The sub stance of what I "aid. 1 a follow: ".Dr. Osier did not fuy that men after 40 wer absolutely worthless, but that the chief work, the tilling work of the world, has been accom plished by men between the ages of IS and 40 the golden yearn of plenty. "'In addition. I may wiy tht Dr. Osier spoke of the comparative u.ie leasnea of men after 40. and of their absolute valueleHne after 00. "I have examined the manuscript af your forthcoming book, and It will not only prove a cruHhlng reply to Dr. Oiler' startling declaration, but It will be a clasxtc of which the South will be proud.

While the pre had the correct Idea Of what Dr. Oaler said thut. an fur a he had seen. Dr. Osh-r'x actual words had never been publlxheil In North Carolina. The reporter wished to know If he had Dr. Osler'a add rem. He replied that he hHd secured It from neveral source, from The Haltlmore Hun, and other, and a copy from The Kevlew Of Review, under the certlllcate of the State librarian, bearing hi offi cial seal. He thought that verbatim extract from Dr. Oaler'n address would prove Interesting In thl con nection, and asked that they be pub lished a follow: DR. OSLER'H VERT WORDS. "I have two fixed Idea well known to my friends, harm leu obscesslons with which I sometime bore -them, but which have a direct bearing on thl Important problem. The first Is the comparative wselesaness of men above 49 year of age. Thl may era shocking, and yet, read aright, the world's history bear out the statement. Take the um of human achievement In action, In science. In art. In literature subtract the work of the men above 40, and while we hould ml great treaure. even price lemi treaure. we would prac tically be where w are to-dny.

Mr. Henry wu asked a to tha present atatus of hi book, and why It had not u I ready appeared. He said the work involved was much greater than at tlrt anticipated, that It was' nearly 'complwtwi, and tha e a now having eminent men of letters to examlnu and criticise the manu script. He requested the publication of the following letters: Dr. It. F.

Injured. McCuIn wan returning to the city with hln wagon nfter having delivered some lumber out on the lawyer' road. He did not "atop, look, nor listen" when he approached the cross ing. The first Intimation that he had of the train was when It thundered upon him. The teum wa then half way erros the track and the engine but a few feet distant and moving at a high rate of speed. McCain threw himself forward at the moment of the collision and this act probably saved tils life. He did not escape al together, however, for ho was hurled to ono side of the track, hi right leg being broken,-left arm crushed and a severe wound Inflicted on hi head. The wagon whs torn Into kindling wood and the horse badly hurt. Several people were standing near the crossing when the accident oc curred. They rushed forward at once to render any assistance In their pow er. An ambulance was summoned and McCain wan removed to the flood Samaritan Hospital for treatment. The wounds, while severe, are not necessarily fatal and It In probable that he will recover. ti(MMl as Honey. Piedmont coupons. We will pay you tOc. per 100. HchlfT A Co., Charlotte. N. C.
