Court here adjourned last Saturday afternoon, having deposed of the criminal cases and also of the calendar of civil causfs. Itw.s a vry i alea tory court, both to the ieojle and the bar. Judge Justice preeiiies with ease, dimity, ability and fairnees. We noticed that he never "took sides." He let the attorneys run their own case, and when they made their i.oint he would decide them promptly a they were raided. In his sentences he was not an severe as some Judges nor an lenient as others. He "puts on no airs," and does not talk to the gallery. The people of Cabarrus will be plad to have Judge Justice aaiu and as often a-t possible. exec estate ( state I. lHll Jt tUO III It iik e. )i mum, N. C., May 1 "J. I-ute yes terday afternoon the will of the late Washington I"uke was probated, and to day the full details of the will were Kiven to the public. Messrs B. N. Duke and J. li. , Duke are named as mors of th'ejwill and trustees of the While', an inventory of the ias not Urn taken as yet it is stated on the list of beneficiaries that the estate is worth two hundred and twenty-live thousand dollars. It is learned that the true value of the estate will be something more than a million dollars. The value will be shown when the inventory list is tiled. The, will is quite a lengthy and com plicated document. It covers over twenty pages. The will proper is dated November 1-. I"1"1, and the codicil to the wi'.l, which made several changes in the original, is dated July J, I'.'tU. There are quite a large number of beneficiaries under the will. To Borne ' thirty nephews, nieces, grand nephews, grand nieces, and other kinspeople he left 1 ,0no each. This ia to be distrib uted as early as the trustees think proper. To educational, benevolent, religious and other like organizations the following bequests were made: North Carolina Methodist conference, $lo,ooo: J.uu0 each to home missions and to provide a fund for taking care of the acred and" mlirmed ministers of the conference. Western North Carolina Methodist conference flo.ooo; .". UH each to home missions and to care for aged ministers. 'North Carolina -African conference J-.ooo each. Watts Hospital, Durham, f:;,OtH. Oxford Orphan Asylum, f:;,ono. Methodist Orphanage, Ualeigh, $:;,ooo. Kittrell Institute, colored, fo,000. Then there is set aside in trust thirty per cent, of the entire estate, this to be divided at different times until the youngest heir has reached thirty-live years of age. Thirty per cent, of this trust fund goes to li. N. Duke and a like amount to J. 15. Duke. Twenty eight per ceDt. of the trust fund goes to Hrodio L. Duke, and the remaining twelve per cent, goes to the heirs of Mrs. I.yon, the only daughter, who died a number of years ago, these being Mrs. Mary W. Stagg, Oeorge L. I.yon and Ruchanan I.yon. These funds, or a portion of the funds, are to be held in trust. For instance: The li. L. I 'uke twenty-eight per cent, of the trust fund is to be divided so that Mr. Duke will get half the fund d.inng his life. The remaining one-half of thia fund will go to his children, the sons to get one-third each at twenty, twenty-five and thirty years of age, and the daugh ters to get one-third earh at twenty-five thirty and thirty-live years of age. In almost every divi-iou of this fund there is a different provision. The fund is so held that his sons and grand children will always have something coming to them to provide against reverses of any kind in the future. Onl) rurlvor H Hit- Mar of 1812 Die ul II In Home In New VorU Mair al tlie Ate of 105 Years. A v a , May 13 Hiram Cronk, the only survivor of the War of 1812, died to-day at the age of 105 years. Cronk for years occupied a unique place In American history. As the last survi vor of the first foreign war in which his country was engaged after securing independence, he has been honored by the national government, and by his native State as well. Months before death, and when he pronounced himself to be in most per- feet health, the board of aldermen of New York City outlined and practically perfected elaborate plans for disposition of the body. Signal honors were to be shown him, and even the spot where the body would find its lest resting place was selected. He was born at Frankfort, Herkimer county, N. V., April l".', ISM, and be came a memlier of Captain K J ward Fuller's company, the l"7th Infantry, when only a little more than 11 jeare of age. His term of service wag scarcely live weeks, and nearly ail was spent in camp near I. ate Ontario. He had hardly "smelled powder" up to that time. In less than a month he was back in ranks, serving with his father, James Cronk, and his broth ers, John anu jasper, m acu s HarUir. Cronk was married in 1S23 to Miss Mary Thornton, and they lived to gether for i H i years on a farm near this town. They had seven children, lour ing the last year of his life Cronk received from the Mate of ew orlt a special pension of f 7l' a month in addi tion to the pension granted by the Federal (iovernment to all survivors of the War of 11. Under a resolution of the New York City Bjard of Aldermen the body will lie in 6tate in the city hall there, and be buried in Mt. Victory, Cyprus Hall Cemetery, Brooklyn, where more than half a hundred of his fellow-soldiers have been laid to rest. ICoule of lite XoiiiiI,oiiiiI Drpnda I poll ( In uniKlalircn, Wins'ion-Sw.i.m, .

Moro chief, Pala, with f00 well-armed followers, and troops under the personal command of Major General Leonard Wood, l'ala's losses thus far are 300 killed, while those of General Wood are seven killed, and nineteen wounded. l'ala and his remaining follers, in ac cordance with Moro traditions, prefer death to capture. General Wood, has driven and ... -. s been surrounded. l'ala was a noted slave trader and warrior when the Americans occupied the islands. Later, he escaped with his followers t the island of Pula Sekar, near Borneo. One of l'ala's leaders de serted and took refuge in the British settlement at Lahad. Pala, discover ing his whereabouts, landed and de manded of the British magistrate that he turn the deserter over to him. The demand was not complied with and Pala ordered a massacre. Twenty five persons, were killed. Pla escaped to the island of Jolo and organized the present uprising. It is reported that the Borneo autho rities requested General Wood: to appre hended Pala, dead or alive, and turned him over to them. William II. Ilearne Dead. Ai i, km via k, N. C, May 11. After a lingering illness of some months Wil liam H. Hearne peacefully papsed away at his home here today at about 11 o'clock. The deceased had been in de clining health for the past few years, but was not seriously ill until about three months ago. Mr. Hearne was wounded during the civil war and ex posure weakened his constitution. He was at one time very wealthy, but by poor management lost nearly all of hia accumulations a few years ago. He has been prominent in the county's politics and has held both the sheriff's and treasurer's offices. The deceased is survived by a wife and live daughters. Mrs. Hearnp be fore marriage was Miss Frances Swift, of Halifax county. Charlotte observer. Matters in the far Eist seem to be shaping themselves slowly.

The tleetsof Rojestvensky and Nebogatoff are said to have united, but all is speculation aa regards their movements. The most important de velopment of the week, probably, is the stress lsi 1 upon the increasing dis trust of France by the Japs and the at tendant tension between France and England which has come about over the presence of the Kussian neei in Indo China waters. A Japanese official is quoted as voicing the strong disap proval of his government over the stand France has taken and France, on the other hand, is reported aa project ing stronger defenses in Indo-China in the belief that a rupture with Japan under the circumstances, is among the probabilities oli led era IP Velrleraim' Heunloli, Loulavlllr, Kv., Juue 14-10.

Dear Sir : You are so well known that the people have put you in office. They knew what they were about : They didn't do it by accident. Wouldn't it lies handsome thing to do to paint your house? It ia a nice house, has a good substantial commo dius look, and isn't rusty at all, you know ; but a fresh coat of paint would make it so bright ' it's a pity not to. Devoe is beautiful paint, but the beaty of it is : it lasts bo long, and does so much more than adorn an already interesting and attractive edifice. House out-buildings and fences. There isn't a man or a woman in town, who would not see them and make some pleasant remark. Of course, you will paint the town property ; nothing would mark your ad ministration more, in the eyes of the people ; and, having done the same thing at home, it is the most natural thing in the world to do it for them.
