Stripling's Son Unable to Secure Employment Atlanta, April 4. "It's a bard world, and Atlanta is a hard hearted city," said William Stripling, son of the convicted former DnIUe police chltf. this morning, after be bad hunted in Tain for two days for some way to earn a living. The young man. who is only seven teen years of age. made no effort to conceal the fact that he was tbe sen of Ihomaa Edgar Stripling, the Jean Yaljean or Georgia.' As a come qnence. be tsys, nobody feemstowant to give him employment. He has been seeking work for two lay, and has even aeled the Associa ted Charities to assist him in finding something t do. This brief annonncement appeared in the Sanford Express the other day: "At the earnest solicitation of many friends, I have decided cot to be a candidate for postmaster." This is signed "J. U. Gunter." This good old world bai been standing & loog time, but this is about the first an nouncement of tbe kind ever made. Tbe best part of it is that Mr. Gunter does not appear to be joking; be sim ply makes a statement of fact, no doubt having it in mind to become a candidate. Had he left the word "not" out, It would have been la tbe usual form. All candidates ran for office at the solicitation of friends. Sometimes, fearing tbe publio might doubt such assertions, the aspirant gets up a petition, but In these days little reliance is placed in such pipsrr. Ten men out of twelve will sign a pe tition In order to either "stand in" with the candidate, or to get rid of bis importunities. Mr. Qunter should bi made postmaster of his town in stanter. He is honest at least. Greensboro Record. Washington? April 7.
