A famous author In his particular line of work passed away in Atlanta Sunday In the person of Col. Harvey King Hhacklcford, who treated the 'Old Sleuth ' series of stories, which appeared in five- and ten-cent edi tion and which for years have tlrrlfj ed the youngsters of the I'nlted Ktalcif. Col. SShacklefnrd began writing: the . stories many years ago and turned out ' m great many of them, being credited by hi secretary with the ability to dlctat? a 10.000-word story at one sit ting, only slopping occasionally to take cup of strong coffee. The colonel, we are further Informed, was tiorn near Greenville, (Ja., sixty years ago. He was unsuccessful until he began te. write about the adventure of Old Sleuth and Fred Fearnot. Thin for tune came rapidly. The Baltimore News thinks ''Old (Sleuth" was a force In literature and that the literary performances of few tnen have given a much pleasure as , 111. It 1 these works that the school boy place Inside his geography or oth- - CTJarge book and reads while his teacher marvels at his sttiillousneKs, and the messenger hoy absorbs the ad Venture of Old hk-uth oven as he walk along the street. The News thua vividly describe a typical pan nage In the Old Sleuth aerie: "Behold hi hero hotly pursued by a gang of scoundrels thirsting for blood! B them, follow him with drawn guns in to the house through whose open door he rushes. I'p the stairs he goes, they after Mm. There are two door opening on the, landing-, and the vengeful pursuers halt for a moment between them, thn open the one on the right. W hut it Kindt meets their gain!

The News adds thai "some educa tor are of tho "union that old Sleuth' novel are pernicious, and pernicious only. At any rule, there Is nothing aalaclnu about tbcin. The right always triumphs and the wrong if always overthrown. Ami many it man Who ha turned out pretty well remembers the keen enjoyment he ( out of (hem In his hoy-days, and will read sympathetically of old Hh-uih' IHMNtlng." While Ihe reading .f iiii Mr jst.reN Insy flow mill then Imve moied -i youngster to go wrong., and probably did the greiili xt burin doubtless . aino through his prom-it" to neglect bis lesson or other duties for the Move's, but about this there is no l..mK f.,r the average boy would find something else to absorb Ins attention If In h (, DO Old Heulh Ktory.

District Attorney Jerom for re-election last tall are probably of the opinion that, they were in a preu ty poor aort of a business.- Among Ihe thing which came tip for discission was. the insurance fraud and the public wan made to understand that if Jerome were re-elected the guilty par-, ties' would be prosecuted. After a r great deal of delay and much prodding from the newspaper which had sup ported hi candidacy, the district at torney finally began to bestir himself and It locked as if thing; were at last to become interesting for those who had squandered or misapplied insur ance funds something In which the people of the entire country are Inter ested. Another disappointment was in store for Jerome's friend, however, for when It seemed that he must take up the matter of contributions to the Republican campaign fund by certain Insurance officials, the public prosecu tor rendered a decision that their ac tion waa not In violation of law for the reason that it lacked criminal intent. Judge O'Sulllvan, of the Court of Gen eral Sessions, differed from this view and told the grand jury their duty. His instruction were virtually to ig nore the advice and the opinion of Je rome, to demand from him such Infor mation as he possesses concerning the misappropriated funds, to fix who was responsible under tho prima facie evi dence at hand, and then, having reach ed their conclusion us to what indi viduals should be held to account, to find accordingly. In order to test the matter the district attorney has had George V. Perkins Hrrested on charge of grand larceny In connection with the contribution from the New York Ilfe insurance. Company. In The New York Press of Tuesday we find the fol low Iiik: ' Although District Attorney Jerome ap peared In the City Court yesterday ns prosecutor against Ambrose H. McCabe. the Metropolitan Htreet Hallway lawyer charged with bribery. It became apparent soon after the ease was called that Mr. Jerome really believed the evidence was so weak a dismissal would be necessary. When Judge Meabury. sitting as a magis trate, refused to throw the case out of court, the district attorney left in a buff. From the beginning of the inquiry! Jerome sneered lit the witnesses of tho prosecution, and sought to prove them liars. but showed the utmost cour tesy and respect to the lawyers for the street railway company. When finally Judge Heabury became net tled st the artlon of the district attorney and said that he would sift, the ease to the bottom. Jerome angrily put on his coat and before leaving said that he would not take the case before the grand Jury." All of wh(ch goes to show tjjat Ils trlct Attorney Jerome thinks fdlly as much of himself as he did before the election Indeed, he has always been more or less conceded. How he fooled o rhimy good people is a mystery. Ic Lancev Nlcholl, vice chairman of the Democratic national committee.

'Salisbury, March 29. At the last meeting of the Retail Merchants As Boclatlon, .the free advertising of shows that come to Salisbury waa discussed. It was decided that every play that comes Sallsburyward muU furnish tickets for each window in which the display is made. The mat ter of rates also came up. A commit tee of three was appointed to secure freight rates from various points and have these read at the next meet ing for the purpose of giving them i thorough discussion. This enables the merchants to ascertain when they are Deing cnarged proper fees. The sec retary was ordered to furnish blanks to all delinquents who do not show a disposition to pay and thus protect the association. The association is now planning to have the merchants or China Orove, Spencer, Wood leaf, Cleveland and. all villages In the county to become member of the or ganization for th protection it af ford. The collecting feature Is not the only strong point about the asso elation which make its meetings in terest Ing. MARRIED IN TENNESSEE. There was general interest felt in Salisbury yesterday when the an nouncement waa made that Mr. An nie lilacknier Hallew, formerly of Sal isbury, had become tho bride of Mr. Charles W. Garten, of Tennessee. The ceremony wan performed in Knoxvllle. Mr. Hal lew has lived In Salisbury the greater putt of her life. being a member of tho distinguished Hlackmer family. She left Salisbury several years ago and lived In Ten ncssee until the fall of 1904 .when she returned here. She went back to Ten nessee this week and the marriage was celebrated. Mr. Garten I a man of wtalth and high standing in Virginia where he formerly lived. He also owns proper ty In Tennessee and Is popular there. Thomas Burleyson, of Salisbury, yesterday killed a dog that showed every symptom of madness. The dog is known to have bitten a number of other dog in the city and was making an attack upon Mr. Hurleyon. He shot It with a shotgut. During the dogs career It had everything In the neighborhood frightened and one of Its caprice was that of tearing a duck Into pieces. CANDIDATES FOR THE HOUSE. Walter Murphy and John M. Julian to-day made formal announcement of their candidacy for the lower house. While it has been known for a time that they would make the race, public (tecla ration adds Interest to the fight. These gentlemen will very likely go to Raleigh without opposition. It is Mr. Julian s first political aspiration and his party service has been so corl spicuous and hardly anybody will dis pute his modest claims with him. Mruphy has been three times In the House but there lias been an Interim (luring his sehvico and Rowans un wrlteu law against more than three times will hardly be an effective wea pon against him. Mr. Murphy ha done the State some fine service. The I'nlversltv has had no better friend and he waa Its champion when Its d fenders were none too (popular. He was the chairman of the House com mil tee which settled the South Da kota bond suit and saved the tax payers of the State 1750.000. He Is proverbially witty and brilliant and few men ever went Into colloquy with him without coming out the worst for wear. His speech nomlnat ing Overman for the Senate wa the greatest of the session, a perfect model of fine oratory anil won wide comment. Mr. Murphy's friends will press his claims for the speakership i although this Is a phase of the legls lailve life he will not discuss and I seems to care little about. A. K. I'tit left this "morning for Norwood to attend the funeral of his father. Ell lntz. who died hist night. The elder Mr. Lent would have been til years old had he lived until Julv. He was originally from Rowan and was the lust of a race of men noted for their physical strength and their In dustry. He was the father of 14 child ren and Is surveyed hv 10 of them.

The funernl was held this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Methodist church. 1r I.enU was (Ml years a member of this denomination and never missed one of lis local conferences. A RENTIERS' ASSOCIATION 'Ihe merchant of the city are or ganizing a renters' association fash ioned much on the order of the re- tall association. Its purpose is the protection of Its lneinbers against bad renteis as the other does against bad buyers, 'julle ii number have Joined t h ilcr.
