The other day I read a powerful lit

mouth while others work for a $10M.
A friend sent the poem below, and
they fit together so well, and are so

Their father, hearing of these sal

unfair basis. I will let them ex
plain for themselves,' said the boss,
as he pressed a button under his
desk. Jim, (he lowest paid man of
the three, answered. "I understand
the Oceanic has Just docked," said
the employer. 'Please go down there
tand get an Inventory of her cargo."
Three minutes later Jim was back in
the office. "She carries a cargo of
two thousand seal skins,' reported
Jim, 'I got the information from the,
first mate over the telephone.' 'Thank
you. Jim,' said the boss. 'That will
be all.' He pressed the button again,
and Frank, the $200 man reported.
'Frank, I wish you would go down
to the dock and get an inventory of
the Oeeaiiic's cargo." An hour later

Edwin Brietz, a staff correspondent
of The Charlotte Observer, visited the
cyclone struck sections of Goose
Creek, Monroe and New Salem town
ships Tuesday, and wrote a two-col
umn article on the storm for his pa
lur. In the main, his facts corres
ponded closely with those hastily
gathered by The Journal Tuesday
morning, but he was enabled to gath
er more interesting sidelight) on the
occurrence on account 'of having more
time at his disposal. Some of these
sidelights follow:
"When the storm burst upon them
in all its fury, Presson and his wife
were sitting on the edge of a bed
playing with their small baby. Pres
son put his anus around his wife and
sought to comfort her. Then the
house was struck.
"The man, woman and baby went
into the air together. As they fell
Mrs. Presson rirnnned the hflhv.

see;
"That's not my Job, and it's not my
care.
So I'll pass It by and leave it there."
And the boss who gave him his week
ly pay.
Lest more than his wages on him
that day.
"I'm not Eupposcd to do that," he
said;
"That duly belongs to Jim or Fred,"
So a little task tliat was in his way,
That he could have handled without
delay,
Was left unfinished; the way
paved.
For a heavy loss that he could have
, saved.
And time went on and he kept his
place,
But he never altered his easy pace,
And folks remarked on how well he
knew.
The line of the tasks he was hired
to do;
For never once was he known to turn,
His hand to things not of his concern.
But there in his foolish rut he stayed,
And for all he did, he was fairly paid
But he never was worth a dollar
. more.
Than he got for hla toil when the
week was o'er;
For he knew too well when his work
was through,
And he'd done ail he was hired to do.
If you want to grow In this world,
young man.
You must do every day all the work
you can.
If you find a task, though It's not
your bit, ,
And it should be done, take cart of it;
For you'll nefer conquer or rise If
The Bressons lost heavily In live
stock. A valuable mule was hurled
4a hundred feet against a tree stump.
The mules body was pierced by a
two-by-four scantling.
"A horse from Presson's barn was
carried several hundred feet into a
patch of woods. It was found early
this morning, apparently unhurt.
"Harrows, ploughs and other ag
ricultural Implements were carried
hundreds of feet by the storm which
departed as suddenly as it had come.
A sewing machine hung from a
tree limb. Bed clothes, wearing ap-
was pare!, iron beds, were scattered about
the fields nearby. Lying underneath
a tree Just out of the path of the
storm was a worn and lorn family
Bible opened at the Second Epistle to
the Corinthians.
"The escape of Roy Byrd, aged
thirteen. Is perhaps the most remark
able of all. The little fellow awoke
to And himself buried under I mass
of wreckage. He tried to extricate
himself, groping bit way slowly and
painfully in the dark. He crawled
Into the well. A piece of heavy tim
ber had been hurled Into the well and
as he fell, young Byrd lodged on this
From there he crawled to safety.
"The Griffins also had a narrow
cape. As the storm sweji down upon
them and struck their barn, they fled
from their bed. Just as they left it
the chimney of their house fell across
the bed, splintering It
"A steel range from the Presson
home was found three miles aray In
a wneat neia.
"A huge mass of wreckage I" a"
that is left to mark the place where
the Williams home, the most Impos
ing In the neighborhood, once stood.
This house collapsed. The roof is
on the ground, almost Intact. The
Observer reporter, stumbling around
was a mute reminder of the hour or
the catastrophe. .
"The Presson baby was rescued
ft om a mass of debris unhurt. This
escape is all the more remarkable in
view of the fact that Mrs. Presson Is
believed to have dropped the Infant
as she was falling
"The road from! he Presson home
to the next farmhouse was littered
with nails and fragments of broken
dishes this morning, nevertheless a
neighbor, hurrying to the scene in
liis barefeet last night, did not get
so much as a scratch.
"The cyclone Is the most fearfi'!
thing Union county has known in
years. Even the oldest inhabitants
of, the Goose Creek section can re
member nothing like It. White-j
haired, bearded patriarchs halted
their work of helping rebuild the
Byrd home yesterday afternoon to re
mark that' Union county has never
before known anything like it."
