Ow Washington correspondent says the threatened curtailment of the rural trqo delivery service in localities where ' Jess than 2,000 pieces of mall matter v are handled each month would cut oft ',najiy routes iu North Carolina and " the South trenerttlly. This would be ""deplorable, but the danger is perhaps ; V not very great. Extension and bctter- '.tiient of mall facilities even In the ' Sooth are generally maintained and ' - Jnot restricted. The Southern fast mall - appropriation, we recall. is threatened yV, every time It comes before Congress, ( . ' arid fought by some of our own Repre .V sentativea, but this opposition has " pever defeated It, and it is to be hoped "4rprti.vrfa - ---- sever will. J Postmaster General Cortelyou Is , credited wUn the determination to Intake the cm ted states man service '2" the very best In existence, and he has Already accomplished considerable In ,.'fhis direction, notably the cutting off " i. ' e 24 hours In the time required lo ', ' transport tho malls from New York to '- San Francisco. This and kindred Inv ' 'h yrovemcnt are all very well, but they r are not more Important to the public , - than the ability to reach remote points promptly. The fact that the 'actual re . ' turns from thexe out-of-the-wiiy places ' do not cover the expense in reaching " them is no reason why they should not '. ' '"v be 'served. A farmer on a rural route .'V North Carolina, for Instance. Is In a ' 'measure Interested in whether New Tork city's pneumatic tube service is continued because If be ever corro ', sponds with any one In the metropo , ',U it Is to his Interest that the mall ' toove promptly, and for the same rea ',on the New York business man has "merest in me service ui me fiorin Carolina rural route. i. S The extension of the rural free de livery service has really been marvel . t" dus, and doubtless beyond the expecta tion of the most sanguine dreamers. To ' curtail the service, under any pre l tence, would be a step backward that ' would be unworthy of the progressive ' spirit attributed to the Postofflce De partment. For that reason we do not ' believe the department will carry its " threat Into execution. i "t There is opportunity for some exten ' gfon of the service In some North Car Cllna towns which would tend to ln J crease the number of pieces of mall v, matter carried, without additional ex ' pense to the government. This could be accomplished by revoking the rule ; Which now prohibits people living In ' aide the corporate limits of towns from '.enjoying the service. Many of our , smaller towns embrace a large area of - 4 farmlnff liind within their pnrnnraia ' Units and In some cases people live "fiearly a mile from the postnfflce and ".'111 reside Inside the corporate limits. t ' t Even though a rural free delivery car f vVrlet pass their doors he cannot, we are -told, servo them because they live "In f town," while all others similarly sit- Uated except that they are outside the , corporate limits enjoy the full benefit ( of the rural free delivery, and some ,". times, by reason of the shnpe of the , f town many outside are nearer the pOitofflce than others inside. It Is of -""" course proper that some rest riet Ions thould rule In order to keep people In 'f ' 4' tde the towns from taking up too miirn fir T iif rarrHTH iim mir n ini postal authorities would look into the ' ' flatter In a number nf luwni in fhla .,'.'.v .... i,'.

Ralph Waldo Em erson to Thomas Carlyle, dated "Con cord, May 17, 1858," which rune as fol lows: 'Dear Carlyle: Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Ijongworth, ' of Cincinnati, are going abroad on their . travels. . possibly the ! name Is not quite unknown to you. Their father, Nicholas Ixmgworth, is one of the founders of Cincinnati, a bigger town than Boston, where he Is a huge landlord and planter, a patron of sculptors and painters. And his family are most favorably known to all dwellers and- strangers In the Ohio Valley as people who have well, ued their great wealth. Mid chief merit is to have Introduced a systematic cul ture of the wine grape and wine manu facture by the Importing and settlement or German planters In that region, and the trade is already thriving to the gen eral benefit. His son Joseph is a well bred gentleman of literary tastes, whose poKltinn and good heart make him large ly hoKpltable. Ills wife is an attractive and excellent woman, and they are good friends of mine. It seems I have at some former time told her that when she went to Ens-land she should see you. And they are going abroad soon for the first time. If you are in London you must be neon of them. B. W. EMERSON." Thus It appears that Miss Alice's fu ture husband Is not the nonenlty that some editors have endeavored to make him out. Among other things, he pos sesses a few millions and In his collec tions of fiddles Is a S trad i various. An Atlanta dispatch tells nf an Im portant decision rendered In the Unit ed States District Court there after eight years of litigation. An Alabama man, it appears, applied for a $6,000 policy on his life, the application was accepted by the local agent, the flrBt year's premium paid and the papers forwarded to the company by the agent. Before the policy wm returned the applicant died and the company re fused payment, alleging that the re ceipt issued by Its agent was not bind ing. The court held otherwise, and thus established "on Interesting' legal precedent." To a layman It would seem that litigation In such a case was uncalled-for, and the decision Is In line with a common-sense view of the matter. In response to the request for the name, of the author of certsln l)ns printed in The Observer last week, Mr. l'hll. A. Peatroas, Of Madison, sends us the following from the Maxims of llaflz: "if she hath spoken a word, Remember thy tips re sealed; And the brand of the dog be upon him By whom Is her secret revealed. If she hath written a letter, Delay not an instant, but burn It Tear It In pieces, oh fool! And the winds to her mate will return It. Jf there be trouble to her ward. And the He of the hlnckest can clear Then He, while thy Hps can move. Or a man Is alive to hear." The Philadelphia Record notes that striking evidence of the growth of the automobile Industry is afforded by the fact that In eleven months of last year (2,600,000 worth of machines were exported. Of theee England took $831, 787 worth; France $262,058 worth, and the rest of Europe took Just over half a million dollars' worth. Kngland and France as well as other European countries apparently do not share the opinion somewhat prevalent In - the United Plates, towlt: that the onlv real good machines come from Krat.ce. The Birmingham Age-Herald re marks that "an unique situation In the newspuper world Is disclosed bv the act of John Temple Graves In get ting an injunction to keep the business manager of The Atlanta News. Charles Daniel, from selling a controlling in terest In the paper to the Southern Railway." What use the railroad In tends to make of the property In not disclosed; It would be lntereHting to know what it wants with It. That is rather a unique position In which The Atlajitn No we 1 placed. Its editor. John Temple U raves, has petl- ! t;. ,i,.rf the courts to restrain Charles i Daniel, the business manager, from "'""ft a controlling Interest In tho pa j per t" the railroads. Mr. uanid denies ' IIUK ,he PJer to the railroads and charges that Col. Graves Is eeeklrtg to use.

Mr. J. Li. Chambers, Dear Sir: Tour favor of recent date, requesting me te answer, for the bene fit of tho public, certain questions in regard to the planting of treea; en the sidewalks of the city, has not receiv ed an earlier reply because the mat ter did not seem to be of pressing importance. Bui on this good holiday, I find pleasure in giving the mat ter attention, and in order to make it clear, I. now annex my answer to each of your questions as follows: 1. "Have I the right to plant trees on the sidewalk in front of my prop erty?" Tou have such right, If the trees are so placed on the margin, as not to obHtruct the free use of the sidewalk. 2. "Am I allowed to locate them ac cording to my own notions, without regard to the authorities, provided, of course, they are not placed eo as to Interfere with pedestrians?" I could not advise you to locate, trees on a sidewalk "without regard to the authorities." for the Judgment of the committee 6n streets and sidewalks and the views of the Charlotte park and tree commission might not be in accord with "your own notions." 3. "A question arising as to whether a tree does or does not Interfere, who has the power of determining the ques tion? The Mayor7 The decision of this question rests with the board ef aldermen or their committee on streets "under the power to act," and unless malice or abuse of discretion is shown, the courts decline to review their decision, 4. "If the mayor has the right to say whether a tree shall stand or not, does the decision of one mayor con trol the next or all subsequent may ors?" If the board, or the mayor, as chair man of the committee on streets, should decide that certain trees shall stand, this would not bind their suc cessors, because within a few years the removal of the trees might be come necessary, on account of Impor tant street improvements; but If they decide that the trees shall not stand, and should cut' them down, this would be somewhat binding. 6. "If not, please let tne know what Is the proper course to pursue to pro tect myself from loss, in setting out trees which may be cut down?" If you should not 'be satisfied with tho decision of a board of aldermen, it might be advisable to appeal to the more tasteful souls of the park and tree commission, for the courts would not disturb the board's decision, with out evidence of mallco or abuse of dis cretion. . "Once the tree Is set out, has the owner of the abutting property the right to cut It down?" No. 7. "If the streets are absolutely un der tho control of the city, which I suppose to be the 'case, ' and tho city has the right to do as It pleases with them, I wou(d like to have your sug gestlon as to wherer or not an ordi nance could be framed which would establish a system of tree planting1 that would not only protect, but guide, the pin titer, and Insure values, which, It must bo admitted, often depend up on 'the presence of trees?" The right of the city to remove trees from a sidewalk Is not absolute, ex cept where the olty owns an absolute fee simple estate. In the sidewalk; and this Is never the case, where the land has been dedicated or condemned for the purpose of a street and sidewalk. After dedication or condemnation, the abutting lot owner still has the fee slmplo In the bed of the sidewalk and haa the rlKlit to prevent removal of trees growing (hereon, except when necessary for the . use of the side walk, to the publio. But In Charlotte, It may be safely stated that the city's ownership of the streets, In the central portion. Is abso lute. The town was originally estab lished by n conveyance of 360 acres to the town commissioners, who were nf terwards declared by an act of the legislature to be "seised of an Inde feasible ext.'ite In fee, In the said 360 acres of land." Pursuant to said act, the commissioners then laid oft the town and sold the lots to Individuals, reserving the town's title lo the streets. In regard t the establishment of a system fur planting and protecting trees. I wuuld suggest that tho Char lotte park and tree commission might accomplish this by adopting a set of rules and regulations which they could give the force of an ordinance. The last legislature created this une ful conunisHlon. (Chapter 82, Private Laws, 1005.) and mnde it their duty, "to look nftcr tho care and preserva tion nt the trees on the streets of 'n Id city of Charlotte, and to plant out new trees, when, in the discretion , Of said commission. It Is necessary." v . , Very truly yours, HUGH W. HARRIS, city Attorney. The 8'iilora Heat the HiisineW Boys at flasket Hall. There was another very interesting game of basket ball plnyed In the Y.

The movement .Is triaterlatlx Ing satisfactorily and will result In. an up-to-date Institution. ' V In talking to an Observer man, about the proposed college one of the promi nent' physicians who - Is Interested , In the project, said "Yes, you may say that we will have' the college, and 'it Is to be first .class In every respect.lt will accommodate too to 300 students." "Is Charlotte ready' for eucti.&tt In stitution?" was asked. y "O.-yes," declared the doctor, 4'there is no such college, as we would have, between Richmond and 'Atlanta,' and the Atlantic ocean and Nashville. Our school would be of the first rank. That is what we Intend to make it. .; "Why should we not keep our talent ed men at home? Why not have great specialists here? Tne Northern schools and colleges are full of Southern -men! The ry of the day is:, 'LetAtyi keep our money at home!' This Is one, way to do It.. There are 3,00 medical stu dents h.

The climate Is good and . the people hospitable. The dis eases prevalent here would be care fully studied, and that would prove a drawing card. -The idea of keeping our money at home would appeal to many. Our brilliant men go North because they . find better facilities for work. The patiens have to follow them. "Take mem like Drs. Wiley, Howard, Sims, Chisbolm and Loomls! They belong here and the right kind of a college and hospital would keep them here? as Is now the patient must follow them to get advantage of their ability. We should make it at tractive In the South for such talent." "Would Charlotte furnish clinical material for such an Institution?"., "Yes. there are 40,oo people here to draw from and that Is more than any hospital in Baltimore can say." "What would your school briny to Charlotte?" "About 200 students who would spend $300 or more every year, and any num ber of patients to begin with." "What effect would it have on the present hospitals?" "It would make them. Hundreds of patients, that go North now, would be brought here for treatment." "What sort of a plant would you have?" "One that would cost at least $50, 000 to begin with, and there Is no telling what It would grow to." There is no doubt that Charlotte Is to have a large arid well equipped medical college In the near future. The men behind the project have the money ana me anility to carry an enterprise to a successful end. IN MEtfORIAM. Rev. Ir.
