THE SUN MISINFORMED. - Speaking of the Appalachian Interurbati Railroad th&Ruth'er- fordton Swsaid m its last issue: "As islknown Polk county some time ago-voted arid there is now available one-hundred thou sand dollars for & railroad, . The county commissioners of that ' coimy at the request of four townships,, have just ordered an election calling for an additional xnve titmisand dollar bond issue, $iei stinct object, if pos: sible, b e i n$ 'to secure this lrbad. v I ,j ! ; Th&Suti has4)eeit misinformed. Polk county has no bonds avail able for arailroad, andno election has yet been ordered to vote bonds, 'but petitions are . now beihg circulated , in four town ships calling for an election in November. The four townships will vote, sixty-thousand dollars. This much of what is quoted , abwe. from The -Sun is true: y 'tneir distinct object, if possible, being I tasecure thisrailroad.M We believe the citizens of this electric line would give them and that: their object is to secure the road if possible.

" We believe those who are agi tating a line, from Rutherfordton to Greenville, S. C., are only try ing to get the people to let the opportunity of getting the Appalachian Electric road slip away. If these people should succeed in their object they would not turn their hands over to get a railroad through this section of Polk county. Those who are opposing the electric line have railroad facilities and they do not want the other townships to get in a position t compete with themJ The motive is only a selfish one. .y'V v; , COLUMBUS "NEWS.

Because he' controls the party;, machinery. . 2. Because the nomination can easily be gained in a convention where a bare majority nominates and the third of the delegates come from the South. - - 3. Because no republican boss will dare oppose his nomination. 4. Because there is no other candidate who ' appeals to the rank and file of the party. 5. Because all republican politi cians will regard Ids candidacy as a valuable party asset. i- 6. Because there will be practi cally no democratic opposition to his election. Parker sound money democrats .will prefer him to a Bryanite. Bryan democrats will prefer him tot a Parkerite. - 7. Because the ; third-term oh jection does not technically arid literally apply to his case. He has only once been elected presi dent by the people. Strickly speaking, another term in the presidency would be only his sein ond term. v 8. Because his "various declara tions not to be a candidate will not be treated too seriously. Many iprjadaiiti including Mr. Cleveland have expressed-their, opposition to second term. None, ever refused ' one. fu- 1 9. Because the peace of Ports mouth has made it exceedingly difficult for opponents even to criticise him effectively. The memory of this sterling peace victory will cause the public to overlook and condone many fu ture mistakes. ; 10. Because L. the surpassing versatility of his genius has cast a spell over American sentiment which makes the advocates on both sides of most,bublic ques tions regard him as anally, Just as Mr. Roosevelt has made his own precedents in. numerous other cases, so he will be the first of the presidents to serve more than eight years in the . White Houseand that without violat ing in the strict sense the letter, of the third-term tradition. . But all this with ari If." If general prosperity continues and there are no hard ' times.

' " i The islaiid of Sakhalin, which was . a bone of contention; be tween the peace delegates, is a strip of land 25 to 150 miles wide and 900 mijes long. . The plimate is unfavorable for apiculture!, only potatoes, . cabbages v and turnips coming to maturity.,,. Its numerous, mountains are believed to be rich in minerals. Fishing may be said to be the chief busi ness of the inhabitants. Heif ring; 1 salmon d", trout abound: in the western and , southern waters' and are caught the y ear round i' 6,000 Japanese were enr gaged in,fishing before the' war. The islancl has about ,40,000 in habitant, -,000 whom aH convicts 12006 Vbeing adminis trators and keepers of the prison ers, leaving a little more than 4,000 natives. Alexandres, .the capital, has 15,000 ; people. The island has been a Russian convict station since 1867. The first dis4 putes on the subject of Sakhalin arose between Russian and Japan in 1856. A . conventionr in that year, granted Russia the northern part of the island.

M , REAL "LITTLE BRtECHES" Story Of The incident Which Inspired The ' Late John Hay To Compose This Famous Poem, f ; rIn abetter to the San Francisco Chronicle Rev; H.3. Heacock of that city tells of the incident which' inspired the late John Hay to write his famous poem, 4 'Little Breeches." i ;"In the spring of 1862, in a little ;town named New -Virginia, about? fifty miles ; south 5 of Des Moines, la. , " says Mr. Heacock, 'a meeting of ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church was being held. - The father, mother and younger members of the family and the lad referred to were" 4n attendance.- I was to preach - that evening i n the church. :-y . - 1 "After attending the exercises of the day the parents were starting home.-f The, iather had hitched the h6ises into the wagon and driven up to the gate. Leav ing the little boy in' the wagon, he went into the htuse for his wife .' and younger child. Not having fastened the horses, sud iienly they took fright and start- eo! to run away. I was in the pulpit and announcing the hymn when a man rushed into the church and cried out that a team had run away, taking, a little boy in , the. wagon alone. - . ; , , -r "Immediately the congregation was broken up. Rev. E. H. Winans, a minister who now lives in Los Angeles, took the lead, saying 'Get your, lanterns and torches and let us pray as we run in search of the boy ' It was de cided to fire & gun when the boy should be found. '" . -tew v . . Oil' ine niirht was-narlr nnH rnnl drizzling rain was falling. About a mile from the village the team a.nd- wagon were found in a gulch. The fore wheels, had fallen into this and the fore end . of the wagon bed JiaoLslidden, off so that the boy, fnot over 4 years old had climbed out. 'But he was not to be found. ; Nearly half a miiefrom where the wagon- was found there vas an old log house used for herding the sheep. As torches and lamps needed replen ishing and the roof of the build- hihas of clapboards. 1 1 was aeciaea to go there and get these boards for torches. " 'Arriving at ; the place, the father of the boy in "an agony of gpief told the party he heard a noise inside, which he thought sounded like avchild's voice.
