We leave here at 7:30 this evening
for the great World's Fair city via
Chicago, Burlington & Northern Rail
road, where our next stop will be
made. Here, another brother, "W. T."
who spent the Christmas holidays in
Henderson, as will be recalled by
his Carolina friends, is living and it is
on the bills that we are to stop with
him a few days. Then to Washington
and Baltimore over the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad 914 miles, making a
stop in both places long enough to
"take in" the town and see some friends
and we will again set our faces home
ward. But my time is about up and I must
bring these lines to a close. Had I
not consorted as much with Republi
can politicians over in Minneapolis
to-day as I did I could have "written
more and a better letter I am sure.

The man who should and generally
does write the editorial stuff for this
paper is still away. The substitute
was not prepared for more than a four
weeks race. However, the chief has
been on British soil, has traveled so ate
eight thousand miles, and we suddo?
has caught an idea or two, but it is
to be hoped they are not of the "Eng
lish don't yer know" style.
We are pained to see the announce
ment of the death of Editor B. F.
Tipton, of the Mount Holly ATews.
