the President said: "If you knew who I am you would sell me those dogs." "Sell you dem houn' dawgsifl knowed who you is!" exclaimed the old man. "Who" is you, any how!" "I am President Roosevelt" was the reply, uttered in an im pressive tone." - .

The "Lost Prince" Is Found. Mr. Harry Reid has at last re covered his valuable bird dog, Prince, who has been lost for about four months. In September when Mr. and Mrs. Reid went away onfc visit they arranged to have their dogs fed at the North State hotel. The dogs played about town all day but were always regularly on time for their meals. One day Mr. Padgett noticed that Prince was absent; a search was made and he was not to be fouud about town. When Mr. Reid returned he made further inquiry and adver tised for his dog, offering $10 reward for his recovery. That was several months ago. About a week since, Mrs. Reid's neice, little Miss Matilda Lattimore, bile driving through the streets 'by, noticed a large white she recognized wm-'Trincc. She siti vc that she was right, v' father, Dr. Lattimore, inquired about the dog and found that he had been bought by a Shelby gentleman from a Lincoln county man. Wncn this news was communicated to Mr. Reid, he immediately left for Shelby. It happened that the dog was at the station when he arrived, and sec ing his master, ran up to him, jumped about and showed his recognition and affection in his own canine way. Prince was brought home on the evenirg train and after a hearty supper held quite a reception, all the neighbors coming to rejoice over his return. Blease a Coarse Man. As all the papers in South Caro Una, save one, were against Blease for Governor, it was not to have been expected that he would en tertain any very friendly feeling for the press of that State, but that he would have undignified a State message by course abuse of the editors and preachers who bad opposed him, could have been scarcely anticipated. We confess to much surprise at Governor Blease's characterization of these editors and preachers. It was out of place in a message that might have been expected to deal with matters of State importance. Charlotte Chronicle. Admitted Only Plain Facts.
