He was born on May 21, 1863. His pa rents were in comfortable circum stances, but his mother was so -weakly from over exertion in behalf of Confederate soldiers, in whom1 'she took great interest, and other causes, that she was unable to nurse the child, and a colored wet nurse was called in, she being the only one that could be procured at the time. fWhera the child was old enough to be 'weans ed it was discovered that the nurse whose breast had I been supplying it with life, was an incorrigible thief. The child showed a propensity to steal, and has grown up into ah un governable thief, stealing regardless, of value, and apparently simply for the purpose of stealing. A kleptomaniac. His father has spent much of his property in making good the stolen articles, and in preventing the -proses cution and public disgrace of bis boy. This may look at first sight like a put up plea of cunning lawyers, and it may possibly be so in this particular case, but there is much in it. We do not believe there is such a thing as a born murderer, or born thief, but we do believe some children are born with propensities that lean that way, and which will develop into controlling passions under certam" influences. All human beings are more or lees the creatures of circumstances that shape their destinies to a " greater or less extent before they have the , n telligence or the power to shape for themselves.. The child that is; born in the slums breaths the atmosphere of the slums, and if it - grows jup in them contracts the ' habits of the slums. His life is shaped by associa tion and contact, and his moral sen-' sibilities grow accordingly Many -a, jewel has been brushed into the gut ter and swept away in the filth. We do not mean to assert that . all the vice and all the vicious spring from the slums No, they reach higher thanj that, out wnerever tney, are4 causes for them will be found,' and! these chiefly in asssbciation and Contact of the defiling or demoralising qjjey. , . The State erects the gallows, builds penitentiaries, to hang op to lock up its criminals. Millions of dollars are thus annually spent.; It fwbiild. be better, cheaper and more' humane to oegin at tne otner ena, spend more w prevent the development of the mur derer and the thief, and less would be reauireo; jo, ang na oc up. iere is on the globe no more favored coun try than our own, ' non where the people as a whole are in better cir cumstances, better cared for o more self sustaining. - A.n.d. yet these is not ft city qt tp,wn of any site thaVjjuar- ters may not oe touna wnere ine stricken victims of misfortune con gregate and pass their lives fa ' a wretched struggle for existence.

Several years aco Mr. ETailCAtt left nn Aetata tn hiaohilrlMn- of whom there were four unmarried! and one Mrs. Bryan married.' The four unmarried heirs made! wills wherein each one bequeath every- inmg to me otner unmarried ones that survived. When the first one died, his estate was divided equally among the other . three ; ... when the second died, all ;went to the ivmairi- ing two and so on. At least the only Burvivor oi tne rour was Mr. Willi am Faucet who himself died without issue in 1883. - Not one of the four who made these wills left issu: and ou the death of Mr. .William Faucet the property of all four was inherited by his married sister Mrs. Bryan. A part of the property thus inheri ted byV Mrs. Bryan is stock in the Raleigh National Bank. .She, in com pany witn Mr. Bryan, came to this city on Saturday to transfer a por tion of this stocklto a purchaser here.' Judge Keade, however, refused ta al ow tne transfer to be made because he had been notified that the bank- stock is disputed property, .and he could in conseauenca allow no dis position of it until the contest should be settle. . .v .-. r -. ; Theoontestis this: Mrs. Emma V.
