Falls To Death Over ‘Raven Falls.’
Youug Harris, May 7, iqOO.
While hunting in the mountains,
about six miles from this place,
Speer Hughes, a senior of Young
Hams college, lost his balance and
fell over Raven Falls. The dis
tance was about 130 feet, and the
injuries he sustained later proved
to be fatal. His skull was frac
tured. He never regained con
sciousness after the fall.
Mr. Hughes would have received
a diploma next Mnday evening,
and was scheduled to make a speech
on Americans Right to Live.” He
was a favorite in his class.
His remaine were sent home.
The whole „enior class marched
with him *o the corporate limits,
and sang as he was borne away.
“God Be With You Till We Meet
Again.”
Mr. Hughes was the son of Rev.
J. W. Hughes, of near Novetta,
this county, and had many friends
who were deeply grieved at his
sudden death. The bereaved 'par
ents have the sympathy ot all.

Two Narrow Escapes.
A Swiss workman was busy repair
ing the roof of a small railroad sta
tion, says the Strand Magazine, when
the cleat against which he was rest
ing gave way and he began to slide
over the edge of the roof. To avoid a
spiked Iron railing below he made a
desperate jump into splice. An ex
press train was rushing by, and the
man landed on the roof of a car. His
outfiung hands found and clutched a
ventilator chimney. He was carried
on four miles to the next station and
descended unhurt.
More tragic was the occurrence on a
Rocky mountain railroad. Four em
ployees of the Great Northern were
speeding down a precipitous grade on
a hand car at thirty miles an hour
when a special train confronted them
around a curve. There was no avoid
ance of a collision. Two of the men
jumped to death on the rocks below.
The others stuck to the car, and one
was crushed by the wheels of the ad
vancing engine, but the other man
was tossed uninjured into a clump of
bushes which grew on a projecting
rock twenty feet below the edge of
the cliff. It was the only safe place
where he could have fallen.

Letter to G F Otwell,
Cumming, Ga.
Dear Sir: Clear pine and pine
full of knots are two different
things; they are both called pine.
Clear paint and paint adultera
ted with whiting, china-clay,
ground stone, barytes, benzine and
water, are different things; they
are both called paint.
It takes less labor to work clear
pine than pine knots, and costs less
money.
It takes less labor to paint clear
paint than half-whiting or half
china-clay or half ground stone or
half baryte*. These mixtures make
more gallons, not more paint
There’s no more milk in two
quarts of milk-and-water Ilian in
one quart of milk. If you paint
two gallons for one you pay dou
ble for labor ; and labpr costs more
than paint.
You know how it is with clear
lumber and knots. It’s the same
with all paint and half-paint.
A duy’s-work is a gallon of paint
or half-paint.
Apply it to business. Suppose
you have two houses, same size;
paint one Devoe, the other the
other prominent paint in your
town.
It takes lft gallons Devoe, sl. 75
a galloo, $17.50 for paint, $3 a gal
lon for labor, 880 for labor ; whole
job, $47 5O
It takes 15 gallons of ttns other
paint, same price, $26 25 for paint ;
$3 a gallon for labor, $45 for labor ;
whole job s7l. 25.
And which wears best, clear pin.
or pine knots? Devoe wears bet
ter than that weak pai.it,
What warrant is there for say
ing'that paint is weak? It takes
more gallons.
Yours truly

The editor of a local paper is
often unjustly censured for his
mistakes. The wonder is that he
does not make more of them. On
the average paper be must deal
with all kinds of subjects, give the
names, dates, etc. One hour he
may be engaged in reporting a re
ligious meeting and the next draw
ing the picture of a fight' He
must condense and fill with his
items several columns, whether
events are transpiring to throw up
material for his use or not. Count
the local items in a paper and im
agine how many steps they have
required, how much mental anxie
ty, weary and work they have cost
and some idea of the editor’s work
can be'gatherd. The smallest may
have cost him a long walk and
much effort to reach the facts.
There is no end to his work.
When one paper goes to press he
turns his attention to the next one.
He makes the rounds in searcn of
news and may not get a line. He
may lab*r*for hours in chasing
down a rumor only to find that
there iB [nothing in it. Hi 6 local
columns stare him in the face and
demand to be filled not with skim
milk but with cream of the news
events and matters of interest. His
bounds are limited and yet he
must find in each day and all
through the week, month and year
something of interest to the pub
lic. No more perfect treadmill
could be devised. With such a
constant strain, producing weari
ness of the body and mind and an
almost endless variety of subjects
to be touched upon, is it surprising
that be should occasionally make a
mistake? Other people do, why
shouldn’t au editor?
