He car ried one of those large black cases which lawyers and literary men with documents affect in Paris. He was poorly dressed, old, short sighted and gray headed. He was very busy with his papers, and, when he looked up from them, exclaimed aloud that he had made a mistake, and was traveling In the wrong direction. The bus was stopped for him, he scrambled out and got Into another. When he had gone, a large yellow envelope with red seals on It was found on his seat. Though there were seals the envelope was open. "Let us look," said the other pas sengers. "It may contain his address, and certainly It contains documents of value to him, perhaps even bonds or shares." The envelope was opened and the papers taken out for examination. They were a bundle of advertisements of a new restaurant which has been opened near the boulevard. "The old lawyer's clerk" spends his day riding about in buses, finding that he Is on the wrong one. and leaving advertisements behind him. London Standard. Oddities of Will Making.

Adv. 11-7 HERE AND THERE Indiscriminate Observations and Rambling Notes Gathered Here and There at Random Over the City by One of the Xews Gatherers. An interesting and Interested vis itor In the busy town Wednesday was Rev. W. L. Sherrill, of Pinevllie, Mecklenburg county, financial agent for Davenport College, an educa tional institution belonging to tne Western North Carolina Conference of the Southern Methodist Churcn and located at Lenoir. .Mr. Sherrill is always a welcome visitor In Gas tonia. He was formerly assistant editor of The North Carolina Advo cate, published at Greensboro, and while holding that position visited this section quite frequently. While talking with The Gazette man the convesration drifted to the subject of the wonderful progress Gaston county has made in the past tnirty or forty years. "I well rememoer the day," remarked Mr. Sherrill, "when there was a still house at al most every bend in every creek and a little grog shop at almost every crossroads. About thirty years ago I went to Dallas and opened the first drug store ever operated In that town or In the county as for that. There were possibly four or five hundred people there then and Gas tonia was not on the map, or ratner was just beginning to get on the map as the railroad had just been com pleted through this section at that time. Then the county had no puo school system, no good roads, the farms as a rule were very poorly tilled and conditions generally very unencouraging. Today you have a system of public schools that ranks with the very best in the State, more than a hundred miles of fine macad am roads, not a still of any kind, more cotton factories than' any other county in the South, good churcnes dot the hills over the county, tne farmers have built up their rarms and are producing a great deal more to the acre than ever before and In everyway Gaston has gone ahead in a manner that is little short of mar velous." Mr. Sherrill is engaged just now in a whirlwind campaign to raise among the Methodists or Western North Carolina a barancc of $1,2000 on a debt of $11,000 which hangs over Davenport col lege. This amount has to be raised before the annual conference meets in Char'lotte the latter part of thrs month in order to secure a donation toward the payment of this debt made conditionally by the confer ence last year. Davenport has done a great work for the girls and young women of the Western part of this State and is highly deserving of the united support of all the Methodists in the conference. Just now, 'says Mr. Sherrill, tney are completing a handsome new dormi tory for the girls which Is being erected at a cost of $20,000, the gift of Mr. J. B. Cornelius, a loyal Methodist of this State. Our register and ballot box In the Dunlap Pony Contest will be kept at our branch office at Morris Bros, store. 8 now flake Steam Laundry.

It seems to be generally accepted that a Mecklenburg man will be in the congressional race against Rep resentative K. Yates Webb next year. The two most prominent candidates for the nomination are E. R. Pres ton and W. C. Dowd, and It is be lieved that a preferential primary will soon be held to decide which of them will make the rare, the plan being, presumably, for the defeated candidate to throw his strengtn to his successful opponent. We have watched with some in terest the development of this situ ation, in daily expectation that some charge would be brought a galnst the congressman in explana tion of the opposition to him. But so far there has been nothing of the kind brought forth, and from a story In yesterday's Observer it seems that nobody dreams of making sucn a charge. It is tacitly agreed that Mr. Webb's only offense Is the Tact that he does not live in Mecklenburg county, and his opponents are count ing on patronage disputes to make headway against him. The Observ er says: "The opponents of Congressman Webb are not relying on any dimin ution in his great personal popular ity with the voters as a whole, be-, cause they realize that there has been nothing in his official life that could occasion this. But In award ing the post offices there were, un fortunately for him, not as many of fices as there were candidates and so dissatisfaction was aroused in those who failed to land the plums. Some of these have sought recourse In political revenge and are espous ing the cause of other candidates, hoping that their services under some new flag will be more product ive of remunerative gain." So? In other words, Mecklen burg, humiliated because the people of the ninth district have not seen fit to send one of her citizens to rep resent them In the national legisla ture, has raised a standard of their own and summoned to It all the dis gruntled and revengeful In the hope that she may thereby destroy Webb, not that he has done anything wor thy of political death, but simply to vent her spleen, swelled to bursting because her greatness has been Ig nored. And with the Falstaff's army, consisting "of such, Indeed, "as were never soldiers, but discarded unjus: serving men younger sons or younger brothers, revolt tapsters and hostlers tradefallen, the cankers of a calm world and a long peace, tat tered prodigals lately come from swine-keeping" backed by th. solid strength of Mecklenburg, the victor In the preferential primary Is ex pected to go out and garner th. po litical scalp of the congressman rrom the ninth. It may be done. We hav. no , means of knowing how far the re volt of those disappointed at the pie counter has spread. But if this is really all that there is to th. plat form of the Mecklenburg candidate ' we rannot Imagine where, In care Webb Is defeated, the good to th. Democratic party or the honor to .

Washington Dispatch. Two years of useful life are lost to every, American binder existing ed ucational conditions because of the Increasing fads and furbelows a dopted by the latter day schools and made part of their compulsory currlcullm. This Is the finding of a body or eminent educatos, headed by Presi dent James H. Baker, of the Univer sity of Colorado, whose report has been Issued by the United States Bu reau of Education. "The great mistake in our educa tion is to suppose," says the report, "that quantity and strain constitute education. Education Is a question of doing a few essential things well and without over-strain. The col- -lege has committed a grievous mis- ; take In demanding ever more quan- tity than In quality produced under ' conditions of healthy normal devel opment." The educators, who, say the bu reau officials, spent 10 years Inves tigating conditions, would have the elementary education of the young occupy only six years Instead ,mt' eight. They would have the student pass through high school and college so as to he prepared either to enter the world at the age of 20. 'or, if de sirous of taking up a profession, en able him to be equipped within two or four years later. The Prosrrensive Farmer and The Gazette both for one year for S2.0O. Subscribe today.
