T. Bost, correspondent of the Greens boro News, and ordered him out of the office, says the Raleigh News & Observer. ' "You are a dirty sneak and a com mon liar and if you ever come in this office again, 111 have you kicked out,' the Governor is quoted as de claring as the newspaper man quiet ly withdrew. ,""'' ' ' There were a number of witnesses to the scene which possiblv'haa no parallels in the history of the? press . arid its relations with executives of the State. The news of it was.broadi casted through . State circles shortly . afterwards, and became the subject of conversation for the rest of the 'day.:; ,. , . - ' f .': According to the story of several who were present, 1 the newspaper corresDondent came into the ante room while the Governor was dic tating a note to his stenographer. ."Good morning, Governor," .Mr, Bost said. . "( " The Governor paused. "Tom," he said, ! don't want you to sneak to me any more." The correspondent observed ' that he would endeavor to respect his wishes In the matter.. The Governor continued ' then with the statement that he had tried to be courteous to the newspaper man, reviewed in stances in which he asserted Mr, Bost had been unjust and unfair to . him, declared that he wanted to have nothing further to do with him and had" given his office staff , similar in- strucuons. . ,,- . . . , .1 .- Mr. Bost put in a few words of ar gument and remonstrance now and . then but started to the door when the Governor insisted that he should leave and not return. Several more spectators, including ; the Secretary of State.: had come in during '. the controversy, and heard the Cover 4 .nor's heated closing injunction. - , The nearest approach to the occur fence in recent years took place dur insr the administration of Governor Craig, when Arthur Fletcher, corres pondent of The Charlotte Observer, v t wrote a story, in his correspondence which Governor Craig considered 1 v reflection .upon him. t The story sug Rested, upon the authority of an un Tmwedinfortnaht, V thatAjk)VetnoT vrCraig had received instructions from . "higher up relative to the appoint ment of a fisheries commissioner. ' ' Governor.. Craig summoned . , Mr, . Fletcher to his office, denounced the story, demanded the authority for it, and when Fletcher declined to give it, threatened to exclude him ' from the executive office. . The incident was closed : on the following , morning. , When the news paper man stuck to his determina tion not to reveal the source of his information, Governor Craig relent . ed from his decision and he and Fletcher agreed to let "by-gones be by-gones. Greensboro News Takes a Shot On Monday the Greensboro Daily News, the paper for .which Mr. Bost : works, took notice of the incident as , follows: "The trouble with Tom Bost that he is perpetually showing up at such confoundedly embarrassing mo ments! Of all times in the world, he had to walk; in just at the mo ment when the governor was hold ine a private : conference with- th discredited and repudiated Watts aw with Hartness, his satellite. . Lonsid erine the sort of man the governoi is, it is no wonder that he lost his temper and his head, and abused the intruder in terms more befitting convict whipping boss than the gov ernor of a sovereign commonwealth "Yet while we understand pertec ly the governor's ; wrath at being cautrht in" - company with the boss " whom he so recently and so publicly r severed diplomatic, relations, still" we do not see just what jar. Host could , have done about it. The governor ' will never believe it, but the fact re mains that in this particular, instance the newspaper correspondent was wholly innocent; he had no idea that Watts was closeted with the gover " nor in the private office when he en tered the x public . one; and once the discovery was .'made, he had no means of rendering himself, invisi- "However, had Mr. Morrison ' only , realized it; the discovery really made no difference. Nobody would 1 have been Shocked or surprised at the revelation that the ejection of Watts from his public position did not mean his ejection from, the party councils; for nobody ever believed that the ' public repudiation of the bes'a was anything but a grandstand play. The whole political record of Came ron Morrison as . a stout liencmian of the nfachine precluded tho belief that he had actually cast off fis able a poV'tical manipulator as the States vine statesman. He had" known Watts for twenty years before he as sumed the office of Governor, He knew Watts when he repudiated the implied agreement to make Maxwoll ' tax commissioner and gava the office to Watts instead.

Under the commutation plan : of tle Governor, prisoners who have served less than , one half of their sentences get one-fourth of their re maining time off. Those who have served more than one naif get a third of their remaining time off. At the same time, Governor Mor rison in a conference with Prison Superintendent George Ross Pou, Warden S, J.

Chief Justice Flow was asked yes-, terday as he left the court house . where he had been presiding over some cases as United States Com missioner. ' ' "Well," said the Chief Justice, "if you include all those whose stom achs yearn for a little of the warm ing fluid, I think he is right. It is wonderful how many people are in sympathy with the business one way or the other." , No L oarer a Pessimist Mr. George Baker of Buford and Rev. M. D. L. Preslar of . Polkton were , talking in town . yesterday. "How are you?" they were both askV ed by a third party who came up. "Can't complain," - said Mr. Baker. "It is unusual to find a man who can't complain about anything," he was told. "Well, said Mr. cater, "I am an o'd man now and most of my time is behind me, and I have de cided that it does no good to com plain about anything. We have rais ed ten children, all grown and gone now. When all these boys and girls were young I often .had the blues. When it looked like my crop was going to be bad I got uneasy for fear I wouldn't make enough to feed and clothe them, and I fancied this thing and that thing was going to happen, but usually it didn't happen. I just decided that I would do the best I could and quit worrying over the things I couldn't Help. I never have the blues any more, and. it makes me a lot happier." And Mr. Preslar agreed that that was the best philosophy of life. Old boldier Confab It's always interesting to see and hear a bunch of old soldiers togeth er. Many of the old, bovs have good memories and can tell interesting stories. On the square yesterday CoL William McWhirter, Squire John Winchester, J. W. Byrum and Thom as U Austin just dropped together like the old fellows will do when they get in reach of each other, They were all old soldiers who went through the whole four years and some of them were in Federal oris ons. The Col. always opens the con-' versa tion by asking where each one was this day 58 years ago. .. He did so this time. Most of them were try ing -te-gelr1iomr'troTt ons, and some had arrived." Col. Mc Whirter was in ' Richmond, jUst' re leased. .He had been taken prisoner on the 28th of March before the sur render on April 9th, and had not been in prison long, Then each one told a few stories. "At the battle of the Wilderness," said Squire John , Winchester, ' 92 years old and still jolly, "I saw Gen eral Lee do something that I have never forgotten. He was behind the lines during the battle but the bul lets were flying around him. He no ticed a young bird that had been shot out of a nest or dropped out It was fluttering about on tha ground as young birds ' do. General Lee stooped down, picked it up and plac edu it in some bushes where it could be found by its mother." Then Mr. Byrum told about how he had taken a place of safety be hind a big stump at the battle of Plymouth. He was tired out and. was in the line of cannon fire be tween both armies. ; He says when the big shells werepassin over with their weird songs it alwavs made him sleepy; He got behind the stump as a protection against rifle fire, feeiing perfectly safe, and went to sleep. On waking up he looked at the stump which . had sheltered him and found that It Waq perfectly rotten. ' He kicked it over and won dered what would have happened to him if a minnie ball had come along while he had been asleep. Got the, Chain Gang for the First :. ,.: Time . ' ;-.

Jim Winches ter says some of the folks up there never saw the chain gang before and it was a curiosity to. them. Some of the kids thought it was something of a show. Others were shy of it. One of W. W. Pusser's boys refused to go to see it. His grandfather. Uncle Dave Pusser, took the boy and was going to carry him to see the show 'and the youngster kicked like a steer! He had no use for anything of the kind. ' "That boy,' remarked some one, "would not be afraid- of anything that, he had ever seen, for he has as much nerve in his blood as anybody, tut a chain gang was too much for hint' And that is about the same way with everybody in the world, we are mainly afraid of things Cnn't Onmuirp a Man With a Road governor seems to have believed thai!
