Several threatening letters came to Judge Watson today. One told him that if Henry Clay Beattie were con victed and sent to the chair his own years would be numbered. Another, from New Brighton, Pa., hand print ed, declared that the gun with whicii Mrs. Beattie was murdered was not in Virginia at all and that Paul Beat tie never saw it. Still another, sign ed "Eye Witness,” said that neither Henry nor Paul committed the crime .snd added its threat for the judge and jury not to dare convict the prisoner. All the communications were anonymous and Judge Watson smil ed as he handed them to one of the "sob sisters ’ as food for speculation. Counsol for the commonwealth also has been receiving mysterious let- ter.«! and messages. One, from New Orleans, came to Prosecutor Wenden burg and said "Prosecute Paul Beat tie.

Where the Favor Came In. A young woman prominent In the social set of an Ohio town tells of a young man there who had not famil iarized himself with the forms of polite correspondence to the fullest extent, when, on one occasion, he found it necessary to decline an invi tation. he did so in the following terms; “Mr. Henry Blank declines with pleasure Mrs. Wood’s invitation for the nineteenth, and thanks her ex tremely for having given him the op portunity of doing so.”—Llpplncott’s Magazine. No Fourth. Senator Cummins, at a dinner in Des Moines, was talking about a gov^ ernment contract that he deemed un fair. “This contract, if accepted,” he said, "would work out like the farmer^s crop. " “A farmer, you know, leased a field to a farm laborer, and the rental was to be one-fourth of the crop raised. “Well, harvest thne came in due course, but the farmer was amazed to find that he got nothing. The tenant hauled three loads of produce to his own barn, but there was nothing left for the farmer. He, of course, rerfion- strated. " ‘Here.’ he said. Tiow^’s this? Wasn’t I to get a fourth of the crop?’ “ ‘Yes, sir, you was,’ the tenant an- sewered excitedly; "but hang it, there was only three loads, sir."—Los An geles Times. THE UPWARD VOYAGE. Elizabeth College Opens Sept. IStht Building Has Been Under the Iransjo rming Hands oj Painters and Plasterers Since June 1st—Faculty Well and Eager for Return. Elizabeth College will open formally on Sept. 15th. The boarding students and the faculty will arrive on the f4th. The present prospects indicate a large attendance this coming ses sion. The interior of tho rooms have been completely transformed. The brown plastered w-alls have been tint ed with marbelo paint, and the floors filled and waxed, and new' furnishings installed. Mr. M. Doneley has had a force of painters at work on the building -since the first of June. The firm of Parker-Gardncr Co. has the contract for new furniture. The college has been most fortunate in retaining its present able faculty. The only change made is in the school of expression—Miss Rusk succeeds Miss Cattrell. Miss Rusk is a southern lady who has enjoyed the best educa tional advantages, being a degree col lege graduate, and also a graduate of the Emerson . School of Oratory, and the Chicago School of Expression. She has had seven years’ experience as an expression teacher. The new addi tion to the faculty is the Rev. Francis M. Oslxirne of Charlotte, and of the Universities of North Carolina and Swananee. He and Miss Jackson will have the chairs of science and mathe matics jointly. Mr. Osborne is a gentle man of strong personality, scholarly attainments, and an experienced and successful teacher. The new catalouge shows that the courses of study in all the depart ments have 'oeen slightly advanced. All the requqirements for graduation are adhered to strictly. The graduates of Elizabeth who enter the universi ties for advanced courses are at a great advantage on account of the thorough college work they have done under able, professional teachers. The Conservatory of Music has built up a national reputation on ac count of its requirements for music teachers. Nearly all of tha present music faculty are graduates of the leading foreign conservatories of music, and are well known profes sional teachers who made a reputation for themselves. All the faculty are here and tre look ing forward with pleasure to their re turn to the beautiful college grounds and buildings. Far up on the river of Life there stands A stately city and fair; And below' It ar« shallows and rapids and curves And whirlpools that strain on the steadiest nerves. And many go blundering there, While a few staunch vessels pass up ward and on. Stemming with splendid force The current that now is terribly strong But tomorrow may glide like the lint of a song. Serene in its beautiful course. Ah, mark how the powerful packet pro ceeds, With a rush and the roaring of steam. Spreading waves that are high and that hiss in their might W^here many a boatman is swept out of sight And left to float down with the stream! And the timbers of many a pitiful wreck Are strewn on the rocks and the shores. And many a boatman is callinjr for aid. ® And a few are undaunted and many afraid. And manj’ lean limp on their oars. The banks of the river are barren sometimes. Or gracefully sloping and green. And the winds that blow over them often are wild. And now and then fragrantly scented and mild. With orchards a-bloom on the scene; And ever the river 4s winding about, And the bars are forever unknown. For the channel keeps changing by night and by day, And the streams that flow in tempt the many away. While a few journey upward alone. The city men call by the name of Suc cess Is a beautiful city to see. With domes that are lofty and gilded and bright And walls that are graceful and splen did and white. And proud vessels moored at the quay; But never from unexpected above, W’hence the waters eternallv flow, Has ever a craft floated down on the stream. To be moored where the columns and cupolas gleam For those who toil up from below. He—“If you women did get the rignt to vote you couldn't in the na ture of thingp keep it.” She (indignantly) —"Why not sir?” He—“Because it is a secret ballot, you know.” regions PORCH BRIDGE FOR MRS. MONTGOMERY. Complimentary to Mrs. Hugh Mont gomery. Mrs. Frank Purcell enter tains Tuesday morning at a porch bridge. Her veranda is charmingly set—an ideal place for drciaiations. The affair will be the distinctive so cial event of the w’eek. —_ MRS. MATHER NOT ABLE TO SING. Mrs. S. H. Mather was taken quite sick yesterday afternoon on her way to choir practice.

Come to Charlotte For Bettei Health Nelson Young Finds Ihat the Water Hereabouts Agrees With Him Much Better than That About Charleston; Ihnejore He Came Here. Nelson Young, a negro who hails from Charleston, S. C., not as a refugee "from the storm swept city, but as a seeker after good health, was taxed $5 and the costs this morning in recorder’s court for be ing drunk and disorderly in a negro drug store yesterday afternoon, was recognized by one of the Char lotte policemen as a negro who was at time well known to the authori ties here and who served a sentence in South Carolina for cattle stealing. The South Carolina authorities w'ere communicated with and it was learn ed that Young had served out his sentence and had been liberated. Whether the defendant was drunk from w'hiskey or was mere intoxicat ed with the striking superiority of North Carolina air over that round about Charleston was not delved into deeply by the court, the fine prob ably being for the disorderliness and the recorder probably deciding that anybody would be liable to intoxica tion by such a change of climate. The defendant stated that he often came tip to Charlotte from Charleston in the summer time on account of his health. “De water up here seems to suit me,” he explained, when asked why he^ migrated from Charleston to Charlotte; "hard water agrees' w'id me much better dan de water what dey has in de low counties.” “Yes, we have very fine water in Charlotte,” the recorder assured him, “Charlotte is famous for its water.” ; Sermon to Melons Westminster Church The Masonic ear will be turnld to morrow night to W'ords of wisdom which will be addressed to the Ma sonic body of Charlotte, in a sermon at Westminster Presbyterian church, by J.

A difficult operation was necessary. To be successful the operation must be performed at once. The services of a specialist were re quired, but he was in a distant city. The specialist was reached over the Long Distance Bell Telephone, the case described and the operation arranged for. The sufferer’s life was saved through the ability of the Universal Bell Telephone Service to bridge time and space. By the way, have you a Bell Telephone ? Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company A REAL SEA BATTLE. Another Tar Heel Honored. Special to The News. Greensboro, N. C., Sept. 2.—Another talented young man has been called from North Carolina to fill a responsi ble position in another state. Mr. Ar thur B. Ray, of Leaksville, has been elected professor of natural sicence in Blue Rirdge College (Maryland) and will enter upon his duties with that college at the beginning of the fall term.

Lord Talbot Demalahide w'as talk ing in New Y"ork about the thorough ness of the customs investigations. "The smuggler,'’ he said, “is bound to be detected if he tries his little game in the metropolis. The smug gler's precautions against detection at this port are as vain and ludicrous as the precautions of the dreaming Irishman. "An Irishman, you know, once dreamed that he was visiting the late Queen Victoria. '• ‘Will you have a drink?’ the qu^en said to him. “ ‘I will,’ said the Irishman. ‘A drop of Irish, av coorse, hot by pref erence, your majesty.’ "So the queen put on the kettle, but when the water boiled the noise awoke the dreamer. "‘St. Patrick:’ said he, ‘I’ll take it cold next time.’ ”—Milwaukee News. Miss Hattie Durham, who h^s been visiting he rsister, Mrs. J. S. Owen, for a week, returned to her home in Shelby today. U.

The steamship Bermuaian, dock ing this morning at the root of West Tenth street, had on board Prof. L. L. Mowdry, curato of the Bermudian acquarian, wnth ten tanks of strange and wonderful fish for the authorities here. * Prof. Mowdry also tried to bring eight young octopi from Bermuda with him but they died on th^ trip. Along w'ith the ten tanks of fish there also came a fish story of a bat tle between a sw'ordfish, a thrasher and a young sp6rm whale, that took place at daybreak w'hile the Bermudian was about 450 miles southeast of San dy Hook. The Jonah-swallower got the worst of the engagement, and while the combat lasted played the double role of punchbag and pincushion. After it was all over his conquerors swam off. Capt. Frayer was standing on the bridge of th^ Bermudian early in the morning when he noticed a great com motion in the water about half a mile off the starboard bow. Swinging his glasses on the spot he discovered a sperm w^hale that was evidently in trouble. Then he saw’ a 15-foot thrasher rise from the water as though it had wings, and land on the whale’s back, using its spiny tail like a flail. The whale attempted to •escape the crushing blows by diving, but quickly rose to the surface again, to be again attacked by-the thrasher. Capt. Frayer looked for the thrash er’s side partner and was presently re warded by seeing the long thin blade of a swordfish cutting the w'ater near by. The 3-foot sword vanished and in an instant the w^hale rose from the surface of the ocean and beat the air frantically with his powerful tail. The sw^ordfish jabbed again and again until the water round about w'as stained w^lth crimson streaks and the whale was making frontic efforts to escape his agile tormenter. At intervals the thrasher took a hand in the game and struck with his tail until it looked like the flying end of a disconnected piston rod. As the fighters passed astern the whale began to spout blood and be fore they were out of sight he was done for.—New Y'ork Sun. FREE TO YOU-MY SISTEfl ering from Woman's Ailmonts!^ I am a woman.
