"With the coming of "Candida" to the
Academy of Music oft next Monday
theatre-soera will be aelifed with a de
air to read all that can be reached
about the brilliant author, George Ber
nard Shaw. Tha following excerpt
from an article In "The Academy"
(London), In the February number for
1901, will prove Intereatlng reading:
"Mr. Shaw la a bom debater, whether
in speech or In writing. Far too am
, bitlous to leave nature alone, he hue
assldloualy perfected a natural gift un
til It baa become a formidable force In
the country's Intellectual life. Th
" matt who measures sworda with Mr
fc'&aw la foredoomed to defeat. Kir
(suae may be good, but he will be
beaten, and probably rendered rldicu-'
loUS.
"On may, say of Air. Shaw, aa Ma
tauley said of Burke, 'In a few scorch
ing words. he withered up the arguments-
of ,th unfortunate belnga who
dared to oppose htm.' Only Mr
L Khaw'S words don't scorch; they art
cold as ateel and they tut.
"The relation of thin brilliant ,'in.i
wayward intllect to the general stolid
public Is a curious one. The public re
gard him as a sort of ts-t- fly. tfiai
w-Ut not leave them alone. Buzz!
Buss! That man Shaw again slinging
va, piercing our ttiaaka, oversetting out
Ideals, and making us highly umnm
fortable. . In many quartera he if
looked on as an enemy of the British
rase, but the good stolid public do
not know what la good for them."
The theatrical manager of n derail
: ago used to believe that when a play
had been established In public favoi
.' that any kind of a cast could be em
, ployed-to exploit It before the public
, and for that reason and no other, can
a great many of them ascribe theli

Cot. Rosser Wolfe, a well-to-do farmer,
has discovered, captured, killed and
embalmed a monstrous green thing
which measures six Inches from tail
tip to nose-point and half its length

has expressed an opinion on the worm
or whatever It be, calls It the Ab Uno

Mr. Wolfe waa not In town yesterday
and therefore The Observer could not
communicate with him. but the follow
ing facta may' be relied upon. This
monster made Us appearance one day
last , week on a stock of large green
cotton In the garden patch, and In i
single night ate seven rows of fine cot
ton; he took stalks, bolls, lint, seed
bottom crop,, to top crop and all, not
leaving anything but the roots. He
kent thia tin for seven nls-hta anrl -lnn
ed up sn acre, and had time enough
upon his hands then to go over Into the
Darn lot and take a whack at bull-nettle,
Jlmpson weed and Jerusalem Oak
drawing the line on dog fennel.
Mr. Wolfe has the remains of this
beasts or animal, or flah. or Insect, or
bird or what not on exhibit at the home
of Mr. Ben Wolfe; they fill a medlum-
alsed fruit Jar.
It required considerable strategy to
imprison the monster not that he was
! fleet footed, or powerful but because he
pursued his mouth, and with a fire
hose action', shot forth a poisonous
green foamy liquid at his pursuers Col
woiw set a rabbit gum at the crack

An Observer man "called on Capt. f,
Dllllng, who presided over tha mill
meeting held here Monday, sua he was
lesvlng town,' yesterday, for his boms
at King's Mountain, and asked him
what he thought the prospects were for
i good attendance of representative
mill men at the meeting called to con
vene here next week, and he said: "I
Relieve that we will have a good crowd.
'or we are all In the same boat. The
Tillls are out of cotton and the prices
of raw material and manufactured pro
ducts are far apart. We are bound to
lo something., or suffer. That meeting
a for a general conference and discus
sion with' the hope that profit may be
derived by a better understanding
imong ourselves."
The cotton mill men are not desirous
if making war on any. man or set of
lien, hut are simply following the first
aw of nature self-preservation. About
150 mills should be interested In the,
neeting lo tie held Tuesday, ond about
DO representatives should come here to
take part In the proceedings. The hard
yarn mills represent something like 1.-
.VKi.tXMI or 2,000,000.
The following is a copy of a letter
received by a cotton mill of this vicini
ty, a few days ago, from an Knstern
ommisHion house, giving advice to the
spinner: "Your favor of the loth, has
licen received. We note thnt you are
still shut down, and thnt you do not
proiose to start up until the market
reaches a price where yarn will be prof
itable to ninke. This is a very wise con-
luslon and if the other mills that are
now closed will follow out the same
policy It will soon bring the market
around. We placed an order for 20.2
ply warps at 18 cents. This Is the top
notch price."
Kvery day cotton mill men come to
charlotte from the nearby towns and
each one tells the same story if he will
alk nt all, and if he does not open his
nouth his down-cast countenance tells
he tale for him. The bright-faced fel-
ows are the ones that have learned to
lo special stunts of one sort or another.

Facta About tbe I mite
Mr. John Frank Butt, the young
Charlotte man arrested In CJalnesville,
Fla., on the 1.1th charged with embez
zlement of 1305 from the Southern Bell
Telephone Company, is out. The Judge
f the Circuit Court of the Gainesville
lisirlct released him as the result of
i habeas corpus proceeding. This was
inexpected here, for it had been said
that kinsman of the young man would
pay back the lost money. But Butt
must have taken up the case at the
.ither end of the line, and had himself
freed.
Bradley Williams, representing the
American Surety Company, of New
York, reported this case to Chief Irwin,
Uecorder Hhannonhouse and Solicitor
Webb. After the arrest of Butt, Wil
liams was notified and asked whether
his concern would defray the expenses
for going after Hutt and bringing him
back to North Carolina. There was
some elelay, and the answer did not
arrive here as early as It should have
lone. A telegram from Solicitor Webb,
lust night, ordered Chief Irwia to go
for Butt with' the proper pa'pera. Abotit
the time that message arrived one
from the chief of police of Gainesville
urougni the news or nutt s release. i
Hutt must be caught again before.
