!0 TH!?; CHARLOTTlfJ^ ■CT^WS. JULY 29 19 It A Lawyer Said a te'v days ago. In talking of the advantaees of a Trust. Company over and Individual as gi;ardlan. executor or trustee; ‘‘It often hap pens that an individual’s private interests conflict with the proper discharge of his duties to the estate which he is handling to such an extent thai it is impossible for him to handle it as ■well and as im partially as a disinterested trust company.” The Trust Department of the American Trust Company If devoted solely to the handling of trust matters. An estate com mitted to our hands to be woundup receives the closest attention. As executor of a will we strive to carry out the intention of the testa- torv fo the letter. We are no kin to anybody when it comes to set- tlinc, u!) an estate. We comply with t)ie law and the instrument cre ating th' trust, making regular reports to the proper authorities. We keep uJ :rust funds on hand invested safely, so that profits are al- wavs accruing to the beneficiary. “ THERE CAN BE XO FAMILY DISRUPTIONS over the way an eataie is managed bv us, as there is liable to be when it is left to a member of the family to settle up. Our interests do not conflict with the interest of the estate. American Trust Co. OHarlotte, IN. Capital and Undivided Profits, $525,000 p. C. WHITLOCK, Trust Officer Geo. Stephens, President B. N.

Eskridge, who has been in the Presbyterian hos pital nearly three weeks as the re sult of a pistol wound received from a negro on an excursion train from Catawba to Charlotte, has sufficiently improved to be on the streets again He was shot through the right lung and developed pneumonia shortly af ter reaching the hospital. For several days It was thought he could not recov er. He sayg he will assume his duties again on the police force as soon as his strength permits. In order to facilitate the handling of freight trains into and out of Char lotte. the Southern Railway is con- btriiftin,':: a connection track between the Winston-Salem division main line and the north end of the freight yard at Air I.ire Junction. The track will leave the main line of the Charlotte- Sfatesville line of the Winston-Salem division about two and a half miles north of Charlotte and extend east about one and one-fourth miles to its connection with Air Line Junction yard. This improvement will greatly re duce the mileage made by the Win ston-Salem division freight trains into and out of the Air Line .Junction yard as well as the switching service in the Charlotte yard, and the construction of the track will open up considerable desirable territory for industrial and manufacturing sites. At. present Winston-Salem division trains enter Charlotte near the pas senger station and are then handled by switch engine about one and a half miles to Air Line Junction yard. Out going freight trains are handled by switch engine from Air Line Junction \ard to the present Winston-Salem division connection, the same distance. The old or present connection will be maintained for use of Winston-Sa lem division passenger trains into and out of Charlotte. The work of build ing the track will be pushed to com pletion as fast as possible. $25 for the capture of Sherlock Holmes, Jr., when he arrives. ITCHING IRRITATION.

There are five other distribut ing points in the South: Ixjuisville, Ky.; Atlanta, Ga.; W’ashington, D. C.: Dallas, Texas, and Memphis, Tcnn. Oppose Protective Committees. By Associated Press. St. Louis, July 29.—The organization in New York by holders of bonds and preferred stock of the American To bacco Company of protective commit tees is opposed by certain St. Louis representatives of the tobacco com pany. Paul Brown, of St. Louis, man aging director of the American Tobac co Company, said: “I am satisfied the so-called protec tive committee has no authority from the board of directors. It may be they are planning to oppose the plan of re organization which the officers are working on for submission to the fed eral court. 1 shall not send any of my bonds or stocks to these commitees and will advise my friends not to do so until they iearn more about what they proj)ose to do.” A considerable amount of the secur ities of the American Tobacco Com pany is held in St. Louis.

Humane Society Ihinks of Animals The Charlotte Humane Associa tion urges the public not to neglect watering their livestock, and also smaller animals, chickens, etc., dur ing the present water famine. There is much suffering among ani mals during the summer months, caused from the lack of sufficient drinking water. Through the kindness of Mr. Pro- bert of the Y. M. C. A., who stands ever ready to serve the needs of the public, water is being given free of charge to animals from the well of the Y. M. C. A. People in the out-lying districts of the city who have wells, are asked to place tubs of water in an acces sible place, for passing animals, dur ing the next few days, and in this way alleviate much suffering. Acme Co. Hauling Water For Work Speaker and Interpreter. Charlie Shukers. the new member of the state board of control, addressed the students of the deaf and dumb school at Olathe the other day. The interpreter didn't treat Shukers as he did Henry J. Allen, a former member of the board, when he made a speech. Henry rambled along in his usual en tertaining fashion and frequently re ceived applause. “Well, I seemed to please the stu dents all right,” said he to the in terpreter afterward. “Yes, they enjoyed it very much,” replied the interpreter. “Bui I wish you would explain why they frequently applauded at inoppor tune times,” said Henry. “That's easy,” replied the interpre ter, “You made one speech and 1 delivered them another.” A Significant Notice. Richard Croker, the day of his de parture for his Irish home, said to a New York reporter, according to the Washington Star: “It is the desire for freedom that sends so many Americans and so many millions of dollars abroad every Jime. The Puritanical laws of Ameri ca enslave us. These laws, with their total misconception of freedom and of enjoyment, are well exemplified in a notice board I once saw in a New Eng land park. This board’said; “ ‘Pleasure Grounds. Notice—These grounds are for pleasure only. No games or play allowed.’ ” The Peril Proven. The Oriental peril Is a real pieril, but it menaces our national honor in an unexpected way. Already the Japs have crossed the sea, disembarked on the Pacific coast and marched inland as far as Salt Jjake City; already they have fought a battle and won a victory.

A Deduction. “Say, Pa., said little Johnny, after an hour or two of deep reflection, “if put a lemon and some sugar in a pill o’ water would that, be lemon ade?” “Yes, my son, yes—of course it would,” replied Mr. Squiggles from be hind his newspaper. “Well, then,” continued Johnny, edging toward the door, “if that s the case, I suppose if I put a piece of ar tillery and some gunpowder in a bar rel of water it would be a cannonade, wouldn’t it?”—Harper’s Weekly.

If you sit supinely by and fail to provide your com panion in life’s journey and your own flesh and blood with a home and a reasonable fund for the cloudy, and, perhaps, for the stormy days, then you’ll need an ice plant, a many ton machine at that, to cool your fevered brow on earth, and, when you reach your well-earned home below, you’ll need all the ice plants of earth together with all the fans which can be operated by all the energy of the Southern Power Co. to give 3’^ou one moment’s ease.
