Steadwell, president of the interna tional American Purity Federation to day announced that the sixth interna tional A.inerican Purity congress would be held at Columbus, O., October 23-27. Supenoj Court The case of Kirkpatrick vs. the City of Charlotte occupied the whole of to day in the Mecklenburg superior court. Yesterday was also consumed by the cfise and it is likely that several days will yet' pass before it is ready for the jury. 7'he suit is the most import ant one that is to come up at this term of court. Mr. Parks Kirkpatrick asks $10,000 damages as the result of over-flows from the sewerage system of the city on to his lands southeast of the city, which he alleges has imparod his prop erty to the extent of $10,000. His farm is in Sharon township and the creek flows through his plantation that is formed by th^e junction of Briar Creek and Sugar Creek, the two creeks be coming one before they reach the bounds of the Kirkpatrick place. The septic tank for the eastern part of the city is located on the banks of this creek and the praintiff seeks to establish that an ovcr-flow-pipe at tached to the tAnk is out of repair and allows a large per cent of the sewerage to pass the septic tank unfiltered. Mr. Kirkpatrick testifies that his land was damaged from $10 to $15 an acre. He affirms that whereas he could have sold it a few years ago for $40 It would not bring $30 an acre now. He alleges further that the health of the locality has been impared to such an extent that he had to remove from his farm and come to the city. That It is a very hard matter to secure a tenant for the place and that in a number of respects it has been great ly reduced in value. The defense is conducted by Messrs. Maxwell & Keerans. The plaintiff is represented by Messrs. T. L. Kirkpat rick and Cameron Morrison. Mr. George H. Brockenbrough, who was chairntan of the sewerage commit tee when the septic tank in the lo cality in question was built, testified tliat said, when introduced by the de fense, that the tank was built by an Englishman, C. C. Bedoes, who came here during Mr. P. 31. Brown's sec- That the contest will be a inery one ond administration for that purpose. There was considerable contention as to whether Mr. Brockenbrough should be allowed to testify that Mr. Bedoes was an exi^ert. That testimony was fieally disallowed on t!ie ground th the only iiiformaiion on that point was obtained by letters of inquiry. The attorneys for the plaintiff contended that it is immaterial how that con dition came about, since it can show that the condition exists. r^Ir. Brockenbrough testified that he examined the septic plant a year af ter it was built and found it in perfect condition. Counsel for plaintiff hurried ly objected to the statement, but it had already been said. Mr. C. E. Spratt, surveyor for the city, was subjected to a long examina tion this morning as to the conditions existing on the creek below the tank and in the vicinity of the Kirkpatrick farm. He said in the main that the bottom lands on the Kirkpatrick place were in a somewhat marshy and stag nant condition at times, but that at the time of his visit to them there was no marked odor as escaping sewer gas. He said he had visited the section last year. Mr. W. O. Kibble, who qualined as an expert chemist and biologist and who said he was a graduate of.the Tinsbury Technichal school at Tins- bury. England, was also examined this morning. He is employed by the city and periodically makes analysis of the city's water supply. He testified that he had made frequent examination of the water in the neighborhood of the Kirkpatrick place for a period covering the last four years; that there v.-as a very discernable odor at times of coal tar as one came close to the water in the creek, but that it was undiscern- able a short distance from the creek bank; and that there v.*as no odor dis cernable of gas from escaped sewer- age. Mr. Kibble was asked to go into de tail as to the effect that the alleged conditions would have on the vegeta tion of the locality, on its productive ness, whatever the alleged conditions could be detected by a layman, wheth er the water would be colored in such a manner as to differ from the ordin ary state of muddiness. i\Ir. Kibble was asked to render some of his testimony into more untechnical language in order that the jury might follow him. He was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Morrison, counsel for the ?)laintiff. His testimony 'v\’as regarded as very vital, judging by the length of time employed by counsel for the city in carefully bringing out the witness’ opinion of the conditions and by the time employed by counsel for plaintiff in attempting to miminize the importance of the evidence. Counsel for the city attempted to show by Mr. Kirkpatrick’s testimony as an expert that there were conditions existing detrimental to the value of the property in question w'hich could 'oe traced to a faulty or inadequate ar rangement of the septic tank and sew er mains. The plaintiff seeks to estab lish the fact that, as the restilt of faulty construction, mainly due to the presence of an over-flow pipe allowing a part of the sewerage to escape un filtered, the property has been render ed unhealthy as a place of residence and has greatly depreciated in value. Much interest has been dismayed in the result of the suit and court is attended by a far larger crowd of in terested spectators than has been the case at any recent term of civil court. o ivfbsur) cimJW % M Smoking Open a bag of this real tobacco.

Dr. Mitchell was kept busy today with callers. The Xews managed to have an aside witli hir-i. and found him so delightful a talker that it hasto'^s to advise everyone who can to hear him tonight. Dr. Mitchell's fame is too great for any one to be told anything about him. Educaticnally, he is known the length and breadth of the land. His charm as a speaker—as a talker—is inspirational, in a running talk wi^i the reporter Crd, We must bulid the South into! the life of the nation. j These three grand facts of Mr. Tompkins should i)e the basis of our* work' in the development of th^' South."

Dr. Mitchell said: “I am going out to the school this afternoon and my talk tonight v.ill be mainly on the success of the experi ment that has been tried there. “As a Southern man, I have always been interested in this work from a general standpoint, but since I have been teaching I have made it a specific study. ?.Iy principal adviser has been Thos. F. Parker, president of the Mon aghan mills, who came to the Universi ty for a conference on mill conditions. His speech v.as published in bulletin form. It gathers tip all the faces— each agency—that has contributed to the betterment of the mill and mill village conditions—the work of each denomination, hov%' many workers there have been, the v.’ork of each col lege, the child labor law. “It is my purpose to have Mr. Par ker come back in December and con trast the conditions in the cotton mills and the cotton mill village, em phasizing the fact that one is run in a business-like way, the other a haphaz ard way. “We want to publish this December address as an apepndix to the bulle tin, showing the year’s work to date.” A talker on Southern industrial in stitute work, or industrial work of any class could not talk long without men tioning Mr. D. A. Tompkins. So it was with Dr. Mitchell. In reference to Mr. Tompkins he said: “Mr. Tompkins has been my teacher in this work. He is a master. I quoted him on this subject, and oth ers in Washington, v. hen I talked there, also at the recent Commercial Congress in Atlanta. The body of Mr. Tompkins’ thinking ought to be taken as text book material. He is so true, so liberal, so broad. Recently I heard him mention three things that the South must heed and have in the great work of development that is go ing on, and which is to go on in larger measure each year, 1st, That the South must maintain white standards. Anything less would mean a failure of civilization. 2nd, That the South must give the negro a chance. We fought slavery against the world and failed. Every negro child must be given a chance. The South needs all her talent, and must not cripple any child, black or vUte* but must develop its talent. war was tought," .-iaid Coi. Chas.

Sherman failed to drive us from our position and re treated up the Goldsboro roads and rested. We went to P.aleigh to rest. Then came the surrender. I was Lt. Col. of the 42 X.

Yerniont. off Tangier Island, Che.=;apeake Ba.v, March 21.—The battleship New'^ Hamp shire opened fire with her twelve inch guns on the battleship San Mar cos, formerly the Texas, today in an experimental test of the penetia- bility of modern shells and the re sisting power of thelatest type of armor plate.
