Academy of Music, Thursday Night, February 14th. Amusements An event of Interest to the play going world is "The Squaw Man," which will make its appearance with Henry Jewett In the principal role at the Academy of Muslo next Thursday. The play is described as a "Western romance written by Edwin Milton Royle, and it gets its title from the status which public opinion on the Indian reservations, or among the more civilised tribes, gives a white man who marries an Indian woman. The Indian woman herself may bo white, save to a taint of aboriginal , blood, which gives her a "headrlght;" she may be cultured; the product' of an Eastern university, "and all 'the rest :. of vtt, but her husband ia a "squaw man" just the same, and not infrequently his white neighbors, and full-blooded fellow citizens are prone to look down upon him not a little. Mr.- Royle has taken this idea, and from 1 has constructed what from aU'accounts has proved to be one of tha most enormously successful and most Intensely interesting plays of modern times. , chorus of forty pretty girls, will prove an attractive feature. Sixteen song hits are contained in the musical por tion of the programme and the pro duction will be the original as seen during the memorable engagements in New York, Chicago. Philadelphia, Boston and San Francisco. CHARLOTTE IS "GOOD." ANTE-BELLUM ELECTIONS DR. ALEXANDER REMINISCENT "COLLEGE WIDOW." HQiwttnstanaing that there are quite numerous good things that have become staple favorites In the amuse ment menu with the last year. there is one that stands pre-eminently among the successes, and (hat is George Ade'a delightful "College Wi dow," which is announced for the Amrinmv nf Mustn annn Tha it.. m andfor this typical American com edy this season is so great, that some cities have been necessarily alighted in the Itinerary arranged by Manager Henry W.

Among the pretentious dramatic of ferings of the season the coming pre sentation of "The Merry Wives of Windsor," by Louis James, will be one of the most conspicuous, for it is lid that Mr. James has not only (given a magnificent scenic embellish ment to thla delightful comedy, but has surrounded himself with a coterie of confreres worthy of his association and ' best consideration. Nellie Mr Henry, who has been identified with some of the most Important produc tions of the last decade, haa been specially engaged to play Mistress Quickly, a character that is said to fit her like the proverbial glove.

HICKS' CAPUDINE CU1ES ALL ACHEO Aad Ntmsout IHalsaUlsMs aisralstaftf The Days Before Ballot Box Stuffing, Cheating and Fraud Became Com mon Great Interest Taken In Elec tions and It Was to no Man's Credit When He Remained Away From the Polls Money Was Scarce But Treating Was Expected -This a Wonderfully; Knowing Age Appen dicitis a Fashionable Ailment Written for The Observer. This wag long ago, before ante-bellum times before ballot-box stuffing was thought of, cheating or fraud be came common, or the desire to hold office was co-extenslve with the coun ty. I can remember when it was nothing to a man's credit to stay away from the polls and not to cast his vote. It was considered unpatriotic and a man of any education would be ashamed to be counted with those who took no intereet in the affairs of his county or State. To show what interest was taken in elections sixty years ago, I will cite what I witneisea on one occasion. I remember being present at an election held in the loft of Liong Creek Mill, and an old roan W. B. Alexander, who was no longer able to get in and out of hia carriage without difficulty; the election boxes were carried down stairs, and out to his carriage for hia ballot, and no one objected; but both parties were eager to assist in, providing a way for the old man to exercise his right of fran chise. At this time no ono was al lowed to vote for State Senator, un less he was a free-holder fifty acrea In the county, or three hundred dol lars worth of real estate in the town. And formerly all Jurors were compos ed of land owners. A story Is told of a man who was called for a Juror, but stated to the Judge that he was not a free-holder; the Judge aaked If he j was a married man; he said not. He waatold "to take his seat In the Jury box, that any . man who remained a bachelor till he looked to be 30 years old, had enough dirt about htm to be a freeholder." I remember one man, at the polling place, who took such lively Interest in his friend's election that he sent his four-horse wagon through Ferreltown, to persuade the'cltlsens that it was their duty to vote, and that he would haul them to. and from the election, besides paying their taves. This was not considered buying a vote but help ing the poor. In fact. I doubt very much if there-was any law in force sgalnat buying votes. People would have considered it beneath their no tice to stoop so ow, as to offer money for a vote. But when a candidate has certain friends, he expects them to support him and see' to It that all indifferent persona are persuaded to be. present on this all-Important occasion. And If I am not woefully mistaken. I have seen this good charitable practice of helping the poor to the polls In rub ber tire carriages, kept up in vari ous places by all parties. Treating was expected In all nartlns: end as a general rule whoever treated most iiDsrawy, got the most votes; but a man's popularity with his neighbors, had a great deal to do with his elec tion, and It should have. . . it was not uncommon in the early years i ; of the last oentury.i for, ;; men,, who,. .were strong partisans, the kind who would carry a chip on their shoulder, dare inj- -ua lo.xnocK u on, or speak dis respectfully of the.aama cock's ehsm. plon. These were times when nistols and knlyes did not Indicate braVeryj but ao long as they -ought fair they were let alone till" one or the7 other hallooed "enough.'S., ;; , ; - These old times were inlnni lyi money was scarce, but. the people had but little to buv! narlv all.th. clothing was mads at homeever family knew how to snln and and I our good women, could cut and iiiso an tne cioxnee.v people ste and lept In; the same house, That was the time every 'one .rode horse-back, snd there was no hlfaiutln society.

Succeaa Is the great Incentive In life, and it doesn't matter much how that success is attained, ho the point Is gained. Many people do not con eider the means used, so that they accomplish what they undertake. Suc cess is the aim striven for, the man ner of obtaining it is seldom Inquired Wof. Gen. w. U Davidson was killed March 1, 1781, at the battle of Cow an's Ford 17 miles northwest of Charlotte, N. C. He was buried at Hopewell church graveyard, there Is a bench of brick over his grave; and his son, W. L. Davidson's wife, is buried beside the general, and is marked by a marble slab. But the United States government after wait ing one" hurfdred and" tweirty-flve years ordered 15,000 donated to build a monument to his memory; we suppos ed In our lnnocency that the monu ment would be erected in the church yard, where the body was bureld. But somebody wanted tho Guilford Battle ground ornamented with the Gen eral Davidson monument; and the proper persons were applied to to work the ropes In favor of Guilford, and the matter Is settled. But I wish- to say that If a century or two hence a craze should seize upon the country to gather up hi some great national crypt the dust of our Illus trious officers of the American revo lutionary war, the experts of that period would hardly think of travel ing to the western part of Mecklen burg county to And the dust of Gen eral Davidson, when the monument erected to his memory by the United States government stands near 100 miles from the place of his sepulcher. Some one will say, what ia all this talk about any way 7 I was onlv thinking how history should be ore- served, and keep the wrong body from being substituted for the one we might wish to honor. However. If time does not cease to set up its mile posts for the next thousand veara It will make but little difference to those of us who are living in the twentieth century. Many new things have coma into view within tho last 28 years, of more interest to the generality of people than what is fashionbale In ' ladies' dress goods. I allude to that popu When It was first differentiated and namea, it aoon became an It . rd to have cases among the doctors. It appeared suddenly in all parts of the country. Many of the knowlnr doo- tors said It wag not a new disease, but what we formerly called bliloua colicl . mlrable dlctue. Forty or fifty years ago there was mora than a dosen physicians In Mecklenburg county who knew the difference be tween a hawk and a hand-saw." Aye. and they cured many cases too, when ths disease first appeared; from some they removed the appendix, other the disease first appeared: from some they removed th ap pendix, other cases war tout ed as the symptoms Indicat ed.
